A Growing Industry.

A SPECTATOR reporter in passing
the Putnam Organ Factory a few days
since was attracted by a large consign
ment of organs which were being load
ed into a big box car. The entire ship
ment was for one firm, Sherman, Clay
& Co., of San Francisco, California:
Such consignments are very often of
daily occurrence, these organs finding
good saleslin almost every country of
Europe, besides in China, Japan, etc.
1t is a point worth mentioning that.
the Putnam factory is just now COM
pleting an additional building which
is already occupied, giving a much
needed increase for working space,
caused by expanding business: Addi-
tional men are being constantly added
to the already large force of operatives.
Very recently the management of the
plant voluntarily inaugurated the nine
hour day. without any reduction of
wages. This arrangement is in effect
to March 1st next.

III. l.. LANG,
A Gard of Thanks.

AS the official representatives OF the
Democratic party in Middle River dis
trict, we feel that We would be lack
ing in the courtesy due to a generous
opponent if we failed publicly to ex-
press our thanks to the Hon. Turner
K. Hackman, Hon. r A. Fulwiler and
their assistants 8. M. Woods, P. M.
W. r. Landes, p. NJ. and the other
Republican postmasters of Middle Riv-
er District Except the postmaster at
BurketowD) who rendered so much aid
(by their conversation in private, and
the public meetings which they organ
lied, and attended, to the success OF
the Democratic congressional ticket.
For the first time in the last decade
Middle River district has gone demo
cratic, and without any organized et-
fort on our part. This has been an
agreeable surprise to US. and we can
only account for it by allowing the
gentlemen aforesaid all the credit for
the glorious democratic victory in this
ON. r district.
We had thought of doing some can
wasting as IS our custom, but after
looking carefully over the field and
seeing what effective work was being
done Tor us ny our lrleuuS NGuo cuouy
we concluded not to deprive them OF
any of the credit and cancelled our
meetings, for their sakes.
We dislike odious comparisons, yet
we cannot but except the Postmaster
of Burketown from deriving any bene-
fit from this card of thanks, he, to our
utter amazement and contrary to pre-
cedent, let all his voters go to the polls,
and we must express our righteous
condemnation of his action as had it
been followed by the other Postmas-
tiers we would have been licked to a
FRAGILE. y as, must as we regret to ad-
NIT it, the district is republican, even
under the new registration law.
"lf 1.-THE buried Ratchet" produces
such unlocked for results, we trust
that you will bury it again in 1901.
Again thanking you for your kind
co operation, we are,
Yours truly.

All Over the United States Use
Pe-ru-na for Catarrh.

DR.. Hartman receives many letters
from Catholic Sisters all over the United
States. A recommend recently re-
ceived from a Catholic institution in the
Southwest reads as follows:
AProminent Mother Superior Says.
az can testify from experience to the
efficiency of Peruna as one Of the very
best medicines, and 1t gives me pleasure
to add my praise to that of thousands
who have used it. For years 1 suffered
with catarrh of the stomach, all reme-
spring went to Colorado, hoping to be
benefited by change of climate and
while there friend advised me to try
Peruna. After using two bottles found
myself very much improved. The re-
mains of my old disease being now SO
slight, I consider myself cured, yet for
while intend to continue the use of
Peruna. I am now treating another
patient with your medicine. She has
been sick with malaria and troubled
with 1eucorrh@a. / have not doubt
that cure will be speedily effected"
These are samples OfIefters received
by DR.. Hartman from the various
orders of Catholic Sisters throughout
the United States.
The names and addresses to these let
tiers have been withheld from respect
to the Sisters but will be furnished upon
request.
One-half of the diseases which af1ict
mankind are due to some catarrhal de-
rangement of the mucous membrane
lining some organ or passage Of the
body.
A remedy that would act Immediately
upon the congested mucous membrane
restoring1t to its normal state, would
consequently cure all 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 1t in one location
will cure it in all locations.
If you do notreceive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to DIR. Hartman, giving
full statement Of your case, and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable adj
vice gratis.
