The next thing in New York may
be an egg corner. The eggs laid in
the United States every year by hens
are worth fully 100000. The poul-
try sold brings $139.0OO,O0O. To haul
to market all the eggs that all the
hens lay every year would take train
of cars S66 miles long. This would
reach from Washington to Chicago.
where everybo'l y eats one egg a day.
or a total of 100000
The great American people are only
beginning to realize what a boon they
have in the great American hen. and
thoy are cultivating her and her pro-
geny. They are providing incubators
to raise her little ones that she may
not be interrupted in her work of de-
liyering the daily egg for the daily
consumption of not only the Chicagoan
but all other townsmen.-New York

Consumption is a human
weed Furnishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes inn
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consun.p-
ton is when you begin trying
70 hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption SO
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

SHOT AT HIS HOME
Wealthy Dry Goods Man of New
 York the Victim.
THE ASSASSIN IS LOCKED UP.

He Formerly Worked for the Man He
 Shot-It Is Thought He Was After
 Money and Being Refused He Pulled
 Revolver.
 New York, April 2S.-Leopold Wertheimer, a wealthy dry goods mer chant was shot three times at his home in West 115th street early to-day. He was wounded in the chest, arm and right side, and he was taken to the J. Hood Wright hospital in a serious con- dition.
 Charged with the shooting the police have arrested Joseph Simpson, 30 years old of East 121st street, New York.
 The injured man is 32 years old and and a member of the firm of Aaron & Wertheimer, dry goods merchants, who recently were burned out at their place of business in Third avenue, Harlem. Simpson, the police say, was employed there as a watchman prior to the fire. At the timeof the fire two persons were burned to death.
 The motive for the shooting is a mys- tery both to the police and the Werth- elmer family. Simpson refuses to make 8 statement. Since the fire MT Wertheimer has not been engaged in business. The firm discharged it's en- ployes, including Simpson, but he got work as a motOrman.~ A week ago he lost that position. He called on MT Wertheimer yesterday afternoon and again last night. The family think Simpson wanted money. Simpsons housekeeper said he had been act ing strangely lately.
 MT Wertheimer was not married. He lived with his parents, brother and married sister and they were in a group about him at the door of their apartment when the shooting occurred. In response to a loud knock his brother had opened the door as far as a chain on the inside would permit. Hearing talk the family gathered about the partly open door, the merchant among them. He is said to have told Simp- son he must be crazy to call at such a time and it is said that quick as a flash a revolver was drawn and three shots were fired. Simpson is then said to have walked away followed by the wounded mans brother
 Simpson was arraigned in court and held without bail for examination on Thursday. All Simpson would say was that Wertheimer owed him money for some thing he had done and had refused to pay him. Wertheimer denied this but said Simpson had demanded money from him as brother Mason.

LOCAL MINISTERS MAKE A MOVE.
ASSAULTED IN COURT ROOM.
Frank DeFeo Made an Attack Upon a
 Prisoner.

The city court room this morning was turned into prize ring for short time. Judge Peasley had. scarcely left the bench after disposing of the case against Joseph Petrie, who was charged with indecent assault, having discharged him, when Frank DeFeo, an uncle of the little girl involved in the case, jumped at Petrie as he was passing out and struck him a hard blow square on the right side of the face. Petrie staggered and would un- doubtedly have fallen but for the in voluntary support of some spectator. Sergeant Pagan. who was standing near Clerk McMahon's desk, seeing the uproar, jumped into the whirlpool of excited Italians and with sweep of his arms scattered them. DeFeo was moving toward the door, close on the heels of Petrie, when Samuel Cowan sprang after him and hit him on the left side of the face. No one could see why Cowan mixed himself up in the brawl. However before further blows could have been exchanged Sergeant Pagan took DeFeo into custody and charged him with assault.

DISQUALIFIED ATHLETES.
May Be the Outcome of Pennsylvania
 Relay Carnival

AGCAdy CdE11lNdIs
 New York, April 2S.-Wholesale dis qualification of college athletes is like ly to be the outcome of the recent Pennsylvania relay carnival, if the Amateur Athletic union lives up to the policy it adopted toward the Intercol- legiate Basketball association last sea- son.
 R. B. Hyatt, captain of the Yale basket ball team, was last season de clared a professional for playing on the Yale five which met the team of the West Fifty street Young Men s Christian association, which included D. Welzmiller, a professional. Hyatt competed against Pennsylvania in the mile relay and thereby rendered both his team mates and the Quaker team professionals.
 F. L.. OConnell of the Columbia bas- ket ball team, who also was disqual1- fed as a professional by the A. A. U., ran in the four mile relay against teams from Yale, Harvard, Pennsyl- vania, Wisconsin, Chicago and Mich1- gan,--which makes all his opponents professionals. =.-
 If the A. A. U. is logical in it's rul- ing" said Yale athlete, Sit will mean a big row, for it would never be able to enforce such wholesale disqua1ifca- tions without great opposition. If, on the contrary, it simply ignores the mat ter, it will clearly demonstrate that the A. A. U. has no more power of juris- diction over college track athletes than it had last winter over the members of the Intercollegiate Basket Ball as sociation, which defied it's rulings"

 This is the 1OSth day of the strike
 and we have once more to report that our men are still lined up in their bat tie for justice as determined as they were when we struck.
 We have received letter from the Hudson Valley trolleymen, who recent ly came out victorious in their strike
 stating that since they went back to work they have been treated finely by their company, and, to cap the climax. they have just been notified that their
 wages will be increased on une l. Ey- efyWhere throughout the country we near rom trolleymen~whOse employers seem to De doing everything they can
 to treat the men right Everywhere
 but here in Waterbury, where the men and the public have been treated all most with contempt
 There came nearly being a small
 rlot in the south end yesterday when
 two small boys angered one of the
 strike-breakers. One of the boys
 called the strike-breaker a ''scab," and the other boy made motions as if scratching his head. The trolleymen
 gave chase, followed by a crowd of youngsters. who threw stones. The youngsters escaped.
 The national convention of inc Amalgamated Association of Street Railway Employes will be held in Pitts burg next Monday. One hundred and
 twenty thousand trolleymen will be
 represented in that convention. which
 Will be in session five days. The secre- | tary of our union will represent the
 local body. The Waterbury strike will be subject for discussion at the con-
 vention, as we'll as the matter of pur- 1 chasing a supply of automobiles to be
 used in cases of strikes"
 It is evident that the trolley com- pany, or some anti-labor union body. is l keeping a strict watch on labor union
 meetings and has it's men at all of 1 them. Within a few weeks a promi-
 nent representative of some of the big
 gest corporations in the city could tell
 what had taken place at a labor union
 meeting held the evening before. And | another such member of society gave
 out to the reporters on another day q { matter which was supposed to be
 known among only half a dozen labor
