THAT TERRIBLE GRIPPE, "
What 1t Reall is Explained by Ones

What 1t Reall is Explained by Ones
of the Best Informed Men in Amer
lea.
The president of one of the leading New
York medical colleges, In conversation with
the writer the other evening, said;
ola Grippe the Russian influenza, that
has caused so much talk, is more severe
affliction than people usually think. 1t
arises mysteriously, and appears to have its
origin in the atmosphere. The last time 1t
visited America was in 1903, and 1t came
then, as now, from Asia. The name in
fluenza,' comes from the suggestion that
the malady was due to the influences of
the heavenly bodies, but more modern
science has discovered that it is due to the
changes in the electrical conditions. What
ever may be the cause, 1t is strong con-
gestion Of the blood vessels and mucous
membrane, principally in the head and
throat, and nothing but strong stimulents
win check this congestion and keep the
blood actively circulating For this pur-
pose know of nothing better than pure
whiskey, and believe Duffy's Pure Malt TO
be the best and purest whiskey known to the
world.
Formerly this influenza was said to PIE
cede an epidemic of the plague, and the
person who vas about TO be taken with the
latter, had as preliminary, a fit Of sneez-
ing. Now 1t precedes worse epidemic
than the plague, namely, the terrible pneu-
monia. Its beginning is slight, but its end
ing is often terrible Pains in the limbs,
back, chest and head; sore throat and q
lack Of appetite, copious discharge at the
nose; these are some of the symptoms OF
this dread disease. Upon the slightest ap
proach of any of these symptoms, neryou.
| feeling, or lassitude, resort should be had
TO pure whiskey, which is the only certain
means of breaking up this epidemic before
il secures hold upon the system or check

be taken, however TO secure only that
which 10 pure, as the article above named
certainly is.n

WEALTH OF THE MOBILES
THEIR ENORMOUS FORTUNES A
CAUSE OF DISCONTENT.

Rulers without Subjects Havo Money
Enough To Pay the Public Debts
of All European Powers, but They
do Not Contribute Penny of It.
LONDON, Feb. 13.-The enormous
fortune left by the late Duke of Mont
pensier has furnished grounds for an
other Socialist outcry against the con
tinuance OF q system of aristocracy hav-
ing no other aim and serving no higher
purpose than the personal enjoyment
of the members of that exclusive class,
and vigorous agitation of the matter
may be expected. Nor is this feeling
confined to the people designated as
Socialists. The Republican element
in every European country is nourished
into rapid growth and expansion by
this very fragrant inequality In the dis
tribution of wealth.
From the capital in the hands of mer-
chants, traders and investors in all the
various enterprises the laborer derives
his sustenance, but from the millions
locked up In the vaults of scions of
families whose regnant rights ceased to
exist years and years ago, the countries
over which they ruled having long
since lost their nationality, and in most
cases their names, the people get
nothing but the injustice which the
possession of those millions enable those
royal, princely and ducal idlers to in
tiict
1t is estimated that there is money
enough in the hands of kings without
crowns, princes without principalities
and dukes without duchies, many of
them, indeed, without countries and
who are never mentioned except in the
pages of the "Almsnach dc Gotha," to
pay the public debt OF every power in
Europe, yet nobody ever hears of one of
these fellows parting with a franc, ex-
cept upon the turn of q card or the
wheel of fortune at Monte Carlo.
Not long ago that royal loafer, ex-
King Milan of Servia, lost the paltry
sum of 100000 francs, and was for
some days thereafter in doubt whether
to commit suicide or recoup himself by
making raid upon the treasury at Bel
grade. Unfortunately he was persuaded
to forego his suicidal intention, and he
will probably succeed in begging
enough 10 make good his losses.

The stock market was very dull this

Tariff Rebate Wanted.

Messrs. John w. Keogh and George
Blair and State Senator John q. Boyd.
representing the warehousemen and
'lOpgshoremen of New York, presented
to the Ways and Means Committee this
morning petition signed by 5000
workingmen of that city, asking that
Congress amend the tariff laws by al
lowing to the importer rebate of per
cent. per month of the duty on all
sugar, hemp, jute, fibre and wool with
drawn from bonded warehouses for
home consumption, provided that the
merchandise is imported directly from
the country where grown or produced.
They claimed that great quantities of
raw material intended for this country
are stored in foreign warehouses until
actually needed here, and that this
system deprives the American laborers
engaged in the work Of steady employ
ment.
Mr.. Blair remarked that the party in
power claimed that it favored the pro-
lection of American labor, and that
here was chance to make good that
claim. The rebate, he said, would
stimulate commerce, enable this coun-
try to regulate prices and make il a
market from which to draw supplies
for the world.
J. r. Donnelly of Brooklyn argued
before the committee in favor of a
higher rate of duty on beveled plate
glass.

CAPITOL GUIDES.
John II. Burke Was Not AS Innocent
AS He Looked.


The guides around the corridors in
Capitol reaped rich harvest to-day.
The rotunda was overrun with visitors,
and the lobbyists from New York were
as thick as peas. Nobody seemed to
know whether there was any specific
reason for such an influx of New
Workers or not, but not less than three
representatives from the metropolis
were button holed simultaneously
within radius of ten feet

"Can l have the distinguished pleas

affable guide, approaching the aforesaid
visitor.
The latter turned on his muddy boot
heel and looked down upon the corpu-
lent little guide with stony smile and
said:
Who, me?"
"Yes, sir: you. You are a stranger
in the city, believe, and would like tC
see some of the sights in the Capitol
would you not?" said the guide.
Who, me?" again came the stony
reply.
"Of course mean you. You haven
seen the great bronze doors, COPIED
after the famous doors at Milan, have
youy"
Again the adamantine smile over
spread the face of the stranger, and on
came the two cold words:
"'Who, me?'

to make favorable impression

Gossip of the Corridors.

There are very few public officials
who have the faculty of knowing
just what news is. Many of these
officials are anxious and willing to
tell all they know, but 1t is necessary
TO ask them many questions before
one can get at their mine of informa-
tion. OF the United States Senators
there are five who seem to know just
what a reporter wants when he ap-
proaches them. They are Senators
Matthew @. Butler of South Carolina,
Arthur =. German of Maryland,
William f. Chandler of New Hamp-
shire, Joseph r. Hawley of Con
nectcut and ]. ]. ingalls, of Kan
sas. None of these gentlemen re-
quire any questioning; the informa-
ton they give is generally to the
point and covers all the ground of
whatever subject in discussion. Many
of the other Senators are equally as
willing as these gentlemen are to give
information, but few Of them know
what one wants till dozen questions
have been asked, and then the ques-
tioning must be continued until all
the information desired is obtained.
1t is tedious work, but it must be
