A NEW GARBAGE INSPECTOR.
One Named Whose Appointment Ma,
Cause Friction.

An appointment of a garbage inspector
was made today by the District Commis
sioners, which will probably cause some
trouble among the authorities in the Health
Office, as it was made in direct opposition
10 the recommendation of the acting Health
Officer.
Some time ago William P. Carson was
removed from the Health Department, in
which he held the position of inspector Of
garbage. Commissioner Wight in signing
the papers directing the removal recon-
mended the appointment of Frank w. Coun-
tee to fill the vacancy. Countee made a
formal application for the position to the
Health Officer. and had a personal inter-
view Some days after the application was
received the acting Health Officer returned
the papers in the case 10 the Commission
ers with the recommendation that the ap-
plication for the position be denied.
In his endorsement he stated that he con-
sidered the nature of the work on which
the inspector would be engaged and the in
terests OF the service in general called for
a little higher order of intelligence than
the applicant possessed. Nevertheless Com
missioner Wight recommended that the
man be appointed and the remainder of the
board concurring in his opinion the papers
were made out today

TRADING FAIRLY ACTIVE.
Federal Steel and Sngar Refining
Features in the Stock Market.
Dealings ON Foreign Accounts Linz
tied in Opening Operati0ns-A Gem
orally Firm Front Prevented I'm In
1tfal Tranxactions-The Standard
Issues Receiving Fair Attention.

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-The stock market
opened fairly active and in the main firm.
The London market was shown at general
advances, in comparison with the closing
prices of Saturday. which cireumstance was
effective in shaping local sentiment. The
dealings here for foreign accounts, however,
at the opening were of small proportions
The strength of the London market was
generally attributed to the absence of more
warlike developments in South Africa, but
as matter OF fact, the advices touching
upon the status of affairs there were not
very definite.
Expectations that the week Will witness
a further relaxation in thes money market
accounted in part also for the steadiness OF
the local market. Interest was fairly we'll
diversified in the industrial quarter. The
standard issues and the local traction stocks
all received a fair amount of attention.
Federal Steel and Sugar Refining were the
features in the industrial quarter, while
Louisville and Nashville. St. Paul, and
Southern Pacific we're the leaders of the
railway list. Brooklyn Rapid Transit
showed somewhat reactionary tendency
at the opening, but it later rallied ip sym
pathy with the general market. There was
an utter absence of news over Sunday bear
ing upon the market or upon particular
stocks.

A BIG JUDGMENT.
The Owner of a Street Railway Loses
His Case.

ALLENTOWN, Pa, Oct. 9.-The Penn
sylvania Supreme Court has decided in
favor of the plaintiff in the case of the

gage for 100000 to the Industrial i'm
provement Company of Boston, of which
they were also directors, the trust COM
pany taking a mortgage as trustee for the
bondholders. Two years later Mr.. John
son bought majority of the Transit Com
pany's stock but declined to pay this mort
gage, contending that it was fraud in
law.
The case was bitterly contested Attor-
neys Root and Clarke, of New York, ap-
peared for Mr.. Johnson, and W. B. Put
ney. of New York, and former Judge Har-
vey, of Allentown, for the trust company.
Referee John Rupp decided in favor of the
Old Colony. Mr. Johnson appealed to the
Supreme Court, where his side was argued
by Ambassador Choate and Congressman
Kirkpatrick, of Easton. The Supreme Court
now aff1rms the decision and gives judg-
E1ent against Mr.. johnson for s303, 600. in
cluding $4,000 interest, SIS, 600 for counsel
fees, and $4,000 for the referee.

American line steamer Kaiser Frederick,
Captain Albers, which arrived this morn
ing from Hamburg, Southampton. and
Cherbourg, grounded for thirty minutes
near the Iron Pier at Long Branch, short

engines at the rising tide uninjured, and
proceeded OF the bar, where she anchored
until the weather cleared, at 10 a. m, and
then proceeded to quarantine where she
arrived at 1880 a. m. On board the
Kaiser FREDERICK Captain Albers and his
officers denied that the ship was ashore,
asserting that owing to the prevailing fog
the steamer ran slow until land was sight
ed off Long Branch, when the engines were
reversed, and the ship was backed off into
deep water.
From one of the steamers passengers 1t
was learned that the Kaiser Friedrich ran
into dense fog early this morning The
engines were running at reduced speed
About Z a. m. the lookout reported land
ahead and the chief officer who was on the
bridge Immediately ordered the ships en-
gines reversed, but the steamer had such
headway that she refused to answer her
engines and took the ground where she re-
mained for thirty minutes. &

loon, 2I4 second cabin and only 10 steer
age passengers. -av

GOOD DOCTORS
Are Quick to See and Appreciate
Real Merit In any Preparation
Many of Them are Now Pur-
chasing Stuart's Dyspep-
sfa Tablets I'm All StOm-


sia Tablets I'm All StOm-
ach Troubles.
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are dis
covery OF great value to the medical pro-
fession and the public. They are an un-
and disordered digestion.
Almost everybody's digestion is disor-
dered more or less, and the commonest
thing they do for II is to take some one
of the many so called blood purifiers, which
in many cases are merely strong cathar-
tics. Such things are not needed If the
organs are in clogged condition, they
need only little help and they will right
themselves. Cathartics irritate the sensi-
tive Innings of the stomach and bowels
and often do more harm than good.
Purging is not what is needed---The
thing to do is to put the food in condition
to be readily digested and assimilated-
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do this per-
fectly. They partly digest what is eaten
and give the stomach just the help 1t
needs They stimulate the secretion and
excretion of the digestive fluids and re-
lieve the congested condition of the glands
and membranes. They put the whole di-
gestive system in condition to do its work.
When that is done, you need take no more
tablets, unless you. eat what does not
agree with you. Then take one, or two
tablets-give them needed help. and you
will have no trouble.
It's common sense medicine and COM
mon sense treatment and it will cure every
time. Not only cure the disease, but cure
the cause. Goes about ii in perfectly
sensible and scientific way
We have testimonials enough to fill a
book. but We don't publish many Of them.
However,
Mrs E. NJ. Faith, of Byrds Creek, Wis,
says: / have taken all the Tablets got of
you and they have done their work well in
my case, for l feel like different person
altogether i don't doubt ii / had not got
them l should have been at rest by this
time.
H. E. Willard. Onslow, Ia, says, Mr..
White, of Canton, was telling me OF your
Dyspepsia Tablets curing him Of dyspep-
sia, from which he had suffered for eight
years. AS / am a sufferer myself, l wish
you to send me a package by return mail.
Phil. Brooks Detroit, Mich. says: Your
dyspepsia cure has worked wonders in my
case. l suffered for years from dyspepsia
but am now entirely cured and enjoy life
as l never have before. l gladly recon-
mend them"
1t will cost SOC to find out Just how much
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will help you.
Try them-that's the best way to decide.
All druggists sell them. A little book on
stomach diseases will be mailed free by

BETHANY'S BANNER DAY.
story of Two Young Women Who
Fled from Tent.

Fled from Tent.
Almost with the rising OF the sun yester-
day the people began pouring into Bethany
Park. They came from all directions and
in all kinds of conveyances. Nearly the en-
tire day there was constant stream Of
vehicles entering the gates and the space
covered by them for picketing and hitch
ing purposes was about five acres. II seemed
that the whole countryside had turned out.
The people of the city and the little towns
along the railroad also added large quotas
to the attendance. the trains both going and
coming being loaded down. 1t was certainly
the biggest day Of the season. Many of the
old-timers pronounced ii to be the biggest
day in a number Of years. 1t was impos-
sible to give an accurate estimate OF the
crowd, but the guesses were from four
thousand to six thousand. The people were
scattered over the whole forty acres of the
park and they spent the time in an orderly
and religious manner. Hundreds OF them en-
joyed the luxury OF lounging in the grass.
while others promenaded on the hill sum-
mits or where the trees were thickest. The
day was dreamy. with a gentle breeze that
made IL almost ideal
The serving of dinner TO such a large
crowd was a serious undertaking. Both the
hotel and restaurant were 'eaten out" ~
load OF watermelons was consumed and
some people finished up on peanuts 1t is
not believed that anyone went hungry, how
ever. Mr.. Gale and the other officers of the
assembly We're much pleased by the fine
turnout and they say now that Bethany
has seen its worst days and Is on the up
grade.
There was little gossip In camp yester-
day. thu daY being $500 to religious
