AN VICTORIOUS END.
Little Father of Parole System"
Loses His Job.

Chicago, Feb. 20.-Judge Mckenzie
Cleland's reign as the Little Father
of the Parole System as practiced by
him in the municipal court has
reached an inglorious end.
Judge Cteland has been in the pub
lie eye for some time because of his
habit of suspending sentences during
good behavior and his efforts to re
form accused persons brought before
him in the criminal branch. His fell
low judges have declared his methods
illegal At a stormy meeting of the
juristS he was transferred to the civil
branch and the order will take effect
Monday. At a last session of his ere
porting court. at which his charges
were scheduled to appear, his pa
roles were either discharged or were
sent to the Bridewen to serve the
original penalties imposed.
Twentyfour judges were arrayed
against him in extraordinary session.
Chief Justice Olson summed UP the
case against Judge Cleland.
1.-The courts quarrel with you" said
he, addressing Judge Cleland, sis not
that you may have shown kindness to
the prisoners brought before you. for
that is done every day by every judge
of this court. The courts quarrel
with you is that you have usurped
rights of citizenship that are as old
as the Magma Charta. You have over
flQU6n the IlSnlS OL lII6 poor anu IHe
ignorant, who knew nothing of writ
of habeas corpus or an appeal to the
supreme court
Other judges challenged C1eland to
stand before the people and confess
himself ignorant of the principles of
the law he had violated and the chief
justice declared that the jurist under
fire acknowledged the danger from
the upper courts when, as he once
did he said he would dismiss the
% a ms St r.
der to keep an appeal or an applica-
ton for writ of habeas corpus from
being heard.
Judge Cleland fatty told the as
sembIed judges that what he did in
his court was none of their business
and that as long as he continued as a
judge he would administer justice as
he saw fit.

CHICAGO MARKET GONE.
Railroad Interests Purchase South
Water Street Land.

Chicago, Feb. 2O.-The Record
Herald today in news article says
that the beginning of the end of
South Water street as the greatest
fruit and vegetable market in the
world has been signalized by the an
nouncement that the last deal
virtually has been closed in a $1O,-
100000 real estate transaction which
will give Chicago a large new produce
market just south of the loop district.
1.-THE announcement too. solves
Chicago's greatest real estate mystery.
For four years there has been per-
sistent buying through brokers of land
in the vicinity of the site for the new
market. Real estate men have puz-
zled over the motive without gaining
the slightest clew.
Supervision of the purchase of this
site was intrusted to w. B. Jansen,
fourth vice president of the Santa Fe
railroad. President B. F. WincheI, of
the Rock Island railroad. also in
tcrested, is in New York and it is be-
lieved that details regarding the fu-
ture OF the project will be announced
when he returns.
although the official announc ce-
ment has not yet been given out, it is
believed that officials of the Wabash,
Rock Island. Santa Fe. Panhandle,
and Western Indiana lines will be
found to be actively interested in the
success of the venture

Makes It Appear to Members
That Today Is Tuesday.
He Holds That the House Never
Turns Clock Back.

Washington, Feb. 20.-The question
of whether yesterday was Friday or
Monday caused parliamentary
tangle in the house of representatives
and incidentally no little amusement.
Under the ordinary procedure the
day was set apart for the considera-
ton of bills on the private calendar,
but because of the house having re-
cessed each. day since Monday under
the rules it was still the legislative
day of that date Mr. Simms (Tenn.)
maintained that 1t was Friday, while
the speaker insisted amid laughter it
was Monday.
''It is true" said the speaker, "this
is Friday in the calendar made by the
sun but by the journal of the house
it is Monday"
The Tennessee member pleaded for
recognition of private bills the jour-
nal withstanding.

The speaker suavely replied that

''It would" solemnly replied the
speaker.
''Then move we adjourn" said Mr..

Before the question could be put
Mr.. Macon, (Ark.), suggested that
the clock be turned back saying he
had several times seen the house do
that.

BY EIGHTH OF AN INCH.
Steamboat Misses Entrance to Haven
and Is Wrecked

Bridgeport, Conn.,, Feb. 20.-The
steamboat John H. Starin, of the Star
in Transportation line, ran ashore off
the outer breakwater last night and
was in precarious position this
morning with the waves breaking high
over her and she was in a heavy list.
There were no passengers on the Star
in and all of the crew We're rescued in
safety by the tug Sarah McWilliams,
although Captain Van PeIt and the
chief engineer at first refused to leave
the vessel and stayed on board after
other members of the crew had been
taken off.
The John H. Starin went ashore
during the gale which swept Long Is
land sound while she was on her way
from New Haven to New York In
seeking a haven here she missed the
narrow entrance between the two
breakwaters by an eighth of an inch
and struck the ground. There is no
life saving station here and going to
the Starin'S assistance the tug Sarah
McWilliams was beaten back by the
gale and sea. She found the steamer
with her hold half full of water and
waves breaking high over her. The
stewardess, Alice Bouton was suffer-
ing from shock and exposure and was
removed to the Bridgeport hospital
The Starin was one of the oldest boats
running on the sound. She was 2O2
feet long with a gross tonnage of 9O4
tons, carrying a crew of % men with
three officers and a stewardess.

Truth and
Quality

appeal to the Well Informed in every
walk of life and are essential to permanent
success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy of
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any debilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
It acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection
able substances. To get its beneficial
effects always purchase the genuine
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co., only, and for sale by all leading drug
rsts.

Foul Breath
Made Pure and Sweet BY the Use of
Stuart's Charcoal LOZenges.
Trial Package Sent Free.

Do not go among your friends with
a breath so odious as to make your
presence distasteful. Foul breath is
capable of easy removal if you will
take a little time to overcome 1T. Gen
orally foul breath comes from one of
two causes. impure gases or foul di-
gestive fluids.
Charcoal is the strongest absorbent
of foul gases known. 1t positively
attracts poisons and neutralizes their
evil effects.
A noted French physician swal-
lowed strychnine enough to kill three
men and with "a teaspoonful of char
coal removed the bad effects of this
terribly swift poison
A little charcoal in a bed room or
cellar will make foul air pure. Pure
willow charcoal mixed with honey
are the component parts of Stuart's
Charcoal Lozenges and pure breath Is
the result of their use after meals
Simply dissolve two or three after
meals and at bed time and foul
breath fees at once. No matter how
you cause these gases, whether by
bad food alcohol or abuse of the
stomach, Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges
will stop gas making and sweeten
the breath.
They are perfectly harmless and
the eating of a box would cause you
no Inconvenience whatever.
Charcoal is hard to prepare for the
stomach because it must be strong
and pure and most people will not
take it unless made .palataole:
Stuarts inimitable process presents
charcoal to the taste and system in
all the nicely desired.
Choice virgin willow is burnt into
desirable charcoal; this is mixed with
pure, honey and the combination is
compressed under tremendous power
into a 1ozenge of great pleasantness
and efficiency.
Don't let your bad breath make
people cross the street to avoid you;
go to the nearest drug store and buy
a box of Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges
today and eat what you will Two or
three after the meal will sweeten your
breath at once. If you want proof
of this fact send your name and
address and we will send you trial
package by mail free. Address F. A

PROMISED HIS WIFE.
So the King of Spain Could Not Take
Trip in AN Aeroplane.

Pau, France, Feb. .20.-King Alfonso of
Spain was present at the flying field
near Pau today and witnessed the
flights of the Wright brothers, the
American aereplanists. It had been
generally believed that his majesty
would venture aloft on one of them trips
but he did not do so. and it became
known that before leaving Madrid he
had promised Queen Victoria and Pre-
mier Maura that he would not go up
into the air under any circumstances.
His majesty eVinced the greatest inter
est in the aeroplane as an engine of war
and deplored the fact that he could not
make trial flight.
Hart o. Berg, the European business
manager of the WrightS, had an inter
view with the king last night at which
witness the flights of today were COM
pleted. After taking heed of his prom
Use not to fly, he laughingly recalled the
cabinet crisis produced several years
ago when Premier Maura resigned be-
cause the king had not needed his warn
ing to run. his automobile slower
through the streets of Madrid. Continu-
ing, he said he was a soldier above
everything else and that he had come
to Pau to witness the flights so that
he might be able to discuss the ques-
ton of aeroplaness with the army coun-
ell at Madrid, and confirm the opinion
previously expressed that the aero
plane when developed will be destined
to become one of the greatest imple-
ments in war. He said it was his fer
vent wish to be the first sovereign to
fly but he had given his solemn prom
ise before he left home not to be led
into making an ascent. Mr.. Berg eX-
planned the indescribable delight of
gliding over the cushioning air, but the
king smiled and said:
yes, 1 know but I have given my
word"
His majesty was very much interest
ed in hearing a recital of the success
of the Wrights; how they became in
terested in aviation, their long strug-
giles and their final success and the
complete mastery of their machine. He
then discussed the eventual use of the
aeroplane in war He questioned the
suitability of the aeroplane in general
offensive operations on land but said
he thought it invaluable for land scout
ing and sea coast defense, where it
could be used extensively with success.
The king manifested also much in
terest in the gun silencer invented by
Hiram Maxim, and he arranged to have
a sample silencer sent to Madrid, where
he will consider equipping the Spanish
army with the instrument.
