FACT STRANGER THAN FICTION.

Mr.. William Roland, of Abilene, Texas,
eight years ago had pneumonia. When he
became well enough to be able to get out
again twas found that assesses had formed
in the left lung. Soreness over the lungs and
acontinuous cough, raising quantities Of cor
ruption, which was discharged from the
lung assesses, caused his physicians to
despair of ever being able to cure him. He
employed three physicians, one after an
other, took various proprietary medicines,
and yet his disease rapidly gained ground.
For four years he was confined to the house,
utterly unable to get any relief, and his
constitution was slowly giving way to the
drain on his system. Hearing of Pe-ru-na,
as g last resort he tried bottle of it, which
SO improved his symptoms as to encourage
him to keep on taking it. After taking it
for few months he was entirely cured,
and is to-day a healthy, strong man. His
recovery was surprise to his physicians
and friends, and all are astonished at the
curative power Of Pe-ru-na in such desper-
ate cases.
This was undoubtedly case of catarrhal
consumption in an advanced stage. Pe-ru-na
has cured many similar cases, and no doubt
there are thousands of cases ofconsumption
given up as hopeless which this remedy
would cure. For all chronic diseases of the
head, throat and lungs, coughs, colds,
catarrh, la grippe and influenza, Pe-ru-na is

PAYMENT OF PENSIONS.

Denial by General Raum That
 There Will be n Deficiency in the
 Treasury-Plenty of Money to Meet
 Obligations.
 NEW YORK, May 18.-A Washington special to the Evening Post quotes Com missioner Raum as stating that there is no truth in the Gazette's statement to the effect that the payment of pension cer- tifcates in cases that have been completed is withheld at the order of Secretary Foster, who fears that there will be a large deficiency in the treasury at the end of the fiscal year. The commissioner says that this statement consists of 8 jug gling of figures for the purpose of mis- representation. Since coming into the office General Raum says he has estab- lishen system of daily reports by means of which he is enabled to tell at the close of each days business exactly what has been done. A copy of this daily report is | sent to the president, the secretary of the treasury, the secretary of the in terior and Judge Veazy, commander in-chief of the Grand Army of the Repub- lie. General Raum, to verify this point, produced his monthly report for
 
 claims under the act of June and but com paratively few of the others having been | issued in that month there were in reality | Il, ,167 of law claims allowed and 20,37e under the act of June 27, 1890. This makes a total of 31, 1,546 and Raun1 said 16,000 more than during the same month last yeer. These claims al lowed last month he further stated, carried with them first payment of S3,s74, ,S15 For the last week of April and including two days in May General Raum produced the reports, which showed that his office had allowed 3,535 old law claims, for whicl certificates had been issued, and 5, 143 new law claims, making a total of S,479 fo, that short period, and carrying first pay ment of $776,4S6 Instead of there being deficiency in the treasury by reason O. the work of the pension office the commis sioner asserts that the appropriation vii not be:consumed by fully 10,000,000

An Attempt to Expel the .Ex-Queen
 rom servian Territory-Rescued by Students Collisions with Gen. darmes-Tvo of tao Queens Supp porters Killed.
 BELGRADE, May 18.-The prefect of the | city who was charged by the regents with
 the duty of e1pelling ex-Queen Natalie from Servian territory went to the latter's | residence to-day, and in spite of her earn est protests, compelled her to enter car riage which drove towards the quay on the Danube, where the royal yacht was moored. The news that the ex-queen was really to be expelled from Servia had, in the meantime,' spread throughout Bel grade and had reached the students quar- ters. The latter promptly turned out in force and as the carriage containing the unhappy lady was being driven towards the Danube it was surrounded by 8 crowd of students who seized the horses heads, brought the vehicle to a standstill and loudly cheered the royal prisoner. The students then de tached the horses from the carriages and dragged the ex-queen, who remained seated 1 in the perfect's conveyance, back to her 1 residence, cheering loudly as they passed through the streets. The perfect, assisted by force of gendarmes, tried in vain to re- gain possession of the ex-queen, but the students escorted her to her residence in spite of all efforts made to prevent them. On their way there, however, several col
 lisions took place between gendarmes and students, but the latter came off victori- | ous. The regents are anxiously discussing | the next step to take, as it is evident that a serious popular disturbance may be | caused by any too nasty action on their part, now that it is evident that the ex- queen is not so friendless as some people supposed.
 It is difficult to understand the sudden ! move of the Servian premier in actually ! attempting to expeu ex-Q Queen Natalie, when | it is remembered that he was supposed to | be great friend of Russia and to have 1 pledged his word to the czarina, who ! wished to be greatly attached to Natalie, that the ex-queen was not to be expelled 1 from Servia.
 Aware of the sympathy felt for Natalie ! by the opposition party in the skuptschina 1 and by the public, the government had 8 l strong force in the vicinity. After Natalie had been taken back to her residence by l the students the cabinet assembled, and at 9 o'clock the ministers were still in session. The citizens and merchants generally side with the ex-qusen. The residence of Ma | talie is defended by students, as intense ! excitement prevails. A conflict occurred ! this afternoon, the troops firing upon the | queens supporters, killing two and wound | ing many others.

Their value is very great, and in size and variety they range from the superb silver salver presented to Mrs. Harrison by the ladies of San Francisco to a tiny bit of a silver baby carriage not much over an inch square, which was entrusted to the president to present to his grandson, Benjamin Mckee. In U tsh the president was given the free dom of the state during the presentation 1 of silver map of the state nearly foot square. In San Francisco the invitation to the Palace hotel banquet was on thick | gold card, his menu card was another gold plate and the freedom of the city was on a superbly-wrought square of gold. From the launching of the Monterey Mrs. Harri- son has several elegant mementos- One IS a purple velvet sash, another is large sll- yer ladle with picture of the ship in the bowl, and the third hammer made from one of the first rivets placed in the ship. Mrs. Harrison also has spoon to ,l shown for nearly every town and city she visited in the silver states. The salver from the San Francisco ladies has the card of invitation for the reception at which it was presented on its face wreathet in grapevine. From different cities or the coast she has elegant gold and silvel knives and spoons made in odd and attrac tive shapes; miners lamp of silver was present in another, and dishes of silve filagree work is a reminder of another.

 -Miss Sallie Hanley Also Indicted A Theory.
 DENVER, May 1S.-Dr. Graves was ar rested this afternoon at 4 o'clock and was taken to the county jail, where he will spend at least tonight. Tomorrow he will have hearing when the question as to whether he will be admitted to bail or not will be decided. It is said upon good authority that Miss Sallie Hanley has also been indicted. It was thought yesterday that an indictment against Mrs. Graves had been found and it is said that such was the case, but the grand jury, acting on the advice of District Attorney. Stevens, reconsidered their action, not having evi- dence enough yet to warrant it. The theory is that Mrs. Graves wrote the label on the bottle to Mrs. Barnaby, while Miss Hanley carried it to Boston and mailed it there. Detective Hanscom, who had charge of the case at Providence went east last night tol5secure further evi dence
