He stated that he knew him well, had done business with him In New York, and described him perfectly. This information was wired to Captain Mc Cluskey. of New York, who immediately sent Detective Sergeant Tinker here to identify him. In the meantime Chief Watts and De tectives Douglass and Morrissey went to the hotel, but could not find, the man. Inquiry of the hotel people brought out the fact that a man answering the de scription had registered as Bryan Ster ling, and had been assigned to a ro-;m. but that he had not used It On the ar rival of Detective Tinker, a search of all the hotels in the city was made, with out success. From Information brought to Chief Watts today, he and Detective Armstrong, went to a boarding-house In the Back Bay district They went up to a. back room on the first floor and found the door locked.

NEW YORK, Oct 29. SInpo the an nouncement of the embezzlement of Note Teller Alvord. of the First National Bank, there have been many stories of new and rigid espionage by banking-houses over their clerks. One of these stories' con cerns the German Savings Bank. It was reported last night that five of the clerks of that institution have been discharge! because detectives discovered that they were associates of gamblers. Three of them are said to have had an Interest In a bookmaklnc firm that does business at the local racetracks. The story relates that detectives were placed on the trail of all of the clerks In the bank, and that the five in question were the only ones about whom, anything suspicious could be learned. It was not said that the clerks had stolen anything or that they contemplated any wrong doing, but the Information Is to the ef fect that the officers of the bank deemed It best to get rid of them. DESPERATE CRIMINALS. They Killed a Keeper and a Trusty In an Effort to Escape. NEW YORK, Oct. 29. Two colored pris oners, in an attempt to escape from the prison attached to the Seventh District Court in West Fifty-fourth street, today, killed Keeper Hugh McGovern, El years old. and probably fatally injured George Wilson. 59 years, a "trusty." who had evidently tried to aid McGovern. One of the prisoners, Arthur Flanagan, escaped, the other, Frank Emerson, fell Into the yard adjoining the prison and was in stantly killed. The prisoners were together in a cell on "the first tier, on a level with the fourth floor of the prison. They sawed two bars In the lower part of the cell door and got Into the corridor. They went to the nearest window, about six feet from the floor, and sawed one bar at tne bot tom, shoving It out and getting through. In doing this. It Is supposed they en countered McGovern and Wilson, killing one and wounding ihe other. The escaping prisoners used their bed Wng for xl rope and swung from a window. j?lanagan succeeded in swinging to the roof of a car stablo adjoining, but Emer son did not make it, and fell headlong to a pile of rails, crushing his skull.

The Boxschlcter Mystery. NEW YORK, Oct 29. The only link that seems to be lacklng,in the chain of evidence against the alleged murderers of Jennie Bosschieter, the Paterson mill hand, is the identification of the purchaser of the drug. There Is no question that j she died from the effects-of chloral pois oning', but it Is not known where the drug was bought or hy whom it was obtained. The police say that they know McAllster tried to get a bottle refilled at Kent's drug store on the evening of the tragedy, anK they say that they have the affidavit of one of the clerks there that he refused to sell chloral to McAllster on that night Tho police have been canvassing the list of MoAlisters friends in drug stores. There Is no law In New Jersey against the sale of chloral. THE TRANSVAAL CAMPAIGN Jacohsdal Affair Dae to Treachery of the Inhabitants. LONDON, Oct. 29.

Nearly Every Colliery Was In Fall Blast Yesterday Fevr 'Dispute Miners' Terms. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 29. Today wit nessed an almost general resumption of work In the anthracite region, where for six weeks the ,mlneworkers have been on strike for an advance in wages, a reduc tion in the price of powder and in sev eral districts the abolition of the sliding scale of wages. In a few Instances col lieries operated by Individuals and small companies have failed to resume. The Philadelphia & Reading Coal & Iron Company, which controls over 20 per cent of the output of the anthracite re gion and which is the largest operating company in tho hard coal field, today re ceived word from General Superintendent Luther at Pottsville that 37 of the 39 col lieries operated by that company are ALVORD, JR. working. The two collieries not in oper-. wion ioaay are tne west nenanaoan ana the Henry Clay, The former.according to local authorities, did not resume owing to the construction of new breaker. The Henry Clay, it was stated, was idle be cause the abandonment of that mine is contemplated. With the resumption of the Reading collieries, it is admitted that further opposition to the demands of the mlneworkers Is useless and It is the be lief of officials that In a few days those operators who have not acceded to the demands of the miners convention will have done so. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company, which operates nine collieries, also re ceived favorable reports today. But one of Its mines failed to resume; the William Penn, in the Schuylkill region. The com pany has, since the first offer of an ad vance In wages by the operators, re frained from making a statement as to what course it would pursue and -when notices were posted by other operators that the Scranton demands would be granted, this company still maintained Its silence. The men, however, were giv en to understand that the company would make no formal promises to them while they remained on strike, but on their return to work the company would treat with them the same as. any other oper ator. The men at the William Penn col liery decided that unless notices were posted promising the increase until April 1, none would report for work. It Is be lieved that the men will return after Pres5 Ident Mitchell of the United Mlneworkers has, assured them that tho Pennsylvania company will keep faith. At the office of the Lehigh Coal & Navigation Company, a statement was made that the 10 collieries operated by that company are working as usual. IN HAZLE7TON DISTRICT. Operations Were Resumed at a Ma jority of Collieries. HAZDETON, Pa., Oct. 29.-Operatlons ' were resumed this morning at a majority or tne collieries m the Hazleton district The strike Is still on at the mines of the Lehigh & Wllkesbarre Coal Com pany, located at Audenreid, Honoy brooke and Green Mountain. The Oneida and Derringer collieries of Cox Bros. & Co. are also idle because of some misun derstanding. All hands will probably be at work tomorrow.

Those who have not registered may vote by securing six freeholders who will make affida vits as to their Qualifications, and the affidavits will be taken without cost at 103 Third street, whero the unregis tered voter will also find all the neces sary blanks. Affidavits may bo taken at any time, and if left with tho Judpes of election at the polls will be considered as proof of the bearer's qualifications as a. voter. eteetc llery that did not resume is the one at Mllnesville, where no demands have been granted at all. Before the strike began this company threatened to abandon this mine and It seems that tho threat will be carried out The 50 men employed at Tyler & McTurk's Stockton washery re fused to work because they alleged they were offered only a 5 per cent Increase In wages. A. Pardee & Co., having filled the places of six "lokle" runners, the miners refused1 to go back to work at Cran berry until their runners were reinstated and. In consequence, the colliery Is Idle. Matters are shaping themselves tonight for a settlement of the difficulty at the Lehigh & Wllkesbarre Company's col lieries and work will be resumed on a satisfactory basis some time during the week. The trouble at Cranberry will also be settled and the men will be back at work on Wednesday. A number of collieries were crippled today on account of a shortage of water caused by the prevailing drought. In Laclravranna Valley. SORANTON, Pa., Oct 29. Over EC00 mine employes In the Lackawanna Valley refused to return to work this mornlns because the companies for which they had mined coal failed to comply with the terms of the Scranton miners' conven tion. The companies affected are the On tario & Western Railroad Coal Company, the Forest Mining Company, the Green Ridge Coal Company and tho Clark Tun nel Coal Company. At all the, other mines there was a complete resumption of work. It is believed the union can tie up mines 'that, show a disposition not to comply with, their demands. The labor leaders say they will insist upon enforcement of the mine laws, which provide that miners must bo qualified workmen, and have cer tificates to that effect This would pre vent the bringing' In of immigrants and minors from other states. Fifteen Thousand Men at Work. SHAMOICTN, Pa., Oct. 29. When tho colliery whistles blew this morning 15,000 mea and boys between Trevorton, this place, and" Mount Carmel reported for work. The only collieries idle are tho Henry Clay Excelsior and Corbln. . THAT STANDING ARMY. Many Military Posts in, United States Have Been Abandoned. WASHINGTON, Oct 23. It has be come the fashion of the Democratic ora tors to rail at the regular and standing Army. The candidate for Govornor of New York on the Democratic ticket, Mr. Stanchfield, said In a speech recemtly that tho regular Army was a menace, and that tho safety of the Nation was in tho volunteer Army. Of course, this man betrayed this ignorance In not know ing that there 13 practically no difference between tho volunteer and the regular forces at the present time. The regular forces are continued by enlistments, and the volunteer force is to be disbanded at a certain stipulated time. The fact is that the regular Army is aa much volun teer aa ary other Army that volunteers. The enlistments are wholly voluntary, and, not only that, tho term of enlist ment is but three years, and at the end of that time a man does not need to re enlist if he has other inclinations. Even the officers are wholly volunteers. There is no compulsion for them to go to West Point, no compulsion for them to remain, in the Army after they have entered it. They are volunt'oers aa much as tho vol unteer officers of any establishment, and can resign at any time. Candidate Bryan, in reviling the Army and criticizing the establishment of mili tary posts, ought 'to have known during his term in Congress that there has been o, movement to abandon a great many of the military posts throughout the coun try. But whenever such a proposition was on foot, it was vigorously opposed by tho Senators and Representatives of the state, whether they were Democrats, Re publicans or Populists. The fact is no one in Congress representing tho people ever seemed to see any menace- In a mili tary post near a town. There has always beon an effort to create military posts. The people of a community want them, and they never want them abandoned and turned over to the civil authorities. When Bryan speaks of a fear of a military post, he is a demagogue, pure and simple. What possible fear do the people of St Paul and Minneapolis have of a military post at Fort SneMng, or the people of Chicago on account of a mili tary poet at Fort Sheridan, or the peo plo of Portland of the military post at Vancouver and Fort Stevens? Is there a single person in the City of Portland that would want the military post removed from "Vancouver? There was not a sin gle voice raised by the people of Seattle and the adjoining territory in opposition to the establishment of a military post there, and, on the contrary, everybody was anxious to have it established. The same is tho case at Spokane. To the peo ple living in the vicinity of a military post It must be that Bryan made himself ridiculous. CAN GET NEAR WATER. Only Sheen Corrals Must Be 600 Yards From a Stream. WASHINGTON, Oct 25. One of the most welcome orders that has been Is sued by the Interior Department In years Is that of recent dale, which directs, all superintendents of forest reservations that hereafter herds of cattle- and horses Bhall not necessarily be corralled 500 yards or more from all running streams and springs. Under this new ruling corrals I ma' established directly on the banks . or streams u it is so desirea, mit oniy in the case of horses- and cattle. Sheep are not Included in this new ruling, and will not be. This new order waa brought about largely through the efforts of Senator Wolcott, of Colorado. For some time past the cattlemen, of his state have been be sieging him to take the matter up with the department, which he did. The whole case was investigated, principally by Gov ernor Richards, the Assistant Commls sioner of the Land Office, and it was found 'that the arbitrary practice of tho past was really without any good reason behind it, and the matter was so ex plained to the Secretary. The difficulty arose through a shbrtcom ing in the Land Office. It seems that the. Land Office has but one set of blank ap plications for permits to graze on forest reservation, and these were drawn up for sheep only. Later it was decided that cattle and horses should also be allowed to graze, but permits would be necessary, and instead of having new blanks printed, the old sheep applications were used, and tho word "sheep" was stricken out and "horses and cattle" Inserted in its place. It thus happened that the restriction which prohibited the corralling o'f sheep within 500 yards of any stream was also made to apply in the cose of cattle and horses, without any Intent to "do bo on the part of the department It Is now proposed to Issue new' blank applications for the cattlemen, which will eliminate the 500-yard prdvlslon. This new order of things will prove -a great boon to the cattlemen in all parts of tho West, for it is known that some of tho best pasture lands lie directly along the streams, and have heretofore been cut off very largely. The department Is satisfied that this new regulation will not result In any damage to the water supply, but that a similar extension to tho sheepmen wbuld1 prove disastrous. It Is possible that in the future the entire system of permits may be abolished, as up to the present time no application for a grazing permit has ever been refused. However, this Is a matter to 6e decided later. The present "ruling removes the only real ob jectionable feature of tho old permit sys tem. Naval Gunnery Practice. NEW YORK, Oct 29. Important action for tho improvement of gunnery practice has been taken by the Navy Department upon tho recommendation of Bear-Admiral Crownlnshleld, Chief of the Bureau of Navigation, says a Herald special from Washington. The department has issued a general order extending the course in gunnery instruction to each squadron of the Navy. The new order establishes an "Inspector of target practice" who shall be present at the "fighting efficiency practice" pro vided, and submit a comprehensive report thereon. It also constitutes a board of qfficers to be known as the Board of Gun nery Instructions, 'who will select sub ject to the approval of the commanding officer members of the gun crews to take gunnery Instruction courses. Preliminary instruction will be given; then final practice with small arms. " Then sub-caliber practice will be held, and Aen the preliminary target practice ship's gun pointers will be selected, and those Wav ing the highest percentage will be de tailed at the earliest opportunity for the advanced course provided for on board a gunnery training-ship.

THE PLAIN TRUTH WINS AND, IT, IS JUST AS WELL TO BE ENTIRELY , FRANK ABOUT TELLING IT The Remarkable Success of Drs. Copeland and Montgomery Is Due to Their Superior Skill and Experience as Practitioners and Specialists, Their System of Low, and Uniform. - Charges and Their Faithful, Honest and Conscientious Work in the Office. Until the innovation made by Drs. Copeland and Montgomery in placing medical skill and thorough and scientific treat ment for all diseases within reach of all, by a system of low and uniform prices,, it was al most impossible for people in moderate circumstances to ob tain the aid of skillful and con scientious specialists. The fact that in spite of their well-established and fairly earned reputa tion for honest work, skillful treatment and successful re sults, they still maintain their low and uniform charges; that they aim not alone at financial success as practitioners, but as well at the accomplishment of the greatest amount of possible good in the community. We have heard in tho past, and still hear, for that matter, many complaints over the ex orbitant fees charged by per sons claiming to be specialists in throat and lung troubles. J.t Is not only true that Drs. Cope land and Montgomery charge the low and uniform fee of $5 a Month for Medicines and Treatment But that a cure under their sys tem of treatment is more cer tain and more rapidly obtained than under any other known method and what is better still, their results are permanent, as Mr. shown by continual reference to cases printed years ago and reaffirmed by the patients speaking today. Skill and success in the practice of medicine can be no longer estimated by the size of the fees, when specialists having the largest practice and the highest and best reputa tion for honest skillful and successful work, place their fees so low as to be within the reach of all classes and' conditions Written Indelibly in the Record of Cores. ONE OF PORTLAND'S WELL-KNOWN BUSINESS MEN COMMENDS THE COPELAND TREATMENT M. H. R. Longr, proprietor of te American Laundry, residing at 280 East Sixth street north, Portland, said: "I do not hesitate to apeak of my ex perience and treatment with the Cope land physicians. I Am Slore Than Grateful, for I am now free of the distressing symptoms of a disease that annoyed me For 23 Years. "The cost of the treatment is hardly worth mentioning, and besides I have not lost an hour from my business. I tell yon these physician deserve 8reat credit for the good they are accomplishing: in this community. "At the time I began their treatment I had been suffering with catarrh for 28 years. My head was always stopped up, either one side or the other, and this, with dropping of mucus In my throat, and the cough it caused, made mo mis erable. "The worst of all was the way It -Lately Extended to My Ears and affected them. I feel sure had I not been relieved It would have 'destroyea my hearing. "I cannot attribute the long period over which the disease extended or the amount of suffering it caused me to any neglect on my own part, because I had trleo. different remedies and spent a great deal of money In trying to get rid of it, but all to no purpose, for, as I said above, tho disease gradually grew worse and ex tended to my ears. Of course, it annoyed me, and I felt discouraged and probably would not have tried again had It not been for the repeated urging of my friends, especially Mr. John Scott, my father-in-law, who had been success fully treated by tho Copeland physicians. No wonder the offices of the Copeland physicians are always crowded. "They well deserve their success." THE COPELAND MEDICAL THE W. H. COPELAND, M. D. J. H. MONTGOMERY, M. D, CHINESE AS COLONISTS. What They Have Done in the Phil ippines and the Baat Indies. In the middle of the 17th century one Keuseng, or Koxinga, a Chinese chief that had refused to surrender to the Tar tars, invaded Formosa at the head of an army of 100,000 men, attacking and driv ing out the Dutch. In 1C62 he opened cor respondence with the Chinese in Manila, and tho Spanish Governor, fearing treach ery, slaughtered 40,000 of them as a hint to the survivors that any more friendly doings with General Koxinga would moet with his displeasure. In the latter hall of the 1700s they were massacred by thousands In Papanga Province. But In spite of this Spanish method of dealing with tho Chinese question there wero 30,000 of tlhem in Manila at the beginning of the century, writes Frank M. Todd in Ainslee's Magazine. They constitute an Important part of the Philippine population today, often marrying native women and sending their sons to China to be educated. Kosario street, In Manila, Is given up to Chinese shops, and many of those who have no capital Invested are employed as clerks and compradoresby merchants of other races. The Chinaman pervades not only the Philippines but all the Islands of the seaB from Colombo eastward, wherevor trade promises profit. Mr. Bancroft says that tho first Europeans at Malacca, Ponang. Singapore, and all the Important Island porta of Eastern Asia and Oceanlca found Chinamen there before them. They havo generally clung to their places with all the tenacity that characterizes the grip their "cousins" have gained In this coun try. They are thick In the Spice Islands. The British say they are excellent citi zens in Borneo. They created Singapore. There were 20,000 of them out of a pop ulation of 111.000 in Batavia in 1S9-1. There are said' to be over 250,000 of them thriv ing under the tyrannical governments ot the Dutch East Indies, most of them with no apparent thought of going home ex cept for burial, contented because their practical business talents and ability to live without luxuries have made them dominant In trade. On their account the Australian gold diggings have had then race riots, and the Australian colonies their exclusive legislation in defiance ot the diplomacy of the London Government. Chinese merchants have Invaded Japan, where they compete successfully with thi European trader. All over the Eastern seas the "union" of Chinese compradores has held commerce In the hollow of its hand, and Its law has been the most ter rible that could be Invoked to punish or to ruin the "Western merchant that tried to do business without them.

London Children Tnnfrht to Strim. Newcastle (England) Chronicle. A few years ago It was rare to meet with a native of London who could swim, but this condition of things is rapidly changing. In connection with all board schools are swimming clubs, and onco a week, at least, Doth lads and lasses are taken to one of the adjacent swimming baths and taught the art of natation.

Under such condi tions It is plainly the skillful and faithful work of these spe cialists In tho flrgt place that causes their pronounced pros perity and success. Others may In some measure try to follow their linos, but " " : They 'Cannot Imitate The superior education, train ing an,d experience which haa given them their acknowledged mastery over the diseases In their specialties, and make it possible for them to carry their practice permanently and .suc cessfully at such rates. , You cannot advertise a man into .a specialist. Training, ex perience and skill must come first, and then your advertising will have the merit of genuine ness and truthfulness and will succeed. This is the secret oi. the whole matter. This i3 the secret of tho failure of so many. They are advertlsflrs first: specialists afterward. Tho order must be reversed; special ists first, qualified by a regular medical education, and by spe cial study, training and expe rience; then advertise. There is no other way to se cure permanence, public confi dence and success, and thosj who try any other way will fail. Poorly and partially trained men may by specious, un truthful advertising or repre sentations, and by charging large fees for a short tlmo de ceive the public and make money, but It la only a question of time when the offense Is discovered and universal contempt is their Teward. Genuine skill, genuine experience, perma nent location, skillful and successful treatment, low and uni form fees; this today Is the only pathway by which the spe cialist may obtain sucess and public confidence. HIS PHYSICIAN SENT HIM TO THE COPELAND INSTITUTE Mr. J. A. Huahey, of the Hnghey Shingle Company, Whatcom Wash., speaking' in commendation of the Cope land treatment, which has cured him of a chronic complicated disease of 15 years' standing, sold: "I am now Enjoying- Perfect Health for the first lime since an attack ot typhoid fever 15 years ago. That disease was followed by a catarrhal condition of the head and throat, with stopping up of the nostrils and formation of great crusts in the nose. Continual , Hawking: nnd Spitting kept my throat raw and sore, and my stomach became badly disordered. After forcing myself to eat, as usually I had no desire for food, I suffered for hours with bloating, sour stomach and eructa tions of gns and burning- fluids into tho throat I had acute earaches, followed b'y discharge from both ears, and my hearing grew very dull and indistinct. Cednr Asthma. "The dust about the shingle mill had an aggravating effect upon the disease, pro ducing that terrible bronchial trquble known as 'Cedar Asthma,' After strug gling through a day's work I would cough and choke all night long, and to get any rest I had to prop myself up with pillows. All these troubles were naturally "Wenrlnpf and "Weakening: to my system, and at last I was almost completely done up and scarcely able to attend to any business Itecosnitlon of Merit anil Skill. "After treating me for a time, my physician advised me to consult the Cope land Specialists, whom he recognized as authorities on all catarrhal disease, and who are prepared and equipped to han dle cases such as mine with perfect suc cess. I did so, and I am cured." INSTITUTE NO WIT IN GREAT SPEECHES Immortal "Words of Famous Mea Deal With the Serlonanena of Tilings. In an article on "Public Speaking,"" in the Saturday Evening Post, United States Senator Albert J. Beverldge says: "It Is a remarkable thing that there Is neither wit nor humor In any of the Im mortal speeches that have fallen from the lips of man. To find a Joke in Webster would be an offense. The only things which Ingersoll wrote that will live aro his oration at his brother's grave and hl3 famous "The Past Rises Before Mo Like a Dream." But in neither of these productions of this genius of Jesters Is thero a single trace of wit. There Is not a funny sally In all Burke's speeches. Lincoln's Gettysburg address, hl3 first and second Inaugurals, his speech beginning the Douglas campaign, and his Cooper Union address In New York are, perhaps, the only utterances of his that will en dure. Yet this greatest of story-tellers since Aesop did not adorn or deface one of these great deliverances with story or any form of humor. "The reason for this Is found In tho whole tendency of human thought and feeling In the whole melancholy hlstorv of the race where tears and grief, the hard seriousness of life and the terrible and speedy certainty of our common fate of suffering and of death make somber the master-cord of existence. The Im mortal things are all serious even sad;." the food supplies warmth and strength ; without it the digestion, the muscles, the nerves and the brain are weak, and general debility follows. But fat is hard to di gest and is disliked by many. supplies the fat in a form pleasant to take and easy to digest. It strengthens the nerves and muscles, invig orates mind and body, and builds up the entire system. 5e. aod Ji.oo.mlldrasrrijtj, SCOTT & UOWNK. ChimikuNeVrYbtJt, Hil 108.2
