OPTIONS SECURED.
Choice of Two Plots for Site for New
Schools-Reason Why More
Land Is Required

w. J. Welsh, of the special commits
tee appointed by the school board TO
negotiate for additional land for the
terday on the two plots adjoining the
proposed site, the old Home for the
Friendless plot on Adams avenue.
The plot to the north is ninety feet
in front by one hundred and fifty feet
deep and extends to the corner. The
one on the south is SOX15O. The conf
mittee is disposed to recommend the
purchase of the nOrtherly plot as it is
the larger, is on a corner and will cost
only $1,000 more than the other. The
options are for about $4,000.
In the opinion of the board it is alb
solutely necessary to secure additional
land as the plans for the Smith Manu-
al Training school, which is to be on
the same plot, demand more land than
was at first supposed.
IF both schools We're built on the
present plot they would be so close to-
gether that one side of each building
would be deprived of the light so nee
essary to school rooms. and besides
the high school would have to be built
with its end instead of its front fac
ing the street. BY fronting the high
school on the street, sufficient room
will be secured in the rear for the
steam heating plant which is to sup
ply the two new buildings, the present
High school and the No. 33 building.
Unless this arrangement is made a
separate lot will have to be purchased
for the steam plant.

HELD in $1,000 BAIL,
Williams, the Directory Man, Must
Answer to Charge of Sending
Scurrilous Postal Cards.

John L. Williams, publisher Of the
Williams city directory, was yesterday
held in $1,000 bail by United States
Commissioner George d. Taylor, to
answer in court to the charge of send
ing scurrilous postal cards through the
United States mails.
"A hearing was conducted in the COM
missioner's office in the afternoon, at
which Postottice Inspector German ap-
peared for the government while for
mer Judge j. w. Carpenter represented
Nh. Williams.
The postal card. which Williams is
alleged to have sent through the mails,
was d printed one and referred to the
rival directory which has been issued
by w. +. Smythe. 1t refers to Judge
Archbald's opinion when he granted an
injunction restraining Smythe from
Issuing u directory last year, mention-
ing that directory as having been pir-
ated from the Williams directory.
The question arose at yesterdays hear
ing as to whether the postal merely
quoted Judge Archibald as saying that
the directory was a piracy, or as to
whether the opinion to that effect ex-
pressed was not merely the view Of the
person sending the cards through the
mails Judge Carpenter, while not ad-
mittng that Williams sent the cards,
contended that Judge Archbald's opin-
ion was merely quoted but the COM
missioner took the opposite view and
would not agree to discharge the de-
fendant on that ground.
The defense then sought to prove that
Williams had not sent the cards. Mar
shall Preston and Friend G. Cavell,
employed in the job room where the
cards We're printed, were sworn, but
could not remember who had furnished
the copy for the cards. The copy itself
was offered in evidence. but they could
not identify the handwriting. Attorney
G. 5. Woodruff, who has done legal
work for Williams. swore that the
handwriting of the copy furnished the
printers was not Williams writing.
Francis G. Rarrick, proprietor of The
Seneca, where Williams boarded, swore
that he Williams) was out of the city
between January q and March Z, of this
year. The postal cards We're mailed last
February.

CROGAN WAS one
TOO MANY FOR HIN
Sharp Ruse Of Keen-Eyed Young
Man to Cash Bad Check Didn't
Result Successfully.

Secretary James Crogan, of the
Lackawanna Brewing company, was
alone in the Office of that concern at
Monsey avenue and Poplar street, yes
terday afternoon about o'clock when
a keen-eyed young man in his shirt
sleeves and with pen behind his ear
stepped hurriedly in.
Sorry to trouble you, MIR. Crogan,"
he said, but I'm from the Klot's
Throwing company. Mr.. Kilgour wants
to pay off a few of his hands and he's
short Of money. He wants you to cash
this s55 check for him."
The keen-eyed young man handed
over a check for Mr. Crogan's inspec-
ton as he said this. The check was
drawn on the First National bank and
was made payable to the Lackawanna
Brewing company. 1t was signed by
George Klots, secretary of the Throw
ing company and looked regular enough
but Mr.. Crogan's suspcionswere arous-
ed.
The bookkeeper isn't in,' he said,
"but if you call around about 0.3O
o'clock I'll see If l can't sach it,
The young man went out and then
Mr.. Crogan began to think that maybe
he was wrong in suspecting anything.
The Klot's Throwing company's estab-
lishment adjoins the brewery and the
fact that the fellow looked as If he
just stepped out of the office made
things appear all right. He called up
Mr.. kilgour. the superintendent, and
was informed that he had sent no check
to be cashed and that he knew no one
answering the description of the young
man.
At $50 o'clock the slick young man
again put in an appearance and was
bareheaded and in his shirt sleeves as
at first.
I've come after the money" he said.
"Mr. kilgour says he didn't give you
any check to cash. said Mr.. Crogan as
he edged over towards the door in the
office railing.
The keen-eyed young man grew pale.
"Oh, yes, he did. Yes, he did. Come
right over with me and see for your
self" and the next minute he had
vanished and was lost in the exterior
darkness.
The police have been furnished with
description of him. He is described
as being about 5 feet 10 inches tall with
black hair and moustache and as being
especially intelligent and bright look
ing.

LECTURE BY JACOB A. RIIs.
he Will Speak in the Bicycle Club
House on Nov, "a.

Jacob a. Riis, the author of "The
Making of an American" and "How
the Other Half Lives" is to deliver a
lecture in the Bicycle club house on
November "a, under the auspices of the
Young Ladies' society of the First Pres
byterian church. The tickets are 81.
There is no man in the country today
whose studies of the conditions under
which the poorer classes live in the
large cities have beeen SO helpful and
followed by such results as Mr.. Riis'
While President Roosevelt was police
commissioner Of New York, he became
much interested in Mr.. Riis' work and
assisted him materially in pursuing it,
The warm friendship that then sprung
up between the two men has been con-
tinued ever since.
Mr.. Riis is a most interesting talker
and the large number who will want ia
hear him will unquestionably test the
capacity of the bicycle house.

The fine residence of ]. b. Birtley, in
side foreman at the Pancoast colliery,
located on tho Olyphant road in Throop

afforded by the single hose company
the building was burned to the ground.
There was Il danger at one time of the
flames spreading to the adjoining build
ings, but the arrival of hose company
from Priceburg prevented this. Mr..
Birtley's loss is about $4,000, covered by
insurance.

THERE is hardly q man or wo-
 man i:r this land who has not a
 mother, wife, sister or daughter who is now suffering as Mrs. White suffered. These silent sufferers are martyrs to their modesty. Even their nearest relatives know only half of the story of woe they might tell. What a great service you could rem der your loved ones by securing them bottle of Wine of Cardui, the med icine which made such a happy change in Mrs. Whites life. Can you put the cost of life of suffering with hundreds of dollars in doctors bills. against the small price of the few bottles of Wine of Cardui which cured Mrs. White so quickly?
 The fact that Mrs. White suf- fered for seven long years shows that when proper treatment is not secured the trouble grows worse. And this letter shows that Wine of Cardui is a positive and permanent cure. Mrs. Whites case was chronic. Nothing helped her until she began taking this wonderful Cardui treatment.
