be needed to supply the necessities of
those who are In distress to thoroughly
search the drifts for bodies and to
complete sanitary work to prevent an
epidemic.

DYNAMITE PLOT TO DESTROY
CUNARD STEAMSHIP UMBRIA

This is the letter of warning ad-
dressed to Commissioner Greene:
The box with handles is among the
trunks Tor the steamer Umbria
Dear Sir-The Malta greets you
and wishes you we'll. At the Cunard
dock is a box containing 100 pounds
of dynamite. Inside also is machine
that. properly set, can explode the
stuff at any time within thirty-siX
hours.
"Th. society has declared war
against England and has ordered the
destruction of every steamer flying the
British flag sailing out of New York
karbor. The undersigned received or
ders to begin operations by sinking the
Oceanic, but so many women and chill
dren took passage on that boat that
the society's plans were changed at
the last minute.
THE machine in the box. the first
made. and a crude affair. is inclosed
simply to show how easy it is to sink
steamer and to convince those in
terested that the society is not making
idle threats The society has under
taken to clear New York harbor of
British ships and it will succeed.
THE reason for this movement the
society does not wish to disclose. Suf-
flee it to say that the society, to protect
itself. must carry the war into the enc
my's country. 1t proposes to wage the
war as fiercely as it knows how.
This is the soCiety's first and last
warning and those who propose to pat
ronize British steamers must take their
chance in the future.
The society asks and gives no quar-
ter, so. lay on. lay on, Macduff. and
damned be he that cries hold, enough.
"PIETRO DE MARTINI.
"P S.-The battery is not attached.
fuse is without caps and lighter not
set. Consequently there is no danger
in handling the box"
Inspector George McClusky of the
detective bureau said tonight:
Il am satisfied that this is not the
work of the Malta, or any other secret
society. The fact that the letter re-
ceived at headquarters is undoubtedly
the work of an intelligent person and
that the machine itself is the product
of some intelligent person, may mean
that both were the work of one. All
night we have been working on the as
sumption that it was dynamite that
the box contained. Inspector Murray
of the bureau of combustibles reported
to me that it was dynamite"

Only the weak need tonic. People are

One of the obscure causes of weakness and
the one oftenest overlooked is Catarrh.
Catarrh inhames the mucous membrane
and causes the blood plasma to escape
through the mucous membrane in the form
of mucous. This discharge of mucous is the
same as the loss of blood. 1t produces
weakness.
Peruna stops the catarrh and prevents
