And Other Itching, Burning and
 SCaly ETupfOls.
Instant Relief and Speedy Cure Afforded by
Clticura Soap, Ointment and Pills
 When All Else Fails.
COMPLETE TREATMENT, $I.O0.

The agonizing itching and burning of the skin, as in eczema; the frightful scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss of hair and crusting of the scalp, as in scaled head; the facial disagreement, as in pimples and ringworm; the awful suf- fering of infants and the anxiety of worn-out parents, as in milk crust, tet- ter and salt rheum, all demand rem edy of almost superhuman virtues to successfully cope with them. That Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills are such stands proven beyond all doubt. No statement is made regarding them that is not justified by the strongest evidence. The purity and sweetness, the power to afford immediate relief, the certainty of speedy and permanent cure, the absolute safety and great economy, have made them the standard skin cures and humour remedies of the civilized world.
 Bathe the affected parts with hot water and Cuticura Soap, to cleanse the surface of crusts and scales and soften the thickened cuticle. Dry, without hard rubbing, and apply Cuticura Oint- ment freely, to allay itching, irritation and inflammation, and soothe and heal, and, lastly, in the severer forms, take Cuticura Resolvent Pills, to cool and cleanse the blood. A single set Is often sufficient to cure the most torturing, disfguring and humiliating skin, scalp and blood humours, with loss of hair, when all else fails.

WILL HAVE TO PAY
 FOR BURNED NOTES
SUPREME COURT DECIDES THAT 5oNDsMEN OF MIR. sMYTHE, FORMER SUPERINTENDENT OF N. o. MINT, ARE LIABLE.

Washington, January 2s.-The question of the liability of Andrew M. smythe, late superintendent of the United States mint at New Orleans for s25,O0O in treasury notes, which were lost by him while In his custody. was decided by the Supreme court of the United States adversely to MT. Smythe. The claim was made on his behalf that the notes were burned, and 1t was urged that as the notes were only promises to pay the government the notes had in reality lost nothing by their de- struction.
 The court, however. refused to accept this view, holding Smythe and his sure ties for the entire amount lost. Justice Peckham dissenting, holding that the government had sustained no actual loss, and as the bond was only for the pur- pose of indemnity the government could not collect upon it, under the circum- stances.

INDEPENDENTS

UNEMPLOYMENT QUESTION
Several Miners Were Refused Work for Alleged Criminal Acts During Strike, But Such Acts
 Were Never Proven.

Philadelphia, January 26.-The attention of the anthracite coal strike commission was today directed to the claims and charges of the independent operators the first case presented being that of G. b. Markle & Co, whose collieries are located fin and about Jeddo, in the Lehigh re- zion. Ten witnesses for the company were examined, the more important being Sidney Williams, general superintendent of the firm; Gertrude Martin, profess slonal nurse in the employ of the com pany, and Frank Walk, a general store keeper at Jeddo.
 Superintendent Williams testimony was based upon the company's answer to the miners demand. He was subjected to rigid cross examination by Attorney Dar- row. He said that although thirteen men were refused unemployment by the com pany for alleged criminal acts during tie recent strike, he had no knowledge that any of them had ever been guilty of any criminal action.
 Notices Served on Them.
 Twelve of the men were served with notices of eviction on October I. The
  ant of the company. On November the evlctions took place.
 Cross-examlned, Williams said he was present at all the eyictlons. None of the twelve tenants, he said, had paid any rent during the proceeding of the strike. He was asked if he had observed any cases of illness in the families who were compelled to leave their homes, and re- tr ba In nno nf- tWo pa witness continued, the sheriff had asked an extension of few hours to permit the families 10 search for another dwelling. Counsel for the company had, however, advised against this course. as he be- lieved 1t to be a ruse to obstruct the legal process.
 Was any man refused reinstatement because he was an officer or member of the union?" the witness was asked
 Witness replied: No" He gave the same answer to ths question: Was any man refused employment for other than personal reasons?'
 Cared for the Sick.
 Miss Martin told of the efforts of Mr. and Mrs. Markle to care for the sick em- ployes, and said that where cases of nc- cesslty were discovered, patients were fur nished with medicines and nourlshing food free of charge.
 Frank Walk described the operations of the company store system The prices of articles, he said, were about the same as those charged by other dealers, but admitted that none but employees were given credit. He said that after the company store system had been abolished and he had resorted to the cash basis, he lost two-thirds of his customers.
 Before you gave credit" said Attorney Mccarthy, "a man was compelled to pledge his salary to you, was he not?''
 "No he signed an agreement authorizing the deduction from his wages of the amount of his purchase"
 Dr. William H. Deardorff told of the company doctor system and Gottlieb Fill Ter, a coal and Iron policeman, said the evicted men, so far as he knew, were law abiding citizens.

Women come this store to learn what is going to be stylish. We. forecast it with certainty, that they well know may be de- pended upon, and the result is that at the first showing of Spring goods here, there is invariably large and enthusiastic crowd.
 We, therefore, expect that the present week will witness a great throng in the Wash Goods aisle. There are many new and beau-- tiful things to be seen. Although they are not all in yet, still the display is sufficiently large, and important enough, to warrant call ing it An Informal Opening.
