jpanuilUlMfUigeHttt Established In 1828. There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years wus supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to l>e a con stitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu tional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoon fill. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testi monials. Address: F. J.

The North American Review in its current number declares in favor of womau suffrage, that is the complete political enfranchisement of women. 44 We are convinced," it says, 4, that the time has arrived when tho welfaie of the nation would be most effectual ly conserved by confering upon women th.) privilege of voting and holding political office." 'SHALL THE GRAFTERS ESCAPEP (Continued from page 2.) would go tar toward equalizing the ' amount of personal property tax, li cense fees ami other moneys whicb "Farmer" Creasy's grange tax-reform I bills would have returned to the coun ties. It is now understood why the machine leaders smothered those bills, which would have greatly lightened the local taxation burdens. Barry picks out of the Pennypacker- Snyder official report items amounting to $3,236,121, of which all were in the original building contract specifica tions, and were for work or suppliei required to be done or furnished by th< the builder of the "shell," and yet all of that money was taken by Penny packer's board out of the general fund, without special appropriation, to- pay for what the board has treated ae "fur nishings." Berry, quoting from th« board members' own report, specific? among those items modeling anil sculp ture, marble aud wood wainscoting, mosaic glass, fireplaces, tile and wood floors, mantels, vaults and safes, drink ing water plant, complete lighting sys. tem, duplex telegraph system, ther mometers, etc., etc., together with $303,093 for fitting up the eighth floor. Despite the testimony of ex-Gover nor Stone, of United States Architect Green, and even of the final official re port of Architect Huston, that the cap ltol was finished by the building commission in accordance with the specifications, and needed only the Il luminating fixtures to be ready for oc cupancy, all of the foregoing work and supplies, aggregating three and a quar ter million dollars, were afterward paid for by Pennypacker's board undej the pretenre of "furnishing." Accord ing to the testimony, It seems that tht* vast amount was paid twice —first In the building payments of the $4,000,- 000, and afterwards In the "furnish ings" payment*, out of the $9,000,000 Who got It? Would Bob Young, 11 Auditor General, tell us? He remain ed mum as a clam while he was solici tor of the Capitol commission for foul years up to a few weeks ago. Would a legislature composed of Penrose's re nominated vice-den and Ripper voteri give the people the particulars of thli $3,226,121 graft? Then the Huge Overcharges. Setting all that aside, Berry showi that of the $4,562,252 spent for "fur nishings" under the "furniture" art ol 1895, at least $2,000,000 Is overcharge This Is In the chandeliers and brackets Bacarat cut-glass panels, bronze deco rations, filing cases, etc. He consider! probable "a proportionate overchargi In the other $4,000,000 of expenditures,' but declares that nothing short of I rigid investigation by experts, empow ered to subpoena witnesses, will re veal the whole truth. How the "Pennsylvania Construc tion Company," which had no plant ol visible means of doing any work at all, got the metallic contract whicl gave It a clean profit of half a mllllor dollars, is partly revealed by the faci that nearly everything was by "th< foot" or by "the pound." Berry Illus trated: A special dpslgn was made for I chandelier; the bidder would estimati what he could make it for at a profit as such things are ordinarily made and. suppose his figure was S2OO. Hi would then estimate the weight of It as such things are ordinarily made only to find that It would weigh, saj 30 pounds; but the maximum price ii IE per pound, and, of course, he can not bid, but the contractor who is wist to the scheme can take it. becaufi he knows that instead of the usua 1-16 or % of thickness of metal, hi can make It Vfc-inch or 1-lnch, or a foot thick. If necessary, and make it welgt 200 pounds, and thus get SIOOO for it. This la the way this contract wai let. and some of the chandeliers weri made to weigh as high as 4000 pounds and costing more than $20,000 each! More than 300,000 pounds of bronzi was put Into these chandeliers, costlni the maker 30 cents per pound, or S9O. 000. The work upon them cost. sa3 twice as much more, making $270,000 and sold to the state for $1,600,000 showing an overcharge of at least I million dollars in this one item. Thi glass globes and panels were "extra,' and cost $138.757,.09. Eevery item on this schedule Is opei to the same criticism, and the estimati I have made of the total overcharge ii extremely conservative. Berry Is a mechanic, and knows t good Job when he sees it. Let It bi assumed that the capitol Is a good jot —despite the showing already thai parts of It are the contrary—let It bi assumed that the expenditures havi been legally made, and that over charges cannot be proved, yet the erec tlon of such a gorgeous, sumptuoui palace for the use of a few men and thi gratification of a larger number, it without excuse, having been secretlj and surreptitiously done, while manj worthy charities and necessary publli works were denied, as they are today the support they need. The helplesi wards of the state are suffering foi common necessities, and the lndigen l Insane are sleeping and dying in thi corridors of the overcrowded asylum: owned and ostensibly carod for by thi state. T.he appropriations for thesi have been denied and vetoed to keei the money in the treasury so that thi grafting capitol scheme and the farm ing out of the surplus could continue. The people are about to choose thi men to investigate this whole shock ing disgrace. Will the people choosi the candidates whose political or per sonal interest lies in exonerating thi politicians who have done the plun dering or made It possible? The bronzi head of Candidate Young is on th« capltol door. He drew S2OOO a yeai from the state for keeping the capito transactions "straight." He is no seeking the Auditor General's offlct with the aim of exposing and condemn ing himself and the grafters. But tha is the object of "Farmer" Creasy, Mr Emery and their colleagues, Including the anti-Gang nominees for the stati legislature. A Had Place to Get Sick. In his book, "Uganda and Its Peo ples," J. F. Cunningham tells of a curl ous manner of treating the sick among a certain native African tribe: "When A person fell ill the village prophet was called In. lie said at once wheth er the sick person would recover or not. If he was doomed to die he was allowed to fulfill the prophecy; If he was to live there was no need of med ical aid." Another strange custom Is explained in the words of the native who when asked by the author why women wore not allowed to eat the flesh of goats replied, "There is no why; It is the custom." Dumley Bewildered. Dumley—l never saw a man like Brixton to drift away from tho subject under discussion. Barrass—As, for instance? Dumley—l Just asked him what be was doing the night I saw him down the road, and he evaded an answer by remarking that he had known people to get rich by attending to their own business.

In c ommon courtesy, ps well as In his duty to the state that pays him a fat. salary, should have an swered as plainly as any school boy who reads the simply worded restric tions upon the Board of Public Grounds and Buildings, could answer. The act of 1895, reorganizing the board, gave it a supposed authority to buy "furniture" and pay for it out of the "general fund," without a specific appropriation. In each session of the legislature, since the passage of the capitol act of 1901, the general appro priation bill has contained a paragraph to the efTect that the Auditor General and State Treasurer should honor the "furniture" requisitions of the board to an indefinite extent. But if a propo sition had beeu made in the legisla ture to add. for "furniture," $9,000,000 to the original appropriation for the capitol, even Frank McCloin and other machine men who had been careful to make the amount for "completion" $4.000.000, would have raised a storm to shake the commonwealth, for Frank, at that time, was making campaign capital for Elkin's gubernatorial can didacy. The general appropriation paragraph provided that the limitless or "blank" permission to the board should not permit it to do a hand's turn toward assisting in "completing" the capitol. Now, all that Mr. Berry wanted to get out of Carson, officially, was an opin ion as to whether, even if the board could legally provide "furniture" with out limit, it could, when expressly for bidden by the appropriation bills to do so. go ahead, as it has done, with not only "furnishings," but also with , "completing" the capitol by spending some millions upon irremovable, per manent parts of the building. As the act of 1895 and the appro priation bills plainly restricted the board, and as two legislatures took | the pains to re-assert that restriction, Mr. Berry simply desires that Mr. Car- j son. without going into the graft scan dal at all, should just afilrm the plain mandate bf the law against the board's "completing'' the capitol. Berry did not need Carson's opinion, but. only aimed to proceed in an orderly way. i Carson was not asked to mix In the controversy, and yet, instead of taking up Berry's simple question of whether white was white or black, launched into a criticism against Berry's fail ure to have found out in three weeks all the rottenness and plundering that may occupy the time of the coming legislature for months. Every Farmer and Laborer Knows. Until Berry should perform impos sibilities before the election, Carson refused to say whether Berry was right In judging that window frames, floors, fireplaces, walls, marble wains coting and many other such permanent fixtures were not furniture. If there had been no capitol scandal, and Car son had been asked such a question In the street. In a chance meeting with a friend, does anybody doubt that the Attorney General would have answer ed the question just as every farmer and laborer In the state is, today an swering it for himself? But the gang sters have been driven crazy mad by the hurricane raised by Berry, and do not seem responsible for their say ings or doings. With "Farmer" Creasy reminding the throngs at the mass meetings of such facts as the one that Architect Huston has been awarded as his fees and commissions a total pay greater thap the presidents of the United States have received altogether in the last 10 years, Carson, no doubt, real izes that the workingmen are doing some deep thinking, and the only thing the gang can do in the hope of dis tracting the people from the one great issue is to strive to sidetrack them to irrelevant matters, just as Penny packer is doing in his efforts to have special railroad excursions of the peo ple to see that the capitol is V6ry grand. That Is not the'point with the peo ple, who want to know, not the gran deur or beauties, but the full extent of the graft and who got it. Furthermore, since Berry's discovery of the weak and fraudulent cement pavement, and since it has been charged that in many other respects various jobs in the building are anything but "workman like," it is about time for the gang to stop boasting even that the people, al though grossly buncoed and over charged, have got a good building. Berry has begun to show the falsity of even this claim, and he tells the people that it will take a very long time to get to the bottom of all the rascality. HAIR POWDER. rite HlflTh Prlcsrof Grain In Bnglss« Sealed Its Doom. During the last years of the eight eenth century the price of grain in Eng land was very high. So much flour was used as hair powder that an at tempt was made U> check its use. A book, "At the Sign of the Barber's Pole," contains a copy of a document Issued by the "mayor, justices and principal Inhabitants" of Great Yar mouth, recommending the disuse of bair powder for a time. "We flatter ourselves," they suid in this proclamation, which was issued In January, 1795, "the military will not hesitate to adopt It, being fully convinc ed that appearances are at all times to be sacrificed to the public weal and that In doing this they really do good. Jan. 27, 1705." lu the following April a party of gen tlemen at Woburn abbey entered Into an engagement to forfeit a certain Bum of money if any of them wore their hair tied or powdered within a certain period. Nevertheless the Tories regarded with distrust persons who did not use hair powdfer. So late as 1820 a certain Major Cox of Derby, an excellent Tory, declined to allow his son to become a pupil of a well known clerical tutor, fur the reason that the clergyman did not powder and that be wore bis hair Bhort, which suggested that he must be a dangerous revolutionist. .
