KING ALBERT IS DEAD.
Was Last of the Generals Who Com
 manded German Army In 1870.

Dresden. Saxony, June 19.-I<tng Albert of Saxony, last of the generals whc com p1snded the German army of 1870. died to- day.
 As his majesty grew older he shared in the idealization which influenced the group of great statesmen which sur rounded William I of Germany. His sober life produced few incidents fir the Protes- tan-Catholic country which he ruled in his unobtrusive support or his own church. the Roman Catholic. and never caused conflict with popular opinion. It is understood that Emperor William will at once suspend his tour of the Rhine and return to Berlin to take part in the funeral of the dead King.

 General Strike.

Wilkesbarre, Pa. June 1e.-The arrival of President W. R. Russell, and Secre- tary-Treasurer W. D. Ryan of the Illi- nois miners organization for a confer ence with the national president. John Mitchell, was the only event of any i'm portance around strike headquarters to- day President Mitchell after the meet ing said the Illinois men came to meet him for the purpose of "discussing west ern mining matters" But neither he nor Mir. Russell nor MT. Ryan had anything to say beyond that they felt well satis- fled with the situation bo.- east and west
 Information has reached here through different sources that the soft coal min CTS in the west are not unanimous for general strike and some of them, 1t is said. are against a partial suspension. Those who oppose a strike are willing 70 give financial aid to the anthracite strik- CTS, but some of the leaders are not ready to accept this sort of aid.

THE RACE QUESTION.
Democratic Members of House Com mlttee File Strong Minority Report.

Washington. June 19.-The Democratic members of the house committee late to- day filed a. minority report on the bill creating a commission to inquire into the status of the negro race, The minority say that there does not seem to be the slightest necessity for the creation of this commission. nor for considering the status of the negro race apart from other races.
 The negro race can never reach It's full development" says the report ''un- til 1t Is permitted by the government to work out It's destiny ss do the other races with which 1t comes in contact"
 The report further asserts that the real object of the inquiry Is covertly to secure tho investigation proposed by Crum- packer in his resolution. Such inquiries, he stated, are not of advantage to the great bulk of the negroes and benefit only those who make merchandise of their politics. It IS urged also that the progress of the mass of the negroes in the south Is dependent upon the cooper ation and good will of the whites among whom they live.

DR.. Hartman receives many letters
from Catholic Sisters all over the Unit

ceived from a Catholic institution in
the Southwest reads as follows:
A Prominent Mother Superior Says
II can testify from experience to
the efficiency of Peruna as one of the
very best medicines, and it gives me
pleasure to add my praise to that of
thousands who have used it. For years
suffered with catarrh of the stomach,
all remedies proving valueless for re-
lief. Last spring l went to Colorado,
hoping to be benefited by change OF
climate and while there friend adj
vised me to try Peruna. After using
two bottles I found myself very much
improved. The remains of my old dis
ease being now SO slight, I consider
myself cured, yet for while intend
to continue the use Of Peruna. am
now treating another patient with
your medicine. She has been sick with
malaria and troubled with leucor-
rhea. I have not a doubt that q cure
will be speedily effected"

cous membrane, restoring 1T to It's nor

these diseases. Catarrh is catarrh
wherever located, whether it be in the
head, throat, lungs, stomach, kidneys,
or pelvic organs. A remedy that will
cure it in one location will cure 1t in
all locations.
Peruna is such a remedy. The Sis
tiers of Charity know this. When ca
tarrhal diseases make their appear
ance they are not disconnected, but
know exactly what remedy to use.
These wise and prudent Sisters have
found Peruna never-failing safe
guard. They realize that when 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 il
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 full statement of your case,
and he will be pleased to give you his
valuable advice gratis.

it is interesting to Americans to note
the fact that while the new British loan,
bearing interest at the rate of 2$4 per
cent, was sold at 931a, United States
government bonds, bearing interest at
the rate Of Per cent, are quoted at
lo9%s. This, as an American newspaper
commentator pertinently remarks, makes
on each million dollars difference Of
S1Go,OOO in the proceeds, and in addition
an annual difference of $500 in the i'll

that the stable demand for the , per
