THE STEWART MILLIONS.
VIII of the Late A. +. Stewart to Ne
Again Reepened On Contest
of Irish Claimants.

New York, Feb. 2.-By an order
granted by Judge Leventritt in the
supreme court the will of A. ]. Stew
srt has again been opened for con-
test. The old documents are to be
submitted for the examination Of law
yers and handwriting experts, re-
tanned in an effort to prove that the
accepted will should be thrown out,
and a new line of heirs admitted to a
share in the estate.
Seven witnesses have been brought
from Ireland and maintained here
since October 16 to prove the pedigree
of heirs who base their claims as de-
sccndants of a third cousin of Mr..
Stewart. Among them is Father
Aloysius, a parish priest, who has
been brought to establish the record
Of birth and to identify'the claimants.
The claim is made for one-sixteenth
Of the estate, which is probably
worth from a quarter to a half mil
lion dollars, if the division can be
carried back far enough and APP
praised at present values. The pres
emit suit is directed against the prop
erty at Tenth street and Broadway,
which is estimated to be worth 3d..

EQUAL TO THE OCCASION.
Potter Palmer Raised the Clerks
Salary Instead of DischarEedtng
Him, as Was Expected.

Paul Cores had joined a group OF
hotel men who were reminiscent
about the late Potter Palmer and his
p%eculiarities as a hotel keeper.
"When / was at the Palmer house,"
he said, there was che chap who
proved equal to the occasion. 1t was
when the old man., as we always
called Mr.. Palmer. VA putting in a
particularly cranky tarnth. 1t seemed
as if everybody about the hotel was
booked for dismissal. One day Pal
mer walked into the 5ookkeeper's or
fee, and, after looking for a minute
at a man who hadn't been working
for more than a week or two, walked
quietly up to him, and, moistening
his lips with his tongue, in his Pc
culiar fashion, said:
"'Er-when is your month up?"
1.-THE young man, recognizing the
voice, tossed his pen on the desk
without looking around, hoped back
off his stool, pushed the stool out of
the way, and replied:
"'Now, by gum! And I've got my
grip packed and undermy desk, ready
to start right away
"Palmer was stunned at first, but
quickly rose to the occasion, and,
stepping up to the young man, patted
his shoulder, and without the culver
of an eyelash, said:
emo, no; you take me wrong. ]
don't want you to go. l merely want
ed to know when your month is up
so that l may know when to increase
| your salary
when the young man recovered
| his breath the old man was gone
| But his salary was increased al
| right, and he became Palmer's conf.
| Dental clerk, and remained with him
| till he died."-N. Y. Times.

HAT THE MOBILE DOES.
II Does Away With Many of the OBJ
jectionab1e Features of Equine
LOcOmOtiOn.

The general usefulness of the motor
car is so remarkable that it has GER
tainIv come to stay. In the big towns,
where trarlcars and cabs, carriers
and suburban railways already pro-
vide ample means of locomotion, the
convenience of the automobile is less
obvious than in rural districts. Yet
even where it is a question of replace
ing existing systems of traffic the
motor car has many claims to urge.
A great deal of the dirt and noise OF
our streets is inseparably connected
with the use of horses, whose odor
alcne-if we were not sc accustomed
to it-would strike the sensitive or
ganism with at least as much repug-
nance as the petrol motor now does.
The blocks which are such common
objects of the London streets are
| largely caused by the slowness and
| bulkiness of horse-drawn carriages.
But it is in the country that the
| motor promises to meet a long-felt
| want and confer a new lease of life
upon. agricultural industries. The
country gentleman finds in it the
means of cross-country journeys
| which were almost impracticable be-
fore, The rural doctor is able, with
| a motor that costs no than q
| single horse and carriage, to cover q
| district that would tax the resources
| of a well-flled stable. The shop
keeper in the country town who sets
I'D a motor car will be able to meet
| the wants of his outlying customers
with a regularity and dispatch pre-
| viously unkncwn. The farmer whose
attempts to carry on his business
have been strangled in their cradle
by the delays and exorbitant charges
of the railways will often find in the
motor car the means of transporting
his perishable produce to the doors OF
the consumers, who will also gain by
getting fresh instead of "doctored'
food. 1t is doubtful whether even
railways conferred a greater boon or
the country than is promised by the
motor car. Not only the future of 9
great industry, but the amenity OF
rural life is closely interviewer with
the motor-car problem. We desire te
free the motor car from the sense
less speed limit, but to prevent reck
less driving by insisting on licenses
and on the display of a registered
number.-Spectator.

OPERATORS STANDING FIRM,
II the Miners Insist on Their De-
mands There VIII Be a Suspen-
sion of Work on April 1.

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 1.-THE
scale committees of the miners and
the operators will meet again Tues
day morning to resume consideration
cf the demands of the miners for an
increase of wages. Expressions of
opinion heard Sunday indicate that
the session will be protracted, and if
the miners insist on the demands al
ready made there will be no agree
ment reached, which will mean a sus-
pension of work on April 1. Both
sides seem determined, and the opera
ts,rs say they will never yield to the
present demands. Many of them do
say, however, that the miners should
have some increase this year, and
many believe that an increase of ten
| per cent. would be about right.

Spangled Banner" and God Save the
King" At the close of the concert
their m~ajesties advanced and shook

was to remain in England, and said:
II shall have you again, and l want
all American music on the pro-
gramme next time"
BY the kings desire Mrs. Sousa was
then presented to their majesties.
The prince of Wales %conversed with
Sousa and promised to attend his con-
cert when the band returned to Lon

THE season of catching cold is upon

THE season of catching cold is upon
/ us. The cough and the sneeze
and the nasal twang are to be
heard on every hand. The origin of
chronic catarrh, the most common and
dreadful of diseases, is a cold.
This is the way the chronic catarrh
generally begins. A person catches
cold, which hangs on longer than usual.
The cold generally starts in the head
and throat. Then follows sensitive
ness of the air passages which incline
one to catch cold very easily. At last
the person has a cold all the while
seemingly, more or less discharge from
the nose, hawking, splitting, frequent
clearing of the throat, n~ostrils stopped
up, full feeling in the head, and sore,
infiamed throat.
The best time to treat catarrh isatthe
very beginning. A bottle o fPernna prop
erly used, never fails to cure a common
cold, thus preventing chronic catarrh.

"I have used several bottles of Peruna and I feel greatly benefited
thereby from m catarrh of the head IHeI encouraged to believe that n
/ use Ia short time longer I will be fully able to eradicate the disease Of
thirty years standing .David MeekisOn, Member of Congress-.

While many people have been cured
of chronic catarrh by a single bottle of
Peruna, yet, as a rule, when the catarrli
becomes thoroughly fixed more than
one bottle is necessary to complete a
cure. Peruna has cured cases innumer-
able of catarrh of twenty years stand
ing. 1t is the best, if not the only inter
nal remedy for chronic catarrh in x
istence.
But prevention star better than cure.
Every person subject to catching cold
should take Peruna at once at the
slightest symptom Of cold or sore throat
at this season of the year and thus pre-
vent what is almost certain to end in
chronic catarrh.
