Petition to Contest the Election of Al
dermal John J. Ruddy Quashed
by Judge Archbald.
The Twentieth ward election contest
Is at an end and John J. Ruddy will
continue to dispense justice for'several
years to come. The proceedings to
oust Mr. Ruddy were brought by Prof.
John K. O'Malley, Judge Archbald
yesterday handed down an opinion
quashing the petition for a contest on
the ground - that, Michael E. Kelly,
James M. Lavelle. John Wallace, John
J. Rat ley and Martin it. Lavelle, sign
ers of the contest petition, had In reali
ty not been sworn by Justice of the
Peace P. F. O'Hora as might be In
ferred from reading the petition.
JudgeArchbald'a opinion In part is as
follows:
The certllleute or the magistrate Is prima
faele evidence thnt the live petitioners
required by the statute were sworn to i.h
petition, but that Is the full effect of it,
and the testimony which has been taken
dispels even this. This evidence over
throws beyond uqestlon the eertlllcate of
the Justice and that is all we have to meet
It.
It Is true there is some evidence which
would go to show that the parties were be
fore the magistrate, and had he been
called to testify about the transaction, it
mlcht have put on a different appearance
from what It now bears, tint he was not
called, and we must dispose of the rase
without such further possible enlighten
ment as he might be Hble to give. Tun
ing the case as It stands, we are forced
to conclude that the parties were r.ot
sworn to the petition and that It does not
therefore meet the requirements of the
statute. The evidence convinces us that
an essential statutory requirement has
been omitted and the proceedings must
therefore fall.

COT STAMPS FltOM THE CZAK.
. i
A Youngster's Scheme Which Palmed
Out in Great Shupe.
From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Some time ago the attention of
Philadelphia mother was attracted to
her little boj- by the fact that he lay at
full length on the library tloor, evidently
deeply involved In the Intricacies of let
ter writing. All Inquiries as to the pur
port and proposed destination of the la'
borious production failed to elicit fur
ther remurk than an advice to "wait a
while." At last the missive ended with
a scrawling superscription and an im
mouse sigh of relief, and It was proumy
borne to the father and mother. 'that
they might be afforded an opportunity
of expressing their entire approbation
which was evidently expected.
Imagine their surprise when their
eyes fell upon the following:
"Dear Czar: Since the death of your
father you must have received a great
deal of foreign postage stamps on let
ters from your friends who were sorry
for you. I am collecting postage stamps
and If you will please send me a good
lot of yours I will send you some Ameri
can ones In return."
The parents at first laughed at the
Idea, but the little man was so evident
.'y pleased with the Idea of his young
brain that they finally determined to
allow him to moll it, never imagining
that it would really fall beneath the
royal gaze.
With both the parents and the child
the thing was already fast becoming a
thing of the forgotten past, when the
mail of a few mornings ago brought the
young fellow a rather bulky envelope.
bearing upon It the seal and arms of the
royal house of Russia, To the little fel
low's delight he found, on opening it
that It was packed with stamps of all
nationalities.
The labored missive had evidently
reached Its destination, and had spelled
out to the heart of the man, in all the
excitement of his coronation cere
monies, such a message of childish in
nocence as made refusul Impossible.
NOTES ON rlVOIENE.
"The Sun holera Cure," so-called from
Its having been published in the New York
Sun, is used with great success as a remedy
for diarrhoea und similar diseases, which
It controls In a perfectly marvelous man
ner. "Equal parts each of tincture cay
enne pepper, tincture opium, tincture
rhubarb, essence peppermint, spirits cam

ter, every two hours; in.severe cases, one
teaspoonful every half hour. If taken at
first appearance of cholera symptoms, this
is said to be a certain cure.

TO REDUCE FLICS H.
In the large cities middle-aged women
throng the gymnasium and physical cut
ture sthools to learn how to reduce the
too abundant flesh and keep off the rheU'
matism which Is often an accompaniment.
The woman who dues her own housework
has most of her muscles called Into exer
else every day, and the danger with her Is
that they arc over-exercised, still much re
lief can be received by sponging every
night fter hard labor with tlie following
Inexpeslve lotion: Two ounces spirits am
lunula, two ounces spirits camphor.one and
one-half cups sea salt, one cup alcohol,
one quart rain water. The woman whose
fuce and throat are too thin can remedy
the thinness by frequent bathing in cold
water, and before retiring rubbing In some
good cream. In rubbing, the wrlnklrs
should be rubbed against, so as to rub
them out, and it Is as much in the rubbing
ns In the cream. A nice bit of soft white
flannel, rubbed several times dally over
the face, will be beneficial, and she whose
double chin detracts her from her good
looks can, by Judiciously rubbing down
ward, get rid of the superfluity. Above
nil things, let the woman who desires to
keep her youth and her beauty, cultivate
a sweet disposition and her intellect at
the same time. Womankind.

MALARIA AND WATER.
The most recent scientific authorities are
of the opinion that malaria Is a water
born disease. In vast malarial districts, it
is not the air which the- inhabitants
breathe, but the water they drilik which
brings on the much-dreaded malatial
fever. That this is the case In some sec
tions of the land has been clenrly proved
by the Immunity from fever of such fam
ilies as depended on filtered rain water,
anil not on the wells of the country. It
has also been noted that horses ami other
animals, 'brought Into certain sections of
the country, thrived well so log as they
were housed and drank from the cistern
supply of the barns, but sickened and died
when left to wander In the fields, and
drink from brooks and pools. If this
should be clearly proven, it might be pes
Bible to stamp out one of the greatest evils
of life, In some sections of the country, it
is not a difficult mutter to collect the rain
water, in a clean cistern. It should be
passed through a filtering medium, that Is
frequently renewed, as it is now known
that a filter too long In use becomes one
of the most effective means of contam
inating the water It is Intended to purify.
The filter that is clogged up with impuri
ties Is fur worse than none at all. and this
Is the condition of a great many cistern
filters. As an extra precaution, even
the rlstorn wafer c cht to be boiled,
poured In a clean earthen Jar, and cooled
In a pure atmosjdiere. The lee formed
from contamlnateu water is almost as ob
jectionable as the unclean water Itself, us
a,I:irge number of bacteria are undiHtiirbe 1
by frost, finch a Jar of boiled water
should bo dully renewed, as If It Is left
standing any lerrgth of time It will soon
take on the same objectionable features as
the water of the country. New York Trib

MARKETS AND STOCKS
Wall Street Review
New York, Aug. 17. During the ear
ly trading at the Stock Exchange today
the market was feverish and Irregular
owing to lower cables from London and
a belief that money rates would work
higher In the near future: Later sugar
was bought on a large scale by brokers
said to be acting for a leading bear,
and the stock was advanced from 102
to 105. A week ago today the stock
brought 05. The announcement that
refined sugar had been reduced a
3-1 per pound had no Influence on the
stock. The strength of sugar impart-.
ed a firm tone to the general list and
late In the day when call loans Instead
of advancing fell to 2i per cent and
Sterling exchange displayed weakness
the market for stocks showed positive
strength. In the final transactions
speculation was quiet and firm except
for Manhattan which was a shade
lower. Net changes show gains of U
a 2 per cent. Total sales were 177,881
shares.
