Two cases of the highest impor,
lance In view of the slot machine
war which Is being waged at var
ious points over the State, have
been decided by the supreme court
which Is In session here.
The cases are both from Mercer

writ of prohibition which was
awarded the slot machine operators

bidding the municipal authorize
interfering In any manner with the
operations of the machines. Judge
Sanders Is sustained by the
supreme court, and the writ of pro-
hibition continued
The decision Is of the highest I'm
portance. as 1t gives the slot ma
chine operators tull sway In the
operation of the machines, unless
the matter Is taken up by the
prosecuting attorneys of the va
rIous counties In behalf of the

Stained Glass In the Home.

Among materials used in interior
decoration stained glass and its sub,
stitutes have been quietly but sure
ly finding foothold in professional
and popular taste, says the Wall,

and an imitation of stained glass
somehow leads up to the idea OF no.

excellent results in the decoration

Household Hints.

The tone Of a piano is much i'm
proved when the instrument /:
moved away from the wall of {
room.
Some people say there is nothing
SO good for restoring silk as strong
black tea. The silk is sponged witt
the tea, then pressed.
The best way to clean doormats l:
to turn them upside down and give
them a vigorous stamping with the
feet. This frees the dust better
than shaking the mat.
To disinfect and deodorize sinh
mix little charcoal with water anC
put this in the sink.
Tea should be kept in either
tin or glass vessel which has lid

CONDENSED STORIES.
How Clay Rebuked an III hammered
Student at Yale.

How Clay Rebuked an III mannered
Student at Yale.
The late General Cassius NJ. Clay
was a graduate of Yale, member
of the class of 80. Sometimes he
would tell of rebuke that he once
gave at Yale to an .impertinent
classmate.
He was sitting in his room writ
ing letter to a young girl. Three
or four of his friends we're with
him. They amused themselves sm2k-
ing and card playing, much as young
men at college amuse themselves to-
day, but there was one youth, seat
ed at the table beside Clay, who pre-
tended to be absorbed In book,
whereas in reality he was slyly read
inc the somewhat ardent sentences
that flowed from the Kentucky stu
dents pen.
Clay suddenly became aware of
his improperly, but he made no
sign. Only he wrote in his letter:
"I would be more frank than l
AMI would say more than this
but there is an impudent cad look
ing over my shoulder, reading every
word l write"
The youth referred to in that
way paled. He leaped to his feet.
"Clay," he said, ''you are liar
haven't been looking over your
shoulder, and l haven't read a sylla-

is a trife less severe. The Gothic
style is distinguished by beautiful

ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
The Beauty and Lasting Qualities OF
Inlaid linoieums.

Inlaid linoleums are to other llno-
Leums what Persian rugs are to ordl-
nary worsted carpets, the patterns
infinitely more beautiful, their last
ing qualities five times as great.
The materials used in their compost
ton are the same as in other limo
eums, finely ground cork mixed
with oxidized oil and subjected to
enormous pressure.
But instead Of the patterns being
printed on the surface they are SOL
idly pieced in and go right through
to the back. You can wash and you
can scrub it, scrape your boots over
it day in, day out, or lay it out in a
blistering sun, and the pattern Will
act, for it cannot, come off; neither
can it fade.
This makes it particularly desir-
able for public places where there
are heavy travel and frequent clean
ing.
The manner of making them per-
mits the reproduction of patterns
resembling parquetry flooring, china
thing, mosaic work, oriental rugs,
brussels carpet, practically any kind
of design that taste dictates, for
the material absorbs and retains the
most delicate colors as perfectly as
uool does

REMARKABLE SUCCESS
Of a New Catarrh Cure,

A large and constantly increasing ma iority of the American people are catarrh sufferers. This is not entirely the result of our changeable climate, but because modern investigation has clearly proven that many diseases. known by other names, are really catarrh. Formerly the name catarrh was applied almost exclu- sively to the common nasal catarrh, but the throat, stomach, liver. bladder, kid neys and ihtestines are subject to ca- tarrhal diseases as well as the nasal pass ages.
 In fact. wherever there is mucous mem- brane there is a feeding ground for ca tarrh.
 The usual remedies lnhalers, sprays touches or powders, have been practi- cally failures, as far as anything more cause they simply dry up the mucous secretions, without having the remotest effect upon the blood and liver which are the real sources of cate-rhal diseases.
 It has been known for some years that the radical cure of catarrh could never come from local applications, but from an internal remedy acting on the blood and expelling the catarrhal poison from the system
 A new internal preparation, which has been on the market only short time, has met with remarkable success as a genu- inc radical cure for catarrh.
 It may be found in any drug store, sold under the name of Stuart's Catarrh Tab lets, large pleasant-tasting lozenges com posed principally of antseptic ingredl- ents Blood Root, Red Gu and similar catarrh specifics.
 Dr. Ainslee. in speaking of the new ca- tarrh cure, says: T have tried the new catarrh remedy, Stuart's Catarrh Tab- let's upon thirty or forty patients with re- markedly satisfactory results. They clear the head and throat more effectual- ly and lastingly than any douche or in- haler that I have ever seen, and although they are what is called patent medicine and sold by druggists, I do not hesitate to recommend them as I know them to be free from cocaine and opiates. and that even little child may use them with en- tire safety"
 Any sufferer from nasal catarrh. throat or bronchial trouble catarrh of the stom- ach, liver or bladder will find Stuarts Catarrh Tablets remarkably effective pleasant and convenient. and your drug gist will tell you they are absolutely free from any injurious drug.

DRUG STOCK FOR SALE.
pr. J. c. LeGrande Receiver for Elam
 Drug Go.

Dr. J. c. Le Grande, receiver. Is offer ing for sale the entire stock of the Elan Drug Co.,, which firm was recently placed in his hands as receiver. The stock and business ought to be a very desirable piece of property, because at the time of their insolvency they had well-estab- lshed wholesale drug business. The firm possessed every requisite for conducting a first-class drug business and had on their books about five hundred good cus- toners throughout this and adjoining states.
 Several persons have signifed ther anxiety to get hold of the business, and the fact that it is now placed on the mar ket by Dr. Le Grande will be welcome news to those interested in its purchase.
 An inventory of the stock showed that it comprises about s4O,000 worth of goods, and in the stock is a very large quantity of the specialties which have been so ex- tensively advertised by the Elam Drug Co sts
