TERRIBLE ITCHING.
Eczema Affected Whole System?Unable
to Rest Night or Day?Suffered
4 Years?Cuticura Cures.
i "1 suffered severely for four years from
poison oak and ivy. My condition was
Serious, as ?. could not rest night or day
and be free from a terrible itching sensation
from scratching on my hands between
the fingers, my feet and face. I got the
best of advice and treatment from six diffet-ent
doctors who were anxious to cure
me. One of the doctors told me that when
the poison was cured, eczema (a worse
Jisease) would follow, which became true.
My eyesight was affected, and 1 went to
i hospital especially for the eyes and got
relief, but eczema got a terrible hold on my?
lystem. I was about to give up all hope of
ever being cured, yet I could not be reconciled
to such results, as my health had been
good and fres from any disease all my life.
My age is seventy-three years. In my extremity
I happened to read of Cuticura
Remedies for skin diseases. I was anxious
?bout my condition and desired to evade
tiny spurious imitation. This was in July,
V>06, and 1 called on a certain druggist
for the Cuticura Remedies. 1 bought fivo
boxes Cuticura Ointment, also some Cuticura
Soap and Cuticura Pills as I required
them.. In four weeks' treatment my face
was smooth, and the itching gradually
left my hands and feet and 1 could rest
comfortably, for which I am grateful and
flippy.. W. Field Cowen, Justice of the

SYNOPSIS OF HER TESTIMONY
Abe Hummel Xot Permitted 10 Provi
Document Which the Prisoner'!
Wife is Alleged to Have Signe<
in His Law Office.
New York City.?The cross-exam
i ination of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw wai
conciuaea at me iriai oi uer uusuauu
Harry K. Thaw, for the killing o
Stanford White, and the young worn
an left the stand without having t(
answer any further questions abou
I the affidavit she is alleged to hav<
j made on her return from Europe 01
October 2S, 1903, in which she is sak
to have accused Thaw of many cruel
ties. When Mrs. Thaw left the stand
her appearance was in no wa;
changed from that of the morning o:
February 7, when she first began t<
tell in direct examination the ston
of the wrong she said she had re
ceived at the hands of Stanforc
White. Altogether she had beei
about six court days in the witnes;
chair and of these she was under th<
fire of Mr. Jerome's cross-examina
tion for more than three.
Abraham H. Hummel, a disbarrec
lawyer, by whom District Attorne]
Jerome hopes to prove that Evelyi
Nesbit Thaw signed a statement be
fore a notary public retracting hei
charg'es against Stanford White an<
alleging that she was beaten with i
cowhide by her husband, was the firs
witness called. '
Only a few feet in front of thi
disbarred lawyer sat Evelyn Thaw
prim and sedate, in her schoolgirl at
tire. The young woman, who had de
. scribed Hummel as an "ugly littli
man with warts," gazed at him un
flincliingiy as Mr. jerome xriea i<
elicit from him testimony that woul<
show the vital points of her story, th(
chief bulwark of the defense, to b<
false.
t After some sparring between coun
sel, Hummel was allowed to'testif;
that Evelyn Thaw came to his offlci
on October 27, 1903. He had an ac
quaintance with her extending t<
1901 or 1902, he said. He was thei
asked if she had dictated the affidavi
on which so much hinges, bu
Delphin M. Delmas objected to tli<
question and he was not allowed t<
answer at once.
Mr. Delmas parried nearly ever;
question Mr. 'Jerome asked and th<
prosecutor was finally compelled
direct Hummel to leave the stand.
Finally Jerome called Evelyn Ne3
1 bit Thaw back again to the chair.
From the maw of his black bag hi
fished out the young wife's owi
schoolgirl diary, written by her bacl
in 1902, when she entered the D.
Mills Seminary over in New Jerse:
on money furnished xby Stanfoti
White. It had been put into lii:
i hands by Evelyn Thaw's own mother
Jerome read the five extracts fron
the little book. Plainly he hoped b;
quoting the girl's words to cast a sin
ister shadow upon her viewpoint c
life at that period?six months afte
J she said Stanford White had wronge<
I her in his room of many mirrors
' What he did succeed in showing wa
! that Evelyn Nesbit knew more abou
I Broadway than most girls, of sixteei
I know.
I It was Jerome's valedictory stroke
' When he had got the diary into evi
| dence, and had asked a few fina
; questions to close up a few raggei
ends of evidence, he announced tha
i the cross-examination of Harr;
j Thaw's wife was practically ended.
Five days of severe questioning b;
the prosecutor had failed to shak
1 her remarkable testimony, and tb
; girl wife stepped off the stand smil
i ing.
Prior to this the District Attofne;
! had demonstrated that as Evelyn Nes
bit was not above taking a letter o
credit to Europe as a gift of th<
architect, whom she professed to hati
and loathe, she was also conten
after her return from her unmarrie*
travels with Thaw in Europe to livi
in high priced New York hotels upoi
j Harry Thaw's bounty even at thi
I time when she was surrenderinj
Thaw's letters to Hummel, was listen
! ing to and believing the stories of hi
perfidy and brutality toward othe
women and was once more enjoyinj
the friendship and hospitality o
; Stanford White, her story of whosi
I cruelty to her, she avers, had drivei
I Thaw to desperation when she tol<
t him its details in Paris.
One of the witness' most surprisinj
! admissions was her constantly reiter
! ated assertion that, even after sh<
j had made her Paris confessions t<
Thaw concerning her former relation
; with Mr. White, Thaw, though hi
i showed anger and indignation, mani
j fested in her opinion no signs of in
sanity.
Mr. Jerome brought out the fac
j that when these confessions of her:
; were made to Thaw in Paris am
I when she had refused to marry hin
i she was already sharing the sam?
I apartments wittf him, and that the;
subsequently had traveled ove
j Europe together, living for a tim<
in the Katzenstein Schloss, in thi
Austrian Tyrol, where Thaw is al
leged to have whipped her with ;
cowhide, according to the statemen
from which Mr. Jerome read anc
framed his questions.

Is of friends at Chestnut Hill. The
s President went to the home of Dr. W.
;s S. Bigelow and ate breakfast with a d
d few personal friends. "j
e Half an hour after breakfast Mr. ?
,r Roosevelt had become a godfather of
the child of his Rough Rider and
o Harvard friend, Guy Murchie. After r.
i- that there was a visit to the rooms of
a well known publishing house, where
e Mr. Roosevelt was absorbed for a
i] time in examining some rare volumes, ^
and an automobile drive with Dr.
:s Bigelow to Chestnut Hill, where Mr.
? Roosevelt saw his wife and daughters jr.
ie before their departure for Groton to ~
o see the President's son, Kermit, after f*
il which he made a brief call on Mrs.
Lee, the mother of his first'wife, then p
a motor car journey across the
Charles to Cambridge.
Mr. Roosevelt stopped at a pubc.
lishing house to look at some 'more
valuable volumes, and incidentally to ^
transact some personal business as an Dl
ll. author. Then he went to the Sphinx,
r- Club, a private organization of Har- 01
;a vard students, of which his son is a
i- member, and partook of luncheon.
ie Among those present were Congress- 11
1. man Longworth and Assistant Secre- j*
g tary Bacon. M
t- The principal event of the day was pi
se President Roosevelt's address to the
l6 Harvard students in the afternoon at
the Harvard Union, founded by Major ?*
r- Henry L. Higginson,the Boston bank- ?.
d er, as an institution which all Har- u
!e vard men could join. Two thousand
id Harvard men, mostly undergrad?
uates, gathered in the great living
e, room of the union and gave the Presi- H
1 dent a rousing reception.
In his address he discussed some
3S subjects that have bean rhoot points
ts at the university for some time, and ?!
ie did it with such frankness that many S'
il of his hearers were astonished. iD
t. He characterized the proposal to bl
jl abolish football and other rough
r sports as "simple nonsense." He did 01
t* not think Harvard should turn out A
C "mollycoddles." President Eliot has e:t
favored the discontinuance of foot- tl
" ball, iasketball and hockey until 'N
b those sports are placed upon a reform
d basis, on the ground that they are P*
te rough and sometimes brutal. C
In speaking generally Mr. Roose- G
velt replied to'State rights arguments
3, .which recently have been brought o)
against him. He held that corpora- g
> tions and others were trying to but- U
tress wrongs behind State rights and fc
said that the Nation would not perl?
mit it. aj
Is "Railway corporations," said Presi- in
dent Roosevelt, "will gain and not m
r* lose by adequate Federal control; di
is most emphatically, it is both the duty lc
and the interest of our people to deal t^
fairly with such corporations and to as
' see that a premium is put upon the M
e- honest management of them, and that n
those who invest in them are amply cl
x protected. But those who invoke the bi

i- they have not the ability to curb the
g power of syndicated wealth, and, ,
therefore, in the interest of the peose
pie, it must be done by national ac- n
% tion." c
Upon leaving the Union President
Roosevelt made a personal call at the
;e home of President Charles W. Eliot,
r- jwho is absent in Canada delivering j}
a series of addresses. Then he was jE
i- taken in an automobile to the Hasty r?
Pudding Club, where a reception was r
held, and after that called upon his o]
son in the latter's apartments in the j,]
.f Dunster Dormitory. He returned to jj
Boston, and was the guest of Bishop ^

t- ing he returned to Cambridge and s.
it took part in a gathering at the Porcei

pecial, the famous 'New York-Chiago
el'ghteen-hour train of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, left the tracks at
[ineral Point, near Johnstown, at
1.45 o'clock p. m., rolled down sixty
set of embankment and crashed
tirough the almost solid ice of the
ionemaugh River, the stream that

Imost two decades ago.
The remarkable feature is that not
ne of the more than 100 persons on
le train was killed outright. Fifty
f the injured are at the hospitals in
lis city, Altoona and Johnstown.
It was the most unexpected thing
lat happened.
A new piece of track had been put
1 at this point a short time ago. Intead
of the ordinary wood crossties
le track was supported on steel ties,
) which the rails are bolted. One of
lese bolts, the railroad men say,
ave way, the rails spread and the
ain, running around a curve at
:xty miles an hour to make up lost
me; was thrown to the river.
When the heavy train went over
le embankment everything went be

or that i*egion it was hours before
le outside world could be communiited
with and assistance sent to the
ijured.
In the meantime they were hudled
together, many of them devoid
I any but night clothing, others with
hat clothing they did have soaked
ith the Icy waters of the Coneaugh,
and still others with blood
om their wounds congealing over
leir bodies.
It did not seem out of place that
hen assistance did- arrive and a speial
train was started for Pittsburg
arly next morning with the unhurt
nd those of the injured who were
ble to continue on their journey the

Episcopal Church, of Philadelhia,
assembled all together in one
ir and there conducted one of the
ost solemn services of thanksgiving
lat has ever been held. Mo3t of the
assengers were still without clothing
nd were wrapped in blankets and
edclothes.
"Let us give thanks to the Lord
ir God that our lives have been
>ared," said the pastor as he opened
te brief service. "Our presence here
i the flesh at this time is nothing
tore than an act of providence. So
it us utter thanks to Him who has
emitted us to live."
Then down on their knees went the
irvivors and the fervent "amen" of

uatemala, who said:
"TKo TLUriiafor c\f T?nro?frrt Affairs
E Honduras telegraphs that Nicaraua
by its invasion of Honduras has
irminated the pending negotiations
>r a pacific settlement."
The situation is most peculiar. It
jpears that there is a strip of land,
. some places twenty-five or thirty
iles wide, along the frontier that is
Isputed territory. The boundary has
?ng been a bone of contention beveen
the two countries. Nicaragua
3serts that the crest of the Colon
.ountain range marks the end of
icaTaguan territory. Honduras deares
that the Wanks River, a num^r
of miles to the east, is Honduras
irritory. Between these two points
the disputed strip of land. The
oops of tne two countries nave moilized
around this territory, so when
lere is an advance each side cau
aim that it is still in its own terriiry.

DEATH MINI DISEISl
Tuberculosis and Pneumonia at i
Top of List of Fatal Afflictions.

Army of Cancer Victims GrowingDisease
Takes Seventh Place in
"United States?Mortality Table.
Washington, D. C.?Out of only
two-fifths of the population of the
United States more than half a million
lives were offered up in 1905 as a
sacrifice to disease. Startling as
this death rate may seem it was less
than that for the preceding year, bul
was in excess of the number ol
deaths registered for any other year.
The death rate from nephritis and
Bright's disease, apoplexy, cancer,
diabetes and appendicitis is increasing,
while that from old age, bronchitis,
convulsions, peritonitis and
scarlet fever is decreasing.
The greatest death rate recorded
for any one disease in 1905 was that
from pulmonarytuberculosis, amounting
to 56,770, while pneumonia folows
closely with a death rate of 39,!)68,
exclusive of broncho-pneumonia.
The much dreaded cancer shows a
steadily growing death rate, the
figures being 24,330.
The above are the more interesting
facts brought out in a report Issued
Dy the Census Bureau, giving the statistics
of mortality for 1905* The
statistics ifi this report are restricted
to States in which the laws requiring
the registration of deaths have been
accepted as giving practically complete
mortality returns and to cities
in non-registration States in which
satisfactory returns are required by
tne local autnoriues.
This registration area in 1905 consisted
of ten registration States, the
District of Columbia and 123 registration
cities in non-registration
States. The ten registration States
were Connecticut, Indiana, Maine,
Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire,
New Jersey, New York, Rhode
Island and Vermont. The population
of the entire area in 1900 was 30,765,618,
representing 40.5 per cent.,
of the total population of the United
States.
The total number of deaths reported
from the various kinds of diseases
in 1905 aggregated 545,533, and
those for the preceding year amounted
to 551,354. On a percentage basis
the death rate was in 1905 16.2
in each 1000 of population. The following
figures show the death rates
per 1000 of the reguistration States
for 1905:
Connecticut, 16.5; District of Columbia,
20.5; Indiana, 12.8; Maine,
16.2; Massachusetts, 16.8; Michigan,
13.5; New Hamshipre, 17; New Jersey,
15.8; New York, 17; Rhode Island,
17.1, and Vermont, 17.
The causes, with their rates, to
which twenty or more deaths per'
100,000 of population were attributed
in 1905, ranked, according to number
of deaths per 100,000, are as follows:
Tuberculosis of lungs, 168.2;
pneumonia, 150.1; heart disease,
132.5; diarrheoa and enteritis, 116.7;
nephritis and Bright's disease. 114.3;
apoplexy, 72.2; cancer, 72.1; accidental
traumatisms, 42.1; old age, 36.4;
meningitis, 34.5; bronchitis, 33.5;
premature birth, 32.9; congenital debility,
31.5; typhoid fever, 28.1, and
diphtheria and croup, 23.8.
Cancer ranks seventh among the
various causes of death. Of the 24,330
deaths from this disease, 9189
were of males, while 15,141 were of
females.
LONGFELLOW HONORED.
Celebrations of the Poet's Birthday in
Maine and Boston.
Boston, Mass.?The love 'in which
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow is held
was given expression throughout New
England by exercises commemorating
the 100th anniversary of the poet's
birth. In Maine, w?ere the poet was
born, and in Massachusetts, where
he spent many of the most important
years of his literary life, the principal
public observances were held, but
there was scarcely a public school or

HARRIMAX ATTACKS FISH. '
Says He "Looked Upon Illinois Central
as His Personal Property."
Netv York City. ? Overshadowing
all developments having any direct
bearing upon the subject-matter of its
inquiry into the management of the
Harriman railroad empire, the Interstate
Commerce Commission listened
to a bitter personal attack upon Stuyvesant
Fish, former president of the
Illinois Central Railroad, by Edward
H. Harriman, once Mr. Fish's closest
business associate, but now his foe.
Mr. Harriman-. charged; Mr. Fish
with having deposited half a million
dollars of the railroad funds with the
then shaky and now defunct Trust
Company of the Republic,'of which
he was a director, and asserted that
Mr. Fish had been forced by the Illinois
Central directors to withdraw
the money.
"He looked upon the Illinois Central
as his own personal property,"
said Mr. Harriman.

*Are we claiming too much for Peruna
when we claim it to be an effective
remedy for chromic catarrh?
Have we abundant proof that Peruna.
is in reality such a catarrh remedy?
Let us see what the United States Pis- ri
pensatory says of the principal ingredients
of Pernna.
Take, for instance, the ingredient
hydrastis canadensis, or golden sefel. ''
The United States Dispensatory says
of this .herbal remedy, that it is largely
employed in the treatment of depraved
mucous membranes, chronic
rhinitis (nasal catarrh), atonic dys
pepsia (catarrh gf the stomach), ,
chronic intestinal catarrh, catarrhal |
jaundice (catarrh of the liver), and
in diseased mucous membranes of the
pelvic organs. It is also recommended
for the treatment of Various forms,of
diseases peculiar to women.
Another ingredient of Peruna, coiydalis
formosa, is classed in the U&ited -
States Dispensatory as a tonic. So also
is cubebs classed as a stomachic and
as a tonic for the mucous membranes.
Cedron seeds is another ingredient
of Peruna, an excellent drug that has
been very largely overlooked by tho
medical profession for the jtyst fifty
years." The seeds are to be found In
very few drug stores. The United
States Dispensatory fcays of the action
of cedron that it is used as a bitter
tonic and in the treatment of dysentery,
and in intermittent diseases as ?;
substitute for qainine. Oil
of copaiba, another ingredient
of Peruna, is classed by the United
States Dispensatory as a mild stimalinf
