Secretary Sherman is ngniu ut his
desk in theS!,atn I.'jvirlm:'iit, and
his fiat-footed declaration that this
government would not guarantee, to
Japan the execution of the de
cision nf t-ln) arbitrator who will
pass on tho controversy between
Japan nnd Hawaii shows that his
backbone is in tip ton condition. lie
snys li is little outing ami rest did
liim much pood nnd that if tin;
v.-eather in Washington remains as
pleasant us it has been for several
days he will not go nwny again this
summer. Secretary Sherman fays
he doe-m't think there is anything
in that story about Minister Bewail
having last week declared a pro
tectorate, over Hawaii, and that if
"Old Glory" has been raised over
th islands it was because some act
of tho Japanese had caused Minister
Sewall to consider sneh a course
necessary to avoid future, trouble
anil complications. Mr. S.tsvall has
authority to raise tho flig over
Hawaii at any time he may consider
it necessary.
Tho innovation of the. Navy De
partment', that our naval vessels
must be put to a better use, than be
ing made to servo as attractions at
seaside fashion resorts, will not
please tho young dancing officers
wlio havo found pleasure in posing
as summer resort mashers, hut it is
being strongly endorsed by men who
wished to seo our navy made as effi
cient as possible by practice in sen
drills. Tlioro has never been any
pood reason for making our navy an
adjunct of seaside society.
Bonn tor Gorman's little bluIT
about his not being a candidate for
re-election is regarded in Washing
ton as about tho poorest one he ever
luado and as indicating his despera
tion. Ho knows that thoro are, a
considorablo number of Democrats
in Maryland who intend to aid the
Republicans to elect ft majority of
the legislature, in order to b.i sure
that ho cannot bo returned to the
Senate.
Some of tho testimony in the
hearings, now going on, as to
vhother John Wodiloiburn & Co.,
should bo disbarred from practice
before the Patent Office has develop
ed a condition that ought to open
the eyes of everybody to tho man
ner in which those who become vic
tims of tho get-rieh-qiiiek-thiwigh-a
patent fevor, id von them by in
siduously worded advertisements
and circulars, aro being worked for
their hard earnod inonov, or the
money of their neighbors who art.'
caught by false reports made upon
their alleged inventions by unscru
pulous pa tout attorneys. Officials
of the Patent. Office have stated in
their testimony that only about one
half of the thirty seven hundred
odd applications for patents filed by
John Wedderburn fe Co., during the
past two years havo contained any
thing that was patentable, and that
tho portions that wore patentable in
many of the remainder were of suoh
a nature that it was partically im
possible for the invontor to over get
hack the money it cost him to get
tho patent. They further stated
that Woddorburh & Co., solicited
and got in many instances, addition
al foes for making applications for
foreign patent upon these devices,
which they knew, or should have
known were unpatentable ; also that
they sought to obtain, nnd did ob
tain, money for advertising them
for salo at a fabulous price when
they knew, or should havo known
that they were worthless.
Ex-Congressman Robert J. Trace
well, ef lml., has qualified as Comp
troller of tho Treasury. This is the
position that was hold under the
Cleveland administration by Roller
B. Bowler, -of Ohio, who obtained
some unenviable notoriety by set
ting himself up a.s higher authority
than the courts or an act of Con
gross, only to tumble ignominously
off his self erected pedestal. , Mr.
Tracewell is a very different sort of
an individual, and will perform the
duties of this important office in tho
same careful and thorough manner
that ho served his constituents in
Congress.
Hon. Bjnj. Butterworth, Com
missioner of Patents, is Uving up to
expectations in the matter of rais
ing the standard of practice before
tho Patent OJice. His latest and
most important move is an order
providing that a register shall be
kept of all persons entitled to prac
tice before that office, and estab
lishing rules under which attorneys
may get their names upon that reg
ister. In these rules Mnj. Buttor-
worth has gone to the extreme limit
of authority given him by the pre
sent somewhat unsatisfactory laws.
He has other reform ideas which
will require the sanction of Congress
before they can be carried out.
Ex-Secretary of State, John W.
Foster, has returned from his diplo
matic trip to Europpo in behalf of
the seal fisheries, unj expresses him
self as being entirely satisfied with
the result of his tjip. There will be
a conference iu Washington next Oot
olior.bet ween representatives of this
coantry, England, Russia and Japan.
AN OLD PHYSICIAN'S
Prescription For Chronic Catarrh
In Use Over Forty Years.
I oi ty years ago
Dr.Ilartman "grad
uated at the JelTer
son Medical Col
lego of Philadel.
phia and immedi
ately commenced
the practice of
r .; ,;t.r
m
medicine n ;sin-
k fifs lersville, l.nnens.
. tot- .i ill ii lv r-M.
t Subsequent ly he
practiced in Lan-
caster ( Mty,
unti! 2D years ago. He
then lectured on the subject of
medicine and chronic diseases in all
tho principal cities in the United
States.
During all the time the doctor lias
he.oTi a socialist in tho treatment of
chronic catarrh. He has probably
treated more cases of catarrh than
any other physician in tho world.
Several thousand jxwiple (suffering
from this stubborn disease) are con
stantly under his treatment, which
lie carries on by correspondence.
Tho remedy njxm which the doctor
relies for the cure of this vast mul
titude of people is Pe-ru-na. Pe
ru na is without doubt tho only re
liable internal specific for catarrh
yet devised by tho medical profes
sion. It cures catarrh wherever lo
cated catarrh of the head, catarrh
of the throat, of tho stomach, lungs,
liver, bowels, kidneys or catarrh of
the pelvic organs. Catarrh of these
various organs includes a host of
diseases known by tlitl'erenf names.
Pe-ru-na is not a patent medicine,
but the regular prescription ot a reg
ular physician in the regular prac
tice of medicine. The remedy Pe-ru-na
is manufactured only by The
Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing Com
pany, of Columbus, Ohio, whero it
is supplied to druggists all over the
United States. Any one suffering
from catarrh, severe or mild, acute
or chronic, in any organ or part of
the hnman body, should begin the
use ef Pe-ru-na at once. If at any
time during the treatment, the pn
tient wishes to ask any question of
Dr. Hartman concerning any detail
of disease or treatment he should
write the doctor, who will promptly
answer freo of charge.
Everybody should hnvo n copy of
one of Dr. Hartman 's freo books on
chronic catarrh. Tho doctor has
lately written a book on pelvic ca
tarrh, to which women are especially
liable. Sent freo to women only.
"The. Ills of Life," sent freo to all,
gives a short diseription of all ca
tarrhal diseases. Address The Pe-ru-na
Drug Manufacturing Co., Col
umbus, Ohio.
Chamberlain's Colio, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy always affords
prompt relief. For sale by Drag-
gists ant! General Merchants in Pike
County.
Sudden Death.
Wednesday August 4th, a man,
about liH years, was noticed on the
streets hero, and later observed sit
ting along the sidewalk near the
Court House on a stone. That night
he slept in the lockup, and was
around again daring Thursday, and
that evening entered tho Dispatch
office where, his enfeebled condition
taring observed, he wa-s given .food
and shelter by tho kind-hearted em
ployees of that paper and allowed to
remain all night. Friday morn'ng
ho seemed very weak in body And
wandering in mind and was given
food and coffee. Starting to walk
down stairs he suddenly collapsed
and died.
Ho had given his iiiihm as Patrick
Hall or Wall and stated that he had
residetl at Long Kddy with Sarah
Comfort to whom he wrote tho day
preceding his death. Ho also said
that at one time he was employed on
the Erie and had received an injury
on his head, which bore evidence of
tho fact, and had worked for Dr.
VVrighter, of Otisville, N. Y. Cor
oner Geigor examined the body but
found nothing of value or anything
by which the man could Ikj identified,
and as his death was evidently duo
to natural causes no inquest was
Held.
A small bottle which was labelled
laudenuni was found in his pocket
ijjnpty, but it had lxwn purchased
some tune ago. A telegram was
sent to Long Eddy to tho person to
whom ho hail written, and the re
mains were placed in charge of Hor
ton v Wood, undertakers. Subse
quently ft dispatch saying "Cannot
oome. Bury remains there. Write
me particulars" was received from
Surah Comfort, and accordingly the
body was interred by tho overseers
of the poor in Muford cemetery on
Saturday last.

NOTES OF FESTIVITIES.
The Town U Hay With Song nml ltntiei..
Hups and Kuir.
The pas; litis been a lively week
in town and gayefy has had a
charming reign, intcrmiimled with
other occasions which . have lent
their interest and Horsed to dispel
ennui whieh might have been loiter
ing around.
'1 he events opened lust Friday
night rtt tlie Bluff House with a hop
svhich was svell attended nml fully
enjoyed. Saturday cs'eninir a curd
party svns gis-en nt the Jardon
(louse svhich furnished an evening
of amusement. St. Patrick's cluirch
field a social in Brown s H.ill Tues
day evening svhich ssas la rials' at.
tended and the receipts sntrslitcfrrry.
' Wednesday evening a hall was en
joyed nt the Crissman House which
svas participated in by the cuewts
and numbers from the town. No
one who has ever attended an event,
nt. that, popular hotel need be told
that everything svas just as it should
be for such is nlsvays tlie fuse, and
this speaks volumes. Tlrursdav
evening a ball at the Jardon House
sITorded those present a highly en-
joyalile occasion. 1 lie host and
hostess are adepts at furnishing en
tertainment and cannot be sur
passed in that sphere.
The fair and festival at the Pres
byterian Cluirch occupied Thursday
and Friflav, which afforded oppor
tunity to dispose of tho cumbersome
shekels iu a good cause. This Fri
day ever. ing Marie Louise (-lumaer,
assisted by Miss Jones, will give mi
evening of song at Brown's Hull
svhich will please the most fastidious.
The former is -well known person -naily
in this section, and those who
have once hound her splendid voice
will not fail to attend.
To-morrow evening the Sasvkill
Honso will entertain at a bull, and
the time will be far too short for
those who attend. The reputation
of that well known house ensures
all of pleasure which can bo crowded
in n few short hours.
After such a round of pleasure and
ontortainment all will desire to
spend a quiet Sabbath, and the doors
of the churches will be svide open
for admission to the people, and all
will be welcomed to tho sanctuaries.
When the Shoe Pinches.
A would be prominent citizen
hopes there will a reaction not . iu
against tlie Lay ton correspondent
ot tho Pike C'o"kty Prkss. Why?
becauso he thinks other peoples
business is meddled with too much.
If ho will cite one single instance
whero a criticism has been aimed at
anyone unjustly or without good
ground therefor, then will sfo pub
licly apologize, and bog the pardon of
that one. Our criticisms are invari
ably directed nt somo patent wrong-,
doing or fraud, and m the interest
of better morals, and the public wel
fare. Will he claim that a little
light thrown on his own question
able practices is not acting as a de
terrent to further indulgence If -it
does then wo ha ve done him his
family and tho public, generally a,
service. We intend there shall be
no stinging sarcasm, or caustic re
ference to any ono if possible to
avoid it and we must all expect per
sonal preferences to be abrogated to
some little extent when a great pub
lic, good is in the balance. Yes, sve
too hope a re-action svill set in, hut
we also hope it will be towards morn
morality, ami better practices. This
would be better than smuggling
facts to protect those who have no
incentive but to degrade themselves,
and their families. You will please
make a note that this is ono of tho
duties of a correspondent and with
most of them as with us it is bne of
the unpleasant duties that may not
bo shirked. One can not nlsvays
lay on taffy and be truthful, and if
he could it would soon cloy like a,
dint of candy or other sweets. We
think you may trust, the Pkkss to bo
on the right side of such questions
every time, nnd all tho vear round.

A Rematksbte Cure of Chranx Diarrhoea.
In lNti2, when I served my coun
try as a private in Company A, 167th
Pennsylvania Volunteers, I con
tracted chronic diarrhoea. It has
given me a great deal of trouble
ever since. I havo tried a dozen
different medicines and several
prominent doctors without any per
manent relief. Not long ngo a friend
sent me a sample bottle of Cham
berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar
rluxiiv Remedy, and after that I
bought and took a. 50 cent bottle ;
and now lean say that I am entirely
cured. I cannot be thank! ul enough
to you for this great Remedy, and
recommend it to all suffering veter
ans. If in doubt write me. Yours
