NOTHING EQUALS 1T
For the Cure of catarrh.

A physician now retired from practice,
hut who still keeps abreast of the times,
in speaking Of the advance made in
medicine in the last tenyears says: @One
of the most obstinate and battling dis
eases is the very common trouble, ca
tarrh.
Nasal catarrh is only one Of its many
forms; catarrh Of the throat, catarrh of
the stomach bowels, liver and bladder
are very common but the sufferer usual
" thinks it is something else than ca
tarrh and is treated for the wrong dis
ease.
The best and most successful treat
ment for any form of catarrh is now
admitted to be by internal remedies
through the stomach and the safest and
probably the most efficient is in the
tablet form.sold by druggists as Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets
-catarrh resulting from regular daily use
OF these tablets, which seem to act on
the blood and liver, driving the catarrhal
poison out of the system through the
natural channels.
I once had occasion to analyze these
cocaine nor opiates, but simply a com
bination Of harmless antiseptics like
Eucaiypta1, Guaiacol. blood root, etc.
At any rate / have known of severe
catarrhal headaches which were cured
by Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. and ca
tarrhaI deafness. hay fever, asthma. and
catarrh of the throat and stomach speed
use of the remedy and when it is re-
membered how much more convenient
a tablet is than inhalers, douches, Salves
and powders it is not surprising that
this new preparation should SO rapidly
suppIant all other remedies for catarrh.

FILLING THE PLACES.
Governor Stanley Sends Batch of APP
pointments to the Senate.

The encouragement in last nights
Journal that Henry Allen had resigned
as private secretary to Governor Stan
ley and had been appointed on the state
board of charities was a surprise to
most of the politicians. Mr. Allen viii
succeed Grant HOrnaday on the board
OF charities, Mr.. Hornaday having re-
signed because he could not attend to
his private business and to. the business
of the board and do justice to both. Mr..
Allen resigns as private secretary be-
cause he can not be private secretary
and the editor of a newspaper at one
and the same time and give as much at
tentiOn to the newspaper as he thinks
he should. He thinks he can attend to
the paper and the state board of chari-
ties at the same time and so the COVER
nor put him in the place made vacant
by Grant HOrnaday's resignation. One
man resigns because he can not give
time attend to his business and the 9TH
er takes the job because he thinks he
can.
There is now a lot of guessing as to
who viii succeed Henry Allen as private
secretary The governor refuses to say
who he will appoint but he has probably
some time that Mr.. Allen would re-
sign. Two guesses which have been
made by the politicians are Luther
Burns. the present executiveg clerk. and
John Simmons, al present superintend-
emit of the reforma tory at Hutchinson.
Both are good men and both have
friends VINO are urging the governor To
appoint them

STOLE HIS PRIZE GRAFTON.
Princeton Senior Dismissed From
University IN Disgrace.

Princeton, n. J., Feb. 21.-George w
kehr. Of Harrisburg senior at Prince
was awarded il the Junior oratorica1
contests last june has confessed to the
charge Of plagiarism and has been dis
missed from the university.
Although the prize was awarded to
Kehr on last commencement, it was not
until the Nassau Literary Magazine, ac-
eordIng to a regular custom, had pub
lished his Grafton, entitled An Ideal of
American History" that the fraud was
discovered. The Lafayette Touchstone
called attention to the fact that the
same Grafton had appeared in the Mer-
curry, the literary journal of the Penn
sy1Eania college in Gettysburg, Pa, I'M
der the caption abraham Lincoln and
over the signature of Frank p Heilnan.
Ralph P. SW0ffC-d, editor of the Prince
ton publication. Immediately asked the
Pennsylvania college editor for an expla-
nation The editor Of the Mercury re-
printed the two speeches IN parallel col
utnns together with the following state
ment from Mr. Heiiman:
ION March 9. 1900, I delivered the ora
ton at ColIegevil1e. before the Pennsy1-
vania- intercollegiate union On March
10 I returned to Gettysburg from the
Glee club trip and found awaiting me
a letter from Princeton written by a s97
allInnnus of the Harrisburg high school,
whose classm7te ] had been for nine
months The author asked me to send
a copy of my grafton for a few hints
anu 1Q6dS. as lllG - d1Q1lHuS was pre-
pairing an GRAFTON soon to be delivered. I
sent a copy Of the Grafton to Princeton
on March 20 or 81 I handed the ora
ton to DR. Hines, in competition for
the Gels prize. and have not seen the
manuscript since
When Confronted with these facts
Kehr confessed. The Nassau Literary
Magazine today contains the following
connunica ton from Kehr:
"A great injustice has been done by
me to Mr.. Holman, of Gettysburg, the
university, my class, especially those
who took part in the oratoricaI contest
last June and all who are proud of be-
longing to an restitution where the prin-
ciples of true Christian manhood are
taught I want to frankly confess the
gross plagiarism of which am guilty
and remove any censure that may be
brought upon your magazine, for upon
me alone devclves the blame"
In June the degree of Bachelor of
Arts would have been conferred upon
Kenr. He stood well in his class. had
taken some part in the literary life at
Princeton, and, so far as can be ascer-
tanned. was regarded as a student Of
strict integrity.

Free Employment Agency Bill Has
Narrow Escape in House.

The bill providing for free employ
ment agencies to be maintained in cities
OF the first and second classes under the
supervision and direction Of the state
Ia Dor commissioner came near belnS de-
feated in the house this morning, be-
cause it apparently gave the labor COM
missioner power to remove a city clerk
from his Office entirely if he failed to
fulfill his duties as laid down in this
act. Mr. Landrey. author Of the bill,
had an amendment ready to remove TINS
objection, providing that the city clerk
shall forfeit the office of employment
agent only and rules were waived to
allow this insertion to be made. The
bill then was passed by vote OF ~ 10 j.
Chairman John Francis, of the ways
and means committee, objected to the
ton and had never been in hands of
his committee.
The method of operation is as follows:
1T shall be the duty of the free en-
ployment agent of every city to register,
as directed by the directions OF the COM
missioner of the bureau of labor and IN
duStry, every person desiring to employ
any person and every person desiring
employment; and 1t shall be the strict
legal right of every such person to Sc
register and to enjoy all OIL the advan-
tages of such employment agency free
from any charge or expense whatever
Every person shall be notified of en-
ployment open in the order of his or her
registration for that employment by
