WILL INTEREST EVERYBODY
Or at Least Everyone Who Suffers
 From Catarrh.

Catarrh in its various forms is a na- tional disease, and the fact that nearly everybody suffers from it more or less leads many to neglect its proper treat ment.
 Nasal catarrh is a common cause of headaches, destroys sense of smell and if neglected reaches the throat, causing impairment and sometimes total loss of voice. Bronchial catarrh leads easily to consumption. Catarrh of stomach and liver are very serious and obstinate trou- bles, while it is now generally admitted that catarrh is the most common of all causes of deafness.
 All of the more serious forms of ca- tarrh begin with nasal catarrh the local symptoms being a profuse discharge, stoppage of nostrils, irritation and fre- quent clearing of the throat, sneezng, coughing and gagging.
 The old style of treatment with douch- es. inhalers sprays, salves, etc., simply give temporary relief and everyone who has used any of them knows how use less they are and their inconvenience is such that very few have the time or patience to continue their use. A radical cure of catarri can only be obtained from a treatment which re- moves the catarrhal taint from the blood because no one will now dispute that catarrh Is a constitutional or blood dis ease, ana lOcdi dppliCdtluIl5 cdu HdNe no effect except to temporarily relieve local symptoms.
 A new remedy which has been remark ably successful in curing catarrh is a pleasant tasting tablet which is taken in formally and acts upon the blood and mucous membranes. M
 It is composed of antiseptic remedies like Red Gum. Blood root and similar cleansing specifics which eliminate the catarrhal poison from the system.
 The tablets being pleasant to the taste are dissolved in the mouth and thus reach the throat, trachea and finally the stomach and entire alimentary canal They are sold by druggists everywhere
 under the name of Stuart's Catarrh Tab lets. .1... q.
 If desired. when there is much stop page of the nose the tablets may be dissolved in warm water and used as a douche in addition to internal use, but a douche is not at all necessary A few dissolved in the mouth daily will be sufficient Dr.. Ainslee says "The reg ular daily use of Stuarts Catarrh Tab lets taken internally will cure the whole catarrhal trouble without resorting to the inconvenience of douche or an in- haler."
 They seem to give a healthy tone to the whole mucous membrane. and it is really remarkable how soon they will clear the head and throat of the unna- | t,lral and poisonous catarrhal secretion. stuart's Catarrh Tablets is undoubted- lv the safest. most palatable and cer- tainly the most efficient and convenient remedy for any form of catarrh.

The Obstruction

AN 0AeAt eeAtSas
 Every thinking man. whether landlord or tenant, believes that two or three years purchase and a small grant from the imperial excheauer are all now stand ing between Ireland and a final settle ment of the land question and recon quest of the land by the Celts from the English garrison. Among those who be- 1ieve that a gigantic surrender is in- evitable at an early day is, have reason to believe. the Irish chief secretary, MT Wyndham himself. He urged the land lords to consent to a conference even travelling long distances to their homes in order to put personal pressure on them He has already announced that there will be bigger land bill next year, and have heard he has said privately that coercion might be over in three weeks in case of certain events whereby, under stard, he meant that if the landlords and tenants agree on a common basis of settlement In the meantime pressure on the government is coming from various quarters. It is doubtful If the govern ment can carry the educational bill with cut violent closure, which may lead to scenes inside the house by the English ron conformists very like those caused fy C'Donnell, 50 vehement Is party pas- sicn, and outside it may produce oat- breaks in England also of the Irish pat tern. The attempt to force the Irish members into the ministerial lobby on tle educational bill died on the first night of the session wheh MT. Balfour ins'lted Ireland by refusing to give her day to voice her wrongs.
 "To sum up, the Irish members feel that they have scored. Nobody has a good word to say for the maladroit an- tics of Mir. Balfour. The government is threatened from many quarters and fs divided, and is, believe, doomed, while Ireland has once more rushed into the foremost place in the great drama of the Foremost place in the great drama of British politics"

BoERs HAVE HARD TIME.
Unable to Raise Much Relief Money
 On the Continent.

Berlin, October 1S.-The Boer generals now here are sorry they did not go to America first for money instead of mak- ing canvass on the continent General Botha said today that they intended, of course, to go to the United States, but as they had started to tour the continent they would finish their tour of Europe before undertaking the trip to America
 The experience of the general so far has been rather disappointing. There have been plenty of cheers but little money has been contributed for the relief of the Boers. One American contributed more than all Germany. The total gathered here is $67 800. The Pan-German group, which is managing the generals, is doing everything possible to give the demon- strations an anti-British character, but the Boers have refused outright to do some of the things suggested

SUPPLY
HAS Been
EXHAUSTED
New York Has Little or No
Coal on Hand Condition
In Other Cities.

New York. Aug. H-Inquiries have been
made by the Tribune as to the stock OF
anthracite coal on hand at several cities
in the East with the following result:
New York dealers say the supply here
has been practically exhausted for weeks.
The railroad companies have been able to
deliver only few thousand tons day re-
Gently and much of 1t is known as washed
coal.
Retail price of coal In Jersey City is 50
a ton, delivered or IS at the yards and
orders are taken only conditionally. The
dealers have agents out purchasing wher-
ever they can find coal. None Is coming
In by the cars Some have meagre re-
serve supply but this is kept for CUSTOM
ers with whom they have contracts. Or
ders for thousands of tons have been pig
eonholed because they cannot be filled
Buffalo reports that the Erie railroads
hillside Is the only anthracite that can be
bought there at present. II sells for $565
a ton and In not the best quality of hard
coal. The Philadelphia and Reading the
Lehigh. the Delaware and Hudson and
the Delaware Lackawanna and Western
Railroads have all stopped the sale OF an
thracite at their trestles and have closed
their local agencies, thereby putting an
absolute stop to their coal business. The
railroads are maintaining the utmost Sc
crecy regarding their supplies and even
the Erie officials refuse to say how much
they have on hand. All the leading coal
dealers say that the supply is exceeding
ly limited.
At Albany the retail dealers have In
stock not TO exceed 1000 tons OF anthracite.
which they are selling at IS TO s625 a
ton. The Delaware and Hudson Company
has about 1000 tons In reserve at Delan-
son. This with 300 tons held by a whole
sale dealer 10 all that can be counted on
for Albany. II is known. says the Albany
correspondent that the Delaware and
Hudson has considerable coal, estimated
as high as 5000 tons on sidlngs along its
Susquehanna division.
The Wilkesbarre correspondent says
there Is no general supply OF anthracite
on hand at any point I'm the coal region.
That which is being sold IA some that
companies are producing I'm their wash
cries and some that is obtained by indi-
vidual concerns from small coal pickings.
The regular dealers have none and can
get none. Boston reports that no distress
has yet been felt.
