CaftNsj ..Masclnnd Inable to Say What
Actloalthe Local Saltation Army
. Will Tako in tbo Present Fight.
. v ,
Captain Mnaelnncl. of tho local Sal
vatlon army corps, is an extremely pru
dent young woman. When questioned
yesterday by a Tribune reporter, 4am
cttrnlns the attitude of the SiTantufi
army in the civil wur that la now aul
tatliiB the American orBanlaatlon he
salil:. ' .
'I have nothing to say on the mat
ter!" "Will your Holdlers follow Ballinfcton
Booth In his independent movement?"
asked the reporter.
"I have nothing to Bay," she reiterat
ed. "I do not think It wise."
"What Is the sentiment of your sol
diers?" "I cannot answer for them" she said,
her manner showing that the subject
was obnoxious.
The local army has a great deal of
love for the old leader. He it was, with
his wife, who raised the funds necessary
to the erection of the Price street bar
racks. Hut It Is doubtful whether this
personal respect for the man will cause
the corps to follow him.

Interesting '' I'iiures ' Concerning

The annual report of the city engineer
which the law directs shall be hubmlt
ted to i-uuhcH: at the first 'meeting in
April. Is' now 1n course of preparation.
Mr. Phillips and his etltclent corps have
completed all the tabulary work and are
arranging it for the printer. The sug
gest Ions -a nil deductions which will ac
company the tables will be quite ex
haustive. It being the intention of City
Engineer I'iillllps to make this the most
complete report thai has ever been got
ten up in tils department and one that
will coinoare favorably with reports
sent out from much more pretentious
cities.;
Among the many Interesting things
which will be shown by .the reoorf'are
the following tables which Indicate in
a way the vast amount of work that
has been accomplished in the engineer's
office during the fiscal year which closes
on the lust day of the present month.

During the year there were four
bridges built, the two big ones., the
construction of which Mr. Phillips su
pervised and directed with so much
credit to himself and profit' .to the city,
and two smaller ones, an Iron single
span over Adams avenue and a stone
arch bridge over Leggett's creek. The
paving done during the yetr amounted
to 12.294 square yards, altogether. Of
that amount 7.6H4 yards were of asphalt,
3,247 of brick and l.:!5:i of stone block.
The item of grading which appears
In the second table seems to be rather
diminutive and It is as it seems. Only
two streets or rather portions of streets
were graded during the whole year.
The cause of the falling off in "this
line of Improvement Is explained In an
other table which Mr. Phillips has pre
pared but which will probably not be
made part of his report.
. This table is headed "Options" and
shows how grading Is discouraged, yes
well nigh made impossible by. the greed
of property owners, who demand ex
horbitant prices for land required for
opening streets und others who sue for
large dunnages . after the grayling Is
done. Options were Becured on about a
dozen properties during the year. Their
assessed valuation Is $4,425; the. amount
demanded for them Is $42,400.. ,
t'NDER THE HEAD OF OPTIONSL
From this it would appear that either
the assessors or the property holders
have a poor idea of values.

WAS GOULD INSANE?
Financial Worry and Physical Exer
Ion Not the Greatest Destroy
er of Human Life.
Fer Humaalty'e Sake. After Thirty-! Year
of Ncrve-Crecping Slavery, He Tell
How H Was Set Free.
Caldwell, N. J. (Special). One of our
prominent cltiaens, S. J. OouUI. who
lias suffered terribly from tobacco tre
mens, has. In behalf of humanity, made
known his frightful experlem-e. In his
written statement, which Is attracting
widespread attention, he says: "1 com
menced using tobacco at thirteen;. I am
now forty-nine; an, for thirty-six years
I chewed, smoked, snuffed and rubbed
snuff until my skin turned a tobacco
brown and ' cold, xtlcky perspiration
oozed from my skin, and trickled down
my back at the least exertion or ex
citement. My nerve, vigor and my life
were being slowly supped. I made up
my mind that I had to quit tobacco or
die. I tried to Btop tobacco time and
again, but could not. I saw double and
my memory was beyond control, but I
still knew how to chew and smoke,
which I did all day until toward night,
when my system got tobacco-soaked
again. Finally .1 gave up In despair, as
I thought that I could not cure myself.
"Now, for suffering humanity. I'll tell
,what saved my life. Providence evi
dently answered my good wife's prayers
and brought to her attention a booklet
called: 'Don't Tobacco Spit and Smoke
Your Life Away!' What a sermon and
warning in these words! Just what I
was doing. It told about a guaranteed
cure for the tobacco habit, called No-To-Bac.
I sent to Druggist Hasler for
a box. Without a grain of faith I spit
out my tobaceo cud, and put into my
mouth a little tablet upon which was
stamped No-To-Bac. I know It sounds
like a lie when I tell you that I took
eight tablets the first day, seven the
next, five the third day, and all the
nerve-creeping; feeling, restlessness and
mental depression was gone. . It was
top good to be true. It seemed like a
dream. I used one box. It cost me $1,
and It is Worth a thousand. I gained
ten pounds In weight and lost all desire
for tobacco from the first day. I sleep
and eat well, and I have been benefited
In more ways than I can tell.
"I llrmly believe No-To-Buc will cure
any case of tobacco-using If faithfully
tried, and there are thousands of tobac
co slaves who ought to know how easy
It Is to get free. There's happiness In
No-To-Bac for the prematurely old men
who think as 1 did that they are old
and worn out; when tobacco Is the
thing that destroys their vitality and
manhood.
"The public should be warned, how
ever, against the purchase of any of
the many imitations on the market, as
the success of No-To-Bac has brought
forth a host of counterfeiters and Imi
tators. The genuine No-To-Buc is
mude by The Sterling Remedy Co., Chi
cago, Montreal and New York, and sold
under a guarantee to cure by all drug
gists, and every tablet has the word
No-To-Bac. plainly stamped thereon.
You run no physical or financial risk
In purchasing the-genuine article."

Sir: Sugar Is Just as sweet weighed on
an Iron scale as it Is if weighed on a gold
one or a silver one. ft Is nl so Just lis
sweet If hoiiKht with paper money us It
Is If bought with silver or gold. National
legul tender paper-money Issued by the
government on the bus Is of Improved reiil
estate would not only help the runner,
the mechanic, the Iron Industry, the coal
Industry, and every other useful occupa
tion, but would ulso buy gold or silver to
use In milking forelKn exehaiiKes. The
reason the so-called Sound .Money league
of I'hllinlelphia objects to iuivliig anything
but gold for legal tender money Is that
the commodity Is not so plenty and ejsy
to bo procured as to present cunning
usurers from controlling its circulation
anil making Industries of the nation pay
tribute to them for the privilege of having
It lie idle in vaults. No wonder the Sound
Money league or Phllmielplita, whlrh Is
