Ia II Rioht for an Editor to Recon-
mend Patent Medicine?

From Sylvan Valley News, Brevard, N. c.
1t may be a question whether the
editor ola newspaper has the right to
publicly recommend any OF the vari-
Gus proprietary medicines which flood
the market, yet as preventative OF
suffering we feel it duty to say a
good word for Chamberlain's Col1c,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy We
have known and used this medicine in
our family and have always found it
reliable. In many cases dose OF TINS
remedy would save hours of suffering
while a physician is awaited. we do
not believe in depending implicitly on
any medicine for a cure, but we do be-
lieye that If bottle of Chamberlain
Diarrhoea Remedy were kept on hand
and administered at the inception OF
an attack much suffering might be
avoided and in very many cases the
presence of a physician would not be
REQUIRED. At least this has been our
experience during the past twenty
years, For sale by all druggists

No Lady Would Do
Such a Thing.

No lady would take her watch when
out of order, to the first person who dis
PLAYED the sign Watches Regulated
and Repaired" But she would carefully
enquire for a man whose acknowledged
skill entitled him to take i'll charge the
delicate mechanism.
How much more careful should a
woman be, when she herself is disor-
derded, not to entrust the delicate and
complex mechanism of her being to the
first man or woman who displays the
sign Medical Advice Given" No sign
is to be trusted which says Medical
Advice Given" and stops there. Medi-
cal advice can be given only by ply
stefan. An accredited physician will put
his title with his name Suppose a sign
reads, medical Advice Given by a
Man" What woman would rot i'll
stantly say, "The fact of being a man
doesn't qualify him to give medical adj
vice. He must be a physician to do
that" But suppose the sign reads:
Medical Advice Given by Woman
Is not the fact just as patent that being
1UDIaH does not qualify her to give
medical advice. The woman must be
a physician to do that. Medical advice
given by an unskilled woman is just as
dangerous as if given by an unskilled
man.
In inviting sick and ailing woman to
consult him by letter without charge,
DIR. Pierce points to an experience and
practice of over thirty years, devoted
specially to diseases peculiar to women.
In that time DR.. Pierce and his associate
staff of medical specialists have success

Buried Alive Under Coal.

HOBOKEN, n. J., Oct 24.-William Hig-
gins, forty-fve years old, who was known
in upper Hoboken as Buck the Hobo"
was found yesterday morning buried under
thirty tons Of coal in Jagels Brothers coal
yards, in Fourteenth Street The body was
discovered by laborers who were loading
the coal into wagons. The body was stand
ing and the arms were extended upward,
as if the man had struggled to extricate
himself when the coal poured down upon
him. Higgins entered the yards Sunday
evening, as was his custom, in search of
sheltered spot in which to sleep. 1t is
known that he was intoxicated at the time.
and it is thought that while he was under
one of the large coal pockets he pulled
lever and opened a chute Thirty tons
of coal ran out, and before he could ger
out OF harms way he was buried alive

THE LETTERS COKE DEAL.
& Successful Test of the New Hem
iUgwHS Process

CHICAGO Oct 24.-Startling develop
! ments now seem likely as a result of tbs
successful test made yesterday of the new
4 Hemingway coke ovens controlled by Levi
/ z Letter and Joseph Letter. Tests were
made in the furnaces of the Chicago City
/ Railway Company of coke reduced from
coal mined al Danyiile ILL.,, showing con-
clusively that the Hemingway system is a
complete success inasmuch as the project
can be used for smelling and blasting pur-
poses.
Western coal has heretofore never been
coked with anything approaching gfatify-
ing results, the percentage of fixed car
bons or heat giving qualities bling TOO low
TO render ii commercial commodity.
The success Of the present testmeans that
/ an uneXcelled grade of coke can be pro-
dUced in Illinois and sold for a trifie less
or more than 81 a ton. The best grade of
coke now on the market reduced in the
Connellsville, Pa, country, sells for $3.50
a ton.
similar grade of coke coming from
Southeastern and Southern States COM
manGs price on q par with that secured
from the Connellsville product, and it is
said cannot be sold al a reasonable mar
gin of profit for a much less price.
Coke men say that if the cost OF coke
can be reduced by coking in Illinois of
Western coal the cost of manufacturing
iron VIII decrease correspoldiagly. 1t
takes one ton of coke to produce one ton
OF iron.
While this will not affect >the price of
iron, which is governed by the law of sup
ply and demand, il will vita.ly affect the
cost of production This would bring to
Chicago some of the largest iron-p o1uc-
ing plants in the country and strike a body
blow at the industry in Pittsburg and vi
cinity.

THEATRES CHANGE HANDS.
An English Syndicate Secures New
York PIayhOuses


NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-The transfer of
an important theatrical property in this
city has practically been accomplished, and
the deal marks the first participation of
English capital in American theatrical af-
fairs.
Walter Burns, representing a syndicate
of English capitalists, arrived here on Sat
urday from London, and has already ar
ranged the details which were necessary
before the Sire Brothers could transfer to
his principals the New York and Criterion
Theatres in Long Acre Square, or what
was formerly known as Hammerstsin' S
Olympia. The syndicate has also secured
a twenty five years lease on the Casino
property at Thirty ninth Street and Broad
way.
George Lederer, who has for several
years been the manager of this theatre,
has been engaged as director by the rev
syndicate and will also supply the attrac-
tons for theatre which the syndicate
is to acquire in London. Ii is said that he
will receive a salary of $4,000 year as
manager of the theatres, and viii also have
an interest in the profits. He has sold to
the syndicate, through Mr.. Burns. his
rights in the ''Rounders, I'm Gay Paree, .
! "A Dangerous Maid'' and other Casino
spectacles, but retains his ownership or
THE Belle of New York" 1t is said that
ii was the success of this extravaganza in
London which excited the interest of Eng
lish capitalists in American amusements
as a field for investment Both. the New
York Theatre and the Casino will adhere
TO their present policy. Charles Frohman
who has a lease on the Criterion. is in no
way affected by the transfer. The sum
paid for the Olympia building is said 10
have been s1,250,0O0, which does not in
clude the Casino lease. ar
