TAMMANY IS IN
NEED OF MONEY
Completes Arangements to Mort
gage Its Wigwam.
NEW YORK, August 20. —The Tam
many Society is taking steps to raise
much needed money by mortgaging
the Fourteenth street wigwam. Char
les F. Murphy caused some suprise
by calling a special midsummer meet
ing of the sachems for last Tuesday
afternoon. To complete the plan for
mortgaging the Fourteenth street
property it was necessary- to have
the authorization of a two-thirds vote
of the sachems.
A quorum of sachems did not res
pond to the call for the meeting, and
it was adjourned until 12 o clock the
following day. Extraordinary efforts
were made meantime to muster two
thirds of the 12 sachems of the so
ciety, so as to have a quorum pres
ent. This was finally accomplished
by telegraphing to John Fox.
Acording to a statement now made
public, Joseph P. Day, treasurer of
the society, reported that in oidei
to retire the outstanding bonds on the
structure to the amount of $87,000,
which bear interest at the rate of6
per cent., it would be advisable, and
lie'would be able, to negotiate long
time loan at 4% per cent, interest,
and so retire the last of the outstand
ing bonds.
At the meeting, according to the
statement made this plan was - ap
proved, and Messrs. Cochran, Cohal
on and Plunkett were appointed to
negotiate the loan for $87,000 on the
binds and mortgage.
Tammany has a hard fight ahead of
it in the coming primary elections,
and Chas. F. Murphy realizes that
many of the sources that have here
tofore contributed generously to the
campaign funds are now closed to
him. it was surmised in usually well
informed circles that the plan to
mortgage Tammany Hall contemplat
ed the raising of ready money as
well as the retirement of outstanding
lionds.
Real estate men said the Fourteenth
street property might be worth ap
proximately $f,00,000 and when freed
of its incumbrance of $87,000 it
ought not to be difficult to raise upon
it a loan for a sum largely in excess
of the latter figure.

Second Cousin of Blaine, Accuses
Relatives of Larceny.
WASHINGTON, PA., August 20-
General Williams Welsh, whose mo
ther was a cousin of the late James
G. Blaine, and who is a wealthy resi
dent of Knox County, Ohio, charged
Miss Mary H. Sampson and her mo
ther, his sister, Mrs. T.ucretia Samp
son, wife of W. T. Sampson, of near
Monongahela, with larceny. Welsh
claims that his sister and niece took
from him an old Confederate flag
captured in action and other Civil
War relics valued at several thousand
dollars.
Welsh claims that the flag and
other relics were left in a trunk at
his sister's home for safe keeping
and that recently when he went to
secure them they were missing.
Miss Sampson makes the startling
assertion that her uncle desired her
to marry him and upon her refusal
he brought the larceny charge against
her and her mother. Congressman
George V. I.awrence, who died re
cently, was an uncle of General
Welsh.

IS READY TO RISK
THE SALE OF BOOZE
Whiskey Houses Get Tips From
Wholesalers.
Georgia whiskey dealers are being
bombarded with circular letters by a
Cincinnati distilling company, and if
what these letters say is true, Geor
gia is not going to be as dry as is
generally supposed. This letter
makes a request for the saloon keep
ers’ trade until January 1, 1908, and
agrees to take hack all unsold stuff.
But it is the last paragraph of the
letter which is interesting. It says
this particular distilling outfit has a
plan whereby the saloon man may
keep on selling whiskey and not vio
late the law.
This is what the letter says:
“We have a plan which will enable
you not only to continue your present
income after January 1, 1908, hut
triple it if you have the least hit of
energy, ability and application.
We do not care to make it gener
ally known, but jf you are interested
we will give full particulars where
by you can continue in a legitimate,
legal manner to sell goods without
risk to yourselves, or customers.
Write us for these details and you
will hear from us promptly.
•“In the meantime, we want your
orders under our guarantee that we
will take hack nil of our unsold
goods by January 1, 1908. May we
hear from you?”
How this Cincinnati house is go
ing to have Georgia saloon keepers
sell whiskey after January and not
break into the chalngang is a mys
tery.

C Q C RIOS THE SYSTEM
O, O. O. OF MALARIA
Malaria is an atmospheric poison which we unconsciously breathe into
onr system. The blood in its constant passage through the lungs absorbs the
germs, and they destroy the rich, red corpuscles of this vital fluid and reduce
it to such a weak, watery condition that it is unable to properly nourish the
system, and disease gets a foothold. Then the symptoms of Malaria, such
as pale, satlow complexions, weak vitality, poor appetite, deranged digestion,
and perhaps chills and fever show that the trouble is affecting every part of
the bod}'. Malaria also affects the liver, producing a chronic state of bilious
ness, and often a long spell of fever follows when the blood becomes fully
contaminated with the poison. Chronic .Sores and Ulcers, boils, aches and
pains, and skin affections of various kinds often result from this insidious
disease if the poison is allowed to accumulate in the blood in sufficient quan
tities. Malaria must be removed from the system through the circulation,
and for this purpose nothing equals S. S. S. This great remedy goes down
into the blood and drives out all germs, microbes and poisons, and perma
nently cures Malaria, S. S. S. not only cleanses the blopd of the cause, but
furnishes it with the healthful properties .t needs, so that instead of a weak,
germ-infected stream, spreading disease throughout the system, it becomes
a rich, red fluid, nourishing the body and enabling it to resist disease.
S. S. S. is also the greatest df all tonics, and builds up and invigorates the
entire system while ridding the blood of the germs of Malaria. Persons who
are suffering from Malaria will be pleased with the prompt and pleasant re
sults produced by the use of S. S. S., and can take it with confidence because
it is au absolutely safe medicine, being free from har ofnl minerals of any
kind. Book on the L'lood and any medical advice (ledred sent free to all

SPYING ON THE
CORPORATIONS
Trusts Have In Employ Secret
Service Men.
CHICAGO, August 20.—The Re
cord-Herald says:
“Secret Service agents of the
United States Department of Jus
tice, working through the bureau of
corporations, are said to be on the
payrolls of all the big railway cor
porations and trust combinations in
the country.
“In Chicago alone it is said there,
are at least 150 special men who are
working for railroads and for packing
house companies and are watching
every move that is made with a
view of ascertaining whether .the
corporation laws are observed in let
ter afid spirit. While no proof is
obtained as to the presence of these
spying employes, in several instan
ces men who have ben suspected have
been removed from their positions on
the ground that they were in the em
ploy of the government as secret
spies.
“One of the officials of this end of
the Department of Justice when ask
ed if such an army was at work for
the government, said:
“If it were so, I could not tell. I
know of instances where men have
lost their positions unjustly from
