PHILO ~ WAR 60 Expiration of Sheldon Syndicate Opens Up a New Phaze of the . Situation and Hot Fight for Bonds Expected, ' istatements from opposing counsels tn- “The counsel for the syndicate an- hotinces that the bonds which have been @eposited with the syndicate, known as hthe “Sheldon syndicate,” were all de- posited with the Sheldon reorganiza- tion committee as consenting to the plan of reorganization, and the Sheldon jByndicate will simply distribute to-day @he certificates of deposit. (» Bonds Were Deposited. | William Nelson Cromwell, counsel for “the Sheldon syndicate, which expires by Imitation to-day, states that publica- fons to the effect that the United Btates Shipbuilding bonds covered by the syndicate will to-day be subject to awithdrawal from the Reorganization ee eites are erroneous. ¥ Pursuant to the powers of the syndi- cate managers and to the desire of its members, all of these bonds were-duly ‘eposited under the reorganization plan ‘and certificates of deposit were issued therefor precisely the same in re ‘epect of any other deposit. Fish Leads in Fight. The fighting holders who oppose Mr. <Cromwell’s-plan are headed by Stuy- ivesant Fish, president of the Ilinols Central Railroad. Mr. Fish and other members of the original Sheldon syndicate, who own ‘about $4,000,000 of the stock and bonds Hdeposited with that committee, are jready to fight to have their bonds and _fatocks ‘réturned. *' 'Theso members have notified Mr. ‘Cromwell that they want their bonds jand stocks returned to them.

Snow ploughs on the surface roads ran all night, and when the army of workers started downtown to-day theye again had cause to say evil things of the “near-side’ stopping ordinance, which forced them to wade through thirty feet or more of pliled-up snow before they could board the cars. Men, women, children and horses slipped and scrambled through the piled-tp masses of snow which cov- ered the coat of ice with which the streets and sidewalks were glazed yes- terday. In many of the side streets great piles of snow and ice still re- mained from the last snow storm, and trafic on many of these thoroughfares was almost impoasible. ‘The weather man promised that the tall’ of snow would continue through the day, but that by to-night the Btreet-Cleaning Department could start men and carts to work—if the Com- inissioner saw fit.

Hay, fifty-five years old, and %: Ws, Josephine, worty-tive} years, wer found dead in bed to-day in the home of Mrs. Sadie Murphy, No. 19 East One Hundred and Thirteenth | street. They arrived in New York on the Cedric last Wednesday from Scot- land on a visit to their sister. The Hays did not understand the use of gas and on account of that ignorance they forfeited their lives. Their sister | hired the room for them on Wednesday, but they did not take possession of it until i o'clock yesterday, All their trunks were sent there from the steam- er. They worked yesterday afternoon unpacking their clothes, When last seen they were arranging their baggage Mrs, Hay told Mrs, Murphy that sho kaew nothing about the uso of gas and asked her fo: a lamp Mrs. Murphy did not have a lamp and explained how to} light the gas und turn it off. ‘The Hays | thought hey knew.

OW can we measure the importance to mankind of the discovery of an absolute cure for catarrh, that dreaded malady which attacks the mucous membrane or delicate underlining of the skin of the body. The disease which for years has discouraged scientists—the disease which numbers 12,000,000 men and women sufferers in the United States alone. The heads of great hospitals, where scores of ca- tarrhal patients are treated each year, are perhaps in the best position to appreciate the value of a remedy, which working along scientific, intelligent lines, brings perma- nent cure to even the chronic sufferer. ~ The staff of physicians of the Suffolk Hospital and Dispensary in Boston, where in less than two years 83,271 patients have registered, do not hesitate to pro- nounce Rexall Mucu-Tone the best cure for catarrh they have ever used. Albert C. Smith is the president and treasurer and the Hon. Chas. J. Noyes and the Hon. James Stevens are vice-presidents. The secretary is FH. Wallace, M. D., and the superintendent is W. C. Clarke, M. D. President Smith’s letter should be read by. every catarrh sufferer. We print it in full: “It gives me great satisfaction to report to you that aft trial of Rexall Mucu-Tone, the corps of physicians of our in: that tl compound is the best cure for catarrh which we hi *Inall ca.arrhal diseaser of the bronchi d nasal pai the stomach, intestines, kidneys and bladder; catarrhal troubl gener. ative organs of women. etc. Mucu-Tone has effected remarkable permanent cures. “ Mucu-Tone seems to act immediately upon the blood and mucous membranes, strengthens their cells and healing the inflammation. “(We shall continue to use this valuable preparation, for nothing can compare with it in the treatment of catarrh and its kindred troubles, “ Yours very truly, A. C. SMITH, President.” Certainly such testimony as this must convince even the most skeptical—certainly it will justify us in request- ing catarrh sufferers to give Rexall Mucu-Tone a trial; to give it a chance to speak for itself. If you will do this we know you will continue taking it until cured. Rexall Mucu-Tone is unlike all other catarrh rem- edies. It works through the bloodvessels, going direct to the affected part whether in head, throat, stomach, kidneys or bladder; driving oyt the poisons and healing all inflammations of the mucous membranes. From the very first dose its strengthening influence will be felt and from four to six bottles will effect a complete cure of the worst cases, Your money back if not more than satisfied.
