TATARRH of the respiratory organs V is common ailment in Canada fo, Et least two thirds of the year.
 This condition is no doubt caused bv the long, severe winters experienced in this part of the continent.
 Therefore, when Peruna was dis covered by Canadian people to be re- liable remedy for these catarrhal dis eases, it at once became a popular medi- cine. not only among individuals and in families, but in the great hospitals where ! was used as preventative and relief in hundreds of eases.
 These institutions do not hesitate to give their endorsement of the remedy which has been So helpful in the treat ment of their poor and sick.
 Among these institutions is that of the Sisters of Good Shepherd, who gave the following endorsements: The PeruHa Company,

Enforcing Temperance.

The constant bettering of the
standard of temperance on the part
Of employees in all branches Of
human industry by the insistence
of those in authority that their
men be free from undue alcoholic
influence, whether in or out of
working hours, has been indicated
in these columns more than once.
This, it was concluded, was one of
the most powerful means for good
that could possibly be devised.
Every days development convinces
us further. When you can make
men believe that abstinence from
rum is the best policy, you Will
have sent home a more effective SER
mon than could be devised by all
the temperance orators in the Dis
trict preaching together along older
lines of appeal.
In this connection it is interesting
to note the plan recently adopted by
a great railroad of the Easy to keen
is5 firemen and engineers perma-
nently divorced from alcohol. The
edict went forth some time ago, but
has not always been implicitly
Obeyed. Now the road has called
the art of photography to its aid.
and has ''kodaked" and will con-
tinue TO Kodak" all employees of
the sort described found in the act
of ''hoisting." Those having toe
many pictures in this new sort of
gallery viii suffer the consequences.
1t is TO be presumed there win be
more OF less complaint from the
employees of the railroad at this
means of securing evidence. But
really they ought to accept it as a
species of reform movement that
will help them as well as the cor
poration they serve. It is better to
keep sober, even If a man has to be
given q little mild coercion in that
respect.

NO TARIFF FREE

Effort to Have Building Ma

California members OF Congress have
practically abandoned the effort to So
cure legislation allowing California 10
import building material duty free. The
agitation was the outcome OF the earth
quake and it was pointed out that great
benefits would accrue 20 those who are
anxious to rebuild. particularly il San
Francisco. But the viii OF the House
leaders is against the proposition, and
II VIII not come up.
Efforts were made to get assurances
from the Democratic leaders that they
would not offer amendments opening up
the entire question OF tariI revision. II
such a measure as the one desired by
some OF the California Representatives
shoulS be presented The Democrats re-
fused 10 commit themselves: so did the
Republican tariff revisiOnists. For that
reason alone, the matter would have
been dropped. but there were others
ready 10 oppose the proposition on con-
stitutionai grounds. Such a resolution
was passed for Portland. Ne, after il
had been destroyed by fire in 1866. and
again in Chicago in ISL. A similar reso-
luton was brought in for Boston in 1872
and IL passed the House. But the Senate

GOVERNMENT COAL
IS Up IN PRICE

Dangers of a coal famine having pass
ed, Lieutenant Poole, superintendent of
the State. War and Navy building. has
been able to secure a number of bids
for supplying fuel for the building dur
ing the fiscal year beginning July l.
The lowest bid, however, is cents
above the contract price for the current
year.
As 5000 tons Of furnace coal are call
ed for the difference will amount to a
considerable sum in the aggregate.
The lowest bidder was the J. Maury
Dove Company, which agreed to furnish
furnace coal at $5.45 per ton and stove
coal at S6-25. The other bids were as
follows: w II. NARROW, furnace, $5.64;
stove, s6.75. Johnson Bros, furnace,
So.79; stove. $6-75. William J. Zeh, fur
mace. $6.63; stove, $6.75.
The amount of stove coal called for
is small, in comparison with the fur
mace fuel required, only twenty tons
being needed.
The supply for the current fiscal year
became exhausted week ago. In antici-
patton of this shortage, Lieutenant
Poole was uneasy at the time when the
coal mining situation looked most ser
iOus. He has since been able to pro-
cure a sufficient amount 10 tide him
over TO July !.

PLAN NEW HOTEL
FOR THE AVENUE
Negotiations for Property at
the Northeast Corner of
Fourteenth Street.

Negotiations which have been pending
for some days are expected to close to-
day whereby the property located at the
northeast corner of Pennsylvania ave-
nue. ana Fourteenth street, owned by
Joseph c. Willard, will be transferred
to a corporation who viii as soon as
possible commence the erection Of a
handsome hotel with a capacity Of 900
rooms and intended to be at moderate
prices.
The ground has a frontage OF 80 feet
on Pennsylvania avenue, running back
149 feet on Fourteenth street with an
irregular depth Of as much as 105 feet
on the upper end, and contains in ell
1901 feet The price at which il is held
is stated at $3.50 per foot, wL<ch would
make the total cost approximately
$4,000
The company IL is stated. will be cap
italized at $4,000. and the balance OF
the money required viii be raised by
an Issue Of bonds. Already, IL is said all
the stock has been subscribed one
gentleman having agreed 70 take $50, 900
worth. and the balance finding ready
purchasers.
Among the names mentioned as con-
nected with the company are D. L. New
bold, Henry 9. Moses, Christian Heu-
rich, David Moore, .. NJ. Warwick w.
II. Henshaw, and several others
The very narrow front on Peunsyl-
wanna avenue viii be more than equal
lied by the large frontage on Fourteenth
street which viii make every room an
outside one. The present improvements
are of a minor character, and the new
building will add much 10 the neighbor-
hood.

A Petition Hopper. ="

Senator Lodge has introduced a
proposal to provide petition hop
per" for the upper house, into
which hereafter petitions and me-
MORALS shall be dropped without
reading. It is alleged that it takes
too much time to read these by
title, and so it IS proposed TO save
the time
1t is to be hoped the proposed
rule will not be adopted. There is
a widespread conviction among folks
who have studied the Senate in op-
Grafton that it spends no more use
full time in the service of the coun-
try than that which is devoted to
lstening-however carelessIy, how
ever casually-to the reading of the
titles of petitions. It may bore the
Senate-doubtless does-but when
that body gets sufficiently bored
over listening, say, to petitions for
free alcohol, it can shut them off
by passing the free alcohol bill.
Tie passage of this bill by both
houses at this session, with assur-
ance that it will become law. is a
monument to the efficacy of the pe-
tition. even in this somewhat blase
day when legislators go out to
