Passed Upon the Matter.

PHILADELPHIA, March 27.-Action against

lawful rebates took tangible form in this
city to-day when a number Of corporations
and their agents, including the Great North
ern Railroad and the Mutual Transit Com
pany OF Buffalo, were called for trial In the
United States Court before a jury. At the
outset counsel tried to have the bills Of
indictment quashed, but Judge Holland
refused to take the case away from the
jury upon technicalities, saying it was
time for a jury to pass upon the question Of
rebates.
The first case taken up was against R. D.
Wood d Co.. iron dealers and manuiac-
turers at Camden and Florence, n. j., who
are said to have accepted rebates. Only
a little preliminary testimony was heard

FINDS CURE FOR RHEUMATISM.

Special Gable Despatch 10 TIL

SptCIul IuO btSputeV ~ N SSN'
LONDON, March 27.-Dr. Ballabone, an
ex-staff Captain Of the Italian armymedical
corps, leotured tonight before the London
T~herapeutical Society on a new remedy
for neuralgia, rheumatism and all equity
affections.
He began his experiments in 1892, basing
his researches on the assumption that the
diseases referred to are owing to an in
fectious poison in the blood produced by
an unknown organism. He believes that
he has discovered a cure, consisting OF an
injection containing amylio and benEoic
elements. Five or six injections in the
muscles will subdue a recurrence OF the
disease. The remedy does not aus irri-
tation or other harm.
DR.. Ballabone calls his discovery arthral-
gonicon. 1t operates by combining with
the uric acid in the blood. rendering it
soluble, and thereby enabling 1t to be more
easily eliminated. 1t also destroys the
toxins in the blood.

LIVELY END TO JAPANESE DIET.
Tariff and Railroad Bins Rushed Through
in Last Moments

OpGttut SuVtt
TOXIC, March 2s.-The Diet expired by
limitation at midnight amid wild scenes
in the House of Representatives, to which
the tariff bill and the bill for the n%ationali-
cation Of the railroads were referred by
the House of Peers. Both were finally
passed after the rule of closure had been
applied to the Progressives, who there
upon left the House in a body.
The bill for the naturalization OF the
railroads was amended so that the time for
the purchase of the lines was extended
ten years, and the number Of railways that
can be purchased was reduced,
The tariff bill, which imposes protective
duties, was passed practically without
modification. The foreign residents will
suffer most from the higher prices. The
American four trade probably will not be
affected, the Government being the chief
purchaser of that commodity.

MONEY AND CREDIT,
Pressing Needs of San Francisco FL
nance Committee.

San Francisco.-James D. Phelan,
chairman of the municipal finance
committee, Sunday gave the following
statement TO the press:
1.-THE demands upon the finance COM
m!ttee are very great ana we do not
see how we can meet them II the pres
ent conditions continue. There is no
money in circulation. Inc banks are
closed because they do not dare open
their heated vaults, and when they do
open them they will probably pay out
slowly. as they realize upon their as
sets. They expect next week TO cash
the checks of well-known customers TO
the extent of $500 each. That meas
ure will help in small degree the re-
sumption of business. There is a suf-
ficient food supply in sight for the
present. But the great problem for us
is how to provide for the absolutely
destitute, for the sick, the old, the chill
dren and all other dependent persons.
1.-THE means of support of the hos
pitfalls, orphans, religious and char
table associations of all kinds are alb
solutely cut off. The local Rod Cross
estimate that 1000 per day is neces-
sary for the hospitals. They say it
will take years to set the hospitals on
their feet. We are formulating plan
TO present to our committee by which
more credit can be secured for the re-
habitation of our workers, our institu
tons and the rebuilding of our city.
Everybody is willing to work and TO
make necessary sacrifices, if the tools,
as it were. were put into their hands
to re-establish the economic and so
cial conditions which prevailed before
the fire.
I'VE need large sums OF money at
low rates of interest. Such moneys
would be amply secured, and as in the
case of Chicago. give us a new city
and give to every body the means oil

life with the promise of an abundant

taneous and generous aid mas deeply

second-Growth naples, admirably To-
Gated as to sun exposure, soil, etc. and
these trees yield an average OF 125
to $50 gallons of syrup.
One of the trees has been tapped by
the three generations of Scots. who
have owned the camp, and has yielded
sap for 100 years. But the old maple
could not give sap forever. Its days
of usefulness ended. its stump alone
remains stretching out its huge roots
in the ground. The stump is fifty-two
feet in circumference. and 400 feet oil
lumber have been cut from the tree.

Vegetable Compound

The wonderful power of Lydia q.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of womankind is not be-
cause it is stimulant, not because it
is palliative. but simply because 1t is
the most wonderful tonic and recon-
structor ever discovered to act directly
upon the generative organs, positively
curing disease and restoring health and
vigor.
Marvellous cures are reported from
all parts of the country by women who
have been cured, trained nurses who
have witnessed cures and physicians
who have recognized the virtue of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and are fair enough to give
credit where it is due.
If physicians dared to be frank and
open, hundreds of them would acknowl-
edge that they constantly prescribe
Lydia Il. PinlSham's Vegetable Com
pound in severe cases of female ills, as
they know by experience it can be re-
lied upon to effect n cure. The follow
ing letter proves it.
DIR. S. G. Brigham, of Brigham

Women who are troubled with pain
