 man who came here from Water bury yesterday and said his name was Canp. was arrested shortly after his arrival by Chief of Police Schmidt, who knew his name was not Camp but William Saunders. Saunders had a gold watch in his possession which he was trying to dispose of. The chief thinking he had stolen the watch placed him undex' arrest. It was learned later that Saunders had stolen the watch from his sister. She stated after receiving her property that she would not prosecute her brother.

LAKE MOHONK, N. r., May 29.- The conference on international arbi- tration was opened with an address by Dr. Lyman Abbott of New York. Arbi- tration, the speaker said, had it's linn ltations; it was not the solvent of all aifaculties. The right of the free man to labor was one of the things that could not be arbitrated, and the Mon roe doctrine was another.

Tendency of The Times.

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventive measures. The
best thought of the world is being Civ
en- to the subject. 1t is easier aud
better to prevent than to cure. 1t has
been fully demonstrated that pneu-
monia, one of the most dangerous
diseases that medical men have to
contend with, can be prevented by
the use of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy. Pneumonia always results from
a cold or from an attack of influenza
(grip, and it has been observed that
this remedy counteracts any tendency
of, these diseases toward pneumonia
This has been fully proven in many
thousands of cases in which this rem
edy has been used during the great
prevalence of colds and grip in recent
years, and can be relied upon with i'm
plicit confidence. Pneumonia often
results from a slight cold when no
danger is apprehended until it is
suddenly discovered that there is fever
and difficulty in breathing and pains
in the chest, then it is announced that
the patient has pneumonia. Be on
the safe side and use Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy as soon as the cold is
contracted. 1t always cures. For

a Mirrculous Vault.

The most interesting place Of pill
Erimage in Dublin is st. Michan's
church, where the organ is still to be
seen upon which Handel Is said to have
composed his "MeSsiah." In the grave
yard is the last resting place of Robert
Emmett, and the vault at ST. Michan's
provides more grewsome thrill than
the morgue. The sexton lifts an iron
door and descends few rude steps,
Marrying light, without which the
place would be pitch dark. You follow
and find yourself in a narrow passage,
from which cell-like recesses belonging
to different families branch off Wheth-
er it is owing to the extreme dryness
of the surroundings or to some mysteri-
GUS property of the place the process of
decay has been arrested, and the fea-
lures of persons dead for two centuries
may be recognized from authentic por-
traits. Here lie the brothers Shcares,
who We're executed for their share in
the united Irish conspiracy, side by
side almost with the Earl of Leitrim,
who was murdered about thirty years
ago. The earl'S ancestors for hundreds
of years back rest in the same vault.
Perhaps the StrangcSt thing about the
vault is the fact that, apart from the
weird sensation, there is nothing Of
fensive in the surroundings.-Lond
