a fatal place of residence to every tenant,

arrival of squads from all of the three police
districts averted serious race riot in the east
ern part of the city late this afternoon. Motor

wounded by a negro named Watkins, whom
he had elected from street car for disorderly

Hob Prices Paid Sinners.

The highest figure ever paid to a
singer at Covent Garden was the sum
of $4,000, paid to Nine. Adelina Patti
In 1870 for sixteen appearances. Nine.
Patti has, however, beaten this record
in her American tours, when she has
obtained, as she did at New Orleans,
as much as $4,000 a night.
NJ Jean de Reszke holds the record
for male singers, his contract for six
teen appearances being $4,000, while
the famous Polish tenor never fails to
stipulate for free hotel expenses and
certain sum for carriage and horses.

drawn his $4,000 a performance, and

PROGRESS MADE UNDER WOMEN.
Remarkable Condolences in Reigns of

1t is worthy of observation that the
three greatest periods of English lit
erature and remarkable military con-
quest occurred under three women
Elizabeth, Anne and Victoria. The
reign of Queen Elizabeth, which lasted
forty-fve years (155S-1603) received
an unfading luster from Shakespeare,
Bacon, Sidney, Spenser and Ben John
son, and is forever associated with
Unlike her predecessor, Queen Anne
was an indolent woman OF ordinary
capacity. But in her short reign
of twelve years (17021714 we had

Swift and other authors; Newton and
Berkeley, with their valuable discov-
cries in science, then truly in its in

winning his brilliant victories, and the
union of England and Scotland.
But it was in the reign of Queen
Victoria-the longest in British an

HORSE STEALING A LOST Art.
Decadence of Crime That Was Com
mon in Illinois.

Dccadence Of Crime That Was Com
mon in Illinois.
Horse stealing has become almost
lost art in Illinois," said sheriff.
twenty-five years ago the crime was
ually became unpopular on account
of the measures taken to suppress it.
In the first place, the sheriffs of
the different counties formed an asso-
citation, held meetings, and made plans
to act in harmony. Farmers and stock
dealers organized anti-horsethief asso-
Citations, and dealers in horses became
more cautious in their purchases.
AS soon as horse was stolen the
members of the association in the
neighborhood started in pursuit of the
thief, and, there being so many of
them, every road, cartway and bypath
was followed, and it was a smart thief
who escaped them. In the meantime
the sheriff of the county, having been
notified, sent out kilograms and postal
cards to brother sheriffs, chiefs of po-
lice and village and township con-
stables, and the description of the
stolen horse was soon in the hands of
so many watchful people that it was
almost certain to be seen and recov-
cred.
Sometimes the pursuing parties re-
turned with the horse, but without the
thief, and then dark rumors spread
abroad as to the fate of the criminal.
Stories of grave in lonely creek
bottom or of body found floating in
the river became current, and thus a
certain horror was added to the crime.
The punishments for horse steal
ing were made severe, and, what was
of more Importance, were rigidly en-
forced. Legal bubbles never saved a
man, and ii became a common saying
that a man found with halter in his
possession was cer.ain to be convict
ed. The juries, made up largely of
farmers, might be fooled into acquit-
ing murderer, but horse thief could
not escape conviction at their hands
So it was that the business became
and the number of horses
stolen these days is comparatively
small"

CaptainrO. Bertoletto of the Italian

writes:

In catarrh of the stomach, as well as
catarrh of any part of the body, Peruna
is the remedy. AS has been often said
If Peruna will cure catarrh of one part,

given me almost complete relief, and
am sure that continuation of them
will effect a permanent cure. Peruna
is surely wonderful remedy for ca
tarrhal affections j. D. Botkin.
This is case of catarrh of the stom-
ach which had run for twenty-five
years, according to his statement, and
Peruna has at once come to his relief,
promptly accomplishing for him more
benefit than he had been able to find
in all other remedies during quarter
OF a century.
1t stands to reason that man of
wealth and influence, like a Congress-
man of the great United States, has left
no ordinary means untried and no stone
unturned to find a cure.
If such cures as these do not verify
the claim not only that dyspepsia is due
to catarrh of the stomach but also that
Peruna will cure catarrh of the stomach,
it is impossible to imagine how any
evidence could do so.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to DIR. Hartman. giving a
full statement of your case. and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad-
vice gratis.

distribution of couple of thousands
of bdnnets for horses. But there will
be no real diminution of the aggregate

talk at night or go through a mans
