WHAT ROME THINKS THE POPE’S PHYSICIAN ENDORSES AN AMERICAN REMEDY. Dr. Lapponi Uses Dr. Williams' Pink Pills In His Practice Because Results Meet His Expectations. Dr. Lapponi, the famous physician to the Vatican, whose name has recently come so greatly to the front on account of his unremitting attention to His Holiness, the late Pope Leo XIII, and the high esteem and confidence with which he is regarded by the present Pope, His Holiness Pius X, is a man of commanding genius. He is more than a mere man of science; he is a man of original and independent mind. Untrammeled by the “etiquette” of the medical profession and having used Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People in his practice with good results, he freely avows the facts and endorses the value of tms remedy with an authority which no one will venture to question. Dr. Lapponi’s Letter. “I certify that I have used Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills in four cases of the simple anaemia of development. After a few weeks of treatment, the result came fully up to my expectations. For that reason I shall not fail in the future to extend the use of this laudable preparation not only in the treatment of other forms of the category of anaemia or chlorosis, but also iu cases of neurasthenia and the like.” (Signed) Giuseppe Lapponi, I Via dei Gracchi 832, Rom?.. The “simple anaemia of development,' referred to by Dr. Lapponi, is of course, that tired, languid condition of young girls, whose development to womanhood is tardy and whose health, at that period, is so often imperiled. His opinion of the value of Dr, Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People at that time is of the highest scientific authority, and it confirms the many published cases in which anaemia and other diseases of the blood, as well as nervous diseases such as nervfras prostration, neuralgia, St. Vitus’ dance, paralysis and locomotor ataxia have been cured by these pills. THey are commended to the public for their efficiency in making new blood and strengthening weak nerves. After such an endorsement they will be accepted by the medical and scientific world at their full value.

The Man Who Knew.

Many stories are told of judicial ignorance, but here is a good one of a chief justice who did not affect ignorance upon the bench, and who in consequence succeeded in clearing up a scandal which was beating counsel and witnesses. Str John Jervis had before him a young man who had been mercilessly pillaged by a gang of scoundrels. Jervis tore aside the network of sophistries woven round the case by counsel for the blacklegs, and skilfully elucidated the cryptogram employed to keep a record in their note-books showing transactions with the “pigeon.” Then a pack of cards was put in, for whose fairness the detective vouched. Jervis took them and in his summing up said, “Gentlemen, I will engage to to tell you without looking at the faces the name of every card In this pack.” He was as good as his word. The backs of the cards were figured with wreaths and flowers, with dots and lines all over. In the right-band corner of each was a small flower. The kings had so many dots each, the knaves so many, the ace and queen their due number. So that you had but to look at the back to see as plainly what he had as if the cards were laid face uppermost upon the table.

COMMERCIAL FINANCIAL

- Cllicdno go trade says: Business developments have been of an encouraging nature. A few industries are yet in a waiting attitude, but aside from these there appears more distinct activity in manufacturing and distribution. Wholesale dealings reached a satisfactory aggregate in fall and winter merchandise, retail sales reflect improved consumption, abd there is enlarged demand at better prices for furnace product. ( Marketing of cereals aggregates unusually high and indicates the extent to which growers are securing the benefit of prevailing profitable returns. Other classes of freight, especially general merchandise, show an advanced movement and railroad tonnage includes a wider variety of commodities. Current buying for interior requirements Is well sustained in the staples. The jobbing interests maintained firm price lists, and mercantile collections generally show well, failures being fewer In number. Breadstuff's exhibit a more assuring tone and market operations denote a stronger domestic demand, particularly for wheat and flour. The production of the latter Is less curtailed, millers being Influenced by low stocks on hand and reviving export inquiry. Grain shipments, 5,200,600 bushels, are 10.1 per cent over those of a year ago and thus far the heaviest this year. Compared with the closings last week, wheat advanced % cent per bushel, but oats declined 1% cents and corn % cent. Live stock receipts, 298,918 head, ran slightly over those a year ago. The market ruled favorable to shippers.

“ I suffered for three years with sever® backache. The doctors told me my kidneys were affected, and prescribed medicines for me, but I found that it was only a waste of time and money to take them, and began to hit ‘Jul I would never get well. A

R. G. Dun & Co.’s Nev York. weekly review of trade, covering the country as a whole, says: Trade expands steadily as confidence increases with the harvesting of the crops, and mercantile collections are less tardily met Lower temperature stimulates the demand for fall and winter wearing apparel, and there is more disposition to prepare for the future rather than to confine operations within the limit of immediate requirements. This improvement is extending to all departments of manufacture, and in the aggregate there is less idle machinery than at any recent date. Settlements of labor disputes have helped in the development of this favorable condition. Failures this week aggregated 225 in the United States, against 232 last year, and 30 in Canada, compared with 19 a year ago.

The weathef bureau’s weekly summary of crop conditions is as follows: Unusually low temperature for the season was the marked feature of the week in the northern section of the country east of the Rocky mountains, heavy and killing frosts occurring in New England, portions of the middle Atlantic States and lake region, Minnesota and the Dakotas. In the central valleys and southern districts more favorable temperature prevailed. Beneficial rains fell in Illinois, Indiana, lower Michigan and portions of lowa and Missouri, and showers delayed work ip Minnesota and North Dakota. In the principal corn producing States west of the Mississippi river late corn has experienced favorable weather conditions; the crop is generally maturing rapidly, except in northern Missouri.

DAVIS’ LETTER IS OUT.

Democratic Vice Presidential Candidate on thcTsaues. Henry G. Davis’ letter of acceptance of the Democratic nomination for Vice President is brief, aud the candidate’s comments upon the issues of the campaign have the conciseness and, In several instances, the abruptness of marginal notes. He devoted a paragraph each to the expenses of government, the army, Panama, imperialism, trusts, local self-gov-ernment, arbitration, the civil service and his running mate, Alton B. Parker. To the subject of the tariff he gives three paragraphs. “The times are propitious for the reinstatement of the Democratic party in control of the government,” says Mr. Davis by way of introduction. “The public mind is being disillusioned of the pretension of the Republican party, so long and so arrogantly made, that the material prosperity of the country depends upon its own ascendancy. Thoughtful an<T patriotic people are becoming more and more distrustful of the heady and personal element of the present administration, and are more than willing to see it replaced by one that better recognizes constitutional and other lawful restraints. They demand that the present wasteful extravagance in the expenditure of the money, drawn by taxation from the industry of the people, shall cease, and that economy and honesty in the public service shall be again regarded as virtues in the high places of the government.” Hailing as the harbinger of a new era the Inception of the work of building the isthmian canal, but deprecating the action of the administration which “inflicted a -wound upon our national honor by its disregard of the rights of a weaker nation,” the Democratic candidate for Vjce President closes his paragraph on Panama thusly: “A gross offense against a friendly republic which it was helpless to resent.” Many unwarranted things, in the opinion of Mr. Davis, must be regarded as the first fruits of imperialism, and show how fast we are drifting toward absolutism and centralized power. Mr. Davis declares that the tariff undoubtedly is too high upon such articles as the manufacturer is able to sell cheaper abroad than at home. Relief from present conditions, he says, can come only through the success of the Democratic party. The trusts, it is declared, have grown up under Republican rule, and it is asserted that some of them are so conducted as to be pernicious and harmful to the general interests.”

AID FOR DRUNKARDS.

Salvationists Have a Novel Plan for Regeneration in Chicago. Drunkards are to receive in Chicago this winter a degree of care and attention never bestowed on them since dipsomania overtook the descendants of the occupants of Eden’s garden. A “stretcher corps” is being organized by the Salvation army for relief work among the victims of strong drink. Before the frost has seared -the autumn leaves the work will be fully organized and in full blast. The “gutter soaks” will have found a friend. They will be picked up in the night, when irresponsible and not able to care for themselves, and in the morning instead of receiving ass fine—to be worked out in the bridewell; —'they will be -given five-minute lectures on the evils of drunkenness—the lecturers being the Salvation army officers who found them intoxicated the previous evening and placed them in free beds where they might sober up. Equipped with streachers the squads of officers constituting the drunkards’ rescuers will make the rounds of the squalid districts of the city at night, pick up those who appear to be completely overcome with liquor and carry them to one of the seven hotels maintained by the Salivation army in Chicago and in which more than 250,000 guests were accommodated last year. In every hotel or home maintained by the Salvation army a number of rooms will be set aside for the special purpose of accommodating the inebriated persona who may be brought in by the stretcher corps in the night. After they have revived their names and addresses will be taken. If they have homes and are susceptible of influence and approach, an acquaintance will be formed and social visits, made at their residences. In this way the nucleus will be laid for further work, which, the army authorities believe, will ripen into an effective scheme of reform.

THE RAILROADS

Tonnage continues to improve on the east-bound lines. Bailways are pushing themselves into every corner of the globe. Texas now stands first in the railroad mileage of all the States in the Union,. * At St. Louis last week fourteen ticket brokers were arrested for dealing in nontransferable tickets. The Russian government will spend $11,000,009 for immediate improvements on the Trans-Siberian railway. It has practically been agreed that the passenger associations will continue clergy permits for the year 1905. Gov. Blanchard of Ix>uiaiana has approved bill, recently paAsed by the Legislature of that State enlarging the powers of the railroad commission so as to give it control over joint through rates on freight and express matter. The Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio Railway Traffic Association has refused to grant the demand of bituminous coni operators for a reduction of 10 per cent in freight rates. The rates have been reaffirmed for another season. A peculiar condition in railroading exists in China, where the passenger receipts uniformly exceed those from freight traffic. The reason for this most unusual state of affairs is that the Chinese have not yet learned the superiority of rail over water transportation for mercliandise. As the Celestials progress this proportion will gradually reverse.
