PRESIDENT CARROLL'S WONDERFUL RECOVERY
Catarrh Claims a Multitude Of
Victims Every Winter,
The Vast Majority Of Whom
Never Recover.
Will You Be One Of Them? !?

Catarrh is silent and insidious In its
ravages, but it pervades nearly every
household and hovers like pestilence
over every hamlet and city in our land.
Catarrh (and its legitimate conse-
quences) have desolated more hearth
stones, made wretched more happy lives
and ended more brilliant careers than all
other diseases combined.
Catarrh may end In deafness, blindness.
loss Of smell, loss Of taste, or the entire
loss Of voice.
Diphtheria. bronchitis, pneumonia. con-
sumption and pleurisy begin almost al
ways as the result of a catarrhal attack.
The worst forms Of dyspepsia and
Brights disease of the kidneys are also
the direct consequences of neglected cases
of acute catarrh.
Even when the victims of acute ca
tarrh escape all Of tho above mentioned
liabilities there remains the great prob
ability of It's ending In chronic catarrh.
The only hope of success in the perma-
nent cure of a case of chronic catarrh
is to devise some remedy that will slim
ulate the nerves which supply the capll-
larry blood vessels.
There is but one remedy that has this
most desirable effect, and that remedy Is
Peruna.
This remedy strikes at once at the root
of the catarrh by restoring to the capil-
Peruna Is not a temporary palliative,
but a radical cure.

According 10 a despatch from cara
cas-, by way Of Wiuemstad. Island Of
Curacao, a force Of Colombian troops
under the Colombian Minister Of War
has invaded Venezuela. War between
the two countries, therefore. appears to
be inevitable. The New York paper
which on yesterday called upon the
Administration To make powerful ma
val demonstration in Venezuelan and
Colombian waters, today asserts that
the Navy Department has declared its
intention TO send the North Atlantic
Squadron to Colon, if there are any
further developments.
a little analysis Of the situation will
serve 10 show the reader that all
things come to him who waits" if he
happens TO be a bloated trust. Colom-
bia is a stronger State than Venezuela
and has a bigger army Hence the
chances of war would favor Colombia in
ordinary circumstances As il is. they
are more than favorable, since President
Castro Of Venezuela has a rebellion il

he sees the monster warships Of the
United States menacing his coast, Cas-
tro probably will consider that his cup
Of woe is full and oyeriiowing.
BY that time his fate will be sealed
and so clearly settled that If he has a
grain Of sense he Will dismiss the judges
Of the High Federal Court, hang the
Warner-QuiElan syndicate representa-
tives, and surrender the Bermudez de
pOsits in toto TO the Asphalt Trust. In
that way he would make himself per
soma grata in Washington in three
winks Of a cassOwary's tail. Then Co
lombias invasion would be threaten
ing American interests" and there
would be moral suasion, or, if that did
not work. armed intervention. Castro

situation that confronts him to No ke it

A TALK WITH ADMIRAL sCHLEY
Gave the Men the Credit for the san
tiago Victory.

BALTIMORE. Aug. H-WnHam y.
Thomson, Manager OF the John G Griffin
Company, says that after the battle Of
Santiago he had the pleasure Of meeting
Rear Admiral Winfield Scott SchIey while
the latter was visiting in this city.

Thomson, was that when I asked him
what he thought when the Spanish ships
were seen coming out Of the harOor he re-
piled: I thought that when you've got q

right in the box with EN-
Another thing that impressed me was
that in all his conversation Admiral
Schley took no credit 10 himself for the
result OF the battle He said il was an
accident OF fortune that placed him in
command of the ships, and gave the credit
10 the men of the feet for his victory

hind the guns are all right but they can
see what IS going on, while the stokers

what is happening, whether the enemy is
being beaten OF whether he Is winning
The engineer, too, has TO answer the pi-
igt S bells and do his duty In ignorance
OF any fate which may await him
That was the tenor Of the admiraTs
talk said Mr. Thomson. ard in all of
IL could not be found one word Of self
approval On the contrary. the hero Of
santiago spoke principally about what the
others had done and how everybury
worked together to achieve the victory.

The South Carolina Campaign.

The character Of the South Carolina
campaign is one to be deeply regretted.
The political differences which have
sprung up between Senators McLaurin
and Tiliman are broad and radical, but
there is no good reason why the ques-
tions al issue should not be discussed
in d spirit Of calm, conservative argu-
mentation. When two Senators who,
together, represent the Statehood Of
South Carolina, denounce each other
as bOOGlers and bribe-takers. and talk
about shaking their fists in each others
faces, il is a style Of augmentation
that is neither dignified nor convincing.
II indicates that whatever may be the
nature Of their political antagOnisms.
their personal antipathies are still
stronger Their personal dislike OF each
other may not be entirely within their
control. but il seems that they might
keep their language within the limits Of
decorum and propriety. Their failure
20 do so is suggestive Of a lack Of self
poise and due regard for Senatorial dig
nifty which all must observe with re-
gret
Nor IS the campaign, as a whole, one
10 be especially admired. The views ex-
pressed by Representative Talbert on
the subject of the negro's education and
suffrage viii hnd very little approval
outside the most extreme anti-negro
element in certain portions Of the
South. Mr. TaIbert, who is the candi-
date for Governor, is reported as being
opposed TO using the white mans
money for the education Of the negro"
That neither shows a good spirit nor is
il broad gauged craftsmanship. The
negroes constitute one-haIf or more Of
the population Of South Carolina, while
the wealth is chiefly in the hands Of the
whites. Money Tor educational purpos-

Fruit in Ireland

Some ardent Irish patriots have been
carrying on a discussion in the columns
of "a New York paper. regarding the eX-
cellence of the products of Ireland One
enthusiastic CeIt goes So far as TO
claim that in the matter of fruits,
wheat. and salubTity of climate, Ire
land is mistress Of the world. Another,
more cautious. is inclined 10 think that
Patriot No. / looks upon these things
through the rose-Colored spectacles OF
memory. and that not having set foot
on the ouId SOD since the days Of boy
hood. his ideas uf its beauties and lux
uries are somewhat exaggerated. He
reminds the reader that in boyhood the
wild grape OF strawberry seems more
luscious than the tropical fruit tasted
in after life.
There may be- something in this. but
there is another reason for the conten-
tion Of the ardent Irish gentleman that
the Irish climate is healthy and adverse
to consumption. Very probably il has
all those properties, TO those who are
born there.
The climate Of the west coast Of Ire
land IS soft. moist, and mild Harold
Frederic tersely sums up the Conse-
queuCes by saying that the natives Of
that part Of the country have lungs
which are rudimentary. like a frogs
and that when they emigrate to the
sharper colder. drier climate Of the
Northern States OF America, consump-
tion is the natural result. In like man
ner the native of the dry, cold climate
might be attacked by the saP,e disease
if he were TO go to live in Ireland. In
both cases the trouble would be that
lungs suited 20 one sort of air were re-
quired 20 adapt themselves to another
sort. When the general health is good,
such adaptations are often pCssibie; but
