WONDERFUL VOYAGE
OF an American Sailing Vesse-Cover
ed Forty-Five Thousand Miles.

From the Philadelphia Telegraph.
The American ship Kenilworth. the queen
and swiftest of square-riggers af1Oat. poked
her shapely nose into the quiet waters
of the Delaware breakwater at 8 o'clock
this morning. after a speedy run from far
away Honolulu. An eight-knot breeze from
the southwest was blowing as the splendid
craft came to anchor and the rising sun
smiled upon the streaming stars and
stripes that fioated from her taffrail.
1t is over two years since the Kenil-
worth was in port. When she left here. in
May, 1901, she sailed away for Sourabaya.
Japan. with a cargo of iron pipes to be
used in conveying water from the noun
tains to the cities Of the seacoast. 1t was
famous run that Captain Taylor made on
that trip. The British ship Kentmere
bound for Sourabaya, also from New York.
had more than two weeks start of the
Kenilworth. but. despite this the Kenil-
worth reached Souragaya first. and Skip
per Taylor was discharging his cargo when
the Kentmere appeared in the harbOr That
run was 10000 miles.
The Kenilworth has the reputation Of
making steamer time. When she came to
this port to load for Japan she came from
Liverpool. arriving at the breakwater less
than fourteen days out. Such record
has never been excelled Captain Taylor
trod the quarter deck. The reason that
this gallant ship makes such famous time
Is that he always carries his sails no mat
ter how hard the gale may blow. AS he
has often expressed 1t: Il believe In push
ing my Ship
1t is estimated that the Kenilworth has
sailed since she left the Delaware break
water behind two years ago something like
45. 900 miles. In that time she has en-
countered no end of gales. Tempests and
hurricanes have swept the ship, bent her
masts and torn her sails, but she is here
today looking just as neat as when she left
the builders hands. Like her phenomenal
speed. she brings record-breaking cargo
Of sugar.

CHURCH WORKER SAYS
SHE OWES Her LIFE TO PERU=NA.
HER GREAT FORTUNE.
A Woman Saved From Lifelong
Misery and Made Happy
and Useful.

A woman confined to the house for
several years with a chronic female
arrangement had finally given up hope
of being cured.
She had tried physician after physi-
clan, and remedy after remedy, without
any permanent improvement.
Her treatment had cost her husband
who was a poor man, hundreds OF dol
lars. They had been obliged to deny.
themselves many comforts OF life in
order to get money enough to pay the
physicians.
The woman had become weak, nervous
and wretched, and scarcely able to keep
out of her bed. Her children were
cause Of the want Of a mothers care.
Her husband was becoming discouraged
and broken down with overwork.
Picking up the paper n day she hap
pened to read an item which contained
the news that DR.. Hartman would treat
such cases free Of charge by letter. She
Immediately wrote the doctor describing
her case, and giving him all her symp-
toms.
She soon received a letter telling her
exactly what to do, and what medicines
and appliances to get. She began the
treatment (the principal remedy being
Peruna) at once, and in a few weeks she
was we'll and strong again, able to do
her own work.
This offer of free home treatment to
women is still open to all who may need
the services Of this eminent physician.
All letters applying for treatment will
be promptly answered, and be held
strictly confidential.
Miss Annie Hoban, Post Pocahontas

(Women's Branch), writes from S72

with backache and a troublesome heayi-
ness about the stomach. Sleep brought
The doctor said my nervous system
was out of order, but his prescriptions
didn't seem to relieve me. l was told
that Peruna was good for building up
the nervous system. After using it for
two months l know now that it is. I
want to say that it made a new woman
of me. The torturing symptoms have
all disappeared and I feel myself again.
Peruna did me more good than all the
other medicines I have taken"

Miss Mamie Powell, Lake Charles,
Louisiana, writes:
