The weather still holds terrors for the
City Fathers, and although there were
four committee meetings called for yes
terday. in not a single instance was there
a quorum present, and no business was
transacted.
The Committee on Light was called 10
meet at the gas-works, and the general
understanding was that the report Of the
expert as to the condition Of the plant
would be taken up and steps taken to
repair or replace the machinery that IS
most ancient and time worn. The in
creased appropriation for the Light De-
nartment this year was made to provide
for a partial restoration Of the plant
and Chairman Wallerstein announcing
the policy of the committee yesterday
evening. said that no time would be
wasted before the changes recommended
hv the expert would be carried out as lar
as possible.

Major n. V Randolph was given the
privilege OF the floor, and as the spokes-

soon ne Or Hartman announced that IL
was his belief that the after-effects Of Ia
grippe was simply systemic catarrh, a
great advance was made I'm the treat
ment of these cases. IL now only remain
cd 20 find q reliable remedy for systemic
catarrh.
Here n new difficulty arose. Catarrh
had been regarded by many physicians
as "a local disease. and treated solely by
local remedies. Such physicians knew Of
no systemic remedy for catarrh. other
physicians regarded catarrh as n blood
disease, and had been I'm the habit Of
treating IL with blood medicines. which
could be Of no possible use in systemic
catarrh.
For time Pe-ru-na enjoyed the dis
tinction of being the only systemic
catarrh remedy known. Ii was not even
claimed by any one that there was an
other remedy for this cxasperating con-
diti0n Since then. however. n great many
remedies have been proposed for systemic
cat3rrh. and a great deal OF valuable time
wasted I'm experimenting with other RENE
dies. But it still remains true that
Pe-ru-na is the only specific remedy for
tho after-effccts Of IN grippe. Tie de-
mand for this remedy. in consequence OF
the present epidemic OF ia grippe is
enormous.
The beneficial effect of Pe-ru-na i'm these
cases is often so prompt as 10 appear
magical. Every mucous membrane Oh IIe

The roads around the city are still al

there is a great scarcity Of farm products

are as scarce as the proverbial hens
teeth Eggs are commanding price Of
40 cents per dozen, and are being sought

from 20 TO 90 cents per pound, and but
ter which Is also exceedingly scarce, is

MANUFACTURERS ARE REsUMING.
II VIII lie a Week, Though. Ere All
of Them Are Mt Work.


As by industry and much muscular eX-
ertlon the snow IS being gradually cleared
from the principal streets, business IS be-
ing resumed and the merchants are be-
ginning to ship. The factories and other
manufacturing Industries are gradually
starting up, too, but the scarcity OF coal
is a great evil with which the larger
manufactures have to contend, and some
of them are altogether shut down. The
larger tobacco factories are running
again. but all OF the mills and factories
located along the river front which de-
pend upon the canal for their power are
shut down, because Of tho ice in that
stream. The ship-yards are hampered
by snow. as are also the Locomotive
Works, the Chesapeake and Ohio shops,
the Old Dominion Iron and Nail-Works,
and the Southern railway shops. The
shoe factory al the penitentiary, which
was forced TO suspend operations Tues
day on account Of a coal shortage, re-
sumed yesterday
1t will probably be at least a week yet
before the manufactures generally will
be in working order, and until that time
many mechanics and labOring men will be
out OF employment.
