IMPROVING SLOWLY.
State of Trade According to Dun's
Weekly Kevlcw Is Still Encouraging.
Increase In KollroaJ Earnings.
New York, April 12. R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say:
Progress toward better business con
tinues, but it is slow and meets may
obstacles. In speculative aspects, and
In wholesale demand for goods the week
shows Improvements. Money markets
are undisturbed and a little more ac
tive. But aiming the chief obstacles is
the anxiety of operatives to secure bet
ter wages, even while many manufac
turing works are running without
profit, and others at the irlsk of loss.
In a' number of establishments better
wages has been conceded, thus Increas
ing the purchasing power of the peo
ple, but strikes have largely overbal
anced settlements, several of impor
tance having thrown out about 12,000
workers this week. Retail trade has
Improved on the whole since March, as
the approach of Kaster brings more
business. Crop prospects will greatly
affect the course of trade for some
months, and the ?m-ernment report has
little Influence to discourage.' For con
sumers. the worst feature Is the rapid
advance In meats.
For the first time In a long period
prices of commodities average a shade
higher than. a year ago, and In Great
Britain also, owing to different causes,
a slight advanced occurred In March.
On both Ides of the ocean fSie lowest
level ever known may naturally be fol
lowd by some risk.
Railroad earnings for the first week"
of April show an increase less than 1
per cent, over last year. Stocks show
scarcely any change for the week. The
business;, even with a little buying by
London is tame and narrow. Money Is
easier, and supplies are again from the
Interior, while foreign exchange has
been at the exporting point. More com
mercial paper Is now offering, principal
ly In dry goods, though the amount Is
not large.
Failures for the week were 207 In the
United States, against. 21S last year,
and 27 In Canada, against 34 last year.
VICTIM OF THE MAFIA.
Orfino, Hounded by the Cut-throats, Com
mits Suicide.
Scotdale, Pa, April 12. Sidero Arflno,
an Italian laborer, committed suicide
yesterday by throwing himself In front
of a freight train. When he lived In
New Orleans several years ago he In
curred the enmity of the Mafia, and In
a fight stabbed a member of the society
of assassins. Then he wandered north
but they followed him everywhere, and
he returned to his old home In Italy,
where his wife and family lived. He
had been there but a short time before
his enemies discovered him and he
sailed for this country again. His land
ing in New York was noted by the
Mafia there and he sought safety In
the coal region of western Pennsyl
vania, About a month ago he obtained em
ploment upon the construction of a
sewer here. He told the story of his
persecution to some of his fellow-workmen,
who were Americans and said he
would never run away from the Mafia
again. They were Incredulous and
questioned some Italians upon the sub
ject. Their doing so was fatal to Or
fino. In a few days he received a
Mafia li tter warning him to leave the
coke region, or suffer Instant death.
He preferred to take his own life.

OIL HOUSE IJURNED.
Ono of the Standard Plants at Wilkes
llarre Destroyed.
Wilkes-Barre, Pa, April 12. A fllre
broke out In the oil house of the At
lantic Refining company here at noon
today. Two of the large tanks contain
ing several thousand gallons of oil ex
ploded during the conflagration, and
some of the firemen had a narrow es
cape. At 7 o'clock tonight the fire was still
burning, but Is being held In check
by the firemen and It Is considered that
all danger Is past. Late this afternoon
the walls of the massive buildings fell
with a terrible crash, but, fortunately,
no one was Injured. The smoke from
the burning oil came thick and black,
and the city and surrounding towns
were for a time enveloped In dark
ness. The plant Is a part of the Standard
Oil company, that never car.-s an In
surance anywhere.
GEORGE IJRETZ DEAD.

of about two months. He was 63 year
old. He was far years a science pho
tographer. He was the Inventor of a camera that

graphed In the world, and "his views
of Niagara Falls and cities like Scran
ton and Wllkes-Barre, were very fine.
He was a prominent Mason and a mem
ber of the Grand Army of the Republic.

A number of empty boxes at Brown's
stable on Ninth street were discovered to
be on fire at 1.80 this morning. An alarm

THEY WANT PROTECTION
IMachsmiths of the City form an Organization.'
OBJECTS THAT AKE t VIEW
To llovo llorsoshoclng Done on AiTrS
Sclcntlflo Principles, Hnvo a Uni
form Scale of l'rioe and Force
Delinquents to Settlo I'p.
Blacksmiths of Seranton have for
some time been considering the advisa
bility of uniting and becoming a branch
of the Master Horsoshoers' National as
sociation of the United States, and rep
resentatives of nearly every shop In the
city assembled last night at Raub'B hall.
James F. McAnulty, a prominent
veterinary surgeon of Philadelphia, Is
chairman of the committee on litera
ture, science and anatomy of the Na
tional association, and he wus present
last night, and after W. A. St. John had
been selected temporary chairman, Dr.
McAnulty was Introduced and ad
dressed the blacksmiths assembled. He
had several copies of the by-laws of the
National association with him, and he
quoted from the articles of constitution
In explaining the object of the organiza
tion. The present Master Horseshoers" Na
tional association originated In Cleve
land. O., In July, 1SU2, und at a conven
tion held In that city there were seven
cities represented. Now there are 52
locals, representing 62 oltlcs, that have
national charters, and five state asso
ciations In Michigan, New York, Illi
nois, Minnesota and Missouri. A com
mittee on literature, science and anat
omy has churge of the educational fea
tures of the association, and through
tho efforts of these committees there
have been established seven schools of
anatomy and scientific horseshoeing, In
which are delivered lectures on the
anatomy of the foot and leg of the
horse, and dissecting of the name Is
demonstrated by prominent professors
of veterinary science.
.Must Pass Examination.
Apprentices are required to pass nn
examination on the anatomy of the foot
and log of the horse, and to have fnUr
years practical experience at v horse
shoeing, before being granted certlll
cates to practice the art of furriery or
be employed In shops that are Jointed
in the National association.
Besides raising the standard of ap
prentices, the object Is to unite the
master blacksmiths and horseshoers of
the city for their mutual benefit and ad
vantage, by fixing a uniform schedule
of prices for work In the shops. Each
member upon Initiation ts required to
take a solemn oath to live up to the
constitution and by-laws, which pro
vide that the reclpocul Interests of one
another shall be the uppermost object
of the members. Instead of cutting
prices In order to draw trade the shops
will proceed hand In hand together and
charge a uniform price for work done.
Another feature will be that dlshon
est persons will not be enabled to pile
up debts at the various shops., When
a man neglects to pay for his horse
shoeing within a reasonable length of
time, his name Is enrolled among the
list of "deadheads," and no other black
smith will do work for that man until
he settles his account.
Uniform Schedule of Prices.
It Is proposed to levy a uniform
schedule of rates for horseshoeing that
will not be exorbitant, but at the same
time will be considered a good price
and will enable all to muke a fair prof
It. The blacksmith who does not Join
the 'association will find himself com
pelled to do so through force of elr
cumsctances, as the wholesale hard
ware dealers have agreed to refuse to
sell to any who refuse to Join.
The Initiation fee was fixed at S. for
the time being, and the following per
manent organization was affected
President, W. A. St. John; first vice
president, Fred Weyandt; second vice
president, Thomas McLean; recording
and financial secretary, R. T. Gould;
treasurer, M. Jordan; sergcant-nt-arms.

one year, Edward Altemose, Joseph

BROOKLYN OIL BOOM.

Montrose, April 12. Judging from the

A STARTLING FACT.
Sixteen Per Cent, of l.lfo Insurance Ap
plicants Hcjcctcd on Account of
Diseased Kidneys.
Dr. Lambert, the general medical direc
tor of the Equitable Life Insurance com
pany, New York, Is reported to have said:
"We reject 16 per cent, of the applications
for Insurance, and I have saved the entire
expense of this medical department by the
rejection of applicants who had dlseas?d
kidneys, and who died within two years
after 1 rejected them."
This appallng statement should have the
attention of our citizens. There Is no rea
son today why people should allow kid
ney disease to get such a hold on them.
Nature sends her warning In the slight
pain bank, poor circulation of the blood,
sediment In the urine. When any of these
symptoms appear, Dr. David Kennedy's
Favorite Remedy should be taken In small
doses at once, and thus drive the poison
out of the blood anil restore the kidneys
to healthy action. To our knowledge this
Is the only medicine that surely cures this
almost universal complaint.
We note the recovery of Mr. Oscar Lam
bert, of Jerlco, Mo., whose case has been
talked of In the papers the world over,
quoting from his letter to the Press, Mr.
Lambert says: "I neglected the first symp
toms until I found myself In bed with a
complicated disease of the kidneys. No
mortal ever auffored more and lived. My
physician failed to help me. ' I then used
Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy.
It relieved my kidneys almost Immediate
ly, and In a few weeks I was clear of all
pain, and entirely cured."
Favorite Remedy has had more free ad
vertising in the columns of the dally pa
pers than anything we know of, from the
fact that It does as Is promised Cures dis
able to attend the meeting, as It was
held behind closed doors. After a ses
sion of -two hours several stockholders
were approached, but all were as mealy
mouthed as could be expected from the
result of the prospecting.
Superintendent Nash said: "I have
nothing to say whatever."
"Do you still believe there la oil
there?" was asked.
"I most certainly do," said he, as with
hands thrust deep Into his trousers
pockets 'he. mustered up courage, and
tried to "whlBtle an air did he."
It was learned that.J8.000 had been
sunk by Montrose capitalists and one
of them remarked that It had been put
In a hole and the hole pulled up.
It is rumored that there Is consider
able dissatisfaction among the stock
holders at the action of the superinten
dent In plugging the well and taking
out all the tubing. It Is claimed, how
ever, that the tubing was blasted by a
charge of dynamite while Mr .Nash
was absent at dinner and without his
knowledge. It was necessary to do this
In order to remove It.
Tho Republican, which will appear on
Saturday, gives a description of the
matter, which, on the whole, Is decided

The? agricultural department at
Washington is neaiing the close of a
long and very interesting series of In
vestigations In the adulteration of food
products In this country. The re
searches have been encyclopedic in
their scope, and are Intended -to em
brace all varieties of food staples. They
date back to 1887, and when completed
will form a volume of ten chapters.
Eight of these have already been Issued
In the form of department bulletins,
and the ninth Is now being prepared
for the press and may be expected In
the course of a few weeks. In speaking
to a reporter recently on the subject
of adulterants In general, Professor
Wiley, who has the Investigation In
hand, said: "The most of the adulter
ants used are entirely harmless, but at
the same time entirely valueless for
food purposes. In other cases, such ns
the substitution of cotton seed oil for
olive oil, they are right for food pur
poses, but nn Imposition In point of
price; for we have gotten any number
of Bamples of 'oll-e oil' at $4 a gallon
that was In reality an excellent quality
of cotton seed oil, that was worth be
tween 20 and 40 cents. Similarly we
have found coffee selling nt 40 cents
a pound containing 25 per cent, of arti
ficial coffee beans. These artificial
beans are not myths, as some people
suppose. If you like, I can show you
a sample." The snmple was In the
shape of. brown roasted beans that
even on close examination could
hardly be told from the genuine
article. :Mlxed with two parts of renl
beans, It would be almost Impossible to
detect them. "Those are made of
scorched flour and molasses," said Pro
fessor Wiley, "and they ore worth
about 4 cents a pound. Or, raither.
they cost about that. For coffee mak
ing they are worth absolutely nothing
except to make the weak coffee muddy.
The only way to get good coffee Is to
buy the gdod green beans and roaBt
them as they are needed. Coffee roast
ed and kept loses the greater part of Its
volatllo aroma, except In the case of
some patent roasted coffees that are
coated with a thin soluble varnish that
keeps in the volatile substance. Cof
fee that In bought ready ground and
roasted Is almost Invariably worthless.
A dealer can have no earthly object In
grinding his coffee before he sells It ex
cept to aid In adulteration. We have
gotten many samples of roasted and
ground coffee that did not have a parti
cle of coffee In them and were made of
scorched rye and chicory. Now, a cer
tain amount of chicory In coffee Is not
objectionable. The French prefer a
small amount, as It mixes well with the
milk. I like a little chicory myself, for
the heavy, oily quality It gives the
coffee, but one does not want to pay 40
cents for coffee that Is made up half
of chicory at 5 cents a pound. The ar
ticles of food most commonly adulterat
ed are spices. Everything from cay
enne pepper to cloves la matched In
color by what they call 'fillers,' made
of the ground shells of various nuts.
When this finely ground material ts
mixed with the eplce, no one In the
world without a microscope could tell
the difference. There Is a regular
business of manufacturing these fillers,
and we have a set of them to match
any variety of ground spice. They are
used In large quantities."
Take common starch 'and grind It
with a knife until it In reduced to the
smoothest powder, . put It In a clean
tin box, so as to have It continually,

of April, 1895, Is the day appointed for the
tlnul determination at the office of the
County Commissioners, at Seranton,
whether the above valuation shall stand
as returned by the Assessors of the sev
eral townships, boroughs, etc.
Due notice of the time and place of ap
peal will be given as soon as the assess
at hand for use. After washing your
hands, rinse them thoroughly In clean
water, wipe them, and while they are
yet damp rub a plnc,h of the starch
thoroughly over them, covering the
whole surface... The. effect is magical.
The rough smarting skin Is cooled,
soothed and healed.
Charcoal Is one of the most remarka
ble articles In common use, and pos
sesses many qualities not generally un
derstood by the laity. As an absorbent
of bad odors It has no equal. Placed
around articles of food It prevents de
cay and preserves them for a time In
all their freshness. In fine powder it
Is one of the moat perfect dressings
for malignant wounds and those where
proud flesh Is present. As a cure for
headache It Is Invaluable, a teaspoon
ful In half a glass of water often afford
ing Immediate relief. The power of
charcoal to absorb gases Is not general
ly appreciated. It will take up and
hold thirty volumes of ammonia, forty
of nitrous oxide, sixty-five of sulphur
ous acid, and eighty-five of hydrb
ohlorlc acid. Some of these gases may
be withdrawn and used at will. The
storage value of charcoal, while It is
Just becoming known to practical work
ers, has already opened many avenues
of future usefulness. 1
HEALTH FOR THE MILLION:
Washlngthe hair repeatedly with vinegar
or alcohol will destroy nits. '
For the relief of the catarrh In the head
there Is nothing so helpful as a cleansing
antiseptic wash.
Wash the face dally In sour milk or
buttermilk this Is one of the simplest and
best treatments for sunburn.
Quinine sulphate, 20 grains to a pint of
whisky. Is a mild hair tonlo. Rub on the
scalp with a small sponge every night.
All hair dyes are harmful because of
the lead they contain, and there Is no
remedy for premature grey hair except a
dye.
Ringing noises In the ,hed are as often
due to anaemia as anything else. Take a
tablespoonful of pepto-msngan In half a
glass of cold milk three times a day for
one month.
An excellent remedy for catarrh of the
stomach and bowels ts phosphate of sodi
um. Take It for several months, once
dally a teaspoonful in teacupful of boil
ing water (sip while hot) half an hour
before breakfast.
Massage of the scalp will promote Us
nutrition and if the scalp be well nour
ished the hair will not be so apt to fall
out. The hair will be Injured by too fre
quent shampooing; once every week Is
often enough, liornx and water may be
used to cleanse the scalp.
There Is no drug to give one a memory.
Tench yourself to remember begin at
night and write down on paper everything
you did since you arose from your bed In
the morning. What you ate, where you
went, to whom you spoke, etc.; omit noth
ing. In one week's time there will be a
marked Improvement. ,

Home Industry.
Since the firm of Johnnn Hoff, of Rer
un, formed a syndicate with their agents,
the Elsner-Mendel8on company, of New
York, to erect a plant In the United States
for the manufacture of the celebrated Jo
hnnn Hoff's Mult Extract, In 1892, the sulo
of the article has Increased enormously,
and It has become a standard commodity
on tho American market.
The plant erected Is one of the best
equipped of Its kind, and has a capacity to
turn out nearly 10,000,000 bottles annually.
Tho article manufactured here Is In every
way superior to the one formerly Imported,
as the machinery and equipment of the
plant Is of the newest and best, and '.he
material used, of the choicest.
This only proves that anything under
taken In the United States Is always on a
larger and more elaborate scale than In
the old country, even with an article which
originated abroad nearly fifty years ago.
