Anniversary of Birth of First Presi-
dent Observed in Chicago.
Ex-President Cleveland Dwell Upon
Soundness OF his Political Faith
And Accuracy Of His Wisdom.

Chicago, Feb. 23-The anniversary
of the birth of George Washington
was generally observed here Friday
The majority of the downtown bust
ness houses were closed during the
greater part of the day and the board
of trade and the banks did not open.
The principal celebration Of the
day was in the hands of the Union
League club, which has for many
years made feature of patriotic exer-
cises on February 90. In the morn
ing exercises were held in the Audi
forum under the auspices of the club
at which President John H. Finley Of
the College of the City of New York,
was the principal speaker. Friday
evening a banquet was held at the
Union League Club house at which
Mr.. Cleveland, President Finley and
Richardson Watson Glider were the
chief speakers.
Ex-President Grover Cleveland was
the orator of the day at the celebra-
ton of the anniversary of the birth
of George Washington which is an
nually held under the auspices of the
Union League club of this city.
Mr.. Cleveland addressed an audi
ence which filled the great Auditor
ium, and his Grafton was greeted with
every manifestation of approval. He
dwelt less upon the history and
achievements of Washington than
upon the soundness of his
political faith, and the accuracy Of
his economic wisdom. The prosper
ity of the country will be, according
to the speaker, unbounded and imper:
ishable If the precepts of Washington
are actively recalled. and in general
closely followed.
Americans, are as rule, Mr. Cleve-
land, declared, too prone to lose sight
of the significance of the proper OBJ
servance of public holidays. The
Fourth oe July, he asserted, has de
generated to revel of senseless noise
and dangerous explosion, which bears
in its train far more of mishap and
accident than lessons of good citizen
ship or pride Of country.
The republic still has, he said, i'm
perative need of Washington, and his
example and teachings are as import
ant to the present generation, as his
labors and guidance were necessary
in his own time.

IN MEMORY or WASHINGTON U. S. DISPENSATORY
Describes the Principal Ingredients
Contained in Pe-ru-na.

Are we claiming too much for Peruna
when we claim it to be an effective
remedy for chronic catarrh? Have we
abundant proof that Peruna is in real
ity such catarrh remedy? Let us see
what the United States Dispensatory
says of the principal ingredients Of
Peruna.
Take, for instance, the ingredient
hydrastis canadensis, or golden seal.
The United States Dispensatory says
of this herbal remedy, that it is largely
employed in the treatment of depraved
mucous membranes, chronic rhinitis
(nasal catarrh), atomic dyspepsia lea
tarrh of the shomach), chronic intesti-
nal catarrh, catarrhal jaundice, (ca-
tarrh of the liver and in diseased
mucous membranes of the pelvic organs.
1t is also recommended for the treat
ment of various forms of diseases pc
culiar to women.
Another ingredient of Peruna, cory
dalis formosa, is classed in the United
States Dispensatory as tonic. So also
is cubebs classed as a stomachic and as
a tonic for the mucous membranes.
Cedron seeds is another ingredient of
Peruna, an excellent drug that has
been very largely overlooked by the
medical profession for the past fifty
years. The seeds are to be found in
very few drug stores. The United
States Dispensatory says of the action
of cedron that it is used as a bitter
tonic and in the treatment of dysentery,
and in intermittent diseases as a sub
stitute for quinine.
Oil of copaiba, another ingredient of
Peruna, is classed by the United States
Dispen satory as mild stimulant and
diuretic. 1t acts on the stomach and
intestinal tract. 1t acts as a stimu-
liant on the genito-urinary membranes.
Useful in chronic cystitis, chronic dys-
EMERY and diarrhea, and some chronic
diseases of the liver and kidneys.
Send to us for free book of testimo-
mails of what the people think of Pc
runa as a catarrh remedy. The best
evidence is the testimony of those who
have tried it.

A CHICAGO Woman Shoots.

Chicago, Feb. 22.-Webster H..
Guerin, alias Louis Fisher and pro-
prietor of the Harrison Art company,
was Thursday shot and killed in his
office in the Omaha building at La
Sale and Van Buren, streets by Mrs.
Flora Mcdonald, wife of Michael c.
Mcdonald, millionaire, who was for
many years the democratic political
boss" of Chicago. The motive for
the killing is not exactly known. Mrs.
Mcdonald became hysterical immedi-
ately after the shooting and has gone
hopelessly insane, according to ply
sicians attending her.

another in a way that baffled any at
tempt to tell how far he had progressed
with his attack. He apparently in
tends to take every advantage of the
ruling of Tuesday which allows him
wide latitude in testing the credibility
of the witness.
Mr.. Delmas, contrary to expecta-
tions, interposed few objections. He
is evidently preparing, however, for
an extended redirect examination and
this, together with Mr.. Jeromes cross
examination on the redirect, promises
to keep the prisoners wife on the
witness stand for an indefinite period.
New York, Feb. 22.-Under the stress
of a cross-examination in which Dis
trict Attorney Jerome gave no quarter,
Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw broke down
Thursday upon the witness stand.
With binding tears burning their way
down cheeks which from ashen white
had flushed to crimson, she admitted
that after her first experience with
Stanford White her relations with the
architect continued several months.
There were other confessions, also,
which while damaging to her own
character, accentuated all the more
the terrible personal sacrifice she Is
making in the effort to save her hus-
band from the electric chair. The
case has progressed to the point where
the defendant has been all but lost
sight of. His girl like wife is the
figure about whom the storm lashes
She it is whose life is being searched
out and who is being held up to scorn
by the prosecuting officer.
Thaw, his face buried in his hands,
might easily have been out of the
courtroom picture Thursday and none
would have missed him. All eyes were
upon the witness chair and the slight
figure in blue which occupied it. Dur
ing the day and at all times heretofore
Mrs. Thaw has had to sit on the edge
of the chair in order that her feet
might reach the floor. To make her
more comfortable for the long ordeal,
footstool and back cushion were
provided during the afternoon.
At the close of the most eventful
day. of the trial, Mr.. JEROME an
nounced that he probably would keep
Mrs. Thaw under fire for two more
days. Adjournment was taken until
Monday morning, although at one time
Justice Fitzgerald said that to accomo-
date outcf-town witnesses he would
hold court Friday and Saturday.
There was no subject affecting the
witness of so intimate nature that
the district attorney hesitated to
haul from its hiding place and hold it
before the gaze of the world, and all the
while requiring that she should recog-
nize and own the fault in her own
words.
When Mr.. Jerome was flaying Mrs.
Thaw with questions as to her relations
with White demanding to know every
detail, and while bitter tears were
yelling to her eyes, two newspaper
women accustomed to harsher scenes
of life hastily left the courtroom and
made a hasty retreat out of the big
portals

Hone TO Adjourn March 20.

Guthrie ok, Feb. 23.-The demo-
cratic leaders of the constitutional
convention expect to take adjourn
ment sine die on or about March 20.
To accomplish this the calendar
must necessarily be dealt with in a
most concise manner Among the
most important committees which
have made no report during the three
months session are those on educa-
ton, legislative and judicial appor
tionment, schedules, convention print
ing, public debts and public works

Disease Puzzles Doctors.

A mysterious disease is troubling
the Dutch medical profession. 1t has
broken out in the district of Ouddorp,
not far from Utrecht, and Prof.
Spronck, of Utrecht, after all the best
efforts he can devise, has had to con-
TESS himself perplexed. The disease,
is a contagious affection Of the heart,
and the patients invariably develop
high fever. There, have been more
than 100 cases. Prof. Spronck has
made a careful anlysis of blood taken
from patients, but has utterly failed
to find cause or an origin for the
epidemic

Deficiencies Were Less.

Washington, Feb. 22.-As a result
of the action of Chairman Tawney OF
the house appropriations committee
last year, in having the general def.
cheney bill so amended that it pro-
hibited heads of departments from
creating deficiencies without full ex-
plantations to congress and then only
in cases of extraordinary emergency
the amount of deficiencies for this
year will be only about $2,5O0,O0O as
against $50, 100000 last year.

SMOOTKEEPSSEAT
The Long Contest to Gust the Utah
Senator Fails by Vote
of AZ to %.
AWAKENED GREAT INTEREST
Resolution to Unseat Him Proposed
Before Adjournment Last Year
And Many Speeches Have
Been Made.

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Reed
Smoot retains his seat in the United
States Senate. This was decided
Wednesday by vote of AZ to 2S, end
ing long contest. Eighteen senators
were paired, making the actual stand
ing on the resolution 81 for and 81
against Senator Smoot did not vote,
and Senator Wetmore was absent and
not paired.
The Smoot resolution was called up
soon after the senate convened. Every
seat in the galleries was filled and
during the actual voting the standing
room on the floor of the senate was
crowded by members of the house
and employees of the senate. Seldom
had there been a proceeding affecting
the standing of senator that has at
tracted such marked attention. In
the audience were representatives of
q number of prominent women's or
ganizations which have been active
in circulating and having presented
petitions of remonstrance against Mr..
Smeot. These women secured many
thousand signatures to their petitions.
Although it was fore9one conclu-
sion that the resolution would fail
and thus end the long fight against
the Utah senator, the roll call con-
tanned somee surprises. OF the AZ
votes in favor of Mr. Smoot, three
we're cast by democrats. They were
Messrs. Blackburn, Clark of Montana,
and Daniel. Senator Teller was faired
in favor of Mr.. Smoot. OF the 2S
votes against Mr.. Smoot, nine were
republicans. They were Messrs. Bur-
rows, Clapp, DUPONT, Hale, Hans
brough, Hemenway, Kittredge, La
Toilette and Smith.
At the conclusion of the voting
there was a rush of republican SEN
ltors to the cloakroom to congratu-
late Mr.. Smoot. A large number OF
members of the house followed and
there the senior Utah senator was
patted on the back and his hands
were shaken in hearty fashion by the
men who expressed their admiration
Of his bearing in the long and trying
ordeal through which he has passed.
On the floor of the senate and in the
galleries it was many minutes before
order could be restored
Salt Lake, Feb. 21.-Among active
republicans and the leaders of the
Norman church there was great re-
joicing Wednesday afternoon when
the news came from Washington that
Senator Smoot had been sustained.
BY unanimous, standing vote the
lower house of the Utah legislature
adopted a joint resolution, which lat
er was introduced in the senate de-
claring that the united States SEN
ate had stood for constitutional
rights and avoided a dangerous pre-
rndnnt

WRECKED in SIGHT OF PORT
Mail Steamer Berlin Goes Down off
Holland Coast.
Of the 143 Persons on Board Only
One, a Passenger, Was
Saved.


aster for many years in the history of
the busy cross-channel traffic be-
tween England and the continent &C.
Cured during violent gale shortly
before o'clock Thursday morning,
when the Rotterdam mail steamer Ber-
lin. from Harwich, to Hook of Hol-
land, having safely weathered the
hurricane was wrecked as she was
entering port. With one single ex-
,ception all her passengers and crew,
numbering 143 persons, lost their
lives
The terrific seas broke up the
steamer with such awful suddenness
that all efforts to save life appear to
have been utterly hopeless. Late
Thursday night it was reported that
a few survivors were clinging to the
wreck, but as the heroic efforts all
day of the life boat crews had failed
to reach them little hope that they
will be saved remains.
No cause yet has been assigned for
the disaster and it probably never
will be known how the steamer came
TO miss the channel. 1t is conjectur-
ed that some arrangement of the en-
gines or steering gear may have rem
dered the vessel uncomfortable. Cap
tain Precious of the Berlin had a
good record of IA years service. The
list of passengers on the fated steam
er was lost and all the names of
those who were on board have not
yet been learned, but as far as has
been asecrtained there were no Amer
leans among them.
Hook OF Holland, Feb. 23.-Largely
as a result of the courage and deter
mination of Prince Henry of The
Netherlands, the prince consort, that
which Thursday night appeared 10
be an impossible task, has leen
achieved and the heroic and unflinch-
ing efforts of the Dutch life boat men
have succeeded in rescuing alive
eleven moro of the survivors of tn ILL
fated steamer Berlin.
The gallant life boat men were re-
warded after more than 80 hours of
hard and dangerous work. Buffeted
and driven hack time after time they
refused to relax their attempts to
rescue the handful of shipwreck1d
people and finally at half past o.
clock Friday afternoon the receding
tide and some improvement in the
weather having made the conditions
easier, their long fight was crowned
with success.
Although several Of the persons
rescued were in the last stages of ex-
haustion, they are on the road to re-
covery and some of them have been
able to tell of their awful experiences.
Two women and child were still on
board the wreck, but it is feared that
they are dying. Nothing daunted,
!lowver, the brave crew will continue
efforts for their rescue.

berry tree. The ladies of the house
came out about 2 o'clock and deco
rated the tree, with the assistance Of
some of the men. Even the men re-
quired stepladders to reach the top
most boughs. First, the ladies gave
them some artificial icicles. which they
hung on the branches in great profu-
sion. AS the sun was shining brightly
by this time, it gave the icicles very
glittering appearance, and the wind.
commencing to blow, shook them gen.
tly. making the illusion more perfect.
Then long bright ribbons of many col
ors were suspended from the topmost
limbs and fruit and candies tied on
with ribbons of the same color-or-
anges with orange ribbon, apples with
red ribbon, lines with green ribbon,
etc. Small toys were suspended from
the tree; large ones were at the base.
1t presented a very gorgeous spectacle,
and the sight of the happy children
