FUNSTON TO GONE
HOME WITH
taft.

HAVANA, Oct. 1O.-General Freder-
ick Funston will not continue i'm COM
msnd of the American forces in Cuba.
Governor Taft announced tonight that
he and General Funston would leave
Havana for the United States on SAT-
urday on the battIeship louisiana
With them will go Assistant Secretary
of State Bacon, and the affairs of Cuba
will be left In the hands of Governor
Magoon and General J. Franklin Bell.
Explaining the change of plans, Cover
nor Taft said:
General Funston was summoned on
a hurry call from the Pacific Coast be-
cause he was well acquainted with
many of the insurgent chiefs here and
did greatly, In bringing the men In
arms to an agreement. General Funs-
ton was but temporarily In command
of the troops In Cuba merely as a con-
venience until General Bell should ar
rive. General Funston, Mr. Bacon and
myself, with Mrs. Tnft and Mrs. Bacon
and our secretaries, are returning TO
our permanent duties"
CUBANS DON'T LIKE HIM.
Many Cubans of the faction to which
Mendez Capote and others. who organ
lied the Moderate party, belong, were
outspoken against General Funston,
alleging that he had deserted them in
the war to throw OF the yoke of Spain.
The close. association between Gov
ernor Taft and General Bell in the
Philippines decided the Provisional
Governor to make request on Presi-
dent Roosevelt that General Bell be
placed in charge in Cuba.
This being the Nthirty-eighth ami
versary of the beginning of the ten
years war for independence. the day
was observed as a national holiday.
REBELS EAGER FOR JOBS.
Several leaders of the revolution arr
rived here today from various parts Of
the island for the purpose. it is. said.
of attending meeting tonight at the
home of General del Castillo. They
would not discuss the object of their
gathering. but it is said that the rebel
generals intend to make urgent re-
quests to Secretary Taft for official
positions under the Provisional Gov
eminent. 1t is considered significant
that the rebels who served under Gen
eral del Castillo have been instructed
not to sell their horses and it is feared
that Del Castillo has wild idea Of en-
forcing his demand for position under
the Provisional Government.

INQUIRY INTO DEATH or DEER

An inquiry has been started by the
Fish and Game Commission to determine
the causes which resulted ia the death
of ten deer owned by John Dane. Jr., Of
St Cloud, West Orange. The DEER
which were part of herd Of thirty-eight
kept by Mr.. Dane at his lodge in the
above place, were found dead on Sunday.
He reported his loss to his son. Herbert
q. Dane, of Hoboken, fish and game
warden, and yesterday the matter was
brought to the attention of Fish and
Game Commissioner Percy H. johnson,
of Bloomfield, who ordered the investiga-
ton.
Although no analysis has been made, it
is thought that the deer were poisoned.
The ten animals were of the French fall
low and Indian hog specias, and were
valued at about $500. Nine of the
deer were dead when MIR. Dane went to
the preserve TO inspect them on Sunday,
and the other one, which was in a dying
condition. expired soon afterward.

HIGH PRESSURE pays

Men and women alike have to work
necessarily with brain and hand to hold
their own nowadays. Never Were the
demands of business. the wants of the
family, the requirements of society, more
numerous. The FIRST effect of the praise
worthy effort to keep up with az these
things is commonly seen in a weakened
or debilitated condition of the nervous
system, which results in dyspepsia,
defective nutrition Of both body and
brain, and in extreme cases in COM
plete nervous prostration. 1t is clearly
seen that what is needed is what win
sustain the system, give vigor and tone
to the nerves. and keep the digestive and
assimilative functions healthy and active.
From personal knowledge. we can
recommend Hoods Sarsaparilla for this
purpose. 1t acts onAall the vital organs,
builds up theewhole system, and fits men
and women for theae high pressure days.

Coal Shippers
U. S. COURTS ORDER
THIS RULB WILL open THE
DOOR FOR INQUIRIES FROM
OTHER LAWYERS SEEKING IN
FORMATION

PHILADELPHIA, April "A, 1906
Judges Mcpherson and Holland Of the
United States District Court, have signed
an order compelling the PENNSYLVANIA
Railroad Company to open for the in
spection of attorneys and accountants all
hooks and papers containing figures or
records in any way bearing upon the dis
tribution of cars TO coal companies or
upon favors of any character granted to
any shipper Of coal.
The application for the order was
made by George Fl. Graham. former Dis
iriet Attorney of Philadelphia. counsel
for the Pennsylvania Coal and Coke
Company and the Webster Coal and
Coke Company
Attorney Graham alleges that his cli-
ents have suffered severe losses because
the Pennsylvania Railroad has given
their competitors advantages in the way
Of cars and shipping facilities, and that
these favors amount to an unlawful re
bate and discrimination.
Efforts VIII be made to find documen-
tary evidence of the rebate clearing
houses which the Pennsylvania and the
Reading are said to have maintained An
attempt will also be made to trace the
ownership of the stock Of the coal COM
panies.
This order will open the door to all
the other lawyers who have been seeking
for years the privilege of inspecting the
books of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany. Attorney James w. w. Newlin
has already requested that he receive
the same privilege as counsel in the In
ternatienal Ceal Mining suit.
Several times when the lower courts
seemed willing to issue orders compelling
the railroad to open its books appeals
were taken to the higher courts and
there sustained.

NO BAN ON THE CIRCUS
Cardinal Richard, Archbishop Of
Paris. Calls It Theatre of Childhood

There was a time, not very many years
ago. when very considerable number OF
good and honest people regarded the cir
Gus with suspicion and not only refused
to patronize it themselves. but also used
their influence or parental authority to
deter others from attending. This indis-
crininate condemnation Of the circus was
always more or less unjust. for, while
there have always been tent shows ex-
isting by methods open to question, there
hay also been circuses whose names nave
always been synonymous with honesty,
integrity and the cleanest methods The
Barnum & Bailey circus, which the peo-
pie of this city will again have an op-
portunity to see on Central avenue on
April 80, has ffty-three years of such a
record to it's credit, and, no doubt. 50
long as this great show exists it will be
the representative of all that is best and
most enduringly coamendable in arenic
entertainments.
In recent years much of the old nreJu-
dice against circuses has disappeared and
the efforts of the Barnum & Bailey show
to give the public clean, wholesome
amusement has surely had a great deal
to do with it. A great circus of this
character has come to be recognized, not
only as a legitimate factor in furnishing
entertainment to the people, but its edu-
cational value is also appreciated by
those who give the subject the careful
thought that it deserves.
Nowadays the BaEnum and Bailey cir

its gathering of strange and curious pee
pie from all parts of the world; its won
derful exemplifcation Of what intelligent
ly developed Drawn and muscle can do,
when united with fearless daring; its
replicas of the historical glories of old
Rome; its superbly costumed spectacle
and its startling innovations in eques-
trian, acrobaeic and aerial exploits s)-ap-
peals irresisfibfy to the public and at
tracts its audiences from every class IN
the community. Not only is there no ban
upon such a modern circus by the Curch
or the home, but even the most devout
find in its striking displays new cause
to marvel at the power of the Creator
and the wonders of the Universe
This fact was recently brought into
striking prominence in a letter from a
European correspondent printed in the
New York Sun, of which the following
is an extract:
: Cardinal Richard, Archbishop of
Paris. has again laid the hand of disei-
pline upon his clergy. The Opera and

many instances the corpses are so decom-
posed that they are hurriedly buried in

urgent, as these people, being without
