cEL1IC CHAIR Is PERMANENT.

AS llle 1FlSu SlduudCu pEeulCCeu Ill
last weeks issue, the Celtic chair in the
Catholic University at Washington will
not be abolished, but will remain per-
manent fixture in that Institution. d..
Henebry, however, has not been re-
tanned as associate professor of Celtic
languages. His term of three years
has expired, and the faculty and senate
Of the university both determined that
his reappointment would be inadvisable
for some reasons unknown to the pub
lie. The trustees unanimously sustained
them at their meeting OH Nov. 20 and
authorized the following statement:
cat the annual meeting of the board
of trustees at the Catholic University,
on Wednesday, Nov. 20, the most care
full consideration was given to the rec
concentrations of the university faculty
and senate relative to Rev. DIR. Hene-
bry's reappointment as associate profess
scr in Gaelic. The board of trustees
unanimously declined to reappoint him.
With equal unanimity 1t declares It's
intention Of holding sacred the trust
committed to it by the Ancient Order
of Hibernians; and yields to no body of
men in Its conscientious interest in all
the purposes of the endowment. No
thought of diverting the earnings of the
A. Q. HI. chair to any other teaching
than that Of Gaelic has ever been or
ever can be entertained. The right rev.
erend rector was instructed to make
every effort to secure as soon as possi-
lie an instructor in Gaelic, who shall
be engaged until such time as regular
professor may be fully equipped for the
work, to which he will entirely devote
his time. Several applications have al
ready been made for the temporary
work in this department."
1t is understood that DR.. Dunn will
fill the chair Of Gaelic temporarily, and
that in course of time a regular profess
sor who will be irremovable can be Sc
cured. 1t may be DR.. Douglas Hyde,
or 1t may not, but certain it is that he
will be thoroughly versed in the study
of the ancient language Of Ireland. DIR.
Dunn is an Irish-American whose IA
ther is prominent member of the An.
Gent Order of Hibernians, and though
he may not be able to speak the Ian
guage fiuently he will do his best to
teach it until n permanent professor is
appointed.
We have read no complaints from the
leading members Of the A. o, III. in
reference to DR.. Henebry's dismissal
since the adverse report of the trustees
on his reinstatement, and we take It
for granted that they are satisfied with
the decision. A number Of protests
against his removal We're forwarded to
the board Of trustees, but when written
1T was thought that the trustees would
discontinue the teaching of Gaelic and
divert the A. o. H. fund of $4,000 to
other purposes. This they had no in
tention Of doing. They express their
determination of holding sacred the
trust committed to them and of devoting
the earnings of the A. o. II. chair to the
cultivation Of the Gaelic language and
literature, and to nothing else. They
could not afford to do otherwise. The
best thing to do now is to let the matter
rest. Ais well that ends we'll.

During the winter season the onset of catarrh is often very sudden. It begins like an ordinary cold. It very rapidly fastens itself upon the organ attacked, whether it be the head, throat or lungs, and assumes stubborn form of catarrh at once.
 Upon the first appearance of what is known as 8 common cold everybody should immediately take warning and provide themselves with bottle of Peruna. One bottle of Peruna will do more at the beginning of the attack than several bottles can do after the disease has become thoroughly estab- lished in the system.
 Peruna cures the catarrh wherever located. Peruna is not guess nor an experimental is an absolute scientific certainty. Peruna has no substitutes no rivals. Insist upon having Peruna.
 If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna. write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad- vice free.
 Address Dr. Hartman, President of the Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, Ohio.

Hon. Philip B. Thompson, IT,, Mem Der of Congress from Kentucky, in . recent letter has the following to say of the national catarrh remedy, Peruna. The letter was written at Washington, D. O., and reads as follows:
 "My friends have used your remedy, Peruna, and I take pleasure in testify ing to the merits of your medicine. Be- sides. being one of the very best tonics, it is good substantial catarrh remedy" Philip B. Thompson, Jr.
 MT. William Pfeiffer writes from 900 Bank street, Cincinnati, O., as follows: Dr. s. B. Hartman, Columbus, O.:
 Dear Sir-"Owing to the fact that I have been troubled with catarrh and was cured by your medicine (Peruna), I cannot express my thanks to you for the health am now enjoying. My case of catarrh is one which has been in my system for years before I knew what was wrong.~It was going from bad to worse, until tired of it went to an insti- ute for treatment. The doctor in charge said my nose would have to be operated upon. Having no confidence in the operation he wanted to perform I at once began to take Peruna, which Is our family remedy. also followed your di- rections in the book "Winter Catarrh, ," for which my mother sent, and found relief. Shortly after suffered with a heavy cold, but recovered from that, and am now very healthy.
 "I cannot express my thanks to you for the service your medicine has rem dered me, and recommend it as the best remedy for catarrh, as am one.who has been cured by your medicine."-William Pfeiffer, Jr. .7 isa
 Mrs. w. E.. Grissoan, of Henry, Ellis county, Texas, writes:
 "I took Peruna faithfully over two months, and the result is thoroughly renovated system and strong, buoyant feeling, to say nothing of a cure of the chronic catarrh. Therefore shall avail myself of every opportunity to speak of Peruna as catarrh ure.u-Mrs. w. E.. Grissom.
 Catarrh is a systemic disease, curable only by systemic treatment. A remedy that cures catarrh must aim directly at the depressed nerve centers. This is what Peruna does. Peruna immediately invigorates the nerve centers which give vitality to the mucous membranes. Then catarrh disappears; then it is per- manently cured.
