Is 1t Right for an Editor to Recommend
Patent Medicines?

From Sylvan Valley News Brevard, N. C.
1t may be question whether the
editor of a newspaper has the right to
publicly recommend any of the vari-
Gus proprietary medicines which
flood the market, yet as preventive
of suffering we feel it duty to say a
good word for Chamberlain Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy We
have known and used this medicine
in our family for 20 years and have
always found it reliable. In many
cases a dose of this remedy would
save hours of suffering while physi-
clan is awaited We do not believe in
depending implicitly on any medicine
for cure, but we do believe that if a
bottle of Chamberlain's Diarrhoea
Remedy were kept on hand and ad-
ministered at the inception of an at
tack much suffering might be
avoided and in very many cases the
presence of physician would not be
required. At least this has been our
experience during the past 20 years.

NEW STRIKE is ORGANIZED.
One Hundred Men Start 1t and Claim
Great Success.

One Hundred Men Start 1t and Claim
Great Success.
1t was the hope of the strikers to
make deep impression by their sue
cess in Second avenue, and so far as
rioting was concerned they and their
sympathiZers made it. On the other
lines throughout New York the strike
was not at any time prominent during
the day. Last night, however, the
motormen on the Eighth avenue line
to the number of 100 or more organized
and declared strike. They thereupon
set about to persuade their fellow
workmen to leave their cars, and with
sufficient success to have cars running
on only an hourly schedule before mid
night. Today, they declared, Eighth
avenue would also be tied up. The
officials of the Sixth avenue line made
the statement last. night that the cars
on this avenue were moving about the
same as ever.
At 1920 last night all operations on
the Second avenue lines were sus-
pended. None of the officials of the
company would assign a reason for
withdrawing the cars, but the strikers
claimed that the company did not
have men enough to run them. The
last car was housed about 10: 80, and
d HSdNy SudTu Va pOllcSIneH put ABOUT
the power house. Detectives were
posted on the elevated structures to
watch the surrounding streets and
prevent any one from throwing ex-
plosives on the building.
In the borough of Brooklyn the
strikers made some gains so far as the
diminishing of trolley car traffic was
concerned. Fewer cars were running
on the lines. But the dynamite out
rage in the early morning hours was
undoubtedly a severe setback to the
strikers. General Master Workman
Parsons announced last night that he
will today issue a call to all the presi-
dents and secretaries of all the labor
unions in Greater New York to meet
Friday night in the Grand Central
Palace to take some action to sustain
the street car men in their present
fight The strikes now in progress in
this city affect all the surface lines of
the Brooklyn Transit company in
Brooklyn, and all the electric lines of
the Metropolitan Street Railway conf
pany on Manhattan Island

New York, July 20.-If the strikers
wanted to make plenty of work for
the police and at the same time get
into district where they could de-
pend on popular sympathy they made
wise selection yesterday in taking
the Second avenue line for the prin-
cipal fight of the strike. The real
trouble did not begin until thousands
of working people who live along that
great thoroughfare came home from
work. By z O'Clock Second avenue
from Tenth street to the stables at
Ninety-sixth street, and even as far as
One-hundredth and tenth street. was
filled and on both walks with dense
mass of people, all eager for trouble.
Captain Donohue, of the East Sixty
first street station, earlier in the even
ing had sent out a squad of men to
keep people out of the middle of the
street so that no tampering with the
slot might occur.
Police Like Chips on n River.
But his men were like so many
chips on a river when the tide is
strong, and they were tossed hither
and thither. They used their clubs
with all their power. and the only re-
suit was to anger the crowd so that
little discrimination was shown be-
tween the police and the car men
when bricks were thrown. At about
8 o'clock a great crowd gathered be-
tween Forty-second and Forty-fifth
streets, and attempted to overthrow
the cars that came along but thirty
minutes apart. Officer Owen Conivan,
who was on a, car bound south, was
hit on the head with brick and
knocked off his seat to the pavement.
His left eye was almost knocked out.
He was taken to the Flower hospital.
Women Were Perfect Furies.
Mike Sheridan, a strike sympathiZer,
was taken home with a fractured
skull. A sergeant and forty reserves
were got out on the double-quick and
dispersed the crowd. making a num-
ber of arrests. Another crowd got to-
gether in n minute or two at Fifty
fifth street and Sec~nd avenue, and
when a car bound down came along
it met a perfect shower of bricks,
stones and other missiles thrown from
the street, the windows of the flats
and the roofs. Women were perfect
furies. While a car was passing
Seventy-second street with Policeman
Gallagher as an escort a score or more
of the mob tried to board it to take
off the conductor and motorman. Gal
lagher got off, and drawing two re-
volvers, walked ahead of the car clear
ing the track, the mob -retreating sui
lenly. Some one threw a brick and hit
Gallagher III the leg, cutting him
badly. And so it went all the evening.
1t was an evening of turbulence and
violence.

TROUBLE OVER AT CLEVELAND.
Police Chief Thinks the Strikers Have
Struck Once Too Often.

Police Chief Thinks the Strikers Have
Struck Once Too Often.
Cleveland, July 20.-The police sue
ceeded yesterday in maintaining fairly
good order along the lines of railroad
in operation, and the task was not a
difficult one. Chief of Police Corner
says he believes the men have lost the
sympathy of the police to a very large
extent since the last strike, and that
it is the reason why there is less dis
order. A few stones were thrown at
cars passing the corner of St. Clair
and Water strets during the noon
hour, when hundreds of employees in
cloak and clothing factories were out
after luncheon. Several policemen in
threw the missiles, but they were
hissed by the men and women en-
ployed there.
Workmen in the factories at the
crossing of Central avenue and the
Pennsylvania railroad congregated at
noon and hooted at the non-union men,
but no damage to cars was done. The
strikers maintain great reticence con-
cerning their plans. They refuse to
make a statement for publication. 1t
was announced yesterday that a big
mass meeting would be held to-
night, and it is stated that these strik-
ers will publish a daily newspaper be-
ginning today, in which they can pre-
sent their views of the controversy to
the public.

and disappeared, probably to South

He also left confession of his rascaii-

guilty in their behalf and demanded an
immediate hearing They answered to
a charge of conspiracy substantiated
tS the affidavit of William Ashby, an
investigator" who deposed that on
meeting at Carberry hall and that
there was talk of buying dynamite. the
use of the dynamite to be contingent
on the action of the engineers of the
elevated railroad concerning the propo-
sition to strike
If the elevated employees refused to
go out, somebody suggested, dynamite
should be used to blow them up. Such
remarks, said Ashby, were followed by
1--WE WILL" I'VE will" Ashby further
stated that he saw O'Hara and three
others leave the hall, saying they had
the stuff with them, and that they had
in their pockets packages rolled in
brown paper looking like dynamite.
Magistrate Brenner held the prisoners
in bonds of $3.50.
O'Hara, the man who Ashby said
carried the dynamite, stated that he
and his companions had nothing what
ever to do with the dynamite explo-
sion, and that they had fallen asleep
in Carherry hall while waiting for the
returns from the sympathy meeting at
Cooper Union, and were asleep at the
time the explosion happened. The
first they knew of the explosion was
when they were aroused by the police.
General Master Workman John N.
Parsons has offered a reward of $500
for any legal proof that legitimate
striker has engaged in violence against
human life, such as the use of dyna-
mite or other atrocious proceedings.
