About seven years ago she retired, selling out to a | German who used to be a watchman in ome of the Bowery variety theaters. The business is still run in her name. “The decline of minstrelsy,” said the factory proprietor to the Sun reporter, | “has injured this industry a great deal, but I am still able to make fair profits. | There is only one other firm, some- where out West, that manufactures the stuff, and the competition does not do | me much harm and I am able to get | along. Of course, the business is not | what it used to be, but with the advent of modern theaters and the introduc- tion of incandescent lights it might be worse. “In former years most of the min- strels used to burn old corks over the gas and use them. But the introduc- | tion of electricity has done away with that. Minstrels now prefer the pre- pared cork, because it is handier and cheaper. The stuff sells for 50 cents a pound, and this quantity is sufficient | to last for months. The cost of manu- facture is small and if I had enough customers I would be able to earn plen- ty of money.”—New York Sun CRORCHORROR: CRCHORCRORHORCRCE CHCHBORIY K MRt CRORRORHORI ADVERTISEMENTS.

My head is clear, and [ can safely affirm that Peruna cured me.”— Miss Fiora Hauser. Hundreds of Women Cured by Pe-ru-na of Annoying Catarrh. R. HARTMAN has probably done more than any other physician toward popularizing a means of escape from the facial deformities, ruch as watery eyes, twisted nose, offen- sive breath, dry cracked lips, due to the ravaging effects of catarrh. He has made chronic catarrh a lifelong study. His remedy, popularly known as Peruna, is the most famous remedy for catarrh in existence. Probably there is not a man or woman, boy or girl, within the bounds of the United States that has pot heard of Pe- runa. By far the largest majority have used Peruna. The multitude of people that have been cured of chronic catarrh by using Peruna can never be known. Miss Amanda Johnson, Falrchild, Wis., writes: “I write to tell you how much Peruna benefited me. For a number of years I had pain in my head around my eyes, and I thought it 80 I went to an and wore them was because my eyes needed treatment, oculist and had glasses fitted to my eyes for some time, but felt no relief whatever. In fact, I felt worse than before, and came to the conclu- sion that the trouble was not with my eyes, but with my head and that it must be catarrh. As so many of my friends had used Peruna with berefit for this trouble, I thought I would in a short time eyes were in splendid condition, much improve and all the catarrh of try it. I was not sorr; I began to improve, an: my that I did so, for in four weeks my eneral health was the head was gone. I was glad to get rid of this trouble and am dorse such a good medicine as Johnson. —————— J.MSOII: Peruna. Affticted With Catarrh Can Be Either Beautiful Many 4 girl has regained her faded beauty, many a matron has lengthened the days of her comely appearance by using Peruna. Peruna produces clean mucous mem- branes, the basis of facial symmetry and rfect complexion. 'he women have not been slow to dis- cover that a course of Peruna will do more toward restoring youthful beauty than all the devices known to science. pile it is true that Peruna cures ca- tarrh wherever located, yet it is advisa- ble for every one to use Peruna as a pre- ventive and not wait until catarrh has fastened itself in some part of the sys- tem. Peruna acts quickly and beneflcially on | the inflamed mucous membranes lining | the difterent organs of the body. Thus it | will cure catarrh wherever located. | I you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a | full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad- vice gratis.

The loan expansion of $4,298,700 was, as has been the case in previous weeks, due chiefly to corporation and stock exchange loaning, though it would ap- pear that the former was quite mid- crate. The increase in the loan item last week made the expansion since Janu- ary 2 $90,280,300, to $998,850,800, or within $1,149,200 of the billion dollar mark. The increase of $3,212,700 in deposits makes the new high record of $1,027,- 156,500, and the gain since January 2 has been $240,997,500. The cash showed a net reduction of $2,483,100, legal tenders falling off $2,- 952,500 and specie increasing $498,400, whereas the estimates, which were based upon the traceable movements of money during the week, indicated a gain in cash of $2,264,200. The discrep- ancy between the estimated gain and the loss as recorded by the bank state- ment was probably due to unreported withdrawals from the banks and also to the bringing over into last week the four days’ average of the $2,800,000 pay- ment in the previous week of the Cen- tral Pacific note. The increase of $3,332,700 in deposits caused an augmentation of $802,175 in the required reserve, which sum added to the net loss of cash made a decrease of $3,266,275 in the surplus reserve to $21,842,775. Calculated upon the basis of deposits, less those of $36,983,300 of pub- lic funds, the surplus is $31,066,100. It is noteworthy that whereas recent statements have shown a good proof, last week’s returns failed to prove by $1,397,100, the increase in deposits being greater by this amount than the sum of the gain in loans less the net loss of cash. The deposits were in excess of loans last week by $28,305,700, against $29,391,700 in the previous week. —_—————— It is reckoned that the household and personal refuse of all kinds and street sweepings of a town amount to about half a ton annually per head of the pop- ulation, or in London 50,000 tons per week, Smtiny MURDERERS FIND REFUGE IN SWAMP Mississippl Negro and Wife Kill Of- ficers’ Bloodhounds and Prepare for Fight to Death. VICKSBURG, Miss., Feb. 6.—Driven to bay in a dense swamp, near Green- wood, Luther Holbert and his wife, wanted at Doddsville for the murder of James Eastland, are prepared to sell their lives dearly. The negroes to-day killed four of the State’s bloodhounds that had tracked them into the swamp. Several hundred men from four coun- ties are guarding every exit from the swamp. Unless the couple attempt to break through the cordon to-night, the posse plans to beat the woods thor- oughly in the morning. Holbert's wife is dressed in male attire and both she and her husband are heavily armed. Two negroes were killed by a posse near Belzonia, Yazoo county, to-day. One of them, thought te be Holbert, showed fight when called upon to halt and both were shot to death. The present scene of action is in Le- flore county, the chage having led across three counties. —_—e———————— Value of Learning to Knit. Fifty years ago every woman and girl was taught to knit as part of her education. Now, however, compara- tively few are taking to knitting needles with any seriousness or inten- tion. Young women should become ex- pert knitters not because they cannot buy things as cheaply as they can produce them, but with a view of that far-off day which is certain to come in time—the day of old age. To the brightest girl there may fifty years hence arrive the day of deafness, when the voices of music shall be brought low, or the day of blindness, when the fair world shall be dim and MRS. OELRICHS ROBBED OF A GOLD HANDBAG Thief Obtains Keys to Safe Deposit Box Holding Possessions Valued at a Million Dollars. NEW YORK, Feb. 6§.—Scores of de- tectives are trying to locate a solid gold handbag belonging to Mrs. Her- mann Oelrichs, which is worth several thousand dollars, and which contains the keys to her safe deposit box in a well-known trust company, where are stored jewels and securities valued at more than a million dollars. Mrs. Oelrichs gave a dinner to fifty friends and then took all of her guests to Pembroke Jones' ball at Sherry's. Arriving home late, Mrs. Oelrichs had no occasion to ascertain if everything was safe and it was not until late the next day that she discovered her loss of the gold bag. Fearing that the thief in possession of her keys might reach her safe deposit box and steal all of her securities there, Mrs. Oel- richs immediately notified the Lin- coln Safe Deposit Company, whers her valuables are kept, and every day since then detectives have been on guard before the little box in order to arrest any person who might attempt to open it.
