"There are so many preparations
on the market, all guaranteed as
specifics for certain ailments
which af1ict mankind, that to Gull
a genuine from the useless is al
most impossible. So many people

be depended upon he should make
that fact known so that others

Gas
Engines

How many people, when buy
ing gas engines stop to consider
complications? There are few.
If they would only investigate
the different makes before decid-
ing on the purchase there would
be fewer repair shops over the
land. A spring here and gear
there, and loaded down with a lot
of inventions, most people say,
"That must be a good engine. +"
Well, they buy it. In a little
while, to keep it going, they COM
mence to tinker, and the more
time and money spent the more
she gets out Of whack. Then
they realize that it takes an ex-
pert to do anything with it. Now
if they had only bought a simple
engine-one that would not run
because it did not have a lot of
fixtures they could have avoided
the expense and delay.
Our advice to you is not to
overlook the "Stoner" when you
are thinking of buying an engine,
as we can prove to you that it Is
the simplest engine built, and we
feel satisfied that it viii give you
but very little trouble. Repair
shops all hate the "Stoner, as it
gives them but little work.

DEMONSTRATION IN FORCE
FRENCH OFFICIALS CONSIDER MO-
ROCCAN SITUATION Ex-
TREMELY GRAVE.

Paris, Dec 24-The foreign office
considers the situation in Morocco eX-
tremely grave. The sultans dismissal
of his French and other military adj
visers has been followed by number
OF other acts showing his intention to
interrupt the execution of the French
policy. Accordingly the French minis
ter at Tangier has been instructed 10
secure the immediate withdrawal from
the Moroccan capital of the French
consul, the commander and all the
members OF the military mission and
all French citizens unless the sultan
vacates his previous offensive action
and offers a suitable explanation. The
French minister has been instructed
to communicate this to the sultan at
the same time he notifies the consul,
military men and citizens to prepare
to depart. The officials here say that
no definite military or naval steps have
yet been taken as these await the sui
tan's response to the minister's de-
mand, but a demonstration in force
will follow If a suitable explanation
and reparation are not promptly given.

WHILE AWAITING VERDICT.
Nan Patterson Completely CollaPses
in the Tombs.


New York, Dec. 24.-Nan Patterson
collapsed in the Tombs during the
morning so completely that efforts OF
the matron, the warden and her fatnel
to help her were of no avail and Dr.
Levin, the physician at the prison.
had to be called She was revived
considerably. but it was feared that
she would collapse again when she
went to the courtroom.
Miss Patterson asked for news from
the jury. She became hysterical while
waiting for an answer and the Tombs
warden went to see her. He assured
her that there was no news and that
she could not possibly hear anything
until it was announced in the court
room before her.
Instead of assuring her this news
made her worse. She had a severe
attack of hysteria.
How can | ever face those dreadful
twelve men again." the warden said
she repeatedly cried, the fear of go-
ing back TO the court overshadowing
everything else.
DR.. Levin, the Tombs physician, was
sent for in hurry and prescribed for
her. About this time ser father ar
rived at the Tombs. Owing to her
state of collapse he was allowed to go
up to see her With his presence and
the efforts of the physician she inn
proved considerably in short time.
AS soon as she was somewhat COM
posed she was led across the Bridge
of Signs" to the criminal court build
ing. She was taken to the pen" in
the court building to wait until YER
diet had been reached or some con-
clusion had been arrived at.

THROUGH THE HAGUE COUNCIL
Future Steps Necessary for Proposed
Peace Conference.

Washington, Dec. 24.-That the fur
ther interchange of views preparatory
to the formulating of a programme for
another peace conference at The
Hague be effected through the inter
national bureau under the control OF
the permanent administrative council
of The Hague is the suggestion Of
fered by Secretary Hay in a second
circular note to the powers made pub
lie at the state department during the
day, The note was dispatched a week
ago, but its contents were withheld
until it had reached the various
American embassies and legations
abroad The secretary summarizes
the replies of all the powers TO his
note of Oct u and expresses the
qualification of the president at the
cordial reception of his invitation.
Having taken this initial step, how
ever, the secretary says the president
feels that he has gone as far as he
appropriately can and that with the
general acceptance of his invitation in
principle "the future conduct of the
affair may fitly follow its normal chan
nels.'
Regarding the conditional accept
ance of Russia Secretary Hay says
that while the postponement which
this reply necessitates is to be regret.
ted this government recognizes the
weight of the motive which induced 1t

TO LEGALiZE POOLING.
Representative Cooper viii Offer al
Amendment to His Bill.

Washington. Dec. 24.-Representa
tive Cooper of Wisconsin, joint author
of the Cooper-Quarles bill which is en-
gaging a considerable share of atten-
tion from those who are interested in
the enactment of legislation that will
abolish the existing evils of interstate
commerce, says that he is prepared
to advocate in connection with his
OWL measure an amendment which
will legalixe pooling by the railways.
Il agree cordially with Secretary
Morton's views ON this subject, said
Mr.. Cooper Il can see no good rea-
son why anybody should be concerned
about what the railways do with their
earnings so long as they are not de-
rived from extortionate rates. II
rates are just and equitable ii seems
to me to be to the advantage of the
shipper to permit the railways to pool
their earnings.

a provision can pass the house of rep

New York, Dec. 24.--Dividend and
interest disbursements TO be made III
January will break all records, &C
cording to statistics collected by the
Journal of Commerce. The compila,
tion indicates total of about $780,
100000 to be paid out by leading rail,
road and industrial corporations, local
banks, trust companies, traction com.
panies and the national government.
This is nearly $3,000,000 larger than
In January year ago. when total pay.
ments of similar institutions were
about $133,S00,000. The industrial
payments show considerable falling
OF because of reduction and passing

than Offset by increased payments on
the part of railroads and local trac.
tion companies.

walls. shey had kind of pocket at the bottom, like poachers net, and I was soon to see the use of them. These preparations completed, the rat-catcher came to my side. and we stood there in the dark with bated breath, making no movement.
 Presently there was a sound of pat tering footsteps, followed by scurrying and hurrying, and strange little squeaks and grunts. The room seemed suddenly to be alive, but I could see noothing, for the lantern was shut, and not a glimmer of light came into the room. Then in moment the bulleye flashed out, and roved to and fro upon the floor It revealed a horrid creepy sight. There were hundreds of rats there, hustling and jostling one another, and snifing about the room in search Q flood. I have never seen anything
 so werd and horrible as that mass of hairy, quivering flesh and those hum dreds of wild. fierce eyes.
 Suddenly the rat-catcher broke the silence by a shrill whistle, followed by 9 strange, ripping, beat-like cry, which he repeated again and again. At the sound the rats seemed scared out of theri wits, and stampeded toward the passage and the corners of the room. But they came in contact with the nets, an as they bounded against them flop ped down into the pockets from which htey cold not escape. The rat-catcher was now rushing about the room like a demon whistling and screetching that wild cry and beating the rats toward the nets with his hazel wand, chasing them from behind the furniture and out of the corners. It seemed to me like nightmare, and I confess my flesh was cold with the horror of it.
 When he ceased the nets were full of squirming squealing creatures. And now full of cheerful talk, the rateatch- CT conveyed them to the cages, which they half filed
 Three hundred, reckon" said the man. Not bad catch for small place like this.''
 The rat-catcher sells large numbers of the little brown beasts to the dog fanciers of shoreditch, and to sport ing gents" as he calls those in the country places within 20-mile radius of London. But the demand does not nearly equal the supply, and the ma jority of the rat-catcher's victims meet with a speedy death.-New Orleans Pic |ayune.

The Howe X Stetson Company.

1 found atterward by examining the mans books, which he produced at an- other time for my inspection that he earned between $500 and E600 q year regular income out of this strange pro- fession. not including the amount he got for selling the rats, after he had caught them, at the rate of 4d apiece.
 So that, all told, he must make very nearly GS0O year. Not a bad income! The profession of rat catching is more profitable than many another on a high level of public esteem.
 His happy hunting grounds" are in the warehouses and wharves down by the river, which are literally invaded by a great army of hungry rats.
 The city rat-catcher does not go touting for jobs. He sends round his
 cards to the business houses and shop keepers, and when they want him 1 they send for him. With many of the lwharfingers, hotel keepers, boarding
 house proprietors, restaurant managers
 and lage shopkeepers he has yearly contracts and make a tour of inspection every six months, clearing out any rats that may have bred during his absence. The rat-catcher's appliances consist of two, great cages covered with white cloth a number of closely knitted nets, a hazel wand, bullseye lantern, and felt-soled shoes. He works always by night. met him one evening as he was going into the back door of ares taurant in Newgate Street, just as St.. Pauls was booming out 9 o'clock. He looked the very strangest figure in the moonlight, as he stood there with a great, white-covered cahe slung on either side of him.
 If you'll be very quiet you can come with me-" he said But it means standing still for an hour or more, and holding your breath as much as you can. But you'll see some fun, I promise you.'
 So we went in together, and found ourselves in a long room full Of little tables, pitch dark, except for the rav- ing eye of the rat-catcher's lantern. It was the dinning room of the restaurant, and reminiscent odors of the days meals filled the close atmosphere with a strewn with crumbs, and on the counter there were greasy dishes of half-finish- ed food. They had probably been left there purposely, in view of the rat catcher's nocturnal visit. The noise of our entry had, perhaps, sent the rats
 back to their lair, or else they had not lyet come out, for there was no sign of lone. I stood quite still n a corner, and watched the rat-eatcher's movements. Swiftly and noiselessly he unwrapped his cages and rolled his nets. Then | ] l.z el kI. | ter over the entrances and round the
