An Impostor.

A large number of young ladies in
Hazeton and surrounding towns have
been victimized by clever shark.
This individual goes from house to
house canvassing for a stamping out
fit. In addition to the outfit he
guarantees that lady will call to give
lessons on the art of stamping. He
is glib-tongued fellow; this combined
with his polished demeanor wins him
many fair customers. He asks that
each customer furnish $3.50 in ad-
vance, promising that lady will call
In the course of few days to fulfill
the requirements Of the contract. The
agent collects the money, but the
lady fails to call, and the customers
are simply duped. People should
beware of such characters and refuse
to entertain their swindling PROPOSE,
tions.

The popular view Of the relation of the
blood to human character and conduct is
marked in many familiar expression. We
speak Of there being "bad blood" between
people at enmity, of "blue blood as ndi-
eating ancestry, of "black blood" as des.
cribing treacherous nature, and in many
another phrase mark our belief that in the
mental, moral and physical man, "the
blood is the life." The one basis of health.
full, happy and useful life is pure blood.
With the blood pure, disease has no perma.
nent lodging place in the system For this
reason the use of DR. Pierce's Golden Med.
ical Discovery rds the oody of diseases
which have their origin in impurity of the
blood. 1t absolutely purifes the blood,
carrying off the waste and poisonous matter,
increasing the action of the blood making
glands, and building up The body by supply
ing the blood in quantity and quality such
as is essential to condition of health. 1t
cures ninety eight people out of every hund.
red who give it fair trial.

A FIERY DISCUSSION
Senator Beveridge's Sharp
Criticism Brings on Storm.
The FILIPINO QUESTION CONE OVER.
House Adjourns For Third Consecu-
tive Day ont of Respect TO n Dead
Member--Death of Represents
tive salmon of New Jersey.

WASHINGTON, May For almost
four hours yesterday Il fiery discussion
of the Philippine situation ragged in the
senate. 1t was started by Mr.. Bever-
idge Qnd.), who made some sharp
structures on the members of the oppo-
stion because, as he said, they per-
sisted in telling in their speeches only
one side of the story. While he admit
ted that some outrages had been COM
mitted by American soldiers in the
Philippines 1t was true, too, that un-
paralleled kindness had been shown by
the American troops to Filipino pris-
pners and Filipino wounded. Food
and medicine, he said, had been shared
with them, and they had been succored
on the battlefield and cared for ten
derly in the hospital. While saying
that the omission to tell this side of
the story by the Democrats was unin-
territorial, he suggested that II was un-
fair to make an arraignment of the
American soldier and not tell both
sides.
The house adjourned Immediately
after the reading of the Journal out of
respect to the memory of Representa-
tive ]. S. Salmon IN. j.. This is the
third consecutive legislative day on
which the house has paid II similar
tribute TO one of its deceased members.
Never before in the history of the
house have three desks been draped at
the same time. 1t was coincidence
remarked upon by members yesterday
in connection with the deaths Of
Messrs. Cummings, Otey and Salmon
that Mr. Cummings was appointed on
the committee to attend the Rosecrans
obseques at Arlington, that Mr.. Otey
was appointed on the committee to at
tend the funeral of Mr.. Cummings and
that Mr.. Salmon was designated to at

NEW YORK, May presidents of
the leading anthracite coal roads as
well as some of the more important in
dependent producers held a conference

yesterday. According to report the

tive heads of the Lackawanna, Della

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

proof that pacific action will be taken
mt the miners convention in Scranton

made a lieutenant in 1862 and first saw
sea service on the ironclad Patapsco.
He was an executive officer when she
was sunk by torpedo in Charleston
harbor in 1863.
In that emergency he showed the
coolness that afterward distinguished
him. His feet caught in the boarding
net as the ship sank. He waited until
the first rush of water was over, then
disentangled himself and hoated to the
surface.
He served on the European station
aud at the Naval academy after that
and finally became superintendent at
Annapolis in 1886. He then had low
er rank than any of his predecessors in
charge of the academy.
He next became chief of ordnance as
captain and was considered the
greatest ordnance expert in the navy.
He was at the head of the court that
investigated the blowing up of the
Maine in Havana harbor and again
demonstrated his coolness.
President Mckinley chose him as a
commander of the fleet in Cuban wa
IPES at the DTtuhluS Out VI llc cpdiish
war. He was moved to that position
over the heads Of many men of higher
rank, for he was only captain.
1t was believed the controversy that
was waged so fiercely after the war as
to who was entitled to the credit of
the Santiago victory had much to do
with the failure of his health.
He was retired as "A rear admiral in

ZOE CREAM SOARING.
rhe Warm Weather Delicacy Keeping Close
Company with Beef.

Ice cream and ice cream soda prom
ise to be real luxuries this summer
and from the present outlook the
chappies will have to pay well for the
cooling delicacies for the sweet things.
In some of the eastern cities the
prices of ice cream have already start
ed TO ascend skyward and the owners
of gardens and saloons are holding
consolation meetings with the butchers
that the beef trust has nearly been
put out of the business.
Some of the leading creameries Of
Philadelphia and vicinity have mott
fed their customers that cream has
advanced six cents a quart wholesale
and that it will cost the ice cream
dealers and Others twenty-five cents
hereafter. They assign as the reason
Of this advance in price the scarcity
of cream and milk. This IN turn is
caused, they state, by the high price
OF feed for COWS, the great demand
for cream for butter making, no butter
being stored and hardly sufficient
being made to supply the markets,
and the fact that many farmers have
disposed of their cows as beef to Sc
cure the high prices for meat that
now prevail.
There has been no advance in
Bloomsburg yet, but with the price
going up all around US we would not
be surprised to hear of an advance in
the price at any time. Cream is
scarce, and as local dealer puts it
"good cream is very scarce The
quality of cream delivered about town,
of late has been of notlceably in
feror quality, but dairymen, claim
that it is as good as they can afford to
furnish for the price.
A canvass OF the state as well as
Maryland, New York, New Jersey
and Delaware has been made and it
is found that practically the entire
supply of cream is monopolized by
the creameries and that it is hardly
sufficient to supply the demands made
upon it. 1t is thought that the price
may go down shortly as the COWS will
soon be put on grass diet.

The CLOSE Fisted Fellows Cont Belong
to the Berwick of Today.

The boom that has struck Berwick
is material one and that borough
expects the busiest Summer in her
history. Along with the boom comes
the fact that Berwick, by reason of
the increase in postal revenues, is
entitled to free delivery. But she is
likely to be dllatory in securing this
advantage owing to the ishortsighted-
ness of some of he's citizens.
One of the requirements Of free de-
livery is that the houses in the town
be Systematically numbered; and
another that the streets be properly
walked. 1t is the latter require
ment that threatens free delivery in
Berwick, because it is the worst side
walked town in this section of the
State, and there does not seem to be
any movement towards bettering this
condition OF things.
There are number of property
owners in Berwick who live with the
idea that anything will do only so the
taxes are not increased. They are
willing that increased business and
new industrial plants shall enhance
the value of their property, but they
do not want to contribute an addi-
tional cent towards bringing the town
up to the improved standard. There
are good, honest people among them,
too; but they belong to the old Ber
wick, not to the new Berwick
