Catarrh is one of the ways in which a
depressed condition of the nervous sys-
tenn shows itself. Catarrhal people are
soon made nervous. Anyremedy to effect
a radical cure of chronic catarrh must

the barge Office in this city by secret
service agents, of Notable Maresca
and Michil Weida, supposed anarchists
who arrived yesterday on the Kaiser

stood to have come to this country as
conspirators whose object, 1t is alleg-
ed, was to assassinate President Nc
Kinley. The World" says: Instead
Of two, high officials of the govern
ment informed the Evening World"
there are fourteen anarchists under
arrest at the detention prison bureau
of immigration all charged with. be-
ing in conspiracy to assassinate Pres
ident Mckinley and have been taken
singly and in pairs from incoming
ocean liners within the last ten days
United States secret service agents
learn that the anarchist circle in Ma
pies cast lots to determine who should
be the assassin. Eleven Italians and
three Austrians were selected. Close
ly followed, they sailed from different
ports. Their object was to strike in.
dividual blows at the president at
the same time. That would make sue
cess sure. AS fast as the men arrived
the secret service agents disguised as
emigrants and went among them, they
were arrested"
As far as known, according to the
Evening World. the plan was for
each man to proceed to Washington
on certain day, surround the prcsi-
dent and await the opportunity to
strike. The blow was to be by pistol
and knife. One. 1t was certain, would
be successful The question Of escape
was not considered, the men being
willing to sacrifice their lives for
their principles.
Chief Hazen refused to give the
technical charge on which Marcsca
and Weida are detained. He said
Maresca is a typical anarchist. A
number Of papers in Italian were found
on two men and turned over to Com
