The ‘jus Lansburgh Furniture and [HOW THE PUBLIC I IMPOSED UPO, BEWARE OF FRAUDS. For the Sake of Profit They Will Sacrifice Principle, Health, Etc. Unscrupulous dealers are trying to sell ordinary Glauber Salt or a mixture of Seidiitz Powder as “artificial Carlsbad Salt,"* ‘‘Sprudel Salt,"" “Ger- man Salt” or “Improved Carlsbad Salt,” and under other similar names. The Natural Remedies of Carisbad cannot be imitated. “What nature makes man cannot improve."* Artificial made wines will never replace the natural Juice of the grapes. Neither cam the aatural wa- ters of Carlsbad vor the Carlsbad Sprudel Salt be teplaced by the cheap substitutes offered to a guileless public for the sake of the larger profit made thereon, by these unscrupulous dealers. No ove would buy artifielal wines knowingly. Why buy the imitations of the Carlsbad products, when your health is at stake? ‘The Carlsbad Sprudel Waters are a specific for all diseases of the stomach, liver and kidneys, And have been used with great benefit by hundreds of thousands of people. ‘The Carlsbad Sprudel Salt, which is evaporated from the Spradel Water at Carlsbad, ts an excellent Apertent, Laxative and Diaretic; is an alterative and eliminative remedy, which dissolves tenacious bile, allays irritation, and removes obstruction by aiding mature, and not by sudden and excessive irritation, as most cathartics do. The summer months, when plenty of ont-door exercise can be had, are the most desirable for the “Carlsbad Cure." Use the imported Carlsbad Waters, or if it is not convenient to use the waters, or when & more decided laxative effect is desired, use the Carlsbad Sprudel Salt.

Schmelz and the Washing- ton nine stopped over at Baltimore on their way home from Brooklyn yesterday after- noon long enough to drop another game to Hanlon’s men, thereby giving that hustling team @ boest toward the Clevelands and first place. Although the game was a pic- nic for the Orioles, a number of brilliant catches of flies by the outfielders made it pretty. Pitcher Hawke occupied the box for Balti- more for the first time this season and Washington made but four hits off his de- livery. On the other hand the home club had no difficulty in tapping ex-Giant Petty for thirteen. Washington's tallies were scored in the sixth mning. Joyce made two bases on a hit that Brodie would ha’ captured had he not taken time to execu @ ground and lofty tumbling act because of the wet ground.

How the Clubs Stand. P.c. Ww. +800 New York... eeerael Base Ball Notes. Manager Hanlon announced last night that McMahon and Robinson are to be Baltimore's battery today.. Esper will probably pitch for the Senators. Manager Schmelz yesterday said he had no excuse to make for the club's losing ex- cept that the pitchers were being hit hard. Cincinnati and New York are now tied for sixth place. Jennings in the third made a stop of Cartwright's grounder that had it gotten away from him would have been good for a double. Tebeau robbed Keeler of a triple in the third inning by running up the incline in the centerfleld and grabbing the ball. Ward made a great deal of noise in yes- terday’s game until his glaring error in the ffth inning. After that he was strangely silent.—Bultimore Sun. Stocksdale, who was taken sick on Sunday while playing in New York, is rapidly re- covering. He was now staying with Deputy Sheriff Wm. P. Cole, at Towson, Md. By winning yesterday's game the Orioies regained second place, as Philadelphia w: beaten by Boston. The Phillies droppe from second to fourth, their defeat landing them below Pittsburg. By winning from Brooklyn, New York broke the tie between the two clubs, and the Giants are now es- tablished in sixth place, Brookiyn falling to eighth place, below Cincinnati. Washing- ton got a tighter grip upon the bottom rung jof the ladder. The Senators have the conso- | lation that they cannot drop off altogether. None of the western clubs played yesterda: The Boston directors have leased the Con- gress street grounds for oue month, and the Boston Club will play there until the first western trip is made. Work will begin at once on the old grounds. A grand stand of a less pretentious character than the one which was burned down will be erected. It will have but one story, as the patronage of the second story in the old stand was al- ways very small. The club went to Phila- delphia because a local society had secured the grounds for Saturday and its demands were not satisfactory to Managing Director Conant. The Philadelphia club made a liberal offer to have the club go there, and it was accepted. The fielding of the Senators at Baltimore yesterday was the best they have ever put up there. It was only their failure to hit Hawke's delivery which made such a dis- erepancy in the score. Tebeau’s brilliant catch of a fly with one hand after a hard run in the third inning yesterday elicited vociferous applause on all sides. At a meeting of the state league of base ball clubs at Harrisburg yesterday Edwin K. Meyers was deposed from the presi- dency and John J. Hanlon of Hazleton was ehosen to succeed him. Mr. Meyers then tendered the resignation of the Harrisburg club as a@ member of the league. An effort | Was made to depose H. H. Diddlebock of Philadelphia as secretary by the nomina- tion of Horace S. Fogel of Philadelphia for the office, but Diddlebock was unanimously re-elécted after seven balluts had been taken. The league decided to give the vis- iting club the privilege of taking 50 per cent of the gate receipts instead of 350 guarantee, as heretofore. This so incensed Mr. Whitman of Reading that he tendered his resignation as a member of the leé e. Mr. Hanlon afterwards resigned the p1 idency to which he had so recently been elected, and Mr. Meyers was unanimously re-elected. The league refused to accept Mr. Whitman's resignation, and he did not persist. Mr. Meyers also withdrew his res- ignation from the league. The league finally rescinded its action in changing the $50 guarantee to'a 50 per cent division of the receipts, and decided to leave the matter as it originally stood, and then adjourned, after having adjusted all their differences. . inning yesterday Amateur Base Bal}. The Diamond Room and the Mulligan Colts of the Boston House played a good game of ball yesterday, which was won by the former by a score of 9 to 7. ‘The feature POISONS IN AIR AND WATER. The Very Fact That They Are Unseen and Unsuspected Makes Them the More Dangerous. “Nearly everybody 1s in great danger just at this time." The speaker was one of the leading physicians in New York. “With the malaria in the air and the danger in the water,” he continued, “people need to exercise the greatest caution and care. The trouble with these things is that they come unawares and are often unsuspected. The germs of malaria are drawn in’ by every breath, the seeds of disease are spread by each swallow of water.” ‘The doctor looked thoughtful for a moment, and then continued, ‘There is but one way to prevent these dangers and that ts to be watebful. Instead of drinking iced water and other things all the while, and in place of permitting hot and foul air to spread malaria in the system, people should be Watchful and check these things on the start.’ There is but one way that this can be done, and that is by the use of some pure stimulant con- stantly or when the slightest feeling of sickness Sppears. The only preparation which has ever been known to certainly counteract these troubles in time, is that great, that popular whiskey, Duffy's Pure Malt. It bas been used by the public of America for over twenty years, and has proven its surpassing merits ouly by what it has ac- ished. complis if men and women would counteract the deadly germs in the water at this season of the year by mixing Duffy's Pure Malt with it, t I little fear of low fevers or malatia. borne in mind, however, that Pure Mait Whiskey that’ w that however much druggists or to the contrary, it alone can be BIrAR, ERIDAY, MAY 1 of the game was the playing of hina The Atlanta base ball team would Ake hear from clubs whose players are-neven- teen years and under.

BOSTON, Mass.,May 18.—An investigation Proves that the big fire of Tuesday at the south end was due to the carelessness of spectator on the “bleachers,""who thought- lessly dropped a blazing match into some shavings under the seats after lighting a cigar. Jimmy Laskey, the boy who told Director Billings during the fire that he saw @ man drop a match into the shavings, was found last night by the police. Jimmy, who is about fourteen years of age, gained admission to the grounds by crawling through the fence and was lying under the seats when he saw the match dropped by a man who sat just over him. Some brilliant play attracted the boy's attention just ‘then and he did not notice the fire until he felt the heat. He then alarmed a policeman, but the blaze spread so rapidly it could rot be handled with the facilities at aand. GAUDAUR THE WINNER, The Ontario Oarsman Lowers the for Three Miles. The international regatta at Austin, Texas, yesterday witnessed its third day of unprecedented success by the introduc- tion of the grand final three-mile heat with turn, single scull, for purses aggregating $2,100. The entries were J. G. Gaudaur of Ontario, Henry Peterson of San Francisco, E. Durnan of Toronto, John Teemer of St. Louis, George Hosmer of Boston and Ed Rogers of Saratoga. When the signal was given the start was well made. Ed Durnan led on the jump. Gaudaur stuck his oars in the water deep and fairly flew up the course with Peterson close behind. They soon passed Durnan and closed around the mile and a half stake almost together. Gaudaur, realizing that the silent oarsman from the Pacific slope was pushing him hard, then knuckled down to his work with a vengeance, sweep- ing in home only a short distance in the lead, breaking his former world’s record by 3 3-4 seconds, making the time of 19.01 1-2, Gau- daur acknowledged that Peterson pvshed him harder than he was ever pushed before in his life.

Williamson and Walter S. A woman's hat, a small skeleton affair, in which there is a white plume, played an important part in a case tried in the ‘Police Court this morning. A young man named Carter Donnelly, but who {s also known as Raymond Donnelly, was defendant-in the case. He had no hat, and showed a tired feeling, the result of being locked up over night. being a suspicious person, plead not guilty. Policeman Markwood and several citizens appeared as witnesses against him. Donnelly is collector for a book firm, and in court this morning he gave his home 1006 20th street, and then said his wife lived at 1707 Corcoran street. He was arrested last night about 10 o clock in the cut through which the Soldiers’ Home elec- tric cars pass, just north of Florida avenue, adjoining the old Germania Pa>k property. Policeman Markwood’s home is on the west side of the cut, on the high bank, and sev- eral friends were seated on the porch in front of his house about 10 o'clock, when they heard a woman screaming. The sound came from the direction of the old park property, and the men thought the screams indicated that some one was choking a woman. They left the front of the house and started to cross the cut, and ran to the woman's assistance, when Donnelly came over the bank and rolled down to the car tracks, which are nearly fifteen feet from the top of the bank. He was very much excited when the men met him, and he willingly told them that the woman ran the other way. Near where he was found the men picked up the woman's hat, and the prisoner said he dropped it, and he supposed the woman had taken his. Later, after thinking the matter over, he denied that he was with a woman, or that he had her hat. “I had been out in the country making collections,” he said, “and was on my way home, when I heard the scream. I became frightened and ran, and then it was that I lost my hat.” Policeman Parham, when the ca: was tried, recognized the prisoner as having lived on 20th street, and said he was fined $15 some weeks ago on @ charge of profanity. Judge Kimball said that the proof sug- gested a more serious offense, and he thought an Investigation should be made by the detectives. For this purpose the judge continued the case until next week. —__ Mt. Pleasant Drum Cor, Lawe Party The Mt.

These organizations, long the pets of the student body, have been features of nearly every college entertainment for the past three ears. Mr. P. J. O'Gorman, the leader of the college choir, has taken general charge of the musical portions of the concert, while W. 8. Martin of the class of '96 has in charge the business management. Mr. O'Gorman has also taken direct charge of the Glee Club, which numbers twenty-three members, including several from the law school. The Banjo Club, under the direction of Mr. John Fogarty, numbers some thir- teen members, of whom four are first ban- jos, three second and six guitars. The Mandolin Club will make its debut on this occasion. A. V. Holmes, who is teacher of banjo and guitar at the college, has it in charge. It is composed of three first and two second mandolins, three gui- tars, a flute, violin and ‘cello. Not only have the law and medical stu- dents of the university determined to attend in a body, but the friends and supporters of the college and the public generally have given great encouragement to the project. —_—-> -_— W.
