WARD CHAIRMEN'S SPECIFICATIONS Democrats are in a penitentant mood.

1 Primaries will be held on Jan-The majority of the leaders and workers uary 25. mre now sorry tne city convention adopted the resolution that bars from participation in all party functions employes of the city, county and State Republican administrations. They are busy now try- ing to figure some way of offsetting the effect of the resolution. The conviction bLS been forced on them that the action of the city convention may cause a loss many votes for their candidate for dty controller, John B. Iarkin, and candidates for councils.

Tbe Democrats living in Pittsburg, who are employed by the city, county or State, are boiling angry on account of the resolution and the Democratic campaign managers are greatly alarmed lest their Votes and those of their friends do not fo to the ticket. The matter was discussed in conferences held yesterday and today, but if any conclusion has been reached it has not been revealed. How to overcome the effect of the resolution la a problem that many Democrats confess an inability to solve though express ing the hope that a solution may reached. be uc The suggestion, it was learned, was inade of recovening the convention and reconsidering the notion, but It is said thus was abandoned because of the fear thafj a fight would result that might utterly wreck any chance of party success. As far r-t can be learned just one loophole has been given serious consideration.

This is that the rale adopted by the convention, prescribing the qualification of Democratic voters, modifies the resolution. W. J. Brenner, who drew up the new rules that were reported to the convention for the committee, maintains that the rule designated does modify the resolution. George W.

As Peruna had been used by other members of the family with good results I thought best to give it a trial before putting 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."

MM MAGISTRATES HAVE TROUBLE Newly Elected Officials Refused Recognition War in Police Courts. New Tork, January 4. A remarkable tangle exists today in the Brooklyn police courts. The question is, who has the right to sit, the old magistrates, appointed by Mayor Van Wyck. or the men newly elected, under the revised charter? The battle of the bench began some time ago.

when Magistrates Furlong and Dooley brought injunction proceedings by which it was sought to restrain the other men from taking office. Justice Marean handed down a decision which precipi tated a row that developed some lively times this morning. He decided that the law under which the new city magistrates had been elected was unconstitutional but he also decided that the action brought by the old magistrate was not the proper one and consequently he could not grant the injunction. The old magistrates determined to noiu the fort. They are Justices Dooley, Hig- ganbotham.

Furlong, O'Reilly and au- mer Charles iJevoy, wno was eiecxea to succeed Naumer, gained possession of his place by a bit of strategy. Naumer today got a warrant from one of the other old magistrates, but Devoy refuses to recognze it. Fronting by tne experience of Naumer, the other old mag istrates barricaoea tnemseives in tneir respective court rooms, where they remained all night. This morning there were exciting times all tne court rooms. MBsisirmc Dooley, in the Adams street court, not onlv successfully resisted the enorts or Walter L.

Durack, the newly elected mag istrate, to grab his seat, but he had Du rack arrested for unlawfully presenting himself before a magistrate. naa used an axe. There were similar scenes at the ouier courts. Police Commissioner Fatridge, wnen no heard of the mix up. took a hand.

He ordered the police not -to take prisoners before the old magistrates. The dispute will be settled by the higher courts. BRIEFS FROM COl'RT. Bits of ZVews Gathered Amobs Allf- gbrnF CosatT Trlbaaali. Jemima Colerider sued Arthur Rodgers for $50 damages.

1230a ill Women All Over the United States Praise Pe-ru-na for Diseases Peculiar to Their Sex. Miss Mary Meehan. 54 Concord street, Lawrence. writes: "It gives me great pleasure to tell you that todav I am a new woman. I was troubled with catarrh for twenty 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. Henceforth I shall never be without a bottle of Peruna" MISS MARY MEEHAN. Mrs. E. T.

Gaddis, Marion, 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 great medicine for womankind." MRS. E.

T. GADDIS. Dingolaed Catarrh. There are a great many people who are actually invalids from chronic catarrh 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 the organs in the lower part of the abdomen or pelvic organs.

These organs are especially liable to catarrh, which gives rise to weakening discharges, painful irregularities, backache, bearing-down pains, smarting and throbbing, with a host of other symptoms peculiar to weak persons of both sexes, but occurring much mora 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 continually, who are wretched beyond description, simply because their strength and vitality is sapped avay by catarrhal discharges. Peruna Is such a specific, for such cases that when patients have once used It they can never lie induced to ynit it until the.y are permanently cured. It begins to relieve the disagreeabl symptoms at one. The backache ceases, the trembling knees are strengthened, the appetite restored, digestion made perfect, the dull headache is stopped and the weakening drains are graduallv cured.

These results certainly follow a course of treatment with Peruna, Miss Louise Mahon. 3 Glen Bailie street, Toronto. 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 bctl. 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 -n'uch more robust than for-merlv.

so that I take Peruna once or twice a month and keep well." MISS LOUISE MAHOX. Ask your druggist for a PRISON BOARD DID NOT MEET No Quorum Present to Elect Jail Warden and Hear Reports. The annual meeting of the Allegheny County Prison Board was not held this morning because a quorum of the members failed to put in an appearance. Considerable interest centered in the expected meeting because fthe speculation that has arisen over the selection of the jail warden for the ensuing" year. Warden Peter K.

Soffel Is a candidate to succeed himself, and as far a Is known outside of the board just now there is no opposition to his candidacy, but certain events have caused rumors to be set afloat that he was to have oposition. The complexion of the board has been changed somewhat by the ripper charter bills The old board was composed of the Judges of Common Pleas Courts os. 1 and 'J the county commissioners, the county controller, the sheriff and the mavors of Allegheny and Pittsburg. The mayors having been ripped out of office thev are no longer members of the board and there is no provision to make the recorders members. President Judge Frazer, of Common Pleas Court No, 2 "is president of the board and with two o'r three of the other judges met in Judge Elliott Rodgers and John D.

Shafer rnamVwr The county commissioners failed to put in appearance and County Controller TV. E. Thompson is in Mexico on a pleasure trip Chief Clerk Randolph, of the controller's office, was present to act as secretary of the meeting and had the various annual reports of the jail warden and others for presentation to the hoard, but no quorum being present no business was transacted. Unless a special meeting is called the board will not meet until the first Saturday of February. PLUCKY DAUGHTERS REFUSE COMPROMISE.

Sons of Revolution Will Help Them Hold the Fort. No compromise has yet been effected between the syndicate which wants to build warehouses on the site of the old blockhouse and the Daughters of the Revolution, who are determined to hold the fort. F. Nicola, agent of the syndicate, has written Attorney J. Harvey White, representing the Daughters, recommending the appointment of a committee to confer with him, with the understanding that what tbe city decides upon shall be confirmed by the Daughters; but his proposition will not be considered.

Aside from the fact that Daughters are determined to act upon the matter as a body, they think It would not be in food taste to take from the society or its presiding officer the right to appoint a committee. Urs. S. A. Ammon yesterday drew attention to the fact that under tbe terms of the deed which gave the Daughters the property they have' no right to dispose of the property; that just as soon as they waive their rights it will revert to the Schenley estate.

The Sons of the American Revolution have rallied to the support of the Daughters, and William L. Jones, Colonel A. J. Logan and T. S.

Brown have been appointed a committee to consult with and help the Daughters. THE HOBARTS VISIT MRS. M'KINLEY. Paterson. N.

A ruling that the resolution is absolute would only increase the bitter feeling among the Democratic employes. The rule referred to by Erennen admits to party primaries any man who voted at the preceding State election for the Democratic ticket and pledges himself to support the men nominated at the primaries. An effort was madethis morning to get an expression from Chairman Guthrie, but he dodged.

He asked to be excused until he could study the rules and the resolution. He said these were being Sprinted and would soon be in his hands. One ot the best workers in the Democratic, party made, this statement this morning: The adoption of that resolution was bout as big a piece of foolishness as th Democratic party nas commntea in iru city for a long time.

Charles Asher who killed Gustati Saunders, the pool room proprietor, on October 7 last, was sentenced by Judge H. collier in Criminal Court this morning to serve a term of 19 years and lO months in the Western penitentiary.

Ashed was accompanied before the court by his counsel. Attorneys W. A. Blakeley and E. W.

Arthur. Judge Collier asked if they had anything to say and they replied that they had not. I ne limit for murder of the second de gree, of which Asher was convicted, is 20 years, but the new commutation law reduces his sentence to 12 years and a fraction less than '3 months on condition of good behavior. Asher's defense was drunkeness for the killing of Saunders. The evidence of the case was very much against him and his conviction of murder the second degree was a great sur prise.

District Attorney John C. Haymaker confidently expected a verdict of murder of the first degree as many another man has been hanged In this county on less evidence. It is said that one of the jurors remarked since the verdict was returned that Asher got off on second degree murder because he was a member of a crowd of gamblers, and the shooting was the result of some dispute oetween nem.
