They had the very best the hotel afforded and then moved on down Broadway. At Thirty-eighth street they played billiards and pool for an hour, after which Mr. Higgins paid the checks. At Thirtieth street they took a violent fancy to a line of $3.50 neckties in a window and were speedily fitted out. Mr. Higgins didn’t care for a $8.50 necktie himself, but be squared things with the cashier. At Twenty-fifth street the Albanians ran out of smoking material, dragged Mr. Byggins into a tobacconist’s and pur chased the very best cigars In the place. Once more the lieutenant gov ernor saw the cashier. The Albany men were having the time of their lives, but at the Flatiron building Mr. Higgins called a halt. “I bad a hundred dollar bill at For ty-second street, and now I only have $37 left,” he said ruefully, according to the voracious Kilburn. “If it cost a man $03 to come down from Forty- second street to Twenty-third what un der heaven would it cost him if he went all the way down to the Bat tery?” PRAYER IN BROKER'S OFFICE a man gives a check which is afterward destroyed, and possibly the man to whom the check was issued never claims the money. But this happens i so seldom that the profit from this i source is one to which no business man j would give serious consideration in ! figuring the possibilities of a season. But Uncle Sam,'on the contrary, can figure oat pretty well before the be ginning of the fiscal year that so many thousand dollars will be put to bis credit on the “profit and loss” account before the year is over. This will come from bonds. United States notes, treasury notes of 1890 and silver cer tificates destroyed and never presented for redemption, from unclaimed inter est on Interest bearing securities, abra sions of gold and silver coin, money orders which are lost and never du plicated, as well as the humble postage stamp which is not put to the use for which It was intended. The amount which the government makes in destroyed stamps each year is not determinable, but it undoubted ly amounts to many hundred dollars. The stamp collectors furnish a large revenue to the government, for they put uw'ay stamps at their face value, and the postotflee department is never required to perform the service which is represented in the purchase price. These profits are never cast up be cause debts of the goverument are sel dom outlawed, but they are as real as If they were credited to Uncle Sam on the books of the treasury depart ment. The value of missing United States interest bearing securities of the earli er Issues prior to and during the civil war on June 30 amounted to more than $1,000,000.

Miss Margret Fahey, 49 Adams St., Troy, N.Y., writes: “We have used Pe- runa in our family for years and am very pleased to say that it cured me of catarrh of the lungs when the doctors gave up all hope of my recovery. “I used Peruna for six months and at the end of that timemy cough had dis appeared,my appetite was much better, I iiad gained ten pounds and looked the picture of health. I am In perfect health, now, and feel that Peruna not only cures catarrh, but builds up the system and is therefore a grand medicine.”—Margret Fahey. Peruna cures the first stages of con sumption by removing the cause, which Is chronic catarrh. The catarrh having been cured the cough and other dis agreeable symptoms cease. Doctors Gave Him Up. Mr. Lewis Kitchen, 211 Worth street, Cincinnati, Ohio, writes: “I cannot hank you enough for the good your Mrs. Bertha South worth, Laurens, la., Treasurer W. C. T. U., and President Christian Workers of Laurens Christian Church, writes: •‘I was a sufferer from catarrh ot the lungs for years and my health » as In such a state that we were all very much alarmed over It. ! always had a little cough and the slightest cold would settle on my lungs and cause distress In breathing. I had night sweats, and a pain In my side continually. “I was greatly reduced In flesh, was very feeble and hud no appetite whatever. A fter trying many doctors and medicines, I finally took the ad- vice of a friend and bought a bottle of Peruna. ? •‘My delight was great when I found / was Im- I proving before the first bottle was taken. / used several more bottles and am now perfectly well, and have regained my weight and appetite. / am glad to say a good word for your medicine.’’— Bertha Southworth. Peruna has done me. About six months ago I could not leave my bod and the doctors gave me up, saying that I had consumption and could not live. Then a friend recommended Peruna to me, and I commenced using it. “When 1 started to use Peruna I weighed 117 pounds, now I weigh 172 pounds. I had been sick for ten years and was so sick that I could not turn over in bed. I think Peruna is the greatest med icine of its time. I am now feeling well and hearty and would not be without Peruna again.”—Lewis Kitchen. CATARRH CAUSES CONSUMPTION Pe-ru-na Never Fails to Cure Catarrh Wherever Located, T HE medical profession has so thor oughly prejudiced the minds of the people against patent medicines thst it is with great reluctance that anyone can be persuaded to try such a remedy at first. In nearly every one of the thousands of remarkable cures that Perona has made the patients had to be persuaded by friends very strongly before they could lay aside their prejudice against it. A large multitude, of course, hold out against the persuasions of friends and die simply because they have allowed their minds to lie poisoned against this very excellent remedy. But, fortunately, there is another large multitude of people who are able to shake off their prejudice and try Peruna before it is too late. These people are rarely disappointed. They generally try other remedies at the beginning of their troubles. They allow a cold to develop into catarrh of the head. They allow catarrh of the head to gradually become catarrh of the throat. They still use the doctor’s medicine or some other ineffectual remedy. The catarrh stealthily spreads down the bronchial tubes and reaches the lungs. Then they become alarmed. Faith In the doctor begins to disappear* The patient reaches a state of mind in which he is willing to try almost any thing. A bottle of Peruna is sent for. The first week It produces a decided change for the better. A few weeks* continued treatment cures the patient. Thousands of Testimonials. We have on file thousands of testi monials from people whom the doctors had given up to die with catarrh^of the lungs, but who were fully restored to health by the use of Peruna.

The Duty of the Christian World to the Heathen World. Certain parts of the worM, such as I opportunities they have abused them, every one million. There is no doubt but that there are multitudes born in this country who are heathen, but they are heathen from choice, having had A CHEROKEE NEWSPAPER. America and Europe, are classified in distinction from other parts, as “Christian.” They have long had the light and liberty which the gospel brings to those who receive and ac cept it. Such sections of the world have been far greater blessed than other sections contiguous or beyond them. In the providence of God, the whereas the heathen have never had an opportunity, it is said that every tick of a watch sounds the death knell of a heathen. If that be so, thous ands are daily teeming into hell, with out a single ray of light, or knowledge of the glorious gospel of the Son of God.

In the last fiscal year the only secnrfties listed ♦hove which were presented for redemption were bonds of the funded loan of 1891, one and two year notes of 1803 and com pound Interest notes. Some others may be presente4 In the future to be re deemed by the government, but It la safe to say that in all probability the larger portion will never turn up. One of the great sources of unearned Income to the government ts the de struction of thousands of notes Issued from the tre-sury which pass from hand to hand and reach all classes and after floating around for years are lost, worn out or destroyed. The amount of these unredeemed notes would be difficult to estimate. From the first issue, in 1861, to the present day the amount would reach mlTMons of dol lars. In the single item of what was known ns fractional currency and more vulgarly ns "shlnplasters,” which was Issued during the dvil war, there was outstanding on June 80 $15,245,188.21, of which the actuary of the treasury department estimates that $8,000,000 will never be presented, having been destroyed. The gold coin which Is presented for change at a subtreasury and which Is good on Its face for $20 Is returned to the owner In money of a different de nomination, but perhaps minus a dollar or more, due to its reduction In weight since It was minted. This difference, while never computed, Is a deer source of income. The carelessness which prevailed dur ing the war period was responsible, so treasury officials say, for * large amount of missing money. pel brings has been largely withheld from a large part of the world, and that part we call “heathen.” It is a principle of humanity that we giiould help those who are In desperate need, if in our power to do so. On this prin ciple it Is the duty of the Christian ihe Christian world, and this undoubt edly makes it her duty. C. G. Brown. The Cheroee Case.

This newspaper is probably the oldest west of the Mississippi river, having been established in 1844 by W. P. Ross, whose widow lives at Fort Gibson, says The Kansas City Journal. The Advocate is a curiosity. It Is printed half in English and half in Cherokee, the Cherokee side being printed in Cherokee characters. There are eighty-five characters in the Cher- okee alphabet and on that account a : printer’s case of type is quite different from that in English and is quite a complicated affair. There are In the (’herokee nation only five printers who are able to set this Cherokee 1 type for the newspaper. These five have a greater monopoly than any union or trust, but they have never been known to strike. Another peculiar feature about The Advocate is that its editor and man ager never has to w’orry about how business keeps up. The paper is a national institution and is supported by the nation, the council passing an appropriation every year for Its sup- port. The paper is distributed free to the fullblood Cherokees who can not read English. There are 1,000 copies sent to them every week. In ; addition to this, however, there are hundreds of copies sent out over the United States as a curiosity. This is the only publication that has ever been printed in Indian language, using Indian characters. In the other na tions of the Five Civilized Tribes a good deal of matter of interest to In dians is published in the Indian lan guage of that nation, but English char acters are used. Produce Market.
