worth of br~ic-a-brac. silverware and

In every country of the civilized world
Sisters of Charity are known. Not only
do they minister to the spiritual and intel
iectual needs of the charges committed to
their care, but they also minister to their
bodily needs.
With so many children to take care OF
and to protect from climate and disease,
these wise and prudent Sisters have found
Peruna a never failing safeguard.
DR.. Hartman receives many letters from
Catholic Sisters from all over the United
States. A recommend recently received
from a Catholic institution in Detroit
Mich, reads as follows:
DR.. S. B. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio:
DearSir:-'The young girl who used
the Peruna was suffering from Laryngi-
lis, and loss of voice. The result of
the treatment was most satisfactory.
She found great relief, and after
further use of the medicine we hope
to be able to say she Is entirely cured. 1"

The young girl was under the care of
the Sisters of Charity and used Peruna for
catarrh of the throat with good results as
the above letter testifes.

Cigars played an important part in

CHARGES FILED
RATH5oNE BRINGS ACCUSATIONS
AGAINST WOOD.
VIOLATING ARMY REGULATIONS
Says Wood Tried to Gust His Superior
Also Charges Him witt, Forcing
the Auditor of Cuba to Violate the
Law

WASHINGTON-Major Estes c.
Rathbone, formerly director of posts
in Cuba, was given a hearing by the
senate committee on military affairs,
which is investigating the charges
against General Wood, in opposition
to his confirmation as major general.
The committee was in session about
one hour. Nearly the entire time was
given to Major Rathbone, who reiter-
ated the charges made several times
before the secretary of war, the SEN
ate committee on relations with Cuba
and in public statements, following
his trial in connection with Cuban
postal frauds
Major Rathbone filed specific writ
ten charges with the committee, stat
ing that General Wood, while mill
tary governor Of Cuba, has accepted
money from the Jaialai, which was, he
said, gambling concern, asserted
that he had made personal friend and
boon companion of an ex-convict. He
also charged him with giving instruc-
tons of an entirely unconstitutional
and un-American character to the
courts
With reference to the charge that
Governor General Wood had exceeded
his authority in giving instructions to
the court Major Rathbone said that
the general had pursued this course
In the Cuban postal cases when he
(Rathbone) was under prosecution.
This was, he said, in violation of an
article of the penal code of Cuba and
in manner prejudicial to the rights
and interests of those under trial. He
also charged General Wood with au-
thorizing the use Of eX-parte deposit
tions in the postal case, a proceeding
which, he asserted, is contrary to the
principles of law and in this case con-
trary to instruction given by the Sec
retary of war.
Major Rathbone charged that in ac-
cepting gifts from the organization
commonly known as Jaialai, to which
Major Rathbone said General Wood
had granted a ten years exclusive
concession, General Wood violated the
Foraker law, which prohibited the
granting of franchises or concessions
during the occupancy of the island by
the American authorities. He also
charged that the acceptance of these
gifts constitutes violation of an ar
ticle of the penal code of Cuba.

MoRTENSEN SHOT TO DEATH.
Salt Lake Man Executed at States
Prison for Murder

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah-Pete1
Mortensen, the convicted murderer OF
James R. Hay, was shot to death in
the yard of the state prison at 1881
Friday morning.
Maintaining his innocence to the
last, Mortensen walked to the chair
placed against the heavy stone wall of
the prison yard without weakening
and bid the guards and deputy sheriffs
goodbye with no tremor in his voice.
Mortensen was killed instantly, four
bullets from the rifles of the executing
squad concealed behind a thick cur
tain in the door of the blacksmith
shop twelve yards distant piercing the
white targent pinned over his heart.
Mortensen refused to see ministers,
either of his own belief-the Mormon
or of any other denomination, and
also refused stimulants, saying he
needed neither.
