rittsbnrg, l'a., April 27. Harmo
nious fiction wus taken by the com
mittee on revision of the creed of the
Presbyterian church at its sessions
yesterday at the Monougnhcla house
and a unanimous report formulated
late in the afternoon for submission
to the general nsscmbly, which will
meet at Philadelphia May 10.
It was recommended that a com
mittee be instructed to prepare a
brief summary the reformed faith,
bearing the same relation to the con
fession which tho Bhorter catechism
bears to tho larger catechism. This
summary is not to be a substitute for
the confession and is not to affect
the terms of subscription, but "to
vindicate and clear the doctrines of
the church from all false aspersions
ond misconceptions" and to give a
better understanding of what 1b be
lieved among Presbyterians.
ODD FELLOWS CELEBRATE.
Missouri nml Kansas Members of tlio Tlirco
Links Commemorate tlio Founding
of Tlmlr Oritur.
Kansas City, Mo., April 27. Odd Fel
lows of Missouri and Kansas cele
brated the eighty-second unnlversary
of their order in Kansas City yester
day. Nearly 10,000 visiting members
were in the city. They came on carlj
trains, spent a day of varied enjoy
ment and went home late, tired and
satisfied. There were tally-ho rides, a
parade, a monster meeting in Conven
tion hall and a banquet at the Coatcs
house last night. The celebration was
the more notable on account of the
presence of A. C. Cable, grand sire of
the order in 15 countries, who ac
cepted the Kansas City invitation and
refused many other appeals for his
presence at large celebrations
throughout the United States.
GETS CONTROL OF TRADE.
Standard Oil TniHt Ituyn Up Tormlnnln,
AVlmrirft and 00,000 Acre of Land at
l'ort Arthur anil Vicinity.
Beaumont, Tex., April 27. The
Beaumont Oil exchange yesterday
posted the statement that the Stand
ard Oil company had purchased the
railroad terminals, wharves and ship
ping facilities at Port Arthur and 90,
000 acres of land surrounding the
port. Port Arthur is the nearest
deep-water port to the Beaumont oil
field, ond by controlling this outlet
the Standard Oil company can con
trol every barrel of oil taken from
the Beaumont field. Tho railroads
cannot compete in freight rates with
pipe lines and ship via Port Arthur tc
New Orleans and Galveston. Thus,
owning Port Arthur, the Standard Oil
company will control even the domeF
tic trade in crude oil.

Taris, April 27. All the daily papers

advertisement, signed by the distin
guished engineer, Philippe Bunau Vi
rilla, well known in the United States,
who himself contributes $400,000. The
appeal is based upon patriotic and
practical grounds. A cheerful and
hopeful effect has been produced in
Paris by this unexpected appeal.

seem probable."

THINGS OF WILLOW.
Whole ItooniN nro Flttoil Xowiulnyn
with 1M ne Furniture of
TIiIh .Material.
"Surely," said a willow worker, ac
cording to the New York Sun, "you are
quite right in considering articles of
willow among beautiful things. They
arc graceful and light, and at I he same
time substantial and durable.
"Things innde of willow finished In
the natural color of the wood look
cool and charming, and they have an
appearance of delightful freshness
Unit is found in no other material that
I know of. Of course the willow Is
delicate in Its whiteness, and in this
state it would in a season lose its first
velvety sort of freshness.
"But willow takes stains beautifully,
the tans and greens and other colors
that are most appropriate to it, and
willow furniture finished in these tints
is scarcely less pleasing to the eye
than that made of the material in its
original purity.
"Beeds, growing, as you know, of uni
form dimensions, can be prepared for
use in basket work largely by maelijn
cry, but this would not be true as to
willow. Machinery is used to rome ex
tent in preparing willow for use, as for
instance in cutting the surface strips
that nre plaited into table tops and
that sort of thing, but willow rods,
round willow, cannot be handled In
that manner. The rods are not uni
form In dimensions from end to end
they tnper; nor are the rods abso
lutely uniform In size with one an
other. These must all be worked by
hand. As a matter of fact, mnny strips,
too, nre still cut in that way. With
the materials for them thus prepared,
and cnrefully hand-wrought as they
are throughout, it would seem reason
able to describe these beautiful things
of willow as productions of art.
"Many baskets of one sort and an
other in the almost endless variety of
forms and manner of ornamentation
Into which basket work is put come
from Germany; but France is yet, nev
ertheless, as it has always been, the
home of the artistic in basket work.
Wc mnke, however, now, beautiful
things in basket work in this coun
try, and in articles of utility and things
of more or less practical character,
combining use with decoration or or
namental effects, wc make here things
quite as fine as are produced any
where; as in nil manner of willow fur
niture and fittings, nnd so on.
"All these things we produce in the
most grnceful style, and the most com
fortable shapes. Of course willow and
rattan chairs and that sort of thing
nre old, time-honored, but we mnke
them all now in greater variety than
formerly; we make a greater variety
of things than we did, and people go
in for these things more than ever,
more particularly, of course, in coun
try houses.
"Unttan has been more used for some
of these purposes; but now, again, we
use more willow; nnd there is nothing
but what can be made of this material.
It is easily possible to furnish n room
with it. We make bedsteads of wil
low, and, of course, an endless vn
riety of chairs and lounges and that
sort of thing, including tables. We
make willow buroaus and chiffoniers
nnd willow wall panels and picture
frames and willow chandeliers and gas
fixtures, and so on. In fact, in nil but
the floor coverings, for which mnt
tings nre used, we can furnish rooms
complete.
"And," said the willow man. In con
clusion, "while this might not be the
cheapest outfit you could buy, I don't
suppose you could find anything cooler,
more comfortable or more plensing to
the eye."

"I find Peruna
an excellent
spring an d
summer medi
al n c and am-
glad to call the J
intention oi
my friends to
it. When that
languid, tired
feeling comes
over you, nnd
your food no
longer tastes
good, and small
annoyances ir- i
rltntc you. Pe-
rutin will make
you feel like another person insido ot
a week. I have now used it for threo
seasons and find it very rellablo and
efficacious." Marie Coats.
Mrs. Al. Wetzel, 21 South 17th atrcot,
Tcrro Haute, Intl., writes:
"Peruna is the greatest medicine on
earth. I feel well and thut tired feel
ing Is nil gone. When I began to tnko
your medicine I could not smell nor
hear a church bell ring. Now I cn
smell and hear. When I began your
treatment my head wns terrible, all
sorts of buzzing, chirping and loud
noises. Three months ago I dragged
around like n snail; now I enn walk
as briskly as ever. I am going to go
and see the doctor that said I whs not
long for this world, and tell him that
Peruna cured me." Mrs. Al. Wetzel.
If nil the tired women nnd nil the;
nervous women, and all tho women
that needed a tonic would rend nntt
heed tho words of these three fair la
dles who have spoken right to tho'
point, how many invalids would bo
prevented nnd how many wretched
lives be made happy.
Peruna restores health in a normal
wny.
Peruna puts right all tho mucou
membranes of the body, and in this.
way restores tho functions of every
organ.
If it is the stomach that is out of or
dcr, and the digestion Impaired, Pe
runa quickly makes things right by re
storing the mucous membrane of th
stomach.
If the nerves tingle, if tho brnin
tired, if the strength is flagging nnd
the circulation of blood weakened by
flabby mucous membranes of tho di
gestive organs, Peruna reaches tho
spot at once by giving to these (mem
branes the vitality and activity which
belongs to them.
The pelvic organs arc .ilso lined wlu
mucous membrane which in tho femalo
sex is especially liable to derange
ments. Peruna is an absolute spceilia
in theso cases. The women everywhero
are praising It. No other remedy has
ever received such unqualified praiso
from such a multitude of women.
If you do not derive prompt and sat
isfactory results from tho use of Pe
runa, write at once to Dr. Hnrtman,
giving a full statement of your caso
and he will be pleased to give you hl
valuable advice gratis.
