Poisoned.

Mr.. W B. Creecy, of 1887 II St ne,
wholesale and retail dealer in paper, is
one OF Washington's most prominent self
made men, and though young in years has
established a business that older men
would be proud of. His hustling reli-
able, energetic methods are widely known.
4 short time ago he noticed that it
required more force of mind and will
power than formerly 10 attend to his af-
fairs. His business. instead of being
pleasure, became a burden. This was so
unusual that he realized that there was
something wrong, and in talking 10 a
friend who had taken the Cowden- Riegel
treatment he was advised TO call and con-
suit these physicians. II was then, for
the first time. that he realized that he was
suffering from the effects of Catarrh. After
a few weeks treatment he has the follow
ing TO say:
Il did not know what was the matter
with me. / felt dull listless. and irrita-
bic. l could not sleep, and little things
worried me. had no idea my trouble was
Catarrh until was advised by a friend
Of mine, who had been cured. to take the
Cowden Riegel method of treatment, and
ii was only after a most thorough exam
ination and careful consideration of my
symptoms that these physicians pronounc-
ed my case one of Catarrh poisoning. My
symptoms were numerous. My nose
Noulu sup up, anu IL Was Only WIN the
greatest difficulty that / could breathe in
warm room. / would have TO go out
into the open air TO get my breath. Could
not sleep well. and felt nervous. Ny bust
ness no longer interested me. / had no
ambition. My digestion was bad / had
TO hem and hawk TO clear my throat. and
wake up in the night to clear my throat
OF thick, heavy Shiny material. Would
sleep with my mouth open, and il be-
came dry and parched.
As the treatment progressed these symp-
toms began TO subside gradually until at
the present time, ! feel like my old self
again, and ] believe now what these Doc
tors told me when / first saw them, that
Catarrh was the source of my trouble and
that il had poisoned my blood and irritated
my nervous system. Ny nose does not
stop up any more, and / feel comfortable
both In warm room and out doors. Sleep
well and get up feeling refreshed in the
morning. My mind is quite tranquil. Busi-
ness is pleasure. Headaches are gone
Drowsy, sleepy feeling subsided. In fact,
there has been an absolute change for the
better in my case. / feel as well now as
ever did in my life. Strong, well. and
has been to me. So much so, in fact that
really feel it my duty TO recommend this
treatment 10 all who have this miserable
disease. There were no harsh measures
adopted. The whole method was of a mild
character, and can scarcely realize, when
look back upon my condition. and COM
pare II with my present feeling, that
seeming insignificant disease can, in such
manner, change a mans whole life. II

New York Cotton Market.
Fined for Selling Robins.

W. NJ. Moreland, a game and fish dealer,
was arraigned in the Police Court yester-
day, charged with the sale OF twelve rob-
ins in violation of the game law. Deputy
Game Warden Zeller appeared as the eom-
plainant and Moreland entered plea OF
guilty. His attorney stated in defence
that the birds had been shipped to More
land without solicitation and had arrived
minus heads and plumage. They were con-
tained in barrel of fish. The attorney
further stated that his client was not in
the habit Of selling such birds.
Judge Scott in disposing of the case said
that he thought that a man who would
shoot robins should be subjected to
heavier fine than the law provided for and
characterized the war on the birds as an
outrage. In view of the circumstances.
he imposed the only penalty provided, 81
for each bird.

The Federal Steel and the Steel and Wire

with any spirit at any time during the day,
were nevertheless on the whole the most
buOyant features of the market. The com
mon Federal Steel declined a point or
more at one time, but closed trihe
higher than the opening. The preferred
stock held its own, hut made no gains.
Wire common declined. a half point net
for the day, and the preferred declined
fractionally. 1t is probable that there is
more long buying of these stocks than of
any others on the list. The feeling con-
tinues that these ndustrials will be the

from the opening. St. Paul closed near
129, and Rock Island at III "a. There was
IN the early part of the day an advance o.
some spirit in Burlington, but it was all
lost later. The bad showing of the road
in earnings had much to do with the pes
simism shown by the traders. 1t seems
probable that not more than bare per
cent will be earned on the stock for the
year. ST. Paul, on the other hand, was
weak also. although its earnings have
been the best made by any Of the railroads,
The latter stock is stubbornly held by

figures, in the belief that it will not de-
cline much further and must advance well

The action of the stock market yesterday
was disappointing to the bulls. If, indeed,
the day should not be considered distinct
triumph for the bear element. Prices,
with slight rallies at times, tended down
ward all day and the close showed losses
for nearly all stocks varying from a frac-
ton to three points. The market was quiet
and largely professional, with some selling
of long stock. The bulk of the trading
was in few stocks that are being manipu-
lated by cliques, but even in these there
was little strength. The resignation OF
the Spanish ministry was reported by the
bears to have created apprehension in Of
fGial circles in this city of delay in the
settlement with Spain, and although, per
haps, very little attention should have been
paid to such gossip, 1t undoubtedly helped
TO push prices down. The tendency of the
money market 10 harden was also an un-
favorable influence. The bull leaders were
apparently willing that the market should
sell on, and some of them were quoted as
saying that a period of rest would be vel
come. So progressed and ended day from
which many of the optimistic had hoped
great things on account of the apparent
final settlement of all doubts as 10 the at
titude of Germany. The deduction TO be
drawn from all these matters seems TO be
that people are for the moment bearish
and inclined to sell stocks. no matter what
the news may be. II is difficult to see
where the relief from the strain is to come.
The bull leaders like Mr.. Flower might
turn the tide. but they do not seem dis
posed to do so for the present.
There were few features in the market.
and on the whole it was one of the most
uninteresting in many weeks Almost with
out exception prices shaded off all day,
with few sharp rallies. In some ways
Atchison preferred was a feature in the
amount of heavy selling that II was sub
jected to. Keene was said to have sold 90
600 shares of the stock and many stop orders
were reached. The price went of, but
only fractionally, the close being at 81
There is a disposition in many quarters TO
believe that the bottom has nearly If not
quite, been reached in this stock. The de-
cline has been an even five points, which
is equal TO the recent downward movement
after the big January rise. The earnings
OF the road are now acknowledged to be
fine. Notwithstanding the disposition of the
bears at first to call them unsatisfactory

Rubber yesterday declined TO near tbs
level before the blizzard.

The feature of the day was perhaps
decline in the price Of the stocks OF the
Metropolitan and the Columbia Railways.
Metropolitan stock was sold at 220 after
226 had been paid on the day before. No
Columbia stock changed hands on the ex-
change but the bid was reduced to Ill.
The decline was due to the publication of
an unfounded statement that the sale of
the two roads is not in contemplation and
will not take place. Brokers who had
bought the stocks at the recent high fig
ures became frightened at this story, and
sold out at whatever prices were offered.
People who knew that the sale is, on the
contrary, almost consummated, did not
care TO pay more for the stock than was
necessary.
