CURRENCYJUPPLY.
Big Increase Within Brief
Period.
80TH BIRTHDAY OF
FAMOUS DIVINE.
Indications are for a Material Increase
Both by Gold Imports and Increase in
Bank Note is hTCirocuiati,n Appar
ently Being all That is Necessary to
Tide Oyer Crisis.
New York, Nov. 1 Indications that
tbe available supply of currency would
be materially increased within a short
time, both by imports of gold and the
increase of tbe bank note circulation
and that the movement of cotton and
grain- crops would be facilitated in
every way possible with the result of
increasing our credits abroad were the
salient features in todays financial situ-
'ation, which seemed to be recognized
everywhere that the acute stage of the
crisis was over and that all that re
mained was to obtain sufficient cur
rency to resume currency payments
upon a broad scale and thus to restore
conditions prevailing before the crisis.
The engagements of gold made in
New York, Chicago and elsewhere
brought up the total import movement
-within the past week to $28, 750,000. As
the amount of gold will afford a basis
of credit to four times the amount, or
about $95,000,000, it will in itself afford
much relief to the existing pressure.
The action of the Bank of England in
raising its discount rate from 4 1-2 to
5 1-2 per cent, was in accordance with
expectations in conservative circles
The fact that the increase was not made
to 6 per cent., and that the English
rate remains 1 per cent, below the Ger
man rate; is expressed as an indication
that tbe situation at London is not con
sidered acute.
The prompt response of the national
banks throughout the country to the
suggestion of the comptroller of the
currency that, they sbenld employ their
United States bonds as largely as pos
sible to secure circulation and substi
tute other bonds for those pledged
against deposits of public money .prom
ises a considerable increase in the
available stock of currency. The es
timate of an increase in the banknote
circulation of $30,000,000 is considered
well within the probabilities. It will
require time, however, in some cases
for the banks to obtain proper bonds
to substitute for their United States
bonds.
Mr. "Vanderlip, vice-president of the
National City Bank, made the fruitful
suggestion today that the savings
banks would at once improve the gen
eral situation and add to their cash
il they would sell their holdings of
United States bonds to the National
Banks.
Even in cases where they do not care
to sell, it is believed that they will lend
the bonds to the National Banks, as
has often been done in the past.
Interest is continuing to center in
the movement of the cotton crop from
New Orleans and other Southern points,
where it is so essential to provide bills
against the imports of gold. Secretary
Cortelyou, according to Washington
dispatches to-day, was disposed to in
crease deposits of public funds in the
Southern Banks as rapidly as such
funds become available. This will sup
ply the Banks with the stock of cur
rency so much needed to handled the
cotton crop and will enable them to
await with less embarrassment than
otherwise the arrival of their cotton
bills in Europe, and the bringing back
of the gold.
The committee of New Orleans bank
ers, which is in Washington, has sug
gested that the New York banks can
ease the situation by giving the south
ern banks credit for checks on foreign
banks forwarded as soon as they re
ceive telegraphic advices of the
amounts. This will enable the south
ern banks to check against such bal
ances in payment of collections and in
making remittances to interior banks
throughout the country.

A Series of Notable Anniversaries
for tbe Rev. Dr. Morgan Dick,
tbe Venerable Hector Of
Historic Trinity Church.
(Special to the Akotj s)
New York, Nov. 1. The week be
ginning today contains a series of no
table anniversaries for the Rev. Dr.
Morgan Dix, the venerable rector of
historic Trinity Church. Today was
the eightieth birthday of Dr. Dix and
almost simultaneously comes the fifty
fifth anniversary of his ordination and
his forty-fifth anniversary as rector of
Trinity. That the triple anniversary
is to be made the occasion for a nota
ble celebration goes without saying
among all those who know in what
high esteem Dr. Dix is held by the
members of his immensely wealthy
parish.
Practically all Dr. Dix's ministerial
life has been spent in Trinity parish,
and nearly half a century of it has been
as rector of Trinity Church. He was
born in this city on November 1, 1827,
the son of General John A. Dix, gov
ernor of New York State. He was
graduated from Columbia' College in
1840, and in 1852 he was ordained. He
at once began to work in Trinity par
ish, which has 6ince become his life's
work, by becoming a clergyman at St
John's Chapel, part of Trinity Parish.
There was one year he spent in Phil
adelphia, but he was soon back at his
old post. In 1862 he was made rector
of Trinity, which position he has beld
ever since. Prosperity began to shine
on Trinity from that year. Before that
there were half a dozen New York par
ishes equally strong financially. To
day it owns great offiee buildings,
numerous tenements and ehurch prop
erty of great value. In all, Trinity's
wealth is estimated at more than $1Q9,-
000,000.
Dr. Dix is wealthy in his own right.
He gives much to charity and is inter
ested in many philanthropic under
takings. It is said that he has officiated
at more notable weddings than any
other clergyman in New York. More
than once he has declined, a bishopric
that would take him away from Trin
ity. To Vote on Liquor in Delaware.
(By Special Wire to the Argus.)
Wilmington, Del., Nov. 2. The vo
ters of Delaware next Tuesday will
have tneir first opportunity to ballot
on the issue of prohibition. The earn-!
paign for and against the saloons has
been one of the most exciting ever
waged in this State and the result is
awaited with keen interest. The vote
will be by districts. It is generally
expected that the larger cities will de
cide against prohibition, but it would
not be surprising if the rural counties
went "dry."
BEAUTIFUL WOMEN.
Paris is Full of Them and Nearly
All Use Parisan Sage.
In the beauty show at Paris two years
ago Gold Medals were awarded to five
different women.
To the most beautiful woman be
tween 20 and 25; between 25 and 30;
between 30 and 35; between 35 and 40
and between 40 and 45.
A society reporter who interviewed
all five women in the interest of his
papers, reported that all of them had
beautiful hair and that each of the five
enthusiastically attributed her luxur
iant hair to Parisan Sage.
Parisan Sage is a discovery of the
celebrated Dr. Giroux, who spent the
best years of his life to perfecting this
great hair tonic. ..
In giving his recipe to the French
people Dr. Giroux said, "Parisan Sage"
is the most delightful hair dressing in
the world, but it is more than a hair
dressing. It cures dandruff by killing
the germs that infest the roots of the
hair; it stops falling hair; it gives vigor
and strength to the hair roots; it re
stores gray hair to its natural color.
J. H. Hill fe Son sell Parisan Sage at
50 cents a bottle and guarantees it to
do all that Dr. Giroux claims for it or
money refunded. If you do not reside
near a druggist who sells Parisan Sage,
send 50 cents to Giroux Mfg. Co., Buf
falo, N. Y., and a bottle will be sent

OHIO POLITICS MIXED.
Local Issues Alone to be Set-
- tied at Polls.
Will Hold Her Election Next Tuesday
Under the New Law.
(By special wire to The Argus.)
Columbus, O., Nov. 2. Ohio will
hold her first election next Tuesday un
der the new law, which separates mu
nicipal elections from State and Na
tional elections, and local issues, there
fore, alone engage the attention of the
voters and the difficulty of forecasting
results is increased by the fact that in
municipal elections the Ohio voter ex
ercises his independence to a degree
and casts aside his political affiliations
In Cleveland the mayoralty eontest,
which overshadows every other consid
eration there, is stirring and aggessive
Mayor Tom Ii, Johnson, the Democrat
ic-nominee, is up for re-election for the
fourth time and has for his opponent
Theodore E. Burton, who resigned a
seat in Congress to enter the contest,
If Burton should win it would make
him a formidable candidate for gov
ernor and increase his chances for sue
ceeding Foraker in the United States
Senate. A victory for Johnson might
likewise have far-reaching results, as
it would probably make Mm a possi
bility for the Democratic Presidential
nomination.
The contest for the mayoralty in
Cincinnati is one of the most exciting
that has taken place in that city in a
number of years. Mayor Edward Ii,
Dempsey , Democrat, is a .candidate for
re-election. A considerable! element of
the Democratic party, how ever, was
displaced with Dempsey's method in
securing a renomination, .and the re
sult was the naming of an independent
ticket headed by Frank L. Plaff as the
candidate for mayor. The split in the
Democratic ranks is expected to result
in the election of the Republican can
didate,. Colonel Leopold Markbreit.
Colonel Markbreit is editor of the Cin
cinnati Volksblatt and dt is expected
he will receive virtually the entire
German-American, vote.
The enforcement f the Sunday and
midnight closing of saloons law is the
issue in Columbus. For . the first time
in its history the local JJemocratic par
ty has presented a candidate and
platform, unquivoeaSfcy 3br the enforce
ment of these Laws, and the continua
tion of the "lid" policy -ff the present
mayor, a Democrat. It was he who
made the issue and his rparty endorses
it as being in line with .the sentiment
of the people. The Republican candi
date for mayor and his party managers
have not specifically declared for the
suppression of saloons en Sunday and
their antagonists declare they are be
ing backed by the brewery and liquor
interests of Columbus. Jst .is uncertain
whether to predict a Democratic gain
or loss in Columbus. The party has
made a vigorous fight and claim that
their ticket will be eleeted Sky a sub
stantial majority. The campaign is to
come to a close tonight watfch a great
public meeting in Memorial Hall at
which Governor Folk, of Missanri, will
be the speaker.
The situation in Toledo is eoraplicat-
ed by the introduction of an independ
ent movement, headed by Brand Whit
lock, the present mayor. Both leading
parties have complete municipal tick
ets in the field.

Catarrh of the Bladder.
Mr. James M. Powell, 431 Kensington
street, Kansas City, Mo., writes:
"About four years ago I suffered with
a severe catarrh of the bladder which
caused continued irritation and pain.
I was miserable, and could not stand
up or walk for any length of time with
out extreme weariness and pain.
"I began taking Peruna and it greatly
relieved me, and in eleven weeks 1 was
completely cured, and felt like a new
man."
Kidneys and Liver Affected.
Mrs. Carrie King, 730 North Cascade,
Colorado Springs, Col., writes :
"Peruna has been my favorite and
only household remedy for nearly five
years. I have suffered for years with
biliousness, and kidney and liver
trouble. If I caught a little cold, the
pains were increased, and backache and
headache were of frequent occurrence.
"However, Peruna cured me twelve
bottles made me a new and healthy
woman. For three years I have enjoyed
the best of health. I keep Peruna con
stantly in my home, if my husband or I
catch cold or feel indisposed, a few doses
of Peruna never fall to restore us. "
Mr. M. T. Gaffney Corpus Christi,
Texas, writes :
"I can certify to the truthfulness of
Peruna as a catarrh cure, and am rec
ommending it to every one. I am prac
tically wll of tbe catarrh in my nose,
throat aji head.''
THE first stage of Brlght's Dis
ease of the kidneys is known
as the catarrhal stage.
Catarrh of the mucous membrane
lining the kidneys is the first act ot
a drama that often ends as ft
tragedy.
To stop the catarrh is to head oft
the disease.
If Bright's Disease can be relieved
during the catarrhal stage all will
be well.
Peruna has achieved a reputation
for mitigating catarrh of the in

Ave., Minneapolis, Minn. :
"For years I suffered - with severe
disease of the kidneys. I would havo
pains all over my body, and at times
have such dizziness in my head that I,
could not see nor work.
"Nights I would often be awake with
pain so I could get no rest. I spent
hundreds of dollars on doctors and
drugs, and had ceased to have faith in
either.
"My druggist told me one day of the.
praise his customers gave to Peruna,
and advised me to try it, offering to re
turn my money if it did not help me..
I purchased a few bottles. I kept getting:
better. The medicine did its work,
and in four months 1 was a well man. "
