BETTING RATHER LIGHT; ODDS UNEVEN

Shepard money is becoming rather hard TO find
in the Wall Street district. but few bets on the
nayoralty election recorded yesterday. c. NJ.
Minzesheimer bet 81, 500 Low. against SIS put
UP on Shepard by Mr.. CoIgan, and $1,000 on Low
at 10 TO g. the Shepard end of this bet being taken
by Frank Phillips. Mr. Minzesheimer also tried to
place additional $1,000 Low. but could get no
better offer than S. 400 against IT, He has thus Tar
placed $1,000 on Low, 7; J. Mccarthy made Two
bets on Low with J. s. Clark one OF $500 even, on
the general result and OF 500 TO $50 that Low
would carry Kings County. Kerr & Co. announced
two bets OF $1,000 each on Shepard, but as usual,
declined to give the names of the Low takers. It
was rInored that Kerr & Co. had placed all the
money they had TO bet but a Representative OF the
large part OF the fund placed IN their hands for
betting he added but had a little left:
Senator Patrick TrainOr announced yesterday
that he had bet $500 even on Shepard with John
Tordar a builder The Senator said that he was
NOT going to stake his entire fortune, or even as
much as two years salary State Senator, but ne

MONEY FOR c. L. CAMPAIGN.

The appeal for funds with which to pros
ecute more vigorously the campaign against the
rule Of Tammany Hall, which issued by the
finance committee OF the Citizens Union has met
a ready response, although the amount asked for
100000 is far from being in sight as yet.
E R. L Gould, the treasurer Of the union has
already received q number Of letters containing
from IS TO $50 each all of which he is certain
from the tone OF the letters, came from people in

PARKER NOMINATION A MISTAKE
MR.. MOSS THINKS THERE IS DOUBT AS TO
HIS ELIGIBILITY FOR ALDERMAN


Frank Moss. OF the Society for the Prevention Of
Crime said yesterday that he thought the fusion
lists in the XLIIId AIdermanic District had made a
mistake nominating their candidate for alder
man Cornelius B. Parker. who formerly was known
as the Policy King Public attention called
TO Parker in testimony before the Lexow Commit
tee and later the Society for the Prevention OF
Crime secured Parkers indictment three counts.
on the trial of Parker in 1886 the jury failed TO
agree He was TO have been tried again in the
same year. but he pleaded guilty and paid fine OF
$500, at the same time promising that he never
would engage in the policy business again
Parker has been living in Rosedale-ave-, West
Chester, and his neighbors say that he has lived
an irreproachable life, attending one OF the
churches and taking active part IN social organi
zatfons. He has declared that he has abandoned
policy entirely Mr. Moss said yesterday that after
Parker pleaded guilty. the Society for the Proven
tou OF Crime investigated OF the policy shops
of which he had the hacker. and agents OF
the society thought he still had some interest IN
these shops although there was no proof OF his
connection with the places
''Eeven II Parker has reformed. Mr.. Moss said
Yesterday he calls attention to his former bust-
ness by running for public office His candidacy
IS a mistake, and one would almost suppose II was
a Tammany trick to have him placed on the ticket
l am not that question may not be raised
as TO the eligibility of Parker as a candidate for
public office in view or the ract tnar he PLEADED

SOMETHING OF A JOKE ON PRO-
TEGTION.

SOMETHING OF A JOKE ON PRO-
TECTION.
The advantages of free trade be-
tween the countries of Europe are
recognized by M. Paul Lervy-Beau-
lieu, the economist, in call for an
economical alliance on the CONT
nent. A humorous phase of the
situation is that the reason for his
appeal is the pressure of American
competition by industries which still
clamor for government aid and pro-
lection. NJ. Leroy-Beaulieu argues
that to meet this competition the
nations of Europe must lay aside
every impeachment to trade. The in
terstate taxes he regards as the most
serious of these.
While European nations are appre-
hensive of the development of Ameri-
can commerce, even in the face of
their tariff determinations against it,
manufa cturers in America still cry out
about their inability to compete with
the ''pauper labor" of Europe. If
their sense of humor is at all acute,
they must smile at the absurdity of
the situation. On one side of the At
lantic the nations of Europe are pro-
tscting themselves against the pro-
duct of expensive American labor and
an European economist is calling on
the powers to enter into an industrial
alliance against the United States.
On the other side, these much feared
industries refer to themselves plain
lively as Infant" struggling con-
Germs. On this basis they appeal to
the public purse for aid. The people
then pass laws compelling themselves
to pay higher prices for products I'M
til concern like the Carnegie Steel
company with capital stock of $25,
900, 900 can make $41 100000 profit
in year. This thing would be anus
ing to the general public if the cost of
the joke were not so great.
The proposals of NJ. Leroy-Beaulieu,
the Kansas City Star assumes, will
probably come to nothing for the
present. Jealousies between the pow
ers are too strong and the strength of
favored classes too great. Neverthe-
less he has served the good purpose of
again calling the attention of Ameri-
cans to the obsolete system of taxa
ton under which they live. OF course,
no tariff legislation will be attempted
during the present short session of
congress. At the next session, how
ever, public opinion will have the OPP
portunity to make itself felt so that
even the republican senate and house
will see the necessity of great reduc-
tions in the present schedules.

APPETITES
Created and Maintained
by vinol.
THAT THE FOOD is DIGEST
ED IS ASL0 EQUALLY
NECESSARY.
We Recommend VinOl as an
Appetite Creator.
WE GUARANTEE THAT VINOL
WILL AID DIGESTION.

Vinol is the greatest aid to digestion
that we have ever known
1t is because Vinol acts so benefcially
upon the stomach that it accomplishes
so much good.
Vinol contains the active curative
principles that are found in cod-liver
oil, without any oil or grease.
These medicinal elements act so
favorably upon the stomach, that this
organ obtains for itself the elements
necessary for creating new flesh, muscle
tissue and for making rich red blood.
When the stomach acts easily and
naturally, a desire is created for good
simple food and good appetite is the
sure result.
With cod-liver oil as formerly taken
the medicinal elements which it con-
tanned were too often unable to
counterfeit the harm that was done by
the obnoxious grease that enveloped
them.
Now that in Vinol we have those
same elements separated from the vile
tasting fat, we have a tonic and re-
builder that is simply marvellous in its
action.
The following is letter that will ex-
plain itself:
.sThis is to certify that 1 have used
six bottles of VinOl, and have found it
of great value as an appetizer and
tonic in general debility. / have re-
ceived so much benefit from its use
that gladly furnish this testimonial
in order that others may be induced to
give it trial and prove to themselves
its recuperative powers. MRS. ELIz-
ABETH FEENEY, Waterbury, Conn.
We want every one in this place to
know more about our Vinol, how it
cures and what it cures. Certainly
the greatest tonic and rebuiIder we
have ever sold.
We, therefore, cordially invite any
one interested to call upon us; and
we want all to bear in mind that we
will gladly refund to any one who is
not satisfied with the action of Vinol
every cent they pay for it.

TILE PAPER TRUST.

The Menominee & Marinette Paper
company has just held its annual
meeting of stockholders at Menomi-
nee, Mich. 1t declares dividend of
16 per cent, and then the stockholders
decided to build big sulphide mill at
cost of $16. 900. 1t would appear,
therefore, that at the present price of
print paper there is tolerable fair
percentage of profits to be realized.
The Paper World says that Lawson,
of the Chicago News and Record. has
been getting his paper at $3.50 per
hundred, until now his contract is ex-
piring and he is renewing it some
where about 2 cents. The tactics of
the paper trust are to placate the met
ropolitan sheets by giving them in
side figures and then make an enor-
nous profit out o: the outside and
smaller consumers. This is where
16 per cent dividends come in. 1t is
a singular fact that none of the met
ropolitan papers has had anything to
saw about the exactions of the trust.
They seem like Lincoln's jurymen-
all of them have had piece of pork.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the eustachian tube. When
this tube gets infiamed you have a
runbling sound or imperfect hearing.
and when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the infam-
nation can be taken out and this tube
restored to it's normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
