where it is favorite remedy.
Such endorsements serve to indicate the
wonderful hold that Peruna has upon the

reason for giving his endorsement to Pe1una
than his positive conviction that the remedy

The fact is that Peruna has overcome all

SCORED BY LONDON CRITIC.
Vanderbilt Wedding Called a Display
of "Vulgarity and Wealth."

A dispatch to the New York Herald from
London last night says: Exhaustive ac-
counts of the Vanderbilt-Neilson wedding
were cabled to London. The gifts and Incl
dents have been too much for the Daily
Mail which, under the caption OF "Vul-
garity and Wealth." deals with the case In
the following manner:
1.-THE circumstances attending the mar
riage Of Reginald Vanderbilt at Newport,
whether they be regarded as admirable or
deplorable, are remarkable enough to be
worthy of passing comment A thorough
understanding of their significance is. per-
haps. impossible, unless one is both an
American and a millionaire, but persons
who possess neither of these advantages
may yet find not a little that is interest
ing in the contemplate of this surprising
effort at ostentation and display.
1.-THE extravagances Of taste and expend-
iture, the essential vulgaritT of the idea,
which seeks to make of an intimate family
festival show for the whole world, the
strange perversion that makes the office
of priest subservient to that of the dress
maker and requires dress rehearsal FOR
the religious ceremony-these are In them
selves merely symptoms Of state of at
fairs that is expressed in many other ways.
Its basis Is a very old and simple one,
1nseparable from any state OF society In
which wealth Ia unevenly distributed. 1t
is the constant fever to escape from equal
ity, and 1t Is a marked characteristic OF
democratic communities.
There u.s. theoretically, no social distinc-
ton Of birth in America, but social distinc-
ton is sought and found by the expendi-
ture Of money in all kinds of fantastic
ways.
with little ingenuity. much money and
an absence of shame the social ladder may
be scaled in America. SO that the host who
invites his friends to meet a monkey at
dinner may supersede him who could think
Of nothing better than a picnic in gilded
traction engines.
THE one thing is to escape from the
commonplace, the usual, the conceivable;
always to be a length ahead-always. in
the native expression, to go you one bet
ter
1.-The enormous material wealth which
Is central in this group of American So
ciety, renders the competition of fashion
extreme and fantastic. 1t Is remarkable
that those American millionaires who have
put forth the most convulsive efforts to at
in these orgies of vulgarity have been
among the loudest in complaining that
American newspapers have robbed them OF
their privacy.
1.-The carloads of flowers, the fountains
of scent, the opposing armies Of thieves
and detectives, the ranks of policemen
guarding the treasure while equal treasure
is being profusely wasted are merely the
somewhat sordid incidents in struggle to
