MANIAC HOLDS TOWN IN TERROR
Alleged "John the Baptist" Runs
Amuck at Edgewater, N. J.

Edgewater, N. j., Dec. 12.-Shouting
that he was John the Baptist, come
to save the world" an aged insane
man held this town in terror for
nearly an hour Friday afternoon. He
rushed down the main street, waving
a revolver and shouting, held up half
a dozen citizens, robbed the tills of
three business establishments, stole a
team of horses and exchanged many
shots with hastily-formed posse. His
wild career was checked when he was
bowled over by shots fired by mem
bers of the posse after chase of
more than half a mile.
After his capture the man said his
name was Arthur S. Pomeroy and
that he came from Nebraska. 1t is
believed that he escaped recently
from a sanitarium at Stamford, Conn.,
Pomeroy was shot twice, but his
wounds are not regarded as serious.
He will be removed to the state in
sane asylum at Morris Plains.

RECIPE FOR REAL TROUBLE.
cheerfuIIy Contributed to an Already
Unhappy World.

Trouble making is an older industry
than the manufacture of steel. Cain,
the trouble maker, got into action be-
fore Tubal Cain, the iron worker;
and Eve got Adam into hot water long
before the Boiler Makers union began
business
There are three kinds of trouble
imaginary, borrowed and real.
Imaginary trouble consists Of rail-
road accidents, earthquakes, fires, sui.
cides, the poorhouse, death, and the
grave, carefully mixed and taken
after late dinner, or a drop in the
stock market.
Borrowed trouble is the kind we get
from our relatives. Its principal in
gradients are visits, borrowed money,
birthday presents, advice and expecta-
tons. But the real article is pro-
duced as follows: Put the sandals OF
endurance on your feet, take your life
in your hands and follow by turn the
How-to-Be-Happy Philosopher, the
Preacher of Physical Culture and
the Apostle of Diet.-Puck.

battleship fleet is described.
Late in the spring of 1907, says the
report, it was decided to send the At
lantic fleet on practice cruise to the
Pacific. When the purpose of giving
the assemblage of 16 battleships such
practice cruise, under severe condi-
tions, was announced, says the secre-
tary, criticism from high technical
quarters was heard. The undertake
ing, it was said, was too monumental;
dangers more than multiplied with
numbers in such case; battleships
should not be sent around the globe
on any ordinary occasion; the skele-
tons of some of them would doubtless
be left in the Straits of Magellan; and
if the ships should round South Amer
lea, they would, one by one, arrive
with machineries loose and unservice-
able, and with crews rejecting the
condition and the material.
The facts are, Mr.. Metcalf says, that
the ships maintained schedule time,
and have practically taken care of
their own repairs on this cruise. The
repairs list sent in at the naval sta
ton, Cavite, P. l., has just been re-
ceived, and is significant. 1t shows
that after the voyage to the distant
borders Of the Pacific, the needed re-
pairs are negligible. The perform
ance of the Oregon, in 1898, has, it
seems, been substantially repeated.
This cruise, while hardly half over,
he declares, gave opportunity to get
better acquainted with republics to
the south of us, with our own island
possessions, with the new and vigor-
GUS branch of the British empire in
Australia, and particularly with
Japan; and has given to those coun-
tries better opportunity to get &C.
quainted with us. 1t has been every
where understood and accepted as it
was intended, as the reaching out of
a strong hand in friendly greeting on
the part of America, and the cordial
Inequalities extended to our fleet will
be long remembered, and have power
fully Influenced feeling in this
country,

TORTURED SIX MONTHS
BY Terrible Itching Eczema-Baby's
Suffering Was Terrible - Soon
Entirely Cured by Cuticura.

Eczema appeared on my sons face.
We went to a doctor who treated him
for three months. Then he was so bad
that his face and head were nothing
but one sore and his ears looked as il
they were going to fall off, so we tried
another doctor for four months, the
baby never getting any better. His
hand and legs had big sores on them
and the poor little fellow suffered so
terribly that he could not sleep. After
he had suffered six months we tried
set of the Cuticura Remedies and
the first treatment let h'le sleep and
rest well; in one week this sores were
gone and in two months h. mad clear
face. Now he is two years and has
never had eczema again. Mrs. Louis

PRESIDENT WORDS
HOUSE PASSES RESOLUTION TO
APPOINT COMMITTEE OF IN.
vESTIGATION.
ACTION BY SENATE
SOON TO FOLLOW
Representative Perkins Points Out
That Disregard Of Criticisms Might
Argue for Lack Of Respect-DecI-
sion Of Caucus Closely Followed.

Washington, Dec. 12.-1mmediately
after the converting of the house Fri
day Representative Perkins of New
York introduced a resolution, which
had heretofore been agreed upon, pro-
viding for the appointment of a spe-
cial committee of five members to
consider the proper means of dealing
with that portion of the presidents
message which criticises the course of
congress in prohibiting the detail of
secret service men to duty outside of
their own bureau. The resolution is
preceded by a preamble reciting some
expressions of the message. No ef-
fort is made to give voice to the feel
ing of the house. The resolution was
passed.
House Takes Action.
In presenting the resolution, Mr..
Perkins made brief statement saying
that he was satisfied that the house
would not hesitate to take such ac-
ton as the dignity of that body re-
quired. He said that some of the pres
ident's expressions were misleading.
In submitting the resolution, Mr.. Per-
kins said that the statements by the
president could not be lightly disre
garded, as they might impair the USE
fulness of the congress; that undue
obtuseness might argue a lack of
proper self-respect. A resolution
similar to that passed by the house
probably will be adopted by the SEN
ate early next week. 1t will provide
for the appointment of a committee
to recommend course of action rela-
tive to the presidents utterances.
No Debate on Appropriations.
When the legislative appropriation
bill was called up in the house of rep
resentatives Friday by Mr.. Bingham
of Pennsylvania the extraordinary sit
uation was presented that for the first
time in IL years no general debate
was asked for. Even the first read
ing of the bill was dispensed with by
unanimous consent.
Mr.. Bingham, having the measure
in charge, explained it's provisions,
the main features of which already
have been printed. It's reading for
amendment then was begun.
Sailing Dates for Cuban Troops.

turn to the United States of the army

to Be Filed Before Higher judiciary.

San Francisco, Dec. 12.-Abraham
Ruef, former political boss of San
Francisco, was convicted of bribery.
The verdict was returned exactly up.
on the stroke of four o'clock when the
deliberations of the jury had been pro-
longed throughout a period of "a
hours.
The warnings Of Judge William P.
Lawlor and the vigilance of the po-
lice checked all attempted demonstra-
ton, although the excitement in the
courtroom was SO intense that men
were thrust down into their seats or
held in the grasp of detectives as they
rose to obtain a better view of the
proceedings.
Impressive Scene in Court.
AS the jury filed into the courtroom
and took their seats in the jury box,
Judge Lawlor asked Foreman Nc
Namara:

he handed a folded slip of paper to

followed. Attorneys, defendant, spec

breath as the clerk slowly and DELHI

unfolded the paper and then, as every

CAUSE AND EFFECT
Good Digestion Follows Right Food.

Indigestion and the attendant dis
comforts of mind and body are GER
tain to follow continued use of improp-
err food.
Those who are still young and
robust are likely to overlook the fact
that, as dropping water will wear a
stone away at last, so will the use or
heavy, greasy, rich food, finally cause
loss of appetite and indigestion.
Fortunately many are thoughtful
enough to study themselves and note
the principle of Cause and Effect in
their daily food. A N. Y. young won.
an writes her experience thus:
Sometime ago had lot Of trouble
from indigestion, caused by too rich
food. l got so l was unable to d.
gest scarcely anything, and medicines
seemed useless.
"A friend advised me to try Grape.
Nuts food, praising it highly, and as
q last resort l tried it. / am thankful
to say that Grape-Nuts not only re-
lieved me Of my trouble, but built me
up and strengthened my digestive or-
gans so that can now eat anything I
desire. But l stick to Grape-Nuts."
