hours before he could go to church

Races Were Run on the Track at
ReadviIIe.
Readville, Mass, June 11.-Several
almost miraculous escapes from serious
injury were witnessed by the $4,000
persons who gathered at the Readville
track to-day to witness the racing
events of the Massachusetts Automo-
bile Club.
William Wallace, while riding at a
mile minute pace and at time when
he had virtually won a contest, exc
cuted sharp turn, his machine skid
ding around at the lower end of the
tour. 1t was only because of the clever
handling of the car driven by H. L.
Bowden that the two did not come to-
gether.
In heat of the five mile invitation
race, Louis Ross, the holder of the
worlds mile record, while racing his
new steamer, known as BLACK Death"
swerved from one side to the other,
breaking a rear axle, tearing a wheel
from the hub md sliding for about
100 yards down the stretch on the
boilers of his machine. This incapaci-
tated the car, but not before Ross had
established a five-mile worlds record
for steamers. he having won a previous
heat in SIS 3-5.

Lao Yang, Russian Headquarters.
June 11.-Reports from Chinese sources
are to the effect that the Japanese
forces near Port Arthur have been
heavily reinforced. 1t is believed that
an attempt TO take the fortress by as
sault will be made as soon as the Japa-
nese are strong enough to invest on the
land side and at the same time pro-
tect themselves from possible attack
in the rear in case the Russians send
q force from the north.
There are persistent rumors again
that the Port Arthur squadron has sue
ceeded in making a sortie, but no OFF,
cial confirmation of the report is OBJ
tainabls.
The Russian reinforcements on their
way here will soon materially change
the situation and enable Gen. Kuropat-
kin to move freely.
Gen. Kuroki's main army Is still at
Feng Wang Cheng. Russian scouts
cover his right flank above Saimatsza
and extending eastward. They are in
constant touch with the enemy, and
there are almost daily skirmishes of
more or less importance. Developments
are anticipated in this direction.

ARTIFICIAL RUBlES.
From the New York Sun.


A jeweler recently laid two rubies on
his counter. and asked a customer to
select the better stone. They We're of
about the same size. The customer ex-
amined each carefully. and then made
his selection.
II thought that would be the one"

have selected it. The one you have
chosen is worth only $35, however,
while the other one is worth s24O."

The process of it's manufacture is

CATARRHAL NERVOUSNESS.
Condition Known as Systemic Catarrh---A
COngressman's Endorsement

IN r. G.. 3. GROVE, a physician and
a very influential man in Ala
~ bama and chairman of the
Populist State Committee, in a recent
letter to DIR. Hartman, of Columbus,
Ohio. says
Washington, ID. Q.
"Peruna is a most valuable medicine.
1t affords me unlimited pleasure to
testify as to the merits of your remedy
as a catarrh cure. 1 have used it as
such and find it of very great benefit
when my nervous system is run down.
1 heartily recommend Peruna to all
whose nervous systems are deranged."
&c. Ii. Grove, NJ. ID.
The nervous system is the source of
all our bodily powers, mental or
physical.
The brain and spinal cord generate
the power and the nerve flbers convey
the power to every part of the body.
1t is the nerves that give the heart
power to beat; it is the nerves that
give the arteries the power to con-
tract, and thus regulate the flow of
blood through them.
Each artery is provided with an
elastic or muscular coat, which is
capable of contracting or expanding
so as to permit more or less blood to
pass through, according to the needs
of the body.
When the nerves are paralyzed or
weakened this contractile power of
the blood vessels is wholly or partly
destroyed.
This produces congestion, especially
of the mucous membrane lining the
various organs of the body.
When this congestion continues for
some time it is known as chronic ca
tarrh.
The congestion may occur in the
mucous membrane lining the nose.
throat. bronchial tubes, stomach,
bowels, kidneys and pelvic organs.
Whenever it occurs it produces the
same condition-chronic catarrh.

gress from West Virginia, writes:

Fusan, June 1.-THE present is an
other period of preparation. and the

He Could Not COlIecs Damages From
His Critic.
Berlin, June 11.-"Suit dismissed with
costs for the PLAINTIFF was the verdict
of the court yesterday at Frankfort
on-the-Main in the suit which Kube-
lik, the violinist. brought against DR..
Gehrmann, the music critic of the
Frankfurter Zeitung, for what the VIC
linist deemed insulting personalities in
criticisms of his concerts. DR.. Gehr-
mann described Kubelik as a Stupid
looking man of superfine effeminate APP
pearance," and spoke of him also as
specialist, and miracle worker. who
produced nothing but tones"
p The court. in explaining the reasons
for the dismissal of the suit, said the
Specialist" was justified. since Kube-
Xix cultivated the break-neck feats of
a Paganini." adding: 1T is now Gus
tomary everywhere for critics to de-
scribe the personal appearance of art
lists for their readers who were not
present at the concert, and Kubelik
probably would have been satisfied IL
the personal description had been more
fattering."

him in his own home, where he was
kind, gentle and affectionate.
