Brooklyn Lad When Pressed for an

AuWer CurpTlScu alS 4edcueE.
 Candor is good quality If not carried to excess. as a teacher in one of the Brooklyn schools is now willing to ad- init. The class in reading had come to the phrase "a slender birch. tree and the teacher. not quite sure that the children fully comprehended the meaning of ''slen- der" sought to develop it from familiar words. You all know what stout means, do you not?" she asked.
 ''Yesm."
 Have you ever seen a stout woman?"
 "Oh, yes: Mrs. Brown is very stout" said one girl
 Right" said the teacher. Now. look at me: I am not stout, am I?'
 Nom" came the chorus of voices.
 Well, if am not stout what am I?" A perplexed look overspread the faces. Finally one little follow ventured to rise his hand.
 Well, Freddie, do you think I'm stout?' Nom"
 Well. then. what you call me?"

A Remarkable E Expe rience with Pe.rrnl After BeiGg Given Up to De.

BURNETT, cAL.-Mr. Andree Ander- con. Deputy County Clerk, Louisabesbro County, Cal, and ex-Postmaster. writes:
 "No one seeing me today would think that I was at deaths door a few years ago with pulmonary troubles. I had frequent bleeding from the lungs, my stomach was out of order and when I came here for my health no one thought would recover.
 My brother in the East had been cured of . very hard cold on the lungs by using Psruna and he wrote me and advised me to try it. I had little faith but thought would give 1t a trial. I noticed a change in my appetite the very first week and found that I soon began to sleep N1iE Gradually began to feel better And took on flesh. Recovery was slow tor I was far gone, but after seven months steady use of Peruna, was my old self once more.
 1T now weigh IFS pounds. am in flns health and spirit and have been . we'll man for two years, thanks to Peruna. It certainly saved me from an untimely grave."-Andree Ander- ron.
 A Congressman's Letter.
 Hon J. H. Huling. ex-Member of Con- Cress from West Virginia, writes: "Pe- fnna as a cure for catarrh and tonic of most serviceable excellence is beyond all question and has been proved by many Of my friends who have been benefited by its use."-J. H. Huling, P. o. address, Charleston, West Virginia.
 Consumption Often Caused by ca- tarrh.
 Very few understand thoroughly that consumption is caused by catarrh. It may have begun as catarrh of the head or throat. It silently and gradually creeps down the bronchial tubes to the lungs After the catarrh has reached the lungs. it sets up the disease known as consumption. 's@' ilPeruna is not recommended as an in- faiiible cure for consumption. It is not likely than any remedy will cure con- sumption after the disease is fully estab- iished. but Per,ma will cure catarrh. It will cure catarrh when it is located in the throat. It will cure catarrh after It has reached the lungs. if it is not put of too long.
 Many cases of catarrh of the lungs thai have been pronounced consumption and given up to die are cured by Peruna. Thi' happens every day. Like MT. Anderson

CoLLIERIEs BEING FLOODED.
Mines In the Shenandoah Regions Have
Been Abandoned by the Companies
Owning Thenas

Shenandoah, Pa, Aug. 7.-William
Stein, the state mine inspector for
the Shenandoah region, yesterday
announced that FIVE collieries under
his jurisdiction, which have an esti-
mated total value of $1,5o0,OOO, have
been rendered useless by reason of
being flooded and have been perma-
nently abandoned by the companies
owning them. Four of them-Bear
Run, East Bear Ridge, Kohinoor and
Preston No. 3-belong to the Phil
adelphia and Reading Coal and Iron
company, and he places their value at
about 100000 each. The other col
iery is the Lawrence and is owned
by the Sheafer estate, of Pottsville,
and also represents about $780, 900.
Mr.. Stein estimates that out of the
So collieries in his district only IA
are in a condition for immediate
operation if the strike were ended.
The others are in such a condition
that it would require anywhere from
one to four months to clear them
of water and make repairs. He said
the average time would be about two
months. The abandonment of the
five collieries will compel 1000 mine
workers to seek employment in other
parts of the region, and they may
have trouble in finding it if the
thousands of men who left the re-
gion during the strike should re-
turn

the American Association of Affairs In
the Philippines.

Chicago, Aug. 6.-The American
Association of Catholic societies met
yesterday afternoon and evening at
the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton hall. In the afternoon, after
the addresses of welcome by DIR. H.
S. Taylor, on behalf of Mayor Har-
rison, and NJ. F. Girten, on behalf of
the Catholic societies of the city, the
convention went into executive ses-
sion and organized. Short addresses
were made by Bishops Messmer, of
Green Bay, Wis; McFaul, of Trenton,
n. j., and by the president of the
federation. 1t was evident from the
tenor of the remarks made in the

not heed the manifesto of Arch
bishop Ireland, warning them against
a discussion of the administrations
methods in the Philippines.
At the evening meeting Bishop Nc
Faul was the principal speaker and
directed attention to the treatment
of the friars and the school ques-
ton in the Philippines. He also

IS IT ANNEXATION :?
DiscOurag;ng Reports in Regard to
Cuba's Financial Condition.
Some of the Most Important Reforms In
augurated by the United States in the
Island Being Offset for Want
of Funds

Washington, Aug. 5.-The persist
ent and discouraging reports that
reach Washington concerning finan-
cial and business conditions in Cuba
are tending to strengthen the feel
ing referred to in dispatches imme-
diately after the return of Gen. Wood
that the new republic cannot long
be maintained and the people of the
island will seek annexation within
a year. Official figures received show
that the customs receipts of Ha-
vana, which amounted to an average
of more than $4,000 a day during
the American occupation, have
dropped to less than $4,000 a day,
and have occasionally been as low as
$1,000.
The reduction of the revenues has
compelled the Cuban government to
curtaii its expenditures. In doing
that it is offsetting some of the most
important reforms inaugurated by
the United States while in control.
1t is neglecting the sanitary meas
ures inaugurated by Gen. Wood in
Havana and Santiago. Already there
has been fear of an outbreak of yell
low fever in those cities. Should such
a danger appear it would he incum-
bent on this government to inquire
why the sanitary measures had been
abandoned after the Cuban constI-
tutional convention had adopted tie
Platt amendment. That amendment
provided that Cuba should execute
plans to be mutually agreed on for
the sanitation, of the island to pre-
vent the recurrence of epidemics and
infectious diseases. Without any de-
sire to cmbarrass the Cuban govern
ment, the United States government
must insist on the continuance of
these plans of sanitation as a means
of protecting the country from yell
low fever. The surgeon generals of
the army and navy are watching the
situation with concern. The whole
situation is said to be most embar-
RAISING to President Palma in this
experiment of plotting Cuba as an in
dependent government with eXpen-
siye governmental machinery and
reduced income. The whole Cuban
people may be driven TO seek annex
alton before congress meets in De-
cember, unless relief comes from
some quarter.
The state department has received
a cablegram from Minister Squires
that the house has passed a bill au-
thorizing a loan of $35, 10000 I'm
der the Platt amendment the United
States is bound to take cognizance
of every action of the Cuban govern
ment relating to loans.
The Cuban senate has also APP
proved in part the raising of loan
of 100000 for the benefit of the
sugar cane growers.

A REFoRMER MURDERED.
Isaac FInkelsteIn, Whose Crusade Closed
Eight Gambling Houses in Des AIoines
Recently, KILLED with q SIngIetree.

Des Moines, Ia, Aug. 6.-Isaac
Finl1lestein, whose crusade against
public gambling closed the eight
houses in Des Moines two weeks ago,
was murdered at ten o'clock last
night in Walnut street, at an alley
entrance between Sixth and Seventh
streets. He was on his way to his
home, less than ~ blocks away,
when man stepped out of the
shadow of the alley and struck him
blow over the head with single
tree. Finklestein fell to the ground.
Four men less than block away
saw him fall and ran to assist him.
He was dead when they arrived, his
skull being crushed.
The murder is supposed to have re-
suited from Finklestein's action in
prosecuting the gamblers. He did
not object to public gambling, but
wanted the city to receive revenue
from it, he said, and when the police
did not raid the houses he fled COM
plants with the sheriff. The result
ant raids proved so expensive that
the gamblers closed their places.
