New York, Jan. 2O-Rev. DIR.
Charles Parkhurst gave out letter
addressed to Mayor Low, which had
been adopted by the executive com
mittee of the Society for the Proven
ton of Crime, of which Dr. Parkhurst
is president. The opening paragraph
read:
while the Society for the Proven
ton of Crime considers itself distinct
ly an allay of the present municipal
government, there are certain princi-
pies of action to which we have in
formally adhered and which we deem
it incumbent upon ourselves to pur-
sue and to urge, even at the risk of ex-
cepting the old policy of those whom
we would like in all respects to second
and support"
''In all our past activity as a So
ciety," says the letter, 1--WE have pro
ceeded upon the distinct understand
ing that law exists for the purpose
of being obeyed."
The'letter goes on to say that the
first two weeks of the present regime
have made it entirely indefinite as to
what civic righteousness in this city
is and what it is not. and to that eX-
tent have operated to put the reform
administration in the same critical at
titude toward law as was that occu-
pied by the administrations of 1892
1898. 1897 and 1901"

vention of crime. the society is not
quite certain any longer what is
crime" and says that "the atmosphere
is clouded with ambiguity emanatins
from administrative incertitude," an6
that "the situation is morally intol
cradle"
The letter further says that there
is not very much to choose between
a Tammany administration that ha!
bad principles and a reform admins
tration that has good principles, bu
is afraid to use them
The letter. which is signed by DR.
Parkhurst, concludes by demanding o
Mayor Low, that you brace your ad
ministratiOn in accord with you
oath" and that he summon resource
at his command to work frankly an
: resolutely in suppressing open o
clandestine violations of recognize
statutes"
I This action, which is entirely TO
the prevention of crime. is construe
as a breach between the refOrmer
and the reform administration.

cuss the letter.

At largely attended meeting of Pa
cific coast senators and representatives
recently a final determination was
reached as to the course to be pursued
on Chinese exclusion legislation and
the following resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That the Pacific coast
senators and representatives approve
the policy and general provisions of the
bill which they have requested Repre-
sentative Kahn to introduce in the
house and Senator Mitchell in the SEN
ate; but this shall not effect the privi-
lege of any member to perfect the same
by amendment"
The bill thus to be introduced was
agreed upon at the meeting. AS finally
adopted the insular section reads as
follows:
THAT from and after the passage of
this act the entry into the American
mainland territory of the United
States of Chinese laborers coming from
any of the insular possessions of the
United States shall be absolutely pro-
hibited; and the prohibition shall ap-
ply to all Chinese laborers as well as
to such as were in the insular posses
sions at the time or times of acquisi-
ton thereof, respectively, by the
United States, or to those who have
come there since. and those who have
been born there since. and those who
may come there hereafter and those
who may hereafter be born there"
The decision arrived at is the result
of six weeks consideration of the gen
eral subject of Chinese exclusion, the
purpose being to bring all the Pacific
coast interests together into united
support of one measure. The bill as
presented had a clause covering the
Chinese coming from the Philippines
but the sentiment at the meeting was
in favor of making the provision more
sweeping.

Tucker-A Horrible Experience
With "A Happy Ending.

How Mrs. Anna NJ. Tucker, of $50
Kossuth avenue, Utica, n. Y, was
saved from horrible fate when deaths
jaws were almost closing upon her is
told in the following statement made
by her to a reporter.
cit was soon after the birth of my
little boy" she said. "Three different
doctors had done their best for me, but
they all failed to do me any good. My
case seemed to be a combination of
nervous and stomach troubles. l had
fainting spells, my food did not digest
and caused me great distress. My head
felt very badly and at times 1 was de-
lirious. l lost in weight from 100 to
90 pounds, l had no color, my feet and
hands were cold and my limbs had a
prickly sensation as though asleep. L
was not refreshed by sleep although l
slept heavily. l learned of DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills from published case
similar to mine that had been cured by
the pills. l took three or four boxes
before 1 was certain that l was being
benefited, but continued their use until
L was entirely cured.
81 am glad to recommend DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People for
they are the medicine that saved my
life. l do not believe that ordinary
medicine could have cured me-"

Mr.. Isaac Brock, of McLennan county,
Tex, has attained the great age of Ill
years, having been born in 1888. He
is an ardent friend to Peruna and
speaks of it in the following terms:
"During my long life l have known
a great many remedies for coughs,
colds, catarrh and diarrhoea. 1 had
always supposed these affections to be
different diseases, but l have learned
from DR.. Hartman's books that these
affections are the same and are prop
erly called catarrh.
GAS for DR.. Hartman's remedy, Pc
runa, l have found it to be the best, if
not the only reliable remedy for these
affections.
"Peruna has been my standby
for many years, and attribute my
good health and my extreme age
to this remedy. Ii exactly meets
all my requirements"
81 have come to rely upon it almost
entirely for the many little things for
which / need medicine. l believe it to
be especially valuable to old people"

There is nothing more necessary to health
than sleep and rest If these are denied YOU.
It you rise in the morning more tired than
when you went to bed, there is an affection of
the nerves plainly present. II your heart is
weak. or there is an inherited tendency in
that direction, your weakened nerves will
soon so affect your hearts action as to bring
on serious, chronic trouble. DR. Miles Nef-
vine is a nerve tonic, which qaiets the nerves,
SO that sleep may come, and it quickly re-
stores the weakened nerves TO health and
strength. DIR. Miles Heart Cure is great
blood and heart tonic which regulates the ac-
ton of the heart, enriches the blood and i'm
proves the circulation.
Some time ago / was suffering severely
with heart trouble. At times my heart would
seemingly stop beating and at others il would
beat loudly and very fast. Three to four
hours sleep each night in ten months was all
