MANY TAKE IT
Tremendous Popularity of
Vegetable Prescription.
RELIEVING CHRONIC CASES
Anyone Can Mix IL at HOme-NO Suf-
ferer from kidney or Bladder
Trouble, or Rheumatism, should
Leave IL Untried, as No Harmful
Results Can Follow It's Use.

That the readers OF this paper appfs-
eiate advice when given in good faith Is
plainly demonstrated by the fact that
one well-known local pharmacy supplied
the ingredients for the vegetable pre-
scription" many times within the past
two weeks. The announcement OF this
simple, harmless mixture has certainly
accomplished much in reducing the great
many cases Of kidney complaint and
rheumatism here, relieving pain and mis-
cry, especially among the older pOpula-
ton, who are always suffering more or
less with bladder and urinary troubles,
backache. and particularly rheumatism.
Another well-known druggist asks US
to continue the announcement Of the pre-
scripdon. 1t is doing so much real good
here, he continues. that il would be a
crime not TO do so. Il cannot be repeated
too often, and further states many cases
Of remarkable cures wrought
The following is the prescription. Of
simple ingredients. making a harmless.
inexpensive compound. which any person
can prepare by shaking well in a bottle:
Fluid Extract Dandelion. one-half ounce:
Compound KargOn. one ounce; Compound
Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Any
first-class drug store will sell this small
amount OF each ingredient, and the dose
for adults is one teaspOOnful 70 be taken
after each meal and again at bedtime.
There is enough here 10 last for one
week, If taken according 10 directions
Good results will be apparent from the
first few doses.

HANSBROUGH'S PLAN
Commissioners Object to Amend
ment Of Track Bill.
Recall Former Statement that Eff
forts in This Direction May De-
feat Filling Public Need.

The District Commissioners yesterday
forwarded to the Senate Committee on
the District Of Columbia two letters bear
ing upon the amendments offered By
Senator Hansbrough to the Commission
ers bill providing for permanent traction
facilities 10 the Union Station and for
changes in the routes OF some Of the
street railway lines for the purpose OF
making communication with the new
station from remote sections Of the city
more direct
IN both instances the Commissioners
express the conviction that the proposed
amendments should not be added to the
bin as originally proposed, and refer &c
their statement in the letter which ac-
companied the draft Of the bill as sent
70 Senator Gallmger 10 the effect that
efforts 10 saddle upon the bill amend
ments carrying legislation calculated tC
arouse opposition would be fatal 70 its
passage within a brief time, and delay
the relief needed.
Senator Hansbrough's amendments re-
late 10 universal transfers and the i'm
position OF a franchise tax upon al pub
lie service corporations doing business
IN the Ditr.ct.
The Con raissioners offer 20 hold pub
lie hearings upon the questions raised
by the proposed amendments. and 20 re
port TO Senator Gallinger the results
OF their injury. II the legislation pro.
posed I'm the amendments should be re-
ferred 10 them as a separate matter foI

Col. Plunkett Nabs Man Who Rob.
bed Him of $4,000.
Wyoming Pioneer Listened 10 the
Wiies of Broadway, and Lost
OvercOat and Papers.

New York, Dec. 26-Col Dick Plunkett.
Of Wyoming, famous in his day as an In
dian scout and cowboy, now a mine
owner and warm personal friend Of
President Roosevelt, lost a so overcoat.
containing valuable papers. while dining
in the Hotel Breslin on Christmas Eve.
and tonight he had the pleasure Of caus-
Ing the arrest Of the man whom he ac-
cuses Of the theft. and Of recovering the
papers, which he says are worth $4,000 10
him.
Col Dick and Alfred Learing, e mining
engineer, Of IS West Fifty-ninth street.
We're dining together in the Breslin when
a dapper young man engaged them in
conversation Col Dick thought Learing
knew the man, and the mining engineer
believed him to be friend Of the scout.
and il wasn't until some time later that
they discovered he was stranger to
both
While the young man was at the table,
Col. Dick summoned George Martin, a
bellboy, and instructed him to turn his
coat over TO the bartender for safekeep-
ing. Later the colonel went upstairs with
Learing, and the stranger straightway
called Martin and told him that the colo
mel wanted his coat. The bellboy had
seen the three together. and. thinking il
all right, he got the coat from the case
and handed il over
That was the last seen Of the young
man until tonight. when Col. Plunkett
and friend spotted him at Twenty
seventh street and Fifth avenue. The
colonel grabbed the stranger and held on
while the friend hurried to the Breshn
and got Detective Curran, the house
officer, who placed him under arrest and
took him to the West Thirtieth street
police station.
When arraigned this afternoon, the
prisoner said he was Fred Welsh. a re-
porter, from Boston, living at 40 West

SIXTY-DAY CLAUSE IGNORED
Few Savings Bank Depositors Take
Advantage Of Their Privilege.
Deposits Exceed Withdrawals In
New York Institutions and
Bankers Are EIated.

New York, Dec. 26.-Much confidence
was restored in savings bank circles to-
day when but few persons appeared at
the expiration Of the sixty-day clause.
which the banks had taken advantage Of
TO fortify themselves. Bank officials to-
night expressed themselves as being
highly elated over the situation. fact
that made them more comfortable was
that in nearly every case the deposits
were more than the Withdrawals by a
good margin. Several others announced
a large number OF new accounts opened.
A typical Illustration of the situation
to-day was at the Immigrant Industrial
Bank, ia depOsitoTs having served no
tice. which would have taken an aggre-
gate Of $4,000 to satisfy The day was
well along before anybody showed UP for
his money, and then they came few and
far between. only nine applying. Ten
thousand dollars was drawn by those
who served notice, and this was thought
very gratifying.
About the same amount was taken out
at the Bank for Savings a little less
than Z per cent Of what had been ap-
piled for.
The BOwery Savings Banks increase In
deposits Tuesday was $4,000; to-day Il
was approximately $4,000
President James Quinlan, OF the Green
wich Savings Bank. said that most Of
the depositOTs' notices, which aggregated
close TO $4,000 under the sixty-day no.
tice. had been revoked. and that persons
desiring their money were coming In
slowly.
II was pointed out by a bank official
today that the Withdrawals, in view OF
Christmas shopping times, were insig
nifcant
1t Is expected after the first OF the year
that there may be Withdrawals. because
there are always persons who need
money for investments. but this. ii is
predicted. will amount TO less than per
cent.
1t was predicted by experienced bank
ers that not many persons, after thinking
It over and watching the turn Of the
financial furry would want 10 take their
money out of the savings banks when
the time came. This was justified by
reports from the various banks to-day.

INDIAN CONGRESS MEETS.
Reception Accorded Laj Patraf.
Whom British Had DepOrted.

Surat, Bombay, Dec. 26.-After twen-
three years Of successful work, the
Indian National Congress. now in an
nual session here. is threatened with
wreck. TrOl.,.le has arisen from the
divergence Of opinion between the mod
crate reformers, who rely upon the
aid Of the British government in car
rying out schemes for the betterment
Of the natives, and the Extremists of
the type who caused the recent alarm
in Bengal
The crisis came at to-day's meeting. at
which there We're nearly 1900 delegates
from all parts OF India and some thou
sands Of spectators. The Extremists who
are in large majority. demanded that
the resolutions passed last year in favor
OF self-government, nationalism, boycott
ting Of British goods, &c, be included IN
the agenda for this year.
The Moderates would not give rlaran-
tees. and the Extremists determined TO
oppose the election Of DR.. Chose. a Mod
crate, for president When DR.. Chooses
name was proposed they howled It down
and made q general uproar, which pre-
vented the session continuing.
An adjournment was taken until To-
morrow. There is talk of compromise
tonight. but the final disruption of the
congress into two separate organizations
IS feared.
One Of the chief features of the dav
was the popular reception accorded Lai
Patrai. who was deporJeG by the British
government some time ago, but who was
released lately. The crowds in the streets
acclaimed him, unhitched the horses at
tached 70 his carriage. and drew him In
triumph. He received another ovation
when he entered the hall where the con-
gress was sitting. The Extremists named
nm Tor the presidency, but he declined
the honor

In ninety days, possibly" said Mr.
Capers. the collector may recommend re-

longer to size up the situation we'll enough
10 know Just what the requirements will

AS for the revenue agents. the force.
If anything. viii be increased rather than
reduced AS a matter of fact. there will
probably be more business for them after
the prohibition law goes into effect than
there is now. Then, they Will lave 10

other branches of Illicit liquor dealing
That the law Will probably result in a
reduction in the future. however, seems
pretty certain, for it was but recently Il
became necessary TO consolidate the Ten

Patchogue. Long Island. Dec. 26.-John
r. Vunk, State transfer tax appraiser,
to-day filed his report in the matter of
the estate OF George c. Taylor, of Deal
River. who died September Is.
Taylor. son of the late Moses Taylor,
lived as a recluse on his estate near
Islip. and was reputed to be worth about
S2O,O0O0 600. The report made by Mr. Vunk
shows that the estate is not quite half
that sum. The exact figures are $9.212,-
S2LS7.
The estate consists chiefly OF stocks
and bonds. the estimated value being
1851, 77S.6S. The cash in various
banks. together with sums due the
estate, adds to this S1.15O, 1875. House
hold furniture. jewelry. and the like
bring the total personal estate TO S.
76O,s2137. The rest is made uD of the
East Islip home property. S425,00O and
the Edgemere place, $27.50O.
The debts. which include doctors
and funeral expenses and the commits
Eions Of the executors. are $2IS,O26.6S.
These. together with requests of ST.
10000 TO charitable institutions, re-
duce the net estate transferred to ST.
S25.304.49.
Handsome Transfer Tax.
The total realized by the transfer tax is
$2e6.95L7S, and is one Of the largest ever
appraised in Suffolk County. For many
years Mr.. Taylor had as a housekeeper
Mrs. Betsy Head. who lived on his estate
with her daughter Lena Mrs. Head be-
came in effect the business manager OF
1ir. Tayior's affairs, and when she died.
last June, her own estate. was worth S4O.-
600 in real and SS25.OcO in personal prop
erty. Lena, Mrs. Heads daughter, eIoped
with William F. Bodley six years ago.
BOdley was coachman on the Taylor
place. Mrs. Head in her viii cut her
daughter out with $. There was much
wonder whether Mr.. Taylor might not
leave sum OF money TO Mrs Bodley
after all
There was In Mr.. TaylOTs viii a clause
leaving $4,000 TO Lena, but on April 50,
1901. that was revoked, and she got moth
ing from him. either. Mrs. Heads estate
was left to charitable institutions mainly.
Mrs. Head, had she outlived Mr.. Tay-
Tor. would have received his real estate
a, isiip. together with jewelry and other
~ email property of great value, together
with 100000 in bonds and securities.
