HEAD CANE FROM GRAVEl ARD:
Doctors See No MIVder In Grewsome Find
In PaSSaic River.

PAssA1C. y. J., Oct 1.-THE head Of a
man found in the Passaic River Yesterday
was dug up by Chief OF Police John Chrys-
feline, Of Wellington to-day in the presence
of John Musick, who discovered the head
and buried it. and others. Physicians who
examined it said that they did not think
that the man had beer murdered.
The marks around the neck were ragged
and the physicians think that the head was
washed from some cemetery into the river
by rhe flood There are several cemeteries
on the banks of the river above Paterson
and as many Of these are old and not well
cared for it is possible that the head was
washed into the river from one of them. -
This afternoon the police found some
bows who had seen the head in the water
several days before Musick found it, and
after an examination had thrown it back
anain.

other internal catarrh remedy that has
proven effective in all cases.
The most disting uished men of the United
States have no hesitation in lending their
influence to assist in letting the people
know of the virtues of Peruna. Nearly
one-half the people are in some degree
affected by catarrh. Therefore it ia almost
a national curse and it is of national import
that the people should know of Peruna.
Pe-ru-na Cannot Be Initiated. -
Some things may be successfully imi-
tated but Peruna cannot be. Every one
purchasing Peruna should look out for
limitations Examine each package care
fully. If you have ever used Peruna or
if you have ever tasted it, you are not in
the slightest danger of being misled by
these limitations, but all those beginning
the use of Peruna should beware.
Beware of limitations. Believe no one
who tells you that he has remedy that
is making the same cures that Peruna ID
making.
If you have any doubt as to the genuine
ness of the bottle of Peruna you are using,
write to DR.. Hartman, and the fraud, II
there be any, will soon he detected.

WORLEl,S S5O,OOO FEE.
Not Large for the work lie Has Done on
His Life Of GlalistOne.'

LONDON, Oct 1.-THE Right Hon. John
Morleys fec of ElOroO floin the publishers
of his Life of Gladstone" Is the largest
ever paid for a copyright biography IN
England. The payment OF tins amount
il all the more remalN abic, because none OF
Mr.. Morley's previous works has attracted
the crowd, and the present achievement
IL confined to the public life Of his hero and
chief.
Yet it is a modest reward, compared with
what a man like j. NJ. Barrie makes in
wear on the imaginative side Of literature.
Mr.. Morley has given three years to his
grateful task 1t is more than three years
ago that he told the electors Of Montrose,
before they elected him, that he could not
follow local interests in Parliament, as he
was engaged in writing a biography OF
Mr.. Gladstone.
II was "A stipulation in the family that the
biography of Gladstone should not appear
until five years after the great Liberal
leaders death. Since that time Mr. Morley
has read over 100000 documents for the
purposes Of his work. Most of il was done
in Mr.. Gadstone's private library at Hawar-
descendants Of the English statesman OF
the nineteenth century.
The late Queen Victoria, the story OF
whose reign has been begun, made stipu-
lation that the correspondence between
her and her thrice Prime Minister when
usad. should not be commented upon. The
only illumination of this royal frigidity
contained in the biography Of Mr.. Gladstone
ia a brief and rather pathetic note OF the
famous Liberal Prime Minister, mentioning
the fact that the first and last time he shook
yictoria's hand was tn" last year OF his life,
after he had finally retired from politics
and was seeking health in the south OF
France, near where the Queen had gone on
the same errand.
Mr.. Morley will resume active partioi-
patton in politics next week with speech
IN free trade.
