Il IL a Good Thing.

Everyone should be glad to say good
word for an article that deserves it, which
accounts for the universal endorsement of
the Sterling Remedy Co., makers of the
famous Cascarets. Within five years the
sale of Cascarets has grown from single
box until last year it reached the enormous
sale Of over 100000 boxes. This is a mat
ter of pride to newspaper men because Cas-.
!carets has been very largely and persistent
y advertised in newspapers for number of
years, and it shows that advertising of the
right kind will certainly bring success. All
druggists report an enormous demand for
Cascarets that is steadily increasing. They
are put up in convenient form and the prices
are lOc., 25c., and Soc box. A Soc box is
enough for one months treatment. Anyone
who has the slightest liver or bowel trouble
is urged to give them trial.

THE GUARDIANsHIPs SETTLED.
The Cases of the COrcoran Children
Finally Adjusted.

Justice Bradley yesterday settled the
guardianship of the children of the late

can be adjusted at this time. The ques-
tiou of the guardianship was brought W

ME NJ. Wise Previous TO the filing of this
petition Robert Corcoran and Margaret
Corcoran had complained of MIS-. WISE

merly their guardian. This left but one
of the children, William Corcoran, VINO

ter of the removal Of Mrs. Wise as the
guardian for himself and his brothers and
sister.
When the matter came up for considera-
ton, Justice Bradley called William Cor
coran. who is a bright boy of about six
teen years of age. and questioned him as
to what his wishes are in the matter Will
liam made an excellent witness and stated
that he had no fault to find with the care
Mrs. Wise was taking either OF him or
of his part of his fathers estate. In fact,
he stated that the whole trouble Is the
outgrowth of jealousy existing between
his fathers and mothers relatiVes. IN
addition to this William stated that his
brother Robert, who is now in Pmladel-
phia. is dissatisfied with Mrs. Wise as
his guardian and his influence mas caused
the Younger children to rebel against her
management of the estate
RAYMOND was next called ana qucs-
toned as to what he desired. He, too, Is
bright little chap, and was dressed IN a

caIiy that he desired Mrs. Wise TO be re-
tanned as his guardian. The girl, Mar

dren. Justice Bradley said he saw no rCa.-
son for the removal OF Mrs. Wise, and
continued her as the guardian of Ray
mond and William CorcCran. As Mar
saret Corcorar is fourteen years old. and
capable Of choosing a guardian, he named
Mrs McGec. whom she had selected as
her guardian. No action was taken by

tractor to furnish money to cover the

thereupon sentenced to dismissal from

sentence, but it cannot be carried into ef-
feet without an order from the President.
Ry a provision made by the court, the
sentence was not to become effective
until Lieutenant Town;ey returned to the
United States. He is now in this coun-
try, and it is expected that the President
will take action shortly.
Lieutenant Townley's friends are max
ing every effort to save him from dis
of his offence that he believed he was do

from disgrace an army officer whom he
knew. and that he did not attempt to
conceal his part in the transaction while

that Lieutenant Townley was entirely

have received no benefit, pecuniary or

HAVANA DRY DOCK BOUGHT.
Spain Has Had No Use for 1t Since

The Navy Department has effected the
purchase from the Spanish Government
of the floating steel dry dock at Havana,
which was turned back to Spain with
o.ner movable property after the occu-
patton of Cuba by the United States
forces. Spain offered to sell the dock TO
the United States for $4,000, but the Of
fer was declined because the dock was
badly in need Of repairs that would cost
great deal of money.
Congress at its last session appropriated
s2I5.O01 to cover the purchase of the dock
and cost Of repairs. Last March naval
commission was sent TO Havana to exam
inc the dock and it reported that the re-
pairs would cost as much again as the
price asked by Spain.
Recently. however, the dock has beer
put in fairly good condition under the a.
rection of Captain Peral. OF the Spanish
navy. sent TO Havana for that purpose
and II Is said at the Navy Department
that the cost of making repairs will be
comparatively small. The purchase price
was Sls5 600, leaving $4,000 of the appro-
prlation with which TO do the repair work
The dock may be towed TO Manila
where there are no facilities FOR docking
