SAYS or PE-RU-MAAS FOLLOWS:

WESTFIELD, n. j., Dec. %, 1898.
Pe-ru-na, manufactured by The Pc
ru-na Drug Manufacturing Company of
Columbus, Ohio, has commended itself
to medical men and their patients as
specific for the grippe and its sequela.
1t fully approves itself for this purpose,
and is remedial for all bronchial trou-
bles. Its action is both local and con-
stitutional, and ii is entirely harmless
The distinction accorded to il belongs to
no other remedy of which we know.
W. II. MORSE.
People who have had la grippe. and
are suffering in any way from the after
effects, should take Pe-ru-na. Very few
people, indeed who have had this dis
ease, unless they took Pe-ru-na. during
the acute stage, recover entirely their
health. Diseases of the head throat
lungs and nervous system follow la
grippe as natural sequela. All such
cases will find in Pe-ru-na exactly the
remedy that is suited TO their case. 1t
invigOrates the whole system. restores
the appetite and produces natural sleep.
A book on Ia grippe. coughs. colds.
catarrh, etc, will be sent free TO any
address by The Pe-ru-na Drug Manu-
featuring Company of Columbus. Ohio.

A PREVIOUS STRANGE ILLNESS.
The Symptoms Were Similar to
Those Experienced by the
Couple on Sunday Night.

There is no longer anything mysterious
about the way in which Alice Adversely
came to her death and DR.. John j. Leek
was poisoned.
The dentist had so far recovered as to
tell his story of the affair last evening. and
it cOrroborates in every particular the ac-
count of the affair which was published
exclusively in last Wednesday morning.
CALL.
Alice Aldersley took her own life and
endeavored to put an end to that Of her
lover.
She had threatened to do so many times
unless he gave up another woman to whom
he was paying attentions and married her.
and on Sunday night she put her threat
into execution.
Some of the causes which led up to the
act have already been told. There are
others 10 be told.
Alice Adversely loved J. j. Leek and
served him as a slave. The small fortune
she possessed was placed at his disposal
and she always stood ready to answer at
his beck or call. And in return for all
this she received absolutely nothing. Leek
cared no more for her than be did for
many other of his female acquaintance.

1.-THE hand of Tammany has been STAYED
in its destructive course. and unless indi-

time is not far distant when that corrupt
and demoralizing institution will have
ceased to exist, or at least have been so
crippled that its ability to do further harm
to the interests over which it has 80 long
welded its baneful power, will have been

1.-The attention of the country has been
riveted upon the trials recently in progress
in New York. particularly that of John Y i.
McKane, the Gravesend boss. Tammany
had ruled so long that, as in the time of
Tweed. its members, or at least its leaders
and those in power, had begun to look
upon the metropolis and all that it con-
tanned as their Individual property, by
divine right. The fall of McKane was a
revelation to them. 1t came at time
when reverses were deemed impossible,

the law were thought TO be at the hehest

controversy. The letter which Navarro
answered he was going to indite for the
benefit of Ansot reached the California
Fencing Club early yesterday morning.
Ansot knew the writing and he says neve

sender. Now a question of veracity arises
right here. At the Masaniello Parish Club
it was asserted that the letter was opened
and read by the recipient, and Y. Month

certainly seemed as if it had been opened.

Chief Crowley yesterday morning de-
tailed detective Gibson to inquire in to the
cause of Leek's Illness and Miss Aldersley's
death. and Instructed him to obtain a state

for few minutes. The shot was followed by
shrek from woman, which added to the ex-

There were two men and two young girls in

private room they expected 10 be the witnesses
of tragedy. One of the men had a pistol in
his hand. but he looked as if lite was not worth
the living. The girl was supported by her
friend. while the other man rushed out for
hack. The man with the pistol, who was
Deputy Sheriff John Burns, but who wished 10
be known as George White. said IL was ali an
accident. They had all just risen TO 90 out

splendid weapon 1t was, and II Went off.
The girl, Clara Callahan. a milliner, who said
she lived at PIP Eddy street, was driven to the

that the bullet had entered her right leg below

out little above the anEle. The wound was

This is signed Palermo. June, 1888. BE-
sides this document, which absolutely es-
tablishes the Italians right TO call himself
a master of the italian school, Navarro
has high testimonials from some of the
highest officers in the various South Amer
lean armies. Colonel MariaDo Enrique
Galdos OF the Third Battalion Infantry OF

Der Is. 1898: Il hereby certify that Senior
Don Pascual Navarro has been with my

has acted TO my entire satisfaction, having
fully demonstrated his perfect knowledge

the contrary.

As both Professor Tronchet and Pro-
lessor Ansot have stated publicly that
Navarro knew nothing whatever about the
Italian mode Of fencing, reporter of The
CALL took pains to get at the bottom of
things yesterday. The result goes to show
that Navarro is a fencing-master of very
high standing indeed. He shows a di

Last week was devoted to The women of the
parish, while he present one is a seven days
mission for men. Every morning at 4:3O
o. clock the church is open. and at 5 mass Is
eel brated, after which instruction and sermon
follow. In the evenings one priest gives in
struction and the other breaches.
There was not a vacant seat In st. Brdget's
last night when Father Brady preached on
intemperance. Immediately before the sermon
cards containing a total abstinence pledge
were distributed throughout the cOngr- CATION.
With each card was a coupon, and these will
be tak en- up this evening from men who. after
elaboration. may have signed the pledge.
Father Brady'S discourse was a practical
sermon appealing 10 the Intelligence of his
hearers, although it was illustrated by more
than one powerfully dramatic anecdote. He
dwet on the evils resulting from excessive in
diligence In liquor, that it undermnes the in

said, "was why The passion for liquor leads to
every other form of sin, crime and abomina-
ton. The habitual drunkard is more or less of
a suicide before God, and he is little better
than the man who blows his brains out with
revolver"
Another side of the question was what he
termed the very alarming physical effects OF In
temperance. "FOr a thousand years." said the
preacher, lit has been canODlZed law in the
Catholic church that no man whose father or
mother was a drunk ard can be ordained a
minister of the church at the altar"
Turning to the social aspects he told how
drunkenness is great evil, and In this regard
to use his own words, "the habitual drunkard
is a wreck, a castaway, libel on humanity"

the Paulist fathers will give a relrea at 10 ladies

they stand aghast, each wondering what
the next developments will be and who
will be involved.
zone thing which troubles Tammapy at
present is that its guilty members do not
know whom they can trust. and they stand
in mortal fear lest some one on the inside
who is possessed of secrets which would
prove invaluable TO the prosecution will
seek to save himself by throwing over
some of his companions in guilt. The New
York papers are pointing to the present
heglra as an indication of the troubled con-
sciences and a disposition TO fee from the
wrath to come.
Mr.. Reid thinks that tie outlook for
Republican successes both in the coming
State elections and in the next national
contest have never been SO bright. He
spoke of the election of Congressman
at-large Calusha F. Grow in Pennsylvania
by majority almost reaching 100000, and
added that it was but one of The many in
dications of what was to come.
1.-THE people are just now having a good
opportunity to indulge in meditation and
prayer" said Decentralization upon their
past political sins and mistakes, and
prayer for forgiveness of their errors"
Touching upon the outlook in national
affairs, as regards who will probably lead
the Republican hosts, Mr.. Reid was some
what guarded in his remarks. He spoke
glowingly Of Mckinley as man and as a
statesman, and from the general tenor of
his remarks the inference was drawn that
be would favor the nomination of the gen.
tleman named.
"McKin ley" said he. sin some respects
resembles Blaine, in that he appears to have
the same personal magnetism in a large de-
gree which made the latter for some years
The idol of his party. The people have uD-
dOubtedly taken Mckinley into their
hearts, and unless unforeseen difficulties or
distractions should come to the surface
before the summer of 1886 his opponents
will find him a hard man to successfully
meet in convention"
MI. Reid thinks a new political era is
dawniBg in the South. due to manufacture
ing interests springlng up all over that
section. and the realization by those en-
gagged in that liue of business that in pro-
lection lies the only salvation for those in
dustries.
I'VE see in proceedings in Congress-" he
continued, "a disposition among some OF
the Democratic members to break away
from the bed-ridden ideas of the past and
embrace the truths which have been de-
mOnstraIed as such by every test TO which
they have been subjected, and through
which they have successfully passed.
These changes are due to a disposition
on the part of the American citizens. when
they discover wrong, to seek the cause
therefor. The Republican party has never
suffered from discussion of its principles,
and all the educational tendencies of poll
tics to-day point to a restoration of that
party 20 power and return to the peace
ful and plenteous days which we enjoyed
