introduced in the legislature ana most
obnoxious to the loan sharks, is one
which requires the companies who
make loans on salary, to file copy of
their agreement with their customer
with his employer. II that bill should
become a law and should be thoroughly
enforced it would have a powerful
tendency to stop that branch of the
loan business. Another, scarcely less
obnoxious law TO the loan sharks is
that, prohibiting them from charging
and collecting more than six per cent
on their loans and forbids them to
charge higher than the ordinary notary
fees for acknowledgements.

Oh EGW 10TH. II Has hISO DcCH SdS6CoN-
ed that the state convention name the
candidate for United States senator
prior to the election of such senator
by the New York state legislature.
While the former proposition urdOubt-
eddy meets with general approval
among the democrats in the different
parts OF the state, the latter sugges-
ton has not been favorably received.
However. 1t is of no particular conse-
quence. as it is generally admitted that
the chances of eIectfng a democratic
United States senator are extremely
slim.

Japan in the present difficulty. The way
in which the people here receive every
bit of news, Indicating success of the
Japanese. the enthusiasm shown over
the dash and courage of the eastern
yankees during their first attack upon
Port Arthur, feaves no doubt as to the
directions in which the sympathy of
the people lies. The local Japanese

sieged all week by persons who were
anxious to offer assistance in some
form or other to Japan Hundreds VOL

or navy while others came forward
with various practical or unfeasibIe
plans for raising funds in the interest
of Japan's war fund. The Jews of New
York showed themselves particularly
eager to assist Japan and the reason
| given by many was. that it was not so
much the desire to help Japan, as the
desire to get even with Russia for the
massacre at Kisheneff. that prompted
their offers.

The upheaval of public opinion in
this city caused by the outrageous
methods of the gas trust, has caused
sympathetic outburst of energy and
activity in the state Legislature which
promises train loads of trouble to the
above mentioned gas trust. It looks at
present as II it would cost the trust i
handsome sum OF money to prevent the
passage of some decidedly unpleasant
and vexatious laws. 1t Is even possible
that the intensity of the public feeling
In the matter viii be considered too
strong by the legislators to risk any
tactics unservient to the interests of
the trust 1t might be rather danger
Gus for any members of the Legislature,
should 1t be discovered that he had
been approached by any representative
of the trust. Even the erection of a
municipal gas plant has been suggested
and the appointment of a committee to
report on that proposition has been
| favorably received in the board OF al
dermen.

j. Pferpont Morgan has made an
other lucky investment the other day,
when he purchased the Louis Sayre
Burchard collection of Norman French
romances which several American uni
versities wanted to buy but could not,
pense. The library was gathered by
student of the chivalrous literature of
the fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth
centuries and contains more rare illum-
mated manuscripts and block-printed
books than any other collection in this
country, excepting, perhaps, that in the
Robert Hoe library The valuable coll
lection will soon be placed in the mag
nificent marble library which is in
course of construction in the rear of

property. succeeded to escape taxation
by making oath that they were nom
residents. Both claimed Newport as
their place of residence. 1t is expected
that quite a number of the select of

the Goelets, to the loss and detriment of

NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-The attitude
of Murphy, the Tammany leader leaves
no longer any doubt that Cleveland
and no other representative of the dem
ocratic party is the presidential can
didate favored by Tammany. The pro-
verbal cat has neatly escaped from

Murphy would have kept the democrats
of New York and those of the whole
country guessing for some time to
come, at least until the political at
mosphere would have become little
clearer, but circumstances forced his
hand The friends of Mayor McC1ei-
Ian strongly favored that the New York
delegates to the st. Louis convention
should be instructed In favor of their
candidate, but Murphy put a big and
husky foot in favor of Cleveland,

the latter can get the nomination, as

New Serial in McClure's.

In the November McClure's Stewart
Edward White givesa new serial which
reveals new power and breadth in his
uniformly splendid work. Out Of the
great northern forests of "The Blazed
Trail" and the snowy wastes of "The
Silent Places" he has moved his scene
of action to the boundless plains and
painted deserts of Arizona. He sees
and feels the beauty and the awe Of
the desert as he does of the forest, and
is able to make his reader share this
insight and pleasure with him, The
story he tells here is the story vivitied,
flaming with its color, poignant with
the sense of immensely. In this strange
weird and stupendous setting he lays
his plot and unrolls tale, simple and
deep. 1t is the story of coming togeth-
er of the Big Man of the Wilderness
and the Little Woman of the Town
how the desert, picturesque and ro'
mantle to him, terrible and repellent
to her, affects their lives and fate,
Mr.. White carries his reader far into
his narrative in this first iustalment,
and @hets the appetite far more with
rare skill One feels the thrill o.
giant forces ut work, OF something tire
mendous impending

Cause Of LOckiaW.

Lockiaw, or tetanus, is caused by a
bacillus or germ which exists plenti-
fully in street dirt. 1t is inactive so
long as exposed to the air, but when
carried beneath the skin, as in the
wounds caused by percussion caps or
by rusty nails, and when the air is ex-
clpded the germ is reused to activity
and produces the most virulent poison
known. These germs may be destroy
ed and all danger of lockjaw avoided
by applying Chamberlain's Pain Balm
freely as soon as the injury is received.

Up to the present the achievements of the ylctors were the only ones to which any monument has been erected on the held of Waterloo.

Pe-ru-na Protects the Entire House hold Against Catarrhal
 Diseases.

One of the greatest foes with which every family has to contend is our changeable climate. To protect the family from colds and coughs is always a serious problem, and often impossible.
 Sooner or later it is the inevita ble fate of every one to catch cold. Care in avoiding exposure and the use of proper clothing will protect from the frequency and perhaps the severity of colds, but with the greatest of precautions they will come. This is a settled fact of human experience. Everybody must expect to be caught somewhere or some how.
 Perhaps it will be wet feet, or a draught, or damp clothes, or it may be one of a thousand other little mishaps, but no one Is shrewd enough to always avoid the inevitable catching cold.
 There is no fact of medical science better known than that Peruna cures catarrh wherever located. Thousands of families in all parts of the United States are protected from colds and catarrh by Peruna. Once in the family Peruna always stays. No home can spare Peruna after the first trial of it.
