two symptoms are mentioned which the
general public do not realize as being
caused by catarrh. These are irritability
of temper and confusion OF memory. IN
relating his experience Mr.. Clark says:

but prevented me from fixing my thoughts

Ny throat was dry and frequently filled

TRAGEDY OF THE STOCK TI.KER
Man Whose Luck Failed Killed His
Son and Himself.

Norristown, Pa, March 21.-A horrible
murder and suicide took place yesterday
evening a quarter of mile above Belfry
station, on the Stony Creek Railroad. The
murderer was John Kratz. and the victim
was his son Milton, aged nine years. Krat2
lived quiet life with his wife and son
on small farm. He made daily trips to
Philadelphia, and was considered here
abouts as a very shrewd buyer and seller
in stocks. During the past week he has
not been as successful in his transactions
as heretofore.
Yesterday morning he left home as usual
about Z o'clock and proceeded to Philadel-
phia. His success there was best told by
himself on his return yesterday afternoon,
about o'clock, when he exclaimed TO his
wife, I'VE are ruined; / have lost all.
There's nothing left but the farm" His
wife tried to comfort him and endeavored
to make him look for the silver lining of
the overshadowing cloud. He would not
cheer up at first, but did seem to become
more reconciled in the course of an hour.
At AIS o'clock his only child, Milton.
returned from school and danced about in
boyish glee. He readily ran TO the work
shop at the barn. when his father asked
If he would turn the grindstone while he
pened when they arrived In the shop no
one knows or will ever know When they
had been absent from the house about
half an hour Mrs. kratZ thought she would
call in her son 10 study his lessons. Her
calls bringing no response, she went to in
vestigate the cause, when a horrible sight
met her eyes. There lay her husband and
the son on the floor in pools OF blood which
had flowed from holes in their heads. The
husbands hand was still clutched TO the
instrument of death, .3s-calibre pistol.
Without waiting or investigating further
Mrs. Kratz gave the alarm, and neighbors
hastened to the spot.
Coroner McGlathery was notified. and
came with his physician. DR.. William Mill
er. The doctor found that two bullets had
been fired into the boys head Immediately
back of the right ear. blowing out his
brains and causing instant death. The
murderers own death was in the same
manner, except that but one bullet was re-
quired TO kill. The walls OF the room

island. and. taking advantage of the confu-
sion following the murder, he ransacked
his effects and stole bundle of papers
which struck him as being OF possible
value.
But he couldn't read word OF any
language but his own, and the charts and
directions were useless TO him without the
aid of an interpreter. In view OF the cir
cumstances under which they were pro-
cured the subject was delicate one 10
broach to another, and for some time
after his return to Manila Foo couldn't t
decide whether TO study Spanish himself
or take I'm partner. While he was think
ing il over he got into trouble with the
authorities and was imprisoned Where II
was difficult for him 10 conceal his precious
documents let alone carry on the lnVes-
tigation.
Shortly before the outbreak of the
Spanish-American war he was released on
condition that he leave the islands. so
he established headquarters at Hongkons,
where he met me- Somehow / won his
confidence and he took me into the game
From all appearances his papers really
furnish the key TO the hiding place OF
the Dons treasure. We should have start
ed on our search months ago but for the
war Neither Foo nor ! cared to trust
ourselves on the Philippines until salts

a fever, which delayed us again.
Now we're all ready 10 start. We have
a little yacht of our own with Malay
crew and arms and ammunition to fight
either the Moros or our own men, should
they become obstreperous. Malay sailors
sometimes do. By the time you get this
letter We shall probably be in the thick
of the adventure. If you don't hear from
me again you will know that either the
natives or our crew have downed us and
may as well have our funeral sermons
preached and erect monuments in the fam
ily hurying ground"

THE FAIRFAX STONE.
Noted Landmark at the Corner oi
Two states and Four Counties.


Cumberland. Md, March 2i.-The recent
pulp mill trial at Hagerstown for Po-
tomac River pollution caused much enquiry
as to the exact location of the Fairfax
stone so frequently referred TO in the
trial. which marks the source of the his
toric stream. The Fairfax stone is at the
corner of two States-Maryland and West
Nirginia-and four counties-Garrett, in
Maryland, and Preston, Tucker. and Grant,
in West Virginia. 1t is said to have been
the first monument erected in what is now
West Virginia to mark ownership of land.
The stone had a base two feet six inches
square, and the shaft was of sandstone,
four feet six inches from base to apex.
There was no date but on each side were
the letters IF. X" This stone. which was
one of the most interesting historic monu-
ments in the United States, was destroyed
In December, 1884 by some persons un-
known. 1t is generally believed that mis-
chievous boys were at the bottom of the
vandalism The Davis Coal and Coke
Company had a stone cut as nearly as
possible a reproduction of the original, and
put in its place. The stone still stands.
The planting of the Fairfax stone mark
ed the wind-up of a survey completed in
October, 1746, to determine the extent OF
Lord Fairfaxs patent. The King of En-
gland granted Lord Fairfax's petition to
allow the survey. and the commissioners
appointed to carry out the work started
from Fredericksburg, Va. The object of
the survey was really to determine the ex-
tent of the Potomac River and to locate it's
first spring or first fountain. At the mouth
of the south branch halt was made, but
the north branch was decided to be the
true continuation of the Potomac, and the
tedious Journey was continued until the
fountain head. the present site of the
Fairfax stone, was reached. Then the par
ty returned. and the surveyors made a
map and sent it, with their report, to Eng
land. The stone was planted several years
later.

ENLISTING SOLDIERS.
No More Recruits Wanted for Regu-
lar service I'm the Philippines.

Enlistment officers througout the conn-
try were instructed by the War Depart
ment yesterday not to enlist any more
men for regiments of the regular service
now in the Philippines or under orders TO
proceed there. This action WAS made
necessary by the fact that everyone Of
these regiments is enlisted up 70 its full
strength. Since recruiting was begun TO
fill the army in conformity with the re-
organization act of March ., 1899, there
has been a great rush of enlistments
Nearly every man who applied for entry
into the service wanted to join regiment
that was in the Philippines or going there,
and as far as possible these were accom-
modated The applications for enlistments
in regiments that will probably remain on
home service OF are in Cuba or Porto Rico
were comparatively few, but came in

TRADE IN THE TRANsVAAL.
Splendid Field for the American
Manufactures in SOuth Africa

Splendid Field for the American
Manufacturer in South Africa.
Consul Macrum, of Praetoria, has trans
mitted to the State Department some in
teresting and valuable information con-
corning trade conditions in the Transvaal
He says in part:
There is a great field in South America for the
American manufacturer and exporter. there be-
ing so many rich concerns here which send prac-
tically all their business TO Great Britain and
the Continent, large share OF which might he
diverted into American channels, if our export
and manufacturers had only the same conf
dence in the dealer here that they have at home
| am convinced that the dealer in South Africa
has an equal amount OF honesty, and undoubtedly
at his command, the question of
remoteness being the only thing against him.
The question has been asked: Why does tho
foreign dealer give the preference to European
manufacturers?' This may be answered VERY
simply with another question: ''Why does the
American manufacturer or iObber exact from the
foreign customer settlement of account for
goods purchased long before the goods are re-
ceived, and frequently before the goods have ever
been shipped, when the European manufacturer
is willing to extend a credit for at least thirty
days2"
Again, the Englise and German manufacturers
canvass for trade through the medium of clever
commercial travellers. who visit the dealer per-
sonally. and none Of whom carries more than five
or six different lines. Above all, they are thor
oughly acquainted with every line they carry.
Contrast with American manufacturer. He
makes contract with export commission
house and sends the house Il line of expensive
samples, besides inserting costly advertisement
in the columns of its monthly or weekly "Ex-
port Journal" What is the result? The com
mission house has hand from seventy-five 10
a hundred and fifty different lines OF goods not
. per cent OF which it knows anything about i
it possible to handle needles, sdeboards traction
engines, firearms stoves, tacks, railroad cars,
hooks and eyes, bicycles. etc, and make a com
mercial success of it? When say commercial
success, | mean commercial success To the man
ufacturer, not TO the commission house. which, il
goes without saying, has very comfortable profit
out of the transaction the advertising alone.
II to me a perfectly logical proposition
that the American manufacturer goes
directly after the foreign trade with the vim and
energy he displays in seeking trade at home, the
faster will be his progress.

MEXICO AND MONEY ORDERS.
Rejoicing at the Prospect of Such
Postal Service.

Consul Jones, of Tuxpan, writes the
State Department that there is much re-
ioicing throughout that district and
throughout the entire republic over the
prospects of a money order postal service
between Mexico and the United States.
''It will be the means, l think, of intro
ducing many of our goods into these mar
kets" the Consul says. The money order
and parcel post systems open up such a
field in Mexico for the mailing departments
of our large stores that it will pay our
merchants TO cover it with catalogues
printed in Spanish. The well-to-do fami-
lies of Mexico have long been anxious for
our goods, and only the means of getting
them has been lacking"

WANT AMERICAN BEEF.
Citizens of Strassburg Suffer From
Restricted Imports.

Restricted Imports.
Max J. Baehr, consul at Kehl, Germany
informs the State Department that the city
of Strassburg is sufferer from restriction
of American beef importation.
Beef costs from IA to 33 cents a pound
pork from Is to % cents, mutton from 10
to 25 cents veal from IL to SO cents per
pound, according to quality and cut: poul-
try, game, ETC., are so expensive that only
the wealthy can afford them. Many fami-
lies are compelled to forego the use of
meat entirely, or to adopt horsefiesh as a
substitute for those generally used.
The consumption of horse meat has
grown in all parts of the country. Ac-
cording to figures given by the statistical
bureau of the city of fStrassburg there
were slaughtered in 1896 S22 horses and
mules, in 1897 s99, and in 1898 1,O99 The
killing is done at the public slaughter
house.
The price of horse meat is also going up
steadily; it ranges now from 6 to cents
