 ing the latter must have made some mistake in describing the property he had lost and the officers had surely lmisunderstoodsh shim as to the man sus- lpeeted.
 About that time another officer, who was innocent of any complcity in this conspiracy. opened the door. not know ing court was in session, and m audi
 ble tones told the cit.' marshal the coat they had been hunting for was restored and they need not look fur ther for the thief. Someone replied that they probably had him in custody already and this incident which was no josh, appealed to Taylor as per- haps the real trouble with which he had been connected through some mis- chance. Finally he urged the court to name a bali bond and Judge Galpn not needing him. announced that if he would take the whole bunch over to the nearest place where they could se- cure moist refreshments. the case would be dropped.
 In the same instant MT. Taylor came alive. MT Jacobs sauntered in from the next room, and it was all over but the hee- -hawing Taylor said he had been warned ia advance to be on the lookout for George Mintz but he was described to him as man with a heavy mustaclle. the which he laid aside some "eeks ago.

THE AMERICAN PILGRIMS FAT THE ANNUAUl DINNER
Mark Twain is Glad to Hear that the Nation is Becoming MonetariIy Re- Iigious Again.

New York, Feb 19.-Whitelaw Reid, ambassador to Great Britian, in a speech tonight at the dinner of the ilgrims Of the United States at Del mOnico's, declared that the talk of the obligation O. Great Britain to sustain Japan in war against the United States was nonsense. The ambassador said: There is not the ghost of a possibility of war with Japan and that there is every reason to think the Japanese are sincerely our friends"
 Our relations with Great Britain the ambassador said. were cordial and there were no serious complications
 Much of the fun of the evening was afforded by Mark Twain. He said he was gratified that congress was about 10 restore to the coinage the words Tn God We Trust He continued: q knew we would get into difficulty if we left those words off and straight way trouble came.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is In Preserving Health and Beauty.
Cost Nothinu to Try,

Nearly everybody knows that char coal is the safest and most efficient disinfectant and purifier in nature, but few realize it's value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose.
 Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of it the better; it is not drug at all. but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present in the stomach and intestines and car ries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking. drinking or after eating on- ions and other odorous vegetables
 Charcoal effectually clears and inn proves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic.
 It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; it disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh.
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best charcoal 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 loz- enges. the charcoal being mixed with honey.
 The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condi- tion of the general health, better com pleXion. sweater breath and purer blood, and the beauty of it is that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but, on the contrary, great benefit.
 Buffalo physician. in speaking of the benefits of charcoal. says: 'I ad- wise Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stom- ach and bowels. and to clear the com plexion and purify the breath. mouth and throat; l also believe the liver is greatly benefited by the daily use of them; they cost but twenty-fi five cents a box at drug stores, and although in some sense a patent preparation, yet l believe I get more and better char coal in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges than in any of the ordinary charcoal tablets"

FIFTEEN MEN WHIPPED
Sheriff Well Tired When Job
Done But Victims Stand Pain.

Wilmington, Del, Oct 6.-About
200 spectators gathered at the
county workhouse and witnessed one
of the largest exhibitions of whip
pings at the post in recent years.
Fifteen men, mostly negroes, were
punished and the sturdy arm of
Chief Warden Crawford was tired
when he was through with his I'M
pleasant job. The victims, however,
were a nervy crowd and there was
not much complaint from them as
the lash descended upon their backs
Charles Jackson and George H.
Owens, negroes, received the ex-
IRENE penalty Of 40 lashes each.
Jackson groaned after the twentieth
lash, but Owens uttered scarcely a
sound. Harvey Barrett, negro,
took his 20 lashes unconcernedly
and the lashes Of the cat cut into Gill
Browns back, but he took 20 of
them without crying out. Edward
McDonough, white, almost collapsed
while 20 lashes were being laid upon
him. John Smith started chewing to-
bacco as the cat descended, while
Charles Augustus face rivaled that of
contortionist, but he bore up well.
Edward Sweeney seemed to be in
more pain than any of the others
during his punishment, but he went
through the 10 lashes without an
outcry. NJ

Under the Greenwood Tree true
to the arboral suggestion of it's
name, this play is laid principally in
forest Businesses, while its first act,
by way of contrast, is in richly ap-
pointed London drawing room. The
heroine, impersonated by Miss Davis,
is Mary Hamilton, rich young So
ciety girl, who flees from the pur-
suit of matrimonial fortune hunters
to voluntary exile in the depths of
the forests with her secretary and
companion. Far from the inanities of
London society, she pitches her camp
in gypsy van, and there. in the last
place she would have expected, en-
counters her fate In the person of a
handsome young squire who comes
to turn the campers out of his grove,
but is himself captured by the pseudo
gypsy maid.
