Consumption

Salt pork is famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.
Scott Emulsionis themod-
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
gough for sensitive stomachs.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phites in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.

PAYING DELEGATES.

Convention, Attorney General Says,
 Cannot Make Such Appropriation.
 There has been more or less talk around the convention to the effect that a resolution would be passed giy- ing each delegate the same pay as is now given to members of the general assembly, and that the comptroller would honor such a draft. It ap- pears that Attorney General Phelps has been consulted and that he has given to Comptroller Chamberlain an opinion to just the opposite effect, saying that while a number of the ex- penses of the convention can be prop erly paid now on vote of the conyen- ton itself. the matter of pay must wait for the legislature to settle
 While this might seem at first sight to defer the payment of the delegates until after the next legislature has been elected and settled down to bus iness, still it is possible that circum- stances may open an easier way. In case the convention should agree upon some draft and that draft should be submitted to the people soon and be accepted by them, the probability is that Governor Mclean would call all extra session of the present legisla. lure to redistrict the state and also tC pass certain laws desired by the com mission appointed to revise the sta tutes Such a session could pass the legislation needed to compensate the delegates if it desired.

A STRIKE AvERTED.
Conference of Coal Road Presidents in
 New York

Conference of Coal Road Presidents in
 New York.
 NEW YORK, May 7.-Presidents of the leading anthracite coal roads as well as some of the more important in- dependent producers held conference of several hours duration in this city yesterday. According to report, the conference was attended by the execu- tive heads of the Lackawanna, Dela- ware and Hudson, Reading and On tario and Western roads. The Erie IS said to have been represented by Chairman Thomas.
 No information concerning the meet ing was obtainable from official sources. A representative of one of the roads named is authority for the state ment that the strike situation was thoroughly discussed and that action favorable to the miners was taken.
 The strength of the coal stocks in the afternoon, together with the em- phatic statement of a member of the firm of J. F. Morgan & Go. that there will be no strike, was accepted as proof that pacific action will be taken at the miners convention ill Scranton today.
 Oscar S. Straus, vice chairman of the National Civic federation and q mem Der of the special committee on concll- iation and arbitration, states that but for the good offices of the Civic feder- ation and the cooperation of the labor | leaders of that committee the coal strike would have been declared short l Iy after the meeting held by the coal miners at Shamokin six weeks ago. The l conciliation committee succeeded Ill 1 bringing about the two conferences 1 that have since been held between the presidents of the four roads-namely Messrs. Baer, Truesdale, Thomas and l Oliphant on the one side and President 1 Mitchell and his committee on the other.
 Mr. Straus added that the public is entitled to know that the question al issue had nothing to do with the recog hilton of the union. The miners repre- scented by Mitchell asked for an in crease in pay per ton and fixed wage schedule and that the coal be weighed at the mouth of the mine, so that th' net weight of the ton for which the, were paid should more nearly approach the ton of commerce. All of these mat ters were discussed at the various meetings in an apparent spirit of mu tual consideration. The operators, how ever, absolutely declined to make an. concession upon any of these points.
 Mr. Straus, upon being asked Wheth CT he thought strike would take place answered that he felt that the refusa of the operators thus far to make an concession and returning an absolut 'sNo'' to MT. Mitchell and his colleague would in his opinion not only lead t q strike, but to most determined one one he feared that would extend be yond the anthracite coal regions.

 Young Woman ap lEscaped.
 All the burglars have not left town, for an attempt was made last night to enter the residence of Dr and Mrs Ernest D. Chipman at 153 Hillside ave nue. The attempted burglary LOOK place about 9:3O. MT and Mrs Chlp- man were at Polls theater- Apout 9:30 a young lady employed in the doc tors household, heard some noise at the side of the building. She went there and raised a window and looked out. As she did so, masked man struck her heavy blow on the fore head, the mark of which is still ylsl- ble. The young lady, however, did not faint as many young lady would have done, but with presence of mind, which is worthy of commenda- tion, she pulled down the window and then telephoned for the police, but the man had made good his escape by the time the police had arrived on the scene. On investigation it was found that two blinds had been removed from the house. The supposition IS that the burglar was about to effect an entrance when he was discovered

SUPERIOR COURT.
Whether MT Metz Was Quarrelsome
 or Harmless Was the Question.

Whether MT Metz Was Quarrelsome
 or Harmless Was the Question.
 The case of Leavenworth vs Lawlor was resumed ih the superior court to- day before Judge Robinson. The fol- lowing witnesses were examined A. M. Blakesley, J. R. Clayton, D. T. Root, Anson F. Abbott and Albert T. Chatfield, building inspector. Their evidence related mostly to the con struction of the building internally, the period they had been tenants and the means of ingress and egress..
 Mir Abbott testified that he smelled trouble some time before it broke out. He said he heard the defendant pro- claim himself absolute owner of the passage way leading from the street some days before it was nailed up and some of the tenants came near being nailed ill. So that the fact of the mailing up of the passage was not q surprise to him. Attorney Goodwin Stoddard of Bridgeport asked Mir Ab- bolt if in his opinion Joseph Metz was 'an extremely quarrelsome person? ?'' Mir Abbott would not say he was. He denied that he ever complained of Metz to the defendant or Mir Clayton but he knew Metz had quarreIs.
 The question was then changed to this: If MeN was not the most harm. less man he ever knew and MT Abbott would not say definitely. The orig tnal question was then amended thus If Metz was not the most quarrelsomt man he knew in all the world, b,sst Nh Abbott could not be got to make $ definite answer.
 The case is very 'dry." It was what lawyers call pretty case, full of nice close questions of law.

BRUTRL MURDER
Slew His Four Year Old Son For
Tearing the Bark Off a Tree, dnd
Took Daughter to Mountains
Where She Can't Be Found

INEZ, KY, Nov. enlarged with
the deliberate murder of his 4-year-old
son, and suspected of making way with
his 15-year-old daughter, Pleasant
Spradlin, aged As, is in Jail, and the ut
most precautions are being taken to
prevent neighbors from administering
summary vengeance.
The story of Spradlin's alleged
crimes is one of the most revolving
in the history of this part of the COM
monwealth.
Spradlins family consisted of wife,
three daughters and the one son. Yes
terday the father, with the two elder
daughters and the boy went into the
field to herd sheep. The little fellow,
because of his tender years, was un-
able to keep UP with the older people,
and his father finally placed him on
stone beside a spring, telling him to
wait until his return. The boy, be-
coming tired of sitting still, began to
peel the loose bark off a tree that
overhung the spring.
Presently the father returned, and
noticing the bark on the ground, asked
the boy who had done it. The boy
replied that he had Il would rather
have you dead than raise you to de-
stroy everything on the farm" is the
reply the father is said to have made,
and then, it is charged, he picked up
stone and thruek the boy on the head.
knocking him down Then, it is al
legged, he kicked the PROSTATE baby in
the head until he killed him, and
turning to his daughters, threatened
them with like fate If they ever told
what occurred. Afterward he went
home and said the boy. while chasing
sheep, had run against a tree and
killed himself
Becoming alarmed, he took his eld-
est daughter and went to the noun
tains.
His wife hired neighbors to bury the
body of the child, then went to the
home of Judge E. Hensley. She told
him of the death of her son, and said
she suspected her husband, who told
her he was going into the mountain
woods to hunt squirrels, and added
that at different times he had threat
ened to kill the whole family The
| judge took her, with her two younger
daughters to his home, and presented
the case to the grand jury. One of
the little girls told the jury that her
father had kicked the boy to death.
Shortly afterward a sheriff's posse cap
tured Spradlin in the mountains, but
! his elder daughter is not with him.
The posse is still searching for her.
