UNOFFICIAL DIPLOMATS.
A strange but Profitable Trade In
AT the Grent Capitals.

Conspicuous in society in every great
capital " the vorld-in Washington as
in ST. Petcrsburg Paris or Nienna-thore
are a certain number Of men and women,
foreigners of distinction, plying n strange
but profitable trade. They are the agents
of their respective governments. Off
cially they are not recognized as diplo-
matists by the country they serve, much
less hy the country in which they live.
Yet they are doing diplomatists' work,
often for more than diplomatists' wages.
To make clear the nature of this peculiar
profession, says the New York Sun. take
the case of the original secret service
agent.

How many women feel equal to a
dive below the watery deep? How
many of them have the nerve for it ?
Very few.
Almost every woman suffers from
a weakened condition of the mu-
cous membrane that lines her body
and this sapsher vitality and energy.
She is filled with nervous terrors
and does not find life worth living.
She is told she has dyspepsia or
female weakness" when in reality
nothing ails her but catarrh or in
fammation of the delicate lining OF
her organs.
She needs Pe-ru-na and nothing
else. It is the only medicine nee
essary to restore her strength.
What's the use of dragging through
life half alive when Pe-ru-na will
bring back all its pleasure? This
medicine is a tonic for the whole
body, and there is no doubt at all
but that you need it, for it is the
one real cure for all troubles.

of National Tragedy.

Auburn, N. Y, Oct. 31.--At daylight
Tuesday, Leon Czolsosz, assassin of
President Mckinley, was pacing the
condemned cell awaiting his coming
doom. Barely five hours afterward
his body was lying in the prison bury
ing ground with acid and quicklime
heaped about it to hasten it's disin-
tegration. BY evening the destroying
agencies had done their work and
nothing but memory. eXecrated and
abhorred, remained to the world Of the
man whose act sent it into mourning.
The electric chair, the quicl1lime,

mourn their murdered leader answered
the hiss Of anarchy and the teaching

mortality that shivered and frightened
its muscles in the throbbings of the
electric current has been wiped out
forever but, beyond and above that
small sop of satisfaction given to mil
lions of men and women who prayed
for his speedy ending. is the higher
phase of the act. Rising supreme
stretches the strong arm of the law,
merciless and relenting, hurting to his
doom the avowed instrument of muir

WHERE ASSASSIN WAS EXECUTED,

her in which the murderer of President
Mckinley was executed was not the
same in which the first electrocution
took place here. 1t is Il comparatively
new building, strikingly elaborate in
comparison with the very old prison
structures about it. It is built of gray
stone and is situated about half way
down the prison yard on the left hand,
Or south side. Entrance to it is DOS
sible either from the prison yard or
from the, main south corridor, and the
execution room proper may be entered
without passing the condemned cells.
From the time of his entry into the
death house, Czolgosz was confined in
the cell nearest to the death chamber,
so that when he entered the execution
room this: morning he had only to
step a few feet through the stone arch
and as the great iron door swung be-
hind him he was beside the electric
chair. ILL., =
