Jerome Sizes Up Merits of
the Municipalities.
EASTERN POLICE PRAISED
But Chicago, Says Attorney, Excels
Greatly in Public Spirit and Earn
estness of ReformeIs.

NEW YORK. Feb. S.-That New York
on the whole is a better city in which
TO live than Chicago is the opinion OF
District Attorney Jerome after his re-
cent visit 10 the Western metropolis.
But there are some things in which
Chicago excels-particularly the general
manifestation Of public spirit and the
disposition of reformers not to content
themselves with the passing of resolu-
tons
Mr.. Jerome was most enthusiastic In
describing the work of the Municipal
Voters League of Chicago.
1t is apparently his opinion, although
he did not say so directly, that the
Chicago Leagues methods are much
more effective than those Of the local
organization. He said:
"One reason for the greater effective
ness of popular movements in Chicago
is the comparative lack OF social or
other class distinctions The Chicago
police are TO the New York police as
raw militia to regular troops.
Absolute lack of discipline and disre-
gard Of all the rules Of soldierly bear
ing characterize the police force in

Several Persons Leave Theater When

Reference to John Brown at the Sun
day afternoon Y. NJ. c. A meeting in the
Lafayette Theater yesterday afternoon,
caused several persons in the audience
TO arise quietly and leave the building.
There was no general exodus. but the
incident was plainly marked and could
not be mistaken even by the officiating
clergyman, the Rev. CORTLAND Meyers,
Of Brooklyn. n. Y.
The preachers subject was. THE Man
of Destiny" and here is what he said
that proved distasteful to his hearers:
There was farmers boy up in New
England" said DR. Meyers" who saw IL
his duty TO break the shackles off the
neck Of the oppressed man, and he said

farmer. and he said: I will do it.. He
became a wool grower aad he said: L

he still remembered his duty as he saw
At. and he said: I will do it,
He went back TO New England. and
still had his discrimination strong within
him. Then he went down to Virginia
and fired off his ola muslet. They took
him out 70 the gallows where he was TO
be hung"
And, he continued, they swung him
Up and out into eternity. This man, my
friends. was John Brown"

They affect the general health,
they require constant attention,
and are a source of anxiety and
trouble all the time, and in some
cases highly offensive. There is
danger, too, of these places be-

Washes, salves and ointments
are good for external use, but
they can't stop the discharge or
change the condition of the
blood, and for this reason the
sore never heals permanently.
Not until the blood is purged

cleansed of all harmful sub

the effect upon the system might
prove disastrous. S. S. S. goes
