bust Health There Seems
to Be No Way OF Entirely

from Colds.
The most careful person ia oRtentimes
the one who suffers oftenest with colds
and coughs.
A draught will creep in in spite Of all

sudden sore-throat, full, puffy, stopped

Winter weather and colds seem but

There are great many remedies for
colds,
Remedies guaranteed to cure a cold in

plenty, but there Is one remedy thet not
only cures coughs and colds promptly,
but fortfles tho system against future
attacks.
This remedy Is Peruna.
Poruna not only cures cold quickly
and permanently, but it so heals and
strengthens the inflamed mucous men,
branes that one is much less liable to
catch cold than before taking it.
II! is an ideal safeguard for all winter
diseases. One half the ills OF winter
are caused directly by an in1amed con-
dition Of the mucous membrane Of some
part Of the body. The mucous mem.
brano lining the nose, throat and lungs
arc often affected In winter.
A remedy that acts bencfcially on
these infamed membranes would be a
logical cure for these diseases. With
healthy mucous membranes no one need
fear tho most severe weather.
Catarrhal diseases cannot exist when
Peruna is used, and kept on hand during
tho winter months.
Matilda Hogan, daughter Of Post.
master at Woodslee, Ont, writes:
Following close upon severe cold,
contracted few months ago, had con.
slant duh headaches, considerable fever
and feeling Of extreme lassitude, sore
ness in tho joints and loss of appetite
and sleep. l was simply sick all over,
but two bottles OF Peruna cured me and
made me feel altogether different. The
bad symptoms disappeared in short or
der and was soon restored to perfect
health, all through few bottles Of Pc
runa. Since that time number OF
my friends have been taking Peruna
and all seem to feel well satisfied with
the results,"--Matilda Hogan.

.HERE is probably a greater num-

" HERE is probably greater num-
Der of rich men in the new Con-
gress than has been found in
any previous edition of that
legislative body.
Though by no means a "MilliQnaires'
Club" the Senate has a large minority
OF very wealthy members. while even in
the House of Representatives there is a
sprinkling of undeniable plutocrats.
Scattered all over the fashionable
northwest section of Washington are
beautiful residences owned and occupied
by Congressmen-mostly Senators. though
a few of the finest belong TO Rcpresen
tatives. such as Hit OF Illinois and Dali
zell OF Pennsylvania.
They are veritable palaces, furnished
in the height of magnificence, and usual
ly with superb stables attached Nothing
more costly than these Legislators man
sions, indeed, can be found anywhere in
this country outside of New York.
Senator HaIe,s Mansion.
The most beautiful of all the Senatorial
palaces in the Capital City is owned by
Eugene Hale, of Maine. on the northeast
corner of Sixteenth and X Streets. 1t is
built in the old Colonial style, somewhat
modified to meet modern requirements.
The Senator obtained the bulk of his
fortune with his wife, who is a daughter
of Zach Chandler. and it is probable that
he is worth 81 ,0OG 600 or s50OO,00O. bon
vivant of the first water, he enjoys the
good things Of life in an unusual degree
and does a great deal of entertaining.
Among the foremost in point Of wealth
comes James Mcmillan OF Michigan, who
has fortune of at least SO, 600, 900, most
of it accumulated in the business Of build
ing railway cars. However, Mr.. Mcmillan,
who began life poor. is interested in
multitude ofscorporate enterprises.
He gives much in charity, is conspicuous
socially, and owns very large and hand
come dwelling on Vermont Avenue, near
Thomas Circle.
ZcighBors of the President.
The ablest business man in the upper
house, as most people admit, is Marcus
A. Hanna. who has more irons in the fire
than any other man in Congress. Outside
of his enormous iron and coal interests
he owns lines of lake steamboats,. hotels,
an opera house, and goodness knows what
else.
II II be supposed that he is worth sl5,-
oG0. 600 the guess will certainly not over
shoot the mark When he came to Wash
ington he rented Don Cameron's house,
opposite Lafayette Square-the dwelling
occupied by Vice President Hobart up to
the time OF his death-and. being within
a few rods of the White House, he IS able
TO keep an eye upon his young friend aud
protege, Mr. Roosevelt.
The President has another near neigh
bor In Chauncey VI. Depew, who lives
directly opposite the White House, across
Lafayette Square. He has rented the
famous Corcoran House, formerly the
property Of Daniel Webster, and in more
recent times occupied by Calvin s, Brice,
OF Ohio.

likely to be able to contradict the state
mcnt that he is probably worth at least
So 0GO.Oc0.
Maybe his fortune is much greater, in
asmIch as many opportunities for making
money by sure things" in speculation
have been thrown into his way during the
long period of his connection with the
Vanderbilts.
Another Senatorial palace. at the north
east corner of Sixteenth and 7. Streets,
is owned By Redleld Proctor, of Yer
mont, who is probably worth $4,000, coo
Or S5,000,000. He began life n poor boy
became an attorney and, being appointed
receiver Of a marble company in his ma
tive State one lucky day, brought tie
concern through in such shape that the
grateful stockholders made Kim president.
So, at all events, the story goes. At
the present time Proctor practically con-
trolls the marble output of Vermont.
Fornker's Fortune.
Joseph D. Foraker, of Ohio, has for
tune of 100000, or 100000, gained
chiefly from electric trolleys. He has
made more Of specially OF trolley law
than any other man in the United States,
and for many years has been large
stockholder in such enterprises. His resi-
ience on Sixteenth Street is one of the
handsomest IN Washington.
A highly respectable linendraper was
the grandfather Of the digniied and i'm
pressiye Henry Cabot Lodge, whose father
married a daughter of George Cabot. A
large fortune descended to the young
statesman by inheritance, and he has !n-
creased it by good investments.
Probably he is worth a couple of mil
lion dollars, and he keeps up superb es-
Establishments in Boston and at Nahant, in

The Comedy of Life.

'It is amusing to see the comedy of life
enacted down there every day while Con-
gress is in session." continued the man.
You see, We are so high up here that we
can get the right perspective on the
things happening down below, while at
the same time we can't hear what is be-
ing said and can only guess from actions
what the conversations are. 1t is much
better that way.
"As an example, I see, time after time,
sight like this. Congressman, or may
be a Senator, will dart out through the
door and start across the big circle of
marble floor. Right behind him comes
breathIess individual, hurrying along and
evidently, judging by the wild light in his
eyes, In search of somebody. He spots
the legislator and braces him on the
black stone spot directly under the God
dess Of Liberty.
There is a little by-play that would
have made Richl Drinsly Sheridan ia

yETHO else in Washington has so
wv good an opportunity to view
humanity as the man in the
dome?
The man in the dome himself says that
there is nobody so eXcellently situated in
this respect as he is, and he ought to
know, for he has been looking down upon
crowding, struggling. and jostled human
beings in the rotunda OF the Capitol for
a great many years. Every day of his
life, as he peers down from under the big
circular painting of American Progress
under the very cap of the dome, he can
see men and women of all sorts and con-
litions, and if business is dull he has
ample time to philosophize.
Every sort of man. woman, or child in
the world passes across that place" said
the man in the dome, looking down from
his dizzy height, and pointing to the mar
BILE floor of the centre OF the Capitol.
Il see them every day, rich men, poor
men, men neither one nor the other, and
men of all colors and nationalities. The
beggar. the thief. the politician. and the
office: ecker. oh yes, all OF these, and
many mere.
