tion offered by Mrs. Boole of New

"The victory of tlje fusion ticket In
New York City, which resulted In the

gained by the united efforts of good
people, but we learn, with regret, that
ome of the leaders are advocating

lhe motherhood of the nation, and vi

NO BOUNTY FOR VOLUNTEERS.
Report* to Tlii* Effect Are Entirely
Erroneous.
Washington, Nov. 20.—Statements
have recently been made in a number
of papers saying that a bounty was due
to many Spanish-Aroerican war volun
teers. Senator McLaurin has received
a number of letters asking about the
same. The following letter from the
auditor of the Treasury Department,
in reply to an inquiry, will .show up
foundation for such a report:
“A special dispatch was published in
several of the leading daily papers on
or about Sent. 29. 1901. in regard to an
alleged discovery of some old laws by
a Brooklyn lawyer, granting SB4 state
and $192 federal bounties to soldiers for
services In the recent Spanish-Ameri
can war, stating that it would coet the
ifctate about $2,000,000 and the federal
government about $5,000,000. It was
also alleged that some thousands of
cases were before Attorney General
Knox at Washington for his decision,
and that the matter is expected to be
settled In about ten days.
"This dispatch is very vague, and so
far as the United States is concerned,
is incorrect and misleading. No such
cases are before the Attorney General
of the United States for his action or
decision.
"Furthermore, no law has ever been
passed by Congress, granting any
bounties whatever to any soldiers for
service In the late Spanish-American
war of 1898 and 1899. Certain laws
were passed giving extra pay to such
soldiers in certain cases, in lieu of a
furlough or leave of absence. But in
nearly all of such cases the soldiers
who were entitled to such pay have
been paid it.
“It is only necessary to say in con
clusion that there is no foundation
whatever for any such statements as
set forth in said dispatch, so far as
the United States are concerned, and it
is hoiked that those interested In this
matter will not be induced to make
useless inquiries or file worthless
claims on account of such misrepresen
tation.” _
TO USE UNFERMENTED WINK.
Virginia Metlorti*t Minister* May
Still tse Tobacco.
Newport News, Va., Nov. 20.—The
Mothodist conferenee of Virginia ap
proved to-day two memorials asking
that unfermented wine be used at com
muninon. The conference refused to
approve the memorial which designed
that no minister using tobacco be ad
mitted to the conference, and that a
minister admitted and afterwards tak
ing up the use of tobacco be treated
as having violated his ordination vows.
The board on publishing interests
reported that the report of Barbee and
Smith, general publishers, is inad
equate to enable the conference to
form an opinion. The board recom
mended that no opinion be expressed
by the conference. .
The Publisher* Censured.
The memorial calling for censure of
Barbee and Smith, general conference
publishers, and for returning to the
United States government the money
received from the "war claim,” was
unanimously adopted at the afternoon
session. Memorials were also ap
proved providing against admission to
the church of those divorced on any
but Scriptural grounds; providing for
the order of deaconnesses; providing
for codification.

Krlst’s crime was the murder of his
sweetheart, Katie Tobin, at Waverly.
Tioga county, April 7 of last year. He
had separated from his wife and had
become addicted to drink. He was
then 30 years old, his victim being ten
years younger. The girl having re
fused to receive his attentions, he
lodged a complaint against her for
theft and then lay in wait at a hotel
to intercept her as 'she passed to the
Justice's office. Fortified with several
drinks, he rushed from the hotel as
his victim and her sister appeared, and
fired several shots at her from a re
volver. She fell dead.

PREPARING FOR CONGRESS.
THE CORPORATION LOBBY ON
HAND IN FORCE.
Will Make Short Work of Surplus.
Hanna and His Friends Will At
tend io That—No Opposition to
Henderson us Speaker of the
House—Appropriation Bills to Be
Rushed Through Early—Mueh Im
portant Business to Come Before
This Session.
Washington, Nov. 20.—Politicians,
who are assembling in Washington to
attend the opening of the Fifty-sev
enth Congress, but two weeks off, pre
dict an exceedingly busy and interest
ing session. With a large and healthy
surplus in the treasury, there is a dis
position on the part of incoming con
gressmen to deal liberally with the
public expenditures. Nearly all of the
great interests, looking for congress
ional aid. sometimes designated by the
less popular term—the lobby—are in
evidence and are prepared for a long
and industrious campaign. They seem
to take special comfort In the remark,
playfully made by Senator Hanna a
few days ago, speaking of the growing
surplus in the treasury, when suggest
ed that “he could help Secretary Gage
to get rid of some of the surplus,"
there was a merry twinkle in his eye
which suggested that his thought
might hav.e been upon the ship-subsidy
bill.
Although the convening of anew
Congress is but fourteen days away,
there is a lack of political excitement,
which usually attaches to the birth
of anew Congress. There is no con
test over the speakership, either by the
majority or the minority. Gen. Hen
derson of lowa is to have no opposi
tion in the Republican caucus, not
withstanding the rumor that he might
be deposed, which was circulated dur
ing the closing hours of the last Con
gress because of certain acts on his
part, which offended several leaders
of his party. The long recess has
brushed opposition aside, and he will
have a walkover. So confident is he
that he is already engaged in study
ing over the list of committees, so that
such changes as may be necessary may
be announced in the early hours of
the session, and thus expedite the
work cut out for the new Congress.
Under ordinary circumstances, anew
Congress seldom gets its organization
in good working order before the
Christmas holidays. This year it is
expected that several of the annual
appropriation bills will be prepared, re
ported, and acted upon In the House
of Representatives before the holiday
season arrives. Gen. Henderson. Rep
resentatives Cannon, Dalzell, Payne,
Hephurn, Hitt, and other recognized
leaders on the Republican side of the
House all agree that the coming ses
sion will have many questions of do
mestic and foreign Importance to con
sider, and the question will not be so
much as to what legislation shall be
placed upon the statute books, but
what legislation shall be prevented for
the general welfare of the government.
On the Democratic side, the minority
will have no friction over naming the
man for the empty honor of candidate
for Speaker. Representative Richard
son of Tennessee, will be the caucus
nominee of his party which carries
with it the distinction of being the rec
ognized floor leader of the Democratic
forces.
In the Senate all speculation over the
probable adoption of a cloture rule has
subsided since President Roosevelt
ceased to be presiding officer of that
distinguished and self-controlled body.
It is doubtful whether Mr. Roosevelt as
Vice President, would have been able
to tear down the time-honored tradi
tions and the practice of unlimited de
bate in the Senate, but it is understood
that it was his intention to try and
bring about a reform in that direction
had he not been unexpectedly elevated
to the presidency.
The Senate being a continuing body,
will resume business at the old stand,
with Senator Frye of Maine president
pro tempore, he having been elected
prior to the adjournment of the last
session. The Senate selects its own
committees. In accordance with the
suggestion made by the caucus com
mittees of the two parties. At the
coming session, there will be but two
parties represented in that body. All
the free silver Republicans and Popu
lists, who remain, will go into caucus
with the Democrats, and thus swell the
small minority to that extent. It will
teem strange to see well-known sena
tors like Teller of Colorado, and Du
bois of lowa, who have previously
figured as active and aggressive Re
publican partisans, located on the
Democratic, side of the chamber and
going into caucus with Democrats.
Just where Senator Wellington of
Maryland will land during the remain
der of hie term, no one seems to know
or care. The Republicans will not al
low him to caucus with them, and the
Democrats have no further use for him,
hence he will have an opportunity to
have a little caucus of his own as of
ten and whenever he likes.

BAD BLOOD AT JACKSONVILLE.
Fakirs Are Mad. So Are the Fair
People and So Is tile Gala Week
Crowd.
Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 20. —While
the State Fair is progressing satisfac
torily as far as the gate receipts and
exhibits are concerned, much bad feel
ing has been generated by an alleged
breach of faith on the part of the fair
managers regarding tent attractions
and side show features. The fact that
the streets of Jacksonville have been
practically given over to midway shows
and exhibitions of various kinds has
caused a howl on the part of the show
men and fakirs who have paid round
sums for the privilege of exhibiting In
side, the fair grounds. They feel that
they have been defrauded and are
much incensed over the matter as their
receipts have been materially affected
thereby.
Asa matter of fact the Fair man
agers are not to blame, but the ap
pearance of the street shows is said to
be the outcome of a feud between the
officials of the Gala Week Association
and the Fair managers. It seems that
the Gala Week Association has, by its
charter, a right to one week s use of
the streets for exhibition purposes,
and are, by their charter, obliged to
utilize their privilege in order to main
tain the charter. The decision on the
part of the Fair Association to hold
the Fair here precluded the holding of
a gala week also in the minds of some
of the members of the Gala Week Com
mittee. A disagreement on this prop
osition resulted in the resignation of
Fire Chief Haney, one of the active
members some monjhs since. George
L. Bahl, president of the Gala Week
Association, was in favor of holding
a. carnival, and while the State Fair
people were aware that a few shows
would be opened, it is claimed that the
show business on down town streets
has been largely in excess of an al
leged agreement with the gaia week
people. inis Mtt Bahl denl'-s, and
claims that the Fair managers are at
fault. *
A daily newspaper interested in the
Fair Association has made a savage
attack on the street shows as immoral,
and has succeeded in having at least
one show closed by the police. The re
sult has been a deal of bad blood over
the matter.
The State Society of Christian En
deavor Associations will meet in con
vention at the Fair grounds to-morrow
at 10 a. m.
STREET CAR COMPANY SUFFERS.
Jacksonville Negroes Boycott Cars
Because of Separation Ordinance.
Jacksonville. Fla., Nov. 20.—C. B.
Benedict, a member of the City Coun
cil and one of the leading merchants In
this city, has introduced an ordinance
to repeal the ordinance recently passed
to clothe the street car motormen and
conductors with police powers to en
able them to properly separate white
and colored passengers when condi
tions seem to require it. The ordinance
met with strenuous opposition from
the colored people, and a boycott has
been successfully enforced against the
street car company. The colored pop
ulation on whom the company depend
ed for a large share of its revenue,
have ceased riding on the cars and
there has just been incorporated a
coach company with a capital stock of
$2,000 for the purpose of equipping a
line of coaches to Operate in this city,
for the exclusive purpose of carrying
colored passengers at a rate similar to
that charged by the street car com
pany.
While there has been but compara
tively little violence, the determination
on the part of the negroes has had
an effect not only on the car traffic,
but on business as well. Some of the
leading colored men claim that they
would not seriously oppose an ordi
nance which would demand separate
cars, but to give conductors and mo
tormen police powers and allow them
to forcibly eject persons occupying a
certain seat in a car to make room
for another is sure to bring about ra
cial disturbances, which can only
eventually be disastrous to the negro.
Everything is quiet here, but the situ
ation is a serious one to the street
railway company, and may result in
trouble at some future time. Mr. Ben
edict has taken a bold step in the In
troduction of a repeal ordinance.
HUNTERS AND JUMPERS.
New Yorkers See Some Fiae Work
Over llnrdles.
New York, Nov. 20. —The hunters
and Jumpers, Shetiands. trotting stal
lions and roadsters divided the inter
est and shared the honors at the horse
show to-day. The morning crowd was
larger than usual and the spectacular
performance of the jumpers which were
sent over six successive hurdles each
five feet was probably the special at
traction. There were 27 entries in that
class and after them came a big band
of horses suitable to become hunters.
The Shetiands > followed them, with
four classes shown, and after them
were the trotting stallions.
George P. Wetmore and John G.

EASY FOOD,
Ready for Instant Use WHhnnt
Cooking.
Almost everyone likes a cereal food
of some kind at breakfast and supper,
but the ordinary way of cooking
cereals results In a pasty mass that re
quires strong digestive power to get
along with, and If not properly digest
ed, the raw mass goes down into the
intestinal tract where gas is generated
and all sorts of troubles set up.
Everyone knows that good food prop
erly digested keeps the body well,
w'hile poor food, or even food of good
quality that is poorly prepared and not
digested, is sure to bring on some kind
of disease.
The easiest food to digest in this line
is Grape-Nuts, made from wheat and
barley, and cooked thoroughly at the
factory, some ten or twelve hours be
ing consumed in the different processes
of preparation. The food, therefore. Is
ready for instant service and the starch
has been changed to Grape Sugar, so
that It is pre-dlgested and ready for
almost immediate assimilation.
Miss R. E. Phillips, a young lady at
3*56 Vernon Ave., Chicago, writes that
she suffered for years from Indigestion
and dyspepsia from the use of food
that was not suitable to her powers
of digestion.
Uhe says. “I began using Grape-
Nuts, and I confess to having had a
prejudice, at first, and was repeatedly
urged before I finally decided to try
the food, but I have not known whet

Washington, Nov. 20.—At a few
minutes past 3 o'clock to-day the jury
which is to try Mrs. Ida Bonine on
the charge of murdering James Sey
mour Ayres. Jr., the young census
clerk, was completed, and the court
then adjourned until 10 o’clock to-mor
row, when a presentation of the case
on behalf of the government will be
made by the district attorney.
Mr. Douglass, representing Mrs. Bo
nine, said after the court adjourned
to-day that he would reserve his op*n
ing until after all the witnesses for the
prosecution had been heard. It Is ex
pected, therefore, that the taking of
testimony will begin during the fore
noon session to-morrow.
The entire time of the court to-day
was given up to the completion of the
jury, and it was after 2 o'clock before
a single additional acceptable juror had
been secured. AH told, thirty-nine
talesmen were presented during tht
day and out of this number only three
were accepted, nine of those left In the
jury box yesterday being retained. The
proceedings consisted of a dreary
round of questions intended to develop
the mental attitude of the would-be
jurors on the questions.of capital pun
ishment. circumstantial evidence and
prejudice for or against the defendant.
As on yesterday a number of negroes
-were ctll of t hem were fix* -
cused, either for oause or upon the per
emptory challenge of Mm. Bourne's
lawyers. One of these created a ripple
of laughter in the courtroom by stalling
in repily to questions that notwith
standing Washington was his place of
residence he had been allowed to vote
In Maryland in the presidential elec
tion of last fall, IR-tng temporarily em
ployed in that state.
Mrs. Bonine joined quietly in the
manifestations of amusement. When
the juror Was permitted to take his
seat her counsel challenged him and
he was excused.
During the day Judge Anderson di
rected that the names of two of the
men called for jury duty be taken
permanently from the jury box because,
he said, the men evidently were unfit
for jury duty. One of these was a
white man, who said that he had
reached a conclusion as to the merits
of the case, and the other a negro,
who appeared very ignorant of all
questions. Quite a number of the men
called expressed themselves as opposed
to capital punishment. Probably half
a dozen stated that they were opposed
to the execution of women. The de
fense used only eleven arbitrary chal
lenges, leaving nine of the number al
lotted to them unused.
The jury as finally agreed upon is
composed as follows: John D. Robin
son, coal agent: Walter J. Fry. coach
man; W. P. Colley, hotel manager;
W. L. Koontz. coal dealer; G. B. Bury,
druggist; Cornelius J. Cartnody. gro
cer: H. K. Armstrong, awning maker;
Thomas F. Keane, carriage maker:
George W. Thomas, carpenter; Andrew
J. Beyer, truck farmer; Charles Hum

carpenter.
THE COST NOT SO GREAT.
Admiral Srlilry Modestly Drrlinrii
Financial Assistance.
Knoxville. Tenn.. Nov. 20.— Following
the report that the court of inquiry
would cost Admiral Schley $20,000, the
Knoxville Sentinel, on Nov. 18, sent
the admiral a dispatch asking if he
would consent to public subscriptions
to pay the amount. the Senti
nel received a personal letter from
Admiral Schley, the purport of which
was that he cannot accept the offer.
He says the report as to the cost is
a mistake, as the amount is not so
great. He suggests that the matter is
“too delicate to discuss,” and trusts
that his friends will “appreciate his
position and respect it."

J - Hartman, Peruna has become of world
wide fame. Asa specific for all diseases of the mucous membranes it cures
many diseases not commonly recognized as catarrh. ■
A DOCTOR’S PHIfAMHHOPHV.
Tlioufeu ndn of Chronic Catarrh Pa -
(lent* 1 mlcr Free Treatment.
Wherever Dr. Hartman is known
the naane of Peruna litis become a
household word. It Is safe to say that
no medicine in existence is used by
so many families as Peruna. This is
especially true of this time of the year
when the people are liable to catarrhal
affections, coughs, colds, la grappe,
etc.
Peruna has cured more cases of
chronic catarrh than all other medi
cines combined. The great majority of
those who use it buy the remedy them
selves, use it according to directions,
not even reporting their case to Dr.
Hartman until after they are entire
ly cured.
But now that a limited number of
cases can secure the personal attention
of Dr. Hartman free of charge. It is
not to be wonde/’ed at that many prefer
to do so. Peruna never fails to cuie
catarrh when properly used.

THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY.
1 raster* Make Statement ■* to Dis
charge of Dr. Henebry.
Washington. Nov. 20,—A notable as
semblage of high Catholic prelates at
tended the annual meeting o-f the board
of trustees of the Catholic University
to-day. A feature of the proceedings,
which were secret, was the discussion
of Dr. Henebrv, who was dismissed re
cently from the Gaelic chair of the
university, and iwhose ease attracted
widespread attention.
The board authorized the following
statement relative to Henebry:
“The most careful consideration was
given to the recommendations of the
university faculty and senate relative
to Rev. Dr. Henebry's reappointment
as associate professor in Gaelic. The
beard of trustees unanimously declined
to reappoint him. With equal unani
mity it declared its Intention of hold
ing sacred the trust committed to it
by the Ancient Order of Hibernians
and yields to no body of men In its
conscientious Interest in all the pur
poses of this endowment. No thought,
of diverting the. earnings of the
A. O. H. chair to any oth
er teaching than that of Gaelic
has ever been or ever can be enter
tained. The Right Reverend Rector
was Instructed to make every effort to
secure, as **oon as possible, an instruc
tor in. Gaelic, who shall be engaged
until such a time as a regular profes
sor may be fully equipped for the work,
to whioh he will entirely devote his
time.”
The treasurer reported the trust
funds of the University at $876,688, the
permanent properties of the University
aggregate $863,879, and the assets of
the University as $131,874, making a
total of $1,871,937. The total receipts
during the year amounted to $160,511,
and the disbursements were $157,569.
TO ELECT BOER COLONEL.
Hot Time* iu Galway and Prisons
Are Overflowing.
Dublin. Nov. 20.—1 t is now regarded
as certain that Coi. Arthur Lynch will
succeed in the parliamentary contest
in Galway, whore .he is opposed by
Horace Plunkett, Unionist, in spite of
the fact that he claims to rank as a
oolonel in the Boer army, and if he sets
foot on the soil of Great Britain he will
be arrested and sent to South Africa
for trial.
The bad weather has tended to cool
the election animosities, but there was
considerable disorder again to-day
which kept a large force of police busy.
There were continual calls upon the
police to prevent or suppress conflicts.
The prisons are overflowing with ar
rested persons and it was a common
sight 10-day to see people walking
about with bandaged beads.

tions for Fori)-Eight Tears.
Front Leslie's Weekly.
These figures represent the total
transactions of the New York Clear
ing House during the forty-eight years
of Its existence, ending Sept. 30, 1901.
It is difficult to grasp the real mean
ing of such a sum of money—a million
and a half millions—a thousand and
a half billions; It Is more than three
times the wealth of the whole world,
and would pay the world's debts forty
times over. This money, if in $1 bills
and placed lengthwise, would extend
10.689,708.781.605 inches, or 56,287,941
miles, and would girdle the earth 2,278
time#, ot- reach to the ntoon and hack,
even if it were 100 times farther awav
than its real distance of 238,850 miles.
Or, if made into a quilt, it would en
tirely cover the state of New Jersey
or the state of Massachusetts.
In silver dollars, placed one above
another, it would reach 950,000 miles,
or four times as high as the moon.
Placed side by side, they would reach
11.400,000 miles, or 460 times around the
earth.
In gold it would make 68,954.741,373
fine ounces at the present price of
$20.67 per fine ounces, or 75,653,694,500
ounces avoirdupois, or 6,304,474,542
pounds, or 3,152,237 tons. It would
measure one solid block of 3,928.021
cubic feet of gold.
It is SB9O per capita for the present
inhabitants of the earth. $18,510 per
capita for the Inhabitants of the Unit
ed States, or $407,229 per capita for the
inhabitants of New York city, where
the transactions took place.
Nearly two-thirds of these clearances
and balances have been within tho
past twenty years, and nearly one
third within the past ten years, th*>
transactions for 1901 being fifteen
times as large as forty-eight years ago
The clearings of New York are about
two-thirds those of the whole United
States, and twice those of London, and
yet these enormous transactions are
conducted withoui the handling of
more than 2 per cent. of actual money.
By . means of checks and credits daily
balances are struck and settled, and
to the absolute correctness of a cent.
What engineering feat, what electrical
accomplishment, what Invention of ne
cessity or luxury cam compare with it?
