taken with very distressing pains in
my stomach.
II seldom had passage of the bow

physician with no better results. The
disease kept growing on me, until
had exhausted the ability Of sixteen Of
Rochester's best physicians. The last
physician advised me to give up my
work and go south, after he had treat
ed me for one year.
II was given thorough examination
with the X-ray. They could not even
determine what my trouble was. Some
of your testimonials in the Rochester
papers seemed to me worthy Of con-
sideration, and I made up my mind to
try bottle of Peruna. Before the
bottle was half gone noticed change
for the better. am now on the fifth
bottle, and have not an ache or pain
anywhere. My bowels move regularly
every day, and I have taken on eight
cen pounds of flesh. I have recon-
mended Peruna to a great many and
they recommend it very highly. I
have told several people that if they
would take bottle of Peruna, and
could then candidly say that it had not
benefited them, would pay for the
medicine. "A. c. Lockhart.

II OST people think that catarrh is a
nm disease confined to the head and
N nose. Nothing is farther from
the truth. 1t may be that the nose and
throat is the oftenest affected by ca
tarrh, but if this is so it is so only
because these parts are more exposed
to the vicissitudes of the climate than
the other parts of the body.
Every organ, every duct, every cavity
of the human body is liable to catarrh.
"a multitude of ailments depend on ca
tarrh. This Is true winter and sum-
mer. Catarrh causes many cases of
chronic disease. where the victim has
not the slightest suspicion that catarrh
has anything to do with it.

NIrs Rohland was to have played an ac-
compartment at that concert. but had the

Mcdowell had steadily declared he was
innocent Of the charge against him. When
the case was called Thursday morning he
announced himself ready for trial. The

posed OF.

The new era Of progress engendered oy

mand for centrally located real estate and
property. may result in the abandonment
by the city Of the old structure on Seven
teenth. Eighteenth. Market and Chestnut
streets. which has been used as a tenn
porary City Hospital since the city institu-
tion was destroyed by the cyclone.
Festus J. Wade Of the Mercantile Trust
Company notified Comptroller Sturgeon
Thursday morning that he will not con-
slider himself morally bound to renew the
lease on the temporary hospital when the
lease expires on May 81. The reason given
was that the certainty Of the Worlds Fair
has superinduced new conditions in rela-
tion to property in all parts Of the city. and
the company might deem It advantageous
to decline a renewal Of the lease unless
new agreement were made ut once.
Mr.. Sturgeon responded that 1t Is too late
70 introduce an ordinance in the Municipal
Assembly. as that body will disband next
month"; and he could not assume the power
to enter into new contract. Besides. Mr..
Sturgeon was Of the opinion that he should
allow his successor to act in the matter, as
the lease will not expire until May 81.
The old building Is well-known land
mark. Formerly the House Of the Good
Shepherd for many years. It became the
temporary City Hospital after the nuns de-
serted 1t. The city has been paying
rental Of $1,000 yearly. this sum being the
interest on a note. which Is protected by
deed Of trust. Consequently the city was
renting the property under what were
deemed fair terms.
While Mr.. Wade did not state positively
that the lease will not be continued. he
nevertheless warned the officials that he
might refuse to do so. thus admonishing
the city to be prepared to vacate the
structure at the termination Of the present
lease. or thereabouts. As the new City Hos
pital cannot be completed for many months,
and as the arrangement of the new edifice
will practically preclude Its occupancy for
both medical and surgical purposes. the city
probably will be obliged to rent or lease
some other building temporarily.

charged by Judge Wislizenus.

Judge wislizenus refused Thursday. in the
Dayton Street Police Court. to accept bonds
for eight persons charged with playing
craps. The bonds were signed by Minnie
Sweeney and John p. Sweeney.
Sweeney is a member of the House Of
Delegates. Some time ago Judge Wis
lizenus announced that he would not ac-
cept members of the House OF Delegates on
bonds in his court. Shortly afterwards a
resolution was passed by the House to in
vestigate Judge Wislizenus, but no investi-
CATION has been made as yet. Delegate
Sweeney has not offered to go on any bonds
in the Dayton street court until in the
present case, when he signed the bonds in
the name OF his wife.
The defendants were arrested in a raid
Wednesday night at Seventh and Morgan
streets. When the cases were called Thurs
day the city attorney asked for q continu-
ance. When Judge Wislizenus learned how
the bonds were signed he ordered that new
bonds be given. This was not done. and
the cases were ordered to be tried. The
trials resulted IN the defendants being dis
charged.

SUGGESTIONS FOR
TABLE AND KITCHEN.

For the informal tea only the simplest
refreshments should be served, as one un-
derstands that the guests are there for
the pleasure of congenial society and the
refreshments served are merely to express
hospitality and welcome. To be entirely
consistent. the only beverage that should
be served on this occasion Is q deliciously
brewed cup Of the very finest tea. Thin
bread and butter. the very daintiest Of tiny
sandwiches and small cakes may accom-
pany the tea.
Cocoa, coffee and clam bouillon are some
times served, as well as tea; but these bev-
erages are more in keeping with the formal
teas. when a greater number of guests
are served.
The hostess. daughter of the house or
friend may serve the tea.
A maid in plain gown Of black with dain-
ty white cap apron and cuffs is the only

acts as hostess. Cover this with a pretty,
snow,white cloth. The tea service, plates.

cannot be improved on-take pinch of

for the pot. Use the water as soon as it
botls; Just cover the tea-ball and let it
stand a few minutes: then fill up the pot
with boiling water and serve at once
Have lemon sliced very thin and arranged
on pretty plate. Both plates and napkins
are usually dispensed with at informal teas,
but 1t shows greater consideration for the
delicate gowns of the lady guests to have
a pile Of these placed where the guests
may help themselves IL they desire. The
maids services are not required for serv-
ing. only to remove or replenish any dish,
as the guests help themselves and one an
other.

little from an afternoon reception, except
