THE STRIKE GROWS.
A General Tieup of Freight Traffic on
the New York, New Haven G. Hart
ford Railroad

lOIu ndllIOdu.
New York May 25.-The strike
which began several days ago with
the refusal ef freight handlers en-
ployed by the Fall River line to con-
tinue work unless a non union fore
man to whom they objected be dis
charged by the company and has re
suited III a serious tieup of freight
traffic between New York and many
New England points, assumed more
serious proportions Tuesday when a
strike of firemen tied up the transfer
system of the New York, New Haven
& Hartford road between Mott Haven
and New Jersey.
AS a result of the strike the COM
pany found it necessary to lay off sew
cral hundred engineers, firemen and
brakemen who had been employed in
the yards on both sides of the river
as there were no cars for them to
handle. At the same time hundreds
of cars of freight, much of it of a per
ishable nature, remain in the yards
with no prospect of being moved until
settlement of some sort is made.
The strike of firemen resulted from
the refusal of the company to grant
the mems demands for an increase in
wages and betterment of certain con-
ditions under which they work.
Aside from this trouble, yesterday
seemed to show a general improve
ment in conditions at all the docks.
Large crews of men were working in
the various steamers and in the
freight sheds.

The Horse Is King.

Last October the statistics on the
January /. 1903, were published and
given to those most directly interested,
the hOrseshOers. The statement of the
national statistician at Washington may
be relied on as the most authentic that
can be compiled, and ii was these which
we published, says the Horseshoer's
Journal. There were in the United
States on the date mentioned, 1861 ,373
horses, valued at 81 ,03O, ,705, ,959. The in
crease in number over the previous year
of 1902 was just 2G,149 Mark it we'll
Now comes the same Washington au-
thOrity-and he knows, if anybody does
with his report of January l, 1904 and
here are the figures which he gives of
the number of horses in the country on
the latter date: Total number of horses
January !, 1904 1G, ,736, ,O59. The differ
ence in number between 1903 and 1904
is just 17S,6S6, or an increase over the
corresponding period of the previous
year of 152, ,537 horses. Of values, pro-
portionate increase is seen, there being
reported 81 1876, $40, ,29S worth of horse
flesh in the country January last. With
the exception of 1901. when there were
but 1864 more horses in the country
than there are now, the number is
greater at the present time than was
ever before reported, while in point Uf
value the country is richer in horseflesh

WHY HOT WEATHER MAKES WOMEN NERVOUS.
Suggestions by DR.. Hartman---How
to Combat the Nervous Depression
Incident to Warm Weather.

Nervousness is very common among
women. This condition is due to anaemie'
nerve centers. The nerve centers are
the reservoir for nerve vitality. These
centers become bloodies5 for the want OF
proper nutrition.
This condition is especially noticeable
during the warm season. Every sum-
mer an army of invalids are produced a.
direct result OF weak nervous systems.
This could easily be overcome by the
use of Peruna. Peruna strikes at the
root of the trouble BY correcting the
digestion. Perfect digestion furnishes in
creased nutrition for the nerve centres.
Perfectly digested food gives these reser-
voirs of life vitality which creates strong,
steady nerves, and IN this manner fortities
and nourishes life.
Miss Blanche Grey, a prominent young
society woman OF Memphis, Tenn. in 3
recent letter from ia Alabama street,
writes: "To society woman whose ner-
vous force is often taxed to the utmost
from lack of rest and irregular meals.
IcssosO of nothing aUttch tsof so much
benefit as Perun0. i took 1t few
months ago when / felt my strength Civ
ing way, and IT soon made Itself MAN
fest IN giving me ssetc strength and
health. ':--MiSS Blanche Grey

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review
Of trade says:
aside from the strike of garment
workers, developments of. the past
week have tended to strengthen con-
fdence. One political convention has
ended, and, although its action was
almost a foregone conclusion, the
industrial atmosphere is slightly
clearer. The fiscal year is drawing
to a close with national finance in
fine condition. the small shrinkage in
Federal customs receipts being no
cause for uneasiness. The most i'm
portant trade influence just now is
the progress of the crops and the
past week has brought no setback.
Seasonable weather has stimulated
distribution of merchandise, retail
business improving very noticeably
at many cities, although it is not GUS
tomary to find sales increasing at this
time. Railway earnings thus far for
June are surprisingly satisfactory, an
increase over last year of AZ per cent.
being reported.
Failures this week numbered 227
in the United States, against 223 last
year, and 81 in Canada, compared
with 70 year ago.

Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics.

One reason why Peruna has found per-
manent use in SO many homes is that it
contains no narcotic of any kind. Peruna
is perfectly harmless. 1t can be used any
length of time without acquiring drug
habit. Peruna does not produce temporary
results 1t is permanent in its effect.
1t has no bad effect upon the system,
and gradually eliminates catarrh by re-
moving the cause of catarrh. There are
multitude of homes where Peruna has been
used off and on for twenty years. Such
thing could not be possible ii Peruna con-
tanned any drugs of narcotic nature.
At this season of the year we are Pc
culiarly liable to inAammations Of the
stomach and bowels. 1t is the part of wis
dom to learn how to treat them short and
in the easiest and quickest manner. Pc
runa does this by its peculiar power over
all forms of catarrhal troubles.

WORMS ON THEIR TRAVELS.
1t With In Millions in Forests n
Hungary and Norway.

hungary dH0 norway.
The Sciara, of the genus Tipulx, Q
tiny wormlike creature which is
found in the forests of Norway and
Hungary during the month of July or
early in August, gather in huge num-
bers preparatory to migrating in
search of food or for change of con.
ditions. When setting out on this
journey they stick themselves togeth.
er by means of some glutinous mat.
ter, and form a huge serpentlike mass,
often reaching length of between
forty and fifty feet and several inches
in thickness. AS the sciara is only
on an average of about three thirty.
seconds of an inch in length, with no
appreciable breadth whatever, the
number required to form continuous
line of the size above mentioned is in,
calculable.
Their pace is, of course, very slow.
and upon meeting an obstacle, such as
stick or stone, they either writhe
over or around it, sometimes break
ing into two bodies for the purpose. A
celebrated French naturalist says that
if the rear portion of this snakelike
procession be brought into contact
with the front part the insects will
keep moving round in that circle for
hours; never seeming to realize that
they are getting no further on their
journey. If the portions be broken in
two the procession will unite in a
short time. When the peasant meets
one of these professions he will lay
some obstacle in front of 1t. If it
passes over it it is good omen.

Well Worth Seeing.

One of the most interesting exhibits
among the many of all kinds at the Louis
lana Purchase Exposition in st. Louis is
that of the Winchester Repeating Arms
Company, Of New, Haven, Conn, manu-
facturers of repeating rifles and shotguns
and all kinds Of ammunition. The exhibit
was in readiness and was opened on the
first day of the fair, fact that clearly
illustrates the enterprise and up-to-date
methods of the company behind it. 1t is
the aim of the Winchester Repeating
Arms Company to show at their exhibit
the high development which they have
reached in the making of guns and ammu-
milton, and one needs only to see the ex-
hibit to realize how near to perfection
that development has come. There can
be seen the new automatic repeating rifle,
all kinds of shotguns, the modern smoke
less powder shotgun shells and rifle car
tridges; in fact everything that can interest
the devotees of hunting and trap and tar
get shooting. Don't fail to see the exhibit
at the Manufacturers and Fish and Game
Buildings. It's well worth your while.
