NOT DUE TO CLIMATE.

Catarrh Is at home anywhere and
everywhere. While more common in
cold, changeable climates, 1t is by no
means confined to them, but Is preva-
lent In every state and territory in the
Union.
The common definition OF catarrh is
n chronic cold in the head, which IL
long neglected often destroys the sense
of smell and hearing; but there are
many other forms of the disease, even
more obstinate and dangerous.
Catarrh of the throat and bronchial
tubes, as well as catarrh of the stom-
ach and liver are almost as common
as nasal catarrh and generally more
difficult to cure.
Catarrh is undoubtedly a blood dis
ease and can only be successfully
eradicated by an internal treatment.
Sprays, washes and powders are use-
less as far as reaching the real seat of
the disease Is concerned.
DIR. McIverney advises catarrh suf-
ferers to use q new preparation, sold
by druggists, called Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets, because actual analysis has
shown these tablets to contain certain
anti-septic qualities of the highest
value and being an internal remedy,
pleasant to the taste, convenient and
harmless can be used as freely as re-
quired, as well for children as for
adults.
An attorney and public speaker, who
had been a catarrh sufferer for years,
says:
Every fall would catch q cold
which would settle in my head and
throat and hang on all winter long and
every winter it seemed to get little
worse. l. was continually clearing my
throat and my voice became affected
to such an extent as to interfere with
my public speaking.
Il tried troches and cheap cough
cures and sometimes got relief, but only
for a short time, until this winter when
learned of the new catarrh cure, Stu
arts Catarrh Tablets, through a news
paper advertisement. Two fifty-cent
boxes which l bought at my druggists,
cleared my head and throat in fine
shape and to guard against return of
my old trouble / keep q box of the tab
let's on hand and whenever / catch a
little cold l take a tablet or two and
ward off any serious developments
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets deserves to
head the list as u household remedy, to
check and break up coughs and colds,
because unlike many other catarrh and
cough cures these tablets contain no
opiate, cocaine or any injurious drug.

The members of Lackawanna coun-
Gil. No. 1133, Royal -Arcanum, held q
regular meeting in ivorite hall last
evening. after which they were enter
tained and instructed by Druggist John
J. Davies, who read 81 carefully pre-
pared paper on the subject of "Revo-
lution."' "'Thc paper was listened to with
much interest and was afterwards dis
cussed by a number of those present
An outline of the paper is here given:
",rhe past few years have brought TO
the front several great questions, which
in their relation to our traditions and
the spirit of our constitution, are sug-
yestive to some of our people of revo-
luton. Whether they are or not. they
cause us to ponder for moment upon
these great upheavals of organized
society in the past. which have become
landmarks in modern history, namely,
the English revolution OF 1858, the
American of 1776, and the French OF
1850.
In addition TO containing many posi-
tive features in common, they also con-
tanned one negative feature, in COM
mon, namely, that none of them was
inspired by desire to establish any
privilege which it had not already pos
sessed, but We're in reality protests
against the denial OF rights which had
been conceded centuries before.
The latter two were the logical re-
suits, too, OF the English revolution,
inasmuch as the strongest arguments
of the American revolutionist was that
their grievances were contrary to the
spirit of English liberty and the power
full spirit of independence engerdered
by the Americans inspired the French
to work out their own salvation
Touching on the point of capital and
labor, Mr.. Davies said:
"a wise employer, like wise mon-
arch, will consider the reasonable and
lust demands of his people, and by the
peaceful process of evolution lead them
UP to that middle ground where the
prerogatives of the one ends and the
rights of the other begins"
The paper was discussed by John r.
Farr, Charles L. Oliver, Walter S.
l3evan, Charles r. Acker, Victor II.
I.auer, w. j. Long. L. w. Thayer and
d. D. Evans. and a vote Of thanks was
given Mr.. Davies for his effort. A
smoker was also q feature of the even
ing's enjoyment.
At the next meeting, two weeks from
last night. Attorney George Howell will
address the council, and the newly
elected officers will be installed.

Against the Heist

Tank.

Exciting Assemblage Promis-
ed When the General In
dignation Overflows.
MEETING IN LAFAYETTE HALL

The Indignation meeting of the people
Of Lafayette to protest against the erec-
tion Of that 1000 barrel oil tank, will
be held Friday night in Lafayette Hall
on Wilton street. This hall belongs to
the Lafayette Republican Battery, OF
which Commissioner Angel is a member.
1t was learned that there was some OBJ
lection to allowing the use of the hall
for the meeting because Angel would be
the mark during the entire meeting.
There were consultations over the mat
ter and it was finally decided to grant
the permission. The wiser ones figured
out that the people would submit the
club and the prominent members to Sc
we're criticism and that it would not be
good politics to have such things take
place.
The meeting promises to be an excit-
ing one. Measures will be adopted map
ping out the course to be pursued by
those objecting to the erection OF the
tank.

POLICE BELT War
Patrolmen Protesting Loud
" at the Way They Were
Relieved Of a Por-
ton of Their Pay.

There are about three hundred police
mems belts stored away in the various
station houses of the city that represent
SICU of money taken from the mems pay
for June The belts have been used
once, on the day of the parade of June
4 and they will not be used again until
next fall, when the police will again don
their winter clothes. Why these belts
were ordered at the time has never been
explained and the men are very much
wrought up over the matter and loud
in their denunciation of their superiors
who are responsible for them. Not only
the purchase at the unreasonable time
of the year, but also the cost Of the belts
form grounds for the protests. Every
policeman in the service paid $2.75 for
his belt. It is the same. belt for which
the New York men paid but $1.50. Why
was this distinction made, is a question
that the men would like to have an
swered. and. Though they have asked it
many times, there has been no answer.
ALL A MYSTERY.
The whole transaction has been
shrouded in mystery. One day, in the
latter part of May, the men. were told
to report early at their respective sta
tions. They did so. Then they were
measured. For what none of them knew.
The first knowledge they had was when
they reported for duty about the first of
June. In every station on the same day
they were handed belts across the desk
and told that they were the new ones
adopted by the department and that they
would cost $2.75 each. They We're told
to wear the belts on parade and they
did so. Then they were told to lay them
aside saltil next fall as they would have
no use for them until that time. But
there was 20 delay in the payments.
The money was taken out of the June
salaries in the face of loud protests.
HOW THE BELTS LOOK.
TIE. u, Its, so tal as the men are con-
ccrned. are no better than the old ones,
and are rot So pretty. They seem to
take their extracl binary value from the
fact that they ar. furnished with pa
tent clasp. so that instead of pulling the
night stick out of the socket, it may be,
nrsled out of one side This, it is
claimed, will give the men better chances
il any trouble they may get into. where
quick work with the stick is essential.
Policemen generally do not agree with
this idea They say they prefer the old
style, SO far -as its usefulness is con-
ccrncd, and they certainly like tie price
better.
Chief Murphy and Inspector Archibold
both refuse to discuss the case further
than IL say that the new belt is a good
thing, and for that reason was adopted,
aud that The price was fair. They say
they are sorry if any one is dissatisfied,
hut that it is very hard to please every
body all the time.

Van Empty Here Reaches
South Amboy With a Man
Shot Through the
Heart.
BROOKLYN MAN INMATE
His Family Scout the Idea OF
Suicide and Insist That
Their Son Was
Murdered.

Chief of Police Murphy received a.
telegram from Coroner J. G. Albright, Of
South Amboy, last might, informing him
that box car which had been sent from
the Pennsylvania Railroad meadow
shops to South Amboy as a cripple, had
arrived wrth the body of a man in 1t who
had been shot through the heart. A Car
penters' Union card made out to E. B.
Quakenbush, of Local Union, No. 709,
of Brooklyn, was found on the body.
The authorities of South Amboy,
where the body was discovered, set IL
down as a suicide and the story of the
dead mans aged parents that he had had
a disappointment in love and had been
drinking heavily since his sweetheart WAS
married TO his rival would tend TO
strengthen the suicide theiry. There are
Two circumstances of the tragedy incon-
sistent withany theory of suicide
No weapon was found in the car.
There was trail of blood from psint
near the door of the car to the far
conner where the body lay when found,
and the doctors say the wound must have
been Instantly fatal
s Quackenbush left home, his mother
says, Saturday afternoon, saying he was
going to see a friend named Edward
Tobin, who lives at No. 502 Schenck
avenue, Brooklyn. He never reached
Tobin's house. No trace of him has been
found from that time until his dead body
was found at South Amboy, and he had
been dead so long that the shot that kill
ed him must have been fired shortly after
he left home. The freight car was lying
in the freight yards of the Pennsylvania
Railway on the Jersey meadows between
Jersey City and Newark until late Sat
urday night, when it was coupled with
other empties to a train for South Am
boy.
The dead man was thirty-eight years
old, in good health and steadily employed
at his trade of carpenter. His only
trouble was the affair of the heart. and
his parents say that did not seem to af-
feet him deeply. They admit he had
been drinking heavily when he was last
at home. They scout the theory of sui
eide, and insist their son was murdered,
but by whom or for what motive they
are as much in the dark as the police.
