HOLIDAY THOUGHTS.
The Counsel Of a Physician of Rips

The basis Of all enjoyment is health.
Without health no holiday can be a
pleasure. Holidays bring happiness to
only those whose health " i'll permiG them
to enjoy. A holiday Is simply an oppor-
tunity to be happy. But without health
no one can be happy. We need, first,
health, then the opportunity, and hap
piless is sure to come. Health Is q per-
fect adjustment to ones surroundings.

the frequent and rapid changes If a
winter climate, is practically impossible
for nest people. For those whose vigCr
is not equal to the task, Pe-ru-na is ex-
actly suited. 1t absolutely protects from
t king cold. 1t strengthens the nerves.
1t increases the digestive powers. 1t
invigoIates the circulation Of blood. 1t
is the only specific cure for colds, coughs,

1t is certain.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-The action Of
the Columbian authorities in OBTAINING
the American schooner Whitford nearly
three weeks last spring, at Colon, may
be made the basis for correction of
many of the petty official annoyancCs
and illegal obstacles that have been
thrown in the way of American ship.
ping merchants doing business in the
Spanish main.
AT least assurance has been given to
persons interested in the Whitford that
the state department will move ener.
getically in that direction. Leopold
Schepp, a New York merchant, and
owner of the Whitford, with his attor
ney, Alfred II. Seligsberg, called at the
department and laid the facts in the
Whitford's case before the officials.
They told how the schooner was seized
at Porto Cabello under suspicion of car
rying arms and ammunition how upon
search being made without success for
these the Colombian officials asserted
that the manifest of the vessel was
wrong, and how they carried her to
| Colon and detained her there for lS
uBdlubb Jht IIOJCSJ vi IIb OWUtIS.
United States Consul Pearcey, who is
in Washington on leave, corrOborated
these statements. In addition Mr..
Schepp said that since the departure of
the Whitford from Colon the authori-
ties had trumped up charge against
| Captain Hendricks and had him in
dicted under an obsolete regulation for
failing to stop at Colon on his way t.
Porto Cabello.
He asserted that American trade had
been systematically harrassed in this
fashion and Disseminated against, as il
was noticeable that none of the English
and German ships were mOlested. Mr.
Schepp therefore claimed the protection
of tho state department for himself
and for other United States merchants
engaged in trade i'll the south. Mr.
Schepp said that it required only firm
front on the part of our government &c
secure this treatment for our shipping,
such stand for example as had beer
shown in 1887 by Secretary Tracy when
he sent warships to the Caribbean tc
prevent just such illegal interference
with American shipping in the Spanish
main. So far no claim for indemnity
in the case of the Whitford has beer
lodged, but the state department il
giving the matter earnest attention.

When her name was called deep silence
fell upon the aSsemblage. The widow
rose with great dignity and speaking in
voice shaking with emotion she said /:
"You have insisted upon my presence

Indignation she exclaimed pointing to
the alleged murderers of her husband /:
"Acquit these miserable people.
Summon before you the really guilty
men, who are at present the govern
ment. 1 have nothing to add aud
