State, mid tile Collapse Causes a
Sensation In Flnnucltt! Circles.
New York, July 14.—The Middlesex
County bank of Perthamboy, N. J., has
closed its doors. Cashier Edward M.
Valentine is reported to be missing with
1100,090 of the bank's money.
The president of the bank, U. B. Wat
son, informed the police of Perthamboy
last night of the condition of affairs and
reported that Valentine had not been
seen since Monday last. The details of
how the money was converted or mis
appropriated are not known. Expert
accountants are at work on Cashier Val
entine’s books and until they finish
their work, the amount of *the shortage
cannot be accurately stated.
Cushier Valentine has been in the em
ploy of the bank for several years. He
was considered a man of steady habits
and lived with his family iu Pertham
boy. His family consists of his wife
and two or three children. He is under
40 years of age. Mrs. Valentine and
the children ure understood to be at
Ocean Grove.
The Perthamboy bank was estab
lished about 26 years ago and was con
sidered one of the oldest and solidest
banking institutions in New Jersey.
The failure of the bank to open its doors
for bussness today drew a large crowd
to the vicinity and the police were em
ployed to preserve order.. j
The chief of police of Perthamboy is
authority for the statement that Cashier
Valentine’s defalcation amounts tofllO,-
000.
Some weeks ago Cashier Valentine
took his family to Ocean Grove. He
spent Sunday there with his family and
when last heard of, ou Monday morn
ing, left Ocean Grove, as supposed, to
go to the Perthamboy bank. He did
not get off the train at Perthamboy, but
continued on to New York. In this
city he cashed checks amounting to be
tween $3,000 and $5,000 at the Park Na
tional bank, with which the Pertham-
boy bank transacted business. Cashier
Valentine was very well known at tho
Park National bank.
The police say that Valentine’s pecu
lations had extended over a period of
several mouths and that he managed to
cover up tho shortage by false entries in
his books.
CASTING PLANT IS BURNED.

Cincinnati, July 18. — The casting
plant at tho Addyston pipe and steel
foundry was completely gutted by fire
last midnight, near North Bend, and
everything except the standing cranes

villages tought nobly.
The fire was in the large stone build
ing used for, casting, the largest at the
great works. It occurred at the core
ovens by an overflow of metal. The
works have been running night and day
and 200 men were at work when the fire
began after 11 o’clock.
The volunteer fire brigade of Addy
ston was promptly at work and by 2
o’clock had gotten the tiro under con
trol. The loss is estimated at $400,000,
well insured.

Ideas of
beauty differ
but the one
sort of Iovlmess that all agree upon is the
beauty of health. No matter what her
features, no sickly woman can be attrac
tive. Sallow skin, sunken cheeks, pimply
face, hollow eyes, lifeless lips—these are
repellant. And they eau nearly always
be traced to the one cause—womanly^
weakness or disease. Almost all the ills
of womankind arc cured If you put the
feminine organism in to .healthy, vigorous
condition. All sickne* of women seems
to involve these deli call organs ami so no
matter what the symiioms may lie it is
best to look there for the real trouble.
All such disorders are completely and
permanently cured by Dr. Pierce’s Fa
vorite Prescription. It is designed for
just this one thing and is the only prep
aration of the sort produced by a regu
larly graduated physician — a skilled
specialist in the diseases of women.

Representatives of American Papers at
tho Seat of War Ask For and Ar®
Promised More Freedom In Sending
Dispatches to jtie United States.
Manila, July 11, via Hong-Kono,
July 17.—Tho constantly increasing
strictness of the censorship of press dis
patches from Manila, which has pre
vented the cabling to the United States
of anything that did not reflect official
views of important events and condi
tions, resulted iu a united effort on the
part of the correspondents here to se
cure an abatement of the rigor of the
censorship. The initiative in this di
rection was taken a month ago and re-
6nlted in the framiug of a statement
which was presented on Sunday, July
9, to Major General Otis, command
ing the military forces of the United
States iu tho Philippine islands, with a
request for permission to telegraph it to
the United States.
The correspondents also asked that
they be allowed to cable to their respec
tive papers all facts and the different
phases of events as they transpired
here. The correspondents bad two long
Interviews with General Otis, in the
course of which they complaiend that the
evident purpose of the censorship was
not to keep information from the en
emy, but to keep from the' public a
knowledge of the real condition of af
fairs here. It was also asserted by the
correspondents that newspapers printed
in Manila, which reach the enemy
quickly, are permitted to publish state
ments similar to those which corres
pondents are forbidden to cable. It
was made clear to General Otis that
the objection was to the system and not
to the censor.
General Otis finally promised greater
liberality, agreeing to pass all matter
that he might consider not detrimental
to the interests of the United States.
General Otis appointed Captain Green
of his staff censor.
The statement of the correspondents
is as follows:
’The undersigned, being all -staff cor
respondents of American newspapers,
Btatawied in Manila, unite in the follow
ing statement:
“ • \V« believe that, owing to official
dispatches from Manila made public in
Washington, the people of tho United
Status hive not received a correct im-
prcssioitof rho situation iu the Philip
pines, tmt that these dispatches have
presently an uitra optimistic view that
is not shared by the general officers in
tho field.
M *We believe that the dispatches in
correctly represent the existing condi
tions among the Philippines in respect
to dissension and demoralization result
ing from the American campaign and
to the brigand character of their army.
“ ‘We believe the dispatches err iu
the declaration that the situation is well
in hand and the assumption that the in
surrection can be speedily ended with
out greatly increased force.
“ 'We tbiuk the tenacity of the Fili
pino purpose has been underestimated
and that the statements are unfounded
that volunteers are willing to engage in
further service.
•• 'The censorship has compelled us to
participate in this misrepresentation by
excising or altering uucontroverted
statements of fact, ou the plea, as Gen
eral Otis stated, that ‘they would alarm
the people at home,’ or ‘have the people
of the United States by the ears.’
•• ‘Specifications: Prohibition of re
ports; suppression of full reports of field
operations iu tho event of failure; num
bers of heat prostrations iu tha field;
systematic minimization of naval opera
tions and suppression of complete re
port*: of the situation.’ ”
The statement is signed by John T.
McCntcheon and Harry Armstrong of
the Chicago Record; Oscar Davis and
P. G. McOonueil, New York Sun; Rob
ert M. Collins, John P. Dunning and
L. Jones, the Associated Press; John F.
