these reservoirs of life with vitality which
leads to strong, steady nerves, and thus
nourishes life.
Peruna is in great favor among wo-
men, especially those who have vocations
that are trying to the nervous system.
Peruna furnishes the lasting inauguration
for the nerves that such people so much
need. Thousands of testimonials from wo-
men in all parts of the United States are
being received every year. Such unsolc-
tied evidence surely proves that Peruna
is without an equal as a nerve tonic and
vital invigorator.

ELECTIONS IN FRANCE.
Nationalist Victory in Paris Is Not
Held Desirable.

Copyright 1900, by the Associated Press.}
Paris, May 12.-Second ballots to decide
those municipal elections which were left
without definite results last Sunday, ow-
Ing 10 insufficient majorihes, will make
tomorrow q crucial day in the political
history of Paris, and viii have consfd-
cradle influence on the political situation
in France generally.
The rehallots will either paint the Paris
Municipal Council with nationaAsm, Or
merely leave the Nationalist in sufficient
number to form an aggressive minority
which will be a thorn in the side of the
government.
Semi-Ofiicial declarations that the gov
eminent regards the eventuality of a Ma
tionalist Council with equanamity, in view
of the extremely satisfactory returns in
the provinces, must not be taken literally.
1t is useless to attempt to disguise the
fact that the governments supporters
are looking forward to Sundays result
with grave concern. The organs of the
Radicals predict that a Nationalist VIC
tory will mean municipal policy that
will make Paris uninhab table for for
eigners who come to spend their money
here. This remark is tassd en- the Ma

Pursuant to these tactics, the National

Against Sale OF Liquor.
The questio of the Sunday opening of
the American pavilion and section al the
exposition had barely been settled when
the tempercn@" advocates lifted their
voices agaius sale of liquor in the
cafe of the a can pavilion. The base
ments of all The paVihons on the now IA
nous Rue des Nations, where are erected
the official buildings of the foreign ma
lions, are occupied by restaurants and
cafes, in which are served dishes and bev-
erages characteristic of the respective
countries. The establishments lock out
on the Seine and the terraces in front
are becoming popular rendezvous for for
eign visitors, who gather at their respec-
tive pavilions.
At the headquarters of the American
commission it is explained that those who
have been vehemently assaultng the idea
of an American bar are acting under
false impressions, as no bar is 70 be To-

Once in a lifetime, perchance, to few

the poker players dream-a dream sell

Unless club gossip bears false witness
however, it was just such rare combna-
ton of circumstances that enabled Maui
rice Untermyer, when he sailed for the
Fatherland last Tuesday, to carry away
something like $4,000 extra pin money.
Nor docs the story rest solely on club
gossip. IT Is eloquently told in the lam
guage of flowers MIR. Untermyer's cabin
in the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse was a
bower of frag ance just before he sailed
But there was one flower piece that at

1t was a sup rb and unusually large bas-
ket OF American Beauty roses resting on
a rich pedestal. The token had cost not
less than 800, but it was the inscription
that was unique.
