Gov. etone Named Brown For rltts.
burg and Murphy For AIIen
d eheny City.

Harrisburg, April S.--Major A. M.
Brown was Saturday appointed re-
corder Of Pittsburg and John r.
Murphy of Allegheny. The announce
ment was made by Governor Stone.
The decision which resulted in these
appointments was made after con-
ference at the executive mansion. At
this conference were the governor,
Senator Penrose, Attorney General
j. p. Elkin, Director J. o. Brown, City
Attorney Clarence Burleigh and Judge
Elliott Rodgers, of Pittsburg.
w. b. Rodgers, author of the new
charter, In the course Of an interview
published Sunday, said: "The ap-
pointmept Is an excellent one. The
position was offered to Mr.. Thomas
s. Bigelow. Within a week it was
again offered, but upon conditions in
consistent with the proper exercise
Bigelow declined It,"
| During the course of an interview,
the attention of Major Brown was
called to the fact that 1t had been as
serted his appointment was made
without the governor having any con-
sultation with Senator Quay. On this
subject he said.
II do not know from Senator Quay
that my candidacy was desired by
him, but from the fact that persons
in close touch with him came to see
me | certainly had reason to believe
so. | consider 1t extremely improb-
able that the governor would make
the appointment without consulting
him. Furthermore | today received
the assurance OF one who has all
along been well posted on the events
at Harrisburg that the appointment
was not rendered to Mr.. Bigelow. No
doubt is entertained that his name
was considered in connection with 1t,
and that he stood a very good chance
of being appointed, but that the ap.
pointment was ever actually offered
him is denied"
| Has any intimation been conveyed
to you,' was asked, that Governor
Stone expects to control the appoint
ments under you, IL you accept this
position?"
There has not been the least init
nation Of desire on his part to con-
troll any official act of mine whatever.
And can say that he will not control
II | accept. OF course advice offered
by the governor in friendly spirit
would be received in the same spirit
and given consideration for what it is
worth, the same as IL it came from
any other man of such standing and
experience as to entitle him to a
hearing. But If take that position
1t VIII be to discharge it's duties ac.
cording to what judgment and con.
science shall show me to be right.
And l do not believe there is any de.
sire on the part Of the governor to
have me do otherwise"

There is more Catarrh in this Sec
tion of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the past
few years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease and prescrib-
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease, and therefore requires a con-
stitutional treatment. Halls -Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. j. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu-
tional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to n
teaspoonful. II acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces of the sys-
TEN. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send for
circulars and testimonials.

CHURCH DEDICATED.
A Christian Scientist EdifIce pedI.
Gated at chIcago--ouadrupIe Ser
vice to Accommodate Crowds,

Chicago. April S.--Probably 10000
persons participated Sunday In the
dedication Of the Second Church OF
Christ, Scientist, at Wrightwood and
Pine Grove avenue. So great was the
assemblage that quadruple service
was held. After the first service the
side doors were opened and the audi
ence passed out while another group
OF worshippers entered through the
front doors and participated in repe.
tition OF the service. Twice more the
ceremonial was repeated to audiences
similarly admitted, and still the
croWds fingered about the church,
eager to get in.
The salutatory address was deliv.
cred by Reader Bicknell Young, after
which greeting from Mrs. Mary
Baker Eddy was read.
Congratulatory kilograms from Ed.
ward A. Kimball, of Boston, and other
Christian Scientists of prominence in
all parts of the world were also read
from the chancel at each service.
The church. including the ground
upon which 1t stands, cost the SO.
ciety about 100000.

TO insist upon its conclusion, am
quite at loss to hnd out what has
given rise to such preposterous re-
ports. -
ut is very likely that the Japanese
minister at st. Petersburg should
have given Russia verbal advice that
the latter would better submit the
convention to the international con-
ference at pekin, and there is no rea-
son why Russia would refrain from
doing SO, II the convention contained
nothing, as has been declared by Rus
sia herself, which was detrimental to
the integrity of China or injurious to
the interests Of the powers concerned.
japan is ready to approve or support
any proposition, no matter whatever
state makes It, provided 1t Is Just
and proper. All that japan wants in
international transactions is fair
play and nothing more, but nothing
less. II is believed that the Pekin
negotiations will proceed in perfect
harmony, uninterrupted by the Incl.
dent caused by the Manchurian con.
vention, which now seems to have
been fairly settled"

When brought in to plead each said
mot guilty" Judge Jackson, noted
for doing things differently from other
people sometimes, asked IL they had
counsel or money. They had not.
The Judge looked over the list of
lawyers appearing at this term, and
selected General Alfred Caldwell, for
merly attorney general Hon. Henry
M. Russell and Hon. John A. Howard
to defend the trio. Had he searched
the state he could not have found three
lawyers who get bigger fees or who are
better qualified to earn them. There
was a litter through the court room
and looks of surprise among the law
yers.
There was nothing for the lawyers
selected to do but to accept the judges
appointment, and they went into the
case with vigor. Brief time was al
lowed for conference, and the trial
began. The witnesses were skillfully
questioned, and every art of the able
lawyers used to make good case for
the defense, The speeches were ap-
plauded-bursts of impassioned ora
tory. Every point was amplified in
the defendants favor. The jury in ff
teen minutes brought in a verdict of
acquittal, though there was hardly a
man in court who did not think other.

Russian Merchant Marine Is Develop.
ing Very Fast.
Washington, April 5.-A recent rapid
development In the Russian merchant
marine is recorded in report received
at the state department from United
States Consul Kehl at Stettin. The
merchant fleet, which few years ago
consisted of few steamers and about
200 Finnish sailing ships. now num-
bers more than 1900 steamships, in
cluding river steamers.
An imperial ukase recently put in
force limited the Russian coast trade
to her own steamers. This covers the
trade between European and Asiatic
Russia. but, owing to the heavy war
demand in Asiatic Russia. this part
of the empire is temporarily exempt
from the decree. However, just as
soon as this demand ceases 1t is cer-
tain, according to the consul, that the
exemption will be withdrawn and the
coast trade strictly enforced.
