KING LEOPOLD IN PERIL.

A prominent member of the Belgian
Government, absolutely devoted to King
Leopold and the royal dynasty, was in
Paris on Saturday and expressed himself
in a most pessimistic way as to the
future of the royal household. 'The
King" he said ''made deplorable mis-
take in his attitude toward the Countess
Lonyai The incident will yet prove his
undoing. The public protest has been
temporarily subdued on account of the
solemnity of the circumstances, but the
indignation of the people still rankles,
and it will soon burst into such storm
that the Kings abdication will be un-
avoidable within six months. Possibly
Prince Albert will then be allowed TO as
cend the throne, but a graver revolution
is more likely, which will result in the
establishment of a republic. "King
Leopold has lately grown intensely un-
popular. His supercilious detachment
from the affairs of the Kingdom, his
continuous escapades in Paris, at
Biarritz and Nice, his curious finan-
cial manipulations in connection with
the Congo State, his practical abandon
ment of the Queen, even after her ply
sicians had warned him that she was
doomed; his cruelty to Princess Louise
of Coburg and new to the Countess Lon
yai, together with tho surrender of all
his power into the hands of the reaction
airy clerical parry, have finally rendered
King Leopold's very name loathsome to
the working and middle classes. The
king, however, will not be surprised or
displeased when an abdication is wrought
from him. He has long looked forward
to the possibility of enjoying his i'm
mense fortune in freedom. Most of his
money is now invested in France, Eng
land and America. He is now building
a fine residence in Paris and is all ready
to move out of Belgium.
''However, if he finds the movement
is likely to dispossess his cherished
nephew also, King Leopold may show
fight, in which case the conflict between
the army and the people will be bloody
one whose result no one can forese."

to the Associated Press: .The comet
discovered at Lick Observatory on
September by Prof. c. d. Perrine has
grown steadily brighter, as predicted,
until at the present time it is very
visible to the naked eye. For the
benefit Of those who may care to observe
it l give its approximate position as
follows: September 2S, very close to
the second-magnitude star Alpha
Cassiopeiae;, September 80 about %
south of the second magnitude star beta
Cassiopeiae. 1t then enters upon the
Milky Way and for several days prob
ably will not be so readily detected,
"On the evening of October 6 it will be
about 80 north of Alpha Cygni. The
comet should then be two or three times
as bright as it is at the present time.
1t will continue to move rapidly to the
southwest, overtaking the sun early in

MOST people think that catarrh is a
AVA disease confined to the head and
nose. Nothing is farther from
the truth. 1t may be that the nose and
throat are the oftenest affected by ca
tarrh, but if this is SO it is SO only be-
cause these parts are more exposed to
the vicissitudes of the climate than the
other parts of the body
Every organ, every duct, every cavity
OF the human body is liable to catarrh.
A multitude of ailments depend on ca
tarrh. This is true winter and summer.
Catarrh causes many cases OF chronic
disease, where the victim has not the
slightest suspicion that catarrh has any
thing to do with it.
