POINTS OF EXCELLENCE,
~ Few Reasons Which are Rapidly
Making New CItarri: Cure Famous

Stuarts Catarra Tablets, the new Ca
tarrh cure, has the following advantages
over other catarrh remedies:
F'irst-TheSe tablets contain no cocaine,
morphine or any other injurious drug and
are as safe and beneficial for children as
for adults this is an important point
when it is recalled that many catarrl
remedies do contain these very objec-
tional ingredients.
Next-Being in tablet form this remedy
does not deteriorate with age, or an ex-
posllre TO the air as liquid prepare lions
Invariably do.
Next-The tablet form not only pre-
serves the medicinal properties, but it is
so far more convenient to carry and to
use at any time that it is only a ques
ton Of time when the tablet will entire
" supersede liquid medicines as it has
ALREADY done in the medical department
of the United States army.
Next-No secret is made of the com

around it.
JUDGE WADDTLiD SPEAKS
General Allan's aliuston to Norfolk as
a city Of crime and to the local courts
called forth a statement from Judge Wad
viii and m explanation from General
Allan, which are part of this report.
General Allan's remarks made many here
very indignant.
1t was at the conclusion of General AL
ian's closing speech for the Government
and before the case WIS given to the jury
that Judge Waddill said from the bench:
Il think it proper that the court should
a this moment, as the United States At
torney concludes his argument, make a
statement lest his remarks in reference
TO trial OF this case in the local courts
might be misunderstood.
The fact that not having in this court
jury from the city Of Norfolk, but from
the Eastern Judicial District of Virginia.
is q matter upon which comment might be
made. as it was by attorneys on both
sides Of the case. but there is nothing be-
fore this court to Indicate that Norfolk
is particularly wicked city, or that equal
or exact Justice would not be meted out
in the local courts in this case, and to
all yiolators Of the law; and so far as the
courts OF the city are concerned. certainly
no such imputation can be made, for over
each Of the city courts judges of learn
ing, ability and the HlSIeSL ClldldClet pre-
side. and in its criminal court is an able
and accomplished States prosecuting Off
fcer.
II know, Of course, that the District At
torney meant no reflection upon the courts
of the city, or personally to speak as TO
its Government: but what he has said in
the heat of argument might be misunder-
stood and place him and the court in an
improper light
GEN. ALLAN SURPRISED.
General Allan then arose and said: 81
confess am a little surprised that any
one in the courtroom, especially the court
itself, should have deemed it oI"n TO critt-
cism that l referred as / did to recent
1,u5lication. the record of which flashed
upon my mind on the instant Of speaking,
and I am sure that neither the members
of the bar, judges Of the courts, or citi-
zens of Norfolk, who heard me, would
ever impute to me an intention to wound
their feelings, impugn their motives, or
criticise their actions.
AT 2.15 o'clock the court took a recess
the case first having been given to the
jury.
