Municipal Ownership of Public UtilitIss
CONTINUED from Fourth Page.)

on the present case. Our hand is called
and We are forced to drop. Then why
is Mr.. Douglass anxious that influence
should be brought to bear on the mayor
or on the committee" so they shall re-
iGse to take such steps as would bring
about such referendum vote?
If were Mr.. Douglass and believed
as he says he does should still be, as
1 am now, in the ranks Of those who
demand that referendum vote shall be
granted the citizens, for then he would
be able to show these radical citizens
that they We're without sufficient back
ing to make their project a success.
That would stop all argument pro and
con, and would simply force the afore-
said radical gentlemen to get together
some sort of stable backing before they
tackled the aldermanic committees
again. Their ground would be washed
out from under them, you see.
OF course, the explanation of all this
is that Mr.. Douglass and the rest of our
opponents know only too well that the
composite citizen (who was found
wanting in Philadelphia) is ready and
has been ready for some time to inau-
gurate and successfully maintain, a sys-
tenn of public ownership of its utilities.
We are only waiting for the chance to
say so--the referendum vote. Mr.. Doug
lass and his friends are, therefore, in
sistent that the committee refuse to
recommend municipal ownership, SEEM
ingly so as to allow the citizens no
chance to vote on the matter.
Again I say let these gentlemen APP
pear in the proper place, before the
committee, where we may. thresh this
thing out in a thorough manner.

make an excellent basketball court.
Among sporting men the prospects of

will become as popular as roller polo in
the opinion Of many.

SCANDAL DEVELOPS
IN L[PER COLONY
Horrible State of Affairs In
Porto Rico Officials Sus-
pended and One Arrested.

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Aug. a.
Acting Governor Hartzell has suspend
ed DR.. Mater, superintendent of the
leper colony, and Jose Aldrich, his as
sistant, on the strength Of report Of
Acting Director of Charities Goenaga,
revealing a horrible and dangerous
state of affairs at the entrance Of San
Juan harbor.
According to this report chickens and
pigs raised by lepers had been freely
sold in the city, and goats, rabbits,
poultry and dogs had been herded in
the patients quarters in indescribable
filth. Some of the lepers had no cloth
ing. 1t was added that paper money
was circulated in the leper colony and
that as this money might possibly be
used in other parts of the island it
was considered dangerous, as likely to
cause a spread of leprosy.
Intercourse between the leper colony
and the mainland has been permitted
An old man, who was not leper, was
confined in the colony for years. All
the regulations were violated. No ply
cicians' books or financial records
showing the state of the patients funds
were kept.
Aldrich has also been arrested on the
criminal charge of transporting chick
ems from the leper colony and has been
fined $50. Heretofore, it has been be-
lieved that the leper colony was

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.

preserving Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
Is the safest and most efficient disinfec-
tant and purifier in nature but few real
ize its value when taken into the human
system for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is q remedy that the more
you take of it the better; it is not a drug
at all, but simply abSorbs the gases and
Impurities always present in the stom-
ach and inteStlneS and carries them out
of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking drinking or after eating onions
and other odorouS vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and improves
the complexion, it whitens the teeth and
further acts as natural and eminently
safe cathart1c.
1t absorbs the Injurious gases which coll
lect in the stomach and bowels; it disin-
fects the mouth and throat from the pol
son of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another, but probably the best charcoal
and the most for the money is in Stuart s
Absorbent Lozenges; they are composed
efAthe finest powdered Willow charcoal
ard other harmless antiseptics in tablet
form or rather in the form Of large, pleas
ant tasting lozenges. the charcoal being
mixed with honey
The daily use of these lozenges will soon
tell in q much improved condition of the
general health. better complexion, sweeter
breath and purer blood, and the beauty of
1t Is, that no possible harm can result
from their continued use, but on the con-
trary, great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking of the
benefits of charcoal, says: Il advise Stu
arts Absorbent Lozenges to all patients
suffering from gas in stomach and bow
els, and to clear the complexion and pur-
fly the breath, mouth and throat; also
believe the liver is greatly benefited by the
daily use of them; they cost but twenty
five cents a box at drug stores, and al
though in sope sense patent prepare
ton, yet I believe get more and better
charcoal In Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges
than in any Of the ordinary charcoal tab
lets.''

Before the gates of the fair grounds
were thrown open this morning the

possible shape, in the hope Of captur-

Only one accident occurred during

itated to the ground through the break
ing of the ropes and both of his ankles
were SO badly sprained that he was

zone of the worst features of rate
situation, such as is now existing be-
tween the Twin Cities and Chicago, is
the effect it has on state authorities
and legislatures" said a st. Paul traf-
fic man yesterday.
When the roads carry passengers
on one part Of the system at cents
mile, and on special occasions make a
less rate, in some instances, as low as
a cent, legislators are Likely to ask
why railroads cannot carry passengers
on all lines the year around at cent
a mile.
1.-The truth of the matter is that a
2-cent mile rate would be very bad
thing for the public. 1t would do
away with all other rate concessions.
The roads would have to maintain the
full rates at all times in order to make
anything. There would be no clergy
concessions, no special rates for con-
ventions and commercial travellers
would have to pay the same rate as the
occasional traveller. The rate would be
the same and in effect the year around
everywhere, regardless Of what hap
pened. -
"The result would be, I think, that
the public would lose directly, and also
indirectly; for the attendance at state
fairs, expositions conventions and the
like would be much decreased II no
special rates for them were granted
by the railroads.
eThe rates generally throughout the
United States have been lower this
summer than ever before. There have
been excursions to practically all parts
of the country at rate of cent a
mile or, less. Travel, however, has
been unusually heavy, and apparently
the year has seen heavy increase in
the amount of regular travel outside OF
tourists and those seeking vacations,
for despite the exceptionally low rates
through July, travel isanow heavier
than ever before In allp1parts of the
country" IeJ3
