FRANCE'S COlIKTESr. Eibot's Official Letter Accepting the Fair Invitation, THE EAYAGES OF THE CRUEL GRIP. Arrangements for Mnsic at the Dedicatory Ceremonies. ATICrOEYFOR MES. POTIEE PALMEE Chicago, March 9. The correspondence announcing the first acceptance of the invi tation to participate in the Exposition by a foreign Government has been received at Exposition headquarters from Secretary Blame. It consists-of a letter from White law Seid, American Minister at Paris, to Secretary Blaine, notifying him of the of ficial conveyance of the President's invita tion to France to participate in the Fair, and incloses a translation of the note of ac ceptance sent in reply by M. Eibot, Min ister of Foreign Affairs. The note of ac ceptance is as follows: France Formally Accepts. "Paris, February It "Sin. Minister Referrinc to my letter of the 10th of tbis month. I have the honor to an nounce to you that the Government of tbe Re public accepts with the greatest pleasure, for France, the invitation which you have trans mitted to it in the name of the Onned States, to take part in the Universal Exposition, which Is to take place at Chicago in 1893, in com memoration ot the fourth centenary of the dis covery of America. The Government of the Republic is already occupying itself with the measures necessary to insure the participation of French artists in this International celebra tion, and as soon as the commissioners to rep resent it shall have been designated I will take care to inform you. Ribot." The funeral ot Dr. Edward Weston, of the Bureau of Publicity and Promotion, occurred this afternoon. The interment was in Oak wood cemetery. Vice President Bryan if the latest addition to the list of World's Fair officials suffering from the crip. There is but little change in the condition of Director Gen eral Davis. Arranging lor Musical Exercises. Upon invitation of the Committee on Cere monies, Proi. Tomlins and the officors of the Apollo Club have taken charge of the choral work at the dedicatory ceremonies in October. 1S92. The club Is to do its work without re muneration, and its officers have pledged the presence of 12,000 voices at the musical enter tainment on the day of dedication. Th Apollo Club is pronouncpd the most perfect cho -a', or ganization in the United States. In the closing hours of Congress the appro priation for the use of the National Commis sion and the lady managers was restored to a reasonable amount. Tbe sum agreed upon in the joint conference of House and Senate com mittees was 635,000. Of this, 36,00(1 is set apart for tbe lady managers, leaving 59.600 for the commission. While the sum is much smaller than President Palmer asked, the national or ganization will be enabled to maintain Its ex istence and do most of the work required of it in the act of Congress that created tbe com mission. Sirs. Potter Palmer's Victory. Mrs. Potter Palmer, president of the Hoard of Lady Managers, is entitled to most of the credit for tbe favorable action in Congress. She Eummoned the finance committee of tbe board to Washington and remained there two weeks, presenting arguments for a more gen erous appropriation than the Senate had de cided to make. Mrs. Palmer's plea was on patriotic grounds. She represented to mem bers of Congress that tbey could ill afford to deal sparingly with a great national enterprise, In tbe success of winch the whole country was go much interested. She sought those members who had been most unfriendly to tbe exposition, and first ap pealed to them in bebalf of tbe Board of Lady Managers. Once their sympathy was enlisted in that organization, she told tbem the Na tional Commission was likewise deserving of assistance. Mrs. Palmer says the opposition to generous appropriations was not due to any lack of interest in the exposition, but to a settled conviction that tbe commission bad been extravagant in the matter of salaries, and .to a belief that it was taking too much power from tbe local board. The Commission Meets In April. - 1 President Palmer has announced that tbe commission will meet in April, in pursuance of .Its by-laws. The exact cause of tbe meeting is jnot generally understood, unless it be to so clearly define its duti..-j that any further dis- inzreements with the local board will not be possible. The salary question will in all prob ability come up 4gain,as tbe reduced appropria i tion will make a revision of salaries necessary. The Board of Control, which adjourned last udiuiuaj ucuiu, itiu mem again Jjionuay. A general redaction of expenses was ordered Saturday, when it seemed that only S40.0U0 stonld be available for the commission and the lady managers. Officers were instructed to surrender all but three rooms at headquarters and to reduce the allowance for clerks, tyne nritcrs and messengers to S350 a month. BETTER THAN EXPECTED. ilHE BOWMAN WELL AT WESTVIEW D0IHQ 25 BARRELS AW HOUR. The Forerunner of Jack's Itnn Has Re lapsed Into Obscurity Another Volcanic Gusher Probably at Southwest Wild wood But Little in an Elizabeth Mys tery. rfiPKCIAL TELEOBAX TO Till DISPATCH.! West View, March 9.-4West View, the forerunner of Jack's Run, has relapsed into cbicurity, and to the trade has become ob livious. Time was when this beautiful sec tion of Allegheny county bid fair to develop 1 into a prolific pool of importance, and the territory, when the excitement ran high, was considered a good thing to invest in. 'But here is where the best of operators were left, and upon the whole there were but precious few who made any money in the scramble for leases, while there were thonsands ot dollars sunk in tb.s treacherous and seduct tive pool. . Bowman & Co. struck the interesting spot in iNo. 2 Sheidie late Saturday, which made a fair (Showing of oil. The well'was drilled deeper this afternoon, but owing to the lateness ot the hour the results could not be learned. The K West View Oil Company are down 750 feet with No. 6. Munhall t Co., after drilling their No. 1 Itouser to a depth of 2.200 feet without find ing oil. have decided to give up the hunt, and will pull np the casing. In this well a small 'flow of gas was found, but not enough to pay. After fishing tor some time the West view Oil Company succeeded in getting a bit out of old No. lEvoy. They gave tbe well a gentle bhot, which increased its production to 50 bar rels a day. AtHassTille Hummil &. Co. are thrilling a well on tke Rhodes farm at 750 feet. 23 IlarreH an Hour. Bince writing the above report a special from West View at 830 states that drilling was re sumed in the Bowman well on tho Schcida farm at 11 o'clock, and at 12:10 the drill tapped a prolific pay. At S o'clock they run 5 feet and 6 inches of oil out of a 250 tank, and at tbis writing the well is doing 25 barrels an hour. This well is located between two small pump ers, being 450 feet west of Kleiman & Smith's Kopp well and 50 feet east of Scbeide No. 1, and also 700 feet south of Hoffman's No. 1. Wolfe. Since tho snowing made by this well Ithere is a possibility of some good territory, both northeast and southwest on a 22 line. No particular significance is attached to tbis fctrike. Wildwood Excited Again. Wildwood Wildwood is beginning again to assume its erratic character, and if the evi dence of another breaking out place to-day on the southwest line is followed up by tbc'vcl-canic-like eruption so characteristic of gushers 'in that quarter, tbe battle cry of "rive Wild w ood" will soon ring forth. It Is reported to-night that McGinnis &. Co. topped the first pay in No. L Angnst Kyle farm, 'and was flowing on the ground at tbe rata of lrom five to seven barrels an hour and another report says the pay was just touched, and the well made two spurts of probably 10 or 12 barrels. Tbis well is located 1,000 feet directly east of tbe Alitor well, wbicb, it will be remem bered, is on a 45 line. This well inaKlcg such showing, its indications are favorable and is a genuine surprise lo many operator?. The well Is shut down, moving out the boiler, and drill ing will be started again as soon as tankage can be procured and connections made. Tbe resnlt is awaited with much interest. The Dnval & Beers well, on the same farm, i northwest of the McGinnis well, is 20 festm we sana ic-aigni, wita some gas cut no oil. Uainsdall & Gillespie No. 11, Kress, got In Sun day, and has not started up again to drill. After six weeks' fishing in No. 9, same farm, the tools have been taken ant. Guffey 5c Queene's No. , Kretzer. is 15 feet in the sand to-night, with no oil. Forst & Greenlee com menced spudding to-day In Nos. 2 and 8, Alston, and Evans, Manderillc & C. will start the drill in tbe mornfog at No. 2. Wright Tann. Tho Forest Oil Company and Queenu &C". ex pect tbe sand in their No. 4 ltunga in about a week. The Smith Farm Oil Company's N n. 8 is on top of tbe sand, and is makingnine inches an honr to-night. The Christie well on the Nancy Gibson farm, a mile north of Wildwood sta tion, is reported SO feet in the sand without any oil. Ireland & Hughes tubed their Bryant farm well to-day. Much Ado About Nothing. Elizabeth A correspondent from Eliza beth writes The Dispatch as follows con cerning tbe Snee & Munhall well: "I see some one has succeeded in circulating a cock-and-bull story of the great possibilities ot another big oil field near Elizabeth,about 23 miles south west of Pittsburg, in Lincoln township, and. as usual, a Pittsburg morning paper makes a big -thing out of nothing. Tho well In question is owned by Snee A Munball. and located on tbe Edmondsou farm. F.-om tbe best information at hand. It is being worked as a mystery. Tbe attempted boom in tbis territory on tbe strength ot a mystified well, and that, too, in territory which has been pretty thoroughly tested and condemned, must fall a great way short of tbe mark. "A well-informed oil man came into Elizabeth from the well to-dav, and said to jour corres pondent, there was from loa to -TAJ leet 01 oil in tbe hole, and added, he did not know whether it came from tho sand in the well or whether it was dumped into tbe hole. There is no excite ment whatever here over tho reported find, and tbe majority of operators are too well posted on this territory to be so easily misled. "This country has been drilledi.over by tbe Elizabeth Heat and Light Company. Boyd & Gumbert and McKeesport parties. The Brewey Company and Gumbert also drilled a well at Coal Bluff, one anu a half miles south west of the Snee A Munhall well. In nearly all ot these ventures a little oil and gas were found, but not enough of cither to pay. The opinion of the best posted oil men is that if the bnee fc Munball well should ever develop into a paying venture it will not only be a surprise, but will break all previous records of the third sand formation. Unless something more tangi ble is developed from tbe mystery there can be no cause tor alarm in the ihaps of a market breaker." Jack's Itun a Flash In the Pan. Jack's Run But little nowadays is beard of Jack's Run.' At one time it gave some promise of developing into an important pool, but it finally turned out a fash in the pan, and can hardly be counted amonj theproducingfteldsof Allegheny county. If a comparison is drawn with Wildwood. Coraopolis or McCurdy. How over. Borne crood wells have been found hero. but their careers as good producers were only transitory, and tbe territory has never shown any staying qualities. At present there is only one well drilling in tbe field, No.2 Hcbert A Co., on the Hill farm, which has reached a depth of 1,000 feet. McCormick & Co. are putting in tbe casing in their No. L Shaw farm, after tbe usual process ot ramming down. Tbe old wells, which were shot and cleaned out last month, considerably increasing their production, have now fallen off and assumed their normal condition, and produce on an average ot from 8 to 15 barrels a ua y. Thayer & Co.'s boiler house, on the Burger farm, caught lire recently when the pumper was at supper and burned to the ground. How tbe fire originated no one knows. This same company have decided to administer another dose of high explosive to their No. 2 Burger, which will temporarily increase its produc tion. The New Cranberry Field. Evaxs City The Cranberry oil field, which Waul, Bishop & Co. opened lately by their wild cat venture on the Dambach farm, is assuming quite a lively appearance. Operators and farmers are producing convincing arguments, tbe latter, as usual, wbere oil is found, for large bonus, tbe former to get tbe land on reasonable terms. Beers, McKee t Klchert have leased a large tract of land laying between the Dam bach farm and tho Dntill heirs' property. There has been quite a prodnction on the latter farm for several years. It will be tboronghly tested, as they nave already two rigs up, one on the William Garvin farm and one on tbe Emmell, and will be drilling In a few days. Lcntz and Mublbrowner are building a rig on the Benjamin Garvin farm, and Robert Aslt Co. have a risf completed on the Coovert farm. Mellon & Co.'s Good New Well. Bakeestown J. C. Millison & Co. struck a good well Saturday afternoon on the Patton farm. The venture started off at 130 barrels a day. but durinc Sunday came down a peg or two. The well is not in order, but will be soon set right and drilled on. By the last of this week or the first ot next several wells are due. A Mistake in the Depth. McCukdy Tbe Mellon A Galley well, on the James Riddle farm, was measured to-day and was found to be not as deep as reported Sunday night. Mr. Sparks, one of tbe owners, said at 5 o'clock to-night tbe well was only one bit in the sand and as yet had found no oil. McC. LATE HEWS IN BRIEF. Nashville held Sherman memorial services Sunday. Tbe school question is regarded as the great Catholic issue in America. Venice will be reproduced in tbe lake at the World's Fair gondolas and all.

Madison clergy men now get 10 a prayer. The wreck on the Atchison road, near Havana, III., resulted in the death of Fireman Saddler and tbe injury of nine others. Tne car-store got in its usual work by burning the wrecked cars. John H. Smyth, ex-United States Minister to Liberia, has written a letter to President Harrison urging the appointment of a colored person to represent the negro race at the World's Columbian Exposition. A farmer found in his wheat bin last week the dead body of a man standing head down ward in the wheat. It is supposed the man was a wheat thief, and losing his balance, smoth ered before be could extricate himself. The Privy Council of Great Britain has just decided a nice point of Mohammedan doc trine in a case appealed to them, in favor of tbe defendant. Mosque worshipers accused their crier of prayers a heretic because he cried "Amen" so loud they had to raise their hands to their ears. At a meeting of tne boot and shoe workers of Boston Sunday evening every delegate pres ent reported much dissatisfaction in the Boot and Shoe Workers' International Union be cause of the present management, and it was decided to put a Knight of Labor organizer In tbe New England district at once.

Catarrb.as generally known, is a diseased condition of the mucous membrane of tbe nose and throat. How cansedf Its causes are numerous, but frequent repetitions of colds, consequent upon our changeable climate, is the one most gen eral. What does It lead to? If not treated It leads to various unhealthy conditions, such as Im paired hearing, loss of the sense of smell, weak ened vision, bronchial affections oftentimes terminating in consumption. The stomach and Intestines become diseased lll-smelline dis cbarges from nose ana ears result; in tact, tbe whole system Becomes affected. Is It prevalent and can it be cured? Dr. Carl Seller, the most eminent throat and nasal spe. ciauswn me unueu oiaies, says: "it is esti mated that about nine hundred and ninety thouaand persons out of one million suffer from this disease. This very frequency gives rise to a popular belief that it is incurable. Yet with proper and rational treatment a patient can be cured In a comparatively short time." Tbe preceding should prove conclusively that we make no false claims when we say that Drs. Copeland & (Hair's treatment absolutely cures. Hundreds of patients can so testify. This week we add the following: jiiiIM'L. $5 tfofchgk rASasBsft. iS3 tfXR.:SKk ., -.. k- !y tifeo MM Mr. K. McDonald. Duqucme, I'd. Mr. R.

I had pains in the bead, limbs and chest about tbe region of the heart. Sly nose was stopped np. and there was ringing noises in my cars. I hawked and spit np mucous continually. My eyes were weak, and I suf fered from nausea and weak stomach. Had no appetite, felt dizzy upon rising, and was always tired in the morning. I decided to treat with Drs. Copeland Blair, and lam glad that I did. I am free from headaches and pains. My nose Is clear and bearing well. I have regained my appetite, and in tbe morning I feel rested.
