Peruna is such perfect specific for
each case that when patients have once
used it they can never be inducedto quit
it until they are permanently cured. 1t
begins to relieve the disagreeable
symptoms at once. The backache
ceases, the trembling knees are
strengthened, the appetite restored,
the digestion made perfect, the dull
headache is stopped and the weaken
ing drains are gradually cured. These
results certainly follow a course OF
treatment with Peruna.
Barbara Alberty, corner Seventh and
Walnut streets, Appleton, Wis, writes
as follows in regard to Peruna:
"For years have suffered with back
ache and severe pains in the side. 1

Neptune Rams the Victory.

Portsmouth, Eng, Oct. 29.-Nelson's
famous old flagship Victory, the most
cherished relic in Englands navy, mar
rowly escaped being sent to the bottom
of Portsmouth harbor today. The old
battle ship Neptune was being towed to
dock for breaking up, when she broke
her tow and ram against the Victory.
The old flagship was struck on the port
quarter and hole six feet in diameter
was stove in her side. The water began
to pour in, flooding the lower deck.
Six tugs went to the rescue of the dam
aged ship and succeeded in saving her
by removing the heavy weights aboard
and patching up the hole in her side.
After striking the Victory the Neptune
collided with the battleship Hero, which
was also damaged, but not seriously.

Reer SOLD at CHURCH Fairs.

Newark, n. j., Oct. 90. -TheNewark
Chassis of the Reformed Church has ac-
quilted the Rev. Carl Girtanner Of
charges of intoxication, made by
special committee of the First German
Reformed Church, of which he has been
the pastor twenty-one years. Resolu-
tons, however, were adopted declaring
that the hearing had developed con-
ditions which "make essential sepa-
ration of pastorand people" This action
was taken for the purpose of permitting
the pastor. to resign. It was also re-
solved that as the testimony on both
sides showed that beer was sold unlimit-
ed at fairs held for the financial benefit of
the church, the pastor and congregation
should be 'censured for the reprehensi-
able practice"

IT Is STATED that the Lehigh Valley
Coal Company will take action similar
TO that proposed by the Reading-Jersey
Central companies and close its an
thracte collieries for an entire week
from October % to November 5. Presi-
dent Thomas, of the Lehigh Valley,
assigned practically the same reason as
that given by Mr.. Baer for the weeks
shut down; namely, the intervention Of
Mitchell day and election day, together
with other interruptions to mining fol-
lowing holiday in the anthracite
regions. The company will probably
continue the policy of shutting down a
full week each month as long as it con-
siders restriction Of production is neces-
sary. The Pennsylvania Railroad will
continue to close its cOllieries on Fri
days and Saturdays, as it has been
doing for several weeks. When the
miners reduced the supply of coal the
price went up; but now the operators
are reducing the supply so that the
price shall not go down. Thus it will
be seen that the consumer is caught
both ways.

PITTsBURG CLERGYMEN are unanl-
NOUS in their opinionas to the reason for
the scarcity of ministers and applicants
for admission to the seminaries, and, al
though they cIothe the thought in differ
ent words, it amounts to statement
that the small salaries paid to the
average pastor is the principal cause OF
the shortage. Students have been turn
ing from the ministry in large numbers,
it is said by those familiar with the con-
ditions in the different denominations,
since 1898. and there has been notice
able scarcity of ministers and applicants
for the last three years. Rev. Dr. D.
A Grier, president of the United Pres
byterian Seminary at Allegheny, Pa,
gives many reasons for the few applica-
tons at that seminary, but the first, he
saws. is commercialism. The love OF
money is the root of all evil and the
spirit of commercialism now seems to
pervade every station and calling in life,
so as men are but mortal and human
nature is much the same, preachers are
as apt as other people to be caught in
the stream of money seekers.

THE SUDDEN drop in the temperature
today and the brisk northwest wind,
after several days of Indian summer
weather, are harbingers of the approach
of colder conditions in the near future
and the passing away of summer and
the mild days which follow in the early
fall. The past summer was compare
lively mild, and there has been an
abundance of work for all who desired
it; yet there are doubtless many persons
who are not prepared for the changed
conditions now almost at our doors.
The improyident are always with us as
well as the poor, and Notwithstanding
the fact that the country is passing
through IN exceptional period of bust
ness activity, numbers, as is the case
every winter, viii be minus basket and
store when the freezing weather shall
have set in. In some cases this may be
unavoidable, but in numerous instances
human beings have doubtless been as
thoughtless as the grasshopper in the
fable.

London, Oct. 90. The officials of the
Japanese legation here state there is not
the slightest foundation for the reports
to the effect that an outbreak OF hostili-
ties in the Far East is imminent. They
also declare that the last reports from
the japanese government do not indicate
any probability of war. A dispatch
from Paris states that the foreign Office
has received no confirmation of the re-
port of hostile tenor printed in Paris
newspaper. The news of probable
outbreak of war between Russia and
Japan is not taken seriously there.
Paris, Oct. 2S.-In an interview to-
day DR.. Montono Itchiro, japanese
Minister at Paris, declared that the
alarmist reports of imminent war be-
tween Russia and Japan were without
foundation. He added: "Even the
menace Of war does not exist. The
Russian and japanese negotiations are
progressing normally and satisfactorily
at Toxic. Both are practically seeking
only to safeguard their respective inter-
ests."
Lloyds insurance rates to the Far East
have been advanced 100 per cent. since yes
terday to cover all risks if war should be de-
clared between Russia and japan within the

acted upon the resignation of VIM. II.
Landvoigt, superintendent of the clas-

being given the resignation is not upon
regret of the Postmaster General to sever
official relations with Landyoigt; on the
other hand, that official family connections
with the General Manifolding Company

displeasure of the department. That
company's lucrative contract for registry
books, entered into by Landvoigts diyi-
sion, and the prominent position held

FRIDAY EVENING. OCT. %, 1908.

THE noteworthy feature OF the second
davs' session of the American Bankers
Association convention, in San Fran
cisco Yesterday, was the address by Will
liam B. Ridgeley, Comptroller OF the
Currency. He declared that the course
of business today depended largely on
the bankers. If the bankers acted wisely
and eonservatively they could avert any
thing like serious trouble. The specu-
lations. promotions and combinations
that had run their wild course, he de-
clared. were caused by, and were not the
cause of, prosperity, but the advance OF
the country should not and would not
cease because "the speculative attempts
10 discount the future and overcapitalize
earning power has met with foreordalned
and inevitable failure" Mr.. Ridgeley
NAV be sincere in his optimistic views,
and financial troubles may not be at
ones doors. All would prefer to hope
they are not, but there are many things
10 lead us to believe that confidence has
received a severe shock during the past
few months by reason Of certain develop
ments in the financial world. 1t will
take a long time to dispel the timidity
now apparent everywhere.
