Health Officer Assumes His Duties.

That this city is patriotic no one will
gansay and this was very much in

river.
On Sunday evening when several
young men who had attended church
on the East Side We're on their way
home to West Pittston and when on
Exeter street tumbled over what
proved to be a hat, coat and collar.
They lighted a match and discovered
that the articles were saturated with
blood. The collar was good in several
places, making very good evidence
that IL dastardly deed had been COM
mitted. They hunted around the vicin-
ity for some time, but could not find
no additional clues. 1t is thought that
a murder has been committed and the
thrown into the river. An investiga-
tion will be made.
John Thompson, the new health off,
Ger. commenced his duties this morn
ing and his first movements will be
watched very closely by the tax
payers, who are at a loss to know
what is done by the working member
of the health board. Mayor Harding
stated to a Tribune reporter that he
endorsed every word that that paper
had said in regard to the unnecessary
increased expenses of the city. Health
Officer Thompson says he will see TO
it that certain members of the coun-
Gil who own property on Main street
and who voted for the sewer system
and have not yet made connection with
the same, will do so, or the board Of
health will know the reason why.

Wilkes-Barre and were well patronized
by those who We're patriotic enough to
take a day off, in honor of Dewey.
The new fruit stand in front of the
National house, is cne of the boldest

On Saturday night chicken thieves
paid another visit to Peckville's classic
precincts, but their haul was a small
one, and it appears that their exit from
the town was hurried. The attempt
was made at the Kenyon homestead
on South Main street the chicken coop
was entered and sixteen choice fowl
killed. The thieves must have been
scared as they decamped taking only
four chickens leaving twelve that had
been killed, lying upon the ground near
the coop. AS usual there is no clue
to the thieves.

Of stocks and bonds on the local stock

of London investors. Foreign holders of
American securities, on the contrary,
were extensive sellers. and these secur-

American securities of the aggregate
value of more than $40. .000 and it is
estimated that the Lucania is carrying

which sailed from New York in the mid
die of this week have also on board many
packages containing American stocks.
Foreign houses which sold these securities
in this city for London account have been
borrowing the stocks on the exchange
here for delivery and will now be able
to return them. The sales of American
stocks by foreign holders have been paid

A LACK OF CONFIDENCE
America Should Outline It's
Cuban Policy.
A LONG LIST OF EVILS
The Dishonest Agents of the Spanish
Regime Are Still Retained in Of
fce- Caprice Is the Rule of
General Brooke.

Havana, Feb Appointment Ameri-
cans who are studying the Cuban ques-
ton express the belief that if the
United States government would define
it's Cuban policy it would do much to
ameliorste the feelings of unrest and
fear and the lack of confidence which
prevail among all elements. From the
Cuban standpoint the actions of the
United States are full of mystery and
evil portent. If the governments policy
was more definitely defined Cuba would
know who is to nav the American army
of occupation and statements to the eff
feet that these moneys are being col
1ected as Cuban customs would not
evoke troublesome sentiments.
La Lucia prints long list of Cuba's
alleged ills from the pen of Gen. En-
rique Collazo, from which the following
extracts are taken:
1.-The treasury department expresses
the intention of giving an honest adj
ministration, but it employs men who
were used to the dishonesties of the
Spanish regime and the department of
justice is administered as under Spain.
We hoped, but yainly, that the Ameri
cans would teach us new and better
ways. 1t was logical to believe that
they would break the old moulds and
build on methods prevailing in the
United States. There, laws based upon
the demands of the people prevail, but
in the American administra ton in cuba
caprice rules with the sword and the
Cubans are thrown aside and almost
communicated.
THE Cubans demanded with one
voice the payment of their army and
the United States responded with in

WALCOTT THE AGGRESSION
Ryan Was Sent to the Floor Twice-Was

ed Welcott.

Cincinnati. Feb. 4,-The largest crowd
since John l.. Sullivan and Dominick Nc
Caffery fought here in 1885 witnessed the
boxing contests at the Stag Athletic club
arena here Tonight. The main attraction
was a 15-round go between Australian
Jimmy Ryan and Joe Walcott, the Black
Demon at catchweights for a purse of
1880. Tom ORourke was Walcott's chief
adviser and second. John Murphy of
Cincinnati was referee.
Walcott was the aggressor during the
entire contest, Ryan continually cinch-
ing. The contest was tame. as Ryan laid
back for a knockout with his right In
the 18th round both men rushed at each
other and landed hard body blows with
the right. In the breakaway Walcott
landed hard left swing on Ryan's chin,
flooring him. Ryan took nine seconds of
the count and upon arising rushed to
clinch. Walcott pushed him from him
and swinging a hard left-hander on the
jaw. again sent Ryan to the floor The
latter got to sitting position. but the
referee, seeing that he was helpless stop
ped the contest and awarded the decision

A MAN
LOST.

Lostl No man understands the full
meaning of that word like the man who
has been lost. He will tell you: 81 was
in the woods going ahead steadily when
/ realized I'd missed the trail. With a
cry of LOST I broke into run heed
less or Ignorant of the direction I was
going"
VI The first impulse of man lost in the
woods is to run. The only safe thing is
TO sit right down and reason out the
position.
Sometimes business man gets up at the
usual hour, breakfasts, kisses his wife and
starts for the Office. He has for some
time seen signs that he was off the trail
of health. To-day the signs multiply.
His brain is dull and dizzy, his heart
does not beat right, his breathing is diff
ficult, his limbs feel tremulous. He is
scared. He realizes that he's far away
from the trail of health, and suddenly
like panther from tree, the thought
leaps on him, "You are lost man.
The first impulse is to run for help,
though the way is honey-combed with
pitfalls of quackery. But the rational
man faces the facts, sits down and
4 thinks over the position and its proba-
bilities.
THAT IS the man we want to talk to.
Disease in almost any form is gen.
orally accompanied by the failure of the
organs of digestion and nutrition. Re
establish these organs in healthy action,
the blood is at once enriched, the body
norrished and the general health re-

Boston, Feb. AT a meeting of the
committee of stockholders of the Elec-
trolytic Marine Salts company to-day,
Winslow Warren made an oral report
of the progress to the effect that of
the 100000 shares of stock originally
issued, about $954,000 worth was sold.
The balance stood in the name of Rev.
P. F. Jernegan. This balance has been
turned over to the company and prob
ably will be cancelled. OF the stock
actually sold more than 100000 has
been turned over to the committee with
instructions to represent the holders in

COSMOPOLITAN SWINDLER.
Arrest in Paris of Forger Who Made
100000 Francs.


Lexington, Feb. 4.-The Paris police
have arrested a new variety of bank
swndler whose victims are scattered
throughout Europe. He is a Greek of
the name of Etienne Apostoulos. and
was accustomed to figure as French
Jew of the name of Jacques Levy. He
has scooped in million francs by
means of ingenious forged coupons
since October. Many minor banks on
the Continent and in England received
instructions from jacques Levy at a
Paris address to pay sums varying
from 500 to 1000 francs to a person
stated to be visiting in their locality
The letter contained coupons gener-
ally of the Egyptian unified debt to
cover the payment. The person named
was never found. and the bank would
then write and ask Levy what to do
with the coupons. He always replied
to sell the coupons and send the
amount by check.
Levy thus cashed valueless paper
for hard cash, but the other day a
Berlin bank, struck by the peculiar
nature of the business, asked its Pa
ris representative to inquire into it.
They found that the coupons were for
geries. Levy was arrested He was
astonished, he said, because he studied
the French code and found that it did
not include frauds committed outside
of France. This proved true, but he
was held, because eleven foreign coun-
tries demanded his extradition.

Raid on u DistilIery.

New York, Feb. 4.-Revenue Agent Rob-
ert Williams jr., has made the first raid
on a registered distillery that has been
made in New York for % years. He has
seized and contiscated the dstillery and
contents of Joseph Swartman of Brook
lyn Theodore Alderman, a partner of
Swartman; B. Goldberg and Rudolph
Lipa, employees, were arrested. Swartman
will be arrested as soon as the officers
can find him. The distillery is one of the
only two of its kind in New York, where
a very high grade of brandy is made.
Swartman was granted a license last No
vember. Since that time he has been run
ming on full time but has never applied
for revenue stamps. This aroused the
suspicious of the officials. The officers
secured evidence convincing them that
goods were being illegally removed from
the place. Seizure and arrests followed
The property seized is valued at $4,000

CANDIDACY ANNOUNCED.
Daugherty of Ohio Has Defied Senator
Hanna,

Columbus Feb. 4.-State Chairman
Harry M. Daugherty will be a candi-
date for the republican nomination for
governor.
This was decided tonight, when Mr..
Daugherty issued statement to the
press in which his intention was made
known.
Mr.. Daugherty and his friends have
been in active consultation for the past
week on this matter. His recent visit
to Washington, at which time he had
an interview with Senator Hanna,
served to somewhat unsettle his convic-
tons on the matter of his candidacy.
Mr.. Hanna made it plain to him to-
night that his candidacy would net
have the support of the adminstra ton
and might be favored with it's active
opposition.
Mr. Daugherty returned to this city
somewhat downcast. but not disheart-
ened. After careful review of the sit
uation he and his friends failed to and
anything of discouraging nature and
accordingly he tonight intrusted his
frail bark to the waves Of politics.
His friends and associates. among
whom Secretary of State Kinney and
State Food and Dairy Commissioner
Blackburn are the chiefs, assert that
his victory is already assured.
They claim to have received assur-
anceS OF their ABILITY to control the next
state convention for their man.
News to-day from Washington to the
effect that President Mckinley and
Senator Hanna are regarding the
Daugherty candidacy with alarm. and
it may be that active operations against
him will not be frowned upon.
A typewriter statement was tonight
issued to the press by Mr. Daugherty
which reads as follows:
Mr. Daugherty, have you decided
yet as to whether or not you will be a
candidate before the next republican
state convention for governor"
Eyes, SIR
"when did you make your decision?'
"To-day."
Twill you be a candidate?"
81 will'
what have you further to say with
reference to your candidacy?'
Nothing at this time, except that
am now candidate and hope to be
nominated and elected"

"That is matter of which no one
can speak with any degree of accuracy
at this early date. The question of the
nomination rests entirely with the re-
publicans of Ohio, who will decide the
matter"

CONNECTICUT WORM TURNS.
Wooden Nutmeg State Objects t. Peach
Stone Almonds Sent From New York.

Stone Almonds Sent From New York.
A special correspondent of the New
York Sun from New Haven says: TT
pretty nearly time that we heard the
last of Connecticut's wooden nutmegs,"
said a New Haven fruit dealer the other
day, pointing to bag of nuts which he
had lately received from a New York
wholesale house. "Our friends over
the line, 1 find, can go us one better, as
l have just learned to my sorrow. That
bag there, for instance which I intend
to ship back al my earliest convenience,
is notable example in point"
And as he spoke he dived down into
its depths and brought out handful
of apparently tempting almonds. Look
all right, don't they?" he continued.
But you hadn't better try to crack
them with your teeth, as several of my
customers did. Now, what do you sup
pose those almonds really are. a large
consignment of which l received the
other day from the New York wholesale
house with which deal? Peach stones,
sir, every one of them! BY some infer
nal process, which have not succeeded
in fathoming, these New York Yankees
have succeeded in transforming these
peach stones until they are the most
natural almonds in the world, at least
so far as looks go. When you take one
pelWeeH your teettl OF attempt to apply
it even to a nut-cracker, you discover
the mistake-not till then. I sold a
large number of the darn things to sew
eral of my best customers, who nearly
broke their jaws in their attempts to
extract the meat. They have well-nigh
ruined my business in this city / am
rapidly getting the reputation of the
wooden almond man. AS l say, it is
nearly time those New Workers stopped
referring to Connecticut as the wooden
nutmeg state
