tates, nor deranges the appetite. Peru
ma is not one of the drugs that must
hurt in order to cure. Immediately up
on taking Peruna the patient begins to
feel better. No symptom follows the
use of Peruna except an improvement
of the disease, and once introduced into
the home it nearly always stays.
The experience of Mr.. Burress of In
diana, with the use of Peruna in the
cure of his little child Helen is an ex-
perience that has been repeated many
thousand times throughout the length
and breadth of the United States.
If your child is sick and you hardly
know what the trouble is, you may be
quite sure that catarrh in some form or
phase is at the bottom of it. If this be
true, Peruna will be sure to bring re-
lief. 1t is we'll worth giving a trial.
If you do not derive prompt and sat
isfactory results from the use of Pc.
runa, write at once to DIR. Hartman,
giving a full statement of your case,

valuable advice gratis.

HAYTI'S PAPER BLOCKADE.
Will Not Be Recognized Unless She
Has the Force to Back 1t Up.

Washington, Sept. Determination
has come to the State Department
from Minister Powell of the press re-
port that the Haytian government has
declared Gonaives and some of the
other Haytian ports, which are in the
hands of the Firminists, closed to COM
merce.
The right of a government to close
or open ports in normal conditions
never has been questioned. But
as certain South and Cen
trail American republics have shown
a disposition to avail of this privilege
in case of revolutionary troubles to
close ports, which they did not actual
ly control, the State Department has
adopted the policy of declining to rec
ognize such DEGREES, which, after all,
are nothing more than paper blockades.
Therefore, this last Haytian order will
not be allowed to interfere with COM
merce with the ports named, unless
the Haytian government can, by a dis
play of naval force, either drive off the
insurgents or maintain an actual block
ade.

A QUART OF PEARLS.
Wisconsin Man Exhibits Collection
of Gems Found I'm That state.


of Gems Found I'm That state.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Louis c.. Bunde has returned to Mil
waukee from the pearl fisheries in the
western part of Wisconsin, and is ex-
hibiting to his friends a quart measure
OF the precious jewels. nearly all of
them being of perfect color and form.
One pearl found in the Mississippi
river near Prairie du Chen this season
and bought by Mr. Bunde is valued at
$780, 900. Three others in the last collec-
ton of the Milwaukee man are worth,
together $500.
In the last four weeks the fishermen
in the vicinity of Prairie du CHEN
have had exceptionally good luck, find
ing $751; worth Of pearls, nearly all
of which were bought by Mr.. Bunde.
There are nearly $500 pearls in the
lot some of which are as large as a
marble, while others are as small as a
French pea.
One of the pearls bought by Mr..
Bunde a few days ago resembles a
doorknob, but is seriously marred by
''wart" in the center of the top sur
face; otherwise this pearl would be
worth several thousand dollars, as the
lustre and color are perfect, and the
size is remarkable.
One of the three gems of the collec-
ton is nearly half-inch in diameter.
and is valued at $4,000, another 81,
900, and the third at $1,000. The first
of the three has the perfect gray color
and the lustre of the most precious
gems among the pearls. The second is
smaller and a trifie darker, while the
third is Of pink tint and smaller
than either of the others All three
OF these gems, however, are perfectly
round.
With few exceptions these pearls
were found in the bed of the Missis-
sippi river, where the principal fisher
les are now situated, although some
finds are being made in other streams
in the state.
1t requires no knowledge of the BUSH
ness to make a successful pearl fisher
man; any one can dredge for clans.
and the clans are just as liable to be
found In one place as another 1t is
all luck, and the greenhorn at the
business is apt to beat the veteran: In
fact, 1T is said that nearly all of the
gems found this season have been
found by men who had no experience
whatever.
Nearly all Of the pearls found in
Wisconsin have been bought by Mr..
Bunde, and he has invested a fortune
in them, for 1t is now about fifteen
years since the first pearls were found
In Sugar river in the southwestern part
of the state.
The so-called $4,000 pearl, which is
the size of a bantam egg, is said to be
without mate in this country.

WHY MURRELL CONFESSED.

and whose evidence has resulted in ex-
posing the Doodle gang, made state
ment tonight giving his reasons for
returning. He had geen promised. he
said, that the gang would aid his wife
and supply her needs and would keep
him in funds. He discovered that the
gang was destroying her letters to
him, in which she told of her impov-
erished condition.
1 did not receive one cent from the
gang while l was gone, and il was
simply my own mental anguish and
the fact that my wife was destitute
and probably starving in ST. Louis that
led me TO come back. My wife wrote
me that she had discovered that her
letters had been destroyed and she came
herself to Mexico. l agreed with her
that 1t was better to make a clean
breast of my wrong-doings and do
what l could to rectify my mistake.

ffehbuent OF BrIusn ASSOCIATION
Condemns His COuntry's Back
wardness in Certain Fields.
Belfast, Sept 10.-The seventy-sec-
ond annual meeting of the British As
ISOLATION for the Advancement of Sci
ence commenced here tonight The
attendance was larger than at any
former gathering of the association,
with the exception of that of 1901, at
Glasgow.
The address of Prof. James Dewar,
president-elect of the association, was
largely devoted to the review of physi-
cal chemistry. In the coure of his re-
marks, President DeWar referred to
recent munificent contributions to sci
ence, and especially to the gifts of An
drew Carnegie and the late Cecil
Rhodes. He said he thought the means
chosen by Mr.. Rhodes were not of the
most effective which could have been
selected, and that it must be remem-
bered that Mr.. Rhodes aims were po-
litical as much as educational.
He had a noble and worthy ambi-
ton to promote the enduring friendship
of the great English-Speaking COM
munities of the world" said Prof. De-
War, "and he was probably also influ-
enced by the hope that a large influx
Oh strangers would broaden OXFORD s
nations"
Referring to Mr. Carnegie's endow-
ment of Scottish universities and the
foundation of an educational institu-
ton at Washington as a more direct
benefit to higher education than the
requests of Mr.. Rhodes, Prof. DeWar
remarked that the establishment of
the institution at Washington meant
securing of the old world, as we'll as
the new, for the best men in every de-
partment. In fact, he said, the assid-
uous collection of brains for the bene-
fit of America is similar to the collec-
ton of rare books and works of art
which Americans are now carrying on
so lavishly.
Speaking on the subject of paplied
chemistry, Prof. DeWar made a scath-
ing criticism of the ''deplorable back
wardness" of Great Britain in his
field, as compared to foreign countries,
especially Germany
The explanation of this disastrous
phenomenon" he gave in three words,
want of education" He said it was
the failure of schools to turn out and
of manufacturers to demand properly
trained men which explained Great
Britain's loss of valuable industries
and tn ecountry's precarious hold upon
others.
