4 CURRENT (TIMS. Sir William Pearoe Holand, once pontraaster general and Usance mlals tor under the upper and tower Caaad lan union and later lieutenant govern or of Ontario, is dead. If was N yearn old. With a blew of his flit, Charles Smith of East St. Louts killed D. P. Myers on the street. Then realizing what he had done , Smith escaped. Mrs. Smith told her husband that My ers had attempted to Ilrt with her on the street. This so angered Smith that he accosted Myers and struck him a swinging blow on the Jaw. Myers dropped and never moved. His neck had been broken. Smith is 27 years old and MyerB was 40. - it As an appreciation of faithful ser vice, 1,000 men employed by the Tole do JRailway and Light company and the Mauhieo Valley Railways and Light company, including about 900 rnotormen and conductors, received a Now Year's gift in tho shape of a raise of wa?c2, The increase was voluntarj on thb part of both companies. If af fects Ml classes of employes and aver ages tro cents an hour. It means an additional $5,000 monthly expenditure. The street car men were not union men and no demand had been made upon tho companies. ir Congressional inquiry into the Pow der trust, of which Senator Dupont ot Delaware is considered the head, not withstanding his resignation as the president of the Dupont powder works, Beenis to be inevitable. The immedi ate cause will be the charges Just pre ferred against tho trust by Robert S. Wnddell of Peoria, 111., who alleges that the government is mulched in the sum of 3 million dollars each year by the Pqwder trust. This is the same trust which charges the miners of Crawford and Cherokee counties, Kansas, $1.35 a keg for the same blasting powder for which it charges eighty-five cents a keg in Liverpool. lit In the final report of tht prison board of control of Mississippi the warden, J. J. Henry? makes a charge of grafting against Governor Var dam an, fie admits that the chief execu tive had horses for his private u3 shipped at the expense of the state in the same cars with state horses; that the governor worked convicts for his personal use around the executive mansion after declaring that he con sidered like action by his predecessors In office a form of dishonesty. The report is strongly denunciatory throughout and forms a sensational climax to disagreements between tho governor and the prison management. New Year's reception to Archbishop Ryan at Philadelphia, was made nota ble by a scathing arraignment by the Archbishop of the French govern ment's treatment of tho Catholic church. Denouncing the officials of the presceU government as infidels worse than pagans, the archbishop ex pressed the hope that a religious awakening in France would soon over throw the oppressors of the Christian religion. "These infidels are worse than pagans. The pagan believes in God and a hereafter where the good are rewarded, but thd infidel does not. Pagans have some virtues mixed with their vices, hut the modern infidel has all th evices wothout any of the re deeming virtues of a pagan." ir The first paper served, on the' new attorney general, of New York, Mr. Jackson, was an application for a rc ' irgument on tho petition of William Randoph Hearst for leave to begin quo warranto proceedings to test the title of George B. McClellan to tho "of fice of mayor of New York. Mr. Hearst contends that he was deprived f the office by fraud and violence in the election of 1905. The application Med with the attorney genera! reiter ates substantially the allegations Aade before his predecessor, Mr. Ma yer. Further, It recites the develop Beats of the case before the latter and? ummarizes his decision denying re lief, declaring that Mr. Mayer well knew that the prima facie proof of Mr. Hearst's election could not be forth coming without opening the boxes. "What is viler than the Bmell of llq our?" asked an Indiana lecturer. The gentleman has probably never heard (t lalk. -Houston Post .The Little Thin ef Drese and Fash len. Muff ehatna are exceedingly popular again and Just among the set that were almost tho first to discard these useful as well as ornamental things a few short seasons ago. The little loop of cord that the furrier tacks Into one side of tho muff is supposed to be slipped on the wrist, and so keep tho muff chained to its wearer. But, like so many other plans of mice and men, it went astray. Since its Introduction more muffs bavo been lost and mislaid than ever before, and so tho muff chain 1b back again, and, need ono say, more elaborate than ever before? The Craze for Corals has proven a perfect godsend in some families. Those dear, delightful people who cling to the garret storeroom, whore all tho discarded finery of tho family is laid away out of sight, are bringing out the treasures of long ago, only to find them held in higher esteem today than they ever were. What even an antique dealer would not offer a five cent piece for u year or two ago will fetch almost any price today. r It is not the pale Indian corals that are in tho front rank Just now, albeit they are considered tho finest possible a few years back. It Ib the deep red Ceylon cornl that holds front rank at present, and tho deeper the color tho higher the price. A charming set seen at Tiffany's the other day was about the color of red sealing wax, and mounted in Etruscan gold," the effect was delightful. They Say That with all the fashions of our grandmothers, earrings are back again. Of course, one does not refer by this to the ear studs or the fiat but tons that have been so popular for sometime in pearl and in turquoise. Rather it Is the long pendant kind with which we are threatened, and which are wont to make a dowdy old lady out of even the sauciest debutante that ever was. If 'tis true, 'tis pity, to par aphrase an old quotation for tho ear rings of the long pendant variety could never, by any stretch of the imagina tion, be considered either ornamental or becoming. Even in their most artis tic aspect admitting that they have any at all they are not attractive, and their only excuse is that they are cost ly, and their making gives employ ment to artist artisans, who might oth erwise suffer for want of work. Among the Dainty things from France that exclusive shops Import are the prettiest of lingerie covers for al most everything in use in the bedroom and boudoir .This column has taken note long ago of the fad for lingerie pillow covers, not intended to supplant) the handsome embroidered silks and satins, but of such transparent batiste, and linen ones slipped on over the handsome silk ones, displaying all the beauty of the work, while offering a dainty and adequate protection. One house in New York takes orders for such covers to be slipped on over the exquisite silk and satin covered bed coverlets, that are filled with eith er lamb's wool or eiderdown. Since twenty dollars is a medium price fox those elegant luxuries, it well pays to have a sheer lingerie cover made that may be slipped on when desired. if- Although the Trend is toward the plain and severely tailored shirtwaist the kind that the tailor invariably re fers to as a shirt In neckwear, the tendency is exactly the opposite. Elab orate to a degree are , the collars, stocks, Jahots and whatnot that are, to top those same plain shirts. But in accord with present commonsense rules, those are to be fashionable from linens and batiste, and nothing! that will not withstand the- assaults of1 the laundress, her washtub and polish ing iron, is to be Uiought of for a mo ment. The simpler of real lacea, val.i enclennes, breton and such, are whip ped on for edges and as much fancy stitching as the maker knows or is capable of may be displayed on both choker, turnover and Jahot. fir Colored Materials are being used by good shirtwaist and blouse makers' more than the plain white that has held sway for so long. Charming strip ed effects appear In sheer linens, and open checks in china Bilk find favor, too. Front fastenings are another nov elty, and the appearance of a tiny pleated ruffle, laco edged, either side of thiB fastening is a novelty. Art should be an appeal to raan'i higher nature. WHAT IS PE-RU-NA? Is It a Catarrh Remedy, or a Tonic, or Is it Both? feme people call Peruua a great tenia Others refer to Feruna as a great catarrh remedy. Wnioh of these people are riht? Is it more proper to call Fernna a ca tarrh remedy than to call it a tonic? Oar reply is. that Feruna is both a tonic and a catarrh remedy. Indeed, there oan be no effectual catarrh rem edy that is not also a tonio. In order to thoroughly reliete any oast of eatarrh, a remedy must not only have a speciflo action on tht mu cous membranes affected by tho ca tarrh, but it must have a general tonio action on tho nervous system. Catarrh, oven in persons who art otherwise strong, is a weakened con dition of some mucous membrane. There must be something to strength en tht circulation, to give tone to tht arteries, and to raise the vital forces. Ftrhaps no vegetable remedy in tht world has attracted so much attention from medical writers as HYDRASTIS CANADENSIS. Tht wonderful effi cacy of this herb has been recognized many years, and is growing in its hold upon tht medical profession. When joined with CUBEBS and COPAIBA a trio of medical agents is formed in Fe runa which constitutes a speoifio rem edy for catarrh that in tht present state of medical progress cannot bt improved upon. This action, rein forced by such renowned tonics as C0LLINS0NIA CANADENSIS, COS YDALIS FORMOSA and CEDEON SEED, ought to make this compound an ideal remedy for catarrh in all its stages and locations in the body. ' From a theoretical standpoint, there fore, Feruna is boyond criticism. Tht use of Foruna, confirms this opinion. Numborless testimonials from every quarter of the earth furnish ample evidence that this judgment is not over enthusiastic. When praotical ex perience confirms a well-grounded the ory the result is a truth that cannot bt shaken. M. Marie Pierre Felix Janet, profes sor of experimental psychology in the University of Paris ,who is now travel ing and lecturing in the United States figures in the public mind as a hyp notist. As a matter of fact, this is only incidentally, but he is trying to dem onstrate that the victim of hysteria is at the same time two different persons. 724 The great January Sale is now in progress.

Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they 'cannot reach tho diseased portion of the ear. There is only ono way to cure deaf ness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an Inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed yo.i have a rumb ling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and unless the inflamma tion can be taken out and this tutt restored to its normal condition, hear ing will be destroyed forever; niat ceses out of ten are caused by Catarra which is nothing but an Inflamed eoav dltlon of the mucous surfaces.
