This City Is Not Near Its Limit as
to Indebtedness.
The impoit of the resolution regaid
Jng Pie alarm, intioduccd in common
tounell Monday evening by G. B. Van
Gorder, does i.ot seem to be thoioughly
undei stood even by some ot the mem
beta of the upper house, one ol whom
remaikfd thai It was taking away
fiom councils power given them by
their tonstltutents when they weie
elected
The icsolutlon does nothing of the
s.oit nor does it handicap them in any
vvh. It bimply provides oi will pro
vide, If adopted an oppoitunlty for
the voters to say whether; they deslro
an Increase of the city's debt or not
Neither should it be intoned that the
e lt has reached Its limit ol Indebted
ness without holding a special election.
Councils have authority to issue bonds
to the amount of neaily $.O,O0O without
asking anv bod v The icason they have
not done so Is because of the lenr of
liuid times caused bv the gravity state
of a few months ago.
In connection with the legular elec
tion to be held next month the will of
the people may very easily and Inex
pensively be nseeitnlned and theie Is
no reabon whv It should not be If a
inajoilty should vote for bonds for a
ilie nltnni sv stem as It undoubtedly
would countilmen would take no
rhance of being censured for Increasing
the debt.
The if solution Is very specific in the
luuse telatlve to its being not bind
ing on the city any fuither than as an
expression of opinion.

Instances of Heroism That Deserve
the People's Gratitude.
AV. E. Curtis in Chicago Record.
Tho senate has passed a tesolutlon
tendering th thanks of congiess to
Miss Clura Barton and the Red Cross
society for their services in behalf of
humanity during the late war, and sev
eial similar organizations for the relief
of the soldlets think they are entitled
to tho same distinction. The Red Cross
society Is not a monopoly, anv organ
isation for tho relief of suffeilng being
entitled to bear that nnme and to pro
tection In foielgn lands under tho
Geneva convention There were several
Independent branches of tho Red Cross
at woik during the war, but Miss Bar
ton Is so well known over tho world
that her society comes to mind when
the name Is mentioned.
The next most prominent was the
AVoman's Relief association of New
York, of which Miss Helen Gould was
the moving spit It. Bishop Potter wns
president of the National Relief asso
ciation. The Massachusetts A'oluntecr
Aid society had Its headquarters at
Boston, and there weie societies In
nearly every city and many towns for
the aid of th" sick and needy soldiers
which did great good, nnd representa
tives In congress from their respective
localities think they are entitled to Just
as much credit ns Miss Barton.
Bills hnvo also been Introduced ten

eial individual philanthropists nnd
nurses, Including Miss Gould, Miss An

AA'heeler: Miss Chanler, Miss Anna
Boullnguy and several others whose

their behalf. Miss Barton hnd the us
ual distinction of being mentioned In
tho president's message. Miss Gould
lias received formal thanks of tho com.

and tho legislature of New York, and

AFTER EFFECTS OF LA GRIPPE.
Haggard Weakness, Shrunken Pallor, Blood
less Despondency.
A SPECIFIC RESTORATIVE THAT HAS STOOD THE TEST
OF TIME.
Without raising the discussion as to
whether la gilppe Is produced by u
specific mlcrobo or not, nt least this
much Is certain and admitted by nil,
that Is will produce chronic catanh It
not promptly aim pioperly cut eel. It
leaves a person haggard, weak, sallow,
traszlcd-out, mucous membranes all
congested, appetite changeable, diges
tion capricious, nnd Just about empties
life of nil meaning or desirability.
The specific cause for la gilppe may
bo a microbe; no doubt It Is. But the
effects of la gilppe need no discussion.
People understand that themselves.
Expeilenco may be a hnrd and bitter
teacher, but the lessons learned lu this
school aio to the point, and accurate.
There la no other disease so manv
slded In its lll-effects, so Insidious In It
approach, so tenacious In Its hold upiii
tho system, ns la grippe. Once theie. it
stays until It Is cured. La grippe is
one of the Ills that time will not erne.
The nftei .effects of la gilppe do not lo
cate in any particular organ. It
amount) to a general Inltablllty of the
mucous membranes of the whole body
a llabblness and paleness of the mm -ous
membrane. Hoinetfmes theie Is an
over-amount of thin, vvattiy mucus se
creted, and nt other limes theio Is a
dryness of the mucous surfaces.

cases, male or female, a listless In
ability for business or study a good-for-nothing,
helpless, lazy, stupid feel
ing. Huch a condition as this Is not likely
to be diagnosed as la gilppe. One doc
tor will call It dyspepsia; another will
call It nervous prostration; another will
call It biliousness: another will call It
liver complaint; another will say that
the blood Is too thick or out of order,
and so it will go on from one to the
the services ot the modest Httlu woman
In behalf of the American army. All
the rival associations admit her claims
She did more for the sick, wounded and
homeless soldiers than any other indi
vidual and spent as much for the le
llef from her own purse as was raised
by the Red Cross societies.
Miss Chanler is another young woman
of great wealth, a member ot the As
tor family, who, with Mbjfi Anna Bou
Hngny, established a hospital for olll
ccis at Ponce and another nfterwaid
at San Juan at her own expense. She
still supports them, although she has
returned home and left them In charge
of the at my surgeons.
Miss Annie AVheeler showed great de
votion and heroism as a volunteer
nurse at Santiago, and afterward at
Montauk Point. Her application for
employment in the regular hospital
corps was rejected by the surgeon gen
eral and the Red Cross because she
was not a trained nurse and hnd had
no experience, but she accompanied her
father on the Santiago expedition, and
when he went to the front she re
mained In the rear and took care of the
sick and wounded. Several other vol
unteers did equally heroic and valuable
service, notably Mrs. Lesser, Mrs.
Trumbull AVhlte, correspondent of the
Chicago Record on the Red Cross ship,
and Miss Janet Jennings, another
newspaper correspondent. Mrs. How
land came all the way from Los An
geles and paid her own expenses for
the privilege ot serving her count! y;
two sisters, whose names I could not
learn, came from Salt Lake City under
similar circumstances.
Tho daughter of Secretary Long nnd
three ot her fellow-students' at Johns
Hopkins Medical college spent their
vacations nursing the sick and wound
ed. Mrs. Ennls, a colored woman from
tho Freedman's hospital at AVashlng
ton, went to Santiago with the army
and has been there ever since nursing
the colored soldiers. She is ono of the
humble heroines of the war and li Just
as much entitled to tho thanks of con
gress and a medal as Miss Barton or
Miss Gould.
And what compensation Is there for
Mrs. Ellen Hardin AA'alworth, of New
York, who not only faced disease and
death in tho hospitals of Fort Monroe
and Montauk Point all summer, but
gave her only daughter, a beautiful
girl of nineteen, vvho was more precious
to her than all of Miss Gould's mill
Ions? The Natlonnl Society of the
Daughteis of the Revolution will erect
a monument to commemorate the hero
Ism and sacrifice of Rublna AA'alworth.
Her mother was one of the three found
ers of that order and she was tho
grandchild of the late Chancellor Wal
worth, of New York.

Mary Larkln, a sweet nun from Em

heroism of another bravo volunteer

Fifteen hundred contt act nurses were
employed by the medical corps during
tho war and there were about 1G0 vol
unteeis. The exnet number Is not

FACTS ABOUT SAMOA.
Germany Wants to Rulo the Little
Group, Though Ilor Trade There Is
Very Small.
From the New York Sun
The Germans want the ruling hand
In Samoa. They cannot claim this on
the etrcngth of their superiority In
trade with tho Islands, for In this re
spect they fall far below the United
States, Great Britain and Australasia,
lu 1S97 the Islands imported 53,415
other, until eveiythlng in the category
of diseases, except, perhaps, umallpox,
will be suggested us the cause.
Rut, peihaps, not one of these will
suspect that the case Is one of linger-
lug la grippe, a case ot la grippe that
has pei moated the whole system; iv
ease of la gilppe that hua poisoned
every secretion of the body and con
veited them Into In Rating discharges.
When the mucous membranes are heal
thy thete Is constantly exuding from
their surfaces a clear, soothing, bland
fluid culled mucus, but as soon as tho
! mucous membranes become nffected by
I la grippe, even slightly, the mucous c
i cti'tlon becomes poisonous and Irrltnt
I lug.
1 Thus It is that the mucus, which Is so
J useful In lubilcutiiig and ptotecting
I these delicate membranes In health,
i becomes, when c bunged by the Effects
1 of la gilppe, a con tiding and dangeioiis
lluld, which frequently eats Its vvuy
I completely thiough the tender mem
I branc. sometimes even destioying ad
jacent organs.
Tlicio Ih no remedy In the world that
meets the conditions pioduced by la
gilppe better than the leinedy IV-ru-na.
Pe-iu-na strengthens us It reno
vates, soothes while It stimulates,
heuls as It exptn gates. Pe-ru-iia is not
a purgative, or cath.it tic, or sedative,
or stimulant, nor a vegetable or niln
einl poison. It reaches the eource of
all diseases of the mucous membranes
by its action on the vasa-mutor system,
of nerves.
Every pel son who had had la gilppe
dutlng the last year should take n
course of Pe-ru-na. No ono need ex
pect perfect recoveiy unless they do ho.
The grippe has produced catairhal In
flammation of the whole mucous mem
biane, and good health Is impossible'
until these nie restoied to a normal
condition. This Pe-ru-na will do. A
great many lemedles have been sug
gested foi this condition from time to
time, but Pe-iu-na appears to be tint
only remedy that has any substantial
value In thewe cases. It has stood tho
test of fotty j ears' experience nnd still
occupies the unique position of being
the leading (If not the only) speclllo
remedy for the after-effects of lit,
grippe.

The great drawback of Samoa Is that
It is so far from markets. Its best
products are tropical fruits which aio
abundantly produced, but distance
from markets prevents exportation.
California is fifteen days by steam,
and freight itttes are prohibitive. Be

but Its whole population Is not much
moie than that of Baltimore. Sidney
is eight days away by steam, but Aus
tralia, and New Zealnnd hnvo island-
nearer them, notably FIJI, which grow
all the tropical fruits they want. Sc
no fruit Is shipped from Apia, the onlv ,
port of the Islands,
In 1S8.S the Ceylon coffee dlseare firt

and in a short time put an end to coffen
production In that group. No attempt
has since been made to nlse coffee.
Practically the whole business oi
Samoa Is based today upon the cocoa
nut, and tho expoit of copra, tho dried
meat of the cocoanut, represents near
ly all the exports of the Islands. In
1S97, nearly 11,000,000 pounds of copra,
the native ptoduct, were exported in
addition to the large quantity raised
on the German plantations. But even
In her copi.i Samoa is not particulaily
fortunate. Some fifteen years ago
theie was jn cncimouH demand for
copra, with tht result that the cocoanut
tree was planted on the coast of evtrv
sea where It would glow. A few jeais
luter the markets weie glutted with
copra, prices fell about one-half, and
tho dajs of the piosperlty or that trade
have not Mute returned. What with
her political troubles and the cause-,
that have cor.s-plred to keep hei tom
nieice small, Samoa has nm had .i
