AMERICANS BUY
 PARIS CAR LINES
WILL INVEST MILLIONS IN DE- VELOPING THE STREET RAIL WAY SYSTEM OF THE FRENCH
 cAPITAL-sEST PAYING ROUTE.

New York, November 15.-Concerning the report that an American syndicate has secured control of the Paris Com pagnie Generale de Traction. which owns a number of lines entering that city, the Paris correspondent of the Herald cables:
 "A new factor will very shortly make itself felt in the affairs of the tramway lines of Paris. A party of American capi- talsts is about to invest a large sum of money-millionsi it is said-in the develop ment and strengthening of lines con trolled by the Campagnie Generale de Traction of Paris. The principal and best paying route controlled by this company runs from the place de POpera through the rue de Quartre Septembre to Les Lilas. Another line runs from the forti- fications past the Auteuil race course.
 "The operations of the company have not been very successful of late. princi- pally owing to the fact that 1t has not been able to secure appliances necessary for the proper development of it's lines
 "A rival tramWay organization known as the Thomas Houston Company has been endeavoring for some time past to secure control of the Campagnie Generale de Ira ction, but the latter fought against this absorption, preferring to secure ad- ditional capital from outside sources It has now practically succeeded and it is believed that very shortly these Parisian tramway lines will be practically under American control"

ous chemist succeeded in combining them, together with other antiseptics into a pleasant, effective tablet.
 Druggists sell the remedy under the name of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and 1t has met with remarkable success in the cure of nasal catarrh, bronchial and throat catarrh and in catarrh of the stomach.
 MT F. N. Benton, whose address is care of Clark house. Troy, N. r., says: When I run up against anything that is good I like to tell people of it. I have been troubled with catarrh more or less for some time. Last winter more than ever. Tried several so-called cures but did not get any benefit from them. About six weeks ago I bought 50-cent box of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and am glad to say that they have done wonders for me and do not hesitate to let all my friends know that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are the right thing"
 MT Geo. J. Casanova of Hotel Grifron. West Ninth street. New York city. writes: "I have commenced using Stu arts Oatarrh Tablets and already they have given me better results than any catarrh cure I have ever tried"
 A leading physician of Pittsburp ad- vises the use of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets in preference to any other treatment for catarrh of the head. throat or stomach.
 He claims they are far superior to in- halers, salves. lotions or powder, and are much more convenient and pleasant to take and are so harmless that little children take them with benefit, as thev contain no opiate. cocaine or any poison ous drugs.
 All druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh Tab lets at 50 cents for full size package and they are probably the safest and most re- liable cure for any form of catarrh.

Dear Sir: I have been great sufferer from bladder trouble for two years and my case was of a very serious nature compelling me to have several painful and dangerous operations. l have also taken many different remedies; l taken Swamp Root three years Warner Sale cure two years, and they only gave temporary relief.

 My doctors said my bladder had grow ed together in three places and l was suffering almost death. No man living can say more than I can say for your Texas Wonder. And I call 1t World Wonder and I hope all who suffers will give a trial
 Wishing you success, am,
