CAN'T KEEP SUCH SECRETS.
CorneIl's Great Benefacror Gives 100000
More TO the University.

CornelI's Great BenefacroF Gives $500. 900
More to the University.
ITHACA, n. Y, May 24-It is the habit
of Henry W. Sage, one Of Ithaca's million
aires, who has given more to Cornell Uni
versity than any other man, TO keep his
princely deeds secret. To-day the cor
respondent was informed of another of Mr.
Sage's magnificent benefactions in the
shape of a 100000 endowment for the IL
brarv. 1t has been announced that in the
event of the final loss of the McGraw-
Fiske suit, involving 81, 500, 600 bequeathed
to the library, Mr.. Sage would pay for the
splendid library building, to cost over
$500, ,O00, ,on,which work has begun. But it has
not been made public until now that, in addi-
ton to standing the cost of the building,
Mr.. Sage offers, if the suit is lost, to give
the library an endowment of $500, 900.
Thus, at one stroke, he assures to Cornell,
an amount greater than the original en-
dowment fund given by Ezra Cornell.
If the McGraw-Fiske suit is won, as is
confidently expected, Mr.. Sage's half a
million will probably come to the Univers-
ity for other purposes, for Henry W. Sage
finds his life work in the building up Of Cor
nell University. The giving Of this sum
will make Mr.. Sage's ,benefactions to the
University amount to about 81 900, 600 in
cash, besides counsel and services without
which the University would be more than
that sum poorer.

UNABLE TO HOLD ON.
A Pittsburg Steel Molder Who Had
to Leave at the Last.
A VERY NOTABLE CONFESSION

"To stop work was serious matter foi
me, but had to do it. wars really driven
to i"
The speaker, Mr.. Morris Meany, young
molder at the Pittsburg Steel Casting
Foundry on Twenty-sixth street, spoke with
that simple earnestness that characterizes
all those who, not being great takers, when
they do speak are accustomed to being
listened to as having something of interest
or Importance to say.
81 was entirely broken down." he contin-
ued, ''and felt as if there wasn't much hope.
1t had extended so far that 1 had little
strength or ambition left. How did it be-
gin? Well, I can hardly say. 1t was my
head in the first place. Ny nostrils would
stop up; first one, then the other. Some
times they would discharge. There would
be. dull pain in my forehead; my eyes
would get dim and watery; there would be
sounds like ringing or roaring In my ears
and my hearing seemed to get poor.
''My throat gave me no end OF trouble.
I would be constantly hawking and hem
ming to clear it of the mucus and phlegm.
1t would feel raw and infamed, and my
voice would get husky. Sometimes could
not speak above awhisper. There was a
continual dropping back of matter from
my head.

VERY PLAIN TALK.

Showing the Outline of a Route Which il
Often Followed.
When a person with delicate constitu-
tion has a tendency to eatarrh or con-
sumption-whether this tendency is in
herited or results from taking cold easily
it is noticeable that that person invariably
loses flesh and loses strength, showing that
the nutrition is interfered with.
In such case the sufferer should at once
be placed under influences that will restore
the defective nutrition and tend to invig-
crate the constitution.
1t is to be remembered that in every case
the presence of catarrh is an evidence of
predisposition to consumption, and no mat
ter how slight the attack may be, it should
be treated with the greatest care, and the
treatment should be continued until all
traces of the catarrh disappeared.
If the catarrh is allowed to reach the
smallest tubes in the lungs-which condi-
tion is indicated by the splitting up of yell
low material--then immediate attention to
the malady is demanded, or serious lung
trouble will result.
Catarrh is. nine times out of tep, the cause
that produces consumption, and hence no one
can afford to neglect case of catarrh, however
slight 1t is easily cured, if taken in time, and
treated regularly and correctly by Speeiailst-
Ii left TO itself it is. rarely cured without

always a little deeper into the lungs, until
cure becomes diffieult and sometimes fmpossi-

Damages Amounting to $50, 900 Against the
Reading and the Pennsylvania.
PHILADELPHIA, May 24-Two men who
were injured through alleged neglect of rail-
roads secured verdicts in their favor in the
Courts of Common Pleas yesterday. In No.
1 Andrew Quinn secured verdict for S12, 900
against the Philadelphia and Reading Rail-
road Company, and in No. 2 Henry Specht
was given verdict for $40, 600 against the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
In the first place Quinn was in the employ
of the Reading Company as the engineer Of
a freight train, and was struck by the pay
train on May q, 1886, at Monocacy station.
He had descended from his engine and while
engaged in oiling the machinery was struck
by the engine of the pay train, of the ap-
proach of which he had received no notice.
The other case showed that Specht, in cross
ing the tracks of the Pennsylvania Com
pany at Tiogs street, with his horse and
wagon, was struck by a train. His right
arm was broken and his right leg so badly
injured that 1t was afterward amputated at
the knee.

II could see that 1 was getting weaker
and thinner every day. 1 worked as long
as could, but my strength gave out en-
tirdy at last, and had to give up. An
ugly hacking cough got hold of me. Sharp
pains would take me in the chest, running
through to my shoulder blades.
'My nights were the worst. couldn't
sleep. had to be continually raising to
clear my throat. The matter that would
drop down would almost choke me. Some
thing would seem to stick there that could
not get up or down. coughed and coughed,
and could get no rest from sheer coughing.
might sweats came on and weakened me
terribly. When would get up in the
morning I would feel weak and sick and
miserable. For half hour I would do
nothing but cough and raise, and l would
be so weak that I could hardly dress my
self.
81 couldn't eat anything. would feel
as ii had hearty appetite, and, when 1
would sit down to the table 1 could hardly
touch the food. II / did get anything on
my stomach, I would have to throw it up;
it was so weak it could hardly retain any
solid food.
Sometimes, when would be lying down,
my heart would beat hard and fast, pal
pitate for few moments, and then it would
beat slow and irregular, and there would be
a sensation of faintness and dizziness.
Sharp pains would seize me in the region of
the heart Iwas getting very pale and thin.
Ny friends all told me that I had lung
trouble. had lost sister from similar
disease, and was very respondent and low
spirited. about myself. I had tried almost
everything without getting any help.
"Well, it was in this condition that went
to Drs Copeland and Blair at &c Sixth ave-
nue.. found their charges were not exorb-
liant; that they were within my means.
They didn't promise anything, but I felt
sure they understood my case, and placed
myself under their care"
"With what result?" asked the writer.
Sin the second week commenced to feel
better, and from that on I steadily grew
stronger and better. The cough, the night
sweats and the pains in my chest disappeared.
My head and throat became clear and well. In
the third week was able to go to work again.
In three weeks gained over four pounds in
flesh. 1 am working regularly now. l feel
strong and well, as if 1 had taken new lease
on life. / owe my recovery entirely to Drs.
Copeland and Blair and l am very glad to
make this statement of what they have done
for me-"
Mr. Meany lives, as stated, at 2908 Mulberry
street, and this interview can easily be verified.

HOW THEY MAKE UP.
Lawyers Settle All Their Disputes
Over a Glass of Lemonade.
so SAYS GEORGE ELPHINSTONE.
An Incident of the Lawrenceville Murder
Trial Yesterday.
ABANES BIG SUIT TO RECOVER MONEY

The Carter murder trial was continued in
Criminal Court yesterday and progressed
very slowly during the day, owing in part
to the disagreements of District Attorney
Porter and Attorney johnson, who were
continually interfering with each other in
the matter of witnesses. Willis johnson,
the colored puddler, who was on the stand
on THURSDAY, continued his testimony yes
terday, which was to the effect that the de-
fendant was always fooling with the men in
the mill, but he never saw him bother Gross
before.
James johnson, who works in the Solar
Iron Works, identifed;the pistol with which
the shooting was done, as being his. 1t was
taken out of his coat pocket during the
morning and was handed back to him by
Carter after the shooting.
Officer John McAndrews. who arrested
the prisoner, identified the revolver. Will
lam Wagner, who was working near where
Carter and Gross stood, testified to hearing
some words between the men and shortly
after he heard a shot. Edward White, who
is in the patrol service, identified the re-
volver as the one handed him by the officer
at the time Carter was placed in the patrol
wagon.
At this point the Commonwealth rested,
and George Elphinstone, ESQ.,, addressed
the jury for the defense. He warned the
Jurors to take no heed of the disputes by The
attorneys, as they were Of no Importance and
were generally settled over glass of lemon
ade. Mr.. Elphinstone stated that they ex-
pected to prove that the shooting was acci-
dental. He also was raking District Attor-
ney Porter for the manner in which he read
Gross dying declaration, when Mr.. Porter
objected, and quite lively argument took
place. The Court sustained the objection.
William Ray was the first witness called
for the defense. he testified to having been
employed in the Solar Iron Works and was
there on the day of the shooting Carter
and Willis johnson were playing when
Gross got into the conversation, and he
heard shot fired. Gross told him that he
was shot, but witness did not at first be-
lieve him. The deceased finally called out
to catch him, as he was going to fall; he
was too far away, however, and Carter and
johnson caught him and laid him down.
Gross told the witReSs that Johnny"
shot him, but be did not know what for.
He told him this three times. He heard
the remarks between johnson and Carter
about doing" mis- big brother, but thought
they were in fun. District Attorney Porter
spent an hour cross-eXamining the witness,
but did not get him to swerve from his
story.
After hearing this witness Court ad-
journed until this morning.

You Want No
More Than Fair.

There's such a thing in
business as carrying too much
ballast, and getting weighed
down with the name of keep
ing a cheap store.
But who ever heard people
complaining of getting too
good for their money? of be-
ing tired of that? Not in the
clothing business at any rate.
People are always seeking
the reliable, the long-wearing,
the best-to-be-got for the
money, and we propose by
keeping that kind to make
every buyer of clothing an
indorser and steady customer
for Wanamaker & Brown
goods.
We have a rule for our
prices, bear in mind. The
least you'll buy the clothing
for: not a cent more than it is
worth.
There isn't a chance for
anybody to nip an extra
profit anywhere between you
and us who manufacture.
Every price a fair one.
Lowest prices at Wana-
maker's-not cheap clothing.
We're sure we're right about
both.
1000 styles of goods for
to measure.

TOO MANY CATTLE.
Languishing t)oudition OF One Of the Argen-
tine Republics Grenfest Industries
"A 'Governmenr Bounty

1
l. "A Governmenr Bounty
TO the Rescue.
WASHINGTON, May 24.-E. L. Baker,
United States Consul at Buenos Ayres, ip 9
report to the Department of State, says that
the cattle industry of the Argentine Repub-
lie is in such languishing condition thar a
law has been passed offering guaranty of .
per cent for ten years on the capital en-
ployed in the business Of exporting fresh OF
preserved beef The report says it is under
stood that several establishments are pre-
pairing to take advantage of the guaranty
provided by the Government, and are going
into business on large scale, with special
steamers fitted up for the traffic and ware
houses in England and France.
Great things are expected from this
bounty law by the Argentines, but Consul
Baker says he does not believe the
law will hurt United States beef
shippers much until new methods are
adopted for the preparation of beef for
expectation. Stall-fed cattle are quite un-
known in the country, and all bullocks for
the market are taken directly off the grass,
the meat, of course, being soft and watery.
The Argentines, it is thought, will not cut
much of figure until they learn that dry
food is absolutely necessary in order to pre-
pare fresh meat for very distant foreign
markets.
The total number of sheep in the Argen-
tine Republic is estimated at 80, 900, ,000, and
of horned cattle at 2O, 900, 900. 1t has been
customary to slaughter the surplus cattle
and keep the stock down by the preparation
of jerked beef for Brazil and Cuba, and the
shipment of the bones and tallow to Europe.
These shipments have been steadily de-
creasing in the past ten years, and the stock
of horned cattle has increased from 10, 0O0,-
900 to 80, 600, 900 head.
Ten years ago nearly 100000 cattle were
slaughtered annually in the province of
Buenos Ayres alone. Last year the num-
Der did not exceed 100000, and many
slaughtering establishments have been COM
PEELED to close up. The cattle industry has
also become greatly depressed from this
diminished demand abroad, and the value
of the carcasses of horned cattle has fallen
from $12 to 500 head, until they are now
drug in the market at from So to Sc head,
or little more than the value Of the hide. 1t
was in response to the frantic appeals OF the
cattle men that something be done to stimu-
late their industry that the law was enacted
giving bounty to fresh beef exporting es-
adjustments.

Would There Be ANY Reason for Sending a
Commission to Hayti.
NEW YORK, May 24.-At the Office of the
Haytien consul this morning, Vice Consul
Singleton said that Minister Preston had
not as yet seen the report of the Boston's
departure for Hayti with a Government
commission aboard for the purpose of ex-
amining into the status of foreign govern
ments in that country and to see if there
exists any necessity for American interfer-
ence.
'For my part" said Mr.. Singleton, "I
cannot see any reason for the visit of any
such commission, unless it be to see if every
thing is all right before this Government
recognizes Legitime. England and France,
1 believe, have already recognized Legitime,
and Germany and Spain will undoubtedly
do the same. For ourselves, we do not ex-
pect any news before the arrival of the next
Dutch steamer"
The Boston is being prepared for sea, but
it is the opinion of her officers that fully
two weeks will be required to get the vessel
ready.
