The DREADED VARICOCELE
A Diseased Condition
that drains the vital
powers of man. It's
work is treaCherous
and breaks down
the strongest Consti-
tutiOnS.

Varicocele is caused by
strain, injury, bicycle riding,
abuse, excess and humps.
The veins gradually become
swollen. The diseased con-
dition causes relaxation, then
a dragging sensation and dull
ache is noticed. The vital
powers begin to fail and the
strength and pleasure of life
is destroyed.

herself to some Episcopal parish out OF

used to it, where she could do Independent
missionary work. When asked Why she
did not remain at the headquarters OF her
order she said that she desired to extend
her field of operations and though she
could live in luxury at the headquarters
she preferred to go where her efforts
would bear the most fruit. On Wednes-

saying that she was going to seek
parish where she could do missionary
work. Several hours later an expressman,
whom Miss Jackson did not know, called

BURNT MATCHES
Chief Piece of ClrcumstantiaI J
Proof Against Sneak
Thief.

The fact that burned match of a
peculiar brand found on the floor Of a
room which had been broken into cor
responded with other in the suspected
thief's pocket when he was arrested. had
much to do with the connection of George
b. Orange alias Baxter, a colored man,
III the Court of Special Sessions yester-
day afternoon. The prisoner set up such
a vigorous and able defence while acting
as his own counsel, that this and every
other point We're user to their fullest
advantage by Grand Jury Clerk James F.
Clark. who ably conducted the States
case.
Orange, or Baxter, has a criminal re-
cord, which fact was brought out at the
trial. He was convicted in Pennsyl-
vania court Of burglary and when re-
moved from the Penitentiary to the
State hospi tai at Norristown, while he
was lex, he escaped from that institu-
tion.s
The charge on which he was tried yes
terday was that at one o'clock on the
morning of June "a last, Orange had
broken into the house of John Windes,
on West Thirty-second street, Bayonne.
Miss Edith Windes, an eighteen-year-old
girl. Was alone on the floor at the time
and she faced the burly black burglar
with an umbrella in one hand and toilet
pitcher in the other.
The thief made good his escape down
stairs, but not before, by the light of a
small candle he held in his hand, he had
been seen by the courageous young
woman Miss Windes pursued him and
on the way awakened her father who had
fallen asleep near the kitchen door, which
had been left open by mistake and
through which the thief had gained ac-
cess to the house.
DIR. Forman lives in the house adjoin-
ing, and through his telephone the police
were notified with the result that in less
than ten minutes Orange was captured.
He was identified by Miss Windes and the
small candle that she had described. with
several of the peculiar matches, one of
which had been used TO light the candle
and was found on the floor of the room.
were discovered in the thief's pocket.
Orange claimed that he had gone to
Bayonne to see his girl and had after
wards gone to look up man named Jones
whom he knew He admitted his arrest
in Philadelphia on a similar charge and
his escape from the hospital. He proved
very able. although somewhat voluble in
his cross examination of the States wit
nesses, and showed an acquaintance with
criminal law often displayed by prisoners
accustomed to the routine of those courts.
Judge Blair found him guilty and re-
manded him for sentence next Thursday.

John Gormley was convicted in the
Court of Special Sessions yesterday for
the attempted larceny of 1890 from
Saloonkeeper Michael Chinchella, of No.
512 Grand street, Hoboken, on June last.

his saloon and he was awakened by hear
ing Gormley at the cash drawer. He
made Gormley give up what he had taken
and put him out of the place.
Later Mrs Gormley called and wanted
a pint of beer and asked the saloon
keeper to. take pay for it out of the
money he had taken from her husband.
Chinchella then caused Gormley's arrest.
The defence was a general denial, but
Judge Blair did not believe the story and
promptly convicted the prisoner.
