SIGNED AWAY HIS RIGHTS.
why Henry Bec1's Suit Against the
p, r., r. Failed.

The second trial of a suit of Henry
Beck against the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, which was tried in the Su-
preme Court yesterday, ended in non
suit. Beck was in the employ of the
company as a freight brakeman. On Sep
tember u, 1897, he was thrown from the
top of car while rounding a curve in
the freight yard and received several in
iuries. among them a broken leg. He
sued the company for $1,000 and got a
verdict for 5000. An appeal was taken
on the ground that Beck was member
of the company's relief association. and
as such had signed a paper releasing the
company from any claims for damages.
The verdict was set aside by the Court
of Errors.
This new suit was based on the allega-
ton that when Beck signed the paper he
had not read it and did not know that
1t was a release. Justice Lippincott
granted non-suit on Counsellor Vre-
denburg's motion. Lawyer William H.
Speer appeared for the plaintiff.

TOO MUCH MoTHER-IN-LAW.
The Cause of the Marital Woes Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Ferris.

Vice Chancellor Emery yesterday had
a divorce case which appears to have
been caused by too much mother-in-law.
William H. Ferris filed a petition against
his wife, Jessie t., for divorce, on the
ground of desertion. The petition was
the usual formal document, and set forth
that his wife left him and had continued
her wilful desertion for the statutory per-
iod of two years. The wife, through her
counsel, Robert Carey, filed an answer
denying that she left her husband, and
added a cross petition in which she de-
clares her husband deserted her and
asked for a divorce on that account. Ac-
cording to the wife's petition the couple
were married by the Rev. Cornelius Brett
in this city on October 26. 1896, and they
have one child, Raymond NJ, now two
years old. They lived happily together as
all parties in divorce cases do for a GER
tain time, until 1897, when her husband be-
gan to show her disrespect and treat her
with contempt His mother lived with
them and the wife declares that he
thought more of his mother than he did
of her.
After living in Jersey City awhile the
couple moved to Newark, then in March,
wife joined the husband, but after
weeks stay Ferris told her to go back to
Newark to his mothers house. When she
arrived there the mother-in-law told her
that she was going to New York for
Nsw weeks, and she (the daughter) had
better go to her parents in Jersey City
Young Mrs. Ferris did so, and has been
there ever since.
At the opening of the case today Mr.
Ferris was not present, nor was he rep
resented by counsel. Mr.. Carey said that
Mr.. Weinburg, Ferris's counsel, had told
him that they could not substantiate their
case and would therefore abandon it.
Mr.. Carey then called several witnesses
to prove his case. The testimony all went
to show that 'Ferris's mother was the
cause Of the trouble between the couple.
Several letters written by Ferris to his
wife were introduced In one of them oc-
Cured this
'If you want me to have any love for
you, you must have love for my mother in
return.
The Chancellor said he would hear
Mr.. Carey's argument on June 6.

SLOT MACHINES MUST co.
Sheriff Ruempler Determined to
Suppress This Form OF Gambling. ,

Sheriff Ruempler has made up his mind
that the nickel-in-th the-slot machines in
the saloons throughout the county must
go. He gave warning to the saloon keep
ers several days ago. but as no attention
was paid to it he inaugurated a raid yes
terday to convince the law breakers that
he meant business. Deputy Sheriffs
Hague and Stanton were sent to North
Hudson to gather in all the machines they
could find. They made their first seizure
at Henry Lohmann's saloon in Bergen
line avenue Union Hill.
The news of the raid spread like wild
fire and when the officers visited other
saloons there were no machines in sight.
They had all been put away. The Off
GERS captured a machine in Charles
Sienesch's saloon in West New York.
These two and a machine seized in Her.
man Ecker's saloon at No. 256 East
Twenty-second street, Bayonne, are in
the Sheriff's office. The Sheriff declares
that the use of slot machines will not be
tolerated and that wherever one of them
is found in operation it will be compi-
Gated.

HOOD VS.. HOOD
C. I. Hood g. Co., Victorious in I'm
nortant Cases.

pOEEts1S 0t1SoSs
Important suits have just been decided
in the U. S. Circuit Courts involving the
right to the word Hood or Hoods. Messrs.
c. l. Hood & Co., of Lowell, Mass, pro-
prietors of Hoods Sarsaparilla, pegan suit
for infringement against DR.. ]. c. Hood of
Louisville KY, who was putting up what
he called "Dr. Hoods Sarsaparilla." After
a hearing in the U. S. Circuit Court at
Louisville, Judge Evans on April II grant
ed a temporary injunction in favor of G. l.
Hood &. Co. and restraining ]. c. Hood
from using the word Hood in any way or
form on any preparation of sarsaparilla.
Messrs. C. I. Hood & Co. also began
suit against retail druggist in Indian
apolis, Louis H. Renkert, who was sell
ing Dr. ]. C. Hoods Sarsaparilla. DR..
j. c. Hood employed counsel and made
a defence, but Judge Baker of the U. S.
Circuit Court granted an injunction
which on April % became perpetual.
These two DEGREES establish the exclu
sive right of c. T. Hood & Co. to the
word Hoods" and decide in effect that
no other person can put up Hoods
Sarsaparilla even if his name is Hood,
nor can any retail druggist sell or offer
for sale any sarsaparilla bearing the
name Hood or Hoods other than that
prepared by C. I. Hood 8. Co.
These decisions will be gratifying to
every fair minded person. No manufac-
turer should object to fair competition,
but when an attempt is made to steal or
infringe upon a business which has been
established by great skill, labor and ex-
penditure, justice cannot be dealt out too
quickly Nor should substitution" be
allowed, when standard article is called
for. Therefore, when you go to buy
Hoods Sarsaparilla you should be sure to
get 'tonly Hoods"

WASHINGTON Nov. 27.-The House
Committee on Military Affairs today
met for the purpose of considering the
new army bill. The business was most
~ of a preliminary character, the dis
cussion being quite general on army
affairs. The Republican members Of
the committee are apparently in favor
of giving the President such an army
as he requires.
The draft of the bill prepared by
Chairman Hull will be the basis of the
measure which the committee will con-
slider. This bill provides for an army
of the maximum strength of 100000 men
with a minimum of $4,000, and general
officers at the rate of one brigader gem
eral for each 1000 men, with major gem
erals in proportion.
Chairman Hull stated there will be
but one bill prepared and if any staff
changes are contemplated they will be
| incorporated in that measure.
The members of the committee prob
ably will confer with Secretary Root in
a day or two. This afternoon they went
over the bill which has been drawn as
the War Department bill, drawn on
lines suggested and approved by Secre-
tary Root. The War Department bill
provides for a maximum of $4,000 men
and a minimum of $4,000, with thirty re-
giments of infantry fifteen regiments Of
cavalry and a gradual increase OF the
there will be $4,000 men, The artillery
is not to be organized into regiments,
but as batteries and organizations of
heavy and field artillery.
With the maximum army there is to
be $50 men to each infantry company,
making 1880 men to regiment. The
maximum of cavalry troops is to be
100 men. There is no provision for
lieutenant general in the War Depart
ment bill but under the present law
the senior major general commanding
would have the rank of lieutenant gem
eral. The War Department bill does not
give the same increase of major gen.
erals and brigadier generals as the Hull
bill.
The detailed staff provisions are an
important feature of the measure. 1t
is provided that hereafter vacancies in
the staff, excepting the medical corps
pay corps and engineers, shall be filled
by details from the line such detailed
officers being subject to line duty at
any time. This is the same as the Hull
bill of the last Congress and is earnest
ly favored by Secretary Root. The War
Department bill provides that the pro-
motions shall be made from the regular
army according to the present rank
down to and including the rank of cap
tain. The officers of the present Volun-
teer army can become officers in the re-
gular army but in the grades of first
and second lieutenants only. the va
cancies in the caDtains' rank being filled
from the first lieutenants of the present
regular establishment. The relative
rank of the volunteer officers entering
the regular establishment to be deter
mined by seniority.

Goodbye Papa. +"

There were few dry eyes in the
court room when the commission re-
turned their verdict OF insanity"
and the unfortunate man seemed to
realize the gravity OF his situation
as the heartbroken wife babe him
farewell. As the officers started to
lead him from the room his little
daughter came TO him and reaching
up put her chubby arms around his
neck. Between her convulsive sobs
came the pathetic words, goodbye,
papa, l guess Ill never see you
anymore.
The mental breakdown which set
tied as a pail over this once happy
family, came after years of concen-
trated nervous strain and overwork
had sapped the brain and nerves of
their vitality. How different might
have been the ending had that fond
father known what Mr.. George III.
Howard, OF Marshall, Ills, knows
today. Mr.. Howard says:
1.-THE first trouble L noticed was
inability to sleep followed by general
weakness, which continued until l
had to be taken to and from my
store ia a carriage. Finally 1 had to
give up and for five months was con-
lined TO the house with an attendant
night and day. For seventeen days
and nights | never closed my eyes in
sleep. i was taken to private asy-
lum but in a few days they brought
me back again to die. A friend
brought me a bottle of DR.. Miles
Nervine and persuaded me to try it.
After taking one-half the contents
began TO get some sleep, and when I
had used three bottles 1 was able to
return to my store. Had I taken
the nervine in the first place L would
have been spared months of agoniz-
Ing torture and an expense Of nearly
$1,000"
