Sixty, one days were consumed by
the oruiser Brooklyn in making the

New York financial circles did not
disturb the Western farmer, serene in
the possession of a healthy bank ac

The cabinet has decided that the

"Shmlowl mis' Adopted.
New York, Dec. 28. At the trial of
Itoland D. Molineux yesterday a pro
test was made to Recorder Goff against
the policy of "shadowing" adopted by
the district attornoy. The jurors
claimed that a detective had been as
signed to each member and that the
"shadows" had allowed their zeal to
outrun their discretion. One of tho
Jurors told he recorder that he had
attended a Christmas tree festival, and
that his every movement about the
tree, even the actions of his children,
had ben closely watched. The juror
said it was a vexation that was rapidly
becoming intolerable. Another jury
man objected to the actions of the de
tective assigned to him In stealing up
to him while he was issuing orders to
his employes. Foreman Martin seem
ed to think that the entire range of
the domestic and business economy of
the Jurymen had been made the sub
ject of a close scrutiny by the am
bitious detectives. It Is said that Re
corder Goff told the jurors that he
ctild do nothing fur them, and that
they went away anything but pleased.
Assistant District Attorney Mclntyre
said that the precautionary action thus
taken was in the interest of justice and
the public good. It is understood,
however, that orders will be Issued to
the "shadows" to give the jurors as
little trouble as possible.

Chicago, Dec. 28. Comptroller of the
Cuneney Charles G. Dawes passed
throuph Chicago yesterday en routo for
Sprlnpfleld, wheio he will address a
gathering of state Republicans, Con
corning the recent financial panic and
present conditions he said:
"The general financial condition of
the cuuntry. as far as can bo judged
hy tho hanking situation, is sound and
stable. The recent flurry in the spec
ulative centors o the east was a nat
ural sequence of tho condition of last
Btlnimpr. when the west did not need
Its capital and deposited it in the banks
of the east In order to procure Inter
est on Its credit balances. The Im
mense accumulation there stimulated
illegitimate speculation ou stock ex
changes hnd bubbles of credit were
blown, which could not but burst at
the first disturbance In an abnormally
cheap money market. This disturb
ance commenced when. In order to
move Its crops and to furnish legiti
mate industry with proper funds, the
west commenced to call for its own.
"The situation was also aggravated
by the London money market and tho
prospect of gold shipments. Tho spec'
ulators simply had to liquidate and the
legitimate demands of Industry and
commerce had to be satisfied. There is
ample money in the country to provide
for legitimate buslnesj. The business
of the country was never more pros
perous nor the credit of the govern
ment better."

that sclenco has been able to euro in all lt

ease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's
Catarrh Cure Is taken internally, acting directly
upon tho blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the foundation of
the disease, and gh-lng the patient strength by
building up the constitution and assisting
nature In doing its work. The proprietors have
so much faith in its curative powers, that they

falls to cure. Send for list ot testimonials.

BROUGHT HACK FROM THIS GRAVE.
Last November Mr. loseph Tames,
painter, of 325 W. Pearl St., Indianapo
lis, Ind., was at death's door with quick
consumption. Wasted to a skeleton;
his lungs a mass of ulceration; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in a constant
stupor with opium. A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him a
bottle of Brazilian Halm, feeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised iis
continued use. Mr. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
on the Halm alone. His recovery was
rapid ..ud complete, and in February he
returned to work. His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as
almost a miracle.
COMMA IHCILLUS.
In consumption beware of cough mi:
tures and prescriptions that contain
opium. Opium paralizes the nerves,
and gives the comma bacillus a good
chance to destroy the lungs. It is
always fatal. Brazilian Balm does not
contain a trace ot any opiate, nut stimu
lates the nerves with new life and power,
destroys the microbe, and restores all
that is left of the di teased lungs to a
sound and healthy state which uo other
