THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal Is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize it's value when taken into
the human system has the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
YOU take of it the better; it is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestineS and carries
them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural and
eminently safe cathartc.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
diSinfeCtS the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges; they
are composed of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal and other harmless
antiseptics in tablet form or rather in
the form of large, pleasant tasting
lozenges, the charcoal being mixed
with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved con-
dition of the general health, better
complexion, sweeter breath and purer
blood, and the beauty of it is that no
possible harm can result from their
continued use, but on the contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician. in speaking of
the benefits of charcoal, says: "I ad-
wise Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels, and to clear the COM
plexion and purify the breath, mouth
and throat; 1 also believe the liver is
greatly benefited by the daily use of
them; they cost but twenty-five cents
box at drug stores, and although in
some sense a patent preparation, yet
l believe l get more and better char
coal in Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges
than in any of the ordinary charcoal
Aablets.'

Boys

All that saved ]. H. Childers of S44
Wall street from death when struck by
Vernon car No. $40 at Central avenue
and Thirty-fourth street last evening
was stone placed on the track by
mischievous boys.
AS it is, Childers is suffering greatly
from the shock and possibly internal
injuries. No injuries Of a serious ma
ture were found upon examination by
the physicians at the receiving hospital
last evening.
According to witnesses, Childers was
riding his bicycle south on Central ave-
nue. shortly before o'clock, but was
between the car rails. A south-bound
car slowly crept upon Childers, who is
an elderly man. He did not notice the
approach of the car until he heard the
gong. The nearneSs of the car caused
him to become terror stricken and he
lost control of his bicycle.
When he saw the car, Childers threw
up his hands and almost at the same
instant the car struck him. Instead of
crushing Childers beneath the wheels
the car suddenly jolted into stop.
Upon examination it was found that
the car with brakes set had been
stopped by the obstruction on the track
1T was the stone on the track was
the expression from all who witnessed
the accident. 1t saved the mans life
and prevented him from being crushed
beneath the car wheels. Childers re-
gained consciousness while being taken
to the receiving hospital and later was
removed to his home.
Struck by Electric Car
While crossing the old San Pedro
Pacific Electric line at Thirty-eighth
street last evening Raymond Kellogg
of 557 South Wall street was struck by
an inbound car and sustained slight
bruises about the back and head. Ac-
cording to the statement of the lad at
the receiving hospital he was in hurry
to deliver message and attempted to
cross the track ahead of the car, mis-
judging speed and distance of the car.

years and years for him." AYERS Mrs.
Vandeventer.
And as to this, Inspector Cross says
he has occasion TO believe that the low
ing couple are already married.
"a Funny Mix-Up."
"He tried to insure her life for $4,000
and they both swore they were mar
ried," says the inspector. and her
own brother-in-law told the insurance
company, for which he was the agent,
that they were married. Now, that's a
funny mix-up."
In his checkered career Carlton has
posed as a physician, chemist, expert
lister, expert chef and owner of a Bra
lillian coffee plantation. He has boast
ed of his keen knowledge Of medicine,
and has said he know how to cultivate
enough germs to supply the borough of
Brooklyn for the rest OF it's natural
life.
Carlton has maintained a marvellous
bravadO since his arrest. 1t is a char
acteriStic that is one Of his strongest
points. Nothing seems to nettle him,
and he affects a good humor at all
times that, with man under such in
tense cross-fire, is hard to understand.
Lack Of nerve has never for moment
led him to a false step since his ar
rest. Confronted at Raymond street
jail by Mile Peterson, Jersey City
woman whom he caught in his spidery
web under promise Of marriage, only
to forsake her for another, he gazed
coldly at her.

know me-" implored the heartbroken
woman, whose life had been the tor
ment of thousand bells since he left
her
II never saw you," declared Carlton,
his eyes dropping to escape her tears.
She tainted, and on being revived her
agonizing screams sent chills to the
hearts Of the callous prison guards.
Carlton gazed upon the creature be-
fore him unmoved.
Fred, ! love you. ! don't want to
prosecute you"
Take her away. She's crazy" COM

And the woman in CONFUSION OF
Mysteries, was taken to hospital.

lien-but through it all there was the
| laughing triumphant declaration:
| ''You will see. | will go free. There
will never be charge made to stand
up against me. I am willing to go to
jail and have everything sifted thor
oughly. At the proper time l will tell
everything"
Carlton has at the present time three
| definite charges against him. The first
| is the accusation of H. B. J. Schaub
machinist on the submarine Porpoise
that Carlton took from him the sum
of $500 on a preteXt that the money
would be used in specializing in tax
sales. On that he stands indicted.
The second charge for which he is
Under Indictment in Manhattan is the
accusation of Dr. G. A. Goldsmith, OF
Stamford, Conn, who has sworn that
Carlton drugged him with a cup of tea
and robbed him of $500 at the st. Clair
! hotel, Park Row, in January, 1900.
The third, for which ne is accused
jointly with Mrs. Eleanor Van Deven-
ter, with whom he lived, is having in
his possession improper photographs OF
women.
At present DR.. Charles P. OConnOr
pathologist of the health department
is conducting a chemical analysis OF
the stomach and organs of Mary Cor
man Carlton, his wife, who died in
March of this year, supposedly from
tetanus, for the purpose of ascertain
ing whether the woman died from poi
son.
The authorities at Washington stand
ready, it is reported, to exhume the
body Of Jennie Smyth Carlton, wife,
who died in June, 1904, from tetanus,
it was supposed, for the purpose of dis
covering if she died from the effects
of poison.
Suspect Tetanus incubation.
In both of these cases the authori-
ties are proceeding on Inc assumption
that in applying modern scientific
methods to murder, the man may have
actually inoculated the women with
the germs of tetanus. They have the
testimony of two persons already in
their possession that Carlton not only
often spoke of germs, but apparently
had cultures OF them in his apartments.
A motive for the murder easily proven,
the police declare, would be found in
the insurance he collected on the death
Of both wives. - ~
Photographs of Carlton have been
identified by Mrs John E. McCandless
living in small town in Nebraska
who declares that they were married in

NEW ORLEANS HOPEFUL
Low Death Rate Encouaages the PEG.

<as~ EN- CITY. -


New Orleans, La, Aug. 11.-With
the death rate remaining lower than
in'previous visitations Of the fever the
feeling here both among the health au-
thorities and the citizens continues
hopeful. The fever has been prevalent
long enough to have assumed a quite
yirUlent type, but instead it is appa
-lently less malignant than it was when
it first appeared, and the doctors be-
lieve that if the first cases could have
been taken hold of at once and sub
jected to proper treatment, the total Of
deaths would have been considerably
smaller than has been now recorded.
Many Of the cases which are now
being reported, except among the Ital-
ians, are mild in character and readily
respond to the treatment given them.
The official fever report for yesterday
is as follows: New cases, co; total to
date, 739; total deaths to date, 1876;
deaths yesterday, 7.
The funeral Of Archbishop Chap
pelle will take place at 9 a. m. tomor-

POLE HUNTERS RESCUED
Men of the Fiala -Ziegler Expedition
Reach Norway on Relief
Shin.

Honningsvaag, Norway, Aug. IL
Another polar expedition has been
snatched from the jaws of death. The
men Of the Fla -Ziegler expedition
have been brought here by the relief
ship Terra Nova, which found them
In good health, but very glad of a
chance to get home again. But one
man was missing, a Norwegian sailor
who died from natural causes.
The expedition reached 50 degrees,
13 minutes north, which is degrees,
20 minutes below the highest latitude
reached. The exploring ship America
had been crushed in the ice and sunk
with most Of her provisions and coal,
in the winter Of 1904. She had not
been heard from since July, 1908.

took all her money and jewelry,
amounting to about $4,000, and desert
ed her.
Bigamy Charge Likely.
Rose Cerier, Of ST. Louis, has sent
word that she recognizes in Carlton
the Carl Marin who married her,
robbed her and deserted her in the
same year.
Mrs. Eta Kingrey, of Gordon, Ala,
is coming north to be satisfied that in
Carlton she will be able to identify
the Eduardo j. Martinez who married
her in 1898 in Alabama, took all her
savings and then deserted her. On
this Identification the police believe
they will be able to base a charge of
bigamy, for they claim to have outside
evidence to show that in one particular
case Carlton posed as De Martinez,
claiming to have been Spaniard spy
and to have inside knowledge of the
blowing UP of the Maine.
Mile Peterson, of Jersey City, has
positively identified Carlton in jail as
the man who made her his common
law wife and deserted her. She does
not say Carlton ever robbed her, but
she has sworn that he endeavored to
have her life insured.
The charges of swindling the insur-
ance companies, the police admit, are
wholly without anything substantial
on which to base suspicion at this time,
There have been inquiries for further
descriptions and identifications from at
least five insurance companies and
guarded statements that there was
some suspicion that there might have
been fraud in that way.
The charge of blackmail rests on the

pictures. These pictures are now in
the possession of the police, and the
statement of one Marie Brossman is to
the effect that Carlton at one time
threatened to transpose a negative OF
her head TO the body of another wom-
an. She has told the police that he
limited thai by that means he had been
able to accomplish much.
Inquiry from Chicago.
In addition to this there is the in
quiry of the Chicago police, asking for
more particulars about Carlton, de-
claring that Carl Horton, who ran a
matrimonial bureau at No. 155 Wash
:cgton street, that city, several years
ago, resembled Cartons published pic
lures. That man was arrested, but was
acquitted and left town.
1t will be seen easily that except for
the three crimes on which he now
stands charged and the one which
awaits the outcome of the chemit s
analysis the testimony is not yet con-
clusive. The police have not yet gath
cred together all the strands Of evil
dence, but in every allegation so far
sent word that Carlton is the young
McCandless, of Polk county, who en-
listed in the United States army at an
early age, deserted and served two
years Imprisonment in Fort Leaven-
worth, the military prison. 1t is there,
it is asserted, that he learned to cook.
1t is there, it is thought, he learned
to brew cup of tea by pouring hot
water upon the tea leaves, upon which
lay slice of lemon. That is COM
mon enough way nowadays in cities
and abroad, but it is not the way they
make tea in the country districts,
where the old-fashioned boiling or
sleeping is still used 1t was strange
enough to have Helen Murray remem-
Der it of John E. Candless; for Jennie
Andrews, of South Dakota, to use that
as one of her means of Identification,
and for Lucia Mitchell, Mrs. Kettering,
Rose 'Cerier, Mrs. Kingrey, the Peter
son girl, the parents of Jennie Smyth
Carlton, and the mother and brother
of Mary German, as we'll as the Mrs.
Hattie Schultz and her bandmaster
husband in Sands street, Brooklyn,
where Carlton boarded, all of them re-
fer to it.
Schaub, who has accused him of
grand larceny, alleges that he was Of
fered tea to drink. DR.. Goldsmith has
sworn that the drug which De Martinez
administered to him to produce uncon-
seriousness was in cup of tea. The
McCandless of the army and the Carl
ton Of the navy brewed the tea.
The foregoing is the arraignment by
the police. There is something to be
said for the man around whom so pow
erful a net is closing. Carlton himself
can talk for himself and talk quietly,
