ARE REAL PIPE STORIES
Some Queer Fads of Men who En-
Joy Smoking.
From America.


These pipe smokers are the queer
est people on EARTH" remarked the
repairer as the door closed and the
morning customer disappeared in the
cowded streets. Just look at this
pipe. Six feet of stem and a bowl
large enough to hold half the plug
cut in the country store. Actually it
isn't worth marking down to 80 cents
and placing on the bargain counter.
but that fellow is willing to pay 81
for having it repaired Just because
he imagines smoke created in any 9TH
er bowl and drawn through another
stem wouldn't taste like tobacco.
Particular? Why, New York pipe
smokers are the most fastidious peo-
pie on the earth. They have more
fanciful Ideas to the square inch than
the women who throng Twenty-third
street on bargain day. Just let a pipe
smoker get his head set on one par
ticular pipe and you could bail the
Hudson river dry as easily as you
could break this attachment. He
would pay SO for repairs to an old
pipe that wouldn't sell for 90 cents.
That's why I'm IN the business"
The number OF habitual pipe smokers

At the National White House
A Veteran Usher Uses Peruna

Thirty-six years in the White House
is the record of Thomas F. Pendel, an
usher. who was appointed Nov. 8,
1864, by President Lincoln. He is the
oldest employee at the White House,
and is the only survivor of the force
on duty at the Executive Mansion dur
ing the Lincoln administration.
He is still hale and hearty as the day
he entered the service, although he is
IS years of age.
Although this interesting old gentle
man has found small need of medicine
during his life, he has tested the vir-
tues of the world famous catarrh rem
edy, Peruna. In a recent letter he says:

Peruna to any one suffering from
stomach trouble in any form, es-
peciaIIy in catarrhal trouble of the
stomach" THOS. F. PENDEL.
Every human organ is subject to ca.
tarrh so DR.. Hartman says in a recent
lecture at The Hartman Sanitarium.
No part or organ Of the human body is
secure from catarrh. Catarrh goes ev-
erywhere, stops nowhere.
1t spreads and spreads and, If not
cured, pervades the whole body. 1t
never stops when once it gets started,
unless cured.
Below is given a list of the organs
most commonly affected by catarrh,
with the most prominent symptoms
caused by it.
Catarrh of the head and frontal sinus
headache; catarrh of the eyes, watery

IN HANDS OF RECEIVER.
Augusta Chronicle Company to Be
ReOrganized Receivership Bill
Signed by Judge Barrow.

I
Signed by Judge Barrow.
Augusta, Aug. 2S.-The Chronicle
was put into the hands of a receiver
last night. The receiver is Mr.. E. B.
Hook, who was appointed by Judge
Barrow of Savannah.
The application for a receivership
was made on a tax f ia to the Sa-
vannah judge in the absence of Judge
Crimson, by Judge Galloway, acting
for Mr.. Landon Thomas. 1t is under
stood that this receivership is for re-
organization.
Mr. Hook, when seen by a reporter,
said that he had received official noti-
fication of his appointment as receiver,
but had no statement to make as to
the assets and liabilities of the COM
pany.
1t was learned from Mr.. ]. w.
Dickey that liabilities of the company
consist of $4,000 mortgage bonds on
the Chronicle building; $31 900 of pre-
ferred stock, and $4,000 of common
stock. The most of this latter was
owned by Mrs. Patrick Walsh, and was
by her sold to a syndicate about a
year ago. This syndicate re-organized
the business under the presidency and
management of MIR. E. B. Hook, but
the experiment did not prove a sue
cess. The load to carry was too heavy
and the business was on a losing ba-
sis. Hence the need of a re-organi-
cation, and of a receivership.
The paper will continue to be issued
as heretofore, pending a final adjust
ment of its financial troubles The
| Chronicle is the oldest paper in the
South, and for sentimental reasons, if
no other, it is hoped that it will arise
! like the Phoenix out of it's ashes, to
a stronger life and greater beauty
! than the old.
The Savannah morning news., 1902-08-24


The receivership papers were brought
to Savannah Friday night by Judge
E. Fl. Galloway of Augusta, who call
ed on Judge Pope Barrow at his home
secured his signature to the bill, asked
that nothing be said about the mat
ter, then took the next train back to
Augusta.
About an hour after the paper had
been signed Judge Barrow was called
UP on the Augusta long distance tele-
phone by Mr.. William K Miller, an
other prominent lawyer of Augusta,
Who asked Judge Barrow if he would
be at home the following morning, at
the same time explaining that he had
an important bill that he wished the
judges signature to.
Upon further inquiry Judge Barrow
found out that Mr. Miller was coming
to present bill of exactly the same
kind as that of Judge Calloway's. ex-
eept that it was in the interest of 9th
er persons. Under the circumstances
he notified Mr.. Miller that he had
signed the bill of Judge Galloway. Mr..
Miller Immediately decided that it
would be useless for him to come and
so did not make the trip. 1t seems a
foregone conclusion that the Chronicle

CUBAN RECIPROCITY.
EFFORTS OF SUGAR GROWERS TO PRE-
VENT CONCESSIONS SENATE
MAY INTERVENE.
TR7 TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.

Washington Jan. 19.-Emboldened by the in
creased strength Of their lobby and what ap-
pears to be a growing timidity in the House
owing to the threats of political vengeance in
the next Congress election. the beet root sugar
leaders now saying with air of confidence
that they have killed all hope of reciprocity
with Cuba. There appears to be some cause for
their tubilation, so far as the House is con-
cerned, but 1t is reasonably certain that If
events show that the House cannot be trusted
to grant tariff concessions to Cuba the object so
earnestly sought by the friends Of the island
will be attained by resort to the treaty making
power of the government The beet root sugar
people. however, do not seem fully to appre-
ciate the strength of the opposition arrayed
against them. Apparently they have not taken
into account the potent fact that both the Presi-
dent and the Senate are pledged to reciprocity
with Cuba and that when these two powerful
factors act together the House usually finds a
way gracefully to yield. else the House is
wholly ignored and forced by the Senate to a
course which the average member of the lower
chamber regards as the direct path to his politi-
cal grave.
1t Is admitted that the House in this instance
Is sorely beset. because il is known that owing
to the humaniteS OF the case the country de-
mands generous treatment of Cuba the ad-
mnistration and the Senate declare emphati-
cally that this treatment must and will be ac-
corded. and the we'll organized lobby of the
beet root industry threatens 10 send Demo-
cratic House to Washington in 1903 If any con-
cessions be made to Cuba.
In view of this peculiar situation it is believed
that aside from the agitation that will be kept
up by the beet root people, all the interest in
the subject Of a Cuban reciprocity hereafter
VIII be centred upon the Senate wing of the
Capitol. where there is a good deal of quiet talk
as to the extent of the concessions that will be
granted An element of considerable influence
Is contentious for absolute free trade with the
island IN tobacco and sugar. while another eIe-
ment-and unquestionabIy the dominant one
will be content If reduction of % per cent on
sugar and 30 cents straight on tobacco is pro-
vided for by some form of action at this ses-
sion Of Congress.
Senator Platt, Of Connecticut who is one of
the furthest sighted and most powerful mem
bers Of the Senate. will finally work out the
plan as chairman of the Committee on Relations
with Cuba, but with his characteristic caution
he is ayerse 10 discussing the subject for pub
licattOn at this juncture. Senator Spooner OF
Wisconsin. who. like the Connecticut statesman
is sagaciOus and cautious is known 10 be giving
10 the subject the most earnest and painsta king
consideration. with the view OF rendering sub
stanttal aid TO the real friends OF Cuba.
The Senate Will trust these two experienced
Senators ID work out the most practicable solu-
tion OF the problem.
