tho directors OF the Moulin Rouge and the
Jardin de Paris have approached Miss Fuller
on their knees. Offering any salary she would

Ivetta has been driven to her wits end In or
der to devise a fresh indecency that will keep
her audiences from deserving in q body to the
shrine OF the American.
1t is agreeable to note that in this sudden
renown Miss Fuller has not lost her head.
She has had successes before this latest
triumph. Berlin recently was delirious over
her. prior to which she made a sensation In
New York. and at an earlier period she was q
figure Of renown on the London stage. AL
though scarcely 30 years OF age Loie Fuller
has earned celebrity and large salaries In the
foul great capitals OF the world. What she
does with her money is a problem that no one
has been able to solve, She has no hobbies.
no extravaGances no diamonds. no dogs. no
horses. no dependenthusband or family to sup

modest. While she WAS in this city she lived
inexpensively in Forty fifth street. near Sixth
avenue. In Paris her lodgings are cheap. as
they were in Berlin and London. Loie Full

her expenses are under 500. How she in

argument.
Similar Cases by the Thousand.

The efficacy of Pe-ru-na in the cure of
chronic catarrh of long standing can
not be told in greater elOqueuce or more
convincing argument than by simply
making extracts from letters received
from grateful patients. The following
interesting extracts from correspond
ence with Mr.. Peter Hattenberger, of
POrterfield, Wis, tell their own story:

Gentlemen: | have been suffering with
chronic catarrh about niDe years. and it
has now settled on my lungs and have
all the symptoms of consumption.

advised, and | feel great deal better
The cough has nearly left me, ami my
appetite is getting better every day, and

and my skin is getting white. The ca
tarrh in my head still troubles me so
much that l get almost crazy.

1t is to Pe-ru-na that he owes the life
and health which he enjoys today, with
out the shadow of doubt. Thousands
of similar cases are cured every year.

ALEANING TOWER.
An Ancient Relic to Be Pulled
Down.

The Tore Nueva, or new tower, Of
Saragossa, is to be pulled down. This
tower rivals that famous one at Pisa in
its inclination from the perpendicular.
1t has gone so far in the four centuries
since its erection that it has become
dangerous and is now in course Of dem
clifton.
The tower was built In the market
place Of Saragossa, known as the Plaza
San Felipe, in 1904. and at the time the
workmen began tearing it down leaned
ten feet out of the perpendicular. III
general style the tower is Moorish, yet
coarser in detail than the genuine Sara
Genie architecture of Spain. The fact
that it was dangerous was reason
enough for pulling it down. but it
should have been rebuilt on a proper
foundation, not totally destroyed.
The tower before demolition began
was 230 feet high. The walls for the
first two stages on the leaning side were
Is feet thick, and Oh the opposite side
12 fel thick. The extra thickness on
the south, or leaning side, was made in
1860. The central staircase is II feet
wide, and is built in closed we'll to the
top OF the structure, The tower is AZ
feet wide at the base, diminishing to 80
feet at the top. With the destruction Of
this old watch-toweI SaragosSa loses,
next to the relics Of the Inquisition, its
greatest curiosity.
