No one doubts that DR..
Sage's Catarrh Remedy really
cures Catarrh, whether the
disease be recent or of long
standing, because the makers
of it clinch their faith in it
with a $500 guarantee, which
isn't a mere newspaper guar
antee, but con call" in a
moment.
That moment is when you
prove that its makers can't
cure you.
The reason for their faith
is this:
DIR. Sage's remedy has
proved itself the right cure
for ninety nine out of one
hundred cases of Catarrh in
the Head, and the Worlds
Dispensary Medical Associa-
ton can afford to take the
risk of your being the one
hundredth.
The only question is-are
you willing to make the test,
if the makers are willing to
take the risk?
If so, the rest is easy. You
pay your druggist 50 cents
and the trial begins.
If you're wanting the $500
you'll get something better

SAN Francisco, Sept. 24.-At l1:3O
o'clock this morning William Martinke,
a bricklayer engaged in work on the new
Crocker building, at the intersection of
Post, Market and Montgomery streets,
fell from the ninth story, distance of 100
feet, and was crushed to Jelly.
The unfortunate man was engaged in
laying the terra Gotta brick facing which
incloseS the steel structure. when he lost
his balance and fell. He was working on
the Post-street side, and at the time of
the accident hundreds of people were
gazing upward at the immense structure
and watching the work of the mechanics,
who did not appear larger than small
boys at that great elevation. Market,
Post and Montgomery streets were
crowded, and when the man was seen to
topple, reel and fall, shrek went up
froTl the streets that was paralyzing.
When the falling body struck the side
walk it seemed TO produce the effect of an
earthquake, and nearly all eyes were
averted in horror. 4 few persons en-
ployed about the building ran to him, but
it was only 10 find a bruised and BLEEDING

are to handling horrible cases, they turned

a man named Henry Thompson was
just about ten feet away from Martinke
when he struck the pavement, and Miss
Lydia Noise was almostas near. Strange
to say, both of them were thrown to the

$40, 500, 600 in currency. There is now in

The next balance as shown by the

1t includes only the currency available

It is stated on good authority that dur
ing the present week the Treasury Off
Gals have had to hustle to get together
sufficient currency to meet the demands
of drafts, and, where practicable, drafts
have been drawn on the sub-t1easury at
New York to avoid curtaillng the small
currency balance in the Treasury Depart
ment. Money has also been transferred
by express and telegraph to points re-
moved from the sub-treasuries, to meet
urgent demands, as the Treasury could
not afford to have funds remain idle at
small points.
This "crampv for currency was brought
about by the redemption of d per cent
bonds, more than S16,000,e00 of which
have been redeemed during the present
month, and also to the falling off in Gus
tom receipts, which show a decrease of
about 80 per cent. during the present
month over the same month last year.
Pension payments have also figured in
reducing the available currency, s., ,500,-

The Pope Condemns 1t as Contradic-
ton to Civilized Discipline.
VIENNA, Sept. 24.-In a letter on duel
ing, Pope Leo says, in part: Both di-
vine and human law forbid that man
shall be wounded or killed except where
the interests Of all are concerned, or
where it is necessary for self-defense; but
those who challenge others to combat for
their personal concern, or accept such
challenge, and are not constrained thereto
by any necessity, these use their gifts of
mind and body for no other purpose than
to kill or wound their opponents.
Indeed, we can think of nothing which
is a greater contradiction to civilized dis
cipline, and which undermines the just
order of things more, than when the right
is left to every citizen to defend his own
rights and to avenge his honor as best he
thinks fit. a decree of Pope Alexander
III. condemns all combats arising from
private affairs. The Council of Trent,
with great severity. prescribed punish
ment to all who undertake or take part in
such combats. It brands them with
shame and expels them from the church,
besides refusing Christian burial to those
who fall. Pope Plus TX. pronounced the
severeSt punishment against seconds,
witnesses and all who know of duels.
"A man of character should despise the
deceptive judgments of the crowd. 1t is
a holy and just feeling which prevents
man from committing murder; and he
who bears insult and calumny rather
than neglect duty certainly shows more
exalted mind than he who, upon the
slightest offense, snatches up arms. In
