TO BE OR. NOT TO BE B7JOAGKD. A c«rtAln Indianapolis man, who has withstood the wiles of feminine charms for many years, has an interesting experience in store for him on this account. He is very popular with the women of hla acquaintance, but has never had the courage to decide which one he liked the best, and who could, therefore, be designated as his "best girl." An oldtime friend, a married woman, has for years promised herself the pleasure of giving a dinner for him and his “best girl." but she finally became convinced that thie would never occur. In remonstrating with him, the man in question rashly consented to allow her to give the dinner and herself select the young woman to occupy the place of honor Now she declares that the difficult task of choosing is almost completed, and the man has tried in vain to have her reveal the name. Should he enlist and be out of danger by going to Cuba, or should he take the affair into his own hands and become at last engaged? Either alternative fills him with alarm, but neither seems as bad as submitting to the first set of conditions.

THE AMERICAN •

HOUSE PARTY.

The house-party, which is such an established affair of English society, ia fast winning more and more popularity In America. In the mother country, one Is really not admitted into the society of a certain "set” until an invitation has has come to Join a small party going to the country house of a friend for a week or a fortnight The party is made up with the greatest care, and only people who are known to be congenial are asked at the same time. The American house-party is as often given In the city home as In the country, and it is frequently used to bring together friends from different places, of whom the hostess is very fond, and whom she Is anxious should be friends. This Is an experiment which the ordinary American woman la equal to, but which would appear & task to the English woman. [WRITE THEIR OWN BIOGRAPHIES. A number of tfomen have been visited lately by a stranger, who Is making a list of "the noted woman of Indianapolis" for some publication. Each woman has been requested to write her own biography, and thus to display her claims to admission on the list If she Is able to tell enough wonderful things about herself to convince her critics of her eligibility, she will be allowed to figure as "a noted woman." Ancestry is to count a great deal, and the one who can trace her family tree back to the tenth century will stand a good showing If her own achievements are above the Average at all.

90CIAJL ACTIVITY. The social season, which seemed about to come to an untimely end when the announcement of w-'j* came, has revived somewhat during the past week, and Invitation lists are not entirely blank. The fear of all the horrors of war came with the call for the mlHtia, and active preparations, but the victories have brought a feeling of reassurance, and there are few who expect to suffer directly’from It. Then, too, when one looks about, there are plenty of men who are not going to war, although the ones that go will be the lions when they return. FAR FOR HORSEWOMEN. For the ardent horsewoman there is a fad which an Indl&napolia girl has brought home from Germany! It is In wearing as a bracelet the horse’s bit of your "best young man.” The bit Is separated, and the circlet for the arm Is formed by the Insertion of links of gold. Society Affairs. Mrs. H. B.

They Are Not Cot, but Instead Ribbons Are Palled. For a home wedding the last and most artistic touch of festivity centers in the bride’s cakes and the cutting thereof. The cutting has a drawback. If the cake is as rich as It becomes a bride’s cake to be, the cutters are apt to have fingers slightly greasy, and a thought sticky when they are through. But that keeps no young woman from trying her fate by its auguries. Nevertheless, she would try It with better grace if she could manage to do it without detriment to her gloves, or Bolling the tips of her dainty fingers. All this was achieved at a swell wedding down South, not so long ago. The wedding supper table was set' in the form of a fan. The bride’s cake was another fan, Iced all over so as to resemble point lace, with a bouquet of orange blossoms in icing, where the sticks joined. It was exceedingly pretty. The novelty, however, was In the ribbons — short lengths of white satin ribbon, which came through the icing all around the fan’s outer edge. The ring, the 5-cent piece, darning needle and so on, were made fast to some of the ribbons. Instead of cutting, each young woman pulled a ribbon. If fihe drew blank, well and good—if she happened to lay hold on a freighted length, she ftad to accept her fate.

Pension for Cassius M. Clay. Washington. D. C., May 14.—The House, In committee of the whole, voted to grant a pension of $50 per month to Maj.-Gen. Cassius M. Clay, of Whitehall, Ky. The veteran of Mexican and civil wars was represented as the owner of the extensive estate known as “Whitehall.” but with an income insufficient to meet his expenses. General Clay is now drawing $6 per month as a Mexican veteran, and is eighty-four years of age. A bill granting a pension to the widow of Brig.-Gen. Daniel Macauiey was acted upon favorably. A total of forty-six billa were passed in committee of the whole and six were passed finally by the Htyise. Steamer Line to Hong-Kong;. Los Angeles, Cal., May 14.—A number of local capitalists and men interested in the transportation lines in southern Cali fornia are forming a company to put on a line of steamers between San Pedro and Hong-Kong, to touch at Honolulu and Manila, the probability of Hawaii and the Philippine islands becoming United States possessions having stimulated them to the venture. Abbot Kinney, a capitalist of this city, is one of the leaders of the company.

Earl of Aberdeen Resigns. London, May 14.—It is officially announced that the Queen has accepted the resignation of the E;;ri of Aberdeen as Governor-General of Canada, to which office he was appointed in 1895.

THEY ARE ROUGHING IT IN CAMP LIKE VETERAN'S.

The Interesting Personnel of Roosevelt’s Regiment of Mounted Riflemen—The Red Cross Society— Strong Women Desired.

[Special Correspondence Indianapolis News.] New York. May 12.—The relatives of the forces collected on Hempstead plains are beginning to feel uneasy about the w’arriors, who have been spending their time under soaked canvas in the midst of a wind-swept, saturated plain. From Hempstead Itself comes no complaint. There are colds by the dozen reported, and one case of pneumonia was brought into the city for treatment. But on the whole, they seem to be thriving, though many of them are men of luxurious habits, unused to roughing it. To these the camp diet is more of a trial than the weather. What must be the feelings of a New Y'ork club man when he is forced to breakfast on a cup of black coffee and a slice of pie? But 'neither the trifling hardships of wet wteather and a poor bill of fare, nor the genuine hardships of a campaign in a pestilent climate against a savage enemy, con check the enthusiasm of the hundreds who are rushing to enlist. Roosevelt’s regiment is made up, and detachments of it are already gathering at the meeting place—San Antonio, in Texas. The eyes of all the United States are fixed on this heterogeneous assemblage of men, which seems to represent the spirit of adventure that is breaking out in so many strange ways at the end of the nineteenth century. Many of the “Roosevelt Rough Riders” are like those young men of whom Kipling wrote, who heard "the Red God’s calling," and follow the call into the wild life of the wilderness and battlefield. Many' College Men. Of the 780 members of the regiment, forty are college men. Some are of high standing in the world of athletics, such as Dean, the famous quarter-back from Harvard; Bull, of the Harvard crew, and Devereux. of the Princeton team. Others are the sons of families of high social position and great wealth. Hamilton Fish, Jr., and Townsend Burden, Jr., have come down from Cambridge to join the ranks of “Teddy's Terrors.” Side by side with these pampered scions of the 400 will ride members of the New York police, punchers, rough riders and vaqueros from Arizona, Oklahoma and the wdld country about the Mexican border. Altogether, the personned of "the Mounted Riflemen,” as the regiment. Is to be called, is going to be decidedly pictureque. Beside the mounted police and the college boys, older men, members of crack New York clubs and old New York families have joined Colonel Roosevelt’s forces. Among these are Woodbury Kane, Colonel Delaney Kane’s brother, and William Tiffany, the cousin of Perry and O. H. P. Belmont. William Tiffany has already had quite a varied career. He is one of the two young men who, some years ago, finding themselves short of money, went Into the florist business and opened that particular flower shop which bears the name of “The Rosary.” The main office of "The Rosary” Is on Fifth avenue, opposite the Manhattan Club. There Is also a branch establishment in Newport. Craig Wadsworth, one of the Genesee Wadsworths, a family of great possessions and famous for their prowess in the hunting field, have also joined the regiment. And there is a story that Pierre Lorilterd Ronalds has followed his example. Mr. Ronalds is one of those Anglo-Americans who have spent most of their time on the other side. He is the son of that Mrs. Ronalds who has been a beauty and a belle In London for the last twenty years. The English have pronounced her to be the most fascinating American woman who has ever brightened May-fair by her presence. There is a story going the rounds that these four men have taken their valets with them. One may take this with as large or as small a grain of salt as one likes, but a man servant, es-

pecially if he has a cool head, might be a very useful addition to the impedimenta of a soldier. Did not those four ideal warriors of whom Dumas wrote have their rm n servants? What would "The Three Guardsmen, that were four.” have been without Planchet, Bazin, Mousqueton and Grimand? General Recruiting Stopped. The general recruiting that has been going on for the past three or four weeks has suddenly come to a stop. The tents that bloomed in Madison and Union Squares have disappeared like mushro mts. The Government's refusal to accept the hastily-formed regiments was probably the cause of this subsiding of the burst of pavement patriotism. For the most part it seemed to be looked upon as a sort of grand joke. Several times I stood in the crowd about one of these ’’recruiting tents” and noticed that the spectators were inclined to regard the ceremony of enlisting as a performance of the opera boutfe order. Now and then a more sensitive onlooker became offended at the tone of hilarity which prevailed. That William Astor Chanler’s regiment was rejected has not damped his ardor. He has gone to fight with Gomez. Mr. Chanler is emphatically one of the young men who can not resist "the call of the red gods.” He is imbued with the spirit of unrest and adventure which marks so many men, who are tired of the conventions of civilization and that dreariness of life which haunts those who have money to satisfy every whim. But apart and beyond that, his patriotism is strongly aroused. The whole Chanler family are violently and deeply interested In the war. One of the sisters attempted to go as a Red Cross nurse, but was refused. - The Red Cross Society, by the way, are turning away hundreds of applicants. Women, without training and without the least qualifications, for that most arduous and terrible work, are continually applying for positions. While the Red Cross Society requires the regular training in most of its followers, it will take those who have not gone through the course, provided they are strong, fitted in every way for the work required of them and willing to take the Red Cross oath. But the society has no desire to cumber itself with young and delicate women, who have never experienced any sort of exposure or been subjected to any less serious strain than that Involved in a little overstudy at Barnard College or a little over-fatigue from too much society-go-ing. They would break down before they had been a month at work. Even under the most advantageous conditions, nursing has been found to be too severe for the average American woman. Some days since a doctor was talking over this subject with me and told me that almost all the best nurses in New York now were Canadians. While the American women were clever and quick at the work, they had neither the nerves nor constitutions to stand it. A few years of it undermined the strength of the healthiest and returned them to their families worn out and broken down—and this In the comfortable environment of a hospital or a home. A Picture Full uf Interest. To turn from such serious topics to lighter things, a picture, which has just appeared In one of Yhe great dailies, has been viewed with the most Intense and sensational interest. The picture, which Is from a phtograph, Is that of three handsome women—tall, statuesque and In type somewhat suggestive of the lowbrowed, straight-featured, stately women of old Rome. This suggestion ils Intensified by the fact that they wear a sort of classic dress of flowing draperies, while their hairs are arranged in loose and picturesque curls, bound with fillets of ribbon or pearls. Of these “Three Graces”name which, it is needless to say, everybedy has given the picture—one is the eldest Miss Dresser, one ts the Miss Chanler, who a short while since married Mr. John Jay Chapman, and the third is the Miss Edith Stuyvesant Dresser, who Is the fiancee of Mr. George Vanderbilt. Society has at last satisfied itself that Mr. Vanderbilt’s engagement is a bona ode one, and Its congratulations are speeding across the Atlantic to Paris. For the last ten years Mr. Vanderbilt has not been able to show the most ordinary civilities-to any marriageable woman without the announcement of his engagement appearing in half a dozen papers. This is one of the penalties of being prominently in the public eye. Mary Anderson suffered in the same way. During her successful English tour a diligent press engaged her to every bachelor of prominence in England. At one time her approaching marriage to (Che Duke of

Portland, the gentleman to whom H is! said the Prince of Wales desired to marry J one of his daughters, was authoritatively | announced in the American and English i papers. Miss Dresser Is a woman of position, education and talents. She is the third daughter of the late Captain Dresser, is thirty years of age. exceedingly handsome and highly educated. Until within j the last few years the Dressers lived in j -•.ewport, but lately they have been traveling abroaa. It was on a yachting trip to me North Cane that Mr. Vanderbilt met her. A friendship was formed which, after the yachting party separated, was continued through letters. This spring they met again in Paris, and their engagement soon followed. Her Fortune ts Small. Unlike most very rich people. Mr. Vanderbilt has chosen a fiancee whose fortune is small. Of late millionaire® have shown a distinct tendency to marry millionairesses. Even in the Vanderbilt family, among the Junior members, money has generally married money. The Dressers are what, in fashionable society, would be looked upon as poor. They have, however, made rich mat cites, one of the sisters marrying John Nicholas Brown, a Providence millionaire, tnd another the Rev. Mr. Merrill, of Tuxedo, who Is also accredited with the possession of a large fortune. The only son, Leroy Dresser, an exceptionally handsome man, married Miss Burnham, an heiress in her own right In personal appearance this remarkably fortunate family ore distinguished by great hight, and that type cf good looks ; which comes from distinction of bearing and blooming health. They have at once ' that freshness and vigor of appearance which marks so many English women, and the intellectual fineness of feature wb’ch is peculiar to the American. Miss Edith Dresser is a veritable daughter of the gods, nearly six feet In j hight, and with the stately carriage j which is popularly ascribed to princessea j She Is a woman of the highest education, adding to it that cosmopolitan polish i which comes from a long sojourn in j Europa The future chatelaine of Bittmore is said to be not only a brilliant conversationist, but a wide reader. Mr. Vanderbilt nlmself is a quiet, studious man, close upon forty, and fonder of his books and his pictures than of that world of society in which the old commodore’s descendants row shine. He Is not. as It has been stated, the wealthiest bachelor in New York, though he would probably come second In a list of u! attached men whose fortunes number more than six naughta The richest unmarried man in New York is Eugene Higgins, a man of much the same age as Mr. Vanderbilt. Mr. Higgins has lately been causing some anxiety to a solicitous government by the fact that he has been yachting in the Mediterranean, where it v as feared he would fall Into the clutches of a Spanish privateer.

FIBROID TUMOR CONQUERED.

Expelled by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound—Strong Statement from Mrs. B. A. Lombard,

One of the greatest triumphs of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound ia the conquering of woman's dread enemy. Fibroid Tumor. The growth of these tumors is so sly that frequently their presence is not an* pected until they are far

advanced.

So-called '* wandering pains”may come from its early stages, or the presence of danger may be made manifest by excessive menstruation accompanied by unusual pain extending from the ovaries down the groin

and thighs.

If you have mysterious pains, if there are indications of inflammation or displacement, don’t wait for time to confirm your fears and go through the horrors of a hospital

A Small Spot May be Cancer! I “It was merely a mole at first, and for a long time was so insignificant that I gave it no thought whatever,” These words of a recent correspondent contain an accurate description of the first symptoms of the most violent and destructive cancers as they appear in nine cases out of ten. A slight scab, a small sore, a lump in the breast—a mere spo/, harmless as they appear for a time, have developed into cancers of the most dangerous and obstinate form. Cancer is becoming so prevalent that such symptoms as the above, which refuse to heal and disappear under ordinary treatment, may well be regarded with suspicion. Being a blood disease, it is folly to expect Cancer to be cured by a surgical operation. The knife never did and never will cure a blood disease, and every time it is resorted to, a life is threatened with sacrifice. . The only known cure for this dreadful disease is S. S. S. (Swift’s Specific), as is shown by the indisputable testimony of the many whom it has cured.

Mr. A. H. Crausby, of 158 Kerr St.. Memphis, Tenn., says that his wife paid no attention‘to a small lump which appeared in her breast, but it soon developed into a cancer of the worst type, and notwithstanding the treatment of the best physicians, it continued to spread and grow rapidly, eating two holes in her breast. The doctors soon pronounced her incurable. A celebrated New York specialist then treated her, but she continued to grow worse and when informed that both her aunt and grandmother had died from cancer, he gave the case up as hopeless. Some one then recommended S. S. S..and though little hope remained, she begun it, and an improvement was noticed. The cancer commenced to heal, and when she had taken seven bottles it disappeared entirely, and although several years have elapsed not a sign of the disease has ever returned.

Mr. William Walpole, of Walshtown, South Dakota, writes: “About three years ago, there came under my left eye a little blotch about the size of a small pea. It grew rapidly, and shooting pains ran in every direction. I became alarmed and consulted a good doctor, who pronounced it cancer, and said that it must be cut out. This I would not consent to, having little faith in the indiscriminate use of the knife. Reading of the many cures made by S. S. S., I determined to give that medicine a trial, and after I had taken it a few days, the cancer became irritated and began to discharge. This after awhile ceased, leaving a small scab, which finally dropped off, and only a healthy little scar remains to mark the place where the destroyer had held full sway.

Your lefter will be seen by women only, and yon need have no hesitation about being perfectly frank. Read what Mbs. B. A. Lombard, Box 71, Westdale, Mass., says: “I have reason to think that I would not be here now if it had not been for Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It cured me of a fibroid tumor in my womb Doctors could do nothing for me, and they could not cure me at the hospital. I will tell you about it. I had been in my usual health, but had worked quite hard. When my monthly period came on I flowed very badly. The doctor gave me medicine, but it did me no good. He said the flow must be stopped if possible, and he must find the cause of my trouble. Upon examination he found there was a fibroid tumor in my womb, and gave me treatment without any benefit whatever. About that time a lady called on me and recommended Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound; said she owed her life to it. I said I would try it, and did. Soon after the flow became more natural and regular. I still continued taking the Compound for some time. Then the doctor made an examination again, and found everything all right. The tumor had passed away, and that dull ache was trone.”
