A LETTER TO WOMEN

From Mrs. James Corrigan. For seventeen years I have suffered. Periods were so very painful that I would have to go to the doctor every month. He said that I had an enlargement of the womb, and told my husband that I

must undergo an operation, as I had tumors in the womb, and it was a case of ( ~ life or death. I ■ I was operated upon /y' twice, but it / / did not seem [• W; to do me any / good, it made JI me very weak, A ’ I was troubled J with the leu- gg corrhoea a C* great deal. S 3 I also suffer- » ed with the | sick headache, / vomiting C?— spells, back- , ache all the

time, terrible pain in my left side, chills, loss of appetite, and could not sleep I nights. After taking several bottles of; Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com-* pound, some Liver Pills, and using your • Sanative Wash, I recovered. 1 can eat well, and every one that* sees me tells me I am a different per-1 son. I can do all my own work, sleep | well and feel well. I am growing* stronger every day, and am able to gos out and enjoy a walk and not feel all ; tired out when I rcturq, as I used to. IJ doctored for sixteen years, and in all i those years I did not feel as well as I do at the present time. I wish that every' woman that is troubled as I was, Would! try that medicine. Oh! it is so good* to feel well, and it is all owing to Mrs. t Pinkham's kind advice and medicine. —Mrs. James Corrigan, 2t*4 Center St.* Jamaica Plain, Mass.

Bubbles or Medals. “ Best sarsaparillas.” When you think of it how contradictory that term is. For there can be only one best in anything—one best sarsaparilla, as there is one highest mountain, one longest river, one deepest ocean. And that best sarsaparilla is ? .... There’s the rubl You can measure mountain height and ocean depth, but how test sarsaparilla ? You could if you were chemists. But then do you need to test it? The World’s Fair Committee tested it, —and thoroughly. They went behind the label on the bottle. What did this sarsaparilla test result in ? Every make of sarsaparilla shut out of the Fair, except Ayer’s. So it was that Ayer’s was the only sarsaparilla admitted to the World’s Fair. The committee found it the best. They had no room for anything that was not the best. And as the best, Ayer’s Sarsaparilla received the medal and awards due its merits. Remember the word “best” is a bubble any breath can blow; but there are pins to prick such bubbles. Those others are blowing more “best sarsaparilla” bubbles since the World’s Fair pricked the old ones. True, but Ayer’s Sarsaparilla has the tnedal. The pin that scratches the medal proves it gold. The pin that pricks the bubble proves it wind. We point to medals, not when we say; The best sarsaparilla is Ayer's.

OLDEST MERCHANT TAILOR.

William H. Smither of Versailles, Ky., Claims Thia Diatinptipo. William H. Smither, of Versaßlea, Ky., Is the oldest merchant tailor actively at work in the United States. He is 90 years old, and for seventy years, since 1827. he has steadily plied his needle and shears in a quaint little shop on Court Square, scarcely missing a day from his work. This veteran tailor has clothed as many as four generations in the same family and a number of Kentucky’s most illustrious sons, including John J. Crittenden and Senator J. C. S. Blackburn, have been his pat-

rons. Mr. Smither is hale‘and hearty, his hair and beard are only just beginning to turn white, and he has a perfect set of teeth. His eyesight is good and his bearing is erect. He has never used either tobacco or stimulants. He was a passenger on the initial trip made by the first steamboat that traveled in Kentucky waters, and attended a reception given to the Marquis de La Fayette fn Versailles in 1825. Mr. Smither’s wife, Drusilla Smither, who is 80 years old, is the oldest woman in the city. They have been married sixty-three yearh, and confidently hope to reach their set-enty-fifth anniversary.

Current Condensations.

Jacksonville, Fla., is to have a baby show for colored infants. The most extensive cemetery in the world is that at Rome, in which over 0,000,000 human beings have been interred. The British isles comprise 1,000 separate islands and islets, without counting mere jutting roeks or isolated pinnacles. According to the deductions of a well-known astronomer, we receive as much light from the sun as could be emitted by 080,000 full moons. Out of sixty arbitration treaties among the nations of the world since 1815, the United States has borne a part in thirty-two—far more than any other nation. Insects are for their size the strongest members of the animal creation. Many beetles can lift a weight equal to more than 500 times the weight of their own bodies. It was the belief of Livingstone that nearly all lions were ‘’left-handed.” He watched them closely, and when they desired to strike a fierce blow they always used the left paw. A large association of merchants, witli headquarters in New York City, has been formed for the purpose of putting a stop, if possible, to the practice of American tourists in bringing into this country jewelry and clothing bought abroad and upon which no duty is paid. Mrs. N. Lehman and daughter, of Jacksonville, Fla., driving in a buggy, With a single horse, started to cross the F. C. & P. Railroad tracks, when an engine under high speed tore the horse from the wagon and killed it, leaving the women seated in the buggy uninjured. A London court lias recently done something to settle the social status or artists’ models. A young woman" brought suit for breach of promise against a man who had promised to marry her, but had been alarmed’ by the discovery that instead of sitting for the head alone she had also sat for the figure, though not without drapery. The decision of the court was that the profession is respectable, and that she was entitled to damages. It lias recently been discovered that there is in Birmingham, in the very center of Christian England, a factory where idols are made for heathen nations! Idols of all kinds are turned out, representing the gods of all heathen nations from Tokio to Timbuctoo. The export trade to heathen countries is a fairly large one, although more goods are sent out to foreign dealers in curios in the bazars of Cairo, Damascus, Colombo, etc., for sale to unsuspecting travelers anxious to take home mementos. The Pope has Issued an order forbidding priests not belonging to the Roman diocese or not having any regular employment in Rome to dwell there. All priests who continue to stay in Rome in contravention of this rescript will be suspended. A note is also being taken of the resident priests who are seen out of doors after a certain hour, and measures will be taken against them in case they can plead no justification. There is an hour fixed In the evening by the ringing of the church bells vyhen all members of the clergy must be indoors.

EXPLAINS HIS BILL.

CHAIRMAN DINGLEY ON HIS NEW TARIFF MEASURE. Expects It to Yield $112,000,000 More Revenue—Reciprocity Is Prominent —Fire in St. Loui* Causes a Loss of Nearly $1,000,000. Dingley Tariff Bill. Chairman Dingley, of the Ways and Means Committee, in response to a reQuest that he furnish a synopsis of the new tariff bill presented by him makes the following statement : “The bill has two purposes—namely; to raise additional revenue and to encourage the industries of the United States. On the basis of the imjiortations for the last fiscal year the bill would increase the revenues about $112,000,000, divided among the several schedules roughly as follows: A, chemicals, $3,500,000; B, crockery and glassware, $4,000,000; C, metals, $4,000,000; D, wood, $1,750,000: E, sugar, $21,750,000; F, tobacco, $7,000,000; G, agricultural products. $(1,300,000; 11. liquors, $1,800,000; I, cottons, $1,700,000; J, jute, linen and hemp. $7,800,000: K, wool, $17,500,000; manufactures of wool, $27,000,000: L, silks. $1,500,000; M. pulp and paper, $58,000; N, sundries, $6,200,000. “This estimate is on the supposition that the imports of each class of goods would be the same the next fiscal year as in the fiscal year ended last June. The committee assumes that the excessive importation of wool would be largely reduced by the proposed bill, although the fact that our domestic production of wool has diminished 8,900,000 pounds since 1893 will necessitate the importation of much more wool now than in the latter year. Assuming that the importations of wool will fall off at least one-third from (hose of 1896 on account of anticipatory imports

CHAIRMAN DINGLEY, FATHER OF THE NEW TARIFF BILL.

to avoid duties, we place the increased revenue from this source at $11,000,000. Anticipating also that the imports of woolens will fall off nearly 50 per cent, from the enormous imports of 1896, we estimate the increased revenue from this source under the proposed rates nt about $14,000,000. From sugar we estimate $20,000,000 additional revenue. Anticipating a considerable falling off of imports of Havana tobacco because of the revolution in Cuba, we reduce the estimates of additional revenue to be derived from the tobacco schedule to $4,000,000. The remaining schedules would afford a revenue of about $39,500,000 on the basis of the imports of 1896, but as there would probably be diminished imports at some points, although the gradual restoration of business activity would offset this by increasing the consumption of imported luxuries, we reduce the estimates on these to $31,000,000. These would aggregate an additional revenue of $80,000,000 the first year. A further reduction of $5,000,000 or $10,000,000 for contingencies would leave $70,000,000 to $75,000,000 as the probable increased revenue from this bill the first year, which would undoubtedly rise to $100,000,000 the second year. “These estimates are below, rather than above, the probable result, unless a considerable delay in the enactment of the bill should greatly enlarge the opportunity for imports of articles on which duties are to be raised—particularly wool and woolens—for speculative purposes. Undoubtedly any delay beyond May 1 in placing the bill on the statute book would result in a large loss of revenue. “This increase of revenue is secured by transferring wool, lumber, crude opium, argols, paintings and statuary, straw ornaments, straw mattresses, burlaps and various other articles from the free list of the present law to the dutiable list; by increasing the duty on woolens to compensate the manufacturer for the duty placed on wool; by raising the duty on sugar about three-fourths of a eent a pound in order to encourage the production of sugar in this country, which, it is believed, can be done, and thus give our farmers a new crop, which we now import mainly from abroad; by increasing the duty on agricultural products affected by Canadian competition, and on the cotton goods, some advanced manufactures of iron and steel, manufactures of jute, flax and hemp, in order to encourage these and other industries here, and especially by increasing duties on such luxuries as liquors, tobacco, silks and laces. “As a rule the rates of duties proposed are between the rates of the tariff of 1890 and the tariff of 1894, such reduction of rates from the former law and preservation of the protective principle being made feasible by changed conditions. “The iron and steel schedule is changed very little from the schedule of the tariff of 1894. the change being entirely in the more advanced articles. The same is true of the cotton schedule. “In the agricultural, wood and glass and earthenware schedules alone are the duties of the act of 1890 fully restored as a rule, and in a few cases increased, with the view of amply protecting and encouraging our farming interests by every possible point. While the duty on clothing wool is larger in proportion to the foreign value than on manufactured articles, yet it is thought desirable for the public interest and for our agriculture that we should produce this prime necessity for ourselves. The duty on carpet wools, as well as upon many other articles, is imposed mainly for revenue. The irritation caused by the use of a few wools, heretofore classed as carpet wools, for

clothing purposes, has been remedied by transferring such wools tn the c+nthingwool classes, but the duty on clothing wool has been restored to the rata of theart of 1890. “In framing thia new tariff the aim has been to make the duties specific or at least partly specific, so far as possible, to protect the revenue and also to protect our own interests. The reciprocity provisions of the act of 1890 have not only been fully restored, but this policy has been extended by adding to sugar, tea, coffee and hides, as articles on which to make reciprocal agreements, such articles as champagne, brandy, wines, artificial and natural mineral waters, argols and silk laces. In adding these articles the reciprocity provision is strengthened greatly by providing for a redaction of duties to countries giving us similar concessions.”

FIRE VISITS ST. LOUIS.

Ely-Walker Dry Goode Co. Burned Ont-Los. $1,800,000. Fire Monday gutted the mammoth seven-story grauite building at the southwest corner of Bth street and Washington avenue, St. Ixiuis, Mo., occupied by the Ely-Walker Dry Goods Company. The loss will be close to $1,500,000. One human life was sacrificed and several people were hurt. The fire was one of the worst the St. Louis department has had to cope with for a long time, and for a while it looked as though tile Washington avenue wholesale business district would be wiped out. The building burned was known ns the Lionherger Building. It fronted on Washington avenue, running north along Bth street to St. Charles, and extended west on Washington avenue to the middle of the block. The firm’s enormous stock of goods was recently increased by immense purchases from the East, and consequently every inch of available floor space was occupied by great piles of dry goods of every description for the spring trade. The insurance on the stock is about sl,«

000,(XX). The building wan insured for $200,000. It was owned by the John R. Lionberger estate and was built about eight years ago at a cost of $500,000. Before the blaze was mastered one fireman, George Gaultwnld, was killed by a falling wall at the Bth street end of "the building, and during the fire several other firemen were more or less seriously injured. It is the opinion of the members of the Ely-Walker Company and officers of the fie department the fire was caused by an electric wire.

HUGE REVENUES.

The Customs Record at New York la Broken. A record which has stood for twentyfive years was broken at the New York custom house Monday. The payment of duties for goods importedmnd on account of merchandise withdrawn from bond was the largest for any single day since the office was established. Until Monday the high water mark for customs duties was Aug. 1, 1872, when the total receipts were $2,308,000. The receipts -Monday ran nearly $360,000 above that mark. The total receipts were $2,667,979.51, of which $2,178,515.36 was on account of withdrawn entries. Though similar from the fact that both were recordjlays, Aug. 1, 1872, and March 15, 1897, are vastly different in other respects. Fenrs, of higher duties to be imposed by the Congress called in extra session led to the present withdrawals and heavy payments. Twenty-five years ago the war tariff was reduced 10 per cent., and goods accumulated in bond to take advantage of the lower rates were withdrawn. The present movement started with the negotiation of heavy lines by the importers of linens, tobacco, wool, woolen dress goods and men’s wear goods and other merchandise that might be affected by the new tariff. The sugar trust, which has an abundance of money “on call,” asked for payment—or “called its loans” for the same purpose. The borrowing by general merchants and the calling by the trust had the effect of stiffening rates for time and call money and commercial paper.

Railroads In a Bad Plight.

St. Paul dispatch: Never in the history of the Northwest have railroads had so much to contend against because of drifting snow. It is stated that there are 200 cars of freight at initial points and elsewhere destined for towns off the main lines in the Dakotas and Minnesota that cannot reach their destination until branch lines are opened. There is suffering especially in South Dakota by reason of branch lines being closed. In that State over 500 miles of road have been practically abandoned for fully two weeks. At Mingo Junction, Ohio, wind blew off the iron roof of the cast house of the Junction Iron and Steel Company and the tall brick walls fell in. Frank Hobson and Larry Fahey were caught under the falling walls. Fahey was taken out dead, Hobson died i three hours later. John Weikas, a Hungarian, was badly crushed and will die. The London Daily Mail’s Cape Town correspondent states that Germany has recently landed large shipments of munitions of war at Walfisch Bay, a circumstance which causes suspicion. The Transvaal is also arming steadily, the shipments of ammunition, guns and artillery supplies from France alone amounting to 800 tons monthly.

Groan if You Must.

But also appeal to a means of relief of the torture—ls physical—which produces the groau. Rheumatism Is a prolific source of agony In Its aeute Inflammatory or chronic forms. But It may be annihilated at Its birth with Hoetetter's Stomach Bitters, which, un--like the poisons In minute doses often prescribed for It. Is perfectly safe. In malarial, kidney, bilious, dyspeptic or nervous ailments the Bitters is a certain source of relief.

The Oleander.

The history of the oleander Is almost coeval with the history of the human race. It was the rhododendron of the undents, and when we read of the rhododendron in the classical writings of the Greeks and Romans, the oleander is to be understood. The rhododendron, as we know It, was unknown to the andents, so far as evinced by the writings that have come down to us. The flowers occupied a prominent place in their funeral practices, and were especially employed in the funeral ceremonies of females.

A COUNTERFEITER CAUGHT.

The Police of Syracuse Make an Important Capture. On Monday, the loth, Harold Marquisee, of Utica, N. Y., was arrested in Syracuse, N. Y., on a warrant sworn out by the Dr. Williams* Medicine Co., charging him with forgery. On the 15th of December Marquisee visited a photo-engrav-er in Syracuse, saying he was the representative of the Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., and arranged for the making of u full set of plates for the direction slieetS; labels, etc., of the famous Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. News of this reached the home office, nnd no time was lost in arranging for his arrest when he should return for the plates. He returned on the 15th and was accordingly arrested and is uow in jail in Syracuse awaiting examination, which occurs on March 2. This arrest proves to be nu important one. In addition to various plunder, such ns medical books, typewriters, rugs, etc., found in Marquisee’s trunk when arrested, the police also found counterfeit coin both in the trunk and on his person; and in a search of his apartments at Utica found a complete outfit for counterfeiting. consisting of crucibles, bellows, nickel, lead, bismuth, antimony, n small blacksmith forge, a charcoal furnace, and several plaster-oNnaris moulds. The United States marshals want him just as soon as the Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co. are through vyith him, and, no doubt, he will be sentenced for a long period. In selecting Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for his counterfeiting operations, he showed his knowledge of the proprietary medicine business; tor these pills are in such great demand that they are easily sold at any drug store in the United States. His scheme wns to work the country druggists and sell his imitations at a discount of from 2 per eent. to 5 per cent., explaining the reduced price by the fact that he had picked them up in small lots and at a discount from dealers who were overstocked. By working fast and making long jumps, he would have secured many hundreds of dollars in a short time. The proprietors of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are most fortunate to have caught the rogue before he had fairly started, and to have thus kept these spurious goods out of the market.

Sulzer’s seeds grow and produce, and it pays to sow them. A bill which passed the Oklahoma Legislature contains a provision putting into effect “in the year of our Lord anno dominl 1807." This is almost as bad as the Oklahoma Senator who moved that “this body do now adjourn until 2 o’clock p. m. this afternoon.
