Funds for the Health
Boards Need.

Conference of Police Commits

Brings Good Re.
suits.

President Mitchell and Commissioner
Tilden, of the Board of Health, and Mayor
Pagan had conference in the Mayor 5
office in the City Hall this morning They
met for the purpose of considering what
action to take on the matter of having
the Board of Finance provide for the ex-
penses of the Board Of Health. The lack
of funds was brought home to the Board
of Health very forcibly yesterday when
some of the employees were told they
could not receive their salaries for Feb
ruary as there was no money in the de-
partment. This state of affairs was caused
bv the transferring Of $4,000 from the
Health Board fund to the general fund
some months ago AS the city makes no
appropriation for the paying of salaries,
there were no warrants at the city clerk
office yesterday when the employees called.
This morning Messrs. Mitchell and Til
den and Mayor Fagan talked the matter
over. and the result is they will ask the
Board OF Finance to make a sufficient ap-
preparation at the next meeting to be held
on March S.
Previous to the meeting Mayor Fagan
held a consultation with Jacob Ringle and
other members of the Finance Board, and
it was agreed that at its meeting on We'd
nesday the board would provide $1,000 to
help the Health Board out Of its difficulty.

Testimony Of a Cured Ranch Owner
Has Not Been Sick Day Since He Used
the Great Medicine

Too often people drag with them into
the spring season load of disease that
has proved a heavy burden during the
winter months Impure and poisoned
blood, eczema, salt rheum, boils, erup-
tions, neuralgia. rheumatism, kidney dis
ease, liver trouble, dyspepsia, and nervous
complaints claim thousands of victims
throughout the land.
The cleansing, healing, and life renew
ing work of Paine's Celery Compound in
the past should be sufficient guarantee
to every sufferer that it will surely and
quickly overcome every form of disease
just referred to. In every case Paine's $
Celery Compound is the one remedy that
will completely and permanently bring
back health, make pure, rich blood, reg
ulate and build up the weakened nervous

Col Byron Fl. Van Raub, owner Of the

Yesterdays Storm Demon
strated the Deplorable
Condition of City
Hospital.
WARDS WE'RE FLOODED
New Building Impsratively
Demanded What War.
den Osborne Says.

During the heavy rainstorm yesterday
afternoon, the need of new City Hos
pital was felt more than ever. The male
ward, which has given the attendants all
sorts of trouble and has exhausted the
patience of Warden Osborne, leaked so
badly that streams of water ran in on
the centre of the room from the rotten
east side of the building. The east side
of the structure stands exposed to the
high winds on the rocks, and the rain
beats unmercifully against the wall. For
two years this wooden wall has been
patched up from time to time to protect
patients, but there is no way to keep the
water out.
There are large cracks in the side of the
building and on the roof, through which
the rain pours in great quantities six
cots with patients on them were soaked
yesterday before the attendants could
move them to dry spots. In every rain
storm these cots are transferred 70 tne
centre of the building. Yesterday the floor
of the building was flooded. For several
hours the nurses and keepers worked
around with mops and brooms trying to
give the place presentaIble appearance.
Never was the need of a new building
more forcible demonstrated. The officials
and legislators who are quarreling about
the kind of a building which shall go up
and how it shall be arranged, should
have had look at the place yesterday
when they would have seen the necessity
of passing hospital bill without needless
delay. The conditions are considered olt-
rageous for a city of over 100000 inhabi-
tants. This building takes procedure OF
a new High School, and II is the opinion
of all who have been iiscussiRg the mat
ter that delay is dangerous.
Warden Osborne and DR.. McGill have
spent much time on the matter of new
hospital, and have urged that the project
be put through at once. Warden Osborne
said yesterday, in an interview, that the
old building was absolutely rotten and of
practically no use.
I'VE have been flooded out dozens OF
tines said he, despite the fact that
holes. That east wall is like sieve, and
we can do nothing to stop the rain from
pouring in on the patients. Some heavy
wind will carry that wall away and fatal
results may follow For several years
carpenters have tried to remedy the de-
fects, but the fact is that the wall is rot
ten and repairs are a waste of time and
money. There should be no delay about
passing the hospital bill, for the city
needs a new institution as soon as it can
be put up

Miss Cora Ainsley, a prominent school
teacher in one of our normal schools,
speaks of her experience with catarrhal
headaches and eulogizes Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets as a cure for them. She says: i
suffered daily from severe frontal head
ache and pain in and back of the eyes, at
times so intensely as to incapacitate me
in my daily duties. had suffered from
catarrh. more or ess for years, but never
thought 1t was the cause of my head
aches. but finally became convinced that
such was the case because the headaches
were always worse whenever had cold
or fresh attack of catarrh.
"Stuart's Catarrh Tablets were highly
recommended to me as safe and pleas
ant catarrh cure. and after using few
fifty-cent boxes which I procured from
my druggists I was surprised and delight
ed to find that both the catarrh and head
aches had gone for good. !"
Stuart's CatarrF Tablets are sold by
druggists at fifty cents per package, un-
der the guarantee of the proprietors that
they contain absolutely no cocaine dound
in SO many satarrh cures), NO opium $50
common in cheap cough cures). nor any
harmful drug. They contain simply the
wholesome antiseptics necessary to de-
stroy and drive from the system the
germs of catarrhal disease.

q CAUSE OF HEADACHE.
One Very Common Cause,
Generally Overlooked.

Headache is symptom, an indication
of arrangement or disease In some organ,
and the cause of the headache is difficult
to locate because so many disease have
headache as prominent symptom de-
rangefnent Of the stomach and liver. heart
trouble, kidney disease, lung trouble, eye
strain or i'll fitting glasses, all produce
headaches, and if we could always locate
the organ which is at fault the cure Of OBJ
stinate headaches would be a much sim
pier matter.
However, for that form Of headache
called frontal headache, pain back of the
eyes and in forehead, the cause is now
known to be catarrh of the head and
throat; when the headache is located in
back Of head and neck 1t is often caused
from catarrh of the stomach or liver
At any rate catarrh is the most com
mon cause of such headaches and the cure
Of the catarrh causes prompt disappear

There is at present no treatment for
catarrh so convenient and effective as
Stuart's Catarrhal Tablets, new internal
remedy in tablet form, composed of anti
septics like eucalyptol guaiacol and blood
root which act upon the blood and cause
the elimination of the catarrhal poison
from the system through the natural
channels.

BRIRKMaRn WILL CASE.
One OF the Witnesses Swears He
lid Not See Tastatrix Sign.

The hearing in the contest of the will OF
the late Mrs. Kate Brinkmann of West
Newark avenue, who left an estate valued
at $1,000 to the children of deceased
daughter, was continued before Judge
Blair in the Orphans Court yesterday af-
ternoon.
The caveator, Mrs. Lena Kleen, a
daughter of the testatrix, is endeavoring
to prove undue influence on the part of
: the father of the children named as sole
benef1claries under the will. and also
that the document, by which she was dis
inherited, was not properly executed
The only witness examined was Louis
HoIlander, one of the witnesses to the
will, who testified that he had not seen
the testatrix sign the document. This tes-
timony is considered important in view
of the recent decision that the testator or
testatrix must sign first and in the pres
ence of the witnesses, who afterwards af-
fix their signatures.

Pretty Katie Dunbar Buried
in Unconsecrated
Ground.
MORBID CROWDS CHECKED
Police Still Looking for Her
Lover and Friend to
Solve Mystery.

Katie Dunbar. the pretty twenty-year-
old eirl who died last Sunday afternoon
at the home of her companion, Lizzie
DALEY. No. 525 Communipaw avenue, was
buried thie morning. Interment took
pace in the Holy Name Cemetery on
West SIDE avenue The body was placed
in unconsecrated ground, because OF the
refusal Of the Rev. Father Smyth, pastor
of st. Joseph's Catholic Church on Bald
win avenue, to allow the body to pe
placed in eonsecrated ground Twice ne
refused request, and the family talked
Of making an appeal to Bishop O'Connor
for special dispensation in the case, but
this was not done.
The funeral was arranged to take place
at nine o'clock this morning. but even at
this early hour large crowd had gath
cred around the house al No 81 JORDAN
avenue. The family refused to allow the
crowd Of strangers to flock into the par
lor where the body lay in white casket,
to gaze at it out of morbid curiosity.
Only the immediate friends and relatives
of the family were present. There were
many wet eyes among those who gazed
insently on the features of the pretty
gir.. she was dressed in white It was
shortly after nine O'Clock when the casket
was placed in a white hearse and con-
veyed to the Holy Name Cemetery on
West Side avenue. AT the cemetery there
was also a large crowd to witness the
lowering of the casket into the grave.
1t was rumored that Protestant pas
tor would be called to officiate at the
services this morning. because of the re-
fusal of Father Smyth to take notice of
Katie Dunbar's death, but these rumors
were unfounded
County Physician Converse, who with
Drs. Buffet and Sherwood, made an au-
topsy on the girls body last Wednesday,
said this morning that he would make a
statement about the case when the in
quest was held al the Court House next
Tuesday night. The doctors are still ex-
amining the organs taken away at the
autopsy, and the report of Dr. Converse
win tell what was found in the examina-
ton. 1t is now the belief of the police
and Coroner Stephen I. Wyse, who will
conduct the inquest, that the girl was the
victim of her own carelessness. The po-
lice are still looking for Donnelly and
Spalan, the two men who were at the
Daley home where Katie Dunbar died,
but state that there is practically no evil
dence against either of them.
Coroner Wyse is collecting what evil
dence he can, which he will use at the
inquest.
