It is understood a rigorous censor

alarming announcement

Feature of New York Chinatown VIII
Be Abolished.

New York, Sept. 21-The turning of
Chinatown's heather theater into a
Christian mission, accomplished a few
weeks ago, was but precursor of other
revolutionary changes in the Oriental
quarter. Only last week a score of the
leading merchants celebrated their re-
lease from ancient superstition by cut
ting off their queues and dressing their
hair permanently in American fashion.
Now it is announced the old temple,
or joss house, at the entrance of Mott
street, which several hundred tourists
have visited nightly for a decade or
more, will soon be abolished. The
Chinese public chamber plans to de-
stroy the idol and remodel the buildin 2

SCROFULA
HEREDITARY BLOOD POISON

Scrofu1a is a disease manifested
usually by swelling and liberation
Of the glands, especially about the
neck. 1t is almost entirely hereditary
in its origin, being the dregs or re-
mains of some specific blood poison.
Where the blood is greatly weakened
with the scrofulous poison, the disease
attacks other portions of the system
besides the glands, and then we see its
effects in weak eyes, poorly developed
bodies, running sores and ulcers, skin
diseases, especially on the scalp, ca
tarrha1 troubles, etc. Scrofu1a usually
makes its appearance in childhood,
though manhood or womanhood may
be reached before the poison pro-
crosses to the stage of outward mani
festation. S. S. S. is the one real cure
for Scrofula. It is a blood purifier
without an equal, and it cures this
destructive blood poison by removing
every trace of the infection from the
circulation. S. S. S., in addition to

BOB UP ONCE MORE.
Feature of Missouri River Rate Case
in Supreme Court.

Washington, Sept. 21.-The Missouri
river rate cases have bobbed up again
in the supreme court of the United
States through the endeavor of counsel
for the railroads to put in another
word in behalf of rehearing before
the court. Just before the court adj
journed last spring it handed down de-
cisions upholding the validity of orders
of the Interstate commerce commission
reducing the class rates between the
Mississippi and Missouri rivers on ship
ment from the Atlantic seaboard to
Missouri river cities and also on ship
mentS from Chicago and st. Louis to
Denver. The orders were attacked as
an illegal attempt of the commission to
create zones traffic.
The supreme court could see no such
attempt. During the recess of the court
the government has filed in the court
it's reasons for -objecting to a rehear-
ing. 1t claims that unless the mandate
of the court is issued shortly after Oc-
tOber 10 when the term begins the cases
will become moot as, it is urged, the
orders of the commission will expire
November 10. tsL
The railroad counsel in their latest
brief just filed in court point out that
if the final decision of the court is
against them shippers will present
claims for reparation amounting to
more than a quarter of million dollars.
Thus it is seen is involved in read
judicatiOn of the cases the liaDlnty
and even if the orders by their terms
should expire pending the litigation
there still would remain the additional
point of liability. Moreover it is urged
| that it has never been decided that
when an order of. the commission is
suspended by injunction the suspension
does not stay the running of the two
years during which the order was to
remain in force The counsel for the

Companies Did Not Care to Take
Chances on Aviation Affair.

New York, Sept. 21.-A half million
dollars of life and accident insurance
carried by Allan A. Ryan, son of the
politician, has been cancelled during
the last fortnight because of Ryan's
activity as head of the international

this unusual action, explaining that he
does not own an aeroplane and does
not contemplate the purchase of one;

ing the winter supplies of the people
of that place and reports that at a
cleanup of the old plates in the stamp
mill at that place more than three
thousand dollars in gold was taken
from the plates as they were being
taken from the mill. The mill, which
is being remodeled for a cyanide pro-
cess, necessitated the removal of the
plates for the tanks of the cyanide
process. 1t is a we'll known fact that
nearly all plates Of this kind are
loaded with amalgum but are never
treated so as to remove all the metal
until they are taken from the mill.
Hence when the plates were to be re-
moved the test was made with the
above result.
