of them lived on the extreme edge of

ONLY A FLAG OF TRUCE.

The much talked Of s5,Oo6S lander suit of
William M. Clark against Mrs. Della
Hicks came to an untimely and unexpeet-
ed end in the Circuit Court yesterday.
Both plaintiff and defendant were mem
bers of American Flag Council, of Bay
onne, No. 1O9, Daughters of liberty, the
former being the financial secretary OF
the organization. The suit had its out
come in the alleged charge of Mrs. Hicks
that Mr.. Clark and Mrs. Frederick Cure,
another member of the Council, had
fixed up the books" of the organiza-
ton.
When the case was called yesterday
Lawyer w. w. Anderson was not ready
to try it and Judge Nevius when granting
a motion of the defendants counsel, ex-
Judge Thomas F. Noonan, for a non-suit,
remarked factiously that the only flag
he saw in the case was the white one of
truce.

FEARS SMALLPOX OUTBREAK
DR.. Converse Says Only
Vaccination Can Pre-
vent an Epidemic
Next Winter.

AT yesterday afternoons meeting of the
County Board of Health County Physic-
ian Converse spoke on the necessity -.
vaccination as the only preventive of d
most serious outbreak of smallpox next
winter He said that while the present
outbreak was practically under control
every indication pointed to the reap
pearance of smallpox in more virulent
form with the advent of cold weather,
and urged that physicians endeavor to
induce their patients to be enoculated be-
fore the period of danger arrived
Clerk G. ]. Rooney presented statistics
as to the recent outbreak of the disease
in this county which gave additional
proof of the efficiency of the treatment
prescribed by DIR. Converse and DIR. Geo.
w. King at the Snake Hill pest house.
They showed that of the 60 patients cared
for by this treatment at the pesthouse,
only three, of $40 per cent. had died,
while of the thirteen smallpox victims
cared for at their own homes, three or
Is per cent. had died.
The carelessness of physicians in the
matter of making correct returns of
births and deaths was demonstrated by
the large number of applications received
LOT cHaHSeS OIL record. LII many cases the
names were spelled incorrectly and com
plications in collecting insurance and
proving interest in estates resulted. Many
applications to have berths recorded,
where the attending physician had neg
lected the matter, were also received.
Complaints were received that DR.. Dali
las of Bayonne, and DR.. NJ. o. F. Dolphin
of Kearny, had neglected to report certain
berths and the matter was referred to
the counsel of the board.
An application was received for the
change of the death record of man
named Lippinet, who committed suicide
at Harrison on December TO- 1900. The
applicant stated that the proper name of
the deceased was Coppinet and asked
that the cause of death be changed on
account of the disgrace to relatives of the
dead man in France. The correction of
the name was ordered but the board re-
fused to change the record as to the
cause of death.

To AID JACKSONvl VILE.

Mayor Hoos has issued the following ap-
peal to the people of Jersey City in behalf
of the Jacksonville sufferers
'"To the people of Jersey City
From the city of Jacksonville, Florida,
comes cry of distress. A disastrous fire
has swept over theAentire city and 10000
persons are homeless and practically
without food, clothing or shelter
Recently calls of this nature have been
frequent and when the city of Galveston
was almost blotted out and the cry for help
was heard in Jersey City her noble and
tender hearted citizens. n,en, women and
children responded most ,berally. The
appeal sent from the city of Jacksonville
has no doubt excited the sympathy of our
citizens and l am confident it will find
many only too willing to respond. 1 am
sure Jersey City will maintain the envia-
bic reputation she has gained as a NUM-
cipality of earnest charitable citizens.
LAS Mayor of the city I again call upon
our citizens, corporations, organizations
and school children who have done so
much of this grand work, of charity in
the past to now lend aid to the homeless
and grief stricken men, women and
children of the once beautiful City of
Jacksonville.

lieye the system by secreting large
quantities of mucuos, the discharge
sometimes closing up the nostrils,
dropping into the throat, caucing deaf
ness by closing the Eustachian tubes,
and after a time causing catawh of
stomach or serious throat and lung
troubles.
A remedy to really cure catarrh
must be an internal remedy which will
cleanse the blood from catarrhal pois-
on and remove the fever and comics
ton from the mucuos membrane.
The best and most modern rene
dies for this purpose are antiseptics
scientifically known as Eucalyptol,
Guaiacol, Sanguinaria and Hydrastin,
and while each of these have been
successfully used separately, yet it
has been difficult to get them all com
bined in one palatable, convenient and
efficient form.
The manufacturers Of the new ca
tarrh cure, Stuart's Catarrh Tablets,
have succeeded admirably in accom-
pishing this result. They are large,
pleasant tasting lozenges, to be dis
solved in the mouth, thus reaching
every part of the mucuos membrane
of the throat and finally the stomach
Unlike many catarrh remedies,
Stuaits Catarrh Tablets contain no
cocaine, opiate or any injurious drug
whatever and are equally beneficial
for little children and adults.
Mr.. c. r. Rembrandt, Of Rochester
n Y. says: Il know of few people
who have suffered as much as from
catarrh of the head, throat and
stomach. i used sprays, inhalers and
powders for months at time with
only slight relief, and had no hope
of cure. had not the means to make
a change Of climate, which seemed
my only chance of cure.
Last spring | read an account OF
some remarkable cures made by
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets and prompt
ly bought a nifty cent box from my
druggist and obtained such positive
benefit from that one package that
continued to use them daily until
now consider myself entirely free
from the disgusting annoyance of ca
tarrh; my head is clear, my digestion
all I could ask and my hearing, which
had begun to fail as a result OF the
catarrh, has greatly improved until
l feel can hear as well as ever. They
are household necessity in my
family.
stuarrs Catarch Tablets are sold
by druggists at so cents for dom-
plete treatment and for convenience,
safety and prompt results they are
undoubtedly the long looked for ca
tarrh cure.
