GEXERAL SPORTING NEWS OP THE DAI
Everybody who had any idea that the six
day race now going on was in any way a
hippodrome or anything like it, conld have
been satisfied to the contrary yesterday at
noon. At the hour named the race was one
of the cruelist that las been seen in Pitts
burg. Despite the fact of the intense strug
gle that is momentarily going on many peo
ple think that the winner is already bought,
soldorbarcainedfor. Anybody who will for a
few minutes watch the poor wretches who are
wobbling round the track will soon be con
Tinced that there is nothing "solt" in the
contest. The writer can say positively
that every man on the track is here to win if
he can. There is not an inducement of any
shape or consideration offered to a contestant
to miss or neglect a yard or a mile. This ought
to end all the talk of all doubting Thomases.
There is not a man in the contest who is worth
backing who has knowingly been backed for a
cent The fact is nobody can reasonbly say
who the winner will be.
AN INTENSE STBUGGLE.
Yesterday the struggle was an intense one.
Little Sammy Day took the lead before mid
day, bnt was very tired when he did it. Hegel
man couldn't help it, and Sammy went to the
front entirely because of pluck and the resolve
to do without sleep. Day went on and on and
eventually covered 70 miles before he left the
track. This fact was worth mentioning be
cause it was an unusual thing.
During the afternoon the race was to some
extent between Day, Hegelman. Nbremac,
Connors and Cartwright. True there was a
danger now and then of Messier landing among
the winners. He never had, however, the
stamina to stick to a leading chance when he
had it. Sammy Day, who seemed to ignore
sleep altogether, kept everybody guessing. He
was on tbo track when the others were sleep
ing. Reallv this seems to be Sammy's only
salvation. If he can stay he will win, but he
can only do so by holding men down who have
faster gaits than he has. Cartwright is going
well, and so is Noremac. The latter has the
best attention on the track, and if be does not
get into rooaey it is not his fault nor his
trainer's. It seems safe to say that the
entry from Edinburgh will be near the front at
the finish. People interested in the race are
warnedibvagood judge to look out for Mes
sier, the Colorado man. The racing, so far,
has only aroused partisan feeling. There are
six men at least in the race who each have
friends who think they have winners named.
More than a score of inquiries have reached this
office asking ho we think will be the winner.
To stop any further postal card speculation we
Kay nobody can tell. We will take a reasonable
margin and may be left at that.
AN TJNCEKTAIN CONTEST.
Either Norcmac, Messier, Connors or Cart
wncht may be the winner. Of course an hour
makes many changes in a night and day race.
At any rate we cannot venture any more defi
nite opinion than the above. II Hegelman
wins it will be a surprise.
The crowd held out long after midnight, and
till the racing went on. Old Korman Taylor
' was an anxious and interesting feature. He
stated definitely that he was there to stay, and
at 1 o clock he looked like staying lor a weeE.
Yokum is surprising ever body. He is from
the Woods' Run stockyards, and so far has
given the talent to understand that he is a man
of stamina. Yokum has kept in line until now
almost. He has a big chest, and that means
considerable. It is a fact that fiat chested men
are not stayers. Heeelman is one of them.
All day yesterday the attendance was good.
Probably 4,000 people paid for admission. Not
a prominent man had declared a weakening
quality except uf eariness. and Connors com
plained of sore legs at midnight.
Hegelman was pegging away when midnight
approached. Many of the peds were looking
weary.
SAMMY TAKES THE LEAD.
At 1:30 Day, Dillon and Brown were the only
men on the track. Little Sammy was evident
ly trying to steal a mile or two while the others
ere sleeping. He passed Hegelman's mark,
203, at 1:31. and scored 3XL He then took front
Dlace. Day really makes his miles, that is
his good ones, when his opponents are
sleeping. Sammy seems to need less sleep
than an) body in the race. So far ho has not
slept three hours. He jlods on good naturedlv,
and remarks that he "needs the money."
Siebcrt complains of a bad knee. Cartwright
was resting for the tenth time, and couldn't
sleep. That is the difficulty. He cannot sleep,
ami it may ruin his chances. Following was
the score at 2 o'clock:

A Colombia Challence.
New Haven, Conn., April 9. Some weeks
ago the Yale freshmen challenged the Colum-
b a freshmen to a two mile race over the New
London course. 1 he captain of the Columbia
crew notified Yale to-day that such a race was
not desirable, but that the Colnmbia freshmen
J ho are matched to row the Harvard fresh-
, men, would agree to admit Yale to that rao,
provided Harvard was willing. The Harvard
t boating authorities have for years refused K
' allow their freshmen to meet Yale at New Lon-

t to enter the Harvard-Columbia race.

SPECIAL IELIOBAM TO THI DISrATCH.1
St. Louis, April 9. The accession of
Robinson, Chamberlain and McCarthy en
abled the Browns to easily defeat the Pitts
burg team to-day. The game was marked by
hard hitting, some clever outfielding and
display of loose infielding. Chamberlain
was effective when he chose to be, and held
the visitors down to a few scattering hits
until the Browns had the game safe. Then
he let down and Kuehne and Maul gave the
outfielders some exercise. Staley was ham
mered around promiscuously, especially in the
seventh innine, when the hitting on the St.
Louis side became epidemic McCarthy was
the bright particular star of the day. He ran
the bases like a flash, and knocked out three
hits when hits were needed. Duffee took Cud
worth's place in center, and justified the good
impression he has already made. He dropped
one ball, but redeemed himself by throwing a
man out at the plate. Dunlap and Smith made
costly errors, and this rocky display was partly
atoned for by two fine long-running catches by
Nichols and MauL
Neither side scored for three innings then
the Browns got a man across the plate. A hit
by O'Neill, a sacrifice by McCarthv and "Pop"
Smith's error did the business. In tho sixth
the Browns gathered three on Latham's base
on balls and safe hits by Robinson, O'Neill and
McCarthy. Pittsburg made one in the same
inning on Maul's base on balls, a steal, a passed
ball and Kuebne's hit In the seventh the
Browns hit Staley hard.
A single and double by Milligan, Dunlap's
muff of a thrown ball. Chamberlain's two-bagger
and singles by O'Neill and McCarthy netted
the Browns seven runs. Smith and Nichols
both juggled balls and helped St. Louis along.
In the same inning Maul and Lauer were given
bases on balls and errors by Milligan and Duffee
and Dunlap's hit brought them home. Kuehne
made the circuit In the ninth on abase on balls,
Nichols hit and Fuller's error. Beckley's
double in the ninth, Dunlap's sacrifice. Maul's
base on balls, Knehne's hit and Robinson's
wild throw netted Pittsburg two runs. The

rsrSCIAL TELEOBAM TO THE DISPATCIM
Brooklyn, April 9. Tho second game be
tween the Chicago and All America teams at
"Washington Park to-day was a better contest
than that on the day before. The 25 cent ad
mission charge and a pleasant afternoon served
to increase the attendance to 3,710. The teams
appeared on the field with the same uniforms
on as the day before, but there were some
changes in the positions of the men. Anson
played in his old position at first, while Tener
and Daly were his battery.
Crane did the pitching for the All Americas,
but he did not exert himself; in fact, all of the
All Americas seemed somewhat rocky after
the banquet of the night before and played a
listless sort of game and made costly errors in
abundance. Ward especially was. off in his
play, and was directly or indirectly responsible
for two of the Chicago's runs. Earle caught
Crane with a fair degree of snecess.
At midnight last night the Spalding party
left for Baltimore, where they will play to-morrow.

A most exciting and closely contested base
ball match between the classical and business
departments of the Holy Ghost College was
witnessed last evening, at the Exposition Park
by a select and deeply interested audience.
The attention and eagerness of the players of
both sides showed how much it was held as a
point of honor tn mount the highest score on
the occasion. Final results, however, proved
after two hours' hard fighting tbat the classical
students can for the present hold their own,
having obtained the mastery by a slight ad
vantage under the able captaincy of Jas.
Quinn, seconded by J. Gillen and Eugene
Reilly and the brothers Johnston. Captain
Lauer, for the business course, admirably sup
ported by H. Meyer and Geo. McCarthy, dis
played excellent skill and prudence in the dis
posal of the plavers. The return match is to
be played next Friday week.

rPFECTAL TELEGRAM TO TI1E DIS PATCH. 1
Cincinnati, April 9. An exciting encoun
ter formed the windnp at the ball park this
afternoon. Cleveland seems to be Cincinnati's
Jonah, and both teams are out for blood every
time they meet. In the ninth inning Gilks.who
had won the game, accused Mullanc of trying
to hit him with the ball, and threatened to
hammer him with a bat if be .plugged him.
After the game Gilks was in the club house,
and when Mullane advanced be grabbed a bat.
Slipping on the floor of the bath room he fell,
and Mullane easily took the bat away from
him, and. Gilks clalms,punched him in the face
with his foot.

President Nimlck'a Opinion.
President Nimick had a few words to say
yesterday abont the local club. An that he
said, however, was in a negative way. His ex
pressions went to prove that Smith will he kept
here and that Ward has not been asked for.
He is satisfied with the work of the local
players. He always was an admirer of Nichols
and is proud to see that the Wheeling youth is
doing so elL
Some Kickers Pacified.

Robinson received $2,600 and nowhe gets $2,700.
Chamberlain received $2,200 last year this year
receives an increase. McCarthy received J1.G00

Comlskey talked Jbe players into a compromise

SEARLE'S CHALLENGE.
The Australian LonvInB His Country to Win
Great Laurels.
Btdnet, N. S. W., April 9. Henry Searle,
the Australian oarsman, will leave Sydney on
May 4 for England. On his arrival there he
will issue challenges to John Teemer, the
American oarsman, and Wm. J. O'Connor, the
Canadian oarsman, to row on the Thames for
$2,500 each and the championship of the world.
Irrespective of challenges either from Searle
or O'Connor, it does not follow that champions
are even by custom compelled to leave their
native waters to row for the championship of
these waters. Teemer is champion of the
United States and certainly has a just claim to
be defeated for that title on United States
waters. Of course the championship of the
world is another matter, but the McKeesport
man need not forfeit the title thatho now holds
even if he does not row Searle on the Thames.
The fact is O'Conuor is now champion of
Canada and America, but O'Connor cannot
possibly be the United States champion simply
because he is a Canadian.
However, it may and it may not be, that
Teemer will meet Searle on tho Thames. The
Teemer people got their pocket books emptied
at Washington, and Teemer is in hope of secur
ing three races with Gaudanr during June.
Beside these he has engagements made for
general contests that take place far into the
summer. If Searle is eager for a world cham-
Sionsbip race, doubtless he will extend his con
itions, at least those mentioned in the cable
gram above.
CRIT DAYIS IN TOWN.
The Famous Horseman Tells of feome Fly
era He Baa.
Crit Davis, the well-known trotting horse
owner and trainer, passed through the city yes
terday. Of course Cnt needs no introduction
to the trotting horse public He is known from
Maine to Calif ornia. as the saying is. He had
charge of Prince Wilkes, recently sold to for
eign parties for $30,000. and he was just return
ing from New York after seeing the famous
trotter shipped. Said Crit: "I have a pacer
that will do 2:14 or 2:15 at an early day and tbat
will surprise some people. He is ohly 5 years
old. I have also a trotter, and I think I may be
able to give the world another star before this
year dies.
"When Prince Wilkes leftHarrodsburg, Ky.,
letmetPll you there was a greater demonstra
tion of feeling than anything the people there
ever saw. Everybody mourned the loss of such
a great horse, and yet they were proud to see
that Kentucky stock was so valuable. It was
really a great day. However, we have more
good ones left, and I have about 30 in my string.
The world will hear from them."
Ed Barry Dead.
Edward Barry, the well-known local pugilist,
died yesterday at Mercy Hospital pf pneu
monia. Barry was one of the best known
young men in the city, not only as a boxer but
as an .employe of the fire department.
While he was never a first-class
pugilist, he was always acknowledged as
a plucky and an honest one. He at
one time struggled for the middleweight cham
pionship of Pennsylvania. The writer was bis
umpire when he was cruelly blinded with white
pepper when he fought and whipped Jim Don
nelly easily. Barry was a generous-hearted
young fellow, and had many friends. He was
a schoolmate of Jim Keenan, of the Cincinnati
ball club.

Colonel W. D. Moore was tb'e speaker of the
evening. Colonel Moore spoke of the pro

laws, and said that it was only a step further in
the same direction.
He mentioned a recent meeting of brewers,
wherein it was stated that the liquor men could
buy up all the votes they wanted. He scored
the meeting, and referred to the one who made
the statement as a "Dutch beast," asserting
that the meeting was not held under the sanc

speech was made in English, and, he added.
Thank God, it was broken English, at thatl"

THE, PITTSBTTRG DISPATCH; "IWEDNESDAY,
M'BEIDE FOR PEACE.
The Pennsylrania and Ohio Coal
Operators Very Positively
EEF0SE TO DEAL WITH KKIGHTS.
They Make a Proposition to the Progressive
Union, Which is
FAYOEED IN AS OFFICIAL ADDRESS.
An Important Conference Will be Held In Pittsburg
Monday Kelt.
The Pennsylvania and Ohio coal operat
ors have refused to treat with the Knights
of Labor. A proposition has been made to
the Progressive Union. Only a slight re
duction has been contemplated, and the
joint association is to be revived. Presi
dent McBride has issued an address strongly
advising the miners to accept the offer.
The matter will probably be adjusted at a
conference to be held in Pittsburg next
Monday.
rSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE SISPATCH.1
Columbus, April 9. The coal miners of
Ohio held a meeting here to-day in response
to a circular sent ont by District 135,
Knights of Labor, showing a" disposition to
harmonize the differences in the event of
the failnre of the Miners' Progressive Union
to fix a scale. Mr. Dempster, of Pittsburg,
represented the Knights of Labor and pre
sented their case. His proposition was to
meet the operators in joint convention and
endeavor to fix the scale for the ensuing
year.
The matter was discussed for some time,
and the operators finally decided to have
nothing to do with the Knights of Labor.
The operators then proceeded to prepare a
proposition for submission to the Miners'
Progressive Union, and appointed a com
mittee for that purpose. In brief, it now
looks as if the proposition would meet with
favor and that the scale for the ensuing
year will be fixed, and the inter-State agree
ment, which was dissolved at the recent
meeting, will be restored. A similar prop
osition has been made by the Pennsylrania
operators. John McBride received the
communication, and will present it to the
miners, in connection with that of the Penn
sylvania operators.
A' CONFERENCE IN PITTSBURG.
The Miners' Union Executive Boards of
Ohio and the Western Pennsylvania dis
tricts will meet a committee of the operators
from the two States at Pittsburg next Mon
day, wnen nnai action win oe taken, xne
Pennsylvania operators will gain some ad
vantage, because the principal part of the
coal there is mined in summer for shipment
to the Northwest and the lake trade.
John McBride to-night prepared the fol
lowing to be issued to the miners at large:
Columbus, 0 April 9.
To-day the operators of Ohio and the Pitts
burg district have submitted the following
proposition upon the price of mining for the
next year:
Hocking Valley, 62 cents for the first six
months and 67 cents for the last six months.
Pittsburg district 71K and 76 cents for the
first and last half of the year.
At the late joint convention tho miners'
representatives offered as prices for
the year, Hocking Valley. 65 cents
and Pittsburg district 74 cents. The operators
refused to accept the proposition, and now tbat
they offer us a settlement upon a straight 2
cents per ton reduction below the rates which
have prevailed for the past two years, ana their
proposition being almost if not altogether the
equivalent oi the one made oy us. ! would
urge upon our miners, that the operatorsoffer
be accepted.
A FAVOEABLE OFFER.
I urge the acceptance of the operators' prop
osition, not because I believe any direct benefit
will accrue to the operators or miners by rea
son of such reduction, but because it guaran
tees, even with a continuation of dull trade
such as we are now having, peaceful and har
monious relations between miners and
mine operators, prevents an indiscrimi
nate light for advantage and insures
an adjustment of all disputes during the
coming vear by methods of arbitration and
conciliation. It will also re-establish the joint
movement of miners and operators, and this,
together with the absence of strife and bitter
ness which must come to many parts of the
competitive districts without an agreement, is
well worth our sacrificing 2 cents per ton.
If no agreement is reached between this and
May 1 other strikes in many parts of tho dis
trict are inevitable, and large sums of money
from working miners to aid those who are con
tending for price, and who suffer not only from
loss of wages, but too often from hunger's
gnawing pains. The vote of miners at the dif
ferent mines in the competitive district npon
the circular issued by us immediately after the
adjournment of the joint convention indicates
a very general desire to maintain scale rates,
but in neaily every case we are urged to use all
honorable means in our power to avoid a
strike.
CONSERVATIVE ADVICE
The position of the miners' delegates to the
joint convention was heartily indorsed, and it
Is owing to this, to the general stagnation in
trade, and to the inability of miners to carry a
strike to a successful termination at this time
and under existing conditions, that I ask you
now to be guided by my advice and accept this
reduction of 2 cents per ton below last year's
rate.
My honest judgment is that if you make this
concession now in the interest of peace and
harmony the future will demonstrate the wis
dom of vour action. Respectfully yours,
John McBride,
President National Progressive Union Miners
and Mine Laborers.

does is done by the others.
Mr. T. C. Jenkins takes exception to the
remarks attributed to him in The Dis-,
patch yesterday. He says the reporter
evidently misunderstood him, as he did not
intend to fully indorse Mr. Carnegie's views.
That portion of the interview which refers
to the inadequacy of the inter-State law, Mr.
Jenkins says, is correct.
HOW IT HITS PAPEE.
A Strong Statement From the Firm of God
frey Sc Clark ns to the Discriminations
Against Their Freight! Olore
Food for Reflection as to tho
monopolistic Leecli-
log of Profits.
The inequalities of this freight discrimina
tion are not confined to iron, steel, glass,
drygoods, prodnce and grain; they reach
all classes of shippers. For example, C. E.
Godfrey, of Godfrey & Clark, Liberty
street, paper manufacturers, had this to say
yesterday:
"Yes,- we have followed this question through
the papers, and are mightily pleased at the
stand taken by ThrDispatch."
"What do you think of Mr. Carnegie's
charges?"
"I think they are perfectly true, and 1 think
Carnegie is not done with the P. R. R., by half.
1 know that certain lines of heavy goods used
by us are shipped by the Pennsylvania to
Cleveland, Akron and Cincinnati, at the same
rates as are charged us."
"Can you explain the probable reason for
this?"
Tho Real. Difference.
"It is simply because we mnst pay it We
have no other way out of it We have put up
mills, etc., and can't shut them down, and must
have goods to keep them going. You see the
Nypano, the Erie and the Nickel Plate run to
those points, while we are isolated. We never
really had any Eastern road besida the Penn
sylvama. We gave them every favor; apd now
we are getting our thanks for it. I know posi
tively that the Pennsylvania charges us from
New York to Pittsburg 21 to 27 cents per 100,
whilo on the same goods they charge only 8
cents per 100 for 230 miles.
"This latter they charge to all points touched
by the New York Central, Lake Shore, and
West Shore. You can imagine what a tre
mendous drawback this discrimination is to
Pittsburg.
"Here is another case: Last September we
had 250 tons of imported stock due in New
York. There was a big war of rates on and
freights went down to 15 cents on that class of
goods. Unfortunately, the stock was delayed,
and In the meantime rates advanced. We had
an offer from the West Shore, however, to haul
the goods 700 miles to Pittsburg, against the
Pennsylvania's 400 miles, at 15 cents. It sounds
good; but the man who says the Pennsylvania
Railroad makes its freight rates according to
distance would be laughed at.
Wonderful Ineqnallty.
"For bleach the Pennsylvania charges Pitts
burg 15 cents per 100 from New York. Yet
they hanl the same goods three times as far
toward the West and charge only one-third
more. The Pennsylvania Railroad charges us
only 3 cents Ies3 per 100 for 30 miles than the
New York Central and Lake Shore charge for
225 miles. Jute stock, paper pulp, and heavy
goods are put from New York into the Miami
Valley and Cincinnati for about the same as
here. On certain heavy goods the Pennsyl
vania Railroad charges from 15 to 17 cents
fnom New York to Buffalo, and from New
York to Pittsburg (about the same distance)
they charge 25 to 28 cents. If I had only known
you were coming I would have been loaded
with figures, but these are reliable.
"I am not kicking blindly. We want mere
Justice, and I will say, in conclusion, in our
ine of business alone the Pennsylvania exacts
thousands and thousands of dollars more than
they do from Cleveland, Chicago or Cincinnati;
and if this is not discrimination, and if this
does not militate against an enterprising city,
then we are not in the paper business."
CHAMBERS OPPOSES CAENEGIE.
The Window Glass Mannfnctnrer Does
Not Believe the Charges.
James A. Chambers, the window glass
mannfactnrer of this city, and wife left last
evening for New York City. In regard to
Mr. Andrew Carnegie's charges against
the Pennsylvania Railroad Mr. Chambers
said:
Before we threw $1,000,000 into that town of
Jeannette we recognized the fact that we
would be at the mercy of the Pennsylvania
Railroad. Accordingly we went to see Messrs.
Roberts. Thomson ana Cassatt of the company,
and had a talk with them in regard to the mat
ter. We asked whether or not there would be
any discrimination against us and we were as
sured that there would not be any. They
stated that we would be treated tbe same as
other shippers and nobody or any locality would
be favored one wav or the other.
I think the officials of the Pennsylvania
Railroad are men who know what they are do
ing and will not allow any discrimination, as it
would not be- politic to do so. They have
managed the road with singular success, and as
they got the most of their reveuue from the
local business I do not think they wonld do
anything that would tend to injure this busl-

purpose of placing orders for iron work and
track supplies to be nsed on the road this
summer. Like all other railroad men Mr.
Buckley took exceptions to what Andrew
Carnegie said in regard to railroad discrimi
nations. He thought 'that the iron master
had been well taken care of by the Penn
sylvania Railroad and the Baltimore aud
Ohio. He said:
"It's very funny that Mr. Carnegie should
drop his South Penn stock to the Pennsyl
vania Railroad in view of the fact that he
wanted a competing line with the Pennsyl
vania." The Wherry BUI a Popular One.

IN POISONOUS FUMES. (
The Pennsj.lvania Salt Company at
Natrona is Alleged to be
MAIUTAININQ A K0VEL KUISAHCB.
Destroying; Jack's Island, as Well as Vege
table and Animal Life.
A BILL IN EQOITI OP MUCH INTEREST
It may not be known to all, bat such is
the case, that the Pennsylvania Salt Manu
facturing Company at Natrona, on the
Allegheny river, not only make chemicals,
but smelts mineral ores containing lead,
copper and sulphur. Now the Arnold Coal
Company, limited, and William Metcalf,
Chairman of the company, complain that
they are Individually and separately injured
both "anlmally" and "vegetablj" by smoke,
vapor and fumes heavily charged with lead,
copper and sulphur from these works, which
are charged with being poisonous, injurious
and destructive with all the rich verbiage
necessary to set forth the complaint. Not only
are these destructive fames liable, as plaintiffs
allege, to destroy vegetable and animal life,but
by the destruction of the former to wipe out
or disintegrate 100 acres of terra Anna known
as Jack's Island and distribute it over the
bottom of tbe Gulf of Mexico, and
as the Arnold Coal Company, limited,
and Mr. Metcalf are not interested
in future real estate ventures in the gulf
they protest against thus contributing to tbe
welfare of a coming people, who will know no
more of their benefactors than we know of the
Mound Builders.
Complainants also say that a present effect
of the fumes from the smelting works is to
produce physical pains and discomfort to per
sons within reach of such fumes, as are all
persons upon said plaintiffs' lands, or in the
same reach of said smelting works, said fumes
affecting the eyes, nose, mouth and having a
disagreeable smelL
It is claimed that defendants knew, or should
have known, tbe facts above charged, but not
withstanding this sin of omission or commis
sion, bave carried on their smelting works
without providing means known to them and
used generally in England and this country, to
cleanse and deprive said smoke vapor and
fumes of poisonous substances, though notified
in September last that plaintiffs intended to
apply for an injunction. It is also set forth
that defendants promised positively to remedy
the matter by November, in order to avertsnch
proceeding, but have neglected to do so. The
Court of Common Pleas No. 2 is asked to grant
a preliminary injunction to restrain defend
ants from operating their smelting works, pre
limmarily.perpetually and finally, unless they
adopt adequate means,to prevent the emission
of the poisonous substances complained of.etc.,
M. A. Woodward, Esq., is attorney for
plaintiffs, and J. E. McKelvey, Esq., represents
tbe Pennsylvania Salt Manufacturing Compa
ny, and next Saturday each side will talk to the
Court It will be remembered that Mr. Price,
tbe shot manufacturer, has had much trouble
on account of similar complaint, and. unless
some compromise is effected, there will be an
other opportunity for students of chemistry to
get free lessons in the Court House.

Mr. John H. King, a well-known citizen of
Allegheny county, residing at Tarentnm, has
for a long time suffered from Catarrh. He
had a hacking cough, dizziness and pain over
the eyes. The tough, tenacious mucous in his
head and throat was hard to raise, and gave
him such a choked-up feeling. Ue took cold
easily, and his throat often became sore- Hav
ing been unable to find any relief, he began
treatment with tbe specialists for Catarrh at
323 Penn avenue. He says:
"In testimony tbat I have been enred of
Catarrh by tbe physicians of the Catarrh and
Dyspepsia Institute, I hereby sign my name.
