One of the Famous Shipbuilders of Long Island His Long and Interesting Career. Northport, L. October 2o Jesse Carll, the well known shipbuilder, whose death was reported briefly in last night's Eagle was a native of this place, where all ot his long life, was spent. He was the son of Jesse Carll, and Susan Smith, and was born on March 21, 1S32, being one of a family of nine children. In 1849, when 17 years of age, he apprenticed himself to James and Lloyd Bayles, shipbuilders of Port Jefferson, to learn that trade; and when his apprenticeship was ended had mastered pvcry essential detail.

In 1854 Mr. Carll and his brother David began shipbuilding here under the firm name of D. J. Carll, and, despite the fact that they started business with a capital of only were very successful. The third vessel they built was the bark Storm Bird, 650 tons burden, and costiug $35,000.

It was a rush order and the bark Was launched in eighty seven working days from the time her keel was laid. Owing to the failure of the bark's owner to keep to his agreement, the Carll brothers lost $7,000 on the contract, and found themselves $4,000 in debt. They were not dismayed, however, and continued the business. When they dissolved partnership in 1S65 they divided $50,000 between them. Jesse.

Carll continued the business and built many famous vessels, including the bark Mary Greenwood of 000 tons and the Joseph Rudd, which was built in 1S71 at a cost of Jesse Carll. $34,000. She was caught, in a storm in the Gulf of Mexico and was driven two inland. It was necessary to dredge a canal to the gulf and float the Rudd to tide water. This was done at a cost of and consumed a year's time.

When the vessel was finally in the Gulf it was found that although exposed for a year to the tropical sun she was not injured, and as soon as loaded put to sea and delivered her valuable cargo safely in New York. The work done on the Rudd was. characteristic of the output of Mr. Carll's yard. Every vessel constructed him was built on honor, and it was a frequent occurrence for him to build yachts, barks, without going through the formality of signing a contract.

Among other vessels built by Mr. Carll was the pilot boat Jesse Carll. named after her builder and which had a memorable career. It was Mr. Carll's boast that no man in his employ and at times his list of employes numbered 200 ever left the yard on Saturday night unpaid.

The lower portion of the abdomen is called by anatomists the pelvis. The or cans contained in this portion of the body are known as the pelvic organs. There are several of them, very delicate and very subject to catarrh Few women escape entirely catarrh of these organs. While each case presents some minor difference as to detail, thev are all in reality alike. Telvic catarrh, therefore, is a gynenc term tint covers all cases of catarrh of the pelvic organs.

Captain Horatio Hall, manager of the Maine Steamship Company, and who has a summer home here, is the prime mover.

George C. Hendriekson, as counsel, has the legal end of the affair in hand. The original intention of the promotors was to organize a national bank. To do this J50.000 capital was required. One half this amount was subscribed for by outside parties and the local allotment was very quickly oversubscribed.

Po successful was the movement that the question of establishing a trust company, with $100,000 capital, is now being considered by the promoters. The subject of a second bank in this place has been under consideration for more than a vear brought up by the great success of the Hank of Huntington, a state bank, which is now the strongest bank of deposit in Suffolk County. It was established in 1S8S and has deposits of nearly $500,000. Its capital is surplus about $75,000. It has been a dividend payev from the start.

The question of proper officers for the new institution is one that is receiving much attention V.

All this is done lo reap some of the benefits tovwhich Peruna Is so justly eutitlcd. Incidentally I'eruna is injured by cheap imitations, and yet it is a great compliment to l'erunu to have such a host of imitators.

Why do they single out Poruna from, among the proprietary medicines? Simply because Peruna is the greatest seller in the world. Everyho 1y knows this. To successfully palm off an Imitation of Peruna even for a short time is sure to be money making scheme, but no one who has ever taken IVrutia can be fooled on these iiiihatiors. No conscientious druggist would sell on. of them.

Every purchaser should look carefully at each package of Peruna he buys, to be sure that he is getting only genuine Peruna.
