II You Fear Diphther~ Beware of a
Cold.

The best authorities now agree that the
chances for contracting diththeria are
greatly enhanced by colds. If the child
has cold It is much more likely TO con-
tract diphtheria. The same is true of any
OF the much dreaded catching diseases
The cold prepares the system for the re-
ception and development Of the germs OF
these diseases, that is why one child viii

the same time will not take it. The one

slight colds are dangerous and should have
prompt and intelligent attention. Whether

pended upon to effect a quick cure. There

JOBBERS KICK ON A DEPOSIT
Twenty Million in Hands Of Railroads for
Drawback on Mileage Books
VIGOROUS COMPLAINT BEING REGISTERED
Demand in some states for n strnisht
Two-Cent Rate for Commercial
Mcn. and All Are Insist
ina on Change.

Jobbcrs of the country are beginning to
raise objections to the mileage Book sys-
tom which is in general use the rail-
roads NJ this country. because at least $50. =
900 belonging to the jobbers is constantly
tied up in these books. This money is tied
up from one years end to another and the
railroads pay no interest. 1t represents the
excess amount which travelling men pay for
their mileage books and is not returned
until after the book is used up. A mileage
book is worth $40. but the railroad COM
panics collect $50, and return tho extra SO
when the book is used up The business of
redemption is conducted by mileage bureau us
connected with the various passenger assoc
Citations.
Passenger men assert that IL a mileage
book was sold at fiat rate of cents a
mile. which would require no refund or
extra expenditure on the part Of the pur-
chaser, a wholesale scalping in these books
would result and few persons would pur-
chase regular tickets, even for short Jour
neys. because of the ease with which they
could get the mileage books from the scalp
crs.
Complaints Arc Pouring In.
A movement OF revolt is growing on the
part of the travelling men to this form Of
book. and the railroads are hearing many
complaints. One of the results of the agita-
tion is a demand in some states for a
straight 2-cent mileage without reservation
The railroad and warehouse commission Of
Illinois has promised to take up this mat
ter and give It a full hearing.
The railroads of Michigan were forced 20
come to a compromise with the travelling
men by giving them a mileage book which
while not reducing the initial price. gives
them an advantage which the other states
in the central passenger association do not
have. Governor IIanly of Indiana has also
taken up the agitation and 1t is being
pushed with the administrative officers OF
Ohio and Pennsylvania. With this official
agitation, well as the work being done
by the travelling men, the railroads will
soon have to take notice of this evil
One feature which makes 1t hard for the
railroads to urge with success the neces-
sity of this excess is that all the roads do
not require It. The Reading does not re-
quire so deposit.
A prominent railroad man defends the
extra deposit thus: 80 many other per
sons than those rightfully entitled to use
the mileage books were securing the re-
duced rate through scalpers. and mileage
was being dealt with as q regular COM
modify in some quarters to the extent that
something had to be done. so we conceived
the idea of having an extra SO deposited
to be returned, that a forfeit may stand IL
the signature on the slips given to the con-
ductors did not correspond with the sigma
ture given to the agent. We considered 1t a
fair and just protection to ourselves"

Death of Eastern Plague on Vessels
Towing The Dewey.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-For more
than three hours Mr.. SpoOner occupied
the time of the senate in explanation
and defense of the course of the adj
ministration relative to the Moroccan
conference at Algeciras. Spain, and in
connection with Santo Domingo.
The speech was delivered to crowded
galleries and to a well filed senate and
received careful attention throughout.
1t was in the main a response to the
speeches of Mr.. Bacon and Mr.. Till
man. and its purpose was to justify the
presidents acts in both the matters un-
der discussion.
In the Moroccan matter Mr.. Spooner
contended that the president had mere
ly followed presidents in appointing
delegates and said that if he had failed
to do so he would have been guilty of
dereliction of duty, while in the case of
Sarto Domingo he asserted that the
president had made no effort to carry
the treaty between Santo Domingo and
the United States into effect in advance
of its r~atif~stion by the senate.

MANN HAD LIST
OF |MMUNES.
Town Topics Did Not Attack All
The MHiiOnaireS Secrets
Are Out.

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-Colonel Will
liam dalton Mann was questioned by
District Attorney Jerome in the crimi'
nal branch of the supreme court about
how he could borrow money from j. Z.
Morgan and other millionaires on his
personal note without giving security.
Il cannot go to Mr.. Morgan" Mr.. Je-
rome said in Il somewhat injured tone
of voice, land borrow money on the
strength of my personal note. Are you
on terms of friendship with Mr.. Nor
GAM
Il have met Mr.. Morgan a number of
times" the colonel answered, land
knew his father"
WAS there any other reason why
Mr.. Morgan should let you have $500
On your personal noteT'
81 suppose it was friendship and re-
spNct for my personality"
There was a litter in the courtroom
at this. but it was o on repressed, and
Mr.. Jerome asked why the colonel had
not gone to some other banker.
II would like to know" he explained,
whether or not there was at the time
any scandal current about Mr.. Morgan
and if this $500 was advanced in Or
der that this scandal be not published"
"There was not" the colonel replied.
"Did o know Mr.. Ryan well enough
to 20 to him and ask him a similar ia
vor?"
81 was presented to Mr.. Ryan by Mr..
Whitney. Mr.. Whitney was very nice
to me to my face in the presence of
Mr.. Ryan and said: Colonel Mann is a
gentleman and an honest man, and |
want you to be nice to him. If he
wants any money you can let him have
it. He's perfectly good A little later
| needed money, and | went to Mr..
Ryan and asked him to loan me $751;
600. | offered him Town Topics stock
as security, but he said: i don't want
those shares. They're all right, but
give me your note. That will do me-"
Charles Stokes Wayne, former editor
of Town Topics, made public at the
Hapgood trial the immune list of the
publication.
He testified that he had prepared, I'M
der instructions from Colonel Mann, a
list of persons immune from attack in
the paper. This list was as follows:
Russell A. Alger, James H. Hyde,
Perry Belmont, James r. Keene, Will
liam X. Vanderbilt, George Gould, j.
Pierpont Morgan, Chauncey NJ. Depew,
A. ]. Cassatt, Melville Stone, August
Belmont, Senator Clark, George Fl.
Daniels, S%tuyvesant Fish, Henry Fla
gler, Abe Hummel, A. Clarence Doane,
Thomas w. Lawson, John Il. Madden,
Reginald Ward, Clayton Webb and
Charles Il. Yerkes.
The witness said that Harry Lehr at
first was not an immune; then he be-
came II and later dropped out of the
list again. Reginald Ward was not an
immune when the first paragraph about
him, which vas introduced In evidence,
appeared.

FRENCH WILL
BLOCKADE PORT
Venezuelan Coast to be ParOIed
by French Fleet Cruisers
on the Way.

WASHINGTON, Jan. "A. 1t has
been quite definitely established that
the French government proposes to
blockade the ports of Venezuela in re-
taliation for the treatment of NJ. Tai
Sny by the government at Caracas. 1t
is understood that orders have been
sent to the French vessels now in Vene-
zuelan waters.
The blockade will be carried on re-
CARELESS of the rights of the British,
German and Italian governments to the
customs receipts of Venezuela.
The French armored cruiser Desaix
and the second class cruiser Jurien de
la Graviere have sailed from Port of
Spain, Trinidad, for La Guayra, Vene-
Zuela.
A Paris dispatch says that Tuesday
President Loubet presided at a cabinet
council held in the Elysee palace. at
which Premier Rouyier announced that
he had received a communication from
Ambassador Jusserand to the effect
that the United States does not con-
slider a French naval demonstration
oStiilcl tlitLttld " DG d NlOluIlOl VI
the Monroe doctrine.
France, it is pointed out, thus has her
hands free.
Caracas reports say that the Franco
Venezuelan correspondence, which the
Constitutional has been publishing,
fully demonstrates, it is asserted, the
connivance of the French government
in the Matos revolution. 1t is added
that the fact that the French Cable
company had been the French govern
ment's best news carrier justified the
action by the government against the
company.
Hence the position which Venezuela
assumed toward NJ. Taigny, the former
charge d'affaires Of France at that cap
ital, when in his protest in behalf of the
cable company he accused the Venezue-
Ian government of despoiling the CON-
pany, was correct, according to the
Venezuelan point of view.
1t can be stated on authority that the
way is clear SO far as the Washington
government is concerned for France to
adopt more extreme measures and take
possession of a custom house pending
an adjustment with President Castro.
1t is said that France in view of the
Venezuelan treatment of NJ. Taigny
will omit to send to Venezuela an ulti-
matuin, but will proceed without this
forma1itv.

PUBLIC OPINION.
Editor EVENING NEWS.

Sir:-In your editorial of the 22nd
inst, relating to street paving, you
say that there is quite a difference
between our paved streets and IN
paved streets at present.
Sure thing. Not only now. but at
any other time. II is not necessary
to go to college to be enlightened on
that self-evident fact which is ap-
parent to the most obtuse mind. 1t
is ever present. 1t is omnicient,
You say that if any property owner
is finding fault with the mud-the
dear, dirty Jersey mud-'you would
advise him to take a walk through
some of our paved thorougFfares 80
but you fail to say what Object he
would have in performing ahis pill
grimage even if he was philanthropic
enough to give his time gratis TO the
dear public.
You say state street is a disgrace
TO the city, but is beyond the powers
Of the street department for the ma
cadam has been laid practically as
good as new. 1t is up TO the proper
ty owners to kill every petition pre-
scented for improvement"
In spite of illogical reasoning and
obscure wording of the above quota
ton | take it that you have reference
to a padded petition gotten up last
fall for the purpose of putting some
sort of a plaster on top of the macad-
am on the street referred TO and
which was fortunately defeated at
the instance and through the energy
and persistence of people of common
sense. If that fool notion was al
lowed to prevail at the time and was
then put down it would be obliterat-
ed by this time; and the bill-Oh,
well, that would not be obliterated.
The undersigned is by no means
blind to the fact that State street
that part of it which is macadam-
ized-is in a bad condition as re-
CARDS mud at the present time; but
this is partly because the lateral
streets are all unpaved as well as the
continuation of said street n%ortherly,
the mud from which is brought on by
wagons of all descriptions. That
mud adhering to those vehicles is
Jared off when they get on the hard
surface of the macadam and there
