MAYOR TO CONTROL The Proposed Reorganization of Chicago’s Government. BILIS IN THE ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE Power of Removal Vested in the City’s Chief Executive. RIGHT OF ABSOLUTE VETO —__s__—_—- SPRINGFIELD, Il, February 19.— There will be introduced simultaneously in the house and senate today a measure that if passed will completely reorganize the city government of Chicago. It was prepered by the legislative committee of the Civic Federation. By its provisions the city will be almost in absolute control of the mayor. Instead of the departments as now exist, the mayor will have a cabinet similar to that of the President of the United States, to be known as the board of control. It does away with the election of the city treas- urer and provides for the election of one alderman from each ward for a term of two years and twelve aldermen at large for a term of four years, the latter to be on the minority representation plan. ‘The beard of control will consist of the ccntroller, to be at the head of the department of finance; the commissioner of public works, to be at the head of the department of public works; thd treasurer, to be at the head of the department of public funds and disbursements; the com- missioner of public safety, to be in charge of the police, fire and health departments, and the corporation counsel, who will have all the legal business of the city. ‘The office of city attorney is abolished. The salary of the mayor Is to be $10,000 and of heads of departments, $8,000 a year. The salaries of aldermen are to be $2,400 a year, and they will not be allowed to hold any other office. The mayor is to have power to remove any of his cabinet at any time and Is given absolute veto power. The board of control shall say in what banks the city’s money shall be deposited and such banks must give bonds. All tranchises must be passed upon by the board of control and then sold to the highest bidder at public auction. a JERSEY CENTRAL WRECK. A Fast Express Runs Into an Open Switch. PHILLIPSBURG, N. J., February 19.— The fast express to New York on the New Jersey Central railroad ran into an open switch near this place late last night and was badly wrecked. The train was run- ning at full speed. The engine dashed into a turn-table siding, on which stcod four other engines and a caboose. The force of the collision was so great as: to telescope the combination car, which was next to the locomotive, and also wrecked the four en- Ww Creveling of Allentown, a fireman on the express, was pinned beneath his en- ine and badly injured. Two other fire- | men—Abram Cole and Edward Purcell— were also considerably bruised. Charles Davis, an engineer of the express, escaped by jumping. The passengers were severely pie up, but escaped without serious in- juries. >. ELECTRIC LIGHT MEN. Tenth Annual Convention of the As- sociation at Cleveland. CLEVELAND, Chio, February 19.—The tenth annual convention of the National Electric Light Association was called to order at the Army and Navy Hall today with about 500 delegates in attendance. Special trains from New York and Chicago arrived early this morning bearing large delegations from those cities. Many noted electricians are present. Mayor Blee and James Hoyt made brief addresses of welcome at the opening of the convention, Charles F. Brush of this city was then introduced and delivered an extempora- neous address on “Some Early Reminis- cences of Are Lighting.” President Francisco followed with his an- nual address, and Mr. Nelson W.Perry read a paper on “The Storage of Energy Es- sential to Central Station Economy—How it May Be Accomplished and the Econom- ics Resulting.” ——~—.

TORONTO, Ont., February 19.—The threat of the students attending the To- ronto University that if Professor Dale was not reinstated and investigation be made into the management all lectures would be boycotted was no idle one.

VY YORK, February 19.—A _ brutai murder was committed in a rear tenement at 55 Baxte treet, just in the center ot the lowest portion of the city, today, and Vencenzo Nino, a barber, cut his wite’s throat from ear to eer in the presence of - two children.

A Former Washington Correspondent Again in the Tolls. SAN FRANCISCO, February 19.—The Examiner says concerning the arrest of Frank H. Trusdell in Emporia, Kan., for attempting to swindle banks by means of forged checks: “That Trusdell would have been caught In such a crime will not surprise those who knew him best. He had a weakness for uttering fraudulent and worthless paper and had several narrow escapes from being sent to jail while here. Some of his trans- actions that came to light, and most of them were never heard of, show that he was skillful and audacious, combining a splendid nerve with a plausible address and a pleasing appearance. Though in receipt of a fair income most of the time he seem- ed to be in a chronic state of bankruptcy and hardupness. He was then on the staff of the Chronicle, and the ever-accommo- dating Richard H. McDonald, jr., then in the flower of his management of the Pacific Bank, advanced him $250 on his personal note. He arrived here nearly four years ago, coming from Elmira, N. Y., where he had been connected with the Sunday Telegram. “He brought letters from Mr.J. Sloat Fas- sett which served as a passport in certain quarters here. When ex-Senator Fassett came out the following season he took Trusdell under his wing and spoke of him in the highest terms. This strengthened his position. “The first-crooked transaction brought against him here came from San Jose, where he had issued a valueless check and received $60 on it. He was threatened with prosecution for this offense, but succeeded in supplying the money, saving himself, thanks to his friends, who believed that the whole thing was a mere error and that no crime was intended. “He forged the name of William H. Milis, land agent of the Southern Pacific com- pany, to a promissory note for $100, having met Mills on an editorial excursion. “Trusdell’s pathetic story of his needs and his repentance secured him immunity from prosecution. He also passed a worthless check for $150 on a wholesale liquor house.” Frank H. years ago, the Baltimore American. under a cloud. Trusdell was, a number of Washington correspondent of He left this city He comes of a New Jersey family, and was born in Janesville, Wis. where his father lived for a few years. Frank Trus- dell has not lived in Wisconsin since he was an infant, but he has several times imposed on Wisconsin people, who thought he was a son of John M. Trusdell, a dis- tinguished lawyer and politician of that state. Trusdell first made himself known while a reporter on the New York ‘Iribune by stealing from Thorndike Rice the proof sheets of an article which Gen. Grant had written for the North American Review. This article he sold before its appearance in the Review. In 1886 Trusdell forged Senator Van Wyck's name on paper which realized him $900, and swindled several men in Washington who had _ befriended him. ‘To escape punishment he went to Europe, deserting his family. Three years later he returned and was arrested for stealing a horse in Elmira, N. Y. He had then secured a lucrative position and prom- ised to reform. Since his release from jail after that affair his whereabouts were un- known until the above dispatch came to tell of another criminal episode in ris career. He was a bright, affable, capable newspaper man, and his ruin is due to gambling and women. He was at one time fairly well off, owned a good house in the fashionable part of I street and had a good income. ——— “LEE’S DAY” SUGGESTED. An Amendatory Proposition to That of coln’s Day.” RICHMOND, Va., February 19.—The Richmond State says this afternoon edi- torially: “The suggestion is being made in some northern papers that the birthday of Abra- ham Lincoln be made a national holiday. The suggestion is in the way of a tribute to an American who was made famous by the great civil war. The best qualities were given prominence by that tremendous con- flict. “When Congress takes up this bill, how- ever, it will be in order for some southern Congressman to amend by inserting after the name of Abraham Lincoln the name of Robert E. Lee. “What 1s the object of holding national holidays on the anniversaries of the birth of great men? Such are meant not only as tributes to the illustrious dead, but as les- sons to coming generations, who can be benefited by their examples. The life of Lee affords such an example as well as the life of Lincoln. Furthermore, the making of a national holiday must be the work not of the people of one section, but of the entire country. 1t must be the voice of the people of this time and-not the voice of the people of our civil war time. If Illinois and what was called the north ask that Lincoln’s day be a national day, then Vir- ginia and what was known as the south ask that Lee’s day be a national day. If the north also is to unite with that section in doing national tribute to Lincoln, then the south can, with equal propriety, ask a like tribute to its Lee. The Haverhill Strike. HAVERHILL, Mass., February 19.>The employes of the union factories held a crowded mass meeting last night. It was voted unanimously to keep up the strike six weeks longer and to levy an assess- ment of 20 per cent on the, weekly earnings of each person. A concert given at the Academy of Music in aid of. the strikers’ fund was attended by an audience of $00 people. —_——__—_ Poet Frechette Entertained. PAWTUCKET, R.

THE OPENING SESSION The fourth continental congress of the National Society .of the Daughters of the American Revolution held its first session in the Church of Our Father this morning. ‘The session opened promptly at 10 o'clock. The church was simply but prettily deco- rated with flags, festooned from the galler- jes and caught with shields. Hanging from the organ loft was a drapery of red and yellow. The president’s stand had a flag twisted about it, and resting on the top was a small fac simile off the bell that the Daughters of the American Revolution car- ried to the world’s fair. There were no flowers. { The various delegations are seated by states, with cards bearing the names. The national officers occupy front seats. All the state regents are on the national board of management ex-officio. Owing to the recent death of her daugh- ter, Mrs. Letitia Green Stevenson, presi- dent general of the order, could not be present. All the other officers were pres- ent and answered to their names as fol- lows: Vice president, in charge of organization, Mrs. Augusta D. Geer; recording secretary general, Mrs. Agres Martin Burnett; cor- responding secretary general, Miss Mary Desha, registrars general, Miss Fedora I. Wilbur, Mrs. Mary Lee Mann, Miss Anna S. Mallett, Mrs. Roberdeau Buchanan; treasurer general, Mrs. Miranda Tulloch historian general, Mrs. Lucia E. Blount surgeon general, Dr. Anita Newcomb Mc: Gee; chaplain general, Mrs. E. T. Bullock. The ushers are daughters of the Daugh- ters, as follows: Miss Richards, Miss Ball, Miss Halsted, Miss Johnson, Miss New- comb, Miss Carhart, Miss Smith, Miss Bal- linger, Miss Moore, Miss Pike, Miss Smith, Miss Berry, Miss Shute, Miss Cowles, Miss Bates. The recording secretary of the Daughters rapped for order, and announced at once that the first thing in order was the nom- ination of 4 presiding officer. A Preliminary Flarry. Mrs. Lockwood was nominated and the secretary put her name before the con- vention, called“for the yote and announced that Mrs. Lockwood was elected. It was done so quickly that there was a calm like that before a storm Then the storm broke. There was a flutter, a buzz, a burst! A growl of protest from all parts of the house, not because of dislike of the nom- inee, but because of the summary manner in which she “got there.” Mrs. Donald McLean, state regent of New York, ob- jected, and inquired if the presiding officer was to be elected to serve for the whole session. Half a dozen others asked the same question, and a dozen others put as many of the delegates in nomination for the Joffice. Of cotrse, !: was all mani- festly out of order, but the secretary was not able to stem the: tide. Finally Mrs. Augusta D. Geer, vicé president general in charge of organization, announced that it was the desire Of thd ident general, Mrs. Letitia Green Stevenson, that Mrs. Dickins, vice president general for the city of Washington, occupy the chair. As the president general had no legal right to select her succesfor the order sat upon that proposition at/once. From the hum of voices it was finally evolved that the Daughters wanted to, pass the honors around and would elect each morning. Mrs. Mary S. Lockwood’s name was again pre- sented, though her election of ten minutes before had not been reconsidered, and she was elected again, and came to the chair in the midst of a round of applause. She picked up the gavel and brought it down on the table with a vim that means ill for the varnish if she continues along that line. Mrs. Lockwood announced as she brought order out of chaos that for fear they didn’t understand the matter she would hold the gavel just one day. The chaplain general, Mrs. E. T. Bullock, offered prayer, at the end of which the daughters joined in repeating the Lord's Prayer. The Choral Soc-ety then sang he Star-Spangled Banner,” the chorus being swelled by the daughters joining in. Miss Edna Doe and Mr. Stevens alternated in singing the verses in soprano and bass solos, with fine effect. The State Delegations. Immediately after the: opening exercises the tedious process of, calling the roll of delegates and distributing the badges be- gan. The roll was called by states, all but four being represented. Nevada, North Dakota, Idaho and Utah are without rep- resentation, but state regents have been selected in Utah and North Dakota, and are only awaiting their papers. The colors of the order are red, white and blue. State regents and national officers wear the three colors combined; honorary and ex- officers wear white; state regents, red; delegates, red and white; members of the society, blue; ushers, blue and white. When the name of Connecticut was called the state regent, Mrs. DeB. Ran- dolph Keim, arose, and with her her full delegation of forty-three. They were met with a round of applause, as being the largest delegation present, not a-delegate missing. The Connecticut delegation is as follows: Mrs. Ann B. Rogers, Mrs. Sperry, Mrs. Kinney, Mrs. Baldwin, Mrs. Alice M. Stan- ley, Miss Birwell, Mrs. Stilman, Mrs. F. B. Warren, Mrs.Florence E. D. Muzzy, Mrs. E. E. Noel, Mrs. Clara Lee Bowman, Mrs. Charles Grass, Mrs. Caroline D. Bissell, Mrs. Kellogg, Mrs. Plume, Miss Falcotte, Mrs. Hill, Mrs. Clarke, Mrs. Coffin, Mrs. Devan. New York, Mrs. Roger A. Pryor, regent, has a very large delegation present, and they were greeted with vociferous applause when they arose. The New York members are as follow: s. Roger A. Pryor, Mrs. J. H. Crosman, Mrs. McClain, Mrs. J. T. Douglass, Mrs. J. Ledner,Mrs.S. Hamilton, Mrs. J. S. Wise, Miss Rankin, Mrs. Atwater, Mrs. Forsyth, Miss Vanderpool, Mrs. Kate Deury, Mrs. ‘A. Lee, Mrs. Ballinger, Mrs. Lipscombe. Pennsylvania, regent, Mrs. Hogg, has, also, a full delegation, numbering twenty- six. Mrs. Hogg was greeted with every manifestation of delight. The Virginia delegation is also full. The delegates are Mrs. Cocke, Mrs. Penn, Mrs. sillam, Mrs. Pursell, Mrs. Elizabeth White Hanna, Mrs. Axtell. -After the delegates had reported the an- nual address of the president general was presented by Mrs. Kerfoot, state regent of Illinois. It was received with continuous applause. Mrs. Stevenson's Address. Stevenson's, address, in part, was as follows: “Ladies of the fourth conti- nental congr ‘patriotism,’ says Bishop Ireland, ‘is love of country and loyalty to its life and weal. “Love, tender and strong —tender as the love of son for mother, strong as the pillars of death, loyalty, gen- uine and disinterested, shrinking from no sacrifice, seeking no reward save the coun- try's honor and the country’s triumph.’ 1f such is patriotism, no wonder then that little more than four years ago the heart of Amcrican women was stirred to its tenderest depths by that tidal wave of patriotic emotion’ which swept from the tward to the: limits of the eastern It was from the sons of revolution- © had cast their lot upon the that the first inspiration The no less loyal sons of the At- Mr: came. lantic seaboard were quick to respond, and state organizations as well as local chap- ters of Sons of the American Revolution were soon started. “The daughters of these same valiant fathers rapped log and loud at the door of their brothers for admittance into the charmed and sacred portal. Sometimes it seemed as if their plea for recognition would be answered, but in the end the deor was firmly clesed and the latchstring withdrawn. This only added fuel to the fire. Women chatted at the fireside, around the festive board, planning and undoing in a thoroughly womanly way all suggestions looking to a solution of this absorbing topic. The neglected and ofttimes uncer- tain graves of horored and unforgotten heroes called with a voice that would not down for reclaimed and moldering walls, crumMing buildings and discarded heir- loon _,oined in the loud chorus. “ ‘Hannah Arnett’s Faith,’ a review of @ little revolutionary story, was written by Mrs. Mary S. Lockwood, now the editor of the American Monthly Magazine, the official organ of the Daughters of the American Revolution. It was read with quiet, but thoughtful interest. The result was a very firm adjustment of the feminine thinking cap, which has not been removed. “This article attracted the attention of Col. William D. McDonald, who is the great-great-great grandson of Mrs. Arnett, He, with the earnest co-operation of Mr. Washington Ball, rendered possible the organization of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution. “Behold today, it 4s not only my duty, but proud privilege to welcome to the capital of the United States the fourth continental congress of the National So- ciety of the Daughters of the American Revolution, representing through its 300 delegates forty-five states, and more than 8,000 members. The increase over last year has been nearly 4,000." Mrs. Stevenson then gave the following figures concerning the financial condition of the organization: Received during the year, $18,974.42; transferred to permanent fund, $1,212.14; amount on hand, $7,498.54. Suggestions to the Congress. Some suggestions were then made for the consideration of the congress. “Your board, ’to whom at the last con- gress, you submitted large trusts, is often much embarrassed as to the correct inter- pretation of some of the articles of the constitution and by-laws. Especially is this so in regard to the laws that govern the office cf treasurer general, at once the most trying as well as the most responsible position on the board. It may be well for the congress to simplify and make more definite its will in regard to these matters, which have been the cause of much dis- cord in every board.” Mrs. Stevenson also suggests that each state appoint a state treasurer, to whom all the finances of the state shall go to the treasurer general. ‘Also that it will be well for the national board of this congress to decide how far and for what length of time, if at all, cne officer on the board can transfer to an- other the legal powers vested in her by the ccntinental congress. She suggests that the by-laws are vague as to the provision for presiding officer when the president gen- eral is unable to be present and that they be revised. Not a Training School. Mrs. Stevenson, having in mind the par- lNamentary muddles of the last congress, makes the following wise suggestion: “The national board of management should not be a training school. The interests sub- mitted to it are of such serious and far- reaching importance as to demand ordi- nary knowledge of parliamentary rulings and some previous preparation in conduct- ing such meetings. From the experience of the past year it is my unqualified opinion that the board should be presided over by some one of your own selection, authorized by this congress to preside, whose duty it shall be to study with unfailing attention the interests of the whole society, north, south, east and west, acquaint herself with the recognized rules which govern such bodies, and who can have no object other than the elevation and promotion of the national organization.” She is also of the opinion that the first vice president general should be one wholly in accord with the president general, and with whom she may cordially confer. She quite earnestly advocates the need of a me- morial building in the city of Washington for the use of the Daughters of the Ameri- can Revolution, the necessity for ‘such a building having been forcibly presented by the first president general of the order, Mrs. Caroline Harrison. She speaks most Kindly of the hard work done by the offi- cers of the board, their work having been laboricus. Mrs. Stevenson believes in edu- cating the youth of the country in patriot- ism. “We know how day by day and year by year,” ‘she says, “the youth of this country is molded in its religious, political and civil convictions by the views and stand taken in the home upon these subjects. Is it unreasonable to suppose that the sons and daughters that gather daily around your board are unconscious, are unim- pressed by your pronounced views as -to the love of country and reverence for its traditions?) By your example and words fitly spoken you are rearing a race of patriots, who will claim this fair land for their own, and in no uncertain tones state, ‘We are Americans.” Mrs. Charles Sweet Johnson offered reso- lutions of respect, sympathy and apprecia- tion of the valuable services rendered the society by Mrs. Stevenson, to which Mrs. Donald McLean of New York added other resolutions of sympathy. An interesting response to Mrs. Steven- son’s address was made by Lathrop-Mar- garet Sidney, state regent of Massachu- setts. Last Evening’s Reception. The Daughters of the American Revolu- tion held a crowded reception in the par- lors of Willard’s last night. They filled the parlors, packed the long corridors and even sat on the stair steps. They were a notable looking crowd of women, whose revolutionary ancestors would feel honor- ed in acknowledging them, Many handsome gowns were worn, some of them of colonial patterns and style. Jewels flashed from white throats and circled medallions over patriotic hearts, that in the long ago spark- led in the eyes of revolutionary heroes. In the absence of Mrs. Stevenson, pres- ident general, Mrs. Augusta D. Geer, the second officer of the society, received the ladies as they entered the room. Dr. Anita McGee performing in a most graceful manner the offices of “introducer.” The otter members of the receiving party were Mrs. Harry Heth, Mrs. Miranda Tul- lock, Miss Pike, Mrs. Agnes Burnett, Miss Anna S. Mallett, Mrs. Augusta D. Geer and Mrs. Kate Kearney, Henry. Continental Chapter’s Reception. Despite the half dozen other “fraternal” receptions going on last night, the Conti- nental Chapter, D. A. R., held a most charming reception at the Oxford, which was attended by a large number of the visiting members of the order. ‘The musi- cal program was presented by Mr. Wood- cot and Mr. O'Connor, who had to respond to an encore; a violin number by Miss Woolcot and a song by Miss Margaret Blaine. The historical papers of the even- ing were by Mrs. Moore and Mr. Hanford. Mrs. Moore gave a bit of interesting un- written history of North Carolina and Mr. Hanford’s was a graphic description of Gen. Burgoyne in the revolution, The pres- ident of the chapter, Mrs. Madison Bal- linger, made the statement that she had looked into the matter of having the tomb of Martha Washington appropriately in- scribed, but was disappointed to find that Washington’s will made it impossible to accomplis# it, so the chapter would aban- don its purpose. DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. Wants His Money Refanded. Frank H. Clark, general superintendent of the United States Electrie Lighting Company, writes to the Commissioners to- day calling attention to a recent communi- cation of his, requesting that money de- posited with the collector of taxes as per- mit fees for sixteen poles to be erected on Florida, Phelps, Wyoming and California avenues, be refunded, the permit having been revoked. Wonts the Pump to Stay. F. H. Hill, pastor Metropolitan, Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, in a letter to the Commissioners today requests that the or- der for the removal of the public pump corner 3d and D streets southwest be re- scinded. He says that since the order for its removal was issued he has had numer- ous calls from the residents in that neigh- borhood imploring him to call upon the Ccmmissioners and request that they re- scind the order. The matter has been re- ferred to the engineer department. Adverse Action. The Commissioners have recommended adverse action on Senate bill 2747, “defin- ing the qualifications of chief inspector and deputy inspectors of plumbing in the Dis- trict of Columbia,” which was referred to them for their views thereon. To Appraise Damages. The Commissioners have made applica- tion to the United States marshal for a jury of twelve citizens to ascertain and appraise the damages which may accrue to any person or persons by the opening of a street and the closing of certain alleys in square 69.

There was a long meeting of the Senate District committee held late yesterday af- ternoon, which was attended by all of the members except Senator Gibson. Senator Smith, whose absence on Friday caused the tie vote whereby the proposition to re- port favorably the District of Columbia Street railroad bill was lost, was present for the first time this session. The suburban bill, which caused so much de- bate at the meeting on Friday and such a lively discussion on the floor the same day, was first taken up for consideration. There were several arguments for and against the measure, and finally a compro- mise was agreed upon, subject to the con- sent of certain other companies. Senator McMillan was instructed to report the Dill favorably, with the amendments that were suggested in the line of the compromise as soon as the conditions were fulfilled. The New Plan. The plan is for the road to cross the city limits at 15th street northeast, and then proceeding northward intersect the tracks of the Columbia, Eckington and Metro- politan lines. It was conceded that there are now enough east and west lines estab- lished east of the Capitol, and with a proper system of transfers the suburban road could do a better business and be of mere benefit to the citizens by such a route than by a main urban Hne of its own, There is some question, of course, as to the ability of the company to make ar- rangements for a transfer system with the three other lines, and pending such an ar- rangement the bill will be held by Senator McMillan, pursuant to the directions cf the committee. The Dollar Gas Bi The dollar gas bill was discussed for an hceur or two in connection with the bill chartering the National Gas Company, but no action was taken, and the bills were laid over until the Friday meeting of the committee. ‘Fo Promote Anatomical Science. Senator Gallinger was instructed to make a favorable report upon H. R. 4693, a bill for the promotion of anatomical science in the District. This bill provides for fur- nishing the bodies of unidentified paupers who die within the District to the regular medical schools, and for punishing grave robbery. Its details have frequently been noted in The Star. The bill was passed by the Senate today.. Capital Railway Co. Senator Faulkner was directed to make a favorable report upon the bill (H. R. 8714) granting a charter to the Capital Railway Compary, when the subcommittee in charge shall have agreed upon the amendments to be made. The Metropolitan Railway. The Senate today, on motion of Mr. Faulkner, concurred in the amendment of the House to the bill amending the charter of the Metropolitan Railway Company. This amendment provides for the establish- ment of a system of transfers between the Metropolitan road and the Brightwood and Rock creek lines. The bill will now go to the President. —_—____-e-____—___ THE COURTS. Equity Court No. 1.—Judge Cox. Collins agt. Collins; appearance of ab- sent defendants ordered. Coleman agt.

The Senate and House conferees on the bill extending the time for making income tax returns have reached an agreement on the amendments made to the bill in the Senate. fhe first of the amendments was accepted by the House, with a modification making it read as follows: “In computing incomes under said act the amounts neces- sarily paid for fire insurance premiums and for ordinary repairs shall be deducted.” ‘The second amendment providing against double payment on amounts received as dividends' of corporations and exempting such dividends even in caseswhere the tax may not have been paid by the corporation was agreed to with some verbal amend- ments. The Senate conferces receded from the third amendment exempting taxpayers from erswering any inquiries not specifically provided for in the act, and it was stricken out. Senators Vest, White and Allison rep- resented the Senate conference and Repre- scrtatives McMillin, Montgomery and Hop- kins the House. . Castoria For Infants and Children. CASTORIA DESTROYS WORMS.
