Mrs. Mary E. O’Fallon, a very intelligent

proved; couldsoon get out of' bed and walk.
She says: “ I became perfectly cured by
Hood’s ".Sarsaparilla
and am now a. well woman. I weigh 1281bs.,
eat well anddo the Work for a. large family.
My case seems a wonderful recovery and

almost like one raised from the dead.” '1

Green Hands for Consuls.
The consular appointments, that are
being'distributed just now, says the
Philadelphia Times, are given out
upon the same plan that has been al-
ways pursued, as personal favors or in
recognition of political services. With
the exception of a few prominent posts,
Consulates have never been much
Sought for by professional politicians;
it has been rather the amateurs, the
gentlemen ”in politics, or gentlemen
out of politics, literary men, journal-
ists, or young men of influential con-
nections and, with a taste for travel,
for whom these places have been re-
served. Considering the absolute in-
experience of most of them, it is not
strange that our consular service has
never been conspicuously efficient.
The principal business Of a Consul is
to look after the commercial interests
of the country he represents. It has
contributed very much to the commer-
cial success of many of our foreign
competitors that the consular service
of most European nations is a recogniz-
ed career, to which men are profess-
ionally trained and in which promo-
tion is gained by experience and achieve-
ment. In truth there is scarcely any
branch of the civil service in, which
this sort of professionaljcbnsecration
is more essential (than in the consular
and the subordinate diplomatic ser-
vice, and yet .these are the only branch-.
\
i
toward permanent tenure.
, Mr; Bayard had some 'ideaof an or-
.ganized! consular service .but he found
glittle v material .to w0rk with, and the
little that be accumulated was promptly
scattered when Mr. Blaine came in.
With very few exceptions the Consuls
were then all renewed, and now they
are to be all changed again. The
changes may or may not be improve-
ments, but even if the Consuls were all
that we Can ever expect to get a consul-
ar service that will be of any real use to
the country. We might as well com-
mission a new set of officers for the
navy every four years. ,
”This system has endured so long and
its faults are directly apparent to So
few, while its advantages are particular-
ly appreciated by both the executive
and legislative powers, that it is not
likely to be changed very soon. Prob-
ably it will not be changed at all until
our foreign commerce shall grow more
extended and important, and the need
of efficient consuls to look after it is
forced on public attention.
Poiice_vS- Press.
When approached Tuesday by a
GAZETTE representative relative to a re-
cent burglary, which had been report-
ed to the police, Chief Dann informed
the reporter that it had been his inten-
tion to keep the matter quiet and not
let the newspapers know of the affair.
The burglary, however, was given
away to a member of the press by one
of the police force, and published.
We are of the opinion that such action
on the part of Chief Dann is-wrong.
If the .police need assistance they at
once seek the- aid of the newspapers,
who gather the news of the state and
outside world from day to day. If a
horse is stolen or a robbery committed
the press is the first to give it to the
public, together with a description of
the stolen property and the thief.
The item is passed along each day
from paper to paper until the thief and
stolen property has been minutely de-
scribed and read in every town in the
state. By this assistance [of the press
the owner is often aided in regaining
his property, and the police given valu-
able assistance. If an occasion arises
wherein the publication of a robbery
or other item would tend to defeat the
hand of justice, it is but necessary for
the police to fully state the case to the
press and request its publica ion with-
held. Such confidence .will never. be
violated by a true newspaper man, and
Chief Dann need have no fear of such
an imposed trust beinggbetrayed. But
to attempt to keep an item of news
from the press is wrong and rarely suc-
ceeds. Sooner or later an alert report-
er is on the trail and publishes the facts,
much to the chagrin of the police.
The newspapers are indispensible to
the police. The police are indispensi-
ble to the press. Why then, should
they not work together in unison ?
Some weeks since the GAZETTE called
attention to the illegal sale of, intoxica-
ting liquors within the Borough limits,
and commented thereon invu-nmistak-
able language, but nothingtwas dOne
by the police to stOp it. In order to be
of assistance to the new .Chief, as well
as to protect those who have paid their
money for a license, we again call
attention to the matter and remind
Chief Dann that liquor is reported to
be openly sold illegally in the second
story of a building on Wall street, on
Water street, on Franklin avenue, on
Prospect avenué, on Chapel street, on
Knight street and on Main street, all
within the Borough. In addition to
the above sale of liquor without license
the GAZETTE would also call attention
to the fact that liquor is said to be sold
on Sunday by licensed saloons on Wall
street, on Main street and on Water
street. We are in possession of the
names of these guilty parties, and a
member of Chief Dann’s force also
has the names of a large number‘of
persons seen coming out of these places
on Sunday, all of which are at his pleas-
ure.
Here is a great opportunity, Chief
Dunn. Will you do your duty and
stop‘ this Sunday and illegal sale of
liquor ? '

The building is constructed Of pressed
brick and stone, and all the windows

Remedy For Squeaky Shoes.
When vour shoes squeak go to a shoe
maltr" .nd have him put a peg in the
miudre of the sole and there will be no
more loud proclamations. Another
thing, when you buy a pair of new-
shoes and they hurt you, put water in
them and let it remain for a minute,
then pour it out, and if your shoes burn
or hurt you after that oucan say I am
.wrong. - The water ta es all the natur-

the shoes comfortable.
