UNIVERSITIES CLAIM
CATHOLIC INSTITUTION SUES FOR
RECOVERY ON NOTES.

The Catholic University OF America today
fled suit at law against Henry P. Wagga-
man to recover $4,000, with interest, al
legged to be due on a promissory note. 1t
is explained by the rector of the university,
Dennis j. O'Conne11, that July 10, 1889,
Henry P. Waggaman, by his note now
overdue, promised to pay to the order of
Benjamin X. Plain, on or before two years
after date, $4,000. with interest. The note
was Endorsed to the Catholic University of
America, which is now the owner of it.
This note, it is stated, was duly presented
to the defendant for payment, but payment
was refused and. Rector OConnell con-
tends, the university is justly entitled to re-
cover from the defendant the full amount.
The Catholic University of America today
also filed suit at law against John F. Wag-
gaman to recover a total of SIS. 1874 al
legged to be due on promissory notes.
The Endorsement.
Each of these notes was made payable by
John F. Waggaman to Thomas E. Wagga-
man, and was Endorsed by the latter as fol-
lows:
..Pay to the order of the Catholic Univer-
sity of America. It. f. Waggaman.
II hereby guarantee the payment of the
within note principal and interest, March
l6, 1904. r. E. Waggaman."
1t is explained by Rector O'Connell that
on various dates in the years 1897, 1898.
1899 and 1900 the university became the
holder and owner of the notes In question;
that they are due and unpaid. and payment
has been refused.
Attorneys Hamilton & Colbert represent
the Catholic University of America.
But Two Responses.
1t was learned today that Mr.. Andrew Y.
Bradley. referee in bankruptcy in the
Waggaman case. has received but few re-
sponses from his circular letter sent to the
creditors of the bankrupt. suggesting that
they waive the sending out of notices each
time a piece or parcel of the Waggaman
assets is to be sold. as required by the
bankruptcy law.
Mr.. Bradley stated that by waving the
notices as proposed between 5000 and
10000 would be saved to the creditors The
few that responded affirmatiyely to . the
proposition will. he added. not make any
material diminution in these figures. unless
a great deal of the property of the bank
rupt is sold in bulk.

Then the soul in its dole stands all

Seems to rest on the breast that no long

life, even one of which, being lacking
what artisan or jeweler could replace?
He realized for the first time the
magic touch that had transformed the
hut into the beautiful palace; that had
made man out of a driveling slave;
that had cast before him jewels of pre-
cious life. gold of love and diamonds
of sparkling faith. Precious lamp of
his soul. she had lighted to him the
magic of the universe: at a word she
had conjured faith. life, love, wealth
and honor. and now, at a touch, aye,
at thought, sinister, unrelenting
thought, all these things seemed TO dis
appear from his sight forever.
Alladin sought out the doctor and
cast before him all that he possessed.

treasures but save my wife"
The doctor shook his head and said.
Il am but the slave of the Drug and

Fate DEGREES will be. | have done all

Alladin departed and it seemed to
him as If he was wandering out into
the wilderness. The world was DESC
late and drear and seemed a vast des-
ert to his weary eyes, but still he
hoped on and, one day. after the doctor
had come and gone again. it seemed
as IL he saw again in the distance the
spires of his wonderful magic palace,
but 1t was far. far away. He seemed
to travel onward. hoping against hope.
Each day hope grew nearer to his
sight until at length. with a joyous cry.
he ran to embrace his wife. beautiful
in his own eyes, in the fullness of her
restored health.
The dread disease was dead.
BY the touch of this magic joy he
was again transported back to his old
happy self and the people that see
him now wonder at the light in his
eyes and the joy in his face.
He knows the value of his treasure.
he can feel the magic in her eyes and
touch and he has counted the wealth
of her love in the measure of her beau
tiful deeds.
He sees. he is awake and he realizes.

the paralysis which had begun would in
time involve my whole body"
Just how were you afflicted at this
time?" Mr.. Kenney was asked.
Well, had first hot, and then cold
and clammy feelings, and at times my
body felt as il needles were being stuck
into 1t. These sensations were followed
by terrible pains, and again would have
no feeling at all, but nunbness would
come over me, and would not be able TO
move. The most agonizing tortures came
from headaches and pain in the spine.
Night after night could not get my
natural sleep and my system was wrecked
by the strain of torturing pains and the
effect of the Opiates was forced to take
to induce sleep. AS look back on the
terrible suffering endured during this
period often wonder how l retained my
reason through it all.
But relief came quickly when I
was induced to try DIR. Williams Pink

seemed to help me, and seven boxes made
me entirely well. There can be 10 doubt
