in departmental circles has been
created by the alleged elopement last
Monday of Mrs. Clara Reidell,
daughter of the late Congressman
Gibson Atherton, of Newark, O., and
William Moore, of Kensington, a

widow OF a wealthy German and has
two children who have been living on
a farm in Virginia. Moore has wife
and five children. Last Saturday Mrs.
Reidell is reported to have sold her
property in Virginia, evidently with
the purpose of raising funds for the
escape. There is no clue to the
whereabouts OF the couple. Mrs,
Moore received a letter from her hus-
band the day he left, saying that he
was going away from her never to re
turn, adding thai he would send her
$iOO per month as long as he lived

"Moonnilk." 4"

e. S. Balch has recently described a
curious substance variously known as
mineral tallow, mineral putty, and
mouldmilch or moonmilk, which oc-
ours in a few rare instances on the
walls of limestone caves. The cave
described by Mr.. Balch is that known
as "Tallow Cave" situated on Dorset
Mountain, southwest from North Dor.
set. VT. The rock which at the en-,
trance is coarse, white, hard marble,
becomes, at distance Of fourteen or
fifteen feet inside, a soft, sticky. com.
pact, whitish substance. not unlike
putty in consistency, which can be cut
out in Jumps with q penknife. There
weSe no stalactites or stalagmiteS in
the cave. Subsequent analysis of the
"tallow" showed it to be carbonate Of
lime. There are three caves in Europe
where a similar substance is found. 1t
received its name Of moudmilch from
the Swiss peasants near Mount Pila'

When cheese has been made it is

This, in a fast age like ours, seems to

mensions Of the planet Saturn at the
United States Naval Observatory Of
Washington, with the following re-
suits: The diameters of the ball of
the planet are 74,944 miles (equatoriaD
and 67,352 miles polar). The mean
density resulting is 6S.100 of that of
water The external diameter of the
outer ring is 1881 115 miles and its
width is 11.S46 miles. The external
diameter of the inner ring IS 145, 5,S25
miles, and it's width is 17,181 miles.
The width Of the dusky or crepe
ring is II ,533 miles. The space between
the interior edge of the crepe ring and
the ball is thus 6730 miles. The di-
ameter of the largest satellite is POOP
miles-somewha less than that of our
moon.

FIGHTING
For Places In the Big
Show.
Empty Honors the Bone
OF Contention.

London. Dec. 5.-The Court of
Claims, which is dealing with the
rights and privileges relating to the
coronation of King Edward, sat yes
terday in solemn state IN the council
chamber of Whitehall to adjudicate
between the mobiles who are wrangling
for ancient but generally empty ana
often ludicrous honors. Sixty cases
came up, the most prominent being
the fight between the Duke of At
holl. the Earl of Ancaster, the Mar
uuis of Cholmondely, and Earl Car
rington for the Lord Great Chamber
lainship. This was too weighty for
the court which passed 1t on to the
House Of Lords.
Several other cases were referred to
q committee, but the Earl of Enroll will
be permitted to walk in the coronation
procession as Lord High Constable of
Scotland and carry a silver baton,
tipped with gold. bearing his own
arms at one end and the Kings at
the other.
The claim Tor representation as chief
larderer was dismissed by the state
ment that there will be no coronation
banquet, and that, hence, there will
be no larderer.
Miss Beatrice Fellows, who desired
to perform the office of herb-strewer,
and Sir Harry Burrard, who claimed
the right to carry the Kings bow and
arrows were informed that they
would not be wanted.
The bishops of Durham and Bath
it was decided, have the right to sup
port the King while he is ON the
throne-that is to say, they will stand
with their hands on the back of the
chair.

FEW PEOPLE REALIZE
The Danger In That Common
Disease, Catarrh.

Because catarrhal diseases are so
common and because catarrh is not
rapidly fatal,people too often overlook
and neglect it until some incurable
ailment develops as result of the
neglect.
The inflamed condition of the men,
brane of the nose and throat makes
a fertile soil for the germs of Pneu-
monia and Consumption, in fact, ca
tarrhal pneumonia and catarrhal con-
sumption are the most common forms
of these dreaded diseases which an
nually cause more than one-Quarter
of the deaths in this country
Remedies for catarrh are almost as
numerous as catarrh sufferers but
very few have any actual merit as a
cure, the only good derived being
simply a temporary relief.
There is, however, very effective
remedy recently discovered which is
rapidly becoming famous for its great
value in relieving and permanently
curing all forms Of catarrhal diseases,
whether located in the head, throat,
lungs or stomach.
This new catarrh cure is principally
composed Of gum derived from the
Eucalyptus tree, and this gum possess
ses extraordinary healing and anti
septic properties. 1t is taken inter-
nally in the form of a lozenge or tab
let, pleasant to the taste and so harm
less that little children take them
with safety and benefit.
Eucalyptus oil and the bark are
sometimes used but are not so con-
venient nor so palatable as the gum.
Undoubtedly the best quality is
found in Stuart's Catarrh Tablets,
which may be found in any drug store
and any catarrh sufferer who has
tried douches, inhalers and liquid
medicines, VIII be surprised at the
rapid improvement after a few days
use of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets which
are composed of the gum of the
Eucalyptus tree. combined with other
antiseptics which destroy the germs
of catarrh in the blood and expel the
catarrhal poison from the system.
Dr. Ramsdell in speaking of Ca
tarrh and its cures, says: After many
experiments l have given up the idea
of curing catarrh by the use of in
halers, washes, salves or liquid medi-
cines. | have always had the best
results from Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
the red gum and other valuable anti
septics contained in these tablets
make them, in my opinion, far super
ior to any of the numerous catarrh
remedies so extensively advertised.
The fact that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
are sold in drug stores, under protec-
ton of trademark, should not pre-
judice conscientious physicians against
them because their undoubted merit
and harmless character make them a
remedy which every catalrh sufferer
may use with perfect safety and the
prospect of a permanent cure.
For colds In the head, for coughs,
catarrhal deafness and catarrh of the
stomach and liver, people who have
tried them say that Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets are household necessity.

to be the Plan.
Result Of Recent Street
Railway Deal.
Cantonians Regard Everett.Moore
People as the Purchasers.

1t has been announced from Canton
that there is no longer any doubt that
the Everett Moore syndicate is the real
purchaser of the Canton & Massillon
lines.
And the News-Democrat even as
serts that through trains will be run
from Massillon into Cleveland, in di-
rect competition with the steam road.
1t published the following story We'd
nesday:
1.-THE result Of the sale Of the Canton
& Massillon lines and the Inter-urban
system to the Northern Ohio Traction
Company will be fast through trolley
trains from Massinon into Cleveland
as soon as Canton can be connected
with the Akron system
'"These trains will make only two
or three stops at regular stations In
each city. They will run on sched-
ule fourth faster than any other sys-
tenn in the state. They will be entire
ly separate from the local inter-urban
service and will compete directly with
the railroads.
This Is the first announcement of
the daring plan of tie company to
make practical test Of direct competi-
ton with the steam railroads on long
distances. Cleveland people, very close
to the new owners of the local systems,
declare the plans are further along
than anyone imagines.
1T was admitted today by the best
authority that the Northern Ohio Trac-
tion Company is the purchaser of the
local systems including the city lines
in Canton, the Inter-urban division, the
Massillon lines and the Navarro ex.
tension. AS stated by the News-Dem'
ocrat yesterday the sale was made
through Philadelphia brokers acting
for the company.
'In addition to this the Canton and
Massillon local traffic will be brought
to the highest standard. The city
lines will be extended and all possible
territory that Is available or promises
to be profitable will be taken up and
occupied.
Word was received Tuesday Of some
delay in closing the sale at Philadel
phia. Parties from Canton who went
east will not return until Thursday
The papers will be signed and the stocl
transferred Wednesday. Recorder
Dougherty stated before he went cas-
that the Northern Ohio Company was
making the purchase.
"All the stockholders have surren
dered their holdings willingly. Th'
price secured was a large one. Th'
exact figures cannot be ascertained.
at is very good story" said Vic'
, President Will Christy, of the N. O
T. Co., Thursday. "and / hope that l
will Rme true. Success to such plal
would doubtless result to the good o
Canton Massillon and Akron"
Mr.. Chrlsty has not yet admitted tha
the Everett Moore syndicate is the pur
chaser of the Canton & Massillon prop
erty and also does not go much out o
his way to deny the stories.
From the fact that the Everett Moor
syndicate began negotiations a yea
ago for the purchase Of the property
it is not easy to believe that 1t wa
side.tracked, after all the efforts mad
to acquire the property.
