Twenty-Five thousand employees of

der issued by President Hughitt of
that system yesterday. The circular
states that the pension plan now in

the service of the company for twenty
years may be retired on pension.
Heretofore thirty years connection
with the corporation was required to
receive the benefit of the pension ar
rangment. The circular reads:

age of 40 and who have been twenty

The Grippe.

The grippe is a disease which seems to
become more prevalent every year. 1t
becomes almost habit. Those who have
had it once can scarcely get through the
following winter without having il again.

Everyone should keep their systems
toned up. Fortify the human citadel SO
that it will be impregnable to the on
slaughts of this most distressing of al
maladies.
There is nothing that will keep you in
condition and help better to ward off dis
eases than Vinol. There are many people
who last winter took Vinol simply as
preventative and have proved conclu-
sively that by keeping themselves in good
condition they escaped the grippe that
attacked other members of the family who
neglected to take the same precautions.
We can tell those who have had tho
grippe what to take to help them towards
speedy recovery. 1t is this same Vinol.
Take it when you first have the grippe.
It will not go so hard with you. Your
recovery will be quicker, and when you
are able to be out, you will not suffer
from those terrible after effects that
make this disease so dangerous.
Remember that VinOlis strengthening,
flesh creating and an arrester of all
wasting diseases.

wife and two children who were suffering
from the after effects of grippe. They
had taken several remedies without doing

w. Il. Leeds, the recently elected
president of the Chicago, Rock Island
& Pacific road, arrived in Chicago
yesterday to assume the duties of his
new office. 1t was II o'clock before
the new president reached his office
in the Grand Central station, Fifth
avenue and Harrison street. He con-
sumed some time in meeting the vari-
Gus heads of departments and then
went into the business of the road.
He departed from the Office at .
o'clock and went to his apartments
in the Auditorium Annex. There is
considerable speculation among Of
ficers and employees of the road re-
dent. just what changes he will
make or innovations in the operation
of the system are questions that are
agitating those connected with the
road. In the administrations of the
last two presidents of the Rock Is
land, II. II. Cable and w. G.. Purdy,
few changes in officers or methods
were effected. During ten years, with
the exception of the presidency, there
has been but two important shifts in
the officers of the system. One of
these was when General Manager St.
John resigned about six years ago
and was succeeded by w. III. Trues-
dale, now president of the Lackawan-
ma road. and the. other when the lat
ter resigned and III. \. Parker was
appointed vice president and general
manager.

GREATER THAN GREAT.
The Coming Allentown Fair to be Held
September 23 to 80.

poPpoihpoN ~ 80.
The Great Allentown Fair will be held
for four days from September 23 to 26,
and from present indications will be one
OF the greatest exhibitions in the hstroy
OF the society. 1t is, without question,
in the front rank of best and largest
agricultural and industrial exhibitions
In the country. 1t is annually visited by
thousands Of people who repeat their
visits regularly, and there is no County,
State, Pan-American or Worlds exhibit
tions held anywhere that can boast of
such large crowds as are seen yearly at
the "Great Allentown Fair" Its pop
ularity is worldwide, not only as an
exhibition for the farmer and mechanic,
the merchant and house-k keeper, but
also for the horseman and all lovers of
sport.
The races this years will number fif
teen for the week and will be the most
exciting and hotly contested, as there
will be more than $4,000 paid for speed
alone, besides a large amount for pre-
miums and exhibits. The society has
one of the best half-mile tracks in the
world as was shown by the wonderful
performance last year OF Prince Alert,
who, on two different occasions, equall-
ed the half-mile track record OF the
world OF 2.04%, record which prob
ably no other track in the country can
claim.
The free attractions before the grand
stand will be OF very interesting nature
secured at an enormous expense, includ-
ing balloon ascensions, cycle whirl, a
troupe of Japanese vaudeville artists
and a great many other attractions too
numerous to-. mention. Besides band
concerts there will be many other
unique and other special attractions, all
included for one price of admission
The midway will be unusually large
and attractive and will surpass in char
acter and excellence anything ever shown
at any fair In the county.
All the railroads will run excursions
and sell excursion tickets at greatly re-
duced prices good for the whole week,
and daily special excursions will be run
from all points. 1t certainly will be the
place to 60 for all those who want to see
the greatest fair in the country.

SIavs Protest Again.

Some Hungarian born Americans are
still excited and indignant over the
banner sent to this country by the Ma
tional League OF Hungary and received
with much ceremony three weeks ago
Anthony s. Ambrose, supreme president
of the National Slavonic Society, has
forwarded to Secretary Hay, at Wash
ington, second letter OF protest and
inclosed document, which, he believes,
shows conspiracy on the part of some
officials of the Hungarian government
to gain political control in the United
States.
This document, President Ambrose
writes, Is ministerial com mmunication
No. 393, dated February A, 1902, and
addressed by the Hungarian minister Of
religion and instruction to the cardinal
prince prImate Of Hungary. Ostensibly,
It's bearing is ON "the spiritual care Of
Hungarians who have emigrated to
America" In his letter President Am
brose says:
"A perusal of this secret ministerial
order inclosed will reveal to you, be-
lieve:
THAT the Hungarian minister Of edu-
cation is anxious to preserve the Hun
garians living in the United States to
their faith and country;
THAT an apostolic visitor is to be ap-
pointed at Washington and maintained
there at the expense OF the Hungarian
government, to keep the Ruthenians
and the Sloyaks in America under his
surveillance;
THAT the internal politics of Hun
gary render this step In the United
States advisable"

If your are suffering from kidney or
bladder disease, the doctor asks: do
you desire to urinate often, and are you
compelled to get up frequently during
the night? Does your back pain you?
Does your urine stain linen? Is there
scalding pain in passing it, and is it
difficult to hold the urine back? II SO,
your kidneys or bladder are diseased"
Try putting some of your urine in a
glass tumbler, let it stand twentyfour
hours. If there is a sediment, or a
cloudy, milky appearance, your kidneys
are sick.

Strikers Nineteenth Week.

Today began the nineteenth week of
the coal strike. The date on which
Senator Platt and others predicted that
the strike would end has passed and the
hope which was instilled because OF that
prediction has been succeeded by feel
iteration BY the coal presidents during
the week that no concessions would be
made, and the resolutions passed by
local unions Of the United Mine Workers
renewing their allegiance to their Off
GERS and pledging themselves to continue
the strike until concessions are granted
show that neither side to the controversy
is weakening.
The spasmodic efforts of Pennsylvania
politicians to end the strike are not
taken seriously by the leaders on either
side, and 1t is asserted that their meddl
ing has nullified the work of others who
were engaged in promoting peace and a
settlement. Until they and their buff
foonery pass off the stage and make way
again for those who are sincere the
operators are not expected to make the
promised moves which will terminate
the struggle. Corporations are not
going to do the bidding Of their own
creatures, and that is what would re-
suit If the coal road presidents acceded
to the requests of the political coterie
who have pushed themselves forward
during the past ten days.
