CARING for the CLERGY.

One of the busiest places at present is the
clergy bureaus of the Central Passenger As
ISOLATION. The force has been considerably
increased to expedite business. Last year
over $1,000 clergymen's permits were issued
and already 10000 applicants are in for 1899
The Indications are that many more will
be issued for 1899 than last year. While every
possible precaution is taken to prevent per-
sons not fully entitled to them from secur-
Ing clergy permits al the same time the
way is made easy for those who are entitled
TO them. Before the organization of the
clergy bureau 1t was necessary for a minis
ter to get a special permit from every rail-
road over which he had to travel, and it
often happened that he was unable for
various reasons to secure them over some
roads, and was compelled to pay fun fare
Now a clergyman can get one permit which
will be honored by all the railroads travers-
ing eastern and southern Illinois. Indiana,
Ohio. Michigan, northwestern Pennsylvania
and the southwestern. part of New York.
The clergy bureau Of the Western Pas
senger Association issues a permit hon
ored by all Western roads.

CHICAGO, Dec. 23-The Western headquarters
of Arbuckle & Co. to-day announced another cut
in the price OF refined sugar. Quotations of 5.14c
per pound were made the retail dealers direct,
jobbers being ignored as in yestrday's cut This
is about 3-16c below the American Sugar Refining
Company's price. The reduction in prices made
by the Arbuckles has not been met by the trusts.
When asked to-day the reason for selling to re-
tailers direct instead Of dealing with jobbers the
Arbuckle Company representatives said their
prices had not been recognized in the trust form
combine. There a strong feeling as far as
1obbers were concerned, but whether the practice
of dealing with the retailers would be continued
had not been decided.

Nothing demoralizes the health
sooner or more completely than even
the occasional loss Of sleep. To start
a new day with the brain iinrefreshed
is like trying TO keep worn out horse
up to his work with the whip instead
ofby feeding. The incessant brain
activity is as if the skull were laid
bare and the surface OF the brain were
struck lightly every few seconds and
without sign ofa s'let up.'
Thus sleeplessness iniperceptibly,
but no less surely, destroys the brain
cells that are the sources Of mental
power and the health Of every organ
Of the body.
Paine 8 celery compound gets the
nervous systelifsout Of this dangerous
rut Of sleeplessness. 1t supplies
nourishment to the nervous tissues
faster than they are worn out, and
does not let the nutrition Of these deli
cate parts get low enough to bring on
insomnia.
Cne ofthe earliest evidences of the
final success of Paine's celery COM
pound in curing debility, nervousness,
sleeplessness and arrangements of
liver and kidneys is the increased ap-
petite, the clearer skin, and that inde-i
scribable precursor of health, feeling

thereby clinchiDg his claim to- the title
OF professional billiard champion Of
the world. Tie resent tournament
was won by Slosson after remarkabl
series. Ives and Scbaefer were clo-e
seconds, ana many people think it was
more run OF luck than superior play
ing that won the championship for
Slosson. Soon after the tourney was
ended the champion was challenged
BY both Ives and Schaefer, but the
latter's challenge was in first and coz
'sequently must be decided first. The
fact that Ives and Schaefer have since
played match In Chicago resulting.
in draw, has given increased interest
to the controversy over the respective
merits Of the three big men Of the bill
lard world, and as consequence the
result OF the game to night Is awaited
with great interest by levers Of the
game. The terms of the game call for
GOO points up, eighteen inch balk line,
one shot in balk and one in the an
ctor space. The winner j will
receive $500 and the championship
title, which in all probability he will
be called upon to defend against Ives
before many weeks have elapsed.
