LOM SHARKS Assemblyman Russell Intro- duces a Bill in the Legisla- ture That Wil! Put an End to Their Operations Here. MILLIONS WRUNG FROM NEW YORK WAGE EARNERS. District-Attorney’s Office After Local Bank President Who !s Said to Have Been Associat- ed with D. H. Tolman. The war against loan sharks has tn- terested the New York Legislature, and the passage of the bill introduced by Assemblyman Russell, of Kings, seema certain. This measure will put an end te the practice of usury, and either Grive out the money lenders or force Them to exercise some degree of fair- ness. The Russell bill prohtbits the charge 9F acceptanco. of more than 6 per cent. Bn any kind of a loan, and provides a penalty of $500 or a year in prison for the violation of the law. It will sup- press the lending of money at from 20 {to 90 per cent, on salaries, chattel mort- ‘Gages, tools or machinery. Under the fire from tho District-At- torney’s office many of the Now York @harks have fled to Jersey City and Ppened offices there. The most promt- ‘ent of these is D. H. Tolman, whose 4 je is said to be.greater than that ‘of the majority of millionaire capital- sts. From the clerks and low wage arnere of New York alone he gleans a yearly harvest of $500,000, it 1s sald, Tolman calls himself a “private Banker,” and with New York ond Cht- @ago as headquarters he spreads his tentacles from coast to const and from (the Great Lakes'to the Guif. Tis name known to the money borrowers of ‘Mfty-five cities, Tolman's Flattering Offer. The offer in’Tolman's dally ndvertise- ment is flattering. Once in the power of @ money lender it 's hard to free ‘one's self, but those who are shrewd enough to pay Tolman early are at once made offers to become lls agents, In & polite note they are asked to send their friends for loans and promised a fommission pn all business, The business {s conducted on a care- ful plan. Beforé the money ts paid the Qpplicant must go through a rigid ex- amination.

Next the applicant tells whether he is married or single, how many children he has, what church, if any, he attends, and who is his pastor. He must tell his Age and the value of his personal prop- arty, If he 1s a member of a union ora lodge he must tell the name and addr: Of the secretary of such organisation!

The names and addresses of his parents are ro- quired; as are the names and ud- Mresses of his wife's parents and final- hy the names and addresses of his bro- fthers and sisters, and the names and ly jaddresses of his wife's brothers and! } ‘sisters, “It is Tolman's plan to double the capital invested every forty weeks. {he arrangement is made according to the laws of the State in which the ton is made, An applicant for a loan pf $18 must ask for $0, for #1 ts sharged for an application feo and $1 for brokerage. When the money is paid the applicant must sign notes Aggregating $28, covering twenty weeks.

J., Feb. 6,—Bessie Foalks Healy was arraigned to-day be- fore Recorder Noonberg on the charge of murdering James Kohn at her home, "No, 163 Oliver street, this city, The girl stood unfilnchingly before the bar and her lawyer, John Johnson, waived ex- amination and entered a plea of not guilty.

Edward Healey is employed in a stable in Paterson, On account of her fondness for the company of young Kohn, Healey left her two years ago, and since that time Koln has been a steady companion of the young woman. She insisted on telling her girl companions that she was the wife of Kohn, whose family is of prominence in Paterson, Healey never took any action against his wife and even appeared to encour- age the friendship shown by Kohn for fied Policeman Wunders, who called Dr.} her.

J., Feb. 6—Daniel Cassidy, forty-five years old, of No, 308 BRUARY 8th, AT WHICH DOZEN PAIRS OF WILL , § Sint FAvenne, ew York, aii DANIEL F. APPLETON DEAD. Body Will Be Taken to Ipswich, A HAPPY FAMILY. THE CITY’S SCOURGE. E produce on this page a spicture of the germs of grip, pneumonia, ma- Jaria and typhoid. These are the disease- producing bacteria that have caused so much sickness and $0 many deaths in Greater New York. Our illustration is of a happy family of these bacteria—of course magnified In size. The large bacteria repre- sented in the centre with the flagella, or feet, are the typhoid germs; the swall ‘bacilli on the edge are of in- fluenza or grip. The pneumonia germ may have all of these forms and some others besides when they all get to work in the tissues of the lungs. There were 9,691 deaths from pneu- monia in New York in 1903. The number of fatal cases since the be- ainning of the year are far more numerous than for the correspond- ing period of a year ago, and the men appointed to guard the health of the city are alarmed. In Chicago, one-eighth of all deaths for the past two years have resulted from pneu- menia. Men are more susceptible to this disease than women, especially are fleshy men who consume a great deal of alcohol. CHILLY, CARS CAUSE DISEASE, The intolerable transportation fa- cilities of the great cities are un- doubtedly responsible for the high death rate from pneumonia. Persons leaving warm homes are compelled to spend long periods in ‘painted re- frigerators moved by electricfty for the benefit of the pockets of street railway magnates. The chill gets into the lungs, pneumonia follows afd the death roll is fattened. The people on this earth are sus- ceptible to some Iiws which govern plant life, A plant cannot be suc- cessfully grown in the dark, A man is seldom healthy and strong who lives in the dark or in sunless rooms, After all, Nature's ways are found to be the best. A man who lives close to nature in God's free air, in the woods or fields, is usually a healthier man than the one confined in factory or workshop. Nature's remedies are always best for eradicating dis- ease, and by this we mean a medi- cine made of plants and herbs. Get as near to Nature's way as you can, There's a reason, Vegetable foods are usually good for the body in health. The humay economy di- gests and assimilates them best. In disease, remedies made entirely of botanical plants and roots are best and safest for the system, such as Dr, Pierce's Golden Medical Dis- covery. They are assimilated in the stomach and are taken up by the blood and are, therefore, the most potent means which can be employed for the regaining of lost health. Microbes snatch at us from every corner,: They mean to kill or eat us if they can. They ares formed by millions on everything we eat, drink and wear. The air is alive with them, Medical science has proven in the past few years that nearly every dis- ease is a germ disease. Such disease ga@ms enter into the blood in two ways, either through the lungs or stomach, If the blood is pure and rich, the liver and stomach fm | healthy, active tondition, the germs of disease cannot find a resting pI there to multiply. Disease of. the lungs, bronchitis and consumption, grip and pneumonia, are.very apt to spread through a factory where there is much fine dust in the air. The lungs become irritated and the germs find a fertile field for growth, [Ex- treme weakness, feelings of nervous exhaustion, coughs and colds are the warning signals which should be j heeded. One should put the system in the very best possible condition right away. Rid your lwody of the poisons that are apt to accumulate, and your systems ready to ward oft the attack of the germs of disease. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medica Dis- teovery makes rich, red blood—wy in- creasing the red blood corpuscles. There is no alechol in this great tonic’ to shrivel up the red blood corpus- cies. An alterative extract, mado only of herbs and roots, it goes about its work in nature’s way. Only good can come from its usg, as it stimu- ‘ates the liver into proper action, and feeds the wornout nerves, stomach and heart on pure blood. To build up the system and put on healthy flesh, nothing acts so perma- nently as this ‘Medical Discovery” of* Dr. Pierce's. It preveffts the disas- trous after-effects. of grip, pneumonia, and typhoid. The necessity for build- ing up the system and fortifying it at this time is met by this splendid tonic and alterative, Witness the experience of Mr. Collier: ; “About two years ago I was a suf-, ferer from lung trouble so severe that 1 could not take a deep breath with- out great pain,’ writes Mr. W. H. Collier, of Flatrock, Va. “It was my right lung. It would not expand when I breathed long or deep, the muscles of the right -breast seemed. all shrunken away. I had a bad cough, which was at times very trouble- some. About a year ago I com- menced using Dr, Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and with most pleasing results. My breathing got better, cough stopped, appetite im- proved, and I gained in sttength and in weight very rapidly. By the time I had taken three bottles of your Golden Medical Discoyery’ and two vials of your ‘Pleasant Pellets,’ I felt strong and well again. This was about one year ago, and I have had no return of the trouble since. My. lungs seem as sound as ever before,) and I believe your medicine has en- tirely cured me and saved me from consumption.” 5 “I was taken with a severe cough, weakness in my back, a ‘glimmer’ over the eyes, had a bad breath, and, stomach was out of order,” writes, H. Gaddis, of 1423 South Tanna} eyenue, Tacoma, Wash. “I felt slug- gish, did not care for anything, had’ no life, it*was almost misery to mova, appetite very poor. I read Dr. Plerce's Common Sense Medical Adviser and’ went right away and purchased two bottles of his ‘Golden Medical Dis-; covery,’ and before I had taken all; of one bottle I felt better. If any doubt the truth of this testimonial‘ they may write to me.” The Common .Sense Medical Ad- viser is sent free on reccipt of stamps to pay expense of mailing only.
