Pierce, the celebrated specialist in diseases
OF women at Buffalo, N. Y. 1t is a strictly
temperance. medicine, containing neither
alcohol, opium or other narcotic poison.
1ts protracted use does not create a craving
for Intoxicating stimulants or deadly mar
cotics. 1t cures irregularities, displace-
1ments, drains, alterations, Inflammation,
headache, backache and nervousness. II
prepares the way for almost painless ma
ternity, and insures robustness to the new
born. II cures women at home, and does
away with obnoxious questioning and local
examinations.
Some medicine dealers offer substitutes
when You ask for DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. They initiate this medicine
in appearance as nearly as the law will
allow, but they cannot initiate its record
of thirty years of cures.

Commissioner Brady of the depart

Buildings should be So constructed that
when a fire broke out on the second or
third floors the floors above could be
shut off from the fire and be practically
tireproof so flames could not reach them.
This, he said. should not only be
adopted, but other things should also
be considered. Alarms should be placed
in each room. Watchmen should pa
troll the Railways at all hours and the
hotels should be provided with the most
improved appliances for fighting fire.

ARCHBISHOP CHAPELLE.
Chosen Apostolic Delegate for the
Philippine Islands.

WASHINGTON, Sept 26.-The an
nouncement that Archbishop Chapelle
of New Orleans has been chosen Apos-
tolic Delegate for the Philippines at
tracts much attention in official and
clerical circles The position has been
vacant up to this time, and owing to
the large property interests of the
church in the Philippines, the official
status it occupied under Spain ana
the influence of clergy over the natives,
it has been regarded as an important
factor in construction.
About a year ago the Pope nameo
Archbishop Chapelle as Apostolic Dele
gate for Cuba and Porto Rico, but no
appointment was made for the Philip
pines, and the Archbishop of Manila
had continued to- exercise jurisdiction,
dealing directly with Rome. In view
of the latters former strong pro-Span-
ish views, his cooperation with the
United States military authorities AT
Manila has been the source of much
satisfaction to the church authorities
here. But it is felt that the presence
of a delegate in this country, author
lied to act for the Vatican, will permit
more direct cooperation on the ques-
tionS which are constantly arising.
Under Spanish rule the Archbishop
of Manila was a government ofnclal'
receiving $4,000 annually, while four
Bishops at the head of the diocese con,
stituting the island received Sb,ooO.
This status no longer exists and the
church officials are maintained out OIL
the church resources. 1t is expected
that Archbishop Chapelle's appointment
will permit a reorganization OF the
church system of the islands, based on
changed conditions.

clergymen, denying them the right to
land at this port. The decision an
nounces that the lines of the Exclusion
Act must be followed to the strict let
ter, which permits only merchants,
students and tourists for pleasure" to
enter the United. States. Acting So
licitor of the Treasury II. A. Reeves,
who wrote this decision makes so close
a distinction that the local bureau Off
cials are of the opinion that the ruling
will prohibit doctors, lawyers and
teachers and all other professional per-
sons from being landed.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Relating to Chatte1 Mortgage on
a Herd Of Sheep.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 70. The
Supreme Court has rendered decision
that is important to sheep raisers IN
general.
Fl. l.. Borgwardt gave a chattel mort
gage on a herd of sheep in Kern Coun-
ty, the mortgage to cover the increase
thereof" The mortgagor sheared the
sheep, and the mortgage claimed the
wool Suit was brought for its recoV-
cry, but the lower court ruled agalnst
the mortgage.
The Supreme Court, in affirming the
judgment, has laid down the law tnat
the "incraese" of a herd of sheep or
cattle, or other domestic anlmals,
means the young of such animals, and
cannot apply to the wool in question
any more than the chattel mortgage
of dairy would cover the butter ana
cheese to be hereafter produced. How
ever, a mortgagor may provide for the
conversion of the wool, if all parties
agree to it in the mortgage.
