Peruna Is applicable to catarrh Of
any mucous surface OF the body in all
stages. From the slightest catarrhal
attack or cold to the most chronic or
pronounced case Of hypertrophic form
Peruna is specific.
Men and women are subject to ca
tarrh. Women are even more subject to
catarrh than men. This is due to many
causes. The chief cause is the delicacy
of her organism, as compared to man.
The extreme constituencies OF the mu-
cous lining of every organ of woman's
body Is well known to physicians. This
explains why, in part at least, SO few
women are entirely free from catarrh-
A vast multitude Of women have
found Peruna an indiapensihle remedy.

Rowell Roasted.

Judge Wilcox fned young Ha-
waiian on Saturday last, $40 for
being common nuisance by NOV
ing house along King street from
PalamaNto Ka!ihi.
The owner OF the house proved
that he had a permission from Mr..
Rowell, the superintendent Of pub
lie works aud that he had endeavor-
ed to comply with all existing laws
when his house unfortunately got
stranded and blocked the road while
Mr.. Cassidy was removing the tele-
phone wires, and Minister Damon
and Judge Wilcox were trying to
pass along the public highway.
The judge stated that he didn't
care a snap for the Inconvenience
that he was put to or the pilikia
that Minister Damon was in, but he
would fine the owner of the house,
to show the public that it was about
time that Mr.. Rowell stopped his
slip shod manner Of conducting
public business.
The Marshal regretted that he
had to ask that the defendant he
fined, but he hoped that Mr.. Rowell
would pay the mulct and under
stand in the future that there is no
authority vested ia the Office OF the
Superintendent of Public Works al
lowing him to ignore the rules and
regulations pertaining to the pass
age on public streets.

ANGLo-PoRTUGUEsE ALLIANCE.
Offensive and Defensive Agreement Sale
to Have Been Reached.

Offensive and Defensive Agreement Said
to Have Been Reached.
LONDON, Feb. l2.-There exists to-
day what practically amounts to an
offensive and defensive alliance be-
tween Great Britain and Portugal.
The Associated Press is able to state
that the real reason for Great Britain's
tremendous military activity is deter
mination to convince Portugal that it
is advisable to meet Great Britain's de-
mands regarding the ports essential
for carrying on the Boer war, namely,
Delagoa Bay and Beira, and at the
same time, having secured Portugal's
assent to every proposition made, be
in position to support that country
against an united European opposition.
No word of this is printed or limited at
In London, but the Associated Press
learns that intense pressure is being
brought to bear on Portugal by CONT
mental powers to prevent her from
giving aid to the British. Portugal's
minister at London, Senior Pinto de
Several, is almost as much an English
man as Portuguese, and his govern
ment is only too willing to do every
thing, far beyond the bounds of neu-
trality, to help Great Britain to protect
Portugal. Lord Salisbury is deter
mined this shall be done, and is count
ing on the cooperation of his country
men to put the nation on footing to
defy European opposition. He has
this week taken definite measures re-
garding the aforementioned ports
that can only be described as daring.
Portugal, bending to the modicum of
coercion, and convinced that Great
Britain is able to uphold her, has,
acquiesced until there practically exists
to-day an alliance of the strongest
fibre between Great Britain and Port
ugal. Yet, for reasons of diplomacy,
nothing could be more quickly officially
denied in London or Lisbon.
