Release of a Famous Bandit.

The Italian papers are filled with stories
concerning Vinceny Muscarello, the ia
nous bandit, who, at the age of 80, has
lust been released from prison. He was
the most famous bandit in the middle of
the century, and not only. operated in
Sicily, but also in Italy and in Rome it
self, where on one occasion he rescued at
the very scafTold a cOmrade who had been
condemned by Pope Plus TX. to the gar
rote. In 1860, when Garibaldi was made
Dictator of Sicily, Muscarello, who hap
pened to be then on the island, was hunt
ed down, captured, and sentenced to hard
labor for life. His companions were exc
cuted. After having spent several years
at hard labor his sentence was commuted
to simple Imprisonment. And a few days
ago, owing to his remarkably good con
duct and his great age, King Humbert
pardoned him. Muscarello managed to
earn and save several hundred lire while
in prison. He will return TO Sicily and
PASS the remainder Of his days with some
relatives there. who are farmers. Muscar
clio is said to enjoy excellent health, is
still very strong and looks 90 years young
et than he actually is.

Hon. Myron II. McCord, Ex-Governor oil
New Mexico, in letter to DR.. Hartman, from
Washington, d. c., SAYS:
Gentlcmen-At the suggestion of a friend
| was advised to Use Pe-ru-na for catarrh,
and after using one bottle / began to feel
better in every way. 1t helped me in many
respects. l was troubled with colds, coughs,
sore throat, etc, but rs soon as l had taken
your medicine [ began to improve and soon
got well. take pleasure in recommending
your great remedy TO all who are afflicted
with catarrh. M. ii. McCord.
Thousands of cases of chronic catarrh
have been cured by Pe-ru-na during the
past Winter In spite of changeable weather,
i'll spite of the natural set-backs from catch
ing cold, and confinement to illy-yentilated
rooms, the great catarrh remedy-Pe-ru-na-
has effected these cures. But now Spring is
here. The days are longer, the sun is
warmer, and the blizzard is gone for another
year. This presents a much more favorable
opportunity for the permanent cure OF
chronic catarrh, especially old, stubborn
cases. Now is the time to begin treatment
Other things being equal, one months treat
ment in the Spring is worth two months
treatment during the inclement weather of
Winter Insist upon having Pe-ru-na.
There are no successful substitutes for this
remedy. Send to DR.. Hartman, Columbus,
Ohio, for a free catarrh book.

A Good Complexion
Depends on Good Digestion.

This is almost an axiom, although usually
we are apt TO think that cosmetics, face
powders lotions, fancy soaps, etc, are the
secret for securing clear complexion.
But all these are simply superficial assist
ants 1t is impossible to have good COM
plexion unless the digestive organs perform
their work properly; unless the stomach by
properly digesting the food taken into it fur
nishes an abundance of pure blood good
complexion is impossible.
This is the reason so many ladies are using
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, because they
promptly cure any stomach trouble, and
they have found out that perfect digestion
means a perfect complexion and one that
does not require cosmetics and powders to
enhance its beauty.
Many ladies diet themselves or deny them
selves many articles of food solely in order to
keep their complexion clear.
When 'Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are used
no such dieting is necessary. Take these
tablets and eat all the good, wholesome food
you want and you need have no fear of in
digestion nor the sallow. dull complexion
which nine women out Of ten have, solely be-
cause they are suffering from some form of
indigestion.
Bear in mind that beauty proceeds from
good health, good health results from perfect
digestion, and we have advanced the best
argument to induce every man or woman to
give this splendid remedy trial.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be found in
drug stores, and costs but so cents per pack
age They are prepared by the f. A. Stuart
Co, Marshall, Mich.
If there is any arrangement of the stomach
or bowels they will remove it and the result
ant effects are good digestion, good health
and clear, bright complexion. Ask your
druggist for the tablets and free book on
stomach diseases

1t is a matter of regret that the con-
struction of the proposed government
building for Wilkes Barre has been
postponed owing to the sudden boom
in real estate in that city. When the
government officials began to look
about for a suitable site for the build
ing, malarious marshes and arid goat
pastures became more valuable than
ground-floor Klondike claims. After
few interviews with property owners,
the officials concluded that after ground
had been secured there would be
enough of the appropriation left per-
haps to erect shelter tent on the plot.
They have therefore concluded to wait
until money enough can be appropriate
ed to build something more substantial.

Naval Lessons.

Admiral SIMPSONS idea that our

cruisers of large coal-carrying capacity
than OF any other type--ships which
can get to an enemy the soonest and
attack and destroy before the enemy
can bring his heavy armament into
play--is certainly "A iustitiable deduc-
tion from the experiences Of our late
war, as any landsman can see. True
the Oregon, heavy line c-of-battle war
ship, carried off the individual honOrs
OF that war; but she did this rather in
her capacity as a cruiser than as a
floating fort. Her big guns and her
thick armor added nothing TO her as
serted efficiency, however much they
might have helped in a pinch. Had she
been constructed on the Brooklyn pat
tern. with copper-sheathcd bottoms
and a large complement of rapid lre
batteries, her efficiency would have
been perceptibly greater under the con-
dltions of the Santiago naval cam
paign. 1t was her speed and her
secondary batteries which did the
business; not one Of her thlrteen-inoh
shells struck a Spanish ship nor DID
