SECOND NEW YORK DEPOT FOR P. R. R. NEW YORK, Oct. 27. Through passenger service is now in operation between Manhattan Transfer, near Newark, and the Hudson Terminal, Church and Cortlandt streets, vit the Hudson and Manhattan R. R. in connection with the Pennsylvania railroad. This practically gives the Pennsylyanla two stations in New York City. All-steel trains over the Pennsylvania lines to New York continue to run through to Pennsylvania station, the new terminal at 32nd street, fronting on 7th Avenue, landing passengers in the heart of the hotel and theater district, while tbe new arrangement affords quick access to the financial district In odwn-town section. Tbe new arrangement is significant of the constantly growing transportation needs of the metropolis and of the adequate appreciation of this growth on the part of large transportation interests.

Consumptives Helped by Tuberculosis Medicine It Is folly to believe that Con

tlon differs from every other disease In not requiring the use of any specific medicine for its cure. The trouble has been that none was known until the many cures effected by Kokman's Alterative began to bo realtzod. Now, for ten years, an enormous mams of voluntary and thankful testimonials from persons who consider that they owe their lives to this remedy have been accumulating. Surely plenty of time to demonstrate Its lasting value. You can write to any of them. Here is one: 6823 Olrarrt Ave.. Philadelphia. Pa. "Oentlemen: In the wjntcr of 103 I had an attack of Grippe, followed by Pneumonia, and later by ' Consumption. .1 grew steadily worse. In the winter of 104 I had couRh. night sweatsfl fever and ralaed quantities of awful looking stuff and later I had many hemorrhages; at one time, three in three suoeessive days. Milk and egjrs became so distasteful I could keep nothing down. Three physicians treated me. I was ordered to the mountains, but did not go. Eckman's Alterative was recommended by a friend After taking a small quantity I had the first quit night's sleep for weeks. My Improvement was marked from the first. 1 gained strength and weight and appetite. I never had another hemorrhuare and my cough gradually lessened until entirely gone. I am perfectly well. Everything 1 say here can be verified by my family and friends." Signed Affidavit) ANNIF. R lOl'OHRAN. Eckman's Alterative Is effective in Bronchitis, Asthma. Hay Fever: Throat and Lung Troubles, and in upbuilding tha system. Poes not contain poisons, opiates or habit-forming drugs. For pale by A. G. Luken and other leading druggists. Ask for booklet of cured rases and write to Evkmun Iiboratorv, Philadelphia, Pa., for additional evidence.

Richmond's Water Contract The Richmond city council has been informed that it has no power, under the law, to inspect the books of the Richmond Water company until it is ready to enter into a contract with it. Two bids are now being considered one from the water company, and another from E. M. Campfield, representing an eastern syndicate. 'Before the books of the company can be looked Into the council must reject the Campfield proposition, and be ready to enter into a contract with the Richmond Water company. Such Is the construction of the law. Perhaps it is the right one as to that we do not say. But if it is, the law ought to be changed. For the idea of the legislature undoubtedly was that contracts with pabllc service corporations should be made in the light of the fullest information that could be had. In this case an inspection of the company's books is necessary in order to determine whether the bid is or is not reasonable. Of course, It is not held that the city must accept the bid before it is entitled to see the books. But it is held that all other bids must be rejected, and that the city must ' indicate its purpose to enter into a contract with the company whose books it is to inspect. After the inspection it may reject the bid, or bargain for a fairer price. But with all other bidders out of the field, the city would be at a great disadvantage. The real question, of course, is, not whether the water company's proposition is better than that of Campfield, but whether it is what it ought to be. This can not be decided without the information contained in the books of the company. A water company is no mere private corporation. Operating under a franchise granted by the city, and performing a public service, it ought at all times to be under the reasonable control of the public. The people are always at a disadvantage in contracting with these corporations. For the corporation that is in possession of the field can make it extremely difficult for an outsider to bid. The situation itself ia againdt the outsider. The holder of the contract can underbid him, and yet hold the price too hifch. We have had some experience of this sort in connection with our garbago contract. As we have said, the Richmond council can reject the Campfield bid, offer to contract with the Richmond Water company, and then examine its books. If it shall appear that the bid is too high, then the council can reject it, and begin all over again. But it ought to be able to know that the bid is too high before it considers the question of making a contract with the company. It seems to us that this ruling greatly weakens the law, and seriously cripples our cities in their negotiations with public service corporations. Indianapolis News.

REP. COMMITTEE MEETS SATURDAY To Make Decision on Their Action in Local La Follette Meeting.

Isaac Jenkinson.

Isaac Jenkinson, a resident of Richmond, but belonging to the state at largo by virtue of his broad sympathies and public spirit, whose death was announced yesterday, was of the highest type of American citizenship. He was a man of education and enlightenment, a student of men, of events and of books, but not a dreamer. Always deeply interested in the affairs of the day, he considered them from a practical standpoint, yet the standpoint of high-minded patriotism, it might almost be said of statesmanship. His integrity, his comprehensive intelligence, the sanity of his views, grew to be understood early in his career, and he became a tower of strength to Morton and other leaders in and out of the state at a critical period of history, and an adviser in important political crises of a later time. A forceful writer, a keen observer, logical and reflective, he was an Influence through his newspaper for many years and later through occasional contributions to the press. As a promoter of educational interests in the state he rendered great service, and to the last he retained his interest in school matters, as well as in political affairs. He was what restless reformers of this day would call a conservative, but he was really a progressive in the best sense always ready to espouse new and advanced ideas, but only after careful reflection and investigation had convinced him of their quality and value. All in all. he was a man and a citizen whose memory is worthy of honor. Indianapolis Star.

Francis McMinn, vice chairman of the Wayne county Republican Central committee, has issued a call for a meeting of the committee Saturday af

ternoon for the purpose of making a decision as to whether the Wayne County committee will take any part in the local LaFollette meeting the middle of next month, when Senator LaFollette appears here. It is understood that the entire committee, with two exceptions, is opposed to the committee having anything to do with the LaFollette meeting. The publication of the fact that LaFollette has selected Richmond as one of the two places in Indiana where he will make a set speech has aroused a great deal of enthusiasm among the local shop men who are very anxious to hear the man who has fought almost single handed for the rights of

the people. It has been suggested that in case the county central com

mittee does not decide to hold the meeting under the auspices of that committee, an organization will be formed among the shop men and the meeting will be held under their auspices.

In Terrible Shape

Rheumatism routed with just one bottle of marvelous RHEUMA. The best thing about this letter is that it is true every word of it: "I have taken only one bottle of RHEUMA and the result is wonderful. I was in terrible shape from Rheumatism, but that is all past." Bert Higley. 25 Grove St., Union City, Pa. Read it again, you Rheumatics, full of Uric Acid poison, who are going around saying Rheumatism can't be cured. Then read this one: "I want to get a bottle of RHEUMA for my mother. My mother-in-law used it. Two bottles cured her of Rheumatism completely." Wm. H. Phillips, Box 45, Hedgesville, W. Va. We could give you a hundred more if we had the space. Leo H. Fihe guarantees RHEUMA or money back.

Ask Leo H. Fihe for ENGLISH MARHUE, the greatest remedy for Indigestion and Stomach agony, 25 cents. Mailed by Kheuma Co., Buffalo, N. Y.

The Theaters

"The Girl in the Taxi," had its second presentation last night with an excellent company. The better, however, that "The Girl in the Taxi" is played, the worse it is. Theatrically it is good. Morally it is bad. In fact it is as nasty a play as ever seen on the American stage. Little can be said of it other than that it was said by this column when it appeared here last season, namely "The Girl in the Taxi" is first cousin to "The Girl From Rector's" an emasculated version of which has been seen in Richmond. .The Taxi play, like the other, is a whoop-along i'arce, and, from one point of view, might be regarded as highly amusing. The play itself is dramatically well enough constructed with a capable cast. Whether or not this was, as "The Girl From Rector's" the "Sunday school" version, put on for the delectation of the highly moral

city of Richmond, cannot be said. But however that might have been, the company was. applauded with every indication of deep enjoyment on the part of the audience. "The Girl in the Taxi" has absolutely nothing to recommend it from the standpoint of dramatic art. It is simply common, disgusting and vulgar. It presents no "problem." It tells no story. It is merely a record of the doings of a parcel of sensual people on the lowest plane of living. Its object, apparently is to make vice attractive. But only great art can thus succeed. And "The Girl in the Taxi" has nothing to do with art. It indirectly ridicules every simple,

honest, homely virtue. It makes light of the relation "of a mother and son. It sneers at marriage. To be manly and decent and honorable is to be stupid, according to "The Girl in the Taxi." While there are farcical situations in the play that make it ludicrous and absurd, the whole thing is, in the end, wearisome. One string is harped on too persistently. It drools down to nothing and becomes- vacuous, Billy, driveling. No one can be affected by such a spectacle. It is, paradoxically, too good to be bad. It glances off at a

tangent. A laugh, then a smile, then a shrug of the shoulder and finally boredom complete and utter. Nevertheless it received vociferous applause, got plenty of curtain calls, raised innumerable "laughs." This is not "knocking" the management of the Gennett. Theatrically this is as good an attraction as to be seen "on the road." It is the fault, if it can be assigned any place, of the producing managers. And evidently there must be a 'demand or there would not be so continuous a supply. Last night's company, was, as a whole, better than that preceeding,

I Miss Julia Ring, of the conspicuous ! Ring family whose repertoire boasts ! Blanche and Frances, making an at

tractive Taxi girl. In one particular, however, last year's aggregation was better than this in the character of "Bertie Stewart." Bobby Barry, this year's "Bertie" could not measure up physically to Ward de Wolfe last year's impersonation or the role. The latter was the masculine ingenue to the dot. The former, extreme sophistication masquerading. "The Girl in the Taxi," in truth, is hardly worth writing about. E. G. W.

Uneeda Biscuit never disappoint! You have never heard anyone say "The Uneeda Biscuit in that last package were not as good as usual." You have never said it yourself. It is one thing to make soda crackers that are occasionally good. It is quite another thing to make them so that they are not only always better than all other soda crackers, but always of unvarying goodness. The name "Uneeda" stamped on every one of them means that if a million packages of Uneeda Biscuit were placed before you, you could choose any one of them, confident that every soda cracker in that package would be as good as the best Uneeda Biscuit ever baked. 5c a package never sold in bulk.
