A (7// \VX J woman who suffers U S \\'*T from weakness and • \ disease in a womati- \ f ly way sits in sorrow and dejection while her healthy sisters enjoy themselves. She may be naturally beautiful, naturally attractive, naturally interesting and animated and witty, but the demon of ill-health is gnawing at the very vitals of her womanly nature, and she soon becomes a withered wall flower in comparison with her brighter and more healthy sisters. Dr. Pierce s Favorite Prescription is a w onderful medicine for women who suffer in this way. It acts directly on the delicate and important organs concerned in wifehood and motherhood. It tones and builds up the shattered nerves. It restores the glow of health to the pallid cheek. It gives springiness and trip to the carriage. It makes the eyes sparkle with returning vivacity. It imparts animation to the mien and gestures. The fan that long lay listless and idle in the lap of an invalid again speaks the eloquent language of a healthy, happy woman. Thousands of women have tcstifed to the marvelous merits of this wonderful medicine. • For several years I suffered with prolapsus of the uterus." writes Miss A. Lee Schuster, of Box 12, Rodney. Jefferson Co.. Miss " Our family physician treated me for kidney trouble, and everything else but the right thing. I grew worse and worse. My body was emaciated, hands and feet clammv and cold, stomach weak, with great palpitation of the heart. I would suffer with nausea all night.

Ceremonies of Turning the Government Over to the United Staten Authorities by Consul General Castellanos. Havana, Jan. 3.—The sovereignity of Cuba passed from Spain to the United States at noon yesterday. The form of the transfer was simple, consisting only of an exchange of speeches in the saloon of the palace, the hauling down of the Spanish flag and the raising in its stead of the flag of the United States on the flagstaff of the palace roof. Salutes were fired from the heavy guns of the forts and the warships before and after the change of flags. The raising of the stars and stripes was greeted with cheers by the people who covered the roofs of the buildings around the palace and plaza. No crowd was permitted to gather in the streets in the vicinity of the palace to witness the epoch making function. At 9 o'clock a gnard composed of the second battalion of the Tenth infantry marched into the Plaza de Armas, under command of Captain Vau Vliet, and formed around the square. Captain General Castellanos watched them with interest from the balcony of his apartments, as they entered the square and were stationed at all the streets approaching the plaza. No one was allowed to enter without a pass, and all the doors of the palace facing the square were ordered to he closed. With the gnard was the band of the Second Illinois regiment, which had been selected for the occasion as the best band in the Seventh army corps. With the baud were the buglers of the Eighth and Tenth infantry. At the last stroke of 13 the boom of a gun brought all eyes- to the point in the room where stood the captain general, who was talking with an American officer. Immediately all was silence. The captain general took a position directly in front of his staff. On his right stood Captain J. S. Hart, interpreter to the United States military commission. Next to Captain Hart, in the order named, were Generals Chaffee, Brooke, Ludlow, Lee, Wade, Butler and Clous. Immediately behind Genera! Chaffee was Senator John W. Daniel, of Virginia. At this moment the band on the plaza was playing the Spanish national hymn. As the guns at Cabanas fortress ceased firing there was a breathless pause in the salon. Everybody knew that the American flag was being raised on the staff on the room of the palace and tliat the stars and stripes was going up on all the other official staffs in Havana. After this second of silence, the band on the plaza flayed “The Star Spangled Banner,” while the gnus of the fleet and forts began to roar out the national salute of 21 guns. Immediately Captain General Castel-

lanos handed the manuscript of his speech to Captain Hart and, addressing i himself to General Wade, president of the evacuation commission, said that in compliance with the treaty of Paris and bv orders of his king Spanish authority ceased to exist in Cuba and that of the United States began. j As soA as Captain Hart translated the address General W ade said to General Brooke: "I transfer this command to you.” In a few remarks General Brooke accepted the trust, and, turning j to Captain General Castellanos, wished him a pleasant journey to his native land. General Castellanos left immediately for the dock, accompanied by Generals Clous and Chaffee, where he went on board the Rabal, bound for Matauzas. The troops participating in the parade were, the First Texas infantry, Second Louisiana infantry, the Second engineers, First Virginia infantry, Forty- j ninth lowa, Sixth Missouri, First North Carolina, Second Illinois infantry and One Hundred and Sixty-first Indiana. McKinley’s Reception Great Throng of New Year Callers Paid Their Hespeots. Washington, Jan. 3.—President and Mrs. McKinley received the sea-sou's greetings yesterday from the great throng of callers representing every branch of public life, who attended the white house reception. It was the first time since the present administration began that circumstances permitted the observance of this custom, and this, as well as the happy and propitious circumstances under which the year begins, added to the interest and enjoyment surrounding the event. In the receiving line with the president and Mrs. McKinley were the members of the cabinet and the cabinet ladies, while back of the line stood many ladies from the army, navy, congressional and judicial circles. Among the most notable figures in the line of callers were the foreign ambassadors and ministers, in their rich diplomatic uniforms. Officers of the army and navy also were in full uniform, giving a brilliancy and dash to the occasion. General John N\ Andrews. St. Louis, Jan. 2. —Brigadier-General John N. Andrews, who has had command of a brigade of volunteer troops, has arrived here to take command of Jefferson Barracks, near this city. He will be in command of the troops to be sent from here to the Philippines, among which is the Twelfth Infantry, his old regiment. Senator Jones In Chicago. Chicago, Jan. 3. —Hon. James KJones, chairman of the Democratio national committee, came to Chicago yesterday to attend a meeting of the ways and means committee today. Seuators Teller and Allenoind ex-Cougres*maa Towue are also here. Technical education is making remarkable progress in London. The Cingalese children are said to be more beautiful than those of any other race. The present system of musical notation was invented in the eleventh century. The Kongo river has at one place 82 waterfalls within a distance of 154 miles. The distance from the farthest poiDt of polar discovery to the pole itself is 460 miles. Only one man in 700 pays income tax in India, thongh the tax is levied on all incomes of £33 and upward. An inch of rain falling npon an area of one square mile is equivalent to nearly 17,500,000 pounds or 64,844 tons. Ten years ago a kilogram of alnminium cost abont $7 in Germany. Today it costs less than one-tenth that sum. The French government taxes every ticket sold by a railway company. All the railways in France are run on Paris time. Canada has three of her sons sitting in the house of lords—viz, Baron Hali burton, Earl of Carnwath and Earl of Elgin. Boston claims to have the longest paved street of one name in the world, Washington street, which is 17miles in length. It is said that the proprietors of the London Times have cleared $150,000 by their republication of the Encyclopaedia Britannica. London and Liverpool are both at the level of the sea. Glasgow is 30 feet above it, Manchester is 50 feet and Birmingham 300 feet. It appears that there has recently been a large influx of Scotsmen into the Irish civil service, and the native press has discovered in this fact a crying national grievance. The famous old Guion liner the Alaska still lies, a deserted looking vessel, in the Cessnock dock. Time was when the Alaska was one of the pioneer greyhounds of the Atlantic.
