warrant sworn TO by Post-office Inspector

The numerous detectives engaged In

the moment when the young man faced
the commissioner that the prisoner would
waive examination and consent 10 go al
once 70 West Virginia When the com
missioner stated briefly the purpose OF the
warrant and asked Baker if he consented
without examination to the order OF re-

AT this point a lawyer. whose name has
not been learned, interposed and said:
We do not waive examination and ask
that the hearing go over"
This break in the orderly proceeding as
IL had been laid ont by the detectives
amazed them, but the commissioner seem
ed TO recognize in the speaker a lawyer.
and responded briefly:
The hearing will go over until Mon

DARK FOR JUDGE BLACKSTONE
Damaging Admission Made in Hear
ing Before Legislative Committee.
Jurist Admits He Sent Message Ask
ing that Music BE Permitted
After Midnight.
,pccial to The Washington Herald.

Special to The Washington Herald
Richmond. Va. Feb. 2l.-The resting OF
the case by the prosecution and the ad-
mission of Judge Blackstone that he was
in a resort on the night that telephone
message was sent to Mayor Furnace. OF
Phoebus. asking that the music be al
lowed to continue after midnight. were
the two main features which character
lied the investigation OF the charges
against the judge in to-days hearing
The evidence is of such character that
1t is hardly probable that the defense will
attempt 10 refute the charges of immor-
ality against the Eleventh circuit judge.
and the thirty-siX witnesses who have
been summoned will give evidence in con-
nection with the charges Of insobriety
and incompetency.
Even Judge Blackstone's accusers ad-
mitted on the stand to-day that. while the
Judge is not as brilliant as formerly. be
is still able to dispatch the business Of
his courts with a rapidity and exaetness
perhaps unequaled by any other judge in
the State.
Perhaps the most sensational testimony
Of the day was that given by Mayor Fur
mace. He stated on the witness stand
that he was called up late at night one
day last summer and asked that the mu-
sic be allowed TO continue past the ordi-
nance hour. The witness said thet he at
first refused 10 grant the request, but was
told that Judge Blackstone wished 20
speak 10 him. A voice supposedly that OF
the accused judge made the request
which was granted.
Judge Blackstone's admission that he
was the sender OF the message. was made
at the afternoon session. The judge said:
Il am free TO admit that I was in the
house referred TO at the time the message
was sent I desire TO have all reference

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful II Il
in Preserving Health and Beauty.
Cost Nothing to Try.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
is the safest and most efficient disinfect-
ant and purifier in nature, but few realize
its value vixen taken into the human sys-
tenn for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal Is a remedy that the more you
take of it the better; it is not a drug at
all. but simply absorbs the gases and i'm
purities always present in the stomach
and intestines and carries them out OF the
system
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking. drinking. or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and improves
the complexion, It whltens the teeth. and
further acts as a natural and emlnently
safe cathartic.
II absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels: it dis
infects the mouth and throat from the
poison Of caIarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another. but probably the best char
coal and the most for the money is in
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they are
composed of the finest powdered Willow
charcoal and other harmless antiseptics
IN tablet form, or rather in the form Of
large pleasant tasting lozenges. the char
coal being mixed With honey.
The daily use of these loZenges will
soon tell in much improved condition Of
the general health. better complexion.
sweeter breath. and purer blood. and the
beauty of 1t is that no possible harm can
result from their continued use, but. on
the contrary, great benefit.
A Buffalo physician. in speaking of the
benefits OF charcoal. says: II advise
Starts Charcoal Lozenges TO all patients
suffering from gas in the stomach and
bowels. and 20 clear the complexion and
purify the breath. mouth, and throat; ]
also believe the liver is greatly benefited
by the daily use Of them; they cost but
p cents a box at drug stores, and al
though IN some sense patent prepara-
ton. yet believe I get more and better
charcoal In Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges
than in any of the ordinary charcoal
tablets"
