FRAUDS AT MONTE CARLO. Gamblers May be Interested But None Others Care. Paris, June 21. Monte Carlo has been considerably stirred up by the discovery of a series of exceedingly clever frauds on the part of employes Df the famous gambling casino. The plan was for a confederate to hand to a croupier a five hundred franc note for change, and the crou pier would give him, instead of five hundred francs, a thousand francs. Of course the croupiers and the banker of the table at which the con federate presented his note were nee essarily in league, otherwise the scheme could not have been worked The affairs of the casino are kept very secret, and it is not known how much the syndicate managed to steal, but there is no doubt that the amount was a very large one. AM of those concerned have been expelled from the principality. SURPRISE PROCEEDINGS.

It is Absolutely Pure Watershed Pro tected and. Policed and Monthly Analysis Made. Every now and then some wild rumor is started either wontonly or viciously and always without truth that Golds- boro's water supply is polluted. Really, there ought to be a statute enacted punishing condignly any per son proved guilty of attempting to wontonly harrass the community in this way. v If there is any one thing in Gords boro better than all others it is our pub lic water supply. It is absolutely pure. It is the best in the world, because it is pure. Every month since the plant was established the State chemist has analyzed this water, and these analyses can be seen at the Public Works office by riny who take interest enough to call and examine them. Goldsboro has a world-wide renown for the excellence of its water, and it is on record here where cities of foreign lands have written here lor drafts of our plant. Not only is our water pure, but its tributaries the water sheds of Little river for fifteen miles up stream, are protected by statute and the territory regularly inspected and its wholesome surroundings maintained. Consequently, when you hear any wild rumors of polluted water from the city's pipes just nail it, please, that's all. Yes, there is one more word: In the State chemist's analysis blanks there is the item "odor," and on all the offi cial monthly reports filed for the past year, which weinspected this morning, the chemist answers this "odor" ques tion thus "none," with one single ex ception, which is his February report and opposite "odor" on that blank he writes "earthy." And there you are. PLANS FOR PIL GRIM MONUMENT. Roosevelt's Vacation Broken in Upon. The President Will be Received by a Salute From the North Atlantic Squadron, and by a Bat tery of Artillery.

An innovation that is without ques tion the greatest that ever happened in magazine publication has come with the first appearance of the new :t Mun sey idea for July. Like a- of Mr. Munsey's undertakings, it it a little startling, but it will grow . you. Briefly, it is a magazine in two olunies under separate covers, but i-uder one. name. The name is The Screp Book a magic name that made a great inaga- i zine a great success from the start. Mr. Munsey says there isn't room enough within one cover to make a big enough and strong enough magazine to satisfy the reader of today. The Scrap Book in its new form is the largest magazine ever published the biggest money's worth to be had Its conception seems only natural "to the man who has achieved fame by siz ing up the wants of the reading public and then filling the want. Every phase of life, every topic of interest, every subjeet that has the world's attention, is told of in picture and story. It is truly a reflector of public sentiment a mirror of the world's events. It deals with things timely and draws interesting compari sons with things of the past. Stories of great disasters, reports of big achievements, comments on fa mous trials, side-lights on everything of human interest, having their place in its 192 pages yet this is only half. The other half is 160 pages of pure fiction the kind that tugs at the heart strings, the characters in which take the form of life and become your ac quaintances. It is fiction such as only Munsey is famed tor as the pioneer in the publi cation of the all-fiction magazine. There is not a picture or a break of any kind in the 160 pages of the good solid kind of stories that make J such an ap peal to the American love of romance and adventure.

With im pressive ceremonies near here today, work was formally inaugurated in one of the greatest engineering undertak ings in the, world's history the aque duct which is to supply New...York city with water from the Catskill mountain region. The aqueduct will be .the greatest of ancient or modern times. It will cost 161,000,000 20,000,000 in excessof the estimated cost of the Pan ama canal and thirty times the cost of the Corinth canal, which the Roman Empire, under Xero, undertook but did not finish. A large official party from New York city participated in the ceremonies marking the inauguration of the work of construction. Bishop Potter ottered prayer, J. Edward Simmons, president of the board of .water supply, made the welcoming address, and Mayor Mc Clellan delivered the principal address of the day. Charles N. Chadwick made the form presentation of the spade to the contractors and the exercises were brought to a close with a benediction by Right Rev, Father Lavelle, Vicar General of the diocese of New York. It is estimated that it will take be tween fifteen and twenty years to com plete the aqueduct. When finished it will increase the water supply of the metropolis by 500,000,000 gallons every twenty-four hours, led under the Hud son river more than one hundred miles away from the seven artificial lakes to be constructed in the Catskills, and of these sources that at Ashokan alone will contain more water than all three of the lakes of Kiliarney. The building of the aqueduct, which will have the capacity of a small river, beneath the Hudson river and the ir regular country adjacent known as the Highlands, is an extremely difficult problem. An enormous territory must be drained, whose northern boundary is 131 miles from New York city. In an area of over several hundred square miles entire towns must be destroyed to make roorn for reservoirs. It has been decided to carry the tunnel be neath the famous headland of the Hud son known as Storm King. At this point the viaduct will be built more than 500 feet below the surface of the river. The aqueduct will be covered through out its entire length. Much of it will pass far below the surface, where it will be necessary to tunnel. In places where the aqueduct will be above or near the surface it will be built in the form of a trench and later arched over. In such cases even the roof will not be left exposed, but will be covered with earth and stone to strengthen it against all possible attacks of time and weather. The aqueduct will carry thirty times as much water as did the famous aque ducts of Rome combined. The twelve reservoirs which must be constructed to hold the enormous flow of water from "the various watersheds of the Catskills and adjacent hills will far ex ceed in size, anything of the kind in the world. One of these reservoirs will be twelve miles long with an average width of one and one-half miles. The Ashokan reservoir alone will have a j capacity of 170,000,000 gallons, or j double the . present water supply of New York city. THE PRIZE MNERS The Arqus Circulation Promoting ; Contest.

Her feet seemed to irritate her most, especially, nights. They would cause her to be broken of her rest, and sometimes she would cry until she was tired out. I had always used Cuti cura Soap myself, and had heard of so many cures by the Cuticura Remedies that I thought I ; would give them a trial. Theimprove mentwas noticeable) In a few hours, and before I had used one box of the Cuticura O intment her feet were well and have never troubled her since. I also used it to remove what is known as "cradle cap" from her head, and it worked like a charm as it cleansed and healed the scalp at the same time. Now I keep Cuticura Ointment on hand in case of any little rash or insect bites, as it takes out the inflam mation at once. Perhaps this may be the means of helping other suffering babies.
