cous membrane, restoring it to it's nor- maLstate, would consequently cure all these diseases. Catarrh is catarrh wherever located, whether it be in ths head, throat, lungs, stomach, kidneys, or pelvic organs. A remedy that will cure it in one location will cure it iu all locations.
 Peruna is such remedy. The Sis- ters of Charity know this. When ca- tarrhal diseases make their appear~ ance they are not disconcerted, but know exactly what remedy to use. These wise and prudent Sisters have found Peruna a never-failing safe guard. They realize that when a dis ease is of catarrhal nature, Peruna is the remedy. Dyspepsia and female weakness are considered by many to be entirely different diseases-that dyspepsia is catarrh of the stomach and female weakness is due to catarrh of the pelvic organs the Sisters are fully aware, consequently Peruna is their remedy in both these very com mon and annoying diseases.
 If you do not receive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.

SaIve for the Sultan.

The personality of the sultan of Turkey is much misrepresented He possesses a sensitive nature and his domestic affections are strong. His powers of work are exceptionally great, and he never takes stimulants except an occasional cup of coffee and a cigarette. His dress is simple-a back frock coat cut in Turkish fash ion and white waistcoat. with a gold watch chain. No great display, yet when he gives you an audience on a Friday. after the ceremony of the Selamlik. he impresses you with his picturesque dignity and placid face. He used to be one of the best pistol shots in Europe.-Chicago Record-Her- aid.

THIS PRICE INCLUDES EVERYTHING.
Admiral Walker, as Chairman of 18TH
milan Canal Commits siOn, Receives
Offer and in Turn Transmits 1t to
President and Secretary Hay-COn-

Washington, Jan. GA formal prop
osition to sell the Panama canal proper
ties to the United States government
for $40,000,000 Saturday was submit
ted to the authorities here. 1t was
made by M. Boeufve, representing the
company, to Admiral Walker, as chair
man of the isthmian canal commission.
M. Boeufve acted under cable instruc
tons received Saturday from the Pan
anna canal officials at Paris. Admiral
Walker brought the proposition to the
knowledge of the secretary of state
and the president, going directly to the
state department for that purpose.
The submission of this offer carries
out a plan which has been under con-
sideration for the last two weeks. The
first step was taken when NJ. Hutin
retired from the presidency of the
Panama Canal company. This brought
about an entire change in the manage
ment, the main feature of the change
being that those in authority desired
to make definite offer of the Panama
properties to this government for $40,-
100000. There have been numerous
meetings at Paris with this end in
view, but the one which brought about
the final proposition was held Friday.

Called for which Carnegie Gives
S1O,OOO,OOO.

Washington, Jan. 6.-Secretary Hay
and a number of gentlemen interest
ed in the Carnegie project of a ma
tional university, met at the state
department Saturday and formed an
incorporation known as the "Carne-
gle Institution" 1t is understood
that Mr.. Carnegie has removed the
obstacles that existed to the accept
| ance of his $1O,OOO,OO0 donation to
the cause of education, and Satur-
days action was the first step to-
ward giving legal form and substance
to the proposition. Besides Secretary

preme court; d. C. Gilman, late pres
ident of Johns Hopkins university;
Charles D. Walcott, superintendent
of the geological survey; John S.
Billings, ex-surgeon general of the
navy, and Carroll d. Wright, COM
missioner of labor. Marcus Baker,
of the coast survey, also was present,
not as an incorporation, but charged
with the preparation of the articles
of incorporation.
The meeting consumed about an
hour. There was an indisposition on
the part of those present to enter
into details of the project based on
desire to allow Mr.. Carnegie him
self to make the public announce
ment.
The articles of incorporation of the
Carnegie institution were filed with
the recorder of deeds in this city Sat-
urday.' The incorporators are Sec
rotary of State John Hay, Edward
D. White, Dr. John S. Billings, Daniel
C. Gilman, DR.. Charles D. Walcott, of
the geological survey, and Carroll D.
Wright, commissioner of labor. The
articles fix the name and title of the
institution as the Carnegie institu-
ton" and show that it is organized
''for a perpetual term" It's objects
are the promotion of study and re-
search, the power to acquire, hold and
convey real estate and other proper
ty and to establish general and special
funds; to assist Investigations in sci

A TRIPLE WRECK.
Mail Train on Pennsylvania Road
and Two Freights COIlide-FOur
Persons Killed.

Johnstown, Pa, Jan. 6.-Because of a
wrong signal at the Nineveh tower a
fast east-bound Pennsylvania railroad
mail and express train ran into a slow
freight ahead five miles west of this
city and few minutes later west
bound freight crashed into the wreck,
causing the death of four persons and
the serious injury of at least five 9th
ers. The wreck occurred about ten
p. m. Train No. IA got clear block
at the tower and, running ahead at full
speed, crashed into the rear of extra
freight No. 400, wrecking the engine
and two cars of No. IA and the ca bin
and two cars of the freight. West
bound No. 800 almost Immediately
piled into the debris, the engine and
ten cars tumbling into the river. The
dead:
James G. Black, engineer of No. 1913, found
dead in his cab; perhaps drowned.
Fireman William Paul, of Pitcairn, died in
hospital from injuries.
Robert S. Nolan of Pitcairn, first brake
man on No. 1913.
Engineer James Winters, of Pittsburg,
in charge of No. IA.
INJURED: William Steele, fireman; Ed
ward Gallagher brakeman; George Smith,
brakeman; John Fogarty, mail clerk; Jesse
E. Butler, brakeman.
The injured, it is thought, will all re-
cover. The wreck occurred on a sharp
curve and the mail train engineer
could not stop after coming in sight of
the freight ahead, while the west
bound freight ran in before fagman
could be sent forward.

Comment has been made on the
small amount-between 100000 and
So, 00O-left by Sir Walter Besant. It
may, however, be safely asserted, that
except Sir Walter Scott, no novelist
has ever made such sums as would be
regarded by men in the money market
as wealth. Scott's income averaged
for years $4,000 a year. Dickens left
100000; Thackeray less; Bulwer
Lytton, with very keen eye for the
main chance and a considerable but
encountered estate, 100000.

frightful jump from a trestle so
feet high in a frenzied effort to es-
cape death from an approaching
train. She was crossing the Duck
creek trestle on the Cincinnati, Ports

idly moving train came upon her. 1t
was impossible for her to reach the
end of the trestle and she leaped just
before the train reached her. She
was alive when picked up, but later
died at the hospital.

offer through MIR. Edward Lampre,
secretary general of the company, who
is due to arrive at New York on the
steamer Aquitaine Sunday; but the
meeting appears to have taken view
that the offer should be made without
waiting for the arrival of Mr.. Lampre.
Accordingly the cable instructions
were forwarded to M. Boeufve. He
went at once to the office of the 18TH
milan canal commission and advised
Admiral Walker of what had been the
determination of the company.
The Notification.
In substance the notifcat ton deiiv-
cred to Admiral Walker was as fol-
lows:

itself ready to transfer to the government
of the United States on payment of $40,-

mated at that amount by thesthmian canal
commission, in conformity with the terms
and conditions of the estimates of said
commission"
Except to submit the proposition
in the foregoing terms there was no
discussion with Admiral Walker as to
what further steps were likely to be
taken except to bring the proposition
to the attention of the secretary of
state and the president.
Admiral Walker called at the state
department at noon and communicate
ed to Secretary Hay the offer which
M. Boeufve had submitted in behalf of
the canal company. The matter was,
soon after, brought to the attention
of the president.
President to Notify Congress.
1t can be stated that the president
will communicate the communication
to congress. This course will be pur-
sued because the administration
holds that the canal question is now

consider the subject it should have
