GOLD COMING IN.
United States Treasury Receiving Much
for Duties.

United States Treasury Receiving Much
for Duties.
Washington, Nov. 1.-THE treasury
for the first time in several years is re-
cciving gold in considerable quantities
for custom duties. From this reason
and from the further fact previously
mentioned in these dispatches, that
gold is being withdrawn from boarding
places and deposited in the various sub
treasures, the gold balance ut the close
of business Tuesday had increased to
$122,234,s15. The present policy of the
department is to discourage the receipt
Of gold as the treasury has not on hand,
without mountaineering itself, sutti-
cient currency to exchange for all the
gold likely to be offered. The present
treasury balance is $22o,sos,ooo, Of
which Exclusive Of the $122,000,000
gold) $51,s53,oOo is in greenbacks and
$40, All 900 In Sherman notes. Only $13,-
849,0Oo of silver certificates remain in
the treasury. The continued increase
in the deficit is now engaging the at
tention Of Secretary Carlisle, and will
be treated Of by him In his annual re-
port. It Is rumored that he will recon-
mend on increase in the tax OH beer
from one to two dollars per barrel.
This proposition Is sud to be favored
by Commissioner Miller. The treasury
deficit for this month up to date-one-
third Of the month having passed-is
$4,453,ooO, making an aggregate since
July I, 1898, of 37,342,OO0.

CANADA TO PROTEST..
Win Object to the Opening Of tho
Chicago Drainage Canal
The Big Ditch Will Lower the Water In
Montrears Harbor Nearly Foot and
Seriously Affect Navigation
on the st. Lawrence.

A New York Sun special from Quebec
says: A strong protest will be made by
Canada against the opening Of the So
called Chicago drainage canal, based
upon the contention that will serious
ly affect the navigation of the st. Law
renee, especially between the ports Of
Montreal and Quebec aud in the har-
Dor of Montreal. Here there is often less
than 20 feet of water, or not sufficient
TO accommodate the largest vessels en-
gagged in Its trade. While those Cana
dian engineers who have Investigated
the matter estimate that the volume Of
water to be drawn out of the upper.
lakes by the proposed scheme will
amount TO such proportion of the en-
tire mass flowing over Niagara that it
will reduce the depth of the st. Law
renee in the harbor of Montreal by very
nearly q foot, the people Of Montreal
ore much exercised about the lack of
sufficient water in their harbor and in
the channel below, which annually pre-
vents the flag ship of the British North
American squadron from reaching
their port, and may stand in the way Of
the proposed fast transatlantic steam
ers ascending the river any further
than Quebec.
: Consequently they are taking alarm
at the proposed canal, and will doubt
less be powerful enough with the gov
eminent to secure the appointment of
q commission of competent engineers to
report officially on the subject.

Their Hands.

Chicago, Nov. 11.-Wilinm School,
alias Scharf, Harry Bauer and his wife
and Name belmont, an alleged gang of
New York shoplifters, are under arrest

robbery in the State street department
stores for more than q year, aud it is
believed to have accumulated $4,000
worth of merchandise, including furs,
jewelry, silks and all kinds of wearing
apparel. The greater portion of the
plumber has been sent to eastern cities,
where is was disposed of. School was
arrested Monday and released on heavy
bond Tuesday. Detectives shadowed
him to the rooms of his companions on
Washington street, where they arrested
the remainder OF the gang and recovered
about $500 worth of stolen goods. EN-
press receipts, showing shipments of
about $4,000 worth of property to New
York and other eastern cities within
the past two months were found in
Bauer's trunk. They claim to have
come here from New York year ago.

No Losing Of Keys Associated with This
One.
A new bicycle-loclking device has just
been patented by Mr.. w. A. Martin, q
loclsmith of No. 1875 South Halsted
street, Chicago. Mr.. Martin is col-
ored man, who has given his attention
to electrical devices for some time.
This last invention promises to work
needed reform in the field of safety
checking machines. Everyone who has
ever had anything to do with the al
legged safety" bicycle and umbrella
stands which Turk for the unwary in.
all parts of Chicago, will partially real
ize the extent of the field that lies open
for some really practical device.
The principle of all the machines now
on the market is about the same. You
place your wheel in the rack, get key,
which is supposed to unlock it, and
take your chances on getting it out.
If the'key Is lost, or for any reason-re-
fuses to work, the lock- must be broken
to release the wheel. 1t is about tho
same with the umbrella holders.
Martins device is based on an entire
~ different principle. Placing ma
chine in the holder locks 1t. To release
it, all that is necessary is to press a
button at the counter and the lock flies
open. There are no keys to become
lost or to become clogged and refuse to
work.
Technically, the key Is held in by a
spring clasp, which is held by latch
armature. BY turning light current
through a magnet in the back Of the
lock, the armature is released and tho
lock opened.

A RECENT INTERVIEW.
With DR.. Hartman, the Removed
Gatarrh Snacial1st.

Catarrh Specialist.
A ne wspaper contributor was late
ly admitted into the extensive suit of
offices which constitute the head
quarters of DR.. Hartman, who treats
catarrh patients by the thousand.
Amid the busy swarm of assistant doc
tors, clerks, stenographers and book
keepers, DR.. Hartman stopped long
enough to say few words:
1.-The number of catarrh patients
who visit me is large, but the num-
Der who are entered on my books as
regular patients (but are treated
without charge, by correspondence
is very much larger. Hundreds of
letters are received and answered free
every day: A yet greater multitude
take my catarrh remedy, Peruna and
are cured of whom l never hear.
Some Of this latter class VIZ te me
years after their cure. l never allow
name published except by the
written consent of the patient. We
make no charge at any time. The
medicine only is obtained by each
patient at his own drugstore. Those
desiring to become regular patients
have only to send address, duration
of disease and treatment previously
received, and directions for first
months treatment will be sent at
once.
"Over half the people have catarrh
in some form or another. And yet
probably not q tenth of the people
know that their disease is catarrh.
TO distinguish catarrh of various or
gans, it has been named very differ
emily. One person has dyspepsia;
another bronchitis; another Bright's
Disease; another liver complaint; an
other consumption; another female
complaint. These people would be
very much surprised to hear that
they are all suffering with chronic
catarrh. But it is SO. nevertheless
Each one of these troubles, and a
great many more, are simply catarrh
that is. chronic inflammation of the
mucous lining of whichever organ is
affected. Any internal remedy that
will cure catarrh in one location will
cure it in any other location. This is
why Pe-ru-na has become SO justly
famous in the cure of catarrhal dis
eases. 1t cures catarrh wherever 10.
Gated. Its cures remain. Pe-ru-na
does not palliate; it cures"
A catarrh book is sent free by the

pany, Columbus, Ohio. This book
contains 81 pages of reading matter
and instructive illustration.

the special privileges wrung by might

Some OF the bogus democrats who
voted the Mckinley ticket are protest.
ing against being read out of the
democratic party. After voluntarily
and deliberately marching out of the
party. there is sno reading OUT
necessary. After the barn burners
in 1913 had defeated Gen. Cass they
had like assurance and in 1850 or 81
they succeeded in getting into the
party at the Syracuse convention only
to betray it again. The writer was a
delegate in that convention and was
always proud that he voted against
their admission to the floor of that
convention.

A NOVEL COMPROMISE.

Lawyers In . Case in New York State Agree
to an Adjournment of Ten Years.
Lawyers came to novel compromise
in case before Squire Elmendorf at
Hurley, near Kingston. N. Y, the other
day. Gordon Eckert objected to Gar
rett Sutton travelling over certain lands
to reach what is known as Lockwood's
Mill, and, as Sutton refused to recognize
Eckert's right to object, summons to
appear before the squire was the con-
sequence. The case has been running
for long time.
When William d. Grinnier, counsel
for the defendant, amended his answer,
William Lounsberry, who appeared for
the plaintiff, insisted that he was not
prepared to meet the new issue and de-
manded an adjournment.
"Granted," said the justice. "To
what timer"
"Ten years." was the reply of the irate
counselor.
"1'll agree to that" called out Mr..
Grinnier.
"Then," said the justice, "be 1t un.
derstood that the case is adjourned to
August IL, 1906, at nine o'clock In the
forenoon, and members Of the jury can
depart hence to appear again promptly

matter whether they had the gold or
not - confidence would do the rest.
There were unlimited amounts of
gold boarded, buried and hidden that
were to be brought forth to the light
of day as soon as the gold standard
was assured. The gold standard has
come, but where is the gold? OF the
six hundred millions reported by Mr.
Carlisle, over two hundred millions
have gone abroad in the last two
years, as shown by the contraction
of the currency, and nearly 100000
900 is in the banks and over 500. 900,
900 in the United States treasury
Consequently there must be $l00,000,-
600 amofig the people unless the
European tourists have carried it
abroad or it has been paid out for
freights on imports. Where is it any
how? No doubt the DEBORAH bank
has gil. edge securities like the Muir
ray Hill bank of New York, but what
bank has any money to invest? OF
course the beauty of the gold staud-
ard will show up later.
