bad MRS. SMITH CONSUMPTION?

Her Sufferings We're So Great She Often
Thought She Must Die-She Had Lost
Flesh Until She Was Reduced Aim ost
to a Skeleton and Her Whole Life Be-
came Miserable.
Mrs. Frank Smith, who lived for many
years on the Southside. this city, but now
living near Nimick station, Pa, makes an
emphatic statement of her sufferings, and
how she tried physician after physician, but
found no relief. She had been almost led to
look upon her case as an incuraDle one, but
decided to try the treatment of DIS. Cope
land, Hall and Byers as a last resort.
Said she: 81 want to express my gratitude
to you, gentlemen, and l want it put just as
forcible as you can possibly make 1t. l want
it in the newspapers, so that others who may
suffer as l did may read of my experience
with Drs. Copeland, Hall and Byers, and
learn where to find relief. For know " hat
has been done for me can be done lor others
"My trouble came on about six or seven
years ago. 1t began first with cold in the
head. followed by another, aud then another,
until my nose became continually stopped
up, and the pains in the front and especially
in the back of my head became SO severe
and the annoyance so great that life became
almost a burden in itself.

Asthma is rarely q disease of itself. 1t
arises from numerous causes-dfseases of
the kidneys, stomach, heart, nerves, lungs,
blood and nose. If these several causes
were well understood and treated accord
ingly, there would be fewer irascible asth-
matics. Catarrh of the nose, moist, dry,
atrophic, hypertrophic, is now regarded the
most frequent cause of asthma-renected
asthma, it is called. The cause, of course,
indicates the treatment-cure the catarrh,
correct the deformity in the nostrils. il there
be any, and the asthma will disappear.

For the Worlds Fair, to BE Paid for by
Connecticut subscriptions.
HARTFORD, Conn, Feb. ST Special. J.
The postfnasters in every town in Conneoti-
cut nailed to the wall in the corridors of
their offices to-day a nickle-in-the-slot box,
on which was the inscription: "Contribu-
tions to the Harriet Beecher Stowe fund"
The boxes were sent by the Connecticut
members of the Board of Lady Managers of
the Worlds Columbian Exposition, who
propose to place marble bust of Mrs.
Stowe in the building being erected at
Chicago for the women of this and other
countries. Accompanying this will be
copies of her literary works, which will be
placed in the library of the building.
Since only women's work will be ac-
ccpted in the building, Miss Anne Whit
ney, the Boston sculptor, has been engaged
to make the bust, and she will have it
ready for the opening of the Fair She
asks 81 900 for her work, and the Connecti-
cut managers say that if every town in the
State contributes only $40 each there will
be money enough to pay Miss Whitney.
After the Fair is closed it is proposed that
the marble shall be presented to the free
library of Hartford, the city where Mrs.
Stowe now resides.

CALLING ON CANADA
To Negotiate With Her for the I'm
provement of Two Canals.
UNTOLD RESOURCES OPENED UP.
The Fictitious Produce Gamblers Raked
Down Once More.
A PROPOSED NATIONAL LOAN FUND

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 8.-Au inter-
esting report was to-day submitted to the
House, to accompany resolution reported
and Interstate Commerce, requesting the
President to negotiate with Canada to secure
the speedy improvement of the Welland
and st. Lawrence canals, SO as to make
them conform in depth to the standard
adopted by the United States for its i'm
provements within the great lakes. The
report says in part:
'"rhe recent development of the untold
resources of the great Northwest has made
the productions of that region not only a
vital part of our internal commerce, but the
leading factor of our foreign trade. To
facilitate this Internal commerce Congress
has not hesitated to vote appropriations by
millions. Its action in this behalf has met
the country's approval"
The committee believe that it is now
equally important to take the proper steps
to secure deep water outlet for the foreign
commerce originating in States tributary to
the great lakes"
The impracticability of deepening or i'm
proving the Erie canal so as to admit the
passage of ocean-going crafts, the report
says, seems to be admitted on all sides. 1t
is hoped that the claim that it is reasonable
to construct deep-water canal from Oswego
to the Hudson is well founded, but this
would require many years for its execution
and cost from 10000, 900 to 500, ,000,0 600.
Pending this, the committee thinks the
great interests involved should be served
by other means, if available.
The report calls attention to the natural
outlet by way of the St. Lawrence river which
Canada has improved by the construction of
the Welland and other canals, and demon
strates the Importance to this country of
their common use by Canada and the United
States. If, says the report, the canals were
further deepened SO as to correspond with
the new $500" canal, Duluth, Milwaukee,
Chicago and Buffalo would enjoy all the
advantages of seaboard cities with reference
to foreign trade.
The report in conclusion says: s'It ap-
pears to your committee that the present
time is exceedingly opportune for urging
such action in behalf of the commerce of
the Great Lakes. 1t is reported that the
representatives of the Canadian Govern
ment will shortly arrive in this city to ne
gotiate with our Government for closer
trade relations between the two countries

charge of the bill. that copies of those docu-
ments in lots of from 100 to 1000 were fire.

stituencies, but could not be so where agri-
cultural communities were represented. He

ment, fixing the number at 500,0 With

DEALING IN FICTITIOUS PRODUCE
Denounced by the Editor of Several Well
Known Agricultural Newspapers.

Denounced by the Editor of Several Well
Known Agricultural Newspapers.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. S-The hear
ings of the House Agricultural Committee
on the anti-option bills were resumed this
morning. The first gentleman to appear
was Herbert Meyerick, of Springfield, Mass.
He is an editor of several agricultural pa
pers. This matter of dealing in fictitious
kinds of produce, he said, was one which
affected not only the producers of the South
and West, but the farmers of the North
and East; for whatever interfered with
the prosperity of one section had an
effect upon the farmers of every other. He
referred to the selling of hop futures in
New York as having bad effect and de-
pressing prices. Passing on to the question
of cotton, he stated that in the city of New
York, between September Is and January
Is, the total spot sales had amounted to
$4,000 bales This was about as much as
had been actually received. But the sales
of cotton in futures during the same period
had amounted to !, 1859, 200 bales
His arguments were replied to by j. W.
Labonisse, representing the New Orleans
Cotton Exchange, and John G. Hazard, of
the New Orleans Exchange.

OPPOSED TO FOREIGN INTERFERENCE
With the United States in the Matter of a
Monetary Conference.

Win the United states in the matter Oh
Monetary Conference.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 8.-Francis
G. Newlands to-day addressed the House
Committee ON Coinage. Weights and Meas
ures on the International Monetary Confer
ence phase of the silver question, opposing
the proposition. He reviewed the history
of the silver question, and then went on to
show why the United States should adopt
free silver coinage now, and why nothing
could be expected of Europe. All persons
realized that this was the age of ''com-
bines" and trusts. The gold nations were
the creditor nations. Those nations needed
little development and hence their accumu-
lations were invested in the development of
other countries. As the owners of money
it was to their interest to make money
valuable. The only way to do this was by
limiting its quantity. The easiest way to
do SO was by forming gold trust to pre-
vent future silver coinage. and to destroy
the legal tender quality of existing silver
money. Gold was being diminished every
day by the demands of arts and dentistry,
and it was held that the store of gold coin
was being invaded to meet these demands.
The annual product of silver was inereas-
ing slightly. The creditor nations, there
fore, secured great advantage by demon
etizing silver and thus increasing the
burden of the obligations to them. We
were wealthy nation in everything e1-
cept money; England's wealth was prin-
cipally in money. We utilized all the
money we could borrow, and owed to
Europe in national, State, municipal and
railway debts, more than the entire volume
of money existing in this country. When
ever anything occurred in Europe which
tightened their money market they called
on US to buy our obligations; we were obliged
to absorb them, for unless those obligations
were sustained there would be a general
destruction of values.

MARROW ESCAPE FROM BROWSING.
Exciting Experience of Party of Yale
Students and Their Lady Friends


Students and Their Lady friends.
New HAVEN, CONN, Feb. 8-[Special1 !
"A number of Yale students and their lady
companions had narrow escape from death
yesterday afternoon, while skating on Lake
Whitney. This place is a favorite resort
for skaters, and yesterday it is estimated
that there were fully 1900 persons on the
ice. Over in one corner of the lake party
of students and half dozen ladies were en-
joying themselves, apart from the regular
body of skaters The ice was not as thick
as in other parts of the lake, as it had been
recently cut by the ice harvesters Sudden
ly splash was heard, and the startled stu
dents looked around and saw W. j. Sackett
and Miss Lombard struggling in the water.
An unknown man came swiftly skating
down the lake, and before anyone could
warn him he had skated right through the
crowd and into the same hole.
The students threw themselves fiat on the
ice and formed rescuing line by catch
ing hold of each others skates, but six of
the students broke through and were strug-
Cling in the water. A ladder and rope were
sent for but before these arrived the stu
dents had again formed another line, and
Miss Lombard, by this time thoroughly
chilled, was rescued and taken to a nearby
house. The students were also rescued in
the same way, but the unknown man could
not be thus reached, and he was e1tricated
by means of the ladder and rope.
