When anything that promises relief
is offered vou, the first thing you wish
to know is if it ever helped anyone else:
and the amount of faith you will have‘ _
in trying it will depend upon the relia-
bility of the testimony offered in its
half. When this is from remote
strangers, way beyond the reach of yore‘
consultation, doubts- may remain: but
when it comes from disinterested N or-
walk people, Whom you can consult at
any time, its reliability' 1s apparent; its
And the tes-
timony of N orwalk people, and of prom-
inent people among them, is united in
declarino that California Catarrh C‘ure
cures catarrh, that it removes all
traces of this persistent and humiliat-
ing disease. Note the words of a man
you know you can believe:
Mr. D. C. Croft, I1 East avenue, East
Norwalk, after suffering with catarrh
for years, tells of his relief as follows:
“I find that California. Catarrh Cure
has relieved me very much. It keeps "
my head and throat much clearer than
they had been for a long time, and the .
relief' 18 wonderfulp. Anyone suffering
from catarrh 111 any form will surely
find it an excellent remedy. It relieves
at once, and I believe the relief' 1s per-
manent. ”

The iron furnaces in blast Jan. 1
report an output of 22,603 tons \1 eekiy,~
against 226, 024 weekly Dec. 1, with an
increase of 12, 481 tons in the unsold
stocks held by furnaces. While this
shows a consumption 521—2 per cent.
larger than a year ago, there would
be discouraging indications of con-
sumption but for the fact that several
furnaces were stopped, for the holi-
days, and these with several others
have started since Jan. 1, while the
demand for finished products does not
diminish. 'The Pennsylvania Rail-
road has ordered 100,000 tons steel
rails, and a new railroad in Maine 12, -
000 tons, and other orders for cars,
railroad supplies, plates, bars and
structural material are unusually.
large for the season. .
The woolen manufacturers have-
been buying wool largely, and for rea-
sons not publicly explained. It is ev-
ident that large orders have'been tak-
en by the leading mills, andat prices
which they find satisfactory, and the
rush of' small mills to buy wool has
made most of the market during the
past week, although sales have de—
clined about 40 per cent. compared
But there
is decidedly better demand for men’s
wear goods, and the makers look for-
ward to a good seasOn. The cotton
manufactur‘érs, heavily overloaded by
excessive production, find no increase
in demand, and no gain in prices. The
boot and shoe manufacture shipped
more cases from the East during two
weeks of January than ever before,
but it is receiving few new orders, al-
though in brogans and women’s light
‘goods the orders are enough- to run
the factories for some time. Failures
for past week have been 349 in the
United States against 455 lastyear, and;
15 in' Canada against :71 last year.
ATTACKED JUDGE M’KENNA.
Vigorous Debate Over the Nomination
in the senate.
Washington, Jan. 1'.—The Senate
took up the nomination of Attomey-
General McKenna to be a. justice of the
Supreme Court immediately upon go-«
ing into executive session. Senator
Allen, of Nebraska, took the floor and
made 'a. bitter speech against confirma-
tion. The Senator also attacked the
A. P. A., but declared his opposition
was not based on this ground, but on
the alleged incompetency of Judge Mc- -
Kenna. ' Senator Perkins, of Califor-
nia, also attacked the nomination.
Mr.. Money,o of Mississippi, says that,
‘all things being equal he would invari-
ably cast his vote for the man Who is
opposed by the A. P. A.,’and it is his
opinion that the organization has
helped, rather than hurt, Judge Me!
Kenna before the Senate, for the rea-
son that sensible men hold that every
' one has a right -to his religious opin-
ions. t
So it was made apparent after a few
minutes‘ discussion that the nomina-
tion could not1be' disposed of,
was postponed to another date.
