r IKE A TERRIBLE CYCLONE grip

T IKE A TERRIBLE CYCLONE grip
bacillus has passed over our country,
- from the Atlantic to the Pacific, leav.-
ing behind it dark cloud of anguish and
despair.
Catarrh follows grip as effect follows
cause.
A multitude of catarrh victims will spring
up in the trail of the awful epidemic of grip
that has just passed over our fair country.
The hope to these people is Peruna.
Most people know this already.
Everyone who has had the least touch of
grip, should not fail to take course of treat
ment with Peruna.
Peruna eradicates every vestige Of the dis
ease and leaves the system in normal con-
dition.
Hon. Joseph B. Crowley, Congressman
from Illinois, writes from the National Ho-
tel, Washington, d. g., as follows:
"After giving Peruna fair trial / can
cheerfully recommend your remedy to any
one suffering with coughs, colds, la grippe
and all catarrhal complaints. "-J. b. Crow

Over Rapid of American
Holdings In German Steamship Lines

Berlin, November 16.-Considerable
mystery prevails here regarding the
Meeting of the directors Of ocean steam
ship companies at the Hotel Bristol
last evening. The meeting was, appar-
emily, unexpectedly called. Herr Bal
lin, director Of the Hamburg-Amcri-
can Line, and H. d. p. Lathe, president
of the North German Lloyd Line, came
first and were received by the emperor,
and then the other directors and secre-
taries were summoned. A representa-
tive of the government also attended
the meeting.
he Kleines Journal says the ocean
companies directors a held confer
encesr and discussed ways and means OF
preventing the increasing American in
fuence over German lines. The paper
adds that New York capitalists have
purchased several million marks OF
shares in the neutrality-suspicious. line
during the past few weeks, but the eX-
element over the reported purchase by
a New York life insurance company of
over five million marks Of the North
German Lloyd Company's obligations,
the Kleins Journal considers un1usti-
fed, since this purchase does ont affect
the shares.

MISS STONES KIDNAPPERs

Sofia, Bulgaria, November 16.-The
brigands who captured Miss Stone and
her companion have reduced the
amount Of ransom they demand TO co.
600 pounds Turkish. Coincident with
this intelligence is the information that
the leaders Of the band, If convinced
that this is more than Mr.. Dickinson
will give, would accept 1900 pounds.
Even this sum is greatly beyond the
cash at Mr.. Dickinson's disposal.
Therefore. unless the captors OF the
missionary further abate their demands
there is no hope Of an immediate set

An agent who is in touch with the
brigands reports hat they recognize
they made a mistake in kidnapping
Miss Stone. They would. however. on
slider it worse than q bluuder 10 re-
lease her without an adequate ransom.
There is no longer any fear regard
ing the ~brigands' intentions toward the
captives. They declare Themselves to-
be not robbers, but patriots performing
an obnoxious task in the interests Of a.
holy cause. The majority Of the kid
nappers are peasants ard farmers, di-
rected by a secret committee TO exc

the United States and Denmark relative

AN ABDOMINAL DISCRIMINATION.

1t is astonishing how many abuses,
wrongs. disappointments and cruelties
are perpetrated in governments of va
rious kinds. The Chicago Tribune is
exposing some disgraceful conduct Oh
the part of certain officials in Cook
county in which Chicago is situated.
The prisoners in the p~enitentiary Of
Joliet are supported upon ASP cents a
day for each, which many thousands of
families, it is said, of honest and indus
trious toilers are subslsted on but s1.25
a day, and many on much smaller in
comes. The criminals get over SO a
week and Of course Tive high" The
Tribune in contest shows that the "cost
of food, clothing, heat, lighting, and
medicines for the inmates of the county
insane asylum, the ~poorhouse, and the
hospital was only IS cents each per day
for the yea ending November 80, 1900,
and % cents each Der day, including
salaries and al general charges. In
other words. says the Tribune, 8 600
of the sick and poor of cook county are
allowed only a little more than two
IIllIuS us nlucn LOT IOOU, ClOlDllS, ISnl,
heat and medicines as are the inmates
of the county Jail for food alone, and
less than two-thirds as much for all
maintenance expenses, including medi-
cal and other attendance, as are the
state prisoners at Joliet"
That statement is enough to reveal
the %iniquity and injustice. The GRIM
nal class is pampered and favored,
while the unfortunate and sorely af-
f1icted are stinted, pinched, and perse-
cuted. That is a shameful thing for
a rich and prosperous community or for
any people classed as civilized and mis-
called Christians. The Washington
Post comments wisely and pointedly.
1t says:
IF q man love not his brother whom
he has seen, how can he love God whom
he has not een?' Those 5000 sick and
poor are, by every principle of humanity
and by all the teachings of Christian
ity, entitled to kindness. Their situa-
tomas does the situation of the sick
and poor in all ~cities-affords the best
practical test of the g~enuineness of
the religion Of the viciuage. The Tri-
bune says this is an anomalous n
humiliating state of affairs"

The Charleston News and Courier con-
sidering the probabilities says:
lit appears, however, that Oklahoma
and Indian Territory. with a population
of half a million each, are in a position
to urge their wishes effectively, and the
old excuse for excluding New Mexico

towards h people Of Cuba, who do not

countrymen: for his vain efforts In be-
half of wronged and oppressed Ireland:
for his high, noble, e~levating sentt-
ments and principles, for his unfalter-
ing devotion to high moral views and
methods nothing can be said in exag-
geration. Mr.. Morley gave to his hear
ers a very<impressive passage In the
following which intellectual readers
must admire no little:
1.-THE thought with which he rose in
the morning and vent to rest at night
was of the universe as a sublime moral
theatre on which the Omnipotent ORA
maturgist used kingdoms and rulers,
laws and policies, TO exhibit a soVer-
eign purpose for good, to light up what
l may call the prose of politics with the
ray from the divine mind and exalted
his ephemeral d~iscourses in a sort of
visible relation to the counsels OF all
time. I came on a letter the other day
where somebody wrote to him and said
and the words were true-You have
so lived and wrought that you have
kept the soul alive in England When
he died Lord Salisbury said of him that
he was a great Christian. Yes, n L
would add. that he was not a Christian
for nothing. I think that he u have

Wordsworth:
Earth is sick and heaven is weary
Of the hollow words that states and
kingdoms utter
When they talk of truth and justice"
He at all events, in face of all the
demands of practical politics, did his
best to bring those considerations OF
truth and justice into n minds and
hearts of his countrymen. He was a
great eacher. Besides being a states
man. besides being a patriot, besides
being a magnificent orator, besides be-
ing a scholar, he was a great moral
teacher"
There have been issued already since
the death of the statesman several
lives. During his long and brilliant
career there were other lives also pub
lished of him. A very interesting work
not a biography on him was by our
able. accomplished S%outhron. DR.. J. l..
N. Curry, whose recent admirable
work in defence of the south is widely
read and deserves to be studied by
every r and faithful southron, and
particularly by the noble Daughters
of the Confederacy." McCarthy's life
is the best, the most elaborate. 1t has
been enlarged we think. The eminent
English historical writer, Hon.. James
Bryce, has published a small volumn,
which is regarded beyond seas as i'm

lished. will De the really great study
of the noble statesman. Some few
years Age a little book was issued en-
titled Talks With Gladstone by Mr..
Tollamache. who it will be remembered,
published very striking talks with the
celebrated Greek Professor Jewett, now
dead. Mr.. Tollamache's report of the
conversations contain no little hat is
