Monte Cristo Nowhere.

St. Nicholas: The increase of
wealth has been prodigious since the
time Of our civil war, especially in
America. When / was n boy any one
who had $4,000 to his name was con-
sidcred fairly rich, hut at present peo-
pie think little of a trife like that.
Even in Europe, where fortunes are
gained much less rapidly than with

Monte Cristo," and you know that
few things were too extravaganza for
the imagination of Alexander Dumas.
He meant that his romantic hero
should lead the whole world in mag
rificence, and probably thought of Civ
ing him the biggest bank account ever
heard Of. But Monte Cristo was worth
| only a fraction of what several real
men now living can show. This was
not the sort Of mistake you would
have expected from Dumas. 1t would
have cost him only a stroke Of the pen
to multiply the hoard in the Mcditer,
ranean island a hundred times; but,
although his novel was written when
he was 40 years old, he could not fore
see that his fiction would be utterly
distanced by solid facts before he

OF the Supreme Court OF Ohio,
Had La Grippe Praises
pearu.ua

DIR. Hartman is receiving hundreds of
letters every day about his famous rem
edy for la grippe. Ordinary remedies
seem Of no use. Pc-ru-na is the only rem
cdy that entirely cradicates this stub
born disease from The system. The rca-
son for this is that Pc-ru-na is q scicn-
tiic catarrh remedy; it cures catarrh in
all stages and phases. La grippe is cpl
dcmic catarrh.
Hon. Josiah Il. Allen, Clerk of the SUI
preme Court of Ohio, writes Br. Hart
man on the subject of In grippe as fol-
lows:

The hottest debate of the session &C.
CURED yesterday afternoon. Lawson
spoke at length upon the senate bill
empowering railroad commissioners
to fix maximum rates for express COM
panies, taking the ground that the
commissioners already had that power
and that il was unsafe TO tinker with
the 1897 railroad lazy, which fully cot-
ered the question. He was anxious to
have the extension of the express COM
panies established, but hat power was
already conferred and he deprecated
an attempt to amend the railroad law
while important cases were pending.
Smith, of Pennington, defended the
pending bill, claiming it did not con-
fict with the existing law. LOOMS
and Hanten held that additional legis-
lation was necessary to remove doubt
as to the powers of the board to fix eX-
press rates,
Tyier claimed that after twenty
years service with express companies
he had opposed the pending bill on
the ground that it conflicted with the
railroad law, intimating that the bill
concealed a woodchuck. The railroad
commission had not established rates
because ii had not the necessary funds.
He asked that the bill be referred to
the judiciary and appropriation COM
mittee.
Lawson moved that further consid-
Grafton be postponed for two days to
permit investigation. Lost, % to 20. a
