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.

'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

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. I have no doubt he has, but
Wjjy should he mention It at that time?

DOES CARSON
KNOW "FURNITURE'
If So, He Won't Ac'rr.lt It To Berr;
Before the Election.
Even Attorney General Carson at
tempts to tide over the capitol gr?.£
discussion' until aftei the eloct:. n
thus proving himself to ho as haro
brained as thr "eminently respectable
advisers" cf Wesley R. Andrews a in!
Penrose. Corson evidentlj feels obll

perfectly proper question, which th.«
Attorney General. 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. .
