gs* THREE HAPHWOm. Each Relieved of Periodic Pain and Backache. A • Trio of Fervent Letters. Before using Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, my health was gradually being undermined. I suffered untold agony from painful menstruation, backache, pain on top of my head and ovarian V iWSSm***) trouble. I concluded to try Mrs. Pinkham’s 's* Compound, and found that it was all any woR*& JftSfßffiitl man needs who suffers with painful monthly periods. It entirely cured me.—Mrs. George Wass, 023 l>ank St.* Cincinnati, O. For years I had suffered with painful menstruation every month. At the beginning of menstruation it was impossible for me to stand up for more than /( /via five minutes, 1 felt so miserable. One day a little book of Mrs. Pinkham’s was thrown into my house,and w. sHh I sat right down and read it. I then got tome of Lydia 1 v* E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills. I v W can heartily say that to-day I feel like a new woman; lyy | my monthly suffering is a thing of the past. I shall always praise the “Vegetable Compound forwhatithas done for me.—Mrs. Margaret Anderson, I6S Lisbon St. I , Lewiston, Me. Lydia E.

PRACTICAL KINDNESS.

Oae Hundred Thousand Grateful 6*l- - These war times have tried men’s souls in many unexpected ways, but like a shaft of sunshine and good cheer pot of the cloud of privation and endurance has been the work that The American Tobacco Co. has done among the U. S. soldiers and)' sailors ever since the war began—for" when they discovered that the camps and. hospitals were not supplied with tobacco they decided to provide them, free of cost, with enough for every man, and have already given outright to our soldiers and sailors over one hundred thousand pounds: of “Battle Ax Plug” and “Dnke’a Mixture” Smoking Tobacco, and have bought and distributed fitly thousand briar wgod pipes, at hjotal cost of between fifty and sixty thousand dollars. This work has been done quietly and thoroughly, by establishing headquarters in each camp so that every camp and every hospital of the United States army has been supplied with enough tobacco for every man and the sailors on thirty United States ships in Cuban waters have shared with the soldiers this most welcome of all “rations,” o Perhaps it will be only fair to remember when we hear the remark again that “corporations hate no souls,” that there is one American corporation whose soul has been tried and has not been found wanting in “practical kindness.”

Athletic Sports.

Boys naturally are Inclined to the sports of field and lake. They have a surplus of energy which must be worked off, and the various games they play are the safety value. But, besides fulfilling tbis office, athletics can be made the occasion of the Instilling of most useful lessons in the building up of a boy’s character. To become successful as an athlete, much restraint Is necessary. This is called training, and no one without training can ever hope to merit distinction. Thus, early in life, a lesson of restraint Is taught, and taught by means of exercises that are enjoyable. Besides, In the excitement of play, sometimes occasions arise when feelings of resentment and anger arise and quarrels are imminent. Now if good nature is required at any time It Is during the games that are played. Those who participate in them quickly learn this, and gradually a habit of self-control is acquired -a habit which will be most beneficial In later life.

In this way, besides the strengthening of muscle and the building np of a healthy system, our boys can strengthen their moral character and lay the foundation of good qualities that will make them truly men in the best sense of the word.

Stamped Bicycle Frames.

Bicycle frames stamped out in two halves by one operation from a steel plate are a recent Birmingham novelty. The halves are clamped together, and though the frame is not so elqgant as one made by another process it is perfectly rigid and can be made at a coat of $2 instead of $12.50. Of the 4,500 white laborers who built the Congo railway, 900 succumbed to the climate in two years. Of 7,000 black laborers, all but 3,500 died or deserted.

DEATH IN THE STORM

: Ontario and new york towns • t WRECKED. Fierce Wind Sweeps a Wide Path of Deatrnctlon Four Persons Killed Outright—Mills, Dwellings and PnfoWc Buildings Demolished. Many parts of the province of Ontario were visited by a tornado which in destructiveness! to property and life has not been equaled in the Dominion of Canada for many years. The full force of the unwelcome visitor seemed to be reserved for the twin towns of Merritton and St. Catherines, and Merritton particularly is marked by long lanes of debris. The tornado struck St. Catherines about 3:46 in the afternoon, passing over the town rapidly and demolishing the roofs of a number of public and private buildings. Gathering in force and speed, it struck Merrittuu five minutes later, with appalling results. The armory, collegiate institute, First Presbyterian Church, St. Paul’s Church, Lower End school and the acetylene power house were completely destroyed. The roof of the Lincoln Paper Company mills was swept away, with part of the walls. Four persons were killed and four employes of the paper company wore fatally injured. Mrs. John Biekley was killed by the falling of a house. Miss Ida Smith, a teacher in the Lower End school, with great bravery stuck to her post and did her utmost to get the scholars out of dan-: ger, but Frank Moffatt, a 7-year-old pupil, was killed and forty of the youngsters besides Miss Smith were injured. After passing through the town the tornado traveled southeast with much diminished velocity. Damage was done in smaller towns, but no further fatalities have been reported. A terrible windstorm struck Tonawandu, N. Y., between 4 and 5 o’clock the same afternoon. Houses and barns were smashed to kindling wood, trees uprooted and many persons injured/ Samuel Monnett, a milk wagon driver, was caught in the storm and is believed to be fatally injured. Mrs. Charles Peters and Mrs. Henry Peters, the latter carrying an infant, wctc picked up and hurled violently against a building. Both women were found unconscious. It is estimated that the damage to property will reach SIOO,000.

into two posts, makiilg Gen. Zuriinden governor of Paris and Gen. Jarnont com-mander-in-chief of the army. The former is regarded as one of the most efficient officers in The service. He entered the army in 1850 and was a captqin during the Franco-Prussian war. With Marshal Bazaine he was taken prisoner at Metz and afterward made a romantic escape from the fortress of t>pando.

FANNY DAVENPORT DEAD.

Great Emotional Actress Falls a Victim to Heart Disease. Fanny Davenport, the great emotional actress, died at her summer home, Melbourne hall, at Duxbury, Mass., of enlargement of the heart. Miss Davenport became seriously ill while filling an engagement in Chicago last spring and the nervous prostration which followed aggravated an existing heart affection of long standing. She had been sinking steadily since last July. Fanny Davenport came from good old theatrical stock. Her father was Ecrtvnrd Loomis Davenport, who begat; his dtfreer pn the stage in Boston. Her. the daughter of Frederick Vining*. manager of the Haymarket Theater, London, and herself a favorite actress in both England and America. Fanny wasborrt in London April 10,1850. She early (showed signs of talent, which later charn|?d j;wo continents. At the nge of 6 sue spoke her first lines on the stage in the Chambers Street Theater in New York. She first attained prominence as the leading lady of Daly’S Fifth Avenue Theater, and inl 1873 she began her career as a star, which was constantly marked with triumphs.

Many Dying of Typhoid.

Private advices from Dawson, Alaska, say that the filthy condition of the arctic town has resulted in an epidemic of typhoid fever. It was estimated a few days ago that there were 3,000 cases of typhoid in Dawson, with many deaths daily. There was only a feeble effort to clean up the place, and most of the people seemed content to take their chances until winter should freeze up the filth.

Anarchists Are Driven Out.

A dispatch from Vienna says all the anarchists known to the police in BudaPesth have been arrested nnd expelled. Forty persons have been arrested in Vienna and all anarchist organizations have been suppressed. The police are equally active in Trieste and in Prague.

MRS. w. A. BOTKIN.

friend, Mrs. C ” A Mrs. C in San Francisco had once been under obligations to Mrs. Dunning, and she was evidently sending her old friend this little token of memory. On the porch steps with Mrs. Dunning sat her sister. Mrs. Joshua Deane, with her children, Harry, Elizabeth and Leila; also a Miss Bateman and two or three other children who had stopped to chat with Mrs. Deane’s little ones. Candies were soon passed round and their excellent quality commented upon. That night Mrs. Deane, Mrs. Dunning and several others of the little party were taken violently ill. Two days afterward Airs. Dunning and Mrs. Deane were dead, and the rest of the party was under vigorous treatment for arsenical poisoning. Capt. Pennington, the father of the poisoned women,,had one of the ehoeolates analyzed. It, contained enough arsenic to kill two persons. The Penningtqns are an old and respected Delaware family. Capt. Pennington was at one time Attorney General of the State, His daughters Elizabeth and Ida, now dead, were at one time the belles of the capital. Ida married Joshua Deane, a merchant of Dover, and Elizabeth married John Preston Dunning, a young lawyer, who had studied in Dover and who.

MRS. DUNNING.

shortly after his*- marriage, went West with his wife. He did a great deal of traveling, and when sent out on long trips his wife usually came East to her father's home. It was for this reason that she was in Dover at the time of her death. Dunning, who was in Porto Itico as a war correspondent at the time of the poisoning, it seems was on friendly terms with a Mrs. Ada Botkin of Stockton, Cai. He corresponded with her and they were fast friends. Suspicion was directed to this woman, and she was arrested. When questioned, she openly admitted that she loved Dunning and corresponded with him. The fatal box was mailed in San Francisco Aug. 4. Mrs. Botkin was there on that date. A confectioner remembers a woman coming into his store, purchasing half a box of candies and filling the box up with some of her own. The box was mailed at station B in San Francisco. A young man remembers seeing a woman drop such a box at Station B on that date. These men will try to identify Mrs. Botkin. An expert is comparing the handwriting on the packages and in the letters sent to Mrs. Dunning with Mrs. Botkin’s known Jjaudwriting. Mrs. Botkin was very calm when she was arrested, but on her way from Stockton to San Francisco-she became nervous and excited and it was thought she would break down. Dunning has returned from Forto Rico. He says he has evidence that will startle the community, but will not tell it till he is put on the witness stand.

Many Persona at Lima, Ohio, Are Buried in Rnina of Homes. The worst storm ever experienced in that section struck the northeastern part of Lima, Ohio, the other day, causing loss of life and serious damage to property. Its starting point was about three miles east and small buildings were leveled. Jacob Bozee’B barn was wrecked and people were buried beneath the ruins.

The Detroit and Lima Northern Railway repair shops were ffilown over and the men escaped by getting beneath ap engine. In the southern part of the city many houses suffered. The western part of the town was badly damaged in places, the city water works building being unroofed.

ORGANS ALL REVERSED.

Doctors Find Strange Conditions in the Body of a Suicide. Cleophas Gregoire committed suicide at Oakland, Cal. The abnormal conditions disclosed by the post-mortem examination of Gregoire are almost without parallel in medical history. There was a complete reversal of the normal conditions of the heart, lungs and liver, r and the stomach had been crowded out of its natural place. One of the chief arteries, known in anatomy as the innominate, 'did not exist in this strangely instituted man, yet the evidence of his perfect health was manifest in his sound body.

Liquor Bonds Must Be Taxed.

The commissioner of Internal revenue has decided that bonds which are required of liquor dealers by State laws and are given to State excise commissioners must each bear stamps to the value of 50 cents, and if the bond is guaranteed'by a surety company, must pay an additional tax of U cent for esch $1 of premium paid.
