REGULAR At CHURCH SERVICE.
Two Philadelphia Cats Have Pro-
nounced Religious Turn.


Opposite Hunting Park, on Old
York road, resides a family, Torpey
by name. The Torpeys own two cats
that are different from other cats in
that they go to- church. AS regularly
az Sunday morning arrives the pair
of felines may be seen following the
Torpeys to st. Stephens church,
Broad and Butler streets. No matter
what the weather or transpirings on
back fences, the two pious cats brave
probable attacks by impious mongrels
and set an example that many hui
mans would do we'll to follow.
Neighbors will attest to the truthful
ness of the statement that the church
going felines spend the very early
morning hours of Sunday in licking
themselves into that state of cleanli-
ness which is said to be secondary
only to goodness. Their fur is glossy,
their paws immaculate, and not a
whisker is out of place.
Arrived at the church, the cats con-
tent themselves with peering in at the
door. They are seemingly content to-
delegate the praying to their owners.
Then they slip into the vestibule of
the priests house adjoining, curl up
and doze until church is out, when
they follow the Torpeys home and live
normal cat lives until another Sunday.

TO OVERTHROW
GERMAN RULE
BOer Leader Arrested for Plot.
ting Against German Rule
in Southwest Africa.
10 Accused of Having Arranged With
Rebel Natives to Make Common
Cause With Beers, Who Are
Organizing and Aiming

Andrew Dewet, nephew OF
the famous Boer, Christian Dewet, has
been arrested at his residence in a
suburb of Windhoek, German South
west Africa, with four other Beers, &C
cused of plotting the overthrow OF
German rule in Southwest Africa, to
create a Boer republic. This news,
p%urporting to come from an excellent
authority, was distributed to the Ger
man press by the Hanseatic Press bu-
reau and is accepted as true by other
journals.
Andrew Dewet, who is a merchant of
Windhoek, is described as having ar
ranged with the rebel natives to make
common cause with them. About 49,
600 Beers are said to be in German
Southwest Africa, one-quarter of whom
are organized. Considerable quanti-
ties of arms were seized at Dewet's
house. Although the arrest occurred
August %, nothing was reported by
cable to the newspapers, doubtless on
account of the censorship.
Andrew Dewet married a daughter
Of a Prussian' army officer.

BIG PUBLISHER SUED.

Chicago, Oct. 16.-The Peruna Drug
Manufacturing Company, m%anufactur.
ers of a widely known proprietary med.
fcine, has brought suit in the Superior
Court of the City of Chicago against
the Curtis Publishing Company of Phil.
a~delphia, alleging that 1t has been
damaged to the extent of $250,000 by a
recent article in the Ladies' Home
Journal.
The suit is based on a statement re-
Gently made in that journal that a
testimonial as to the merit of the rem
edy manufactured by the plaintiff, al
lesl to have been given by Congress
man George H. White Of South Caro-
lima, was fraudulent, denial from Mr..
White that he ever gave such a testi-
monial also being printed.
The Peruna company declares that
Congressman White did give the testi.
monial IN good faith, and that it has
two original letters from Mr.. White. 1t
declares that Mr.. White was led to
repudiate the testimonial through a
misunderstanding.
This is the second large damage suit
that has been filed against the Curtis
Publishing company since 1t inaugur-
ated its attacks on Patent Medicines"
Our statute mile, 1000 PAGES, used
also in England, was fixed in the tins

Bodies Strew the Beach.

Manila.-The estimated loss in the
hemp growing districts from the raw
ages of the recent typhoon is $4,000
90 in gold. The hemp in warehouses
ready for shipment is also a total
loss. The plantations are impaired to
such an extent that it will take a
year to get them in condition again.
Reports now coming in from the
south indicate a greater loss of life
and property than was first estimated.

babies. Babies, say the doctors, are
not to be soothed by such artificial
methods as cradles and sugar plums
or rubber rings. These things are
really nerve destroyers. Opposing
mothers then want to know how it Is

pie have been rocked in cradles,
brought up on rubber nipples fastened
to corks and Jumps of sugar carelessly
tied in a piece of unsterilized cloth.
They want to know If the antiseptic

folks will no doubt welcome the new

AGAINST THE PUBLIC interest,".
overzeaIous Reformers Work for Law
Against Proprietary Medicines

Against Proprietary Medicines
Schemes to diminish or destroy
the sale of proprietary medicines are
constantly being devised by interested
parties. Every now and then some
jealous reformer comes to the front
with the demand for a law to require
every package Of proprietary medi'
cine to be labeled with a printed
statement of the formula showing
Just how it is manufactured. The mil
lions of people who use proprietary
medicines seem to be satisfied; bUi
the man with a mania for regulating
the affairs of other people or who VAS
some personal interest to serve Is
the one who agitates the proposition
To u person who has never taken
time to consider it, such a proposition
may seem reasonable enough; yet II
is in fact nothing more nor less than
q scheme to compel the manufactur.
ers to put their trade throughout the
entire country at the mercy of every
commercial pirate who might choose
to flood the market with imitatioas OF
their goods.
Under such conditions the incen.
tive for the original manufacturer to
advertise his goods would be practi.
cally destroyed, for the money spent
on advertising would inure mainl" to
the benefit Of the pirates and Anita
tors. Without advertising. the public
would receive little information in
regard to the medicine, and, all future
sales would be greatly impaired IL
not wholly destroyed. 1t is mainly by
judicious advertising that the knowl-
edge Of proprietary medicines Is,
brought to the public. Nothing is
more certain than that millions Of peo-
pie have found relief at a compare
lively small expense by the use of
some remedy first called to thefr
notice through newspaper advertising.
Why, then, should the manufacturer
of a meritorious proprietary remedy
be compelled by law to practically
destroy his business as a condition of
being allowed to carry it on Yet
that is exactly what these formula
bills mean.-Exchap &c.

Travelling agents and statesmen are

Chicago packers into all South Ameri-

going into every land, no matter what

money be used. They will exchange
their goods for cowries or elephant
tusks-anything to sell the product
and get something in return converti-
BILE into money. 1t may seem odd to
some folks, but travelling men, carry
ing cases with samples of American
meat products, can be seen In the
desert of Sahara, the sands of Zanzi-
