IN COURT

Persons Ought to Be Ready
Subscribers to "Fads
and Fancles"
oclsted Press.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-"Fads and
Fancies," the book of American social
celebrities which came into prominence
several months ago through the an
nouncement that some of those VINO
figured in the book had paid many
thousands of dollars for the privilege,
was owned by Justice Joseph e. Duel
of the court of special sessions of this
city, according to a letter read in police
court today. The letter was written by
Col. w. D. Mann. publisher of Town
Topics, a weekly publication. 1t was
read by the attorney for the defendant
in suit for libel brought by Col. Mann
against Peter f. and Robert Collier and
Norman Hapgood. Incidentally Col.
Mann testified that he (Mann) owned
only one share of stock of Town Topics,
and that either Justice Duel or Mrs.
Duel owned thirty shares. "Fads and
Fancles" was printed by the Town
Topics company.
Other letters purporting to show that
Justice Duel was interested in Fads and
Fancies were read by the attorney for
the defense. Among them was one al
legged to have been written by Justice
Duel and addressed to Mrs. Wooster, an
agent for "Fads and Fancies," who was
at Palm Beach, Fla. The letter ex-
pressed hope that Mrs. wooster would
meet nice people in Florida, and con-
tinued:
"All Of them are like Davy Crockett's 8
coon so that all you will have to do is
to point your gun and every heightened
citizen of Palm Beach will tumble into
your basket"
Col, Mann said that he might have
written one letter to Mr.. Wooster, the
subscription agent for Fads and
Fancies, which was put in evidence by
counsel for the defense. 1t gave Woos
ter Instructions how to secure certain
names and included the following in
structions:
Gen. Fitzgerald is a very pompous
and vain man and very rich, and |

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 its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal Is a remedy that the more
you take of it the BETTER it is not
drug at all. but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
in the stomach and intestines and car
ries them on tof 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, 1t whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect In the stomach and bowels; 1t
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 Stuart's 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 money.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condi-
tion of the general health, better COM
plexion, 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: II adj
wise Stuart's 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
a box at drug stores and although In
some sense a patent preparation, yet
/ believe I get more and better char
coal IN Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges
than in any of the ordinary charcoal
ia blets"

NEW SPANISH MINISTRY
BY Associated Press.

MADRID, Dec. 2.-The formation of
a new ministry in place of the Montero
Rios cabinet, whose resignation was
accepted yesterday, is designed to over
come the separatist movement in Gala
noia as war minister Weyler's policy
of repression has not satisfied either
element. Reports from Barcelona show
that the situation is still serious. Sew
eral of the leading newspapers have
been seized, and the governor of Bar
celona has resigned.
The resignation of Montero Rios may
complicate the Moroccan question as
the premier gave Spain's influence to
France, whereas the new ministry may
reawaken general activity.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2.-Startling events
which have followed the mysterious
disappearance of John A. Thompson,
a wealthy but eccentric Swede, have
aroused the village of Hobart, Ind, to
a state of high excitement. When Mar
shal Fred Busse and Trustee Alvin
Wilde yesterday went to thompson s
bachelor house on the outskirts of Lake
station they had narrow escapes from
being blown UP by dynamite.
A woman named Helen Fritche hell
a mortgage on the Thompson house,
which he declined to satisfy Last
week she determined to foreclose and
notified her agent, Charles Seydel.
Seydel met Thompson in Hobart and
told him of Mrs. Fritche's determina-
ton. Thompson remarked.
"Well, there will be a hot welcome
for you when you come"
For over a week Thompson had not
been seen and his house was closed
and the blinds drawn.
Wilde and Marshal Busse went to the
farmhouse to investigate. Both Off
cials were of the opinion that Thompson
bad killed himself
Busse was about to break In the front
door, when, he says he was seized
with an intuition to get away from the
door. Going to a side window the men
climbed cautiously into the house. They
were unable to find a trace of Thomp-
son, but in the hall leading to the
front door was found pile of dyna-
mite of which there was several pounds.
1t was connected with the front door
by a wire fuse to an electric battery
so that an intruder would have ex-
ploded the mass.
Black powder was strewn in every
room in the house and wires led from
the front door to the explosives in all
directions. Over every door in the out
side of the house and barn was sus-
pended heavy weights designed to fall
