JUDGE NELSON'S
DECISION.
Speaking of patent medicines, the
Judge Bays : "I wish to deal fairly and
honorably with all, and when I find an
article that will do what it is recom
mended to do, I am not ashamed to say
so. I am acquainted with Dr. Vander
pool (having been treated by him for
cancer), and have used his blood medi
cine, known as the S. B. Headache and
Liver Cure, and while I am 75 years old,
and have used many pills and other
remedies for the blood, liver and kid
neys, I must say that for a kidney tonic
in B rights disease, and as an alterative
for the blood, or to correct the action of
the stomach and bowels, it is a very su
perior remedy, and beats anything I
ever tried. J. B. Nelson,

See The Fate of Justice In The
Rulings.
New Yobk, Oct. 18. Attorney-General
John B. Stockton, of New Jersey,
struck a hard blow yesterday at the
Reading coal combination. With Judge
Fredrick W. Stevens, who has been as
sociated with him in the case on behalf
of the state, he appeared in the chan
cellor's chambers in . Jersey City and
asked that a receiver be appointed to
take charge of the New Jersey Central
railroad and the Easton and Amboy
railroad, and to enforce Chancellor Mc
Gill's injunction against all the railroads
in the coal combination in New Jersey;
The two informations were filed. The
chancellor granted without hesitation
the prayers in both, and made the writs
returnable October 27th. The prompt
ness with which the prayers were granted
is to lawyers familiar with coa.'t pro
ceedure an almost positive indication
that a receiver be appointed, particular
ly as the attorney general has filed with
his papeis a mass of evidence showing
that the temporary and permanent
6rders of the coart forbidding increases
in the price of coal have been ignored
and violated. . JNow the. chancellor is
asked to enforce his own order by ap
pointing a re eiver for the coal roads in
New Jersey, and the lawyers say he can
not fail to do this. When this act-on
shall have been taken, no Reading coal
can pass through the state of New Jersey
until prices are reduced.

What King Charles Threw Away.
New - York World. Though a king
can do no wrong, he may occasionally
make a bad bargain. When Charles I
ruled over England, his exchequer al
ways at low ebb, became so nearly
empty that be disposed of his thirty-six
shares in the New River company, in
consideration! an annual payment of
500, to be made to himself and his
heirs, as long as the company should
exist. This 500 a year is still paid into
the royal treasury, but each individual
share of the stock now earns 2,600 a
year, an increase of unearned increment
beside which Chemical bank stock is no
where. In other words, the unlucky
king sold for $2,500 a year property that
now realizes $463,000 in annual profits.

Troossods of skilled workmen in almost'
aU trades are now idle through no fault

bodie3 of men. Working forces have
been cut down gradually, and the pro
cess is still going on. The docks are
balf de3er.ved. The labor bureau of the
board of trade makes gloomy .reports of
the situation. The army of unemployed
is so large that no cab bearing baggage
drives through the streets of London
without being followed by some poor
fellow seeking a few coins for food and
drink. The coroners investigated sever
al cases of actual death by starvation
last month.
