It is a home treatment and all men who suffer with any form of sexual weakness resulting from youthful folly. premature loss of strength and memory, weak back, varico- cele. or cancellation of parts can now cure themselves at home.
 The remedy has a peculiarly grateful effect of warmth and seems to act direct to the desired location giving strength and development just where it is needed If cures all the ills and troubles that come from years of misuse of the natural Functions and has been an absolute sue cess in all cases. A request to the State Medical Institute, 193 First National Bank Ruilding. Fort Wayne, Ind. stating that you desire one of their free trial pack ages will be complied with. The institute is desirous of reaching that great class of men who are unable to leave horne to he treated and the free sample will en- able them to see how easy it is to be cured of sexual weakness when the nroper remedies are employed. The in- stiti1te makes no restrictions. Any man who writes will be sent a free sample, carefully sealed in a plain package so that it's recipient need have no fear of embarrassment or publicity. Readers are requested to write without delay.

contesting His Wife's Will.

The contest over the probabing of the will of the late Mrs. Angelina R. ScotI was begun yesterday before Judge Cof- fey. The decedent left an estate valued at about $500, 900, and in her will practic- ally disinherited her husband. The con testant, E. w. Scott, claims that his wife at the time she made the will was not of sound or disposing mind. There is quite an array of legal talent interested in the contest and the trial promises to be stub- bornly fought
 The first witness called yesterday was taefifed tbs+ r ot+ ,, ~lto edly jealous of her husband and in ad- dressing him used language that is not generally heard in family circles. She at times acted as If her mind was affected. The conclusion drawn by the witness from the actions and language of the de- cedent was that she was not sane for several years prior to her death
 The trial will be resumed to-day, when additional testimony will be produced to show that Mrs Scott was not of sound or disposing mind when the will was draw

Men and women doctor their troubles so often without benefit that they get discouraged and skeptical. In most such cases serious mistakes are made in doctoring and in not knowing what our trouble is or what makes us sick. The unmistakable evidences of kidney trouble are pain or dull ache in the back, too frequent desire to pass water, scanty supply, smarting irritation. As kidney disease advances the face looks sallow or pale, puffs or dark circles under the eyes, the fee- swell and sometimes the heart acts badly. Should further evidence be needed to find out the cause of sickness, then se+ urine aside for twenty-four hours; if there is sediment or settling it is also con- vinc1ng proof that our kidneys and bladder need doctoring. A fact often overlooked is that women suffer as much from kidney and bladder trouble as men do.

pense would be defrayed by the Paulist priests themselves. but this Father Yorke, as the head and representative of the Truth Society, refuses to allow and will award the necessary money from the treasury of the organization. It is hoped that in the coming year reading rooms of this character may be established in all parts of the city for the instruction and pasime of young men wishing to go somewhere to pass their evenings and who at present are from the lack of this advantage compelled to frequent low re- sorts as the only, possible means Of amusement. It Is the purpose of the so- ciety to have the rooms accessible for both Catholics and non Catholics.
 We have those outside our church, within it who must be redeemed. We have to save them and unless we try at least to save them their blood is upon
 The convention was opened by Frank J. Pierce, who delivered the introductory address. This address was followed by paper on the subject of How to Use Tracts which was read by Father Pow CTS and afterward discussed by J. J. Ter nan
 The essay on the mental attitude of non-Cathohcs toward the Catholic church, written by Judge E. w. McKinstry, was an eloquent discussion on the hostility la tent and expressed which non-Catholics express toward those of the true faith. MT. Mckinstry stated that the hostility existed generally in those who occupied pulpits. The treatise was read by Father Yorke, as Judge McKinstry was unable to attend, and was discussed by Rev. c. A. Ryan.
 Father Ryan in his exposition of the subject attacked the question of early prejudice against the church and Catho- lies generally, and the traditional preju- dices which had been handed down to the modern non-Catholic mind. He traced the bigotry of the middle ages from the time of Elizabeth and Mary, and spoke of the absurdlty of PrOteStantS holding the Catholics of the present day responsible for what was done then with due refer ence to the bigoted reign of Protestant Elizabeth a daughter of the same much married King who also claimed Mary as his daughter. Setting aside the early reigns of kings and princes, he traced the subject to the present day and showed the existing ideas modern non-CathollcS have of Catholicism.
 The discussion, although based upon motive of seriousness, however afforded many opportunities for the eloquent speaker to engage in flashes of wit, in expounding the idea of the Protestant conception of the Catholic ritual and It's teachings.
 The convention was closed by. the sing ing of hymn by the entire congregation.
 An annual meeting of the society will be held toward the end of the present year and reports of the money received into the organization during the year and the work done will be forwarded.
 The influx of new members into the society during the past year exceeded the most sanguine expectations of Father

 IS CLOSED Work of the Truth So- ciety During the Past
 Year. Father Yorke Speaks Of the Bright Prospects of the
 Future. The Society Will Again Convene the Last Part of the Present
 Year.

T think that all is possible to those who place their trust in God-there was never anything begun in the world that did not look dark at the beginning"
 The above words by Father Yorke brought the annual convention of the Catholic Truth Society to an end last evening at Metropolitan Temple The eminent preacher outlined the successful work of the society accomplished in the past year and upheld the great principles upon which the organization rests-to spread and disseminate Catholic doctrine and belief among Catholics as well as non-Catholics.
 Among the work to be attempted the coming year the paramount effort will be directed toward assisting the Paulist community in establishing a sailors home on Mission street. which will be equipped and provided with literature of all kinds of a standard as well as ephem- eral nature. The amount necessary for the erection of. the home is estimated at $10O0 This amount, with but a small fraction lacking, is in the treasury of the society but it IS hoped that in the near future the entire amount may be raised.
 It was originally intended that the ex-
