THE OLDEST MAN IN AMERICA
Escaped the errors OF
\ Many Winters BY

IN speaking Of his good health ana

perience. think have done so.
zone of the things 1 have found
out to my entire satisfaction IS the
proper Thing for ailments that
are due directly to the effects Of
the climate. For III years ! have
withstood the c1angeable climate
of the United States.
81 have always been a very healthy
man, but, Of course, subject to the at
fections which are due to sudden
changes in the climate and tempera-
ture. During my long life have known
a great many remedies for coughs, colds
and diarrhoea.
Gas for DR.. Harfn7an's remedy,
Peruna, Ihave found 1t to be the
best, If not the only, reliable REM
edy for these affections. II has
been my standby for many years,
and I attribute my good health
and extreme old age to this remedy.
cit exactly meets all my require
ments. 1t protects me from the evil Of.
fects Of sudden changes; it keeps me In
good appetite; 1t gives me strength; II
keeps my blood in good circulation.

"When epidemics Of 10 grippe first
began to make their appearance in this
country I was sufferer from this
disease.
81 had several long sieges wifi
the grip. At first did not Know
that Peruna was q remedy for
this disease. When Ihesrd that
Ia grippe was epidemic catarrh,
tried Peruna for Ia grippe and
found 1t to be just the thing.
In later letter, Mr.. Brock writes:
ST am well and feeling a. we'll -
have for years. The only thing that
bothers me is my sight. II I could see
better could walk all over the farm,
and it would do me good. would not
be without Peruna."
Yours truly,

When old age comes, 1t brings With
it catarrhal diseases. Systemic catarrh
is almost universal in old people. This
explains why Peruna has become 20
indispensable to many old people.

United States Commissioner decided
that they must go to that State and
plead to the indictments, they fled to
Canada. They had been at liberty
on $4,000 bail each, and this was
forfeited. Efforts to extradite Gay
nor and Greene from Montreal were
progressing favorably, and the Ex-
tradition Commission was sitting in
Montreal, when Gaynor and Greene
went to Quebec. Question arose -
to whether they could be brought
back, and detectives kidnapped them
and took them to Montreal. There
was a big legal fight over the action,
and Quebec judge issued writ of
habeas corpus, which was served on
the jailer at Montreal, who delivered
up the prisoners without notification
to the Extradition Tribunal and per-
mitted them TO be rushed back to
Quebec. Efforts to quash the writ Of
habeas corpus under which they had
been returned were denied by Justice
Caron. After long legal cortrover-
sy, Gaynor and Greene obtained their
liberty within the limits Of the Prov
ince of Quebec. The United States
Government then appealed o the
Privy Council of England, the highest
court in that country, which ordered
the prisoners delivered to the Ameri-
can authorities. They were then ta-
ken to Savannah, Ca, where they
were tried and convicted

A ca'blegram received by Senior Gar
biras, the Venezuelan charge from
Caracas, confirms the announcement
of the temporary retirement Of Presi.
dent Castro from the presidency Of
Venezuela and the installation Of
Vice-President Vincent Gomez as
acting president. "Gen. Castro de-
sires long rest and intends going
into the country" the charge said.
"There is nothing in our advices to
indicate that his retirement is to be
permanent. "Gen. Gomez acted as
president for more than a month last
year, when Gen. Castro was going
down the Orinoco. The constitution
of Venezuela requires that the vice.
president shall act in tie absence Of
the president from the capital and
there is nothing unusual in the pres
ent situation. It was stated at the
Venezuelan legation that the republic
is at absolute peace and suggestions
that revolutionary movements might
have caused Castro to retire were
laughed at by the charge who said
that all rumors of a revolutionary
movement against Gen. Castro by his
brother Celestino Castro and other
leaders are absolutely unfounded."

For more than four hours Mr.. Bal
ley held the undivided attention Of the
Senate with a speech in reply to Mr..
Spooner and Mr.. Knox, and just be-
fore its conclusion there was signifi-
cant suggestion from Mr.. Hale indi-
eating the possibility Of an under
standing and an early vote on the
railroad rate bill. The day was one
Of the most notable in the recent his
tory Of the Senate. Very few Sena-
tors were absent and every seat in the
galleries was held with marked ten
acity. Many members Of the House
crowded into the Senate chamber,
some of them standing for hours.
Several Senators and many spectators
went without lunch rather than miss
any part Of Mr.. Bailey's speech, and
with its conclusion the speaker was
congratulated by many. There were
comparatively few interruptions and
there was no effort at applause until
the close of the speech, when there
was hand-clapping in the galleries,
which the vice-president was for a
time unable to check. The close at
tention given throughout the four
hours was all the more marked in view
Of the legal character Of the argu-
ment. Mr.. Bailey set out to establish
the soundness Of the contention that
Congress has power to deny to the
inferior United States courts the right
to suspend the order Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission pending the
final decision Of cases arising under
the proposed law. This he under
took to do by citing innumerable de-
cisions Of the courts and quoting
many other authorities. The citations
were interspersed with his comments.
Mr.. Hale announced his willingness to
accept the anti-suspension amendment
and expressed confidence that if Mr..
Bailey would on the other hand agree
to broad court review there would
be comparatively little difficulty In
reaching an agreement on the bill.
Mr.. Bailey said he did not believe
that review by the courts could be
denied under the Constitution.
