NICHOLAs is sINCERE.

LONDON, November s.-William T.
Stead, writing to the Daily News from
Sebastopol, after an interview with
the Car at Livadia, reiterates his con-
viction of the earnestness and sinceri-
ty of the Cars purpose in proposing
disarmament. Mr.. Stead says it is inn
possible to repeat the conversation,
but he adds:
But my opinion is summed up in a
remark which | made to princess of
the court, who, meeting me as l was
leaving, asked me: We'll, what is
your opinion?
II replied simply: L thank God for
him. If he is spared to Russia that
young man will go far"
Mr. Stead adds that he found the
Gar possessed of exceptional rapid
ity of perception, united with re-
markable memory and very wide
grasp of an immense range of facts.

o'clock last night. Several policemen
and Captain Parker and half dozen

in few seconds. A big crowd also
gathered. 1t was found upon investi-
CATION that the report was that of
1910 rifle cartridge, placed on the
tram rail by some mischief maker
and exploded by a wheel of the Puma
hou car. Captain Parker said he
would give month of his salary to

track. The police think member of
the n. c. II. did the mischief.

NEW PREMIER.
Pleased With Outlook for a Return Of
Quiet.

PARIS, November 9.-The ministe-
rial policy announced by the Premier
NJ. Dupuy, in the chamber of deputies
yesterday, has been generally well re-
ceived. The cabinets policy of con-
ciliation and its decision to end the
attacks on the army are approved,
and the chambers endorsement OF
this policy also meets with approval.
The Gaulois says the court of cassa-
tion has decided to hear the Minister
of War NJ. de Freycinet, in its investi-
cation into the Dreyfus case, and that
the court will content itself with his
statements, without insisting upon
seeing the secret documents in the
case. .
The Fronde says the case against
Colonel Picquart, who was charged
with communicating to unauthor-
lied persons the contents of import
ant military documents in his defense
of Dreyfus, has been quashed, and
that the prisoner, who has been close
ly confined will be released today.

OLIVER TWIST.
1t is a Melodrama to the Very Last
Limit


Ashton Stevens writing in the San
Francisco Call says of the Nance
O'Neil and Mckee Rankin production
of Oliver Twist:
1t was a melo-drama to the last
limit, and Miss Nance O'Neil reached
her superlative in the part of Nancy
Sykes. All the roughness of voice
and method and the Nesuvious person
ality that have been more or less too
much for the other roles that she has
played here before. Nancy is char
acter that demands of an actress
strength, health and frank brutality.
There is no mincing matters; no del
icate compromises. The part will
stand for no feminine Establishments.
1t is hard and terrible; in these quail
tiles lie its spell and its grim pathos.
Miss O'Neil did not spare an atom OF
her vanity in playing it for all that it
was worth. She was large. husky,
dark and unpretty to gaze upon, and
she moved like a ship in a storm; but
she was the Nancy Sykes of Dickens
and we all were in gooseflesh of ap-
probation.
Mckee Rankin, too, came into his
melodramatic own as Bill Sykes, fa,
miliar role of his to the older theater
goer, and one that shows him at hi:
violent best Herbert Carr was rath
err too hysterical as Fagin, and Miss
| Affie McVicar was the victim of thai
silly old tradition which contends
that girl should play Oliver. On Ol
iver hinges the sympathy and intrigue
of the play and there is no sense il
denying him even sex. The others die
nothing notable, but played with com
mendable unanimity and sound. Any
one who cares for melodrama of the
good old hair lifting kind can have {
thrilling time at this performance o
| Oliver Twist.

TYPEWRITERS!!

In no line of mechanics is excellence
of construction of such vital import
ance as in Typewriters.
The PEERLESS is especially noted
for its durability, simplicity and its
speed.
Considering first cost only the
PEERLESS is not one of the So
called "cheap machines" but looking
at it from business point of view,
comparing quantity and quail
ity of work, loss of time from break
downs on steamer days, when the
Typewriter is most needed, and cost
of repairs, as well as the life of the
Typewriter, the PEERLESS is with
out an equal and is the cheapest ma
chine on the market.

Mrs. Todd left by the Rio yesterday
for Kusatsu Springs, in Japan, for
medical treatment. She has been at

quite impossible. Mrs. Todd has been
under treatment for long time. She
was at the settlement for a while. She
never believed that she was really af-
ficted with leprosy until indisputable
proofs appeared a short time ago.

Mir. Editor: In the issue OF your

j. A. Cleaver. Only in the interest of

We make the following reply:
As road commissioners we have pub
lished our annual report in your paper

budy, We have given the public true
statement of the moneys received and
paid out during the year, to whom ana
what for. Our books have been sub
United to the Lery Court. and bear
thsir audit as to their correctness,
which We have published, and IL there
10 any discrepancy. which Mr. Cleaver
alleges, there ia a higher tribunal than
himself in psrson. We do no business
with Mr.. Clesver, his duty is to collect
the taxes and pay them to the county
treasurer, and whatever business there
may exist between them in regard to
their accounts we do not know.
We have never seen Mr.. Cleaver's
duplicate or receipts and have no right
to. We have 10 our possession a little
written statement presented to US ny
him and whether it cams from his
duplicate or not, we do not care. We
only know that until the money has
bven received by US wa can give no one
credit for it, and we have received only
what We have published, and until
some authority higher than one IN
dividual of our respective hundred COM
msnds us to cross OIL from our bucks
II t.,ly nu
are still due our people.
And little further, Mr.. Editor, the
gentleman attacks a bond of S3, 300
held by j. L. Cochran, and Btatos that
| it should be one of our liabilities, there
| is little question but that any bond is
Of such nature, but this bond has
been in existence for years, aud the
hundred is only liable for the interest
thereon, which is duly charged. Unless
this bond be called in by the holder
and in such case, there would be the
same provision made for the extermina-
| tion OF it as that of the existence OF it.
| We could have gone into details with
our resources further by submitting all
OF road machines, scoop, pickn, ahorels,
lumber on hand, and our gavel pit of
considerable value, and should have
| given such statement or inventory had
the hundreds roads been put at public
auction, but our statement is only in
tended to show our taxpayers tho con-
dition of our finances, and to that end
We devoted ourselves. 1t has never
been customary nor is there any legality
or oompulsion for such statement as
thu OK. resident of Red Lion demands,
and we surely trust after few more
years, he may become peaceable
citizen of old st. Georges.
Respectfully submitted, MIR. Editor.

this to public notice, insisting that at

Joseph Trees Chemical Composition De-
signed to Make Night Attacks Practical.
A new chemical composition which
may prove of great value to the United
States in its naval fighting has been in
vented by Joseph G. Trees of New Mar
tinsville, W. Va, and formerly of
Pittsburg. The composition includes
magnesium, aluminium, sodium and
potassium.
1t may be hurled inside of projeotile
and ignited at any given point in its
flight. 1t will burn in the water and
cannot be extinguished 1t is designed
to be thrown into the sea in the neigh
borhood of an enemy's vessel, lighting
up the latter as if in broad daylight,
while the attacking vessel remains in
the darkness. The composition affords
light within great radius and makes
q night attack practical.
The attacking fleet may lie safely in
the darkness, miles away, while its
guns are trained on the enemy, brought
into plain view by balls Of fire rising
and falling on the ocean waves. The

Emil Gathman of Chicago, an expert

tied the Carnegie Steel works in Pitts
burg recently and made arrangements
for a test of new explosive shell re-

and with Mr.. Gathman has been work
ing on the shells. About dozen are to
be manufactured by the Carnegie con-
Germ. They will be put through rigid
examination by government experts at
Sandy Hook.
The invention has already been offer

partment stands ready to accept it pro-
vided the shell fills all requirements.
The inventor refuses to say anything re-
garding them except that they are of a
more dangerous nature than any pro-

A woman's headaches may come from
several causes. She may have headache
arising from nervousness, or from diges-

headaches come from disorders peculiar
to her sex. 1t may show itself in the
symptoms which are characteristic of a
dozen disorders. Thousands of times,
women have been treated for the wrong
disorders. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-

sole purpose Of relieving womankind of
these ills and pains. Thousands.of women
have testified that after taking treatment
from several physicians without benefit
the "Favorite Prescription" cured them
completely and quickly. 1t has been
used for over thirty years, and has an
