Such was the condition when no war threatened the United States. There was an unprecedented shortage of men and cars all through the recent winter. What will conditions be like when a large num ber of men are drawn from the mines to serve in the armies? Also many miners are and trouble may be expected from explosions, strikes, etc. The situation is so serious that the coal opera tors will not guarantee prices for any definite period. Large coal consumers who have heretofore con tracted for a year's supply of fuel are told that prices are good for thirty days only. It is important that the householder lay in this spring a full supply of coal for next winter. Under no circumstances would it be advisable to wait until late summer to fill your coal bins. If you have never put in your entire win ter's fuel at one time—this is the year to do so. • V United Ice & Coal Co, Korster * C'owden Hummel & Mulberry Third & Boas • / 15 & Chestnut Also Steelten, Pa.

The ovation ac ' j corded Ambassador Gerard had a | deeper significance than a welcome to | a popular statesman-hero; it was a i manifestation of absolute allegiance Ito the Federal Government. To the ! accompaniment of inspiring oratory, j the blaring of martial music and the waving of flags it spelled PATRIOT i ISM AND LOYALTY in unmistakable ' j terms. Intcrchtiiis Career ■[ The family history and early career • of Mr. Gerard make interesting read ■ J ing. lie descends from an old New I York house of the most illustrious lineage, and began life with a heritage of honorable records and tasks well done, that must certainly have proved the source of inspiration. His paternal ancestors were French, but departed from their native land during the troublous reign of Lcuis XVI, owing to persecutions, political and religious. Their residence was then taken up in Scotland, where the great grandfather of this jurist was born. He, William , Gerard, lived at Gibraltar, for a time, but emigrated to the United States prior 16 1780. Joining his lot with the thrifty colonists of that dav, who were soon to become the Fathers of a glori ous new Republic, he entered business and prospered. About one year subse quent to his arrival in New York he | married Miss Christina Glass, the ; daughter of an old Southlandshire family whose father. John Hector Monroe, was Governor of the East Indies. The name is well known in connection with old New York history. Seven children sprang from this union, the youngest of whom was the father of James Watson Gerard. He was a member of the Iron Gravs, a company organized for home defense in the War of 1812. After that conflict he studied law, was admitted to prac tice and won considerable distinction i in his lifetime, both as a barrister and i as a citizen, being identified with nu | merous important philanthropic and j economic movements for the good of the community. Successful Lawyer James Watson Gerard first saw the light of day at Geneseo, N. Y., in 1867. He was intended for the law from the first and was accordingly en rolled as a student of the New York Law School, from which he graduated in 1892. He at once entered the office of Rowers & Sands, a prominent firm of the day, and set about acquiring a practical knowledge of a legal office. Here he continued for seven vears and to such good purpose that in 1899 he was admitted as a full partner. As a practicing lawyer Mr. Gerard was eminently successful. He became counsellor to a number of large finan cial and .commercial Institutions, in the defense of which and In the legal guidance of whose actions ho rendered competent and able service. Many of the cases in which he appeared were justly famous and often involved mat ters of the most portentous weight. In his career as a barrister he appeared often before the bar and was active In such a diversified and variegated practice that he soon possessed a fund of experience unusually broad. How ever, he was always aligned with jus tice and never lent his talents to the furtherance of promotions or opera tions prejudicial to public welfare. While still an attorney Mr. Gerard figured in National Guard affairs. In 1890 he enlisted in Company F, Twelfth Infantry, as second lieutenant, becoming captain two years later. He saw service in the Spanish-American war as aide-de-camp on the staff of General McCoskry Butt, with the rank of captain. For services rendered in that capacity he was made quarter master with the grade of major of the First Brigade, in June, 1900. He continued to hold that rank until his retirement. For several years he was on the finance committee of Tammany Hall. He was also president of the Mexico Society -of Nw York City after his re tirement front the bench. Mr, Gerard was married to Miss Mary Daly, daughter of the late Mar cus Daly, of Butte, Mont., In 1901, and made his home In New York, city up to the time of his appointment as ambassador to Germany. I SENATE GRAVE AND QUIET WHEN WAR VOTE IS COUNTED Only Six Votes Cast Against President's International Policies Washington, April 5. The Senate last night adopted by a vote of 82 to | ti the resolution recognizing a state of i war and its approval by the House to day without protracted debate was ex- j pected.

Headache and vomiting also fever and 'chills frequently Attacks one or an other.

MAKING IT PLAIN The Pure Food and Drug Laws aim to protect the public by preventing mis-statements on the labels of prepa rations but some people continue to accept "extracts" of cod livers think j ing they will get the benefits of an j emulsion of cod liver oil. The difference is very great. An i "emulsion" contains real cod liver oil, j which has had the hearty endorse j ment of the medical profession for many years, while an "extract" is a product which contains no oil and is * v highly alcoholic. Scott's Emulsion guarantees the high est grade of real Norwegian cod liver oil, skilfully blended with glycerine and liypophosphites. Scott's is free from the false stimulation of alcohol and is en dorsed by good physicians everywhere. Scott & Bowuc. Bloomficld. N.
