COUNT BONPS FATHER DISCOURSES
ON THE RIDICULOUS SAGAN BATTLE

Paris, France. - The De Sagan-
Castellane quarrel continues to excite
all aristocratic Paris. Clubmen crit
icise Prince Helie de Sagan because
he has made French titled aristocracy
ridiculous in the eyes of the public
by appealing to an humble police
court for satisfaction instead of in
stantly challenging Count Boni de
Castellane, divorced husband of Anna
Gould, to duel. and the plain people
are chuckling over the decadence of
an aristocracy which prefers settling
domestic scandals In a police court in
stead of with swords and pistols on
the dueling field.
The Marquis de Castellane, father
OF Count ,Boni, freely discussed the
quarrel, saying:
You ask me to give the exact re-
port of the violent encounter which
took place between my son and the
Prince de Sagan. This / do with all
the greater pleasure, as 1t gives me
the opportunity to rectify the false
accounts which got into some of the
newspapers.

WARNS PUBLIC AGAINST GRIP AND PNEUMONIA
Dr. Samuel G. Tracy That Should Be
Observed to Prevent These Diseases.

New York City.-The recent report
of the Health Board shows that dur
Ing the one month there were 1902
deaths from pneumonia, many of
them beginning with influenza. In
addition to this there have been 1875
deaths from influenza without pneu-
monia.
1t seems fitting time to say a
word about the preventive treatment
Of these fatal diseases. Here are
three suggestive rules laid down by
DIR. Samuel G.. Tracy:
1. Keep mouth, teeth, tonsils and
nose clean.
2, Keep vital resistance of the
body up to the standard
8. Breathe plenty of fresh air,
both In the house and out OF it, but
protect the body from cold and
draughts by proper clothing.
1t is necessary TO keep the mouth,
nose. tonsils. etc., clean, because the
mucous membrane of these parts, es-
pecially the tonsils, is not infrequent-
ly the, port of entry of the germs of
several infectious diseases, as infiu-
enza, pneumonia and acute rheuma-
tism. The little depressions in the
tonsils are favorlte place for these
germs to lodge; when the tonsils are
infiamed and the vital resistance of
the body lowered from any cause,

LEWIS FURNITURE SOLD.

Avondale Especially. - Household
furniture belonging to Irwin A.
Lewis, the young Franklin township
farmer, awaiting trial in West Chest
er for the murder of his stepdnugh-
ter, Mary Newlin, last June, has been
sold at public sale. Mrs. Lewis and
the baby that was born to her on
July 4, but a short time after the
tragedy, are now making their home
with John Newlin, the father Of the
young woman.
The matter OF asking for change
of venue in the trial has been men,
toned, but so far no move has been
made to do So District Attorney
MacElree has not definitely decided
yet whether or not he will be wit
ness in the case and turn the work
for the Commonwealth over to AS
sistant District Attorneys Harris l..
Sproat and Robert S. Gawthrop.
Lewis is said to have made a
statement to Mr.. MacElree to the
effect that he buried the child af-
ter she had fallen from a wagon
house door. Physicians claim that
she was buried alive, so 1t is this
point that Mr.. MacElree desires to
bring out at the trial

these germs are taken into the sys-
tenn, circulated in the blood, and
multiply with great rapdity. To pre-
vent their development 1t is necessary
to antiseptically cleanse their breed
ing places and keep them clean, es-
pecially IL one spends considerable
time in the rooms of those who have
influenza or pneumonia. AS a clean
ser / would recommend a simple an
tiseptic alkaline wash. The follow
ing formula can be made at home or
at the druggists:
Powdered boracic acid, 18 grains;
thymol, / grain; alcohol, / ounce;
table salt. 20 grains; baking soda, 80
grains; essence wintergreen, tea
spoonfuls; glycerine, tablespoonful;
distilled water, ounces.
Use the solution plain as a mouth
wash or gargle, and diluted one-half
with water 1t can be used as an anti
septic spray for the nose.
This solution should be used daily
after breakfast or at bedtime, and
oftener II much exposed. The prep
aration Is not poisonous, and no harm
Will come IL little Is swallowed.
In some cases l recommend the
use OF peroxide of hydrogen to cleanse
the throat and mouth before the ap-
plication of the antiseptic alkaline So
luton.

OPPOSE NEW RoAD LAW.

Williamsport Especially AT the
closing session of the annual conven-
ton of the Pennsylvania Farmers
Alliance and Industrial Union, held
here, the representatives from nearly
sixty counties expressed themselves
in favor of legislation that will revo-
lutionize the present policy of the
State Highway Department, and also
the repeal of the State road law pass
ed by the Legislature in 1908. The
primary objections offered against
the system of management in vogue
in the State Highway Department is
the high salaries paid to the Com
missioner and his ASSISTANTS, which
they claim are exorbitant, while
township supervisors are obliged to
serve gratis.
The objection offered to the State
road law of 1903 was that the ad-
ditional 81 tax, which is levied upon
every taxable in each township, In
addition to the regular road tax levy,
was an imposition and an outrage.
Tho farmers want more money for
county roads by appropriation from
the State believing that too much of
the State funds are expended foollsh-
ly, especially for salaries.
The delegates to this convention
believe that there should be appro-
priations to township supervisors
for the purpose of constructing and
maintaining good roads from the
State Department. President w. A.
Gardner, of Potter County, said:
AS long as township supervisors
are dependent only upon the revenue
from road taxation for the mainte-
nance of roads in Pennsylvania, es-
pecially the mountainous districts,
will always bear a reputation for
poor county roads. Too much money
is being wasted by the State High
way Department that would other
wise prove of great benefit to the
roads of the State"

st. Pierre de Chaillot, a requiem mass
was being said for Lady Burlington,
who was aunt of both Count Boni and
De Sagan. You are not In ignorance
of the rumors between my daughter
in-law, Nine. Anna Gould, and the
Prince de Sagan, which have been
afloat for the last six months.
Leaving the church ten minutes
before the requiem services were
over he passed my son, and, looking
him straight in the face, as II delib-
erately to provoke him, took his hat
and rammed it on HIS head, thus de-
flying all the rules of good taste, and,
as IL to say, Monsieur, l do not care a
hang for you The insult was such
that it deserved immediate correction,
and my son did not hesitate to ad-
minister 1t. My son left church, and,
following De Sagan, spat squarely in
his face, saying, Here is the New
Years gift which my children re-
quested me to give you'll On this the

Personal ResponsibiIIty.

IN a consular report from Ger
many which was published some
months ago the statement was made
that not only in every wreck, col
lision or minor railroad accident
thoroughly investigated" in that
country, but that Invariably some
one is held responsible and punished
for the occurrence" except where
the proof is conclusive that human
vigilance and care could not have
averted It, 1t Is strange and per-
picking to contrast this condition
with the situation in this country
Apart from the fact that as yet no
provision has been made for thorough
governmental investigation of acci-
dents and for reports definitely fixing
responsibility, there is the graver cir
cumstance that no one here is ap-
parently in danger of punishment for
his share of responsibility for rail-
road accident. So far no one has
ever been convicted for negligence
causing a wreck, and the result of
recent trials is very significant, to
say the least
The other day jury acquitted the
engineer, conductor and brakeman
who had been indicted for the Terra
Gotta, d. c., wreck of a year ago,
one of the worst railroad disasters
In the history of such calamities.
The evidence in regard to the signals
was conflicting, and the engineer
proved that he had worked extra
hours-of his own free willard
gone long without sleep Immediately
before the accident. Some two weeks
ago New York court ordered a ver-
diet of acquittal in the case of the
vice president and general manager
of the New York Central, who had
been indicted for negligence in con-
nection with the terrible Woodlawn
wreck. No direct responsibility had
been traced to the defendants, who,
In the opinion of the Judge, could
not be expected to know the exact
condition of every curve, switch, mile
of track, ETC., on great line.-Chi-

LYDIA z. PINKHHM

Nature and a woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field TO
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the Laots and herbs Of the
field Lydia E4oin1ham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their pc
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
cious than any combination ofdrugs.
Lydia L. PinlSham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 515 NC. St.,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes;
complete restoration to health
means SO much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women | am willing
to make my troubles public

ing with the worst forms of female ills.

physicians without help. No tongue

could hardly walk. About two years
