Don't fool with a cold; no one can tell what
the end may be. Pneumonia, catarrh, chronic
bronchitis and consumption invariably result from
neglected colds. Nothing can be compared with
Chamberlain Cough Remedy as a quick cure for

may be avoided.

A Few of the Prominent Merchants
who Give Trading Stamps
Throughout the U. S.

For the benefit of the uninformed. and
in denial of the assertions that merchants
handling Trading Stamps lower the stan
dard of their business in the eyes of the
intelligent buying public, and raising pri-
ces on all merchandise sold by them, we
insert just few of the prominent mer-

ing Trading Stamps with all cash pur-
chases. By perusal of this list, you will
find names of business houses, whose bus
ness is the largest in their line, the quail

are the lowest, which shows that mer-

ONE MAN IS
PUT TO WORK.
Boss Painter Succeeds in Get
ting a Job Under Way in a
State Street House.
ALL ARE DETERMINED.

There are threats of serious disturb
ances among the building trades be-
fore night. Ferdinand Wetterberg, a
member of bosses association, has a
negro at work today and all efforts on
tho partfof the painters to have him
to quit have thus far failed. The
declare that if he does
not stop before tonight they will call
EOut all the mechanics.
Mr.. Wetterberg went to Boynton
Beach yesterday and hired the negro
and put him to work painting the in
terior of a new house en- State street.
The walking delegate of the painter s
uni On had a conversation with the
fellow and thought he had him fixed,
but this morning the negro started to
work again. All efforts to see the
fellow today have failed. A delega-
ton, it is said. will meet him when
he quits Sonight. If the negro does
not quit, there will probably be a
meeting Of the delegates of all the
trades tonight to decide what action
they will take.
A letter from the amalgamated
painters feas been received 10y the local
union in which the New York men
say they will not work here while the
strike is en-.
Mr.. Wetterberg is very determined
in the matter. He has several con-
tracts to get out and if the other
painters don't want to work under
reasonable terms, he h rs one who will
and he is going to keep him at work.
1t is believed by some of the bosses
that this is the opening wedge for
breaking the strike.

IN CLUTCHES
OF THE LAW.
Woman Anaigned Before ReCOr-
der PiCkersgiII This Morning
on Charges by Dr.Ramsay.
HELD FOR GRAND JURY.

DIR. w E. Ramsay at the instance
of the Middlesex County Medical
Society, of which he is member, and
upon the advice of Prosecutor Voor-
hees, yesterday caused the arrest OF
Annie Sylinskie and Mary Briskc,
whom he charges with unlawfully
practising as midwives. The women
were arrested by Detective Peltier
yesterday morning and this morning
they were arraigned before Recorder
Pickersgin sitting as Justice of the
Peace. They plead guilty in each
case and were held in default of $500
bail to await the action of the grand
jury. Justice Piokersgill gave both
women the chance to get some c0e to
go their bonds, but the Brisko woman
refused to do so and she was COM
mitted to Jail
In an interview after the hearing
DIR. Ramsay said the 'Sylinskie woman
had been violating the law in the
manner that no had alleged IN the
complaint for the past ten years. Re-
peated warnings that they were doing
wrong has failed to stop them. DR..
Ramsay said the results of the practice
of these women have in some cases
been too repulsive to tell, let alone
print. He declared 6hat in some in
stances it had been little less than
cold blooded murder. The doctor re-
called several cases which he had
come across in his own practise and
he added the other doctors cozld re-
ate many other instances.
In both cases this morning the
women plead poverty and the Sylin-
skie women said many times she had
been fairly dragged out of bed at
night to attend some cases. This only
proves from the beginning DIR. Ram
says statements and when it isknown
that there are several others doing
the same thing, the enormity of their
offences can only be gaessed at.

Derailing Switch Threw Penn
syIvania Engine Into Embark
rnent to Prevent Collision.
BOLGER'S ACTION.
Engine had no Cars and was Moving Fast
-Bolger Says Red Light was. Set but
no Stop was Made-Englneer and Fire
men Jumped and Saved Themselves
Train Delayed Several Hours,

A serious accident, in which there
would probably have been loss Of
life, was narrowly aVerted by Thomas
Bolger, the switchman in the wash
ington street tower, on Wednesday
night about l2 O'Clock. A PenOsylva-
mia engine was approaching the Wash
ingtcn street crossing oe the Lehigh
Valley railroad as coal train on the
latter road was passing. Bolger thre ~
the derailing switch and sent the
Pennsylvania train into the ditch,
thus preventing she engine from crash
ing into the coaa train.
The Pennsylvania engine, which
had no cars, left Jersey City a little
late and was geing at full speed when
she arrived at the Washington street
crossing and, it is said, although the
signal was set red, the engineer kept
right ahead, it is declared, expecting
every second to see the white flash.
Just as she was on the derailing
switch Bolger, seeing that no stop
was to be made, and knowing that a
heavy coal train was passing at the
time, promptly threw the engine of
the track, into the embanKmant. Both
engineer and fireman jumped and thus
ESCAPED with a few injuries. Word
was dispatched to Jersey City for the
wreck train. After six hours delay
the engine was out back on the track
again.

HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS
CELEBRATED CLASS DAY
Amid Much MeHmen and Good Naud Fun the Graduates Tell
Tales on Fellow Members and jolly with the Faculty
Glass Poem by Arthur BOughtOn History by Miss
Ella DeiiChe Large Audience Present

The auditorium of the High School
was filed TO overfowing by the many
friends and relatives of the graduating
class at their class day exercises yes
terday afternoon. The rooR was dec
grated with the class colors, yellow
and black and black-eyed susans was
evidently the class fav0rite flower
for it could be seen everywhere.
Wit ard humor was the principal
feature of the exercises throughout
and after selection was played upon
the piano, Leon Kaplan, President of
the class, and who afterward proved
to be an excellent master of eeremon-
les delivered am address. He spoke as
follows:
"In behalf of the class.of '03 extend
to you all most cordiE7 welcome on
this our class day. We are happy in
deed ITO see you all here today because
we wish you to know what we are
doing here and what we intend to do
IN the future.
AS you are aware our lives are not
one round of happiness for there are
many obstacles to overcome. We ali
look forward to great deeds and ac-
complishinents in life and at the same
time are aware of the great hardships
which attend them. While we are
thinking of these difficulties we under
stand that victories obtained without
them are victories of liUGle value to
ourselves or to Others.
~Yet there are two ways in which
to enjoy our environments, the first by
little or no effort and the second by
perseverance and determination to do
or fail in the attempt. Only those
who employ the latter method enjoy
success in the true sense of the word.
For what satisfaction can one exper-
fence who has succeeded and that by
no effort of his own. He will rejoice
for short time but then he becomes
aware of the true facts, he is in a
worse position than he was before.
So you see effort, energy and perser-
verance are the time marks of sue
eessful person.
"You will ask what has that to do
with you and your class? I will tell
you how it is with us. We, twenty
one in number, the largest class of P.
A. H. S. graduates, have finished a
four year course, some of us even in
three years. Some indeed have not
done their best and were satisfied to
plod along with little or no effort
while others. am glad to say the
majority, have endeavorei to show
satisfactory results at the end of the
course. And / dare say the latter
have succeeded more or less. Do not
think for a moment that to go through
our High School course with results
of which you need not be ashamed, is
an easy matter. There are rocks to
overcome, such as Greek, Geometry,
Physics, Stenography and English,
and those who teach us these so we'll
beloved studies, too must be contend
ed with. Considering then these
difficulties, we, with the best of aid
