How to Cure a La Grippe Cough
"Coughs that hang on" demand
treatment. Stop and think! Reason and
I common sense tell you that it is fo'lv
! to "grin and bear it." Those racking
la grippe coughs that wrench the bo Iv
and cause soreness and pains in the
lungs yield more quickly to Foley's
Honey and Tar than to any other treat
! ment. Forty years' record of success
proves this. For coughs, colds, croup
and other distressing ailments of throat,
chest, lungs, larynx and bronchial tube*,
you en 11 find nothing that will compare
with this reliable remedy. Geo. A. Gor

DR. BUCK SPEAKS AT TECH
Former Principal of High School Con
gratulates Boys on Opportunities
Two interestiag a<l<irossrs were jjivon
to the students of the Technical High
school yesterday morning during the
opening exercises, by Dr. Fowler Buck,
of Geneseo, N. Y., and the Rev. Dr. A.
W. Lamar, of Atlanta, Ga.
Dr. Buck was the first principal of
the local technical school, during the
session of 1904-1905. He said that his
dream of 11 years ago had been real
ized' in the construction of the present
magnificent budding, and congratulated
the students on their opportunities. He
stated that the man of the hour is the
man who lias a trained hand and head.
Dr. Buck is a warm friend of Gov
ernor-elect Brumbaugh, and is in Har
risburg attending the inauguration. Aft
er leaving this city in 1905, Dr. Quek
was elected head of the Department of
Pedagogy of the Geneseo State Normal
school.
Dr. Lamar gave a talk to the boys
which was filled with humor. He em
phasized the importance of having the
Governor ''right on the inside of each
individual, so that there will be no need
of statute laws to control the people.
Dr. is a noted Baptist minister
and lecturer, and addressed the local
teachers Association two years ago on
the subject: "Dixie Before the War."
Praise for John McCormack
The preliminary announcement of
the .lohn McCormaelt concert to take
place February 3 > D the Chestnut
Street auditorium has resulted in manv
requests for ticket information and
other details. The -nanagement an
nounces it will endeavor to give all an
eqjial chance to hear the famous singer.
Hedfern Mason, in the San Francisco
'' Examiner, said of the artist: "John
McCormack came, sang and, as usual,
conquered, yesterday afternoon nt the
Cort theatre. His voice seems to be
even sweeter, deeper, more mellow and
sonorous than when he charmed us a
year ago; his artistry more assured,
easy and complete Nature and art
appear to meet on equal terms, in the
temperament, the training and the ar
tistic offerings of John McCormack.
What his fellow countryman, George
Moore, terms the two fundamental
types of all art—tihe 'folk,' or that
which springs spontaneously from the
common people, and the 'classic,' or
that which springs from the cultured
consciousness of the artistically civil
ized—come together in a complete har
mony in this singer. His Celtic temper
ament, the magic which is his by right
of birth, gives an indescribable yet
very evident distinctive quality to his
art that sets the seal of uniqueness upon
him.''
$60,000 to Buy Coal for the Poor
York, Pa., Jan. 19.—The will of

At the Victoria To-day
''The Charlotte Street Mystery,'' a
thrilling detective drama in three
parts, heads to-day's big bill of above
the average motion pictures at the Vic
toria theatre, 223 Market street. If

woman baffles a detective for a time,

stirring escapes, don't fail to see this
wonderful production. Two other head
liners at the Victoria to-day are "Three
Brothers," exceptional nhoto-drama in

PATROLMAN FOUND GUILTY
OF SECOND DECREE MURDER
Verdict in Case of Scott. Who Killed
Nathan Banks, Readied by Jury
After Five Hours' Deliberation-
May Be No Application for Retrial
Guilty of niurdfir in the second de
gree wua the verdict of the jury, ren
dered last night, in the case of Hubert
F. Scott, the city patrolman who shot
mid mortally wounded Nathan Banks,
another colored man, at 111!) Monroe
street, on the night of August 1. last.
The jury recommended Scott to the
mercy of tin- court a.id Judge McCar
len »aiu tuat cognizance of that sug
gestion will be taken.
W. Justin Cartel a"d Harry B.
Saussaman, counsel for Scott, were
granted ten days in which to take an
appeal from the jury s decision and fiie
reasons for a n w trial, although it is
not believed that sach action will be
taken. The jury deliberated something
like five hours, having retired to their
room shortly after 5 o'clock and an
nounced at j 0.15 o'clock that an agree
ment had been reached.
It reported that on the first ballot
five jurors favored a verdict of mur
der in the first degree, five favored sec
ond degree and two were for acquittal.
Even though Ulie defense does not
press its claim for a rehearing, it is not
likely that Scott will lie called for sen
tence before the second week in Febru
j ar . v -
The conviction of Scott leaves a va
I cancy on the citv police force, which
j now is being filled temporarily. The
City Commissioners will within a week
I or two pppoint a permanent patrolman.
Scott was appointed a patrolman in
I March, last, and was considered an effi
cient policeman. ITe worked exclusive

PRISONERS'CARE SERIOUS
PROBLEM TO THE SERVIANS
Correspondence of the Associated Pi-ess.
lxmdon, Jan. 10.—The care of pris
oners taken in battle has become one
of the most serious problems of the war
in Servia which already has its hands
full feeding and providing for its own
people. A Servian captain writes to
one of the staff of the legation here
continue:
"One can have too much of a good
thing. We begin to understand why
savages take no prisoners. But we are
not savages and must feed and roof all
these hostile visitors until the war is
| over. It is becoming a tremendous tax
I on our resources. '
"Some of the Slav prisoners—and
I most of oitr prisoners are Slavs—are
j not ill-disposed toward Servia and a
fow of these we trust with the less im
portant work of camp and battlefield.
I One of my corporals who hurried across
! from an Austrian border town as a vol
unteer at the beginning of the war,
came hauling an Austrian dragoon be-
I fore me to-day, his face wreathed in
smiles. 'This is my own brother, cap*
I tain,' he said. 'T told him before I left
that he would be pressed into the Aus
trian army if he remained, and suro
I euough, here he is!'
"The dragoon was so evidently!
| friendly that I did not send him back
| to Nish with the other prisoners, but
■ gave him in change of his brother."
At the Photoplay 10-day
Miss I.ottie Briscoe and her famous
partner, Artihur Johnson, appear to-day
in a two-act comedy-drama, "Comrade
Kitty." Lottie Johnson, as the bogus
Countess, and Johnson, as the Count,
are funny in the extreme. "The
Scorpion's Sting." two-act Kalem
drama, featuring dainty Alice Hollister
and Harry Millarde, is a convincing
drama. "Billy's Wager,'' Vitagraph,
with Billy and Constance Ta,l
madge, is another good comedy. Wed
! nesday "Hearts aud Masks," Selig
I drama, featuring Kathlyn Williams.

Origin of Humbug
It is not generally known that the
word "humbug," long so much in
vogue, is of Scottish origin. There
was in olden time a race called Bogtie
or Boag of that ilk in Berwickshire.
A daughter of the family married a
son of Hume, of Hume, in process o<
time, by default of male issue, the
Bogue estate devolved on one Ueordie
Hume, who was called popularly
"Hume of the Bogue," or rather,
"Hum o' the Bug.
He waß inclined to the marvelous
and had a vast inclination to exalt
himself, his wife, family, brother and
all his ancestors on both sides. Hi«
tales, however, did not pass current,
and at last, when any one made an ex
traordinary statement in the Nearns,
the hearer would shrug up his shoul
ders and style it just " a hum o' the
bug." This was shortened into hum
bug, and the word soon spread ovei
the whole kingdom.—Philadelphia In
