 "I tookit faithfully for seven weeks and am happy indeed to be able to say that am entirely cured. Words fail to express my gratitude. Perfect health once more is the best thing I could wish for, and thanks to Peruna I enjoy that now.'-Minnie E. McAl- lister.
 The great popularity of Peruna as a catarrh remedy has tempted many people to initiate Peruna. A great many so-called catarrh remedies and catarrhal tonics are to be found in many drug stores. These remedies can be procured by the druggist much cheaper than Peruna. Peruna can only be obtained at uniform price, and no druggist can get it a cent cheaper.
 Thus it is that druggists are tempt ed to substitute the cheap limitations of Peruna for Peruna. It is done ev cry day without doubt.

Aoung Woman Fails to Obtain Emu
ployment i'm New York.


Detective Frank Baur went to New York
last night to bring to this city Jeanette
Cole, seventeen years old. who left here
Saturday without the consent of her par
ents, In the belief that she would be able
to secure employment in Greater New
York. Her father. Emory Cole an cleo
trician, who lives at 641 Maryland avenue
northeast, called on Inspector Boardman
Tuesday and reported her absence. He told
the inspector that his daughter recently left
seminary in Georgetown and expressed
a desire to earn her own livelihood.
Not finding employment here she called
at local employment bureau and obtained
the address of a woman in Brooklyn who
wanted help Upon reaching Brooklyn she
found that the woman to whom she had
been sent had already secured the help
needed. She was then furnished another
address, but before finding employment she
was forced to receive pecuniary assistance.
When she related her circumstances to
Mrs. Ackley ofS369 Greene avenue the lat

Father Moran, pastor of the Church of the
Nativity, on Madison street. Upon hearing
the girls story the priest had her taken to

almost every detail. He is a man think
very, very highly of.
Other Chinese Statement
Another man of whom l would speak in
highest terms is the viceroy of Nankin,
Liu Kun-Yi. At the time of the TAPPING
rebellion, Liu was clerk in q lumber yard
at Hankow, in Human province, most pow
erful and warlike province of the time
Liu raised a company for the imperial gov
eminent and came through a series of
well-deifned military successes, to be one of
the most prominent generals in the army.
In China military rank also carries civil
rank, so at the close of the rebellion Liu
was civil governor, although he had
never held an office before that time He
was governor for about Il year. For the
last thirty-five years he has ruled as vice.
roy. lie is now about eighty years old.
"Liu was viceroy at Canton when General
Grant visited the city. Liu remembers the
general very well, indeed. He entertained
Nellie Grant at his home and she had an
opportunity of observing the domestic con-
ditions of mandarins household better
than any other American woman perhaps.
Llu Is pro-American, indeed, and does not
hesitate to express himself such on all
and any occasion. He is plain and out
spoken in his belief that President McKin-
ley is today the greatest statesman in the
world.
"Liu and Sheng are the greatest factors
in the friendliness that is felt toward for
eigners in China today.
Chang Chin-Tung. viceroy of Hankow
is another excellent man. He is about six
ty-tive years of age and has been viceroy
for a long period. He is a prominent re-
former and has written many books on
Chinese affairs. He is known as one of
the greatest living opponents of the doc
trineS of Confucius. These men | have
mentioned, together with the viceroys of
Fu-kow and SEE Chuan provinces, held
quiet sixteen out Of nineteen provinces in
China and prevented the spread of the
Boxer movement They are the men to
whom all honor and consideration are due
They took the course not through any spe-
ciai love for the foreigners. but through an
enlightened view of the best interests of
their country.

in Shanghai meet these men and talk with
them in regard To the crisis at Pekin and

seem anxious to do so. asked them why
it was. and they replied that the people of
the United States knew TO one in China
other than Ii Hung Chang. ana it was not
their place TO hunt up new character to
write about and from whom an expression
of views would have little weight with
their readers. 1t was because the CORE
spondents did not know the men about
whom they finally came to write that so
many misrepresentation resulted
