A SENATOR'S WIFE

When Suffering With Acute Catarrh
Used P~e-ru-na With Good

A cold is acute catarrh. Too few
people to be aware OF this. If a
cold is neglected it will soon become
chronic catarrh. Although a cold is
rarely fatal, yet it is the most produc-
tive source of incurable disease that is
known to the medical profession. At
least one-third of the deaths in the
United States are easily traced to the
effects of cold.
In perhaps 40 other particular are
the masses of the people so ~recklessly
neglectful of their own interests as in
the matter of catching cold. Not only
do the great majority fail to properly
provide themselves with sufficiently
warm clothing, but when a slight
cough or hawking or running at the
nose warns them a cold has been con-
tracted, little or no attention is paid
to it. There are, comparatively, SC
few people who regard a cold as oil

prompt and efficient medical treat.

Commencing Monday, February IA,
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad will in
troduce a new feature in its Sleeping
Car Service, between Baltimore and
Newark, Ohio, inaugurating what
will be known as the Ordinary
Sleeping Cars, in addition to the regu-
lar Standard Sleeping Cars. One of
these cars will be attached to train No.
7. leaving Baltimore at 2 p. IN. and
arriving in Newark 1922 a. m. next
day. returning on train No. s, leaving
Newark $3.50 p. M. and arriving in
Baltimore 1858 p. IN. next day.
The B. & o. railroad is the first
line to introduce this service in the
eastern territory for special accommo.
dation of the travelling public. In
these Ordinary sleepers the Pull
man rate is reduced ne.half, so that
passengers have the choice of paying
the higher Pullman rate and occupy
ing Standard Car or take advantage
OF the cheaper rate and occupying the
Ordinary" Sleeper.
These cars are new having been
especially constructed for this service,
and differ from the Standard Sleeping
Cars only in being less deliberately
furnished. The seats are upholstered
in rattan, and the sleeping. berths,
when made up, have all the comforts
and conveniences of the Standard
Cars.
Tickets will be on sale at regular

A DOUBLE TRIunpH.
Schiey to be Looked After-Deserve

fFrom our Regular Correspondent.1

fFrom our Regular Correspondence
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The new
Army bill is satisfactory to President
Mckinley, which is alone sufficient
proof that the Democratic claim OF
having compelled its acceptance by
the Republicans is a bit of mooushine.
The simple truth is that the Demo
Gratis were clearly outgeneraled by the
Republicans. In their anxiety to es-
cape ensure from the people for trying
TO tie the hands OF the administration,
by opposing the Hull army bill, the
Democrats offered to vote for a bill
that gives practically everything the
Hull bill would have given, except
that it only provides for the additional
inen for two years from next July, in
stead of leaving it discretionary with
the President how long the additional
men should be kept in the army
President Mckinley aid the Republi-
can Senators took advantage Of the
opportunity thus presented to prevent
an extra session of Congress. Their
object in doing this is obvious. First,
they avoided an extra session, which
no one wanted; second, the increased
army is secured at once, when it is
needed, and last, but by no means
least, the next Congress can be de-
pended upon to pass any permanent
army legislation that may be recon-
mended by President Mckinley. 1t
will be seen therefore, that the claim
of victory by the Democrats is just
about as substantial as that set up by
the S~paniards after Dewey had de-
stroyed their feet at Manila. and later
when they announced that Cervera
had won a great victory. President
Mckinley has won a double triumph;
s ecured the soldiers he needs, and
avoided an extra session of Congress.
So far is Secretary Long from enter
tanning a feeling of ill-will towards
Admiral Schley that he has caused it
to be announced that in the event of
the failure of the Senate to act upon
Schley's nomination to be Rear Ad
miral, which he does not expect, the
Navy Department will not allow
Schley to be forced out of the service,
although failure of the Senate to act
on the nomination would leave Schley
without official status. as another man
has been nominated and confirmed to
succeed him as Commodore, which
leaves no vacancy in that grade.
Representative Johnson, of Indiana,
made another speech attacking the
President-probably his last, as he
retires from public life at the end Of

that Mr.. Johnson had been repu6iated
by his constituents whose sentiments
he did not represent in any sense, and
