HRASTUS CORNING DEFENDED.
Bishop Doano Denies Stories OF His
Allercd ENtrnvnnnnce.

Bishop Doanc Denies stories OF His
Alleged Extravaganza.
Albany, N. Y, Nov. 17.-When a few
months ago Erastus Corning died here,
a reputed millionaire and connected
with many large institutions, many
newspaper articles appeared claiming
that his money had been extrava-
gantly squandered, and that $l2, 900, 900
left him by his father had disappeared.
From the pulpit Of All Saints cathedral
yesterday Bishop Doane. while mem
tioning Mr.. Corning's many gifts to
the church, denied these stories and
put the matter in a new light. Ao-
cording to Bishop Doane the elder
Corning left very little bu encum-
bered property for his son. The bishop
said:
HE was a richer man before his
fathers death than when he came by
inheritance into the possession Of a
large property, which was seriously
embarrassed and encountered. He was
confronted with a problem which the
average business man would have met
by simply letting mortgages be fore
closed and debts paid by whatever
amount of money he could accrue from
the sale. But his love for his father
and his reverence for his good name
and memory led him at this time to
take a position which was heroic. The
later embarrassment of his fortune was
due neither to carelessness nor lavish
expenditures of money, but to the sem
timent of maintaining the institution
which had borne his fathers name

EDITOR MALOY's suggestion that
the newspaper publishers of Carbon,
Luzerne, Schuylkill and Northumber-
land counties organize themselves in
an association for the purpose of
getting a uniform rate for advertising,
etc, has met with general favor at
the hands of the fraternity. 1t will
not be a difficult matter to organize,
but we apprehend that it viii require
a greater amount of vigilence and
energy to see that the rate is honestly
enforced by the members of the asso-
citation after it is organized. An asso-
citation has been formed in Schuyl-
kill time and again, but it proved
almost impossible to get the members
to carry out their promises. If
Brother Maloy's plan will secure this,
there is no good reason why the asso-
citation should not prove beneficial to
publishers and patrons alike.

THEY RIDICULE IT.
MANY PEOPLE RIDIcULE THE IDEA OF AN
ABSOLUTE CURE FOR DYSPEPSIA
AND STOMACH TROUBLES.
Ridioule, However, is Not Argument and
Facts are Stubborn Things.

Ridicule, However, is Not Argument and
Facts are Stubborn Things.
Stomach troubles are so common and in
many cases so obstinate to cure that people are
apt to look with suspicion on any remedy
claiming to be a radical, permanent cure for
dyspepsia and Indigestion. Many such pride
themselves on their a]cuteness in never being
humbugged, especially on medicines.
This fear Of being humbugged may be
carried too far; so far, in fact, that many
persons suffer for years with weak digestion
rather than risk a little time and money in
faithfully testing the claims Of a preparation
so reliable and universally used as Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Suart's Dyspepsia Tablets are vastly
different in one important respect from or
binary proprietary medicines for the reason
that they are not a secret patent medicine, no
secret is made Of their ingredients, but
analysis shows them to contain the natural
digestive ferments, pure aseptic pepsin, thu
digestive acids, Golden Seal, bismuth, by
drastis and nux. They aae not cathartic,
do they act powerfully on any organ,
they cure indigestion on the common sense
plan Of digesting the food eaten promptly,
thoroughly before it has time to ferment, sour
and cause the mischief. This is the only
secret of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never can
Indigestion and stomach troubles because
they act entirely upon the bowels, whereas the
trouble is really in the stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, takeu after
meals, digest the food. That is all there is to

known In Paris society,"" who had been
requested to resign his commission In
the army In consequence of the contin-
ued leaking Of military secrets since
Captain Dreyfus was deported, has
written a letter to General Billot, the

mands an investigation, and says that
he is ready to reply to all the charges
that may be brought against him.
Count E~sterhazy, in an interview, de-
clares he Is the victim Of a plot. He
adds that a month ago he received an
anonymous letter warning him that a
former high official of the war office
was formulating charges against him.
The count Immediately Informed the
minister Of war Of the circumstance,
urging him to investigate the matter.
A week ago a lady handed him docu-
ments, extracted from the Dreyfus' pa

missing Dreyfus to such an extent that
when published they viii create an
enormous sensation. He had handed
these documents to General Saussier,

NOT ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD

A fact often overlooked, or not always under
Stood, is that women suffer as much from dis
tressing kidney and bladder troubles as the
men. The womb is situated back Of and
very close to the bladder, and for that reason
any distress, disease or inconvenience mani
tested in the kidneys, back, bladder or urinary
passage is often, by mistake, attributed to fe.
male weakness or womb trouble Of some sort.
The error is easily made and may be as
easily avoided by setting urine aside for twenty
four hours a sediment or settling is evidence
that your kidneys and bladder need doctoring.
If you have pain or dull aching in the back.
pass water too frequently, or scanty supply,
with smarting or burning, these are also con
vincing proofs Of kidney trouble. If you have
doctored without benefit, try DR., Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy. The
mild and the extraordinary effect will surprise
you. 1t stands the highest for its wonderful
cures. If you take a medicine you should take

service has been q prime %favorite for tourists
from the North seeking the mild climate of
Florida, will be placed in service by the

train, which will be solid Pullman vestibuled
between New York, Philadelphia and St.

THE enormous amount Of patent
medicines and proprietary articles
bought and consumed by the Amer
lean public shows how general has
become their use for alternating and
curing common ailments. Patent
medicines introduced by expensive
newspaper advertising are, by a large
portion of the people, bought and
used. This being the case, the de
mand for the advertised articles prac-
tically constitutes the more important
part Of the everyday business Of
many druggists. Noting the demand,
and dissatisfied with even the larger
margin Of profit allowed them by the
OF patent medicines, some
druggists practice what is known as
substitution, " a term meaning the
sale Of some other article than the
one called for, and which yields them
a larger profit. This practice is alike
dishonest and dangerous, both to
the public and to the man who mas
spent Thousands or millions Of dollars
introducing and creating a demand
for some medicine or thing Of merit
aud value. The substituted stuff is
usually IN inferior ~concOetion, which

THH endorsement of ex-Assistant
United States District Attorney Har-
vey K. hewitt by the Leaders League
as the candidate for the Republican
nomination for Receiver of Taxes, in
Philadelphia, would appear to be a
startling manifestation Of David
Martins weakness in the municipal
body polite. The two-thirds vote
accorded Mr.. hewitt by the Ward
Leaders League, according to the
rules under which the League was or
ganized, means that each leader will
do all in his power to send hewitt del
egates to the nominating convention.
Secretary of State Martin made every
effort to have the present incumbent,
Mr.. Roney, endorsed by the leaders
He signally failed in this, and the
fight that is sure to follow to marshal
the administration men for Roney
will be hot and vigorous. If Mr..
Martin fails to land his brother-in-
law back in the Tax Office for another
term it will be a hard blow to that
supremacy which he has for so many
years maintained.
