N R. KNOX RETURNS
The Attorney General Back
in Washington.
STAY TO BE BRIEF
GOING TO FRANCE ON PANAMA
CANAL BUSINESS.
Taking of Testimony in Merger Case
to Begin Next Month-The
Greene-Gaynor Case.

Attorney General Knox returned to
WASHINGTON today and will remain here
until Monday morning going over the af-
fairs of his department and comforting with
the various subordinate officials. Mr.. Knox
is getting everything ready for his de-
parture for Paris to proceed with the in
vestigation of the legal title of the Panama
canal company to the property the COM
pany offers to sell the United States. Mr..
Knox will sail on Wednesday next for
France. He hopes to be able to push
through his work abroad and return to
Washington by the early part of October.
If there are no technical or legal obstacles
in the way Mr. Knox will prepare a COM
plete report to the President as to his in
Vestigations. 1t is not known what may
arise. however, to prevent the completion
of the investigation by that time. Mr..
Knox has received several cable messages
from Charles w. Russell, special attorney
of the department who is now in Paris,
informing the Attorney General as to the
status of the preliminary investigation that
has been made. 1t is hoped nothing out of
the usual may arise to prevent the Presi-
dent obtaining the full information neces-
sary in the matter of deciding on a canal
route The President it is believed had
hoped to be able to reach conclusion by
the time Congress meets in December, so
sage to that body
The Merger Case.
While in Boston last Saturday General
Knox had a conference with Solicitor Cen
eral Richards and Attorney Day, who rep
resent the government in the merger and
other important cases pending. In the
merger case said General Knox, the TAX
ing of testimony will begin early in Sep
tember The court has appointed Attor-
ney Ingersol of st. Paul examiner and he
will go to New York for the convenience
of the parties concerned. When the taking
of testimony shall have been completed,
the court Will set d day for argument"
The Attorney General has not yet re-
ceived the reply of the Pacific Commercial
Cable Company, which desires to lay the
trans-Pacfic cable, to the conditions at
tached to the provisional consent of the
President. Nothing Will be done by the de-
partment in the matter until this reply
shall have been received. Mr.. knox~ has
not heard anything of the intended resig-,
nation of Solicitor Genera. Richards. be-
yond what he saw in print. He does not
believe that the solicitor general intends to
resign, as he would have mentioned it to
him at the Boston conference. Il certainly
hope there is no truth in the story" he
said, adding high tribute to Mr.. Richards

IRONING A SHIRT WAIST.

Not infrequently young woman
finds 1t necessary to launder a shirt
waist at home for some emergency
when the laundryman or the home SER
want cannot do 1t. Hence these direc-
tions for ironing the waist: To iron
summer shirt waists 80 that they will
look like new 1t is needful to have
them starched evenly with Defiance
starch. then made perfectly smooth
and rolled tight in a damp cloth. to be
laid away two or three hours. When
ironing have a bowl of water and a
clean piece of muslin beside the iron
ing board. Have your iron hot, but
not sufficiently SO to scorch. and abso-
lutely clean. Begin by ironing the
back. then the front. sides and the
sleeves, followed by the neckband and
the cuffs. When wrinkles appear ap-
ply the damp cloth and remove them.
Always iron from the top of the waist
to the bottom. II there are plaits in
the front iron them downward, after
first raising each one with a blunt
knife. and with the edge of the iron
follow every line of stitching to give 1t
distinctness. After the shirt waist is
ironed 1t should be well aired by the
fire or in the sun before 1t is folded
and put away, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer.

Over half the women have catarrh in

that their disease is catarrh. To dis
tinguish catarrh of various organs it
has been named very differently.

Disease Worse Than Battle.

The fact that the British losses by
deaths from disease during the Boer
war were 13,25O. compared with 1872
killed or fatally wounded in battle,
shows how much more fatal disease
is than shot and shell under the con-
ditions of climate in South Africa. Not
even the terrible havoc wrought by
the Beers in their ambuscades was SO
fatal as the enervating climate and
the perils incident thereto.

Plain Living In Scandinavia.

Dyspepsia would no longer be the
national disease in America II the peo-
pie OF this country would adopt plain
diet similar to that of Norway and
Sweden. "Gout is unknown among
the Swedes and Norwegians, and the
rosy cheeks and clear compilations of
the young people of those countries
are the result of the simple food the
children eat," says a United States
counsel in Norwegian city. Ameri-

PELVIC CATARRH.
CAUSES
Palpati0n of the Heart Cold Hands and Feet Sinking
Feeings--Pe-ru- Cures Catarrh Wherever Located.

One woman has dyspepsia, another
bronchitis. another Bright's disease,
another liver complaint, another con-
sumption, another female complaint.
These women would be very much sur
prised to hear that they are all suffer-
ing with chronic catarrh. But it is SO,
nevertheless.
Each one of these troubles and great
many more are simply catarrh-that is,
chronic inflammation of the mucous
lining of whichever organ is affected.
Any internal remedy that will cure ca
tarrh in one location will cure it in any
other. This is why Peruna has be-
come so justly famous in the cure of
female diseases. 1t cures catarrh
wherever located. Its cures remain.
Peruna does not palliate-it cures.
Hon. Joseph b. Crowley, Congressman
from Illinois, writes from Robinson, ILL.,,
the following praise for the great ca
tarrhal tonic Peruna. Congressman
Crowley says:
"Mrs. Crowley has taken = number
of bottles of. Peruna on account of
nervous troubles. 1t has proven
strong tonic and lasting cure. can
