The WORLDS Fair troubles.

CHICAGO, Sept 16.-The national Worlds fair
commission today adopted the report to define
the powers of commissioners without change
after discussion. The clause which caused most
debate was that giving exclusive power to the
commissioners to alot space for exhibitors;
determine the plan and scope OF the exposition;
appoint ali judges for the exposition, and award
all premiums The alternates from various
states feel that they are not meeting with proper
recognition from the commission, and after ad.
journment held q meeting to talk over their
grievances The board Of engineers sent by the
secretary OF war to hear arguments on the ques-
tion of using portion of the harbor front con.
cluded its hearing today.
At the afternoon session there was lively
debate over the adoption of the judiciary report,
but it finally went through. II fixes the status
of the executive committee, etc.
Commissioner Mcdonald, of California intro
duced resolution defining the duties and
compensation of the board of lady managers
A motion was Immediately made to refer the
resolution to q committee to report at some
future time. This would virtually kill the
project to have women associated in the
management Of the ieir. Mcdonald was
aroused in an instant, and made a rinpfpg
speech, which was the feature of the session
He insisted that the subject go TO the judiciary
committee, with instructions 10 report not later
than Thursday. He was proud that under this
government women received greater consdera-
tion and more respect than from any other
government on earth, and asked an emphatic
vote to favor immediate action. McDonsld's
speech carried the comm issiOn by storm, and
his motion was unanimously ado pied.

edged" Men are not likely to invest all their
fortunes in the latter, but the desire to ant1cl-
pate the future and its Developments, to specu-
late on combinations Of men or measures, to
make money quickly, must always attract
many people to speculative shares.
At times this disposition Is relatively slight,
at times it amounts to q mania For several
years we have had more Of the former than the
latter condition Of affairs, but recently an In
creasing desire to engage in Wall street opera
tions has been detected. The public generally
merciai and industrial prospects, and we note
an increasing willingness to buy stocks. We
believe that timId holders with 1nsufnc1ent
margins have lately sold their stocks, and that
they have passed into hands SO strong thatsan
ordinary shock would not dislodge them. The
fact that there has been big money on the short
side of various stocks has encouraged the
growth of a crop Of bear speculators, which op-
crates to check any continuous and sensational
rise, but the hardening process Is at work, and
we believe higher level Of values viii be at

The bank statement showed loss in reserves
OF nearly three-Quarters Of million, but the
actual cash was increased over half million
dollars. The deposits increased hve millions

The Coal stocks went up to-day, but we can
not advise their purchase. The advance ap-
pears largely due to short interest and clique
manipulation. We are not so confident about

this, the company is sort of waif. and its

NEW YORK, February 1.-The stock market
was dull to-day, but in the matter of business

The bears in the first hour circulated report
of some accident insurance association being
in trouble, but no confirmation of the report
was had, and 1t obtained little credence and
had no appreciable influence upon the course

prominence we're New England, Reading and

spicuously by the same parties who had been
active IN supporting them of late. In neither

The Chicago and East Illinois stocks, how
ever, were marked exceptions to this rule, the

A LONG SIEGE
An Incident in the Life Of a Prominent
AlIeghenian.
Mr.. JOHN lift INTERVIEWED

IT can hardly explain to you how I got
into the condition was in. It came on me
gradually, and before I realized it my con-
dition was very serious one."
The writer had found Mr.. John N. Ift at
his pleasant home at No. 81 Grant alley,
Allegheny, IN the Sixth ward.
'I am quite willing, however," Mr.. LIT
continued, ITO do my best in giving an ac-
count of my trouble. It was fully six years
since 1 first noticed it, and during that time
not for q single day have felt like a well
man, or been an hour free from some kind Of
pain or sickness.
''To begin with, it was q slight cough that
troubled me; my nose would be stopped up
on one side or the other. My throat would
have a raw, uncomfortable feeling. That
was called eatarrh of the head and throat by
those whom I consulted about it. 1 tried by
every means knew to get rid Of that, but
instead of getting any better the trouble
seemed to be extending all the time down
into my chest.
ST found myself losing flesh steadily.
Sometimes would pick up for awhile, and
I would think was getting better, but then
in a little while would 6nd myself falling
away faster than ever and good deal worse
than I had ever been.

follows:
My nostrils would clog up. My head aehed

There was uropDing Of mucus from my head
TO my throat had night sweats. Ny heart
would palpitate rapidly and be followed by
slow, irregular beating and feeling Of faintness.

exertion tired me, and was unfit for work"
-How do you feel noUF'
''Like another being. All the symptoms I
have described to you have disappeared, and

for her catarrhal trouble.
On June she wrote: Your medicine 10 do
ing me good. do not feel 80 tired, and my
headaches have ceased"

when I commenced your treatment"
