HOMES SWEPT AWAY Hundreds of People ( Around New York Victims of Flood. Mnny Dwelling Have CollniHO(t nncl the Loss "Will Do Mllllunii of Dollars Klvors tho Highest Kvcr ; Known. Patcrson, N. J., Oct. 12. Flood con ations at Paterson Improved but lit Vfele throughout Saturday night. Early yesterday morning saw tho wators at their maximum and, although tho dan ger to llfo and property still Is great, there, was a general feeling of relief yesterday becauso of tho fact that sov jral of tho bigger retaining walls and water gates had been able to withstand tho rush of tho flood. Throughout tho day hundreds of men under tho super intendence of Mayor Hfnchcllffo were at work strengthening these walls and gates. Scores of persons wero rescued from their homes. A great many dwelling houses collapsed and many ! more aro ready to collapse, but It Is 1 believed that there has been little loss of life. Thousands of men, women and children will be out of employment for a long time and it seems altogether probable that this flood will cause to the city of Paterson a greater direct loss of money and property than tho llro of nearly two years ago. The . gross loss then was $0,000,000 with an insurance of more than $4,000,000. Flvo hundred families are homeless. Of theso about 15fr families aro being sheltered In the Apollo hall, whllo the others will be taken care of in tho armory. At Schenectnil7 tU Houses Collnpnerl. Schenectady, N. Y., Oct. 11.

Tho north east gale that has raged over this re gion sinco Thursday last night prac tically spent its power, but for miles along the Virginia coast the beach is littered with wreckage and through out tills entire section of tho country devastation lies in the wako of the storm. Highest for Si) Years. Albany, N. Y Oct 11. The rainfall of 4.69 inches, unparalleled in tho 2 years' records of tho local weather office, has been followed by a flood also 'unprecedented at this season, which reached its height with a maximum of 15.05 feet above mean low water mark.

ADMIRAL SCHLEY ENDOR Pevuna Drug Co., Columbus, Ohio: Gentlemen: I can cheerfully say that Mrs. Schley has, taken Pe rttna and I believe with good effect.9 -VK S. SCHLEY Washington, D. C. PE-RU-NA ADMIRAL SCHLEY, one of the foremost, notable lierocs of the Nineteenth Century. A name that starts terror in the heart of every Spaniard. A man of steady nerve, clear head, un daunted courage and prompt decision. Approached by a friend recently, his opinion was asked as- to the efficacy of Peruna, the national catarrh remedy. Without the slightest hesitation lie gave this remedy his endorsement. It appeared on later conversation that Peruna has been, used in his family, where it is a favorite remedy. Such endorsements serve to indicate the wonderful hold that Peruna has upon the minds of the American people. It is out of the question that so great and famous a man as Admiral Schley could have any other reason for giving his endorsement to Peruna than his positive conviction that the ' remedy is all that he says it is. The fact is Peruna has overcome all opposition and has won its; way to the hearts of the people. The natural timidity which so many people have felt about giving endorsements to any remedy is giving way. Gratitude and a desire to help others has inspired, thousands of people to give public testimonials for Peruna who heretofore would not have consented to such publicity. Never before in the annals of medicine has it happened that so many men of national and international reputation have been willing to give unqualified and public endorsements to a proprietary remedy. No amount of advertising could have accomplished such a result. Peruna has won on its own merits. Peruna cures catarrh of whatever phase or location in the human body. This is why it receives so many notable and unique endorsements. Address The Peruna Drug MTgCo., Columbus, Ohio, for free literature on catarrh. HONORS WERE EVEN. Although the Attorney Itnn Some, vrhut of n Kink In llctnllnt luyr ' on the JuUffc. John It. Kldridge, a well known western New York attorney, recently had occasion to argue u case before a justice of the peace in one of the small towns near Rochester. It happened that Mr. Eldridjjc and tho justice belonged to different political parties, had' been opposed to each other in several contests and were far from being on the best personal terms. Each, to use a slang expres sion, "had it in for the other." The justice scored the first point, 6ays the New- York Herald. In u field near the court room a donkey was feeding. Just as Mr. Kldridge was in the midst of hi pica something disturbed the animal and it broke forth with a re&onaut bray. ".fust a minute, Mr. Kldridge, jnt a min ute," said the justice blandly. "1 cannot hear two at once." The attorney was hard- hit. but he raid nothing .mid waited his turn. It came when the justice was explaining' a point of law to the jury. Again the biay of the donkey re funded through the court room. Mr. Kl dridge placed his hand at his ear. "Would vou mind rene-atimr that, vour lionor?" he said in hisinildest tone. "Ihere was such an echo that i could not under stand." !" l'erhap the attorney was guilty of con ! tempt of court, but the general opinion in the court room seemed to be that honors were about even. Still Another Cnne. Franksville, Wis., Oct. 12th. Many re markable cures have been reported from all over tne country,but there is one right here in Krauksville which is certainly worth pub lishing, and which has not as yet been given to the public. Mrs. Louis Marlcison of this place had been i sick woman for ju;te a long time and could not iind anything to give her any help. She raffcred all the painful symptoms of what is generally known ae female weakness. Every woman' who reads her story will under itaim these distressing conditions which :ombin 'o make the lives of many women one lonj, iiurden of vreakncsvn.idsuifcring. Mrs. Markison chanced one day toihear of a new remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills, ihat was said to be a splendid medicine for women's weakness. She determined to try some and soon found herself getting better. She kept on with the pills and was cured. Speaking of her case Mrs-. Mcrkison say: "I can and do praise Dodd's Kidney Pills is n remedy for female weakness. They are the best medicine 1 have ever known, and have done inc a great deal of good." Meanrnt Mini. The meanest man in Illinois lives at Cen tralia. He put a large porcelain egg in the neat of an ambitious hen and found that the eggt) she had afterward laid were increased in size. Then he put a goose egg in the nest; the aforesuid hen laid an egg just as large, lie was so pleas-ed with thetvneme that lie put a whitewashed football in the nest and awaited- results. When he wtnt the next time to search for eggs he found one as high as a football, but no lien in sight. Securing the egg, he taw engraved on it by the hen photography these words: "I'm no ostrich, put I have done my best." Later hp found the hen inside of the egg. Leaf lliver (111.)

Dallawi International Live Stock Imposition. Chicago is beginning to consider means-for making the International Live Stock Expo sition, to be held this fall, better than any ever held. Over $33,000,000 of live rtock was handled at the Union Stock Yards last year, almost three hundred thousand carloads of live stock being received at the Chicago mar ket during this period. This makes the city oue of the greatest live -stock centers in the world. The International Live Stock Exposition has been an educational agency of the great est value to those who have visited'the show in recent years from the cattle ramies and feeding grounds of the west. These sources of supply are placed within eaf-y reach of the city by Mich trunk lines of railway as the Chicago &. North-Western, which brings to Chicago each year 70.000 carloads of live stock, raided and fed in the territory it reaches. The people living in this rich agri cultural region, tributary to Chicago, aro evincing each year more interest in the bet terment of their stock. The exhibition at the ITnitm Stock Yard? during the Interna tional Exposition this fall will be one of the mtwt notable ever seen, and its chief value will be along educational lines, looking to tlic improving of breeds and raising of standards, which means just so much more money in the pockets of the producer. Full particulars ns to the program of tho International together with announcement of low railway rates via The North-Western Lino will appear later. Mrs. Ascuni "Your boy is at college now, eh?
