writes:
my health was excellent until about
a year ago, when had a complete COL
lapse from OVERRIDING socially: not get

suppers. My stomach was in a dread
full condition, and my nerves all un-
strung.

runa, and eventually bought bottle

using it for three months.
AT the end of that time my health
was restored, my nerves no longer

more and able to assume my social
position. I certainly feel that Peruna

pecially roses, placed in a symmetri-
cal row, with even spaces between,
and arranged without. foliage.

UTICA, y. Y, May S.-Two hundred
thousand dollars IN return for loan
OF So has been the experience Of John
Kennedy, formerly an employe Of the
Gouverneur Quarries.
Kennedy was at his home in the VII
lage Of GouVerneur one evening some
years ago, when a stranger appeared
at his door who soon made himself
known as a boyhOOd friend and com
panion OF Kennedy. He was entertained
that night. and In the morning he in
formed Kennedy that he was dead
broke" and requested the loan Of So.
He said that he had nothing 70 give
him in return excepting some shares in
a gold mine in the KIOndike.
Kennedy made him the loan and put
the shares away, and had about forgot
ten their existence. In the meantime he
went West with his family. His resi-
dence in Gouverneur had almost become
a memory, excepting to his former inti-
mate friends, until the other day
communication was received from Park
City, Utah. in which II was stated that
the mine In which he held a few shares
had proved to be one Of the best in
the Klondike, and that the sale had just
been COnsummated TO Chicago capital
lists. and the stock which Kennedy pur-
chased for SIS melted him 10000.

EIGHT-HOUR LAW
UPHELD BY COURT

Justice McComas. of the Court of Ap-
peals. has handed down an opinion sus-
tanning the eight-hour law as constitu-
uonal and defining what constitutes an
extraordinary emergency.
TIE case was that Of the Penn Bridge
Company. appealed from the Police
Court, in which the defendant had been
fined 500 for working one Of its en-
ployes more than eight hours. The
original plea. OF the defendants was
that the eight-hour law was unconsd-
tutional, which the court oyerruled.
Then the plea OF extraordinary emer-
gency was offered, on which the case
was heard.
That the law is constitutional Justice
McComas cites the decision Of the
United states Supreme Court in the
case OF Atkins VS.. the State Of Kansas.
Extraordinary emergency" is defined
as a sudden and unexpected happening

MARINES IN CUBA
ORDERED TO STAY
Taft Thinks That Better
Plan Than Sending Troops
From Here.

officials Of the Navy Department and
Marine Corps are not wholly pleased
over the decision Of Secretary of War
Taft that the marine guard should be
retained in Cuba indefinitely. Accord
ingly, the order issued some time ago
for the withdrawal Of the guard, num-
bering nearly LOO officers and men, has
been revoked, and It will be at least next
fall before they are returned TO their
regular stations in Washington, Phila-
nelphia. Norfolk, New York, and Boston.
The naval and marine officers take the
stand that as there does not appear 10
them to be urgent need OF the marines
as n guard In Cuba, they should be al
lowed to return home for other duty
and leave the situation in the island en-
tirely for the army to handle.
The last Of the warships on special
duty in connection with the Cuban stu
alton was withdrawn fully three months
ago. Although there are two or three
cruisers and a gunboat or two at Ha-
vana, Guantanamo, and Santiago, 81 is
said at the Navy Department that their
presence there has no bearing on the
American occupation of the island.
This objection has not been made Of
flcially nor laid before Secretary Taft IN
any form, however. Just previous 10
the Secretary's departure on his West
Indian trip. March q. he was in con-
ference with Acting Secretary New
berry, Of the Navy Department. who
asked whether the marines were desired
any longer In Cuba. The Secretary re
piled that they could be dispensed with
after June /. Accordingly the order was
issued, and small numbfier OF the ma
rines returned. in squads. before the
stop order came.
Although Secretary Taft holds that
the Army Of Cuban PacihcatiOn has the
the situation well in hand, that internal
conditions are quiet, and there are no
indications OF any threatened outbreak.
he desires that the small force of ma
Iines be retained at g few Of the coast
garrisons rather than dispense with them
at the present time and replace them
with artillerymen sent from the States.
