IN CHICAGO CEMETERY
City in Quandary Because Woman
Says She Bought From NUM-
cipality.

:. CHICAGO. H.. Feb. 1s.-afrs. j. r
Huntley of Mamaroaeck. n. Y. bought
d lot in a cemetery. owned by the city
of Chicago. fifty years ago. The city
collector has received a letter from her
saying that she had buried her former
husband, Matt Reed. in Brooklyn; that
she did not need the Chicago lot. and
that she wanted the city to pay her
for 1t
The municipal legal department is
puzzled over the case. Chicago does not
now own d cemetery. Whether the city
really owes Mrs Huntley anything is
to be determined by investigation
If she is able TO collect after show

READING, Pa. Feb. iS.-The most I'M
portant subject that continues to be dis
cussed in connection with the case OF
Mrs. Kate Edwards and Samuel GTeasor
is the probability OF the arrest OF the
womans daughter. Mary Edwards, now
in St Louis The authorities are not
likely to do anything In this connection
for the present, because the attorneys
for the condemned have made no move
on behalf Of their clients under the
respite granted by the board of pardons.
Mary Edwards was under the impress
sion as late as Wednesday night. at her
St. Louis home that her mother would
be hanged, and for some days before
that she was asked to come to Reading
to bid her farewell. but she absolutely
refused. Her constant fear is that she
will be arrested, and If she be not taken
into custody it will be largely through
public opinion that the Edwards-Greason
case has cost about enough.
1t has already cost the taxpayers of
this agricultural county nearly $4,000, and

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

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
is the safest and most efficient disin-
fectart and purifier in nature, but few
realize ii IS value when taken into the
human system for the same cleansing
purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take OF it the better; it is not q drug
a all. but simply absorbs the gases and
impurities always present in the ston-
ach and ntestines and carries them out
of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking, or after eating on
Ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal efectually clears ana i'm
proves tie complexion. it whitens the
teeth and further acts a natural and
eminentiy safe cathaitic.
IT absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
disinfects the mouth ard threat from
TIE poison OF catarrh
Ali 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 LozenSes; 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

on the contrary, great benefit.

many are kicking. Newspapers, clergy.
and others have expressed themselves To
the effect that the case has been strung
out long enough, and the sympathy fo-
Mrs. Edwards is not as strong as IL was
a month ago. These parties point to the
fact that, while her death warrant hao
been repeatedly read to her, fixing diff
ferent dates for hanging her In the
last three vars. Mrs. Edwards never in
timated that Greason was innocent until
all other devices of the law had been
exhausted. and that she then came for

in the case to halt the execution
One of the letters praying for me1 cy
for Mrs. Edwards was from a woman in
Chicago. who inclosed. in addition to
her plea that Mrs. Edwards be spared
from the gailows, five cents in stamps.
She gave the following directions as TO
the disposition of the stamps:

will please purchase a soda sor the poor

her up and help her to bear the ordeal

The sixth annual reunion of the Alumni
Associa ion of the Washington Business
High School was held last evening at
Rauscher's
Members of the association and their
friends, together with the invited guests
mingled in social intercourse for some
time prior TO the. formal exercises of the
evening.
The assembly was called to order by
the president of the association. Paul Z.
Sleman, who made a few Introductory
remarks. The speaker of the evening, DIR.
Cheesman a Herrick, director of the
High School of Commerce, of Philadel-
phia, was then introduced. DR.. Herrick
addressed the association upon the sub
1ect The Commercial High School" He
discussed several conceptions of educa-
lion and called attention to the fact that
at the beginning OF the nineteenth cen
fury especial stress was laid upon the
scientific aspect of mind training. He
said the old idea was that education
should seek To produce mental power
without regard to the application of that
power I'm after life. 1t was believed, said
DIR. Herrick that the student should
be sent out from the institution of learn
ing equipped with power waieh he could
apply in whatever direction his natural
talents and inclinations led him.
New Demand for Men.
With the growth of commerce and the
increasing complexity of business affairs
the demand had arisen for trained men
for administrative positions. DR.. Her
rick mentioned that the manufacturing
and productive pursuits have been amply
equipped with competent men by the
many institutions of technical training
existing in every community. Too little
attention had heen paid to the admins
trattv5. department of commerce, with the
result that thee was a crying demand
on the part of business men throughout
the country today for competent men to
administer the great business enterprises
which havG resulted from the develop
n1ent and utilization of the natural re-
sources OF TIE country.
Turning to q discussion of commercial
high, schools the speaker said the present
situation ir the business world demand
ed such institutions. The commercial
nigh school" he said, should take a
broad community view of education"

School and the Business High School
