All Guns to Be Resiohted.

Plans are being drawn in the bureau
4of ordnance at Washington for the re-
sighting Of all the guns in the United
States navy. The cost of this work
will be tremendous, but its necessity
was readily realized when called to
the attention of the president and the.
orders have already been issued. An
improved variety of sight will BE used
and the work will be pushed with all
the rapidity practicable For the
rapid-fire guns telescope sight will
be used, of kind that will permit of
continuous aim. Nearly all of the
guns are in need of resighting.

The Magnificent State
PRAISE FROM THE EX-GOVERNOR OF OREGON

DERUNA is known from the Atlantic to
l. the Pacific. Letters Of congratulation
and commendation teMifying to the
merits OF Peruna as a catarrh remedy are
pouring In from every State of the Union
DIR. Hartman is receiving hundreds of
such. letters daily. All Glasses write these
letters, from the highest to the lowest.
The outdoor laborer. the indoor artisan,
the clerk. the editor. the statesman, the
preacher-all agree that Peruna il the ca
tarrh remedy of the age
The stage and rostrum, recognizing ca
tarrh as their greatest enemy, are espe-
cially enthusiastic in their praise and tes-
timony.
Any man who wishes perfect health must
be entirely free from catarrh. Catarrh is
well-nigh universal; almost omnipresent.
Yeruna is the only absolute safeguard
known. A cold is the beginning of catarrh.
To prevent colds, to cure colds, is to cheat,
catarrh of it's victims.
Pcy1tna not only cures ca tG,.s,h, but
prevents tt. Ere ~ hoMsch old should

odnirer Of Peruna. He keeps it contin-
ually in the house.

1t will be noticed that the Ex-Governor
says he has not had occasion to use Peruna
for other ailments. The reason for this is,
most other ailments begin with Il cold.
Using Peruna to promptly cure colds, he
protects his family against other ailments.
This is exactly what every other family
in the United States should do-.keep Pc

had some money enough to feed
him, cloth him, keep his business
going and a share for good works
but he was not rich, in the latter
day meaning Of the word.
Nor was ne powerful, as we
speak Of money kings, governors,
senators and presidents beingspow-
erful. He was mayor Of a thriving
city: that is all that can be said for
official power.
He was seccessful because Of the
great heart that throbbed in his
breast. lie had a tender feeling
for the PLAN people, and tried to
live as he preached.
Why, that man believe d that
everybody should have chance.
he believed that in the homes Of
the most lowly there should be
sunshine and laughter and happi-
n IS, and that those things could
best be secured by mixing into the
affairs Of everyday life, whether
they had to do with the home or
the workshop, these words:
Therefore all things whatsoever
ye would that men should do you,
do ye even 50 to them.
Some of the big men of business
called him a crank. They said he
would destroy trade; thai the line
between those who work and those
who employ must besharply drawn;
that he was destroyer Of discip-
line. But he had the courage to
take his ideas into his own factory,
and demonstrate that they would
work out; that it is possible to be
kind and sympathetic in business,
and still show a profit at the end Of
each year.
When Sam Jones walked the
streets the men who were at work
in the sewer trench smiled at him.
They liked his hearty Good morn

Difference in NationaIities.

told story which goes far to illus
trate one difference between the two
armies in the orient according to the
Army and Navy Journal. He painted
picture of the headquarters of Rus
sian army during a great battle in the
war with Turkey. In the foreground
was large collection of empty cham,
payne and vodka bottles. A grand
duke was scandalized by this and in
sisted that these evidences of dissipa-
ton should be eliminated from the
picture Verestchagin perforce con-
scented, but he continued to assert that
they were where he put them when he
made mis- sketch of the battlefield The

SCREAMS OF A PARROT
Two Tragedies Took Place at
a Gotham Corner.
HE TOOK CARBOLIC ACID
Man Fell from a Window He
Was Cleaning

New York, April 1.-Two tragedies
which have occurred within half an hour
Of each other at Broadway and Thirty
fourth street caused much excitement
the most frequented corners of New
York after dark.
On the sidewalk before the abandoned
Broadway tabernacle, a youth was no.
tired pacing back and forth, weeping.
Curious crowds stopped to gaze at the
young man, who, however, spoke 10 no
one. For nearly an hour he walked in
front of the old church and then, in plain
view of hundreds. suddenly drew a vial
of carbolic acid from his pocket, drank
the contents and fell in commissions. He
was carried into drug store but could
not be saved. He was identified as a
messenger who had been thrown out of
work and apparently had eaten nothing
In Two days
Excitement over the suicide had just
begun to Subsde when a portly man fell
from the third floor of building close
by. He struck the Broadway sidewalk On
his head and was carried into the same
drug store, where he died in a few min
utes. The unfortunate was a rubber
stamp manufacturer who lived in the
building from which he fell. After re-
turning from the street where he aided
the dying messenger he had determined
to clean the windows and lost his balance.
His wife, in another room, learned of the
accident through the wild screams of a
parrot which, hanging by a window, saw
its master fall to his, death.
