COULDN'T BUILD FIRE,
BUT ENGINES CAME

Seeing smoke pouring from the win
dow of John Reilly's place at sol Broad
street. last night, some excitable indi-
vidual, whose name could not be
learned, sent in an alarm of fire. The
Salvage Corps was first on the scene,
and as the men who dash through the
streets daily in the RED Devil''
mounted the stairs to the second floor
they thought from the volume of
smoke that they would have a stubborn
blaze to fight.
Startled by this invasion OF his
home, Mr.. Reilly emerged from <fe
haze and asked for some explanation
of the surprise party.
"ShoW us the FIRE said the leader of
the corps, and Wen see about the
explanation afterwards"
II have not been able to build a fire
yet" spluttered Mr.. Reilly, but /

hack to it's headquarters on Washing

of gasoline left in its wake was a tinge

DIES
FOR Staying OF
CALDWELL GIRL
Smilingly Prays as He Seats
Himself in the Electric
Chair at Trenton.

TRENTON, Jan. 12.--John Mente-
sena was electrocuted last.night for kill
ing Edith Pickett, IA years old. at Cald-
well, on September 9. Mentesana had
told a keeper that he intended to fight
on the way to the chair. but Father
Aloysius Fish, the prison chaplain, had
talked with the prisoner, and he went
quietly.
When taken from his cell, Mentesana
said to Father Fish: Give me the
cross, 1 will carry it." 1t was handed
to him and he also carried a crucifix.
Father Griffith recited the prayer and
Mentesana repeated it, smilingly.
At 9:11:50 the first contact was given.
for one minute and five seconds. The
second was given at 9:14:45, continuing
seven seconds. At 9:15 Mentesana was
declared dead.
Mentesana, who was convicted in
Newark, shot the Pickett child while in
ms room in a house adjoining her moth
er's home, and then fired two bullets
into his own head. He had boarded
with Mrs. Pickett and pretended TO have
fallen in owe with the girl.
On the day of the murder Mentesana
showed her a roll of money, and she
ven to his room. The defense was
that there was a suicide pact and that
the girl shot herself.

a%ppointive board, of five commissioners,
each appointed for five years.
Such a hospital would be designed to
accommodate Inc cure not only those

ism, but persons addicted to using NOR
Prime, opium, cocaine and other mar
cotics to an injurious extent. The bill
also provides that confirmed drunkards

judges.
The name of the proposed institution,
the commission recommends, shall BID

bodies a clause STIMULATING that the
superintendent of the institution shall
be a graduate physician. His duties
and those of the other officers are de-
tailed. The superintendent, it provides,
shall be removable by the Governor,
flor cause.
The board of nag will be given
powers similar to those possessed by
overseers of the poo in compelling rela-
tives of inmates to contribute to their
support. Children, grandchildren, par
ents and grandparents may be COM
PEELED to support their relatives if the
bill becomes a law.
In cases of Indulgence the county from
which the inebriate halls may be taxed
with the payment Of his maintenance,

In cases of doubt as to an appli-
cant's eligibility, or in event of an al
legged inebriates uhwillingness to go to
the hospital without being legally adj

a judge and jury shall either convict
or acquit the person of being an in
ebriate.
A system of granting paroles is con-
templated. The maximum time any in
mate may be kept without a parole Is
set at tive years. The limit of deten-
ton without commitment is fifteen
days. Severe penalties are contem-
plated for employees giving liquor to
patients, the offense being made a mis-
demeanor.

pay the cost of looking for him until
he is found or the search is abandoned.

NOT A SQUIRE ALL"
Separate Remedies, Each Devised fOf
the Treatment of Particular
AiIment.

There is no "cure-all' among the
Rexall Remedies. There are different
and separate medicines, each one de-
vised for a certain human ailment or
a class of ailments closely allied. For
instance, Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are
recommended for the positive relief OF
stomach irritation, indigestion, flatul-
ency and dyspepsia. They are rich in
Bismuth- Subnitrate, Pepsin and Car
minatives. They are prepared by spec
ial processes which perfect and en-
nance the great remedial value of
these well-known medicinal agents
This remedy sells for 25c cents, so
cents and $1.00 per package. Every
one suffering from stomach disorder
should try ReXall Dyspepsia Tablets,
inasmuch as they cost nothing if they
do not satisfy.
Remember, Dodson's Pharmacy is
the only store in Americas where
these remedies may be obtained, and
every one in need of medicine is urged
to investigate and take advantage of
the frank and generous manner in
which they are sold.
