better medicine on earth than Pe~ru-na,
for catarrh. 1t has cured me. IT
would take a volume TO tell you all
the good it has done me- Pe-ru-na is
the best catarTh cure on earth, and |
know, for ! have tried nearly all OF
them. Respectfully,
Buck +. Taylor"
Winter weather causes catarrh. Ev-
erybody knows this. But everybody
does not stop TO think that winter
weather delays the cure of catarrh. 1t
takes longer to cure a case Of catarrh
in the winter generally, than in the
warm season. Spring is here. Vow
is the time favora BILE to the treatment
Of old and especially stubborn cases
Of catarrh.

THE OLD ARMCHAIR.
II love Il, love 1t, and who shall dare
To chide me for loving that old arm
chair?"

As I sit and dream of the days long gone.
When life was bursting from out its dawn,
When the sun of boyhood was beaming
bright
And the heart, yet d stranger to care, yas
light,
can see it modestly sitting there.
That household treasure, the old.armchair,
And the kindly eyes and the sweet old face
All scanned and wrinkled, yet full of grace,
OF the aged mother, long since at rest
In the old churchyard, and within my
breast
The heart grows tender and thrills with
love
AS the thoughts soar up to that Home
above.
/ can see her yet as the soft sunlight
Crept through the curtains so pure and
white,
And fell like crown on heT old lace cap
AS she rested there in monday nap.
How Oft have knelt by that old armchair
And whispered my simple evening prayer,
With scarcely a thought that the Lord
would hear,
For spoke the words to that mothers ear.
o! the world seemed dark and my heart
seemed dead,
When knew that the spotless soul had
fed
To another realm, and the tears would
rise
From the inner depths of my boylsh eyes
Whenever I'd look at the old armchair
With the angel no longer resting there
Long years have fled since bade farewell
TO that old east home where the sunlight
fell
On my boyish head in such kindly way
And reverently kissed those locks of gray.
Yet near me is sitting that old armchair,
And tho form of another is resting there
And rocking contentedly to and fro.
AS rocked that dear one of long ago.
With the head of a play-tired youngster
pressed
In a mass of curls to her mothers breast,
And / gaze in the depths of her soulful
eyes,
And l often think from the starlit skies,
From the home of the blest in the realms
above
The eyes Of that mother must beam with
love
AS they rest on tho features so softly
sweet
OF the wife who sits in that honored seat
II love 1t, love 1t. and who shall dare
TO chide me for loving that old arm
chair?"

ONE ACCOMPLISHMENT.
A Finland Maiden who Had Ont

The servant girl question is even more
difficult in small western cities than it
is in New York. There no lady ventures
to ask a reference, but contents herself
with verbal examination OF her appli'
cant's capabilities.
There was an avalanche of Swedo
and Finlanders in a Pacific slope town last
winter, and one wild-haired damsel pre-
sented herself as a candidate for a $20a,
month position as cook. The prospective
mistress thus interrogated her:
Can YOU make good bread?"
'Brod? Nav"
"Can you make soup?"
"Soup? Nav"

MORE SPOILED MEAT SEIZED.
Eighty Chickens with the Cholera Of
fared Here for Sale.

Keeper of the Market MacRary is do
ing the people of Raleigh a very great
service in protecting them from impure
meats in the markets.
Within the past few months he has
made many seizures of spoiled meats and
he has wrung the heads off of some
eighty sick chickens brought here for
sale.
Only yesterday he took from wagons
at the market some three or four chick
ems on sails with cholera, and seized a
pan of spoiled sausage meat at CraW,
ford's meat market. Crawford claimed
that the meat belonged to b. w. Jones
who keeps beef stall on Hlllsboro
street, and that he only had it there to
grind into sausage for him.
Spoiled meat taken into the stomach
is Al deadly poison and those found deal
ing in it cannot be too severely pun

thorities should give Mr.. MacRary al
possible support and assistance in his
crusade against this nefarious business

THE LONG BICYCLE RACE.
Waller Forced to Quit Because of His
Eyes.

San Francisco, Feb. 1.-THE great burst
of speed made by the riders in the first
twentyfour hours of the six day bicycle
race at Mechanics Pavilion has eliminated
one of the strongest men in the contest.
Frank Waller, after going 334 miles, had
to retire, as his physician warned him
that if he kept on he would be threaten
ed with total blindness. Turville was
bothered with cramps from the outset AMI
quit after making 236 miles. Chapman
also dropped out because of trouble with
his eyes Stevens fell through his inter-
locking bars with another rider and lost
ten miles. He rode steadily and more
carefully after that. Grimm rode till two
minutes of 5 O'Clock this afternoon with
out dismounting He seemed as fresh as
when he started.
All the men left in the contest are rid
ing strong. The worlds record at Madi-
son Square Garden, il9 miles in twenty
two hours, has been beaten here by the
score of 42S miles. Ashinger is the only
man who has not been off his wheel. The
score at S:i5 tonight was: Pierce 42S:

WARMER WEATHER.
The Storm Hns shifted From Wash
ingtOn to New England.

inStOn TO New England.
There is hope. Today begins the reac-
tion. and for several days the mercury will
go up instead of down, as has been its
won't
The indications for today are fair,
warmer, decreasing northwesterly winds.
1t will remain fair until Saturday, and
rising temperature will prevail each day
throughout the week
The balmy sunshine of each day will
be followed by cold nights, so that TO
floods Of any extent are feared. Rising
temperature will prevail everywhere to-
day except in New England.
Over three feet of snow has fallen
during the past eight days, but in many
places in the city the snow is piled to a
height of twelve and fifteen feet. No more
falling snow is in sight at present, say
the weather officials, but the District will
experience several good layers of white
ere the winter passes.
The storm centre is now off Nova Scotia,
the gales having blown it rapidly north
from Washington. Cold weather continues
in the South. Freezing temperature is re-
ported from south Of Jupiter, Fla.
The maximum temperature yesterday at
the local Weather Bureau was 20 degrees
above at noon. The minimum was 5 de-
gree above, at midnight.

of Chevy Chase. nj Pleasant. and other

each morning and to walk home each

There are streets in the residence por-
tions Of the city in which the snow lies
in all its unbroken strength. The strug-
gle for freedom has not yet reached out
to these streets and the residents are
marooned or compelled to climb small
hills before being able TO reach the out

II may be a week ere the suburbs are
unbound from the present fetters, as the
amount OF snow passes the comprehension
of man. II will be fully several days ere

THE MILES COURT OF ENQUIRY.
Members SnOwbound and the First
Session Postponed.

The Court of Enquiry to investigate the
allegations of General Miles regarding re-
garding the beef supply of the army will
not meet today, as directed by order OF
Secretary Alger. Only one of its mem
bers is in Washington. General Wade has
been here since Saturday, but Colonel Gill
lespie is snowbound in New York, and
General Davis is supposed to be some
where in Georgia endeayoring to get trans
portation north.
Colonel Davis recorder of the Court is
classifying list of witnesses who are ex-
pected to appear and arranging system
of examination for the Court. The pres
ent intention is to have the proceedings Of
the Court open to reporters of the press,
and the probability is that the inyestiga-
ton will be conducted in the room for
merly occupied by the Alger Relief Com
mission.
General Miles is snow bound in New York
and cannot reach here before Colonel Gil
lespie. At army headquarters a mass of
shape of reports from different officers
regarding the supply of beef furnished the
army in the campaigns in Cuba and Porto
Rico.
From present indications it is believed
the enquiry will occupy several weeks and
its extent cannot now be fortold owing
to the wide scope of the investigation.

and CHEEKY winter day as Baltimore has
ever known. Some of the street cars be-

remarkable experiences.
Daniel McCarry. who conducts a fishing
shore house at Gun Point, Seneca River,
said that wild birds were dying by thou
sands from lack of food. and that every
where in the country districts the dead
bodies OF partridges. sparrows, and hawks
could be seen frozen stiff and with lean
bodies. They had grown bold from hun
ger, he said. and when he was feeding a
number of redbirds and partridges stole
food from the pan out of which dog was
eating. The canine would grow and
snap at the birds and scare them off, but
each time they would return.
William S. Forwood. clerk of the court
at Bel Air. says that last evening his COL
ored man picked up at least bushel
basket full of birds about his barn includ-
ing snowbirds, larks, and sparrows. A
farmer on the Williams Road saw three
wild turkeys scratching in the snow at
his barn for something to eat This
morning he found a number of them about
