CAPITOL WITNESS IN EUROPE
His Absence Will Be a Distinct Loss to
State In Trials This Week.
Harrisburg, May 12. Charles D.
Montague, a metal furniture expert of
Brooklyn, and who was to have been
the chief witness for the common
wealth In the second Capitol trial, is
said to be In Europe, beyond the reach
of the subpoena servers of the prose
cution. Montague was employed by
the Capitol probers last year because
he had formerly been connected with
the Art Metal Construction company
of Jamestown, N. Y.. which manufac
tured all the metallic furniture put
into the Capitol, the Pennsylvania
Construction company being merely
the agent in this state.
The commonwealth had counted
much on Montague's testimony, be
cause of his thorough familiarity with
everything Involved in the 12,000,000
metallic furniture contract, and his ab
sence will be a distinct loss to the
prosecution.
"There will be no motion for a sev
erance for Mr. Huston," said Attorney
George S. Graham, who, with the
other counsel for the architect, A. S.
U Shields and Samuel M. Clement, Jr.,
arrived Sunday evening.
That evidently eliminates the pos
sibility of a separate trial for the
architect, or of his turning "state's
evidence," the only condition on which
the commonwealth would consent to
excusing him from standing trial this
time.
There are persistent rumors that
Huston's plan of defense Is Bitch as to
put responsibility up to the other de
fendants and to Involve a clash at the
very outstart of the trial, but coun
sel are making a determined effort to
avoid a serious split In the defense If
It can be done. That it is a hard task
is not seriously denied.
"Mr. Huston is not a conspirator,"
said Mr. Graham. "He knows of no
conspiracy. All he knows he has told
to Attorney General Todd, Mr. Scar
let and Mr. Cunningham. They
thought it sulliclent to grant him a
severance In the first case. Since
then they have seen fit to change their
minds. Mr. Huston Is In precisely the
same position as heretofore. So far
as he is able he is willing to tell all
he knows.
"Whatever he mny have done In
his enthusiasm as nn artist, that Is
different, In that It may be criticised
by other artists, but there never has
been any personal criticism."

Tailored Suits.
AVe are congratulating ourselves on the greatest suit
business we have ever known. AVe attribute this fact to
the kind of suits that went out from this cloak room. We
promised early in the season the best suit assortment we
ever presented. The assortments surpassed any previous
showing we ever made. Announced that suit prices
would be more careiully adjusted. The fair moderate
prices on Tailored Suits has compelled favorable comment.
We made claim that our suits for this spring season 1908
would represent an unusually high order of artistic suit
designing and expert tailoring. In proof of that claim we
point to any James suit that has gone out trom this cloak
department since February 1st. In the hundred odd
suits that remain here for your selection we shall exper
ience little trouble in proving that the above claims are
not merely "advertising talk."

THE SUMMER VACATION GUIDE.
The rummer vacation is the bright spot io the dull routine of
Ihe year's work. It breaks the monotony of the daily round, and
cheers and invigorates for the strenuous life ahead.
America abounds with delightful summer resorts in valley, on
mountain, and beside the sea The Atlantic coast lino iron)
Labrador to Cape Hatteras contains the greatest number of resorts
devoted entirely to the pursuit of pleasure and health in the world.
One may purchase Irom Pennsylvania Railroad Ticket Agents,
excursion tickets to over eight hundred of these resorts, covering
all the desirable places, from the rock-bound bays of Newfound
land to the gentle, sandy slopes of the Virginia beaches; from the
White Mountains of New Hampshire to the Cumberland Moun
tains of Tennessee; in the wilds of Canada, along the shores of the
St. Lawrence and the Great Lakes.
The famous seacoast resorts of New Jersey Atlantic City,
Cape May, Wildwood, Ocean City, Sea Isle City, Asbury I'aik,

DUATU OI A VENERABLE
PHYSICIAN.
In November lust death claimed one
of the Venn able iliVKie.iiins of Western
New York, lr. Alonzo Wiltso of Dele
van, C'iittnrnii(iiis County. Mr. WiltKO
had been a practising physician for sev
enty yenrg. A peculiar circumstance in
connection with his lit'o is the fact that
thirty yenrs ago he was stricken with
Hrijtht 's disease and after a thorough
examination and consultation by emi
nent Huffalo physicians, his caso was
pronounced incurable and he was ad
vised to prepare for the closing of bis
earthly career.
Returning to his home with such sad
information he was spurred to make a
desperuto analysis and study of
Uriglit's disease, with the result that
he formulated a remedy which com
pletely cured him and gave him nn ad
ditional lease of thirty yearB of life, or
until the age of ill years, as mentioned
above.
Mr. Wiltse in his practice thereafter
used tho remedy witli great success. Tho
mixture can be obtained at any local
drug store at a nominal cost, and the
complete formula will lie mailed, post
