An org anized charity like this one relieves
invididuals of much responsibility, for
any case Of sickness should be reported
and it viii be intelligetly looked after by
some member of the visiting committee,
and thus the danger Of neglect,ng some

aud every fort is made 10 guard against
imposition. II has been really q pleasure
to help some worthy old colored friends

hearty sympathy.
10 the past wear fifteen cases have
been helped, but 70 large sums have
been spent. Nine patients have been
helped 10 their homes. and six received
treatment at the Charles Town Hospital.
A visiting nurse has attended several
patients and proved most satisfactory.
At the January N Getting it was voted
to drop the word Hospital" from the

here, though as a matter of fact there is
no connection.

Cleveland, o., Nov. 13. - With the
work of restoring the normal order
rapidly proceeding and delivery OF
food and coal supplies, Clevelanders
experience only the inconveniences
Electric light service to many parts
Of the city which have been dark for
three nights was partially restored
Almost all the streetcars are running
and deliveries of the small amount of
mail which has reached the city have
commenced.
The menace Of the icicles and
mounds of snow which festoon all
the downtown buildings caused police
to be stationed along the streets to
warn people to keep out near the
curb. Boy Scouts aided in this work.
The bright sun started comparatively
rapid thaw of the snow on roofs, but
small decrease in the depth of the
snow on the ground could be noticed.
The weather forecaster states that
the thawing win proceed slowly, and
without the assistance of rain, OBJ
waiting the danger Of a food in the
Cuyahoga river.
The crew OF 32 men and one woman
of the big freighter NJ. A. Hanna,
which was driven ashore of Point
Aux Barques, in Lake Huron. arrived
here with thrilling tales of their res
cue.
Vessels are able to clear Cleveland
port. Life savers and tug owners
were on the lookout for traces of
wrecks on Lake Erie,
While the railroads, streetcar lines
and interurban systems are approach-
Ing ordinary conditions, the telegraph

able to restore their lines completely
for weeks, and perhaps even months
Several trains loaded with meats,
butter and green goods reached the
railroad yards, and It is expected that
the market will soon adjust ITSELF al
though the supply of green goods
probably will be short for few days
The milk situation was relieved by
the arrival of 1000 gallons of milk

George Fred Williams of Massa-

to Greece, was for many years known
as the Sage of Dedham." 1t was in
this Massachusetts town that Mr.. will
liams was born, and there he still re-
sides, although his extensive law prac-
tice Is conducted at Boston, where
he has offices. In former years Mr.
Williams was figure of national i'm
portance in politics.
1t was in the Blaine campaign of
1884 that Mr., Williams first achieved
national notice. He was opposed to
the Maine statesman and formed the
Mugwump movement, parting company
with his Republican friends forever
He was member of the independent
convention in New York which in
dorsed Grover Cleveland and was one
Of the leading spirits of the Massa-
chusetts Mugwumps In the campaign
that followed. He served in the Massa-
chusetts legislature In 1889 and In 1891
was elected to the Fifty-second con-
gress as a Democrat. He attracted
notice by refusing to abide by the
decision of the Democratic caucus of
the house In favor of Charles r.. Crisp
for speaker and voting for Roger
@. Mills. In 1895 Mr.. williams was
Democratic candidate for governor Of
Massachusetts and made brave but
unsuccessful fight.

Remarkable Catarrh Cure
That Gets Right into the
Affected Parts and
Stops Gatherings.

1t is definitely known that catarrh can
be cured by the simple process of inocu-
lating the blood with antldotal remedies
that stop inflammatory conditions through
out the mucous Innings of all the organs
of the body. This is done with the famous
Swift's Sure Specific, or as 1t is widely
known, S. $. s., 1t is taken into the blood
Just as naturally as the most nourishing
food. II spreads its influence over every
organ in the body, through all the veins
and arteries, and enables all mucous sur.
faces to exchange intiammatory acids and
other irritating substances for arterial ee
ments that effectually cleanse the system
and thus put an end to all catarrhal pollu-
tion. s. S. S. cleans out the stomach of
mucous accumulations, enables only pure,
blood making materials to enter the intes-
tines, combines with these food elements to
enter the circulation, and In less than an
hour is at work throughout the body In
the process of publication.
You will soon realize its wonderful in
fiuence by the absence OF headache and
steadily improved nasal condition.
For special advice on any blood disease
write to the Swift Specific Co.. 223 Swift
Bldg, Atlanta, Ca Do not delay to get
a bottle of s. s, s. from your druggist.
Always Insist that you want s. s. S..
and nothing else Beware of all attempts
to sell you a substitute.

RENEWS
Fight For Her Fortune Does
Laura Biggar

Jersey City, N. j., Nov. 13-Vice-
Chancellor Griffin, sitting in Chancery
Court, today took up for hearing the
case of Laura Biggar Bennett, who at
one time was we'll known actress,
against the executors of the estate OF
her husband, Henry M. Bennett. When
the settlement of the estate, which
was worth nearly $2,0O0,000, began, it
is said that the actress agreed to ac-
cept $4,000 as her share, and has re-
ceived large part of this amount, She
is now endeavoring to recover the re-
mainder.
Laura Biggar's fight for the Bennett
y estate has for more than ten years
been sensational in the extreme. Start
ing life on the stage about twenty-five
years ago under William A. Brady's
management, Miss Biggar married an
d, actor named Richardson, and after di-
vorcing him was married to James
Willis Mcconnell. Later she became
the wife of Burt Haverly, an actor,
While she was playing the widow in
"A Trip to Chinatown" she met Hen
ry M. Bennett, millionaire owner of
theaters in Pittsburgh and Brooklyn.
Bennett even then was SO old as to
be decrepit. His attentions to Miss
! Biggar resulted in trouble with her
husband. AS result Haveriy So
n In
g the stage, where she had made her
most decided hit as liza in "Tbs Glenn
enceau Case" and became the nurse
and companion of Bennett.
On April IL, 1902, Bennett died, and
Miss Bennett was left so per cent of
his estate under his will. Not content
with this settlement Miss Biggar. who
then called herself Mrs. Bennett, put
In q claim for the entire estate on the
ground that she was Benefits widow
Following this claim charges of con
spiracy were brought against her, to.
gether with DR.. Charles G.. Hendricks
and Samuel Stanton formerly justice
of the peace in Freehold, N. j., where
Miss Blggar was living at the time.
Stanton was brought into the case
because he claimed to have married
Bennett and Miss Bggar, and a mar
riage certificate signed by him played
an important part of the affair DR.,
Hendricks was Miss Blggars physi-
clan, and the proprietor of a sanitar-
lum In which, it was said, was born
the child which Miss Biggar claimed
to be the posthumous child OF Bennett,
and which played an important part
in the litigation.
The conspiracy charge against the
iSren resulted in the jury at Freehold
siinging Hendricks and Stanton guilty
and acquitting Miss Biggar. AS an
aftermath of the affair the wife OF
Dr. Hendricks sued Miss Biggar for
fections.
In 1903, and again In 1906, IL was
reported that Miss Biggar or Mrs
Bennett, as she has since been known
had agreed to accept settlement OF
her claim against the Bennett estate
AT one time II was said she had re
.ceiyed 5000, 900 and at another time the
amount was placed at 100000. 1t Is
,certaiE that at various times she re
seeiyed large sums from the executors
but 1t Is believed now that she is prac
Ideally without funds, Hence. her re
lnewed endeayors to secure the whole
or large part of what is left of the
93ennett fortune.
