RAID PLACE TWICE IN a DAY.
Police Find Beer in Keeping of Ben
Jordon.

Ben JordOn, who is known as To-
peka's veteran negro jointist, was raid
ed a second time Thursday by the no
lice who, each time, found small guam
titles of liquor stored in his house on
West Railroad street in North Topeka.
Jordan had just received a consign-
ment of beer from Kansas City and the
first raid was made before he had re-
moved all the beer from the depot.
After the first cleaning out Jordan
moved the balance of the beer to his
place, but was so unwary as to let
himself be seen doing it. He already
has several cases waiting trial on APP
peal to the district court.

HOSTESS HAD TO OWN UP
Domestic Secret Disclosed When the
Guest Could Not Be Served
With Pie.

She was a woman of resource and
ability and when her husband arrived
for dinner with an unexpected guest
she thought she had devised a way
to meet the fact that she had but one
piece of pie In the house and had In
tended her husband should have that.
She instructed him that when she
sent to the kitchen for dessert he was
to say he could not possibly eat any
more than he had eaten and then the
pie could be brought to her guest
without his surmising that there was
but one piece in the house.
This might have worked out all
right If the pie had not been so ex-
ceeding1y good and her husband had
not known this because he had 1t for
dinner the day before.
When the maid cleared away the
dinner dishes the master of the house
said he had no room for dessert.
The guest said he felt the same way
Then, when the master thought it was
safe to do SO he changed his mind
and said after all he guessed he would
take dessert. The pie was brought
When it was half eaten the guess
said it looked SO good he thought he
too, would indulge.

and she told the tale of the pie.

MAYOR GAYNoR's sIcKRooM.
Gallagher's Bullet Lodged in Vault of
Pharynx.


New York.-Optimistic bulletins
concerning Mayor Gaynor were
handed out from day to day by the
doctors in charge of his case in St.
Mary's hospital, Hoboken. These bull
letins said the mayor, after passing
comfortable nights, was improving
steadily and that all the symptoms in
his condition were favorable. They
said he was taking nourishment well
and pronounced his condition as ex-
cellent. No operation was. deemed
necessary and 1t was limited it might
be. delayed until the mayor regained
still more strength.
Robert Adamson, the private secre-
tary, said that the mayor was taking
more nourishing foods. His sleep
was better, and his attendants had be-
gun to feel that he would recruit his
strength rapidly. The blood tests
continued satisfactory, and no faint
| of infection had been discovered. The
cough which distressed him had dis
appeared. 1t was announced that Mr..
Gaynor would be taken to the Adiron-
dacks as soon as his condition per-
mitted. but whether he would under
go an operation TO remove inc uullet
before his trip to the mountains had
not been determined.
There was a rumor also that the
bullet lay in the vault of the pharynx
so close to the brain that an opera
tioK might be fatal, but in answer to
that Adamson explained the bullet lay
in such a position that it could be
taken out on almost a minutes no
tice and perhaps without administer
ing an anesthetic.

Search Reveals Swindle.

Delinquent Tax Collector William
Dooling of Millville, in making a
search of the county records to as
certain in whom the title of a consid-
cradle tract of waste land south OF
Millville is vested, uncovered a
scheme whereby a developing COM
pany made a rich haul from innocent
investors some years ago. The tract
was cut into lots and the streets
cleared were given names similar to
those of the chief streets of Millville.
When victims from numerous states
inquired by letter of reputable par
ties about the value of the lots on
those streets they were given infor-
nation regarding the streets of SINH
lar names in the heart of Millville.
The lots sold rapidly, but, after sew
eral years, when visitors came to look
for their land, they found that they
had been duped. The entire tract
probably can be bought for a song
when it is sold for unpaid taxes.

NEW JERSEY STATE NEWS
swindled in Three Towns.

A slick swindler, who introduced
himself as c. Yost, successfully duped
merchants of Riverside and Delanco,
and, while constables were close on
his heels, passed more forged checks
in Beverly next morning, and then
rode out of town on a bicycle. His
operations began in Riverside, where
he represented himself as an agent
for an insurance company, purchased
a set of books at Snyder's newsstand,
and presented a check for SIS, bear
ing the name of Harry G. Dennis: a
Delanco real estate dealer. The FUR
chase amounted to $1.25, and the
man pocketed THO change and left
the books at a drug store, saying that
Dennis would call for them. He also
cashed two checks for $50 at cigar
stores. In working Delanco merch-
ants it is said that the man left the
town $50 to SIS richer by using the
names of two prominent farmers liv-
ing near Beverly. In Beverly Yost
used the name of Alban Spooner,
president of the Beverly Underwear
company, on his checks. At the Bev-
erly pharmacy he represented himself
to DR.. e. S. Adams as a painter at the
underwear factory, and purchased 81
worth of paints, presenting a check
for SIS and received the change, leav-
ing the paints to be called for. Miss
Marion Smith, bookkeeper for Stew
enson's Sons, expressmen, also cashed
a check for SIS as an accommodation,
so that he could pay a bill at a
wheelwright shop"

BRUSSELS. FAIR CRIPPLED
Belgian white City" Will Reopen
After Repairs.
Many of the Valuable Paintings and
Tapestries Were Saved by
the Officials.

Brussels, Belgium.--It will take
many days to place the Belgian expo
sition in a fit condition for reopening,
although a large majority of the
buildings are still intact. The known
loss caused by the fire which swept
through the white City, is between
100000 and 100000. This is
chiefly confined to the Belgian and
British sections, but the damage by
smoke and water has been general,
and will add materially to the total
loss.
The American section escaped the
fire. The art exhibit was in a build
ing two miles distant from the flames.
Many of the valuable tapestries and
paintings we're saved by the officials.
At the time of the outbreak not
less than 100000 persons were circu-
lating in the grounds and the Ker-
messe. Troops were ordered out and
came at double quick to aid the po-
lice in clearing the great grounds.
This was accomplished in fair order.
Soon the enormous facade tumbled
in ruins. Considering the rapidity OF
the con1agration, the small loss OF
life is marvellous. So far as is
known up to a late hour only two are
dead.
AS the flames reached the menag-
erie it was decided to shoot the
beasts, but heat drove back the sol
diers and the animals were left to
their fate. Some escaped and added
to the terrors of the people.
Finally the fire was got under con
troll. The Belgian and English Sec
lions are in ruins, while all the other
sections, including the American,
were partly destroyed.
Bands of thieves engaged in pill
lage, and a soldier was stabbed while
trying to arrest three men whom he
found rifing a jewelry exhibit.

Motorists Win Safer Roads.

Shore motorists who enlisted Phil
adelphia automobilists in a fight
against the decision of the Ocean
Boulevard commission to divert the
route of the drive away from the
coast in Atlantic county, have won an
important point. Frederick Gilky-
sor, state road commissioner, author
lied the freeholders to expend $4,000
apportioned to the county by the
boulevard commission in abolishing
Dead MaS'S Curve" near Port Re-
public, ans other bad turns in the
present shore road between the Null
lica river bridge and Absecon. This
virtually decides that the boulevard
will follow the shore to P~leasantville
and from there to Mays Landing, I'M
til an i~ntercounty bridge is built
across the Great Egg Harbor river
from Somer's point to B~easley's point,
on the Cape May shore.

LEG A MASS OF HUMoR

about seven years ago a small
abrasion appeared on my right leg
lust above my ankle. 1t irritated me
so that l began to scratch it, and it
began to spread until my leg from my
ankle to the knee was n solid scale
like a scab. The irritation was always
worse at night and would not allow
me to sleep, or my wife either, and it
was completely undermining our
health. I lost fifty pounds in weight
and was almost out of my mind with
pain and chagrin as no matter where
the irritation came, at work, on the
street or in the presence of company,
I would have to scratch it until 1 had
the blood running down into my shoe.
/ simply cannot describe my suffer-
ing during those sever years. The
pain, modification, loss of sleep, both
to myself and wife is simply indie
scribable on paper and one has to ex-
p~erience it to know what it Is.
81 tried all kinds Of doctors and rem
edies but | might as well have thrown
my money down a sewer. They would
dry up for a little while and fill me
with hope only to break out again just
as bad If not worse. l had given up
hope of ever being cured when l was
induced by my wife to give the Cuti-
cura Remedies a trial. After taking
the Cuticura Remedies for a little
while l began to see a change, and
after taking a dozen bottles OF Cuti-
cura Resolvent in conjunction with
the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura ONT
ment, the trouble had entirely disap-
peared and my leg was as fine as the
day l was born. Now after a lapse OF
six months with no signs of a recur-
renee 1 feel perfectly safe in extend
ing to you my heartfelt thanks for the
good the Cuticura Remedies have done
for me. l shall always recommend
them to my friends. W. H. White,

To Paw After Fifty Years.

After half a century the creditors
of the defunct Cataract City bank OF
Paterson are to get a portion of the
money due them by identifying their
claims with John l.. Griggs, the pres
emit receiver. Mr.. Griggs has S3,705.9O
to disburse among claimants, this
amount coming from money collected
by Philip Rafferty,, the receiver ap-
pointed Immediately following the in
solvency of the institution, and who
died in 1872. The claims total ap-
proximately SIS, 900. When Raffer-
tv died it became necessary to sue his
estate. The bank was chartered in
1856 and failed four years later. Its
president, Charles Sanford, and two
other oficials, William P. Sumner
and ]. M. Beach, were sent to the
state prison for conspiracy. Sanford
died in prison.

Park, in front of Seventeenth street,
northwest, Washington, D. c.
Niehaus has been working on the
statue about two years. In depicting
the features of the Revolutionary hero
the sculptor has used the terra-cotta
bust by Houdon, now in the posses
sion of the National Academy of De-
sign, as a model. The commander of
the Bonhomme Richard Is represented
as watching a naval engagement, his
right hand clenehed and his left hand
holding his sword.
Commenting on his work, Mr.. Me
haus said he had tried to depict a man
who is capable of doing almost any
thing and rot simply a man who can
do only n thing.
IF you look at the celebrated Greek
statue of the Farnese Hercules in the
Museo Nazionale in Naples" he said,
"ycu will Sc a very simple figure lean
ing on a club, but you will be i'm
pressed with the idea that this Her
cules could do anything. 1 have tried
to suggest this in my statue Of John
Paul Jones.
"It Is interesting now to recall that
for years efforts were made to con
firm the historical statements that the
remains of John Paul Jones were in
TERED In a certain piece of ground in
Paris. These efforts resulted in docu-
nentary proof that he was buried on
the evening of July 20, 1892, in the
now abandoned cemetery of st. Louis
in the northeastern section of Paris.
The body was found encased in a lead
en- coffin and was transported from
Paris to the United States Naval
Academy and deposited in the now
historic brick vault there"

FARMS IN ALASKA.
Some Far North Riches for Patient
CuItivators-Prices of Produce
Very High.

Washington.-"How would you like
to be a truck farmer In Alaskan?
This is a hypothetical question
asked by the Unitetd States Depart.
ment of Agriculture. In an official
report from the department the ques-
ton and the answer are included. The
report says:
Would you care to run a truck farm
with Strawberries selling at $1.25 to
50 a quart, cucumbers 81 to IS a
dozen, celery SO cents each, tomatoes
so cents to 81 a pound and other prod
ucts at proportionate prices? Or
would you prefer general farming,
with a few pigs and chickens as a side
line, with hay selling at $50 to 500
a ton, hogs 80 cents a pound, young
pigs rs cents a pound and eggs 81 q
dozen?
These prices are received in Alas
ka under favorable market conditions,
but the prospective settler should con-
slider the difficulties and expense Of
farming as well as the high prices Of
his products. i,
Alaska is not generally given much
consideration from an agricultural
standpoint, and yet, despite the rigor.
GUS climate, a large variety of grains.
small fruits and vegetables are being
successfully grown. Experiments are
being made with tree fruits, but the
results thus far have not been very
encouraging. The work conducted by
the government with grains at the
Rampant experiment station has been
an unqualified success. Varieties Of
nearly all grains have been found that
grow we'll.
