Anarchists To Have Love Feast.

The case against Emma Goldman,
Alexander Berkman and John r.
Coryell. charged with having made
incendiary speeches in a public meet
ing, was dismissed in the Essex Mar
ket Court by Magistrate Moss. AS
she left the court room Miss Gold
man announced that the Anarchists
would hold a love feast to cele-
brate her release. When the case
was called Assistant District Attor-
ney-Kaough asked for the release OF
the prisoners. He said the Grand
Jury a fe%-geeks ago refused to in
dict Miss Goldmap for making an al
legged incendiary speech at the Man
haitian Lyceum. He declared that
the case against the three derend-
ants was OF a similar nature, and
that it would be useless to prosecute
them.

Swiss Timepieces Bearer.

Importers of Swiss watches and
varying from to Is per cent. on all
except the highest grade of time
pieces, thus following the lead given
by American clock manufacturers,
who recently put up their prices. Up
to this time the American manufac-
turers of watches have not made any
change, but the public will find
nearly every other kind of device for
telling the hour more costly after
this. 1t is likely that many retail
dealers will add greater percentage
to the prices than the wholesalers
did. The cheaper watches, which
are the most affected by the increase,
come in cases made of plated and
oxidized silver, gun metal and nickel.

Concrete Telephone Poles.

The first concrete telephone poles
ever manufactured in Indiana were
made recently by the Richmond
Home Telephone Company and are
now being erected to test their eff
ficiency. The post was designed by
superintendent Bailey. A skeleton
framework of four corrugated iron
rods is covered with ordinary con-
crete, the material being "slushed"
about the framework while inclosed
in bOxlike mold. The pole is oc-
tagonal in shape, 80 feet long and
provided with mortises for cross
arms, which are fastened in place
by means of iron bolts, and also
mortises to be used by linemen in
climbing The pole is as ornamental
as pine poles and has the additional
virtue of being symmetrically tapered
and straight. Superintendent Bailey
say that the strongest point in favor
of concrete poles is their durability
Wooden poles must be replaced by
new ones about every six years-the
dryer the soil the longer the life of
the pole. The concrete poles, it is
declared, will be lasting, as soil con-
ditions do not affect them. Mr..
Bailey says the cost will also he less
than pine poles. The manufacture
of each pole can be carried on along
the line where it is to be installed or
planted
Should the experiment prove sue
cessful this telephone company, as
well as many other companies, will
substitute them for pine poles for
all new work, as as fast as the wood
en- poles become unfit for service.

The biggest high-pressure pump
In the world is installed in the Dry
Diggings placer fields of Southern
Oregon. on Rogue River, and Is used
to operate a battery of hydraulic
monitors In the mines, writes Dennis
III. Stovall in the Technical World
Magazine for January. This pump
is one of the largest pieces of min
ing machinery ever manufactured,
and could never have been installed
but for the fact that it was dumped
directly from the cars to the foun-
dation prepared for it at the mines.
The pump was built by the Byron
Jackson Machine Works, OF San
Francisco, and was one OF the last
big jobs done by this company be-
fore the earthquake and fire. The
pump is OF the flve-step centrifugal
bearings and gears, just 10000
pounds. Other pumps have been
built that lift as great a volume of
water as does this one, but they do
not deliver it under such enormous
pressure. This pump is tested to
Withstand a maximum pressure of
25O pounds to the square inch. Its
capacity is 100000 gallons per
day Of "a hours, or 5000 gallons
per minute. This enormous volume
is delivered through a half-mile of
pipe line. the pipe being of steel, %
inches in diameter. The water is
lifted to a height of 100 feet and
forced through two four-inch noz-
zles, hurting streams a distance of
500 feet. These powerful streams
are played upon the mountain walls
to tear down the gold-bearing gravel.

Logic Is Logic.

AWFUL EFFECT OF ECZEMA.

WOrse-Parents Discouraged
Cuticura Drove Sores Away.

Our little girl, one year and a half old,
was taken with eczema or that was what
the doctor said it was We called in the
family doctor and he gave some tablets
and said she would be all right in a few
days. The eczema grew worse and we
called In doctor No. 2. He said she was
teethlng; as soon as the teeth were
through she would be all right. But she
still grew worse. Doctor No. 3 said it was
eczema. BY this time she was nothing
but yellow, greenish sore. Well, he said
he could help her, 50 we let him try it
about week. One morning we discovered
little yellow pimple on one of her eyes.
OF course we 'phond for doctor No. 3.
He came over and boxed her over and
said that he could not do anything more
for her, that we had better take her to
some eye specialist, since it was an ulcer.
So we went to Oswego TO doctor No. 4,
and he said the eyesight was gone.
but that he could help it. We thought
we would try doctor No. g. Well, that
proved the same, only he charged $40
more than doctor No 4. We were nearly
discouraged. l saw one of the Cuticura
advertisements in the paper and thought
we would try the Cuticura Treatment, so
L went and purchased a set of Cuticura
Remedies, which cost me 81, and in three
days our daughter, who had been sick
about eight months, showed great improve
ment, and in one week all sores had dis
appeared OF course il could not restore
the eyesight, but If we had used Cuticura
in time l am confident that il would have
saved the eye. We think there is no rem

Loot Factories OF $4,000 Goods.

Cutting their way through a heavy
wall strung with burglar-alarm wires,
thieves gained entrance to the skirt
factory of Samuel Berry, on the
eighth floor of West Eighteenth
Street. almost in broad daylight and
carried away silks valued at about
$4,000. The burglary was the eli
max of a seriex of robberies in the
vicinity. Equally successful was a
raid of robbers recently who carried
away $4,000 worth of silks from the
establishment of James B. Goggin,
If % East Nineteenth Street; plum
dered cravenette factory in West
Twenty-sixth Street of goods valued
at $500 and took silks worth $500
from another skirt factory. After
boring through the Berry establish
ment wall with drills the robbers cut
hole about Ia inches between two
beams. Through this one of the
men crawled. and, entering the fac
tory, passed out more than 500
pounds of silks. IL is believed the
thieves had a wagon at the door OF
the building, less than 80 feet from
Fifth Avenue, and carried their loot
off by this means.

Thorou0hly Reliable.

If ever there was a reliable and safe
remedy it is that Old and famous porous
plaster-Alcock's. It has been in use for
sixty years, and is as popular to-day as
ever, and we doubt if there is a civilized
community on the face of the globe where
this wonderful pain reliever cannot be
found. In the selection OF the ingredients
and m their manufacture the greatest care
is taken to keep each plaster up to the
highest standard of excellence, and so pure
and simple are the ingredients that even
q child can use then.
Allcock's are the original and genuine
porous plasters and are sold by druggists
In every part of the civilized world.

Dynamite For The Whole Block.


An innocent-looking pail, contain1
ing enough dynamite to blow
block to atoms, and a large number
explosive dum-dum bullets were
sound in a tub in the bathroom on the
third floor 10 a furnished-ro house
at 200 w. Eleventh Street early the 9TH
ar morning. The dynamite and bullets
were wrapped in brown paper thick
with dust. George Witham, a young
electrician living in the house, found
the pail on Monday night, but did
not say anything about it until the
next morning, when he told the
landlady, Mrs. Frederick Peters, who
promptly notified the police Of the
Charles Street Station. Policeman
Walsh took the stuff to the station
house, first taking the precaution to
fill the pail with water. Later it
was removed to the Bureau OF Com
Justibles, and Inspector Wolf, who
examined the contents, said there
was enough dynamite to blow up
the block, and that the bullets were
Of the explosive kind. The bullets
were in boxes bearing the name New
York and Boston Drug Company"
The police do not believe that who
ever left the explosives there intend
ed to use them where they were
found. They are trying to connect
the finding of this explosives with
the threatening letters received late
ty by a wine merchant named Mar
chini living nearby, who received an
order a day or two ago to give up
$1,000 or have his place blown up.

Weekly Review of Trade and Latest

Weekly Review of Trade says:
Trade in winter fabrics improved
as the weather became mo. ? season
able, but reports for the week are
more irregular on account of vary
ing temperature. Improvement In
the traffic situation was checked by
snow blockades, and the best rail-
way authorities state that expanding
needs of the nation can only be met
by much greater expenditure for
new track and rolling stock than has
yet been contemplated, although
prices of stock have declined sharply
since the announcement of proposed
new issues of securities for these
purposes. Clearance sales have
made good progress, and new bust
ness and spring delivery is coming
to jObbers and wholesale houses in
large volume, while collections show
some improvement, although still
slow in many lines.
Commodity prices have moved ir-
regularly. Wheat advanced on rel
ports of small interior arrivals, but
reacted as the Argentine crop esti-
mates increased. Corn had the sup
port of statements that excessive
moisture was affecting the quality,
but shipments increased and exports
continued most unsatisfactory, al
though larger foreign sales promised
a better movement later. North
western -four mills have increased
production until there appears an
increase over last years figures, but
shipments abroad are unsatisfactory.
