GOLD IS NOT SCARCE.
That Is the Opinion of a Financial
 Expert In Mexico.

Mexico City, August a.-rhe third sub committee of the Monterey conference has adopted a report made by Richard Garcia Grandos, which after citing fig ures regarding the worlds present stock of gold. says these figures demonstrate to the point of evidence that gold is at present nominally mot scarce" but tends to predominate absolutely as the sole standard and measure of values, sil- yer being relegated to a secondary and subsidiary role as token of coinage.
 The report continues:
 "Our commerce is carried on at present almost exclusively with gold standard countries and if we wish to avoid or miti- gate a monetary and mercantile crss, It is imperative that we introduce a mone- tary reform that will give stability to our currency"
 The adoption of this report by the com missions taken to indicate that a gold standard Is likely to be recommended in a modified form by the entire monetary commission which met today in full ses- sion.

 "The executive committee will meet to- day and recommend it's acceptance. The will then be turned over to the directors who will meet later in the day and formally approve it.
 MT. Schwab will also, it is announced, resign as a director. thus completely severing his connectipon with the com pany.
 "W E. Cory, who on July i was ap- pointed assistant to President Schwab to perform the active duties of the pres idency of the company, it is said will be elected as MT.

Judge Thompson instructed the grand Jury to begin at the bottom. Wilson's case was taken up first and he was indicted in few minutes. Sheriff Whitlock. who de- tended Wilson against the attack of the mob, took Wilson into court as soon as the indictment was returned The sheriff hustled the negro into court in a rough manner, threatening to help him by force if he continued to lag.

 did not inquire so much as whether in Leo XIII. 1t behld the successor of Peter as whether in him Paul did not once more see Rome.

 Brought Hls Cook With Him.
 Rome. August S-One of the daily sights at the vatican now is the arrival of the nun whom Cardinal vasseary, prince archbishop of Gran and primate of Hun gary, brought with him from Hungary to act as his cook. Cardinal Vasseary is the wealthlest of the cardinals and is re- puted to have an income of four hundred thousand dollars annually. He desired to have his cook enter the oonclave, but the presence of women being forbidden by the rules, he arranged to have her cook a his dinner outside and bring 1t daily to hthe Slstine chapel. She comes in cab escorted by two Hungarian soldiers in uniform. It Is reported that when Cardi- g nal Sarto, patriarch of Venice, received the good wishes of his friends he replied: 'Oh, no purchased a return ticket when 4 ] left Venice"
 &Those who are. superstitious are saying fhat as the eonclave opened St. Ignatius Loyola, day, 1t will probably close tomor- TOW, the day of St. Dominic, one of the lighting saints in the calendar, thus full filling the prophecy of g. Malachi, who predicted that the motto of ti-S next pope would be 'Tgnis Ardens."
 There are those who profess tonight to believe that a pope has already be~r elected but that the fact Is kept secret They recall that in August 1740 Cardinal Lambertini Benedict XIV) was elected pope in the evening but that the conclave postponed the proclamation of his cleo tIon until the next morning, keeping the fact of the election secret even from the ronclavists. On that occasion the head which was to wear the crown was uneasy. Cardinal Lambertini could not sleep, and his conclavist, hearing him move rest lessly several times, inquired the cause of his nervousness;
 At last the cardinal no longer able to contain himself shouted: q am pope. Now can you sleep? Just try"

When l see my children are not feeling well and have little cold, 1 at once give them Peruna, and they know 1t does them good, so they take it without any trouble. am a new woman since began taking Pe- rena.

What then, Is Peruna? Is 1t eure-all? No such claims are made for t. Peruna cures catarrh, and that is all it does cure But many ailments called by countless different names are dependent upon ca tarrh-that is catarrhal inflammation of the mucous membrane lining some organ of the body. Hence Peruna cures eatarrh of the pelvic organs (female weakness) with the same surety as it cures eatarrb of the nose or throat, or the many other catarrhal ailments of children.
 If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.
