31. S KEKTIIA E. WENTNER, OF BUCKLEY, WASH.
Miss Bertha K, Wentner, a piomlnent Sunday School worker, writes:
"Having tried several remedies for chronic catarrh of tho broncial
tubes without being helped, I began to think there
was no cure until I tried Peruna. A great change
for the better at once took place, and after two months
faithful use, Peruna completely cured me. For the
past six months I have had no catarrhal symptoms
and am grateful to testify I owe my complete recov
ery to Peruna."
Mrs. Mary Cook, Pittsford, N. Y., also says:
"I was not very well for six years, paid many
doctor bills, but never improved very much. Two
years ago I was attacked with la grippe, which left
me with n severe liver trouble. I gave up hope of
over recovering. Peruna cured me. I feel youngagaln
and am gaining in flesh, as I was very emaciated. My
own children are surprised In the gre at change In me when they come to
visit me. We have made Peruna our household remedy.'
Mrs. Mary Cook.
Hon. A. T. Wlnibeily, Collector of
the Port of New Orleans, La., and
member of the National Itepubll-an
Committee, In writing of Peruna, says:
"I have used Peruna and can gluJly
recommend It as being all you repre
sent. I wish that every man who Is in
need of a goenl tonic could know of ;t.
I would advl.se all such to take it
now, and am sure It would never be
i curetted."
Peruna Is an Internal remedy a scl
cntlllc temedy for catarrh. It fuires
catarih wherever located. Its cuies
last. Peruna gives strength by top
ping waste. By saving tho tnucu3 It
enriches the blood. Uy cleansing the
mucous membranes it preserves the
vital forces.
A constant drain of mucus from the
system In known as systemic catarrh
This may occur from any organ of tho
body. Systemic catarrh Is more com
mon In spring and summer than In the
winter. A course of Peruna now wi'l
do much more good than In the inclem
ent weather of winter.

pany, Columbus, Ohio, for a free book

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.
New York, April 17. The published opinions
and assertions of Mr. J. W. dates, chairman ot
the American Stel and Wire company, regarding
the present conditions anil the outlook for the
future In the iron and steel trade occupied the
attention of dealers In slocks and bonds to the,
almost total exclusion of all othci matters today.
Demoralisation and confusion were the, results.
It Is a striking coinmcnUiy upon the way forces
work In tho stock market that the iron and sice,
stocks are the only ones that show striking net
gains, while tho net losses i-rer) where else are
undoiibteilv due to the fears of unsound condi
tions of the Iron trade and In the securities of
corporation In that trade. When the urgent
demand for the Iron and sleel stocks was proved
immediately after the eiK-nlng drop in them
there was a feeling of relief retiected In a lively
recovery ot prices all around. The first Interpre.
tatlon of the buy ing of these stocks was that it
contradicted the gloomy assertions of the chair
man of the Steel and Wire company. Later the
conviction seemed to gather force that this buy
ing might simply ntrejent the taking of profits
Dy i nc nears who nail soiei in anticipation oi me
recent heavy declines in these stocks. The as
sertions of Cliaiiman Gates of overproduction
in the trade and the nec-esslty for concessions u.
prices were met by a chorus of disclaimers by
representatives of Other companies In the metal
industry and bv authorities In the trade. These
disclaimers were accompanied by much bitter In.
xeitlve and questioning of motive. The reassur
ance derived from this source had much to do
dth the general rally after the opening, but It
was not sufficient to all all doubts caused by the
fsct of the closing down ot a large number of
the mills of the Steel and Wiic company. One
of the authorities who sought to controvert the
position of Chairman Gates, argued that If the
iion and steel Industry is in as bad condition
as Mr. Gates painted It then practically all se
curities are fifty per cent, too high. This au
thority meant to enforce his view that the high
level ot securities prices and the general proj.
perity of the country In themselves serve to
tontrovert the view- that the iron tiaelc is in
bad shipe. The doubt cast upon Its soundness
by so prominent an authority proved too niuho
for the equanimity of holders of stocks and
lovvaitis me lacier ran oi cue ciay inese sccuri
ties were thrown upon the market by the whole
sale. Stocks which have been speculative fa
vorites for a month were not the chief suffer
ers. Missouri Pailrlc, Xorfolk and Western and
Djllimorc and Ohio stocks were comparatively
well held, while the higher priied stocks which
arc selling high In proportion to the dividend
return showed larger declines. A late rally In
tho market made it evident how large an extent
short selling had to do with the losses, recov
eries reaching over a point In manv cases, while
the iron and steel stocks dosed 1 to 2 points
aboov last night's level for the leading mem
bers of the group. Total sales, D29.W10 shares.
There was no suth pressure manifest In the
bond market as In the stock market and stiong
points were manifest here and there. Total sales,
par value, SMUO.bOO. United States old Is de

At the Lieum last night Robert Mantcll pre
sented his new plav, "The Dagger and the
Cie.ss," whiili Is us paiadoxlcal as its name and
that's s.'.ing scmethii'g. It is a play .of tears,
blood, daggers, vengeance, tetiihutioii, hairo.v

The inaj' 1 portion of the audience seemed to

long life and certainly ilc.es not deserve to have.
Mr. M.ntell lias a fairly good company sur

"Outcasts of n Great City.
The conipan headed by Little Irene M.vers
pieseiiled "Outcasts of .1 (ireat Cit" before a
large and greatly pleast-d audience at the Ac a I
emy of Music last night.
'lids nflcinoou "Three Twins" will be presented
and tonight "Little Lord Fauntleroy."
"The Jolly Musketeers."
Ordinarily theatrical companies In these days
of stilugent railroad rales never tiansport more
than one car load ot scenery aiound the conn
try. Comparative!) .few even carry that much,
hut the Jefferson DeAngclis Opera company re
quire two baggage cars, each sixty feet in
length, to accommodate Hie larger amount of
scenery, properties, paraphernalia and novel elec
trical effects that are a distinct feature of "The
.folly Musketeer," to lie here at the Lyieum
tonight.
"The Dairy Farm."
Divid Low iv, Hie inujicnt critlo of the Flus
hing Press, in commenting on "The Dairy
Farm," widen will In- at the Lyceum Thursday
and Friday, sajs: "The production of such
pla.is as F.leanor Merron's 'Dairy Farm,' by
an admirable company ut the Illjou this week,
should go far towards dispelling Hie miasma of
vulgar Fiencli farces, and placing the "Zasas"
and "Saphos that are its atmospuere of the
American stage In their proper places. It is to
James II. Wallack Hut Hie American theater
going public is indebted for this refreshing pro
duction, which ionics like a draught of pure,
fresh air amidst Hie noxious vapois of a swamp.
'The Dairy Farm' Is said by all critics to lie
1 harming, delightful and uplifting. Artistically
It appeals simply and without any suggestion
of conscious superiority to intelligence and cul
ture. It makes no concessions to vulgarity or
bad taste, and )et It is over no one's head.
In short, it is a play for the masses and the
masses weliome it."

The work will be started today of repairing
tho grand stand and bleachers at Athletic park,
which are In a bad condition. Men have been
at work all week on the grounds, getting them
In condition for Monday's practice.
A despairing cry has gone up from Scranton
fandom that the team be not again dubbed the
"Miners." In view of the live New Lnglanders
already signed, one enthusiastic crank has sug
gested that Manager llurnham'a pets be tailed
"The Pilgrims,"
Of tho three new men Mclntj re Is the only one
known here, as he last scar plaved with the
Allentovvn Atlantic) league team, lie Is a fast
fielder and a good batsman. O'Brien tomes from
..ewport. of the New England league, lie Is a
left-hande-d hitter, fast on his feet and a lively
plaj er.
I'itcher Wllhclm, last jeur with Lancaster,
was Saturday released by Hie I'ittthiug man
agement. He plajrd in the National league
towards the end of last )car. Manager lliirn
ham Sunday wired him for bis terms to play
here, but was too late, as the hard hitting
twlrler had been already iljned by Sjracuse.
Fleming, last )car with New -rk, the
traik young outfielder, has signed with the
Philadelphia Athletics, and it likely to captain
the team In place of "Dlik" C'ooley, who will
go to Jersey City, and manage and captain
that nine, Morgan Murphv, another candidate
for the managership of the Athletics, will not
I come, to terms, and It looks ui though Mor-
gan Is fated to do a repetition of his famous
bench warming act.
Ferguson is from Itockford, HI., of the West
ern association, and Manager llurnham has been
after him for several jears. He can play both
the infield and outfield, is quick on the bases,
a hard bitter and a sure fielder. The signing of
Ferguson does away with any chance of Peter
F.agan, the old Scranton outfielder, who was
considered for tho position, being signed, AH
of the plajers have been ordered to report for
practice by next Monday.
Second llaseman J. J. O'llricn, who lias been
signed by Manager llurnham, last scar plaved
second base on Ilaltimorc and Pittsburg teams
and In U5 games fielded OlS per cent., stand
ing seventh among the sixteen second base
men wIki were last sear in the big league. On
account of Hie exullence of the infield ma.
terial at Pittsburg this jear, lie was Saturday
turned adrift and Manager Hiirnham almost Im
mediately communicated v.lth him.
Manager llurnham jesterday gave out the
names of three new players signed for the Scran
ton team. They arc F. O. Ferguson, who will
play left field, Charles Mclntyre, first hascniiti,
and, oddly enough, another .1. J. O'llricn, who
will be stationed at short field. This makes two
J, J. O'llrlens on the nine, tho second baseman
and shortstop. This rounds the team Into shape
and gives the following line-up: Catchers, Mil"
lerlck and Toft; pitchers, Miller and Kennedy;
first base, Mclntyre; second base, J. J. O'Hrien;
shortstop, J. J. O'llricn; third base, Doherty;
left field, Ferguson; center field, Knox; right
