FUNNY OLD METHODS.
viii Our Children ThIuk Our Ways as
Strange as We Think Our Forefathefs
Chance for Improvement Still in
Many Things.-Perfection Has
Been Reached in Many Others.

Suppose you were Obliged to go to
New York. Wouldn't 1t seem strange
to you to get into an old fashioned,
musty-sheiling. Iolting stage coach!
1t was not SO mahy year ago that
people had to travel that way
Think Of the inconveniences, thlnK
of the hardships even, they were oD-
liged to suffer; and think OF the time
consumed. We DOUBT whether these
experiences tended 10 lengthen their
lives.
1t is just 30 with hundreds OF other
things. A grea' improvement IL an
nounced. We marvel at II for "a lew
DAYS, aud then accept 1t as matter
Of course. Now, If il Is necessary 10
90 to some distant city, WE are made
as comfortable, If not more SO, than
though we remained right IN our
homes, and q few hours brings us,
without fatigue, to our destination.
There Is not man living who would
prefer the old way, after he has ex-
p.rienced the delights OF modern
methods.
But it is not III travel alone that
Improvement has been MADE 1here
are many other things niue" more

In Vinol W. have the elements OF
what has been the greatest medlclne
known to man for the cure OF wasting
diseases of every description, namely,
cod liver oil; but in Vluol We have
none OF the objectionable features
that attended cod liver oil.
As Mr., W. A. DoZier OF our city,
who has connected himself with the
Boston firm of chemists producing
these goods, will tell you, and as
many other druggist in town would
endorse his, Vlnol is the essence OF
all that Is good in cod liver oil
Vinol Is not a patent medi Inc: hence

Little Expected as Result of
Pennell Inquest.
DEATH SEALS THEIR LIPS
Medical Examiner to Determine
Whether Wife Was Drugged
on Fatal Day.

BUFFALO. y. Y. March 27.-With
the inquest into the murder of Ed
win L. Burdick concluded without a
single bit of evidence to point TO the
perpetrator Of the crime, the authorities
here will now start in on the seemingly
impossible task OF deciding how Arthur
r. PenneIl and his wife came to their
deaths
Although the Burdlck inquest has
closed. the police have not ceased TO
work on the case with ali their ener-
gies. New witnesses may come forth
at any time. A story from New York
Today that Inspector McClusky had
Geen asked to get a statement from
Alexander J. Quinn, a bartender in the
West Fffty-ninth Street hotel, wnere
Mrs. Burdick was = guest and where
Pennell visited, as to whether or not
Pennell made a threat that he wouII j
kill Burdick. lacked confirmation here.
II is known. however, that every place
where Mrs. Burdick stayed while she
was away from home and while PenDell
was in her company, has been visited.
The irst witnesses on Monday Will be
the two small boys who saw the Pennell
automobile go over the bank into the
quarry. and who say that they saw Pen

SO. Thea there are several 10 testify
that the PenneH automobile went slowly
up and down the avenue for long time
before 81 was sent forward at a high rate
Of speed.
Medical Examiner Dancer has limited
that Mrs PeuneU was Arugged on the
afternoon she and her husband took the
fatal plunge. Her body viii probably

Detectives and others working on the
BuTdick case express the belief that
such an autopsy would reveal the fact
that Mrs Pennell had been drugged.

PRESIDENTS PROMISE
TO PEOPLE OF CUBA
Would Call Extra Session If Treaty Is
Ratified Unamended.

II is officially admitted today that
President Roosevelt recently. through
the State Department. promised cuba
that II the Cuban congress should ratifv
the reciprocity treaty without amend
ment he would call the United States
Congress In extra session prior to the
regular time OF meeting Cthe first Mon
day in December) in order 10 make
complete and effective the ratification
by the Senate In the special session held
carly this month.
This morning Secretary Hay received
cablegram from Minister Squiers al
Havana 10 the effect that there was a
strong probability that the Cuban con
gress would seek, 10 amend the treaty.
In reply to this. Secretary Hay cGbled
If such action should be taken il would
invahdate the convention.
The impression prevails at the state
Department that there are strong for
eign influences at work in Havana
against the ratification OF the treaty.
and this accounts for the recent opposi-
ton that has developed in the Cuban
congress 10 ratification without amend
mcns-
If the Cuban congress should ratifv
the treaty without change, President
Roosevelt Will probably fix the second
week I'm November as the time for hold
Ing the special session.

President Roosevelt had fewer callers

who came to pay their respects and

Government property. but has run cOun-
ter to strong political influence in the
West. which insists upon allowing the
cattlemen ample time 10 turn their in

takes the view that they entered into
the occupancy OF Government property
without due warrant OF law. and did
so consequently at their own risk OF
loss, and has been desirous OF enforcing
the law with utH30st severity
