CONTROVERSY AGAIJf STIRS UP THE

leged Atrocities in Africa.
LONDON. Jan. 4. "Were the "silly sea
son" at its height, the country could not
be held more firmly by the cars than It
Is today by the Shakespeare-Bacon con
troversy. An American. Mrs. Gallup, and
hrr Baconian cipher theory, continues to
monopolize tho columns of the Times. W.
IJ. Mallock, Sidney Lee and hundreds of
less-known Shakespearean scholars have
a.l come out with lens letters, Mrs. Gal
dup ie now the center of a literary storm
which far surpasses that raised by Ig
natius Donnelly. Among her champions
is Mr. Mallock. and though others bitter
ly denounce this latest American exposi
tion, it Is surprising to find how many able
men, while unwilling to accept the cor
rectness of Mrs. Gallup's discovery, admit
that they seriously doubt if Shakespeare
wrote the plays.
About a week ago Mrs. Alec Tweedle
wrote 'an article for the Daily Mail on
the selfishness of modern Englishmen,
quoting an American girl as saying that
English bachelors never returned worn
.en's hospitality, and were otherwise re
mits. By indorsing and emphasizing this
view, Mrs. Tweedie started a stream of
correspondence and elicited several amus
ing replies from English young men.
'These retort that no English girl would
ever expect men to take her to tea, to
the theater, for a drive in the park, or
give her candy and flowers, and that the
American girl, by her willingness to ac
' cept such attentions, comes in for much
.criticism. Mrs. Tweedie also represented
1 the American girl as saying she would
not waste hospitality over those who
"would not return it. This commercialism
has been greeted with Jeers from various
f clubmen who have taken up the cudgels
10 r their sex.
By far the most important contributor
to the exhibition of old masters, a private
view of which was held today at Burling
ton House, is J. Plerpont Morgan. He
has sent a Colonna, a Raphael, a. Van
Dyck, a portrait group by Rubens, a por
trait of the holy family by Titian, and a
Rembrandt landscape. Other prominent
exhibitors are the Duke of Devonshire and
various Oxford colleges.
The steamship offices and the American
rendezvous in London are all being filled
with applications for seats to witness the
coronation procession. Nothing definite
can be arranged, as the route of the pro
cession Is still unsettled. In vicinities
where it is thought likely the great show
will pass, speculation is beginning to be
brisk. Thoee few town mansions on
Park Lane and in the ultra-fashionable
squares which will be available to vis
itors are being quoted at 3000 to 4000
for a short season, and smaller furnished
houses usually fetching G00 are on the
market at 1000 for the season. The lead
ing hotels have already booked most of
their rooms at advanced prices, and sev
eral of them have secured overflow hotels
In anticipation of a rush. The London
tradesmen openly avow that they are
looking forward to a great American har
vest, but that this will not go entirely
Into British pockets is evidenced by the
Inquiries made by many American firms
regarding the purchase of stores favor

"When King Edward opens Parliament,
January 16, which will be an. occasion
of even greater pomp and cere
mony than was his last appearance In
the House of Lords, one of the most In
teresting sessions of recent years will be
begun. Before its conclusion the .whole
status of the Liberal party Is likely to be
altered and Lord Rosebery's future deter
mined. Present indications point to a
split which no middle-road pronounce
ments can hold, and in which Sir Edward
Grey and H. H. Asquith, R. "V. Perks, R.
B. Haldane and other Imperialists, to
gether with a few Unionists, will flock to
Lord Rosebery's standard and Initiate an
organization with the hope of securing
control of all the Liberal elements prior
to the next general election. Temporarily,
this will greatly facilitate the govern
ment's programme, the chief item of
which is the sweeping reform of Parlia

DfSTRIBUTION OF NORTHWESTERN WHEAT CROP.
Movement Was Heavy, and Less Than Three Million Bushels
Remain on Hand at Close of Cereal Year.
The final returns on the wheat output of Oregon, Washington and
Northern Idaho show that the crop of 1900 amounted to nearly 37,000,
000 bushels, which is a very good showing, considering the shortage
In the Willamette "Valley, which Is usually depended on for 3,000,000
or 4,000,000 bushels. Had the Valley turned out an average crop, the
yield in the Northwest would have been In excess of 40,000,000 bush
els. As it was, the crop was a large one, and the shipments were
the largest that have ever been made from the Northwest In a single
season. The year's returns, Including those for San Francisco, com
piled July 1, 1901, show Portland still at the head of the Coast ports,
although conditions In the territory tributary to this port were les3
favorable than they have been for many years. The distribution of

IN THE HANDS OF A RECEIVER
Crude Rubber Company Business
Turned Over to Another Concern.
NEW YORK, Jan. 4. Official announce
ment was made this afternoon at the
office of the Crude Rubber Company, that
a receiver had been appointed for the
company. The announcement was oc
companied by the following statement:
"The Crude Rubber Company is In the
hands of a receiver in order to avoid the
obtaining of preferences ,by attachment
or otherwise, and in order that all Inter
ests may bo equally protected. The In
ternational Crude Rubber Company suc
ceeds to the business of the Crude Rub
ber Company, and has taken over the
rubber of the Crude Rubber Company,
for the purpose of avoiding any conflict
In selling. This secures to the banks,
who have advanced on rubber of the old
Crude Company, the highest price for the
rubber on which they have loaned, and
preserves tho largest equity for the cred
itors of tho Crude Rubber Company."
The officers of the Crude Rubber Com
pany decline to make any further state
ment as to the present status of the
company, the nature of its liabilities, or
pf its future prospects.
The application for a receiver for the
Crude Rubber Company was made to
Judge Lacombe, of the United States Cir
cuit Court, by Attorney William Nelson
Cromwell, and the Judge appointed Will
iam W. Ladd, Jr. Mr. Cromwell said to
night: "Upon application of Charles R. Flint
& Co., Judge Robert R. Prentls, of the
Circuit Court of Norfolk, Va., today ap
pointed William W. Ladd. Jr., as re
ceiver of the Crude Rubber Company in
that jurisdiction, and thereupon. In com
pany with Mr. Hill, of my firm, for
Charles R. Flint & Co.. and William F.
Goldbeck, of the Crude Rubber Company,
ancillary proceedings were filed before
Judge Lacombe, of the United States Cir
cuit Court of this district. The applica
tion waa considered by Judge Lacombe in
chambers early in the day, and confirmed
by him later, when Mr. Ladd was ap
pointed receiver for this district also.
The bond of the receiver In Virginia and
New York was fixed at $50,000 In each
jurisdiction. This action was taken In the
Interest of creditors and stockholders of
the Crude Rubber Company to prevent
preference by attachment and dismember
ment of the property and assets. The bill
of complaint 6ets forth the date of the
Crude Rubber Company's organization,
the terms of its charter, and gives Its
present officers as Henry Earle, vice-president,
and P. Dolacey Llebermann, secre
tary and treasurer. It also states that
the company has conducted a large busi
ness in South America and this country."
According to Mr. CrorawcM, the Crude
Rubber Ccmpany has now a stock of rub
ber and bills receivable In excess of $3,000,
000, nearly all of which Is pledged to bank
ers. Mr. Cromwell also said that the com
pany's direct liabilities are about $3,000,
000, added to which are indorsements and
guarantees footing up another $2,000,000.
Of this latter amount, about $800,000 is of
the paper of George Watklnson & Co., of
Philadelphia, whose failure was an
nounced a few days ago. Tho primary
cause of tho Crude Rubber Company's
embarrassment, it is believed. Is due to
the adverse weather conditions of the
past two Tears. In the language of the
trade, the Winters of 1900 and 1901 were
too "open" to give much of a boom to
rubber boots aond shoes and other rub
ber wearing apparel. Because of these
conditions the price of raw rubber has
declined almost 30 cents per pound, so Mr.
Flint said today. The new schedule of
prices Issued by the United States Rub
ber Company under date of January 1
shows an advance In the discount rates
of Jobbers.

CATARRH ROBS WOMEN OF HEALTH AND BEAUTY
Pe-ru-na Makes Women Healthy
and Beautiful.
Women All Over the United
States Praise Pe-ru-na for
Diseases Peculiar to Thmr
Sex,
Miss Mary Mechan, W Concord street,
Lawrence. Mass., writes:
"It gives me grea't pleasure to tell you
that today I am a new woman. I was
troubled with catarrh for 20 years, and
tried many kinds of medicine but found
no relief. Finally I tried Peruna, and
after taking- one bottle I felt better, and
six bottles cured me entirely. Hence
forth I shall never be without a bottle of
Peruna." MISS MARY MEEHAN.
Mrs. E. T. Gaddls, Marion, N." C,
writes:
"Before I commenced to take Peruna
I could not do any hard work without
suffering great pain. I took Peruna and
Manalin, and can say with pleasure that
it has done more for me than any other
medicine I have ever taken. Now I am
as well as ever; I do all my own work
and It never hurts me at all. I think
Peruna Is a gTeat medicine for woman
kind." MRS. E. T. GADDIS.
Disguised Catarrh.
There are a great many people who
are actually Invalids from chronic ca
tarrh of some Internal organ who have
not the slightest suspicion that they are
victims of this universal disease.
. This is especially true In cases of
chronic catarrh of tho organs in the
lower part of tho abdomen, or pelvic
organs. These organs are especially
liable to catarrh, which gives rise to
weakening discharges, painful irregu
larities, backache, bearing-down pains,
smarting and throbbing, with a host of
other symptoms peculiar to weak per
sons of both sexes, but occurring much
more frequently In women, when it Is
called female weakness.
There are a multitude of women,
especially housewives, and all other
women obliged to be on their feet con
tinually, who are wretched beyond de
scription, simply because their strength
and vitality Is sapped away by catarrhal
discharges. .
Peruna Is such a specific for such cases
that when patients have once used It
they can never be induced to quit It
until they are permanently cured. It
begins to relieve the disagreeable symp
toms at once. The backache ceases, the
trembling knees are strengthened, the
appetite restored, digestion made perfect,-
the dull headache Is stopped and
the weakening drains are gradually
cured. These results certainly follow a
course of treatment with Peruna.
Miss Louise Mahon, 3 Glen Bailie 1
street, Toronto, Ont. Canada. Secretary
of the King's Daughters and Secretary
of Lady Maccabees, writes:
"About a year ago I was so run down
that I had to take to my bed. A friend
advised me to try Peruna and In two
weeks I was out of bed and In a month I
was perfectly well. I now find that my
health Is much more robust than for
merly, so that I take Peruna once or
twice a month and keep well."

Mrs. Ida Proctor, a prominent society matron. President Brooklyn Woman's
Century Club, writes Irom 45 Hoyt street, Brooklyn, N. Y.:
"Two years ago my health was entirely broken down from
social cares and responsibilities and ! felt that I was going to be
very ill. As Peruna had been used by other members of the fam
ily with good results I thought best to give it a triai before put
ting myself in the care of a physician, and was glad that I did
so, for the use of four bottles restored my strength and vitality,
and a dose once or twice a month keeps me in excellent
health." MRS. IDA PROCTOR.
If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.
