NOG WITH PATENT MEDIGIES An Old-fashioned, Home-Made Mix- ture which Cures Kidney and 'Liver Troubles. A pradiinent local druggist states that since the celebrated prescription of a distinguished specialist has be- come -more or less known it is inter- fering with the sale of secret medi- cines, especially the patent or ad- vertised kidney pills, he prescrip- tion, which first appeared in a lead- ing health journal, is reproduced here, just exactly as originally written :-- Fluid Extract Cascara.... Carriana Compound .... Syrup Sarsaparilla ....... Directions: One teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime. Any good druggist can dispense this, or, even better, a person can buy the items separately and/™mix them at home by shaking them well together in a bottle. It is stated that the ingredients being vegetable, 'are tiarmless and simple. It has a gentle and natural action, and gradually tones g up the eliminative tissues, feaving the kidneys' in a perfectly healthy condition. A merchant well known in public affairs states that this recipe cured his rheumatism. Save the prescrip- tion. A bag or a barrel --it'sall the same.

Andrew Carnegie's Latest--Gambl- ing Houses As Carefully _Pro- tected As the Greatest Banks --Booker ' Washington's Pithy Joke. - Every wide-awake man in this big- gest and richest of all American' ci- ties will be compelled to hear a great lot of talk in the next few months about how poor his city is, and whether the results to him will' be pleasing or miserable will depend on the temper and temperament of the hearer. Almost every one buf the very hig_ tax-gaysrs, who are not nu- merous enough to earry a ward: on election day if they all chanced to | live in it, is demanding necessary im- provements, among which are a twen- ty million dollar city hall, for the old one would not be too large for a city of a hundred thousand inhabi- tants, a forty million dollar bridge across the Hudson river, and a lot of new subways at nobody knows what cost;--the one already in use took about fifty million dollars. But the money for such things cannot be raised by direct taxation; it must be borrowed, 'through the issue of bonds, and the cruel fact has forced itself upon the attention of city officials and men who 'wish to be elected to the higher offices that New York's bor vowing capacity has practically reach- ed its limit. It cannot be extended, under the law, unless increased valu- ations are placed on real estate which is already staggering under as high figures as it will stand. The city's debt is already six hundred and thir- ty-six million dollars--but mever mind the few hundred thousand besides. This is more than the combined debts of all other big American cities : and more than lwice as much as the sum total of the debt of the forty-six states of the union. Any talk of cutting down running expenses of the city government for the sake of desired improvements would provoke a howling chorus from the fifty thousand or more men on the city's payroll and also from the heads of departments," almost all of whom need more men, more materials and more money with which to pay for them, for the city is growing steadily, and cannot stop growing if it would, for the greater part of everybody and everything that comes into the United States insists on land- ing at New York and the greater part that must go out of the coun- try has the same sort of preference and as there is no way of unloading some taxes on the nation and the world at large New York wants to know what is to be done. Andrew Carnegie, who by common consent is our richest resident, Wil liam Waldorf Astor having become a naturalized Britisher, has been doing the most nervy thing of his very nervy life, for he said recently that of the forty-three partners he had had in the iron and steel business, forty-one became millionaires. He is credited with a determination 'to remain out of active business for the remainder of his life, and he has a will of his own, as everybody who ever attempted to cross it can testify, but he might be startled to know how many shrewd men have been resolving on the strength of that forty-one millionaire story, to beguile him into business again, no matter what kind of busi: ness, so that they may become his partners. Some of them ave men, as old as he, who used to sneer at his estimates of the amount of money that might be made out of iron and steel, and the maddening fact, to them, is that at the time they had money to invest and Andy needed it to extend his manufacturing facilities. Carnegie told 'a blunt truth in a re- cent address when he intimated that the principal business of a college pre- sident of the present day is to heg money for his institution. He might have added, with entire truth, that most of these honest beggars come to New York and get more or less oi what they come for. One of the most frequent visitors of this kind, and also one of the most popular, is a colored man, Booker T. Washington, of Tuskegee. To the modesty and tact which have won him the Tespect of many New Yorkers with dollars to spare he has added in the past two or three years quite a popular kind of humor--the kind of joking that has a point which any man can supply to himseli or his friends. His latest, told in New York, related to the days when he was very fond of fighting, and a great winner at it, too, though no one but himself seemed to notice that he was careful not to hit anoth- er chap unless he was dead sure he could down him. "But," he continu: ed, "in the course of time it occurred to me that the only way I could keep a fellow down in the mud after 1 had put him there was to stay down in the 'mud myself and hold him there. To a man who likes to get into the mud and stay there, that 'sort of thing may be all right, but--well, 1 found it paid better iy the long run to try to persuade 4 man into my way of thinking than. to thrash him into it and know Ye'd change his mind as soon as I let go my hold." As not one man in a hundred, this side of the Pacific States, handles half a dozen gold coins in the course of a year, it may be well for the public to know that if offered, as money, a bit of yellow metal a little smaller than a silver quarter and lpoking like a brass tag punched into shape by a village blacksmith in a hurry it will not be proper to collar the man who offers it and twn him over to the authorities as a shover of counterfeit currency. For the new 'five-dollar gold piece is the oddest looking thing in the shape "of a coin that one is likely to have ggbn anywhere except, per haps, infYmuseyms or other places where thd coinage of andent nations is exhibited. On one side is the héad of an Indian with as ugly a face as could be found in any "Wild West" show, and on the other is a represen- tation of the proud bird of our coun- try--not the eagle with extended wings with whom our silver coinage has made everybody atquainted, but a sober, almost dejected fowl, with his \ ' giving his whole time to looking ° a¢ ) i i Whatever iginal design has been knocked out by the outlines of everything being sunk- en--cut in, instead of raised. e ex- planation is that gold coin is so soft that it, easily loses some of its value by the raised portions chafing and wearing away. But the old saying, "Explanations are not excuses," will come to the mind of many a man who meets the new five-dollar coin face to ion in New York as birt | ashi 8 bi ha sents and Christmas "gifts, has "always been a run on the banks for any mew design, but this newest thing fromthe mint is being left se- verely alone for gift purposes, except by people who, with malice afore thought, are determined to scare the receiver out of a night's sleep or a vear's growth. It is currently reported that if man comes to New York with som money he is trying to get rid of, and reaches down after fall street ha closed its doors for the day, he won' have any trouble in finding some on at his hotel who will tell him wher to.find a game at which he will b welcome as long as he has the cash and sand to buy chips. Why the polic cannot get this sort of information at the hotels nobody seems to know, fo policemen are not always in uniform. But once in a while--usually a long while--the whereabouts of a gambling house reaches headquarters and a raid is made. If the right officers are sel- ected and nobody vy as somebody usually did in old ' times, unless the proprietor of the house was behind hand in his payments for protection quite a haul of gamblers and chips is made. But since ,the boss gamblers were compelled to believe that the present police commissioner means to suppress gambling whenever he can, the interior of a gambling house is about as hard to reach as the inner vaults of a Wall street bank. Intro- ductions or passwords are necessary and even after these have got a man inside the front door he can not get any farther if the house's own stafi of detectives do not like the looks of him. Some of the approaches to the rooms in which the game is '"'on" are as devious as the entrance to a thieves' den; others are as straight as the path of the righteous, until a blank wall or something equally unexpected blocks the way. The latest thing of the kind that the police have run up| against was an innocent-looking door of sheet-iron, the sort of door that they have often broken when at work | on a business building from which a fire alarm had been sounded. So they went at the door with the short crowbars used for such purposes by the force, and - a second later every stalwart policeman howled like a' schoolboy whose nose has got in the way of a bigger hoy's fist, for the door was literally a "live wire'--a' by a big storage battery ! Of course they found a new point of attack and pulled the place, but ever since that day thev are wondering what new thing they will next find themselves ming bath, such as one of the alleged legal "exits" of a moving picture show has proved to be. But pulling the gambling hoyses does not stop the gambling; if a man is known to have a wad in his clothes and a will- ingness to get rid of some of it while trying to get a grip on somebody else he will find enterprising New Yorkers waiting for him and they will find a convenient place, if it is merely the back basemerit of a church, such as one flourishing game went on in for a while. --GARGOYLE.

London, Jan. 5.~ Archbishop of Canterbury's New Year's message to the clergy and laity of 'his diocese says that since the state has taken over the duty of relieving the very poor, the church must yieid place, 'but similarly, though in a less de- gree, the state has accepted and dis- charged, be it well or ill, the ob- vious task of giving elemen edu- cation in things secular to little chil- dren, which was, in the old days; left, so far as the state was concerned, to the benevolence of the . Christian church, but here because education in an old Christian land like ours ip volves of sheer nevesgity the du of bringing to t nowledge of chi the of their heavenly Fath- er's love, the Christian chi as such cannot possibly step aside. A tion rests upon the his- toric Church of England to readjust itself to the new conditions, and with- out diminishing by the weight of a single ounce the trust involved in the injunction, 'feed my lambs," to make the right discharge of thgé trust cor- respond withythe conditions not of a generation ago but of to-day." A Real Heroine. The following clipping from a west- ern paper presents Miss Eva Shorey, daughter of J. J. Shorey, one of New- burgh's former citizéhs, in the light of a real heroine and needs no further comment. Miss Eva's many friends here congratulate her on her fortun- ate escape from such a great peril and on her exceedingly plucky conduct in saving 'her pupils in similar danger : "A triple drowning was very nar- rowly averted near Central St. An- drew's school on the afternoon of Wed- nesday Jast. The teacher, Miss Eva Shorey, of Winnipeg, had 'dismissed the junior pupils for the day. When on the way home one little boy, aged twelve, ventured out on the ice, which He had 'gone some distance from shore when the ice gave way. Miss Shorey on bein informed of the accident, seized a broom, the only available ob- ject, and hurried to the helpless boy. Seeing that the broom was of little assistance she reached out, caught him, and .had almost succeeded in res- cuing him from his perilous position when the ice broke, and both went down. As the water is several feet deep, owing to the dam at the locks, neither was able to gain a footing. There was nothing to do but cling to the breaking ice until help should ar- nve. Fight Disease.
