CLEARS CHARLIE ROSS CASE.
New York Legislator Explains the
Details of the Famous Kid
naping Case.

Albany, N. Y, Jan. 11.-Senator
Plunkitt, of Manhattan, introduced in
the senate bill to punish kidnapping of
children under 16 years of age, by fix
ing the limit of imprisonment for such
an offense at rs years.
Senator Plunkitt said he had facts
in his possession concerning the alb
duction of Charlie Ross in 1874 which
had never been published. He said:
"The abductors of Charlie Ross were
New York river thieves, Mosher and his
companion, The wagon in which Ross
was carried away was hired in New York
by Mosher and driven to Philadelphia,
so as to prevent any possible discovery
of the offenders. The wagon was driven
about 80 miles out of Philadelphia and
was there abandoned, Mosher and his
companion, accompanied by their victim,
taking passage on the train to New
York.
Fear kept Charlie Ross quiet. Upon
arriving at New York Ross was taken
on one of Mosher's river craft, and
finally, to prevent detection. Charlie was
thrown overheard in the bay, after be-
ing tied to iron so as to sink and make
coming to the surface impossible.
1.-The New Yorker who let the horse and
wagon to Mosher never claimed his prop
erty for fear of being charged with COM
plicity. When Mosher was shot while
attempting to rob the Van Brunt man
sion at Bay Ridge he tried to explain
the Charlie Ross affair, but death came
as soon as the name passed his lips"

Manila, Jan. Seen. Macarthur has

Manila, Jan. 9.-Several insurgent

stroyed recently in various districts
of Luzon and Laroe. One camp was

THE YEARS COINAGE.
Some Interesting Figures Compiled
from Report of Director
of the Mint.

Washington, Jan. 12.-Mr. George
E. Roberts, the director of the mint,
in his annual report shows that the
coinage of the past year was in excess
of that executed in any previous year
in the history of the service, aggregat-
ing Sal, 1851, 900, as compared with
$136, 5,676 in the last fiscal year. The
value of the gold coinage was slightly
below that of the previous year, being
$107,937, ITO, as compared with $685.
177,1S0 The coinage of silver dollars
was 1854, as compared with $751;
254,7o9 in the previous year. The chief
increase was in the output of SUBJ
sidiary and minor coins, which sur
passed all records and it is stated may
doubtless be attributed to the eXtraor-
binary activity of retail trade through
out the country. The coinage of sub
sidiary silver amounted to 57,114,270
pieces of the value of $12,S76, $40, and of
minor coins to the extraordinary total
of 101, 301,753 pieces of the value of 3d.
243,O17. The seignorage or profit on
this coinage was S., 477.525.

La grippe is, strictly speaking, epidemic
catarrh-that is to say, variety OF acute
catarrh which is so contagious and runs a
course more or less definite, the same as
scarlet fever, whooping cough, etc.
During the acute stages of la grippe it Is
not very fatal disease, but the condition
in which it leaves the system has caused the
death of countless number.
Indeed nearly every person who has had
la grippe within the last three years finds
himself more or less deranged by the per-
nicious effects of this disease. The major
ity of those who have escaped death find
life scarcely worth living.
If this vast multitude of people could only
know with what certainty Peruna would
relieve them of all the bad effects which la
grippe has brought upon them, what an un-
told amount of suffering could be averted!
Thousands have already heard how quick.

Cudahy mansion at an early hour Fri

who has been making experiments

Utility of substance to the eye is no
