BEAUTIES OF A GLACIER.
Scenes in the Canadian Rockies Like a
 Glorified City.

From the New York Evening Post.
 The Vaccinations of a glacier are as witching as they are dangerous Apostolic vision of a crystal city glorified by light that never was on land or sea- was not more beautiful than these vast ice rivers, whose onward growth is chronicled, not by years and centuries, but by geological ages. With white domed show cornices wreathed fantastic as arabeSque and with the glassy walls of emerald grotto reflecting million sparkling jewels, one might be in some cavernous dream world or among the tot tering grandeur of an ancient city. The ice pillars and silvered pinnacles, which scient- ists call seracs, stand like the sculptured marble of temples crumbling to ruin. Gilt tering pendants hang from the rim of blu ish chasm. Tints too brilliant for artists brush gleam from the turquoise of crystal walls. Rivers that flow through valleys of ice and lakes, hemmed in by hills of ice shine with an azure depth that is very in- finity's self.
 In the morning, when all thaw has been stopped by the nights cold, there is death- ly silence over the glacial fields, even the mountain cataracts fall noiselessly from the precipice to ledge in tenuous wind blown threads. But with the rising of the sun the whole glacial world bursts to life in noisy tumult. Surface rivulets brawl over the ice with a glee that is vocal and almost human. The gurgle of rivers flow ing through subterranean tunnels becomes a roar, as of rushing, angry sea, ice grip no longer holds back rock scree loosened by the nights frost, and there is the rever- berating thunder of the falling avalanche.

Ma. YERKEs TO BUILD AGAIN.
His New House Will Cost Five Millions and Have No Superior in New York.

From the New York World.
 Charles T. Yerkes, multimillionaire, by the purchase for s220OOO of the Simon Borg dwelling at 4 East Sixty-eighth street, the deeds for which were recorded Wednesday, has taken the first step towards erecting a $5, ,000, 900 palace in Millionaires Row.
 The 2SX100.5 plot he has purchased adjoins @ plot fronting 605 feet on Fifth avenue and 125 feet on Sixty-eighth street, on which MT. Yerkes in 1894 erected a four-story stone house at a cost of $1 500 900. The orig inal plot, purchased for $4O00OO, is now val ued at S70O,0OO owing to the advances in upper Fifth avenue land values.
 It is understood that MT. Yerkes will take up his residence in London for about two years, while he is perfecting his under ground railroad deals in the British capi- tal In the meantime the two houses will undergo extensive alterations that will transform them into one of the largest and most imposing mansions in New York.
 When MT. Yerkes built his New York house he said that he had no intention of removing his home from Chicago to New York. He simply built his New York house as he would build summer home at New port Later he changed his mind and also his residence.
 Magnificent architectural progress exem- plified by new mansions in the upper Fifth avenue district have made the Yerkes structure look too commonplace for the home of the erstwhile Chicago multi millionaire. Hence his desire for modern

Slightly Mixed.

From the Washington Star
 During the recent convention of the Wo- mans Christian Temperance Union in this city members of the reception committee were on duty at the railroad passenger sta. tions for the purpose of according propep welcome to incoming delegates Among those assigned to the work at the Pennsyl- vania depot was a particularly attractive young woman, who was as ambitious as she was inexperienced as regards the work of greeting strangers.
 A train rolled in, and as the passengers alighted therefrom the attractive young woman was all in a 1utter. She scanned the stream of humanity as it filed through the big gate and at length espied well- dressed gentleman, who not only wore q silk hat, but also white ribbon attached to the lapel of his coat.
 The attractive young woman rushed to meet the well-dressed gentleman as eager. ly as though he were her long-lost brother.
 "So glad to see you,"' she exclaimed. Come right along, and will conduct you to comfortable quarters"

 Beg pardon, miss, but isn't this a mis- take?'

CATHOLIC CONVERTS LEAGUE.
Meeting Addressed by
 Archbishop Corrlgan.

New York, January 3O-Much enthusiasm characterized the first public meeting of the Catholic Converts League, which was held last night in the hall of the Catholic Club 120 Central Park, South. Archbishop Corrigan was present and made a short speech, and many new members were enrolled at the close of the meet ing.
 One of the objects of the league as stated in the constitution adopted last night, is ito propagate the Catholic faith in America by personal example and social intercoursewith non-Catholics," and another is ito assist those who have made sacrifices for the faith, especially converts studying for the priesthood"
 Archbishop Corrigan expressed hearty sympathy with the purposes of the league. Other speakers who followed him were the Rev. George Deshon, the Rev. John Hughes, the Rev. Talbot Smith and Presi- dent Sullivan of the Catholic Club.

STOPPED \ CRAZY METRO
  Lawyer" Strong Shot and Killed Near North Birmingham Last Night.

Lawyer Strong, a negro who was suf- fering under a temporary spell of insanity, was shot and istantly killed at Rock Quarry quarters near North Birmingham at about s o'clock last night by an un- known negro who was terrified by the crazy mans actions.
 It appears that Strong, who was em- ployed at the quarters, was suddenly at tackled with insanity or some other spell, and created consternation in the quarers by running after persons, several of whom narrowly escaped falling into his clutches. The man became so wild that the negroes barricaded themselves in their houses, and some of them were almost frightened out of their wits.
 According to the story of some of the negroes, one of the men who was att tackled exclaimed Let him come" and as the demented man approached him he pulled a pistol and sent a bullet into the poor fellows body, which had the desired effect.
 The sheriff's office was notified and Deputy Sheriff Tom Jones was sent to the scene, but was unable to locate the man who did the shooting, as the negroes could not, in their excitement remember who it was that fired the shot,
 The body of the dead negro was brought to the city and taken to the undertaking rooms of the Warner-Smiley Company where Coroner Paris will hold an inquest at o'clock this morning.

Minister Wu as a Speaker.

From the Chicago Record.
 Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese minister, is becoming the most popular orator in the country, and receives quite as many invi- tations to deliver public addresses and after dinner speeches as MT. Depew His diplomatic duties permit him to accept but few of them. He is going to St. Louis, Chi cago and Indianapolis during the next month, but has been compelled to decline all other engagements If he accepted every invitation he receives he would be on the lecture platform or at some public banquet every night~S MT. Wu Is a very pleasing speaker. He has a droll way of telling truths that takes with an audience. His speeches have done much to change the opinion prevailing among the American pub- lie about his own people. There is no man in the diplomatic corps who is more highly respected or who enjoys a greater degree of confidence from the government, his col leagues and the public generally than the Chinese minister.

mansion that shall eclipse anything north of the Cornelius Vanderbilt structure on the FIfty-seventh to Fifty-eighth street block.
 MT. Yerkes' brokers and financial agents are in the dark as to his intentions. Some believe he will adopt plans for an entirely new building on the combined plots. Oth- CTS say he has decided to make the corner mansion 8 part of the new structure. If he orders his architect to proceed with plans already drawn for a new marble pal ace, it will rival the Senator Clark palace on the Seventy seventh street corner and the Mrs Howard Gould marble palace soon to be built on the Seventy-third street cor ner. The new Yerl1es palace will not cost less than $5, ,OOO, 900 before 1t is ready to wei. come the millionaire home from his campaign of financial triumphs in London.

"ON. JOHN J. FUREONG, Member u of the Thirty-fifth General As sembly of the State of Illinois, writes of Peruna as follows:
 1858 Osgood St., Chicago, III. The Peruna Medicine Co.,, Columbus, O.
 GenfIemen---"I can safely rec ommend Peruna as a remedy fhaf will cure all catarrhal troubles.
 "It was of great benefit to me as if cured me of cafarrh of the throat and lungs permanently and in q very short time. 7 am glad to add my endorsement to that Of others. "---John j. FurIO1g.
 The order in which the symptoms of chronic catarrh occur are nearly always as follows:
 A cold which hangs on longer than usual; a sensitiveness of the air pas sages, by which one catches cold easily; g continual settled cold in the head, G6rOau, or Cnest; ulSCuhISOo SAO" thicker and more offensive, loss of flesh, despondency, loss of appetite, headache or cough, and general lassi- tude.
 Now this is about the order in which symptoms of chronic oatarrh make their appearance, and If the sufferer is fortu- nate enough to find cure the symptoms will begfnto disappear in exactly the reverse order. There may be at first no perceptible improvement in the earliest symptoms, while the latter symptoms show prompt improvement.
 This is Exactly What Peruna Will Do in
 the Cure of Chronic Catarrh.
 It first invigorates the system, in- creases the appetite, then the patient begins to gain flesh, hope takes the place of despondency, and all the mis- chevious symptoms which the chronic catarrh has produced will disappear one by one in the reverse order of their ap- pearance.
