Doctor Dix IS not interested in the case

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful II \, In
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal 10
the safest and most efficient disinfectans
and purifier In nature. but few realize IT,,
value when taken into the human s,s:en
for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the rnn-, ,.o.,
take of 1t the better: it Is not a drug =,
all. but simply absOros the gases and :r,s
purities always present in the stomach
ard intestines and carries them put OF ;hs
system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking. drinking or after eating onions
end other odUrOuS vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and jrnprovsz
the complexion: it whitens the teeth and
further acts as a natural and eminentIy
safe ca athartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which coI-
lect in the stomach and bowels: il disin-
fects the mouth and throat from ths
poison of Ca;arrh.
All druggists sell charcoal In one form
or another. but probably the best char
coal and the most for the money is in
Stuart's Charcoal LozeEges: they are COM
coal and other harmless antiseptics in
tablet form. or. rather. in the form Of
large, pleasGnt-tastins IO=enges the char
coal being mixed with honey.
The daily use of these icZenges will soon
tell in Tnuch-imprOved condition OF tho
general health. better complexion. sweet
er breath and pureT blood. and the beauty
Of it 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 Charcoal LozenSes to all patients
suffering from gas In stomach and bowels.
and to clear the complexion and purify
the breath. mouth and throat. / also be-
lieye the liver IS greatly benefited by the

"ALl BIG CROP ESTIMATES
ARE VERIFIED AND MORE"

REPTRIIC SPECIAL.
New Orleans Dec. 25-Tp its summary
Of the cotton situation the Timcs-De1no-
crat will say tomorrow:
Yesterdays preliminary Ginners' report,
which included returns from nearly all the
c0lton-Erowing counties. was the biggest
and most destructive weapon ever handed
to the bears by God. man or the Gov
errment 1t Enthusiastically verified all the
seriously considered bis crop estimates
and more.
There ia no going behind the returns
when the actual stuff grown, giunod and
counted Is dealt with. 1t remains to be
seen just how rnrnstrur;sly large this mon
umenta1 crop really is. but logically there
should have been no such thing as merry
Gus short at the close of yesterdays cot
ton market. The bears had the field on
tireIy to themselves, for the enemy had
been utterly routed long before the last
gong sounded.
Days ago the talent talked Of the carly
approach Of a speculative basis, but yes
tsrday's slump of s2.G bale leaves the
question just as much open as ever.
True. the day proved a field day for
cable acceptances. True. tho farmer stood
pat and dcfiod the world True, the SPOT
parity widened and on at least one i'm
por,ant March transaction IS points on
vas recorded.
But tn. ponGeroua weight Of the ac
tunl stuff crushed al arguments for the
moment and sent the price a-spinninC over
the prccipiCe for an awful fall
Sober thought may discover many rea-
land 1T si2 cents that could not have
been advanced when the price stood l cent
higher. For instance the country mer-
chant might find it profitable TO put out
his investment money in buying cotton in
place OF investing 1t IN making advances
to the farmer with which to plant more
cotton next spring.
Meanwhile, the market Is all too rag
sed for the talent to digest conservative
thoughts.
For weeks every new proof brought to
light mas increased the crop actually
known to exist. and the process of dis
counting these increases. In the very ma
ture of the thing. has been retroactive.
The speculator-be ne the middleruan.
the miilman or the farmer-must carry
the surplus over into another crop year
and he must charge dearly for the chance
he taxes oil another big yield. Were the
farmer himself TO carry the surplus over
and for every bale he thus holds plant
the acres on which it was grown in di-
ver5ified crops, he would not only pull
himself out OF the very worst scrape it
has ever been his misfortune to get into,
but he would in the end put dollars in
his pockets as we'll.
." "hether "r not another prolonged
period of weakness is to follow the COM
pletion of the ginners' report depends upon
the attitude of the farmer and the atti-
fude OF the spinner. The price of big
crop has bottom. just as the price Of
a small crop has top. When the pro-
dicer and the consumer disagree the spec
ulator: as arbiter, enjoys his golden glory

hearing of tho charges against Bishop
Ethelbert Talbot of the Diocese Of Cen
trail Pennsylvania by the court recently
appointed by Bishop Tuttle is the state
ment made by churchmen who ar" well
posted in the canoncai laws of tho Episco-
pal Church. \ complication has developed
which they say will pu. a stop effe"tuaily
10 the proceedings of the court Of inquiry
as now constituted.
Tho trouble comes from a recent change
In the canons of the church regarding the
appointment of a court ~ that nature. In
the issue Of the Church Standard. the
church organ. which will appear to-mor-
row, the editor SAYS In reference to the
irvine Talbot case that the presiding
Bishop has constituted the Board of In
auiry under a canon which was supef-
scded by a new canon of the late general
convention
The new canon will come into operation
on January l. 1875. The Board of Inquiry
is called 10 meet on January 10. and when
it does meet on that dale it will rot be
constituted az the new canon requires. 1t
will. therefore. have no power TO proceed
with the inquiry for which it is called.
DOCTOR BODINES VIEWS
The Reverend Doctor ". Il. Bodine, who
viii be chairman of the Committee on In
Guiry. in an interview tonight considers
very important the conclusions of Doctor
Fulton. Doctor Rodine explained that uT-
der tho canon. which expires on January
]. Il court of inquiry is composed of six
teen members. The new canon provides
for 4 court or board consisting of only
ten members. These must be appointed by
certain Bishops. designated by the canon.
As the new canon is not yet in force. no
court can he chosen under its provisions,
and one chosen now to comply with it
would 1t is claimed. have no legal exist
encc now or at any other time.
Men versed In church law say that the
only courS: now left is to let the present
court meet on the day named.
II can then decide ( hat it no longer
had jurisdiction in such matters and re-
fer the matter back to Bishop Tuttie, the
Presiding Bishop. for further action.
