power, while the sailor attended to
steering It.
The two men and the barrel had
reached Harrison street when Captain
Conboy. out surveying his district,
bumped into the thieves, who, recog-
nizing him. prepared for flight. Con-
boy was below them. and as the surest
way of disposing OF him the thieves
gave the barrel a roll down hill in
his direction, in the hopes that the
fast travelling sphere would take the
captain along with 1t. Fortunately
Conboy is bow-legged and the barrel
never touched him. As the thieves
started to run, Policemen Walsh and
MARITIME hove in sight and gave
chase. Conboy followed the barrel.
The thieves were caught and taken
to the bottom Of the hill. where Cap
tain Conboy. sitting on the evidence,
was recovering his breath.
Judge Shortall sentenced the thieves
to ten days each in the County Jail.
The saloon keeper donated the barrel

Pneumonia weather
Prom the New York Herald-


The wide prevalence OF coughs.
colds, grip and pneumonia marks an
experience OF severe and prOtracted
winter weather the like Of which we
have not seen for many a year. The
stubborn persistence Of catarrhal trou-
, bles is also a marked feature OF the
depressing Influences which follow a
long siege OF rapidly changing low and
raw temperatures. The man is FORUM
ate indeed who has not been at some
time since Christmas confined to his
bed with a cold OF some sort that he
cannot succeed IN curing. This condi-
ton of affairs has existed for months,
and the end Is not yet In fact, il be-
hooves all careful people TO be on their
guard against all catarrhal troubles
more than ever.
March is typical pneumonia
month and gives q high rate OF NOR
tality for the disease One reason for
this is that after our long and hard
winters the system loses its natural re-
sistance to cold. Only the hardy ones
are lkely 10 Withstand the strain, and
even these are by no means safe when
grip Is increasing almost to epidemic
manifestation.
The ordinary cold the grip and
pneumonia belong TO the same family
OF winter diseases. Although they may
be excited by different infectious in
fuences. their ultimate effects are the
same when the attacks are sufficiently
severe.
An acute catarrh is always the re-
suit OF undue exposure TO low temper
atures. The rapid cooling Of the sur
face, when not balanced by proper re-
action. produces congestion and in
fammation OF the nasal and bronchial
membranes obviously such an ailment
is not communicable, in the ordinary
sense from one individual to another.
AS the slightest cold predisposes the
individual TO attacks Of the most severe
and dangerous catarrhal affections. the
necessity for its quick cure need not be
enforced"
All these facts emphasize the neces-
sity OF extraordinary precautionary
measures against the ordinary cold.
Every one cannot change his climate
at will, but may make the most OF what
ne has at home, viz, take the Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy as soon as the
first indication OF the cold appears. II
not only cures g cold quickly, but coun-
teracts any tendency OF the cold to re-
suit IN pneumonia This fact has been
fully proved during the epioemics OF
cold and grip OF the past few years. No
case OF either OF these diseases having
resulted IN pneumonia when this rem
edy was used has ever been reported
10 the manufacturers, which shows con-
clusively that Il is not only the best
and quickest cure for colds, but q GER
tain preventive OF that dangerous dis
ease.
