We have been disappointed. The
bald facts, which seem to be beyond
controversy, are bad enough.
The-truth appears to be that Perry
S. Heath, while first assistant post
master general, acquired fifty thous-
and dollars of stock in the bank, then
weak and struggling for mere exist
Eenee, taking the stock in the. name OF
mis- brother Fletcher, at least in part.
Fletcher was not known in New York
financial. circles at5that time, nor else
where, but he was made vice ,preSi-
ldent of the bank and both wereimade
kdirectors. Doubt has been expressed
Eas to whether the Heaths paid for, the
stock and there has been some sur
prise that so small a holding should
have carried with it the virtual con-
|.tral of the business.
However that may he, the bank
forthwith entered upon an era OF
growth and expansion and was given
the benefit of heavy Official deposits,
coming chiefly frem the postal depart
ment. The Heaths boosted of their
influence with the administration and
their consequent ability to divert val
liable favors in their direction, and
when theE were expostulated with
for such indelicacy they boldly repeat
ed their boasts. Fletcher Heath,
making use Of his younger brother,
Cyrus. sought far and near for all
sorts of speculative investments, OF a
character that conservative bankers
avoid. and he backed a miscellaneous
lot of enterprises in several states.
When the end came, and the end of
reckless banking frequently comes
prematurely, it was found that more
thanhalf the sum Of the banks de-
posits. and more than ts1ree times the
amount of its capital stock, had been
risked i'm the Marquand ventures,
which no other hank in the city would
touch, and they We're detected in such
unprofessional conduct as ''kjting"
checks, drafts and notes and in such
illegal practices as certifying checks
greatly in excess of the accounts
against which they were drawn.
These things are stated in all the
papers and are not denied: indeed,
they are for the most part admitted
to be true. 1t is story of the COM
liberalization of political pull, :"
and if the methods are not the same
as those of Tammany the principle is
Identical. If the democrats have
their Croker, so have the republicans
their Heath: and between the two we
have the greater condemnation for
the man who abuses the confidence of
the party and the president who trust
ingly put it in his power to abuse
them. Indiana republicans may ever
gratefully remember that they did not
as party contribute to Perry Heath'S
ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

Plymouth Ind. July ~. 1901.

The little flare-up between the two

it arose and each appears to zoe salts

KINGS EVIL.
How Ignorance and Super
stition go Hand in Hand.

"A curious sight might have been seen
ia England a couple of centuries ago.
At Whitehall or some other royal resi-
dence little group of people would
shrinkingly await the coming of the
king, in order to be utouched for the
evil.n The specific revil" was scrofula,
and it was the popular belief that scrof-
ula conld be cured by the royal touch.
Hence the common name for scrofula
was Kings Evil.
Nowadays we know that scrofula is a
disease of the blood and that even were
there magic in kingly touch, no ex-
ternal treatment could cure scrofula.
The medicine which cures scrofula

must deal with the blood. It must be
poisons which corrupt the blood and
breed and feed disease. When the
blood is cleansed, the pimples, blotches,
boils and other eruptions disappear,
ulcers and sores are healed and the flesh
becomes sound and healthy.
THE RIGHT WAY
to cleanse the blood from scrofula is to
choose that remedy which has cured
thousands of people who suffered from
scrofula in its most grevious forms.
81 am using good many of your
medicines in my practice" writes DIR.
joseph Fike, of Lost Springs, Marion
Co., Kansas. icTen years ago there
was ar emigration from Rusland to this
country and there was lady in the
company who was badly affected with
that dreadful disease, scrofula. Her
mouth and throat were in an awful con-
dition, and there were Jumps on the out
side, below the jaws, the size of hens
egg. Other doctors had been called
and they said it was a fatal case. felt
confident that none of my remedies
would benefit her any. 1t came to my
mind that DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery was recommended for such
cases, so went to the drug store and
bought one bottle and gave it to her to
use as directed. Five bottles cured
her and she is we'll to day. She is
married now and has three healthy
children"
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry judged solely by the cures it has
effected is without doubt the most pow
erful and most perfect blood purifying
medicine of the century. 1t is radi-
cal remedy. 1t goes to the root OF the
disease. Some preparations containing
mineral poisons such as mercury are
offered as cures for scrofula. These
medicines only suppress the symptoms
OF disease for while and give the skin

superintendent Mcguire Hopes to
Finish the Year without Any Sc
riOus Fires-Fire Department Has
Done Effective Work But Firemen
Do Not Brag Until the Year Has
Ended-The Improvement in APP
paratus Greatly Aids Fire Fight
ing.
Unless there is a disastrous con-
flagration before the close of the month
the present year will go on record as
one of small losses from Are. Up to
the present time there have been no
really large fires, and the loss will
not amount to very much.
Almost all of the fires have been
in dwellings, and there has been a re-
markable scarcity of ship fires. While
fire losses, Supt. Mcguire says that the
most important factor in the reduc-
ton has been the increased efficiency
of the department. While the fire
chief does not argue that there is not
a certain percentage of luck in all
things. he maintains that the depart
ment is better equipped and that the
men have reached the point where they
move like machinery.
The loss has been kept down because
of the efficient work of the men in
she department, aGd the chemical @n-
gines have done much to help make
a creditable showing for the depart
ment. One of the chemical engines
answers every alarm, and unless wa
ter is absolutely necessary, the cheml-
cal stream alone Is used. In this man
ner the damage by water is reduced
to a minimum. In former years, in
many cases, water did more damage
than fire. The records show that mat
ters are quite different now.
The fire under the Marshall House
Friday afternoon was a splendid illus
tration of what the chemical engines
can do. Engine No. 1 from the Central
Fire Station reached the hotel before
the alarm had ceased sounding, and a
stream was cotton on the flames in an
incredible short space of time. No
water was used, and the fire was kept
in the room where 1t started. The
rapjdity with which the men from the
chemical got to work was little short
of remarkable and was generally COM
fnented upon. Had water been depend
ed upon to check the flames consider
able time would have been lost in
coupling to the fire plug. and in che
opinion of those who were on the scene
the flames would have reached the no
tel proper. Supt. Mcguire is greatly
pleased with the work that has been
done by the chemical companies and in
his annual report to the Mayor he will
probably call attention to the eff

The storm which was central over

Charged with Conducting a Va
riety Theater without the Pay
ment of a Special Tax-Under the
War Revenue Act This Is an
Onense with a Penalty.
The operations Of Alexander's New
Vaudeville Theater were temporarily
suspended last night by the arrest Of
the proprietor, Andrew X. Alexander,
on a charge of carrying on the bust
ness of retail liquor dealer without
paying the tax required by law.
The warrant was sworn out yester-
day morning, by Deputy Collector of
Internal Revenue A. w. Wimberly,
before United States Commissioner
Ryals. AT $50 o'clock when the vaude-
VILE show was in full blast, a pair of
deputy marshals descended upon the
place and carried the proprietor away.
1t was not done, however. without
a protest on the part of Alexander. He
had an old internal revenue license.
made out in the name of some man of
his nationality, suspended :rom the
wall, but this of course did not serve
TO prevent his arrest. Licenses from
the government are not transferable
and that which Alexander displayed
on the wall of his bar was the equiva-
lent of none at all.
The man was carried before the
Commissioner and permitted his choice
of giving bond or being committed to
Jail. He accepted the former alterna-
tive and gave bond in the sum of $500,
with James NJ. Wilbon as surety, for
his appearance before the Commits
sioner next Thursday afternoon.
Besides the charge of engaging in
the retail liquor business without the
payment of the special tax, Alexander
is also accused of conducting vaude-
vile theater, or concert hall, without
having paid 500 to the United States.
The tax on concert halls is imposed
by the war revenue act and the pen
atty for its non-payment is similar to
that in the case of a retail liquor
dealer.
Alexander seems to have started in
business principally or solely on a sup
ply of cold nerve. He had not paid
the license fee exacted by the govern
ment. and his little exploit with Eli
Veruh indicates that he did not have
money enough to buy liquors to stock
his bar. According to the theory of
the Veruki incident most recently ad-
vanced, Alexander bought the liquors
from Veruki. In this event both the
buyer and seller are liable to punish
ment, as Veruki has no license to do
business other than as a retail liquor
dealer, while the goods stolen, or pur-
