TRENTON, Sept 26.-Long after
dusk yesterday. following four hours OF
argument from the Democratic Sena-
tors and Republican Senator Everett
Colby. the public utilities bill, as draft
ed by the special Senate committed,
was passed by the upper house without
dissenting vote. Those who had ar
gued against the bill as drafted by the
special committee, and who favored
amendments offered by Senators Colby,
George S. Silzer and William Gebhardt.
voted for the bill on the principle that
half loaf is better than no bread. As
passed the bill contains many amend-
ments which make the measure stronger
than 1t was at first.
The bill, however. despite the efforts
of the Democrats, will not provide for
an elective commission: will not fix
rates nor will it give power to the pro-
posed commission to order the corpora
tions to remedy the evils it may find
by investigation. Senator Gebhardt
tried to have the commission order
corporations to do certain things. but
the Republicans stood for "recommen-
dations" only.
Senator Silzer forced through an
amendment providing for immunity
from punishment for any witness who
might give testimony discriminating
himself. Provision is also made for inn
prisonment for refusal to answer quea-
tions.
The bill as passed was not broad

POSED AS ELK;
BOR ROWE
VANISHED
Takes Life Easy in Hotel,
Says He'll Buy--Stung f!
But Sh! ROgge's Sensitive.

One of the cleverest fiim-fiammers
that ever operated in this city Sue
ceeded this week in doing William
Rogge, proprietor of the Holland
House, in Market street, out of tidy
sum of money, and came near catching
Frank x. KEELING, proprietor of the
Owl cafe in the same thoroughfare, at
the same game.
A tall, well-dressed man was the
imposter, giving the name of Otto
Berg, of lila Penn avenue. Pittsburg
and wearing an Elk emblem. He sue
ceeded in ingratiating himself into the
good graces of a number of prominent
Ells in this city, and by one of them
was taken to the Holland. The stranger
seemed to like the place, and last Tues
day offered Rogge $22, 900 for the busi-
ness. After due consideration Rogge
accepted the offer and the stranger
offered him check for IS, 900 to clinch
the bargain.
In the meantime Berg lived in the
Holland Honse, and ran up a large BILL
and then early Tuesday evening he
asked Rogge. for a loan, saying that
the $4,000 he had given him had ex-
hausted his account in the East. 1t
was learned that Rogge let him have
several hundred dollars.
Later in the evening, with a party,
Rogge and the Pittsburger went to
Keilings cafe to celebrate the sale,
and the flimfiammer spent Rogge's
money royalty. He left at / o'clock
In the morning, saying that he was
to meet number of friends to take
an automobile ride. and before leaving
he told KEELING that he intended to
buy several more cafes and that he
would be in in the morning to see him
about his place. That was the last
seen of the stranger.
IT was learned that he has been a
visitor at the homes of some of the
most prominent members of the Elks'
fraternity in the city, and had lived
life Of ease for the last six weeks at the
expense of his new-found friends and
brothers.
The man is described as APPARENTLY of
middle age. He is fluent talker, and
judging from his conversation must
have Travelled extensively both in this
country and abroad.
Mr.. Rogge, when seen today, refused
TO say anything about the matter, and
MIR. Keeling was equally reticent, but 1t
was learned that both have been busy
buying their friends wine to keep the
joke quiet.
The matter has not been reported to
the police. and will not be reported by
either of the principals Rogge was
"stung' and don't like1to talk about it.

Habit-fOrming Medicines.

Whatever may be the fact as to many of the so-called patent medicines con taining injurious ingredients as broadly published in some journals of more or less influence, this publicity has certainly been of great benefit in aronsing needed considerable measure, resulted in the most intelligent people avoiding. such foods and medicines as may be fairly sus- pected of containing the injurious fngre- dients complained of. Recognizing this fact some time ago, Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, were, and published broadcast all the ingredients of which his popular medi cines are composed. Thus he has com pletely foressaIled all harping critics and all opposition that might otherwise be urged against his medicines, because they are now OF KNOWN CoMPosITIoN. Fur thermore, from the formula printed on every bottle wrapper, it will be seen that theSo medicines contain no alcohol or other habitforming drugs. Neither do they contain any narcotics or injurious agents, their ingredients being purely vegetable, extracted from the roots of medicinal plants found Growing in the depths of our American forests and Of well recognized curative virtues.
 Instead of alcohol, which even in small portions long continued, as in obstinate cases of diseases, becomes highly objeo- tionsble from its tendency to produce 8 craving for stimulants, Dr. Pierce em- ploys chemically pure, triple refined glycerine, which of itself is a valusble remedy in many cases of chronic diseases, being superior demulcent, antiseptic, antiferment and supporting nutritiye. It enhances the curative action of the Golden Seal root, Stone root, Black Cherrybark and Bloodroot, contained in sGolden Medical Discovery" in all bron- chial, throat and lung affections attended with severe coughs. As will be seen from the writings of the eminent Drs. Grover son. son Medical NJ I College, Phiia.; Scudder, of Cincinnati Ellingwood, of Chicago; Hale, of Chicago, and others, who stand as leaders in their several schools of practice, the foregoing agents are the Ue1y best ingredients that Dr. Pierce could have chosen to make up his fla nous Discovery" for the cure of not only bronchial, throat and lung affec- tions, but also of chronic catarrh in all IA. -za=ioAas fornaS whereveI located

Right Breathing Cures Catarrh.
Simple Way to XIII Catarrhal Germs
 in Nose, Throat and Lungs.

If you cut your niger. you don't at tempt to heal it by swallowing a pill or a dose of medicine.
 It is just as foolish to try to cure catarrh of the nose and throat with pills and stomach dosing, for catarrh is a local disease, and needs special local healing treatment.
 The only natural and common sense method known for the cure of catarrh- al troubles is Hy-o-mei It is breath- ed through an ingenious pocket inhal- CT, so that its medicated air reaches the most remote air-cells of the nose throat and lungs. killing all catarrhal membranes, and restoring a healthy condition.
 If you suffer from catarrhal trou- bIes, such as oeffnsive breath, raising of mucous. frequent sneezing husky voice. discharge from the nose. drop pings in the throat loss of strength spasmodic coughing or feeling of tightness across the upper part of the chest, you should begin to use Hy-o- mel at once. It will destroy all dis ease germs in the nose throat and lungs, and provide the blood with ad- ditional ozone.
 The complete Hy-omei outfit with inhaler costs but $1.00. So strong Is E. c. Powders faith in the power of Hy-o-meI to cure all catarrhal trou- bIes that with every dollar outfit he gives an iron-clad guarantee to refund the money unless the remedy gives sat- asfaction.

COLOR SCIENCE

The following statements have been made from time to time by experts on color science
 Children under seven years of age usually prefer yellow to other colors.
 Women are more apt to have brown eyes than any other color. the propor- ton of the hue being thirty-fve out of every hundred.
 Colors passing through prism can be made to produce sounds; green and red make the loudest noises, whereas blue and yellow produce the faintest.
 Dew will not fall on certain colors. A yellow board will he covered with dew. while a red or black one will re- main quite dry.
 In ordinary cases of partial color blindness, of which there are many more than is commonly supposed, the color sensations that remain are blue and yellow. not blue and red or blue and green, as is generally assumed and even stated in text books.
 On the isthmus of Tehuantepec there has lately been found a flower that changes color, being white in the morning, red at noon and blue in the evening. It roughly does this work of clock. the changes being remark ably regular.

In the present controversy, controversy so graveIy involving his reputation before the country, his friends should advise him that he needs a second line, if not third.

 Sunday, too. was as usual a busy day at the club. It is the one usually chosen by the golfers for their birth day celebrations and yesterday was marked by a giving of another one of those affairs.
 Unlike a womans party the num- bers of years is not discussed but the numbers of strokes that have befal- len the links on that particular day --even the name of the man who gives the party is often withheld from publication, for he Is more than apt to give many other birthday parties during the year, which would thereby make him become prematurely old. Among those at the birthday celebra- tion Sunday were Messrs. Robert Hun ter, Frank Ruse. Stewart Taylor.E. J. Buck, James Taylor, l.. J. Davis, w. H. Monk. Jr., G. M. Luce. Raymond and Clarke.
