Half The Nation Suffers From Catarrh. GOVERNOR G. W. ATKWSOX OF WEST "VIRGINIA. Charleston, W.

Va March 9, 1898. The Peruna riedicine Columbus, Ohio: Gentlemen "I can recommend your preparation, Peruna, as a tonic. Its reputation as a cure for catarrh is excellent, it having been used by a number of people known to me with the very best results." Q. W. Atkinson.

ULLY fifty per cent, of the people of the United States are suffering from catarrh in some degree or phase. There is scarcely a home in the land entirely free from this disease. One or more members of every household either has catarrh or some other ailment directly dependent upon catarrh. Catarrh is rapidly becoming a national scourge. Its existence in the system complicates and intensifies any ailment a person may happen to have.

With these alarming facts comes the encouraging news that Peruna cures catarrh. Cures it permanently; cures Brakeman Had Exciting Adventure With Two Robbers on Rapidly Moving Train. MADE SENSELESS AND ROBBED, One of the Bandits Prevented His Companion Prom Being Hurled Off the Car. Chicago, February 16 On top of. a box car at the rear end of a rapidly moving freight train, William J.

Bennet, a brakeman, gave battle to two highwaymen last night. One of the bandits had a revolver. "With this man Bennet clinched. They rolled and tumbled about together on the top of the swaying car, each endeavoring to hurl the other from the train. After a desperate struggle Bennet succeed ed in getting his adversary in a position where he would have been able to throw him from the car without going with him.

At that juncture the second robber came into the action. He saved his companion and in a scuffle with the brakeman struck him from behind with a billy and rendered him unconscious. Angered because of his narrow escape the robber who had been worsted then set upon Bennet as he lay helpless and" pounded him mercilessly over the head and face with the butt of his revolver, inflicting a dozen wounds and knocking out several of his victim's teeth. After searching Bennet and securing a small sum of money and a. silver watch the robbers Jumped from tho train and made their escaoe.

The assault took place on a train on the Lake Shore tracks between Forty third and Fifty first streets. Bennet did not recover his senses until the train reached Englewood. There the train was moving slowly and with blood streaming from his wounds Bennet climbed down the side of the car and fell from the train into the arms of Yardmaster Flaws. The injured man was taken to the Englewood Union Hospital. SMALLPOX FRIGHT IN TROY.

Man With the Disease Had Mingled With People in Saloons and Theater. Troy, N. February 16 This city had a smallpox fright last night andas a resultmore than 200 citizens bared their arms to compulsory vaccination.

Washington, February 16 Consul Chester, at Budapest, reports to the State Department that United States exporters still have many years in which to sell shoes in Hungary before the dealers in that country are able to meet the demands upon them.

There are many retail shoe stores for the sale ot foreign made, shoes in Budapest, the Consul says, but they are all offering ugly formed, ill sized and fairly expensive goods. The leading American houses will act wisely, he says, if they open their own stores in European capitals, each under the management of a native American who speaks the language of the country "and is not too proud to try personally to please his customers." American shoe exporters are advised to select popular names for their shoes, as European customers always look for goods, the names of which are eynonyms for quality and reliability of fashion.

The trade with the United States was: Imports from this country, exports, 51,826.678. These latter figures as compared with the results for the same pGriod of the preceding year indicate a gain of over 78 per cent, in the imports and a material decrease in the exports.

His subject is an Resolution Favoring Guy Miller's Candidacy for Commissioner of Indian Affairs CAUSES SOME DISCUSSION. Several Friends Believe It Is Wot Province of Society to Pavor Any Political Scheme. The introduction of Dolitics into the councils of the philanthropic committee of the fcew York monthly meeting of the Religious Society of Friends, held last night at the Friends' Meeting House on Schernierhorn street, caused a dissension among those present and there was more than a mild reproach delivered when the purport of a resolution offered by the chairman of the sub committee on Indian affairs was clearly understood by the male members of the Society of Friends. The resolution which caused rebuke from Borne of the wiser heads present was introduced by the chairman of the sub committee on Indian affairs.

This action was at the request, he said, of the Maryland Friends, who desired to have Guy Miller, one of their number, a Baltimorean, appointed as commissioner of Indian affairs, for the purpose of enrolling the surviving 5,000 Indians, the remnant of the Six Nations in this state, preparatory to the distribution of some awarded the survivors of the Six Xations by the United States government. It was stated when the resolution recommending the candidacy of Friend Miller was introduced that the place desired for him was being striven for by wily politicians who sought profit to themselves by the position and who would worst the Indians and the government as well if they were able. For this reason the candidacy Friend Miller should be favored, the speaker said. It was several minutes before the full meaning of the resolution dawned upon the Friends assembled. When its meaning was made clear to them there was instant opposition.

"I do not know that it is or that it has ever been the province of the Religious So city of Friends." said one gray haired Friend, "to favor or foster any political scheme. I think it most improper and unseemly to mix ourselves up in any political plot. It is. if they look at the matter as I do, a very bad precedent to establish." Other Friends seconded the remarks quoted and after a low toned hum of interested comment, it was decided to leave the matter lor the consideration of the representative committee of the yearly meeting of the Religious Society of Friends, a deliberative tody which meets this afternoon. That committee will weigh the matter care lully and if it is deemed that the introduction and passage of such a resolution by the Society of Friends of New York even savors of political plotting or jobbery it is Bate to say that the resolution will neveb.

be introduced much less passed. During last night's meeting it was announced by John William Hutchinson, one of the Friends, that the code committee of the State Senate was considering the merits of the bill which the Society of Friends has succeeded in having introduced in the State Legislature, and which provides for the abolishment of capital punishment in this state. Another bii; somewhat similar in character is that now pending in the Assembly. This bill provides that in the case of a trial of any person in this state for a capital offense the jury may decide as to whether the punishment for the crime shall be death or imprisonment for life. It was pointed out last night that the essentials of a good criminal law were speedi ness.

moderation and certainty. And that in those states in which capital punishment had been abolished, lynchings have almost stopped. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, president the National Woman's Suffrage Association, addressed the assemblage after the business discussion was over on the subject of "Equal Rights." In part she said: "I shall speak to you to night of the home in its relation to the government. In the long ago and not so very long ago.

either It was a familiar saying that a man's house was his castle! The public had no right to interfere with a man's personal liberty and he might do or say anything that he desired so long as lie was in his own home, which was in those times regarded as his castle. "In those times it was the husband who was the owner and ruler of all household goods as well as personal apparel and it was the husband whose right it was to expend the income of the family as he desired. The wife had nothing to say as to the disposition of the funds of the household. In the average church it was the husband who always prayed and the husband voted. In everything the family of which he was the lead was guided and controlled by him.

even so far as to be guided in their opinions by lis opinions on every subject. "Time has changed things materially and now the wife is really a factor in the home. The women pray and sing in our churches these days. A woman now acts for herself. She Is equal to a man provided her brain is equal to her husband's brain.

Time has changed the status of a man. He is no longer the head of his house. Husband and wife Ere on terms of equality. "Now the home is in the government: the government in the home. It remains but.

for the womn nf this land to have an equal fchance with the men in the government."

The Fort Lee Ferry Company Is building temporary slips on the Harlem side of the Hudson River, at One Hundred and Twenty ninth' street, a block south of tho present location of the ferry house. This is to make room for improvements planned by the city. These include stone bulkheads along the west side water front and the ferry company will use the temporary slip until tho work Is done at the company's present site.

This work will be commenced as soon as the weather permits and will be hurried to completion. When completed the ferry company will erect a new and commodious ferry house on its present site, foot of West One Hundred and Thirtieth street. This is a convenience which the company has felt the need of almost as much as its patrons, as the present ferry house is primitive to a degree and has long been inadequate for the traffic. For a year or more the ferry, although still retaining its old name, has made landings at Edge water instead of Fort Lee, on the Jersey side. Its importance has Increased gradually with the growth of upper New York, and during the summer the boats carry many excursionists.

Taxpayers in Unionport who have been opposed to the proposed widening and extending of Avenue from the Bast River to West Farms road, Bronx, can now rest easy, as the action of the Borough Board on Thursday in laying the petition on the table will silence any movement in that line for some time. About twenty property owners were present to oppose the improvement. Their spokesman was Father Mechler of the Church of the Holy Family, who said that It would ruin the church property. Michael E. Devlin spoke for those in favor of the project and pointed out the advantage of being connected with the water front.

The same number of cars that were used yesterday during the rush hours would accommodate the ordinary number of passengers with comparative comfort and decency. All talk of the impossibility of running more cans can now safely be classed as nonsense. 47F. Brooklyn. February 15, 1901.
