Should Take His Medicine Like a MAJ

Should Take His Medicine Like Man.
Boston. Dec. 10.--With reference to
the statement of Rev. Dr. Charles A.
Eaton. of Cleveland, that he assisted
in having introduced Mrs. c. l.. Chad
wick and Herbert d. Newton. though
he was not we'll acquainted with the
woman, Mr. Newton said;
"All I've got 10 say is this-I don't
see why. simply because a man hap
pens to be a minister Of the gospel, he
should not step forth in man fashion
and take his medicine like the rest OF
US"
Concerning the crediting Of Mr.. New
ton with hoping for a settlement
through John d. Rockefeller, on the
assumption that he would not wish TO
have his pastors name dragged into
the affair, Mr.. Newton said: There is
no truth I'm that report. / have had
hopes Of a settlement, but not through
Mr.. Rockefeller. Mrs. Chadwick repre-
sented to me that she had certain Sc
ourlties in the care Of Irl Reynolds,
and l was shown an afidavit signed
by him, stating that he had in his pos
session stocks and bonds belonging to
her valued at s5OOO,0O0 and upwards.
don't understand that there is any
question concerning the genuineness
Of this ailldavit, and on that / rest my
case"
Mr.. Newton admitted that HIS chanot
OF getting anything from the tangle
OF Mrs. Chadwicks affairs Is slim.
Perhaps that strong box held by Irl
Reynolds in the vaults OF the Wade
Park Bank in Cleveland may contain
ample funds to recoup you. Mr.. New
ton" suggested the reporter.
The banker smiled grimly. "Whai
would you give for those securities
on a gambler" he asked.

plsaarees win Counsel.


New York, Dec. 10.-After disagree
ments with her counsel as TO whether
she should waive examination and go
TO Cleveland, Mrs. Chadwick finally
consented 10 remain In the Tombs, but
expressed the hope that she might
leave there tonight
Mrs. Chadwick had made up her
mind to ignore the advice of her local
counsel, Messrs Carpenter and Pow
ers, and go 10 Cleveland to stand trial
there, when she received a telegram
from her Cleveland counsel. Judge AL
baugh. asking her not to return TO
Cleveland just yet.
Mr.. Carpenter declined to discuss
the alleged Carnegie notes. or 10 say
positively whether Mrs. Chadwick
would waive examination or not
Neither would he say anything about
the report that the alleged securities
of Mrs. Chadwick had been examined
and found to be worthless.
District Attorney Sullivan made the
announcement that he had made all
the necessary arrangements with Mr.
Carnegie to have the latter present at
the preliminary hearing of Mrs. Chad
wick in New York city, December IT,
The idea was to confront Mrs. Chad
wick with Mr.. Carnegie, whose name
is alleged to have been forged to the
several notes.
The placing OF Mr.. Carnegie on the
witness stand was intended as a sur
prise to the other side, and the an
nouncement of this intention was only
made by Mr.. Sullivan after he learned
that Mrs. Chadwick intended waving
examination in New York and would
be brought TO Cleveland.

Victims Of catarrh Of the head, catarrh
Of the throat, catarrh Of the lungs,
catarrh of the stomach, catarrh OF the

sows the seed of chronic catarrh within

This is 50 true that few grip sufferers

Co.'s weekly review Of trade says:
Business continued to improve, de-
spite the difficulty of low temperature
and high prices. Weather conditions
have been singularly unpropitious,
deep snow retarding distribution Of
merchandise and excessive cold delay
ing the opening Of spring trade and
structural work. Yet retailers are max
ing extensive preparations and plans
are submitted for numerous building
operations. Prospects have improved
on the Pacific coast. where much
needed rain has fallen. and reports
from the south indicate exceptional
prosperity. Buyers continue to arrive
at the leading markets. but the vol
ume of trade Is restricted by high
prices. particularly for Gotten goods
1t may be said with some degree Of
assurance that the iron and steel In
dustry has made further progress in
the right direction and the prospect is
brighter than 1t has been at any time
during the winter.

States are 236 against 24O last week,
