MGR. KEANE TO RETURN.
Archbishop Will Spend Some Months
in the United States.

New York, Feb. 25.-Private advices
from Rome state that Archbishop
Keane is preparing to leave for the
United States in March. His health has
not been good Of late, and the arch
bishop has been compelled to decline q
pressing invitation to preach a Lenten
retreat to the women of Rome, and to
shirk other engagements. In all prob
ability Mgr. Keane will come to the
United States in company with Arch
bishop Ireland.
1t has been customary for Mgr. Keane
to visit the United States annually to
attend the sessions of the directors of
the Catholic university, in Washington,
in October. This year his visit, accord
ing to late advices from Rome, is to be
utilized for the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the
university. Mgr. keane has been asked
to speak all over the United States on
behalf of the university and to devote
to this purpose the early and middle
summer and autumn Of 1899 1t is pos
sible that he may not return to Europe
until late in the winter.
That Archbishop Keane is to return
to the Catholic university, however, to
again undertake the direction of its af-
fairs may be set down as an exaggera-
ton. No such announcement has been
made by anyone authorized to speak
on this point.
The fact is that the Catholic bishops
would not support Archbishop Keane
as the directing head Of the university
They are glad enough to avail them
selves of his services, however, in So
Letting endowments for the university
and that is the mission to which Mgr
keane has been assigned. His stay
in the United States will be limited by
the measure of his success in this direc-
ton.
Friends of Archbishop Keane who
have cherished the hope that he would
be restored to power at the Catholic
university will realize after reading the
papal encyclical how impossible such
restoration is in the present circum-
stances. The pope's letter on "Ameri-
canism" as a severe blow to the liberal
wing of the Catholic church and is so
interpreted by Catholic authorities.

immediate invigorating effect in such
cases is shown in the following letter
from Mrs. Fannie West, president OF
the South Side Relief society of Chi
cago. The letter is dated December Il,
1898:

of for building up the nervous system

many of the peculiar ailments of wo-
men is poverty of the blood. Paleness,
thinness of body and weakness are evil
dences of poor blood. In some cases
palpitation of the heart is complained
of and when the poverty is greatest,
the lips are pa1lid and the tongue almost
cOlorless.
In these cases of anaemia il Paine's
celery compound is used the gain from
day to day is plainly noticeable. Its
tonic effect in renewing the blood and
restoring the strength has been little
short of miraculous in cases of extreme
emaciation and nervous prostration.
If a woman feels that she is losing
ground in weight and strength she
should set about increasing the blood
supply at once with the aid of Paine s
celery compound
Give this greatest of all remedies a
trial.

BOUGHT HIS OWN HORSE.
Farmer Jordanes Was Trapped Into
Purchasing His Own Castaway.

New York, Feb. 25.-"Wanted-A
horse; no horse Jockeys need apply.
Joseph Jordanes."
This advertisement gave a cIew to
the story of how James Jordanes of
Vine1and, N. J., was "bunkoed" for the
first time in his life. He has a room pa
pered with greengoods literature, but a
pair of horse jockeys cheated him in
such an ingenious way that he is tear
ing out his hair SO fast that he will soon
need wig.
Jordanes is a very kind man. He all
ways puts his horse to bed at shutdown
The other day he awoke to the fact
that his family steed was % years old
and should be put out of his misery. So
he gave a local jockey 81 to do the job.
The jockey, who Is an artist in his
line, dyed the horse black and shaved
him close. Then he gave him doses of
red pepper, arsenic and whisky, until he
jumped about like a year old and
showed violent symptoms of becoming a
rapid trotter.
Farmer Jordanes, about this time ad-
vertised for a horse to take the place of
the departed one, and the jockey sent a
friend up to him with the renewed and
doctored DObbins. The dealer was an
eloquent talker, and dilated so much on
the merits of the animal that the farm
er hurriedly paid $40 for him before the
price should be raised.
Farmer Jordanes never saw such an
intelligent steed for a stranger in his
life He knew the way to the stable at
once and learned where the things to
eat were without being told. He wagged
his tail when any members of the fam
lily approached as If he had known
them all his life, and seemed to have
just the same spirit and tastes as his
predecessor.
When the farmer had daubed himself
all over with the black dye and OBJ
served how thoroughly the horse knew
his way about his suspicious were
aroused. After the stimulating things
the horse had taken wore off the old
horse lay down in his stall and refused
to do anything but sleep. Later, the
discovery was made by the farmer that
he had been duped. He has locked up
the old horse until he gets new one,
so that by no combination of circum-
stances may he be tricked into buying
him again

GIRL VS.. GUINEA PIG.
New York Humane Society Favors
the Animal

New York, Feb. 25.-An argument is
now going on between the Society for
the Prevention Of Cruelty to Animals
and the health department as to which
is Of more value, the life Of a guinea
pig or the fear of mind of a human be-
ing. -
Judging by a recent action, the soci-
ETY. Is strongly in favor of the guinea
pig.
During the mad dog scare on Staten
Island on February 4 a 14-year-old girl
was bitten by a dog supposed to be suf-
time was foaming at the mouth, besides
presenting other indications of being
mad. 1t was finally captured, and, to
determine whether it was mad, placed
in solitary confinement. 1t lived for
three days and then suddenly died.
The report at once went forth that
the animal had died from rabies. A post
mortem examination, however, proved
that the animal had died from worms
in it's heart. This examination did not
satisfy the young girl. She worried and
worried about her wound and told her
parents that she knew she was going
to die from hydrophobia. She refused
to eat and could not sleep. She worried
so much that she soon became a nerv-
Gus wreck. In despair her parents call
ed DIR. Cabot, the bacteriologist of the
health department.
DR.. Cabot knew of only one manner in
which he could prove to the girl that
the dog had not been mad, and that was
by obtaining part of the dogs spinal
cord and making several incubation
tests on guinea pigs. She said that this
proof would satisfy her as to whether
the dog had died from rabies.
Accordingly he asked the society for
a portion of the medulla and spinal cord
of the dog. The society was willing I'M
til it learned that the doctor intended
to inoculate guinea pigs. Then it refused
on the ground that it would be cruelty
to animals.

PETERS PRODIGALITY.
Throwing Money Away at a Rate
That Alarms His Relatives.

Washington, Feb. 25.-The members
of the firm of the Norrts-Peters Co,
o-1ithographers of this city, VIII
mington, Del, and New York, have
been very much disturbed recently by
the receipt Of drafts for large amounts
drawn by Eugene Peters of that firm,
and by the reported doings Of Peters in
Hot Springs, Ark, and New Orleans.
Drafts aggregating a large sum have
been received at a local bank, drawn by
Eugene Peters within the past few
days.
Peters is 46 years old. and went to
Hot Springs, Ark, two months ago,
taking with him a large sum of money.
He has always been or a quiet d1SpOSl-
ton His annual income from his share
in the immensely wealthy Norris-Peters
Co. is said to be in the neighborhood of
$4,000. This he has not expended and
a large sum of money remains to his
credit in a local bank. Two weeks ago
Daniel Fraz ier the local member Of the
firm mailed to Eugene Peters upon the
latter's request, check for $1,000 to
Hot Springs. Two days ago he received
a second request from Peters for $1,000.
In the meantime Peters aunts, Mrs.
Garrett and Miss Hanna, of Whining
ton, Del, had received a. letter from
DR. Holland stating that Peters was
behaving in the most extravagant man
ner, and was throwing money away.
His expenses, the physician said, ran
to $500 a day.
The Peters family are Quakers, and
their ancestors came over with William
Penn. This report of their nephews
doings greatly worried the Wilmington
aunts Measures will be taken to stop
all possible drafts for the present from
Mr. Peters. His relatives have learned
that he had been actually throwing
money away at Hot Springs. 1t was
his practice, it is alleged, to buy num-
her of silk hats and throw dollars at
them for amusement, and he is said to
have presented a bunch of gamblers,
who were dead broke, with a free gift
of $500 each.
Recently telegram from the chief of
police of New Orleans to Maj. Sylves-
ter asked if there was Eugene Peters,
of the Norris-Peters Co. 1t was stated
that Eugene Peters was throwing
money around in such a fashion that its
source was the subject of police inquiry.

he pulled out several hundred shares
of Pullman stock and showed them at
the local superintendent to back up his

created some excitement at the Grune-

to explain his action he said the boy
