PLOT TO WRECK
WARSHIP Barred
Obstruction Placed to Pierce Hull;
of the Battleship Con-
necticut.

New York, Sept. 28-With the in
tention of running the hull of the bat
tleship Connecticut, which will be
launched at the New York hayward
Thursday, some person or persons placed
an obstruction on the ways. When it
was placed there, or by. whom, is not
known, for it was not discovered until
divers were sent down to make an inves,
tigation. This investigation was made
as matter of precaution, and the naval
officers then learned that an obstruction
had been placed on the ways that would
have destroyed the work Of months.
Officers at the hayward would not
discuss the matter at all yesterday, and
it would not have become known If, in
two watchmen had not0been stationed
at the stern of the vessel with loaded
revolvers and instructions to fire at any
suspicious object in the water. It is
believed that the obstruction was
brought to the yard and placed in posi-.
ton from boat. ~, - h FL

the Vatican and with the papal blessing.
This is an honor never before bestowed
upon this society, and as far as known
upon any other soAety. Naturally
there was great rejoicing among the

Pe-ru-na Is Preventative and Cura-

Hon. E. H. Fitch, formerly special
United States Attorney, State Of Virginia,
writes from the Census Office building,
Washington, D. c., as follows: People
cannot live in the variable climate of the
Eastern and Atlantic Coast states and
escape liability to colds and catarrhal at
fections. The wide and common preva-
lence of these ailments is proof enough
of the assertion. I have been no excep.-
ton, but I have found a sure means for
cOmbat ting those greatest objections to
this climate, and that is Peruna. Taken
as directed it is a cure for present ca
tarrhal Affections and a preventative OF
future distress Of that kind."-E. H.

Hon. Robert W.<Davis. member of Con1

follows:
IT can cheerfully recommend your rem-
edy. Peruna, a very effective cure fos
coughs, colds and catarrh Robert W.
Davis.
Colds Not Promptly Cured Are Sure to
Cause Catarrh.
Peruna cures catarrh That is all that
DR.. Hartman claims for it. But catarrh
assumes various phases in the human
system.
The day was when men Of prominence
hesitated to give their testim onials to
proprietary medicines for publication. This
remains true today of most proprietary
medicines. But Peruna has become SO
justly famous, it's merits are known to so
many people of high and low stations,
that no one hesitates to see his name in
print recommending Peruna.
If you do not derive prompt and salts

full statement of your case, and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad-
