Novel Use of Gas.

The case of Stephen S. Muchmore
of Passaic avenue, Chatham, who for
a long time was deprived of the use
of gas by the Public Service Gas COM
pany and has now again had it re-
stored to him, reveals an odd bargain
that was struck some time ago be-
tween the borough and the gas COM
pany. 1t appears that the franchise
to serve gas to consumers in the bor-
ough was granted to the corporation
on condition that it be sold only for
cooking and heating purposes and
not for lighting, the object being to
protect the municipal lighting plant
in it's monopoly Of that field. Law
yers say that the bargain was illegal,
and that If any of the residents or
the gas company see fit to fight it the
litigant is sure to win. Muchmore
was deprived of his gas because the
discovered that he had piped
an addition to his house. The
Chatham agent was asked to move
the meter for him, but when he Wis
tied the place and found out what
Muchmore had done he took the me-
ter away. 1t is said that numerous
other residents have been using COM
pany gas for lighting and neglecting
to ~patronize musnicipal home indus
tries, and there is sure to be trouble
now that the affair has been stirred

EMMY instructed her grandnephew:

charge O. a 1 have, mind now that as
much whisky is to be used at my fu-
neral as there was at my baptism"
Willy, having no record of the guam
tity consumed at the baptism, decided
to give every mourner as much as he
wished, with the result that the fu-
neral procession, having to traverse
ten miles to the ~churchyard on a
short November day, arrived only at
nightfall.
Then it was discovered that the
mourners, hating at a waystde inn,
had rested the coffin on a dyke and
left 1t there when they resumed their
journey. The corpse was a day late
in arriving at the grave.

NEW TARIFF BREAKS RECORD.
Returns $75,OOO,OOO Ahead of Any
Year Except 1907.

Washington. = The Payne-Aldrich
tariff law has produced in it's first
year a revenue greater by $75,000,-
600 than the amount collected in any
year in the country's history, except
the banner year, 1907, as shown by
the treasury department figures. The
second year of the operation of the
new tariff has begun.
During the first full year, ended
last Saturday night, the total ordi-
nary receipts, including customs, or
binary internal revenue, corporation
tax and miscellaneous, aggregating
S67S, 850,816, exceeded disburse-
ments by s~20,214,029. These ordi-
nary receipts were greater by $15,-
600, 900, approximately, than during
1907, and the 1907 receipts exceed
ed those of any other year on record
by almost $50, 10000 While there
was a deficit of 5S,734,9 55 in the or
binary operating expenses in the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1909, there was
a surplus of more than $4,000, 900
in the year ended last Saturday, the
department says.
The corporation tax revenue was
$27,090,9 34, which is only SOTO 0
less than the amount assessed.

RAW ECZEMA ON HANDS

81 had eczema on my hands for ten
years. 1 had three good doctors but
none Of them did any good. then
used one box Of Cuticura Ointment
and three bottles of Cuticura Resolvent
and was completely cured. My hands
were raw all over, inside and out, and
the eczema was spreading all over my
body and limbs. Before I had used one
bottle, together with the Cuticura
Ointment, my sores were nearly
healed over, and by the time l had
used the third bottle, I was entirely
well. To any one who has any skin
or blood disease I would honestly adj
wise them to fool with nothing else,
but get Cuticura and get well. My
hands have eve given me the least
bit of trouble up-to now.
my daughters hands this summer
became perfectly raw with eczema.
She could get nothing that would do
them any good until she tried Cutt-
cura. She used Cuticura Resolvent
and Cuticura Ointment and in two
weeks they were entirely cured. I
have used Cuticura for other members
of my family and 1t always proved sue
cessful. Mrs. M. E. Falin, Speers

Charles Curtis of Kansas as having
been interested in the McMurray on

| Charles Curtis of Kansas as having
been interested in the McMurray con-
tracts.
Hamon took a fling at the blind
senator and his secretary by charging
that they had both been indicted for
serious offenses, that improper in
ducements could be safely offered to
Senator Gore, and that he understood
for years that the senator had been
bribed in connection with certain
town site deals and by a book con
Germ.
Hamon denied that he had ever
mentioned the name of V~ice-President
Sherman, Senator Curtis and Repre-
sentative MCGUIRE in connection with
being interested in the McMurray con-
tracts.
Chairman Burke of the investigat-
ing committee authorized a statement
that Vice-President Sherman would
not be summoned to appear before
the committee.
The investigating committee vas
authorized by the house in the closing
hours of the last session of congress,
after Senator Gore the day before had
created a sensation with his bribery
charge in the senate.
The senate made no provision for
the expenses of its committee, but the
house did, and thus the house mem
bers have gone to work first.
The committee is headed by Con-
gresham Charles H. Burke of South
Dakota, chairman, and is composed OF
Congressman Philip P. Campbell of
Kansas, Charles B. Miller of Mime
sofa, John H. Stephens Of Texas and

oRIppEN,s ATTORNEY AT WORK.
Starts to Find Out if There's ANY
Proof of Murder.

London.-Arthur Newton, who has
been engaged to defend DR.. Hawley
H. Crippen, accused of numbering his
wife, applied for permission to go to
Crippen's residence at Hilldrop Cres-
cent. He says he is curious to know
what evidence there is that a murder
has been committed.
Quebec.-Dr. Crippen is plucking
up his spirits. The assurances of his
London friends, offers of money and
confidence in the position he assumed
in his confession all tend to cas- his
mind.
There is also interest in the seem
ing understanding between DR.. Grip
pen and Miss Leneve, made during
their fight, regarding what either
should say or not say in the event of
their arrest. According to their US
todians neither has mentioned the
other.
Miss Leneve is reluctant to receive
any callers. A Church of England
clergyman who visited the Jail and
asked to see the girl received the re-
ply that she did not wish to see any
one.
The Canadian authorities curtailed
privileges of Inspector Dew in the
Crippen case. There seems to be a
disposition to resent the prerogatives
which the Scotland Yard man has as
sumed.

SLUMP IN THE AUTO BUSINESS.
Bottom Seems to Have Dropped Out
Notwithstanding Boosting Efforts.

New York.-Indications point to
the bottom having fallen out OF n
automobile business. The manufac-
turers. it is reported in trade circles,
are making strenuous efforts to keep
up a show of continued prosperity,
but it is also said that they are not
selling their product, but are storing
machines throughout the country at
their various agencies to prevent the
public realizing the true conditions OF
the market.
Several large concerns are laying
off men and giving all sorts of reasons
for so doing except the statement
that they are overstocked. Two or
three of the largest factories recently
closed entirely, ~ostensibly for the pur-
pose of taking inventory, but the
workmen were not given any definite
time at which to again report for
work, and it is not expected that these
factories will again be in operation
this year.
A well known automobile agent of
this city said yesterday that all cars
would undoubtedly be selling at from
rs per cent. to SO per cent. less than
present list prices within the next two
or three months. He added:
''The trouble with the automobile
business is that the farmers and peo-
pie of the smaller cities and towns
have not taken as kindly to the idea
as was anticipated. The farmers find
that the cost of keeping them in re-
pair and operation is more than the
cost of keeping horses to perfoCm the
same work, and while there was, for
a time, a tendency among the farmers
to invest in the machines, the demand
for cars from this class of buyers has
practically stopped, and l venture to
say we will not again sell to the farm
ers to any extent until prices are ma
terially reduced"

about the monument and filled the
streets as the President spoke. In

The Body Does Not Feel Heat
UnpleasantIy If 1t has
Proper Food
Grape=Nuts

People a live in a temperature
which feels from ten to twenty degrees
cooler than their neighbors enjoy, by
regulating the diet.
The plan is to avoid meat entirely for
breakfast; use a goodly allowance of
fruit, either fresh or cooked. Then fol-
low with a saucer containing about four
heaping ~teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts,
treated with a little rich cream. Add to
this about two slices of crisp toast with
a meager amount of butter, and one
cup of wellmade Postum.
By this selection of food the bodily
energy is preserved, while the hot, car
b%onaceous foods have been left out.
The result Is a very marked difference
In the temperature of the body, and
to this comfortable condition Is added
the certainty of ease and perfect diges-
ton, for the food being partially pre-
digested is quickly assimilated by the
digestive machinery.
Experience and experiment in food,
and its application to the human body
has brought out these facts. They
al be made use of and add materially
to the comfort of the user.

CONDITION OF CORN IS
1873 IN AUGUST REPORT
Winter Wheat Indicates a Yield
of 458,294,000 Bushels.
SPRING WHEAT ESTIMATE IS 61.0
Government Crop Figures Cause De-
cline, Followed by Slight Rally
in Stocks-Report is of Mixed
Character.

Washington.-The average condi-
ton of the corn crop on August 1, as
estimated by the crop reporting board
Of the department of agriculture and
made public with the general monthly
crop report, was 1913, as compared
with 85.4 last month, S4.4 a year ago
and 82.1, the average on August 1
for the last ten years.
Preliminary returns indicate a win
ter wheat yield of about 1873 bushels
600 bushels, as compared with 1873,
and 446, $4,000 bushels respectively,
as finally estimated last year. The
average quality of the crop is 92.6
against 90.3 last year..
The average condition of spring
wheat on August 1 was 61.0, as COM
pared with 61.6 last month, 91.6 last
year and 81.9, the ten-year average
on that date.
The average condition of the oats
crop on August / was 81.5, as COM
pared with 1922 last month, 85.5 =
year ago, 1853 in 1908, and 82.6, the
ten-year average on that date.
In spite of the lower condition of
the corn crop, the increased acreage
devoted to that cereal probably will
increase the crop of the present year
about 100000 bushels over the
crop of last year, in the opinion of ex-
pert statisticians in this city. These
statisticians say that while the
drought in the Northwest will make
the wheat crop smaller than last year
there will be a liberal supply for ex-
port. They said that the winter
wheat that was not abandoned would
give a greater yield than was expect
ed. The oats crop will be as big as
last year, when it was unusually large.
The condition of minor crops on
August l., as reported by the crop re-
porting board, is as follows:
