Old Furnaceman Found
Dead at Cornwall Furnace
v Special to The Telegraph
Lebanon, Pa., May 2.—Joseph Mc-
Avoy, a former furnacem;in of Corn
wall, this county, was found dead this
morning in an old shack within a
stone's throw of Burd Colenian fur
nace, under most pathetic circum
stances. In his younger days McAvoy
worked steadily at the place, but about
lifteen years ago he became too feeble
to continue. Having a horror of the
county almshouse, he took to the road
as a tramp, and as such wandered over
all parts of the American continent.
Sickness finally overcame him and he
then returned to his native heath. For
two weeks pfn-r he lingered around
Cornwall, subsisting on the remnants
of workingmen's dinner pails. This
morning when one of the kind-hearted
furnacemen went to the shack to leave
some food for the old man he found
him lying on the floor dead. Coroner
John J. Light pronounced it a case of
apoplexy.

J. Benjamin Dimmick
Candidate for Nomination for U.S.Senator
Primaries, May 19
J. BENJAMIN DIMMICK
WHY I ENTERED THIS FIGHT
1 recognize that the disastrous split in the Republican Party was the result of a Political
System known over the whole country as PEXROSEISM.
I am convinced that the Republican Party can and should be reunited.
But Senator Boies Penrose—THE MAX WHO WRECKED THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY—should not and will not be trusted to reconstruct-it!
I believe the people of Pennsylvania: will support a real Republican who is opposed to
PEXROSEISM.
I believe in the great Republican principles—the principles that have been the basis of
Republican success in the past.
lam a real Republican! I believe all the best features of the new progressive spirit ought
to be incorporated in the Republican Party, and I offer my service to bring about this condition.
A Vote For Dimmick May 19th, Is a Vote Against Penrose and Boss Rule

County and City Aathorities Dis
cuss Question of Nine
Months' Bill
| ' ) f\J Whether or not
the county Is prop
' iS,? jay afternoon con
« ferred upon the question of amicably
■ settling the dispute over the bill for
maintenance during the last nine
months of 1913. The county charged
cents per day per prisoner and
'its statement was for 9,800 days. The
previous charge was 20 cents per pris
oner and the city objected to the in
crease. The city authorities also con
tended that the county had charged
for GOO more days than the city's audit
showed.
] City Solicitor Seitz contended that
a two-day charge was made when a
man was taken to prison one afternoon
and discharged after breakfast the
next day. Prison Inspector AV. B.
Meetch contended that any change
from this would involve a greater ex
pense to the city as the charge is based
on the pro rata of the number of days,
j There was discussion here and there
jas to the need for a joint city hall and
I courthouse with provision for prison
-1 ers' detention, but the county officials
I insisted that the county is not In po
|sition financially to go into this yet.
| While it was snid that the prison cost
| problem will likely be amicabiy set-
I tied by city and county legal ad-
I I visers, it was intimated that the city
will take the matter into court If nec
essary.

Use like cold cream to instantly
stop itching and clear
the skin.
Sulphur, says a renowned dermatol
ogist, just common bold-sulphur made
into a thick cream will soothe ancl
heal the skin when irritated and
broken out with Eczema or any forni
of eruption. The moment it is applied
all itching ceases and after two or
three applications the Eczema disap
pears, leaving tho skin clear and
smooth.
He tells Eczema sufferers to get
from any good pharmacy an ounce of
bold-sulphur cream and apply it to tho
irritated parts the same as you would
any cold cream.
For many years common bold-sul
phur has occupied a secure position in
the practice of dermatology and cuta
neous affections by reason of its para
site-destroying property. It is not only;
parasiticidal, but also antipruritic,'
antiseptic and remarkably healing in
all irritable and inllammatory condi
tions of the skin. While not. always
effecting a permanent euro It never
fails to Instantly subdue tho angry,
itching and irritation and heal the Ec
zema right up and it is often yearn
