Edward Wadsworth, of Galeton, a

the constables sneaking around and
thought they were burglars.
Wadsworth said he would watch
them. He followed. The constables
saw him skipping from out of one
dark corner into another They
thought he was the tramp they were
looking for and gave chase.
Wadsworth took to his heels. Con.

Wadsworth threw up his arms, expect

HARLEM TOBACCO DEALER HAS
FIGURE OF WASHINGTON.
Colossal Wooden Likeness Of First
President Is, II Is Claimed by
the Owner, One Hundred
Years Old.

New York.-Every now and then
relic OF revolutionary times of which
little has been heard comes to the pub
lie notice. In the possession Of
Harlem tobacco dealer Is a colossal
wooden statue of George Washington.
The owner, Joseph Lehman, says it
is 100 years old.
In the colonial days there was
statue of King George in Bowling
Green park. After the struggle for
independence this statue was re-
placed by one of George Washington.
1t was of heroic size, and according to
the information obtained by Mr.. Lieb-
man it was the first statue of George
Washington erected in this country.
The statue is nine feet five inches
from the base to the top and weighs
500 pounds. Gen. Washington is
wearing the continental uniform
long blue coat with brass buttons, buff
breaches and riding boots. The right
arm is extended and the left, carrying
his hat, is resting on his hip On the
right side is fob and watchchain.
Mr.. Lehman has looked up the his
tory of the statue, and he says that 1t
was put up in 1892. 1t stood for 43
years, when 1t was decided to make
some improvements in the park. The
city officials looked over the statue
and decided that it was too old-fash-
Toned and not dignified enough for the
city because 1t was of wood. AS a
result II was sold at auction to a Mr..
jacques. collector of things of the
revolutionary period. He paid $3.50
for it and sent 1t to South Norwalk,
Conn, where it remained until he
died, in 1860, when 1t was sold again.
The purchaser this time was Antonio
Decorate, who lived in this city, but
eventually it fell into the hands OF
Frank Theobold. the tobacco dealer.
Mr.. Theobold sold his business to
Mr.. Lehman, and with it went the
statue. Its present owner puts high
value on 1t. He says it is worth IS,
000-at least he has been told that by
persons who profess to have some

Twice within As hours Leitner has

Indian and has been giving wild west

with attempting to kidnap John D..

The boy left his home in the morn

Instead of going to work he met

Junction with him. There they were
arrested by Officer William Keyser on

At the hearing before Justice J. H.

told him that If he would go with him
they would make lots of money giving
shows, and would go to White Tigers

The Indian showed that he was a

CANNED PEARS WITH HISTORY
Put Up 81 Years Ago, and Kept Intact
by Successive Owners.

Washington.-In the window of
lunchroom on Pennsylvania avenue is
giant glass jar of branded pears
that were put up by Mrs. Ella C. Hal.
Ter, in Paterson, N. j.. on the 25th of
February, 1875. They have changed
hands many times, but each time they
remained untouched, their owners
seeming to lack the heart to break the
seal of the jar.
John Keenan,, well-known to the old
inhabitants of Washington. brought
the jar to this city about ten years
after it was put up. and for several
years it stood on exhibition in the old
Riggs House bar. There ii attracted
the attention of many prominent men
and statesmen. Large prices were of.
fered for it, but all were refused
Finally 1t was rallied and the pro.
ceeds given 60 charity AS much as
$1,000 was netted. Subsequently the
new owner raiIied it and gained $3.50
thereby. The man who last won il
presented it to his sweetheart, who,
upon marrying another gave 1t 10 her
relatives, In whose possession It now
| rests.
The jar stands about three feet
high, and the fruit is in perfect state
OF preservation in peach brandy. II
is possible that the jar will be again
disposed of at the Elks' fair this fall

A few scattering lots OF choice

whose stock, in nearly all cases, is at
low ebb. There has just been made
sale of 20 tons at $3.50 a ton, this
being the high figure for the season.
though several sales at $125 have
been reported during the past two
weeks.
So far as known there are only two
blocks of choice Illinois stock of any
considerable size remaining in the
central district.
The high price commanded for
brush has been encouraging to grow

present year. These figures indicate a
plant Of $1,000 acres, as against $4,000
acres last year.

PRESCRIPTIONS IN LATIN.
The Public Should Have Them Trans.
lated by the Druggists.

What virtue is there in the secrecy
with which the doctor hedges about
his profession?
professional etiquette" occupies a
prominent place in the curriculum of
every medical school, and when strict
ly analysed professional etiquette"
seems to mean doing what is best for
the doctor, individually and col
lectively."
Among the things that lis best for
the Doctor is the writing OF his pre-
scriptions in Latin, and thus keeping
the public in ignorance not only of
what it is taking for it's ills, but fore
ing call upon the doctor each time
a prescription is needed
In plain and unmistakable English
the writing of prescriptions in Latin
makes business for the doctors.
Let us say that you have the ague.
You had 1t last year and the year be-
fore. Each time you have visited the
doctor and he has prescribed for you
in Latin. You have never known
what he has given you for the disease,
and so each time you are forced to go
to him again and give him an oppor-
tunity TO repeat his prescription-in
Latin, and his fee-in dollars.
II you ask the doctor why he uses
Latin in writing his prescriptions, why
he writes aqua" when he means wa
ter, he will give you a technical dis
sertation on the purity of the Latin
language, and the fact that all words
are derived from it, etc. 1t will be a
dissertation that you may not be able
to answer, but it will hardly convince
you.
1t would be good thing for the pub
lie to devise little code of ethics of
its own ethics that will be "a good
thing for the public individually and
collectively"
Let us apply one of the rules of this
code Of ethics to you, the individual.
You call in the physician when you
have the ague, the grippe, OF any of
the other ills to which human flesh is
heir, and which you may have again
some day. The doctor prescribes-in
| Latin, and you take this, to you, mean
| ingless scribble to the druggist to
have it compounded. Right here is
where you come in, if you are wise.
Say to the druggist that you want a
translation Of that prescription. 1t is
your privilege to know what you are
I taking While the doctors code OF
ethics may not recognize this right il
| Is yours just the same.
With the translated prescription in
your possession you have two distinct
| advantages. You know what you are
taking, and should you wish to call
some other doctor at some time you
will be able to tell him what drugs you
have been putting into your system
and also if you should have the same
disease again you can save yourself
a visit to the doctor, and his fee, by
taking this translated prescription tc
the druggist once more and having il
| refillpd
