CAT ARll((HI

Catarrh has become such common
disease that a person entirely free from
this disgusting complaint is seldom met
with tits customary to speak OF Catarrh
as nothing more serious than bad cold,
a simple inflammation of the nose and
throat. 1t is, in fact, a complicated and
very dangerous disease; if not at first, it
very soon becomes so.
The blood is quickly contaminated by
the foul secretions, and the poison
through the general circulation is carried
to all parts of the system.
5alves, washes and sprays are unsatis-
factory and disappointing, because they
DO not reach the seat of the trouble. S.
S. S. does 1t cleanses the blood of the
poison and eliminates from the system all
catarrhal secretions, and thus cures thor
oughly and permanently the worst cases.

TREES IN LARGE CITIES.
Unable to Flourish In SOIL Saturated
with Gas.


But there is one fatal condition against
which our city trees contend In vain
the saturation of the soil under fmpervi-
Gus street paYements by gas which leaks
from the street mains. There is some
thing about Illuminating gas-probably
the olefiants--which Is industriously and
theoretically fatal to plant life, and no
tree has yet been found which Is tough
enough to survive contact with 1t. This
leakage Is not so casual or so local as to
warrant the hope that tree planting can
be made a source of satisfaction to the
planters, in spite of occasional mishaps.
The City Club some two years ago became
responsible for the Observation-Disclosures
on good authority-that 'for the 1.400
miles of gas mains on Manhattan island
the leakage will probably average more
than 100000 cubic feet per mile per an
num-" also that"in parts of this city the
loss is probably in excess of a million
cubic feet per mile per annum."
To one familiar with gas statistics
doubts that these are very conservative
statements. The Investigations of the
committee of the national board of fire
underwriters. published in their startling
circular of December rs. 1899. show that
the average gas main leakage Of London
and its suburbs Is 534.i16 cubic feet per
mile; that Philadelphia has had a leak
age in one year of over $4,000 cubic feet
per mile. and that Glasgow heads the list
VI itdhaEf ltNbidS dNt'SSiDit 10 the COM
mittee with an annual loss of 16t2, POI Gu
BID feet per main mile.
No one who has stood near a street ex-
cavation and smelled the rank, crude Pc
troleum odor Of the freshly uncovered
soil needs to be told that gas main Leak
age Is serious matter from whatever
viewpoint regarded, and not least so from
that Of the enthusiast in arboriculture
What he smells, however is not gas. THAT
has found its way into sewers and sub
ways. into coal vaults and cellars What
remains In the soil are the naphtha en-
richments which make the gas luminous
and which are filtered out into and held
by the soil. allowing the hydrogen and
carbon monoxide to PASS wherever a
means Of escape Is offered In a SOIL thus
saturated with petroleum distiilates trees
have no chance to grow. Every gas com
pany has had its bitter experiences OF
heavy damages for the destruction OF val
liable plants by main leaks. sometimes
amounting to thousands of dollars In a
night
This is the principal reason why our
city streets are bare Of trees, and must
remain 50 until the people who have
discovered n method OF preserving palms
and foliage plants for indoor decoration
so that they look very natural and are
quite a satisfactory substitute for the
real thing, shall find a way OF similarly
treating shade trees 80 that they can Ia
planted In post holes and remain beautt-
ful until they wear out.

with other Eastern Capitalists He Is
Interested in Mining.

Among the prominent men going to the
Alaskan gold fields is Gen. III. ]. Wiley,
engineer of mines. New York City. Gen.
Wiley has spent several years in Alaska
and is as familiar with every portion or
the district as almost any resident.
Being compelled to be separated from
my family is the greatest hardship have
to suffer" said the general in a brief in
terview today
Mrs Wiley is a very beautiful and in
tellectual English lady. whom the general
only recently married. She is a. graud-
daughter of Gen, Chute. deceased, form
erly of the British Army. and daughter of
r. w. Nuttall, now of Spokane.
Gen. Wiley was divorced from his form
er wife In the First Judicial district of
North Dakota on April q, 1899, and mar
ried in Chicago, ILL.,, April "a, 1893, at the
Palmer house by John p. Brushingham, a
Methodist Episcopal clergyman of that
city. Mrs. Wiley remains in Chicago dur
ing the absence of the general who is one
of number of wealthy men engaged in
the development of some promising prop
critics in Alaska. When asked to estimate
the probable production of precious metal
in Alaska during 1900 the general said a
conservative estimate is about $4,000, 600.

CAVE-|N ON FIRST AVENUE.
PAVEMENT ON MARION STREET
GIVES WAY.
Reveals an Abyss Eight Feet Deep
From which Earth Has Disap-
peared - Weak Bu1kheads he
Iieved to BE Responsible.

For the second time within the past
month a cavern occurred ON First ave-
nue., between Marion and Madison streets.
at noon yesterday. A small boy, step
ping from the sidewalk to the street
pavement at the corner of First avenue
and Marion street. was of sufficient
weight to cause the pavement to give
way. He fell through hole about a foot
in diameter. He was extricated by the
street policeman. Word was sent to the
board of public works and Street COM
missioner Little gave orders to have the
sinking portion rallied in until an investi-
cation of the cause and repairs could be
made.
BY looking into the hole through which
the boy fell one can see where the ground
underneath the pavement. for about five
feet from the curb stone and about
twenty feet in length, has sunk away to
the depth of about eight feet Where
the earth is gone it will require an in
vestigation to determine A month ago
sink occurred a little further north In
the same block.
Street Commissioner Little, when seen
and asked regarding the cause of the
cave-in, said II have not yet made an
examination, but will do so Just as soon
as I can get hold of Engineer Thomson,
who is now out on some other work. 1t
will take thorough investigation to de-
termlne the cause. III may DE lndt there
is some underground current at that
point that is sinking away the earth I'M
derneath the pavement For distance
of about forty feet from the corner of
First avenue and Marion street the pave
ment has been sinking for some time.
think the main cause is the bulkhead in
front of the Campbell property at that
corner. There are two easements I'M
derneath the sidewalk in front of the
Perrin hotel building and the bulkhead
is not strong enough. Some time ago
Mr.. Campbells agents were notified by
the city that the wooden bulkhead now
there would have to be removed and a
more substantial one substituted. They
were also notified that a cement sidewalk
would have to be put in Neither orders
have as vet been executed and 1 think
this in the main Is responsible for the
caving in of the street.
.'In grading those streets a tremendous
pressure must be used and the bulkheads
should therefore be sufficiently strong to
stand It, The cave-in further north was
caused by the bursting of water main.
1.-THE giving away of the ground In
this instance calls up the Importance OF
the city compelling substantial bulk
heads to be put in from Madison to Pike
streets, the district recently ordered
