Three Letters from Mrs. Johnson, Showing that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound Cures the Ills of W omen Wrote for Hr*. Pinkham’s Advice November, i 897 “ Dear Mrs. Pinkham : —I am a great sufferer, have much trouble through the lower part of my bowels, and I am writing to you for advice. Menses are irregular and scanty, am troubled with leucorrhoea, and I ache so through my back and down through my loins. I have spells of bloating very badly, sometimes will be very large and other times very much reduced.” —Mbs.Chas. E. JobNSON, Box 33, Bumford Center, Maine, Nov. 20,1897. Improvement Reported December, i 897 “ Dear Mrs. Pinkham :—I wish to tell you that I am improving in health. I am ever so much better than when I wrote before. The trouble through the lower part of bowels is better and lam not bloated so badly. I was very much swollen through the abdomen before I took Lydia E. I’inkham's Vegetable Compound.

MORE QUIT THE MINES

STRIKERS ARE ENCOURAGED BY FIRST WEEK OF FIGHT. Detailed Reports Indicate a Big Gain for United Mine Workers—Operators Are Resolute in the Determination Not to Yield. The beginning of tile second week of the strike showed a slight gain for the strikers. Official reports to the United Mine-workers indicate that in the whole anthracite field more than IX) per cent of the men are on strike. There is now a total of 130,000 of 142,000 men out. Almost all of those, who have come out have joined the union and promised that they will, not return to work until the operators have made a settlement in a conference with the representatives of the union. This is a new” and important condition of the strike. When the first meeting, at which the demands of the miners were formuluted, was heldfin Hazleton less than 10 per cent of the men in the anthracite region were members of the union. When President Mitchell spoke in Jeddo not more than 50 per cent of the men were memjjers of the union, and when he was leaving many of the women followed and jeered him. Now all but one colliery in the Jeddo district is closed down. The greatest gains made by the strikers are in tin# section patrolled by the State troops, where the union had hitherto showed the greatest weakness. Practically every mine in' the neighborhood of Shenandoah and Malinnoy City Was In operation before the riots Friday. All are now closed, and the prospect .of get-

ting men to work there seems small. The confidence of the strikers is growing as their strength increases. Mine Owners Resolute. Men long familiar with the anthracite region say that never before have they seen the mine owners so resolute In their determination not to yield an inch as.they now are. Rightly or wrongly, they contend , that they are the victims of a conspiracy to put the anthracite region into the control of labor leaders who are foreign to the region and even to the State. In addition to this the mine owners say that conditions 'are so different in different portions of the anthracite region that to come to any general agreement on the lines proposed by the mine workers’ union would be an impossibility. For these reasons the operators seem as adamant in their determination to have no dealing with Mr. Mitchell and his organization. So far as they are concerned, they say that if the leaders succeed the strike general, it will be a record-breaker for length unless the miners themselves give in. In their review of the strike situation in the anthracite region the operators say: “The situation in the Wyoming

and Lackawanna valleys is unchanged. In the Schuylkill region, as soon as the excitement incideut to the arrival of the troops dies out, a general resumption of operations is expected.” Ktntetncnt of the Strikers. The United Mine Workers of the Wilkesbarre district issued the following statement: “The eighth day of the strike shows the men in the Wyoming region to be more united than ever. All the mines In the district are idle, and three washeries which were in operation the greater part of lust week are not now in operation. Our men are quiet and orderly and gaining accessions to their ranks every day. A new society of United Workers was organized nt Pittston. The men in that section are thoroughly organized now. The minors of Ashley ore also well organized. On the whole the situation is very encouraging.” Sixteen thousnud more mine operatives are idle in what Is known ns the Mnhnnoy valley, which extends fourteen miles along Broad mountain. The action of the men Is a surprise to the military and the miue owners. It was entirely unlocked for, and has given renewed courage to the strike lenders. They declare that the mine workers around Shenandoah have gone out on a *ympathy strike. The authorities have received warning Of Impending trouble around Hazleton and desire to move some of the troops h that, direction.

JOHN M. PALMER DEAD.

Lawyer, Soldier, Statesman Paaaes . Away of Heart Disease. Gen. John M. Palmer, former Governor of Illinois aud United States Senator, gold Democrat candidate for President in 1896, and one of the great generals in the Union army in the Civil War, died suddenly at his home in Springfield, at 8 o’clock Tuesday morning. During Monday evening Gen. Palmer was apparently in his usual health and spirits about town mingling with his old associates. After returning home he complained of an intense shooting pain hi the chest,

around the heart. The family physician was called and Gen. Palmer obtained some relief, but the pain continued ttoe greater part of the night, and the doctor was called in several times. Shortly before 8 o’clock in the morning Gen. Palmer passed peacefully away. John McCauley Palmer was born in Eagle Creek, Scott County, Ky., on Sept. 13, 1817. I‘n 1832 he removed to Illinois and in 1839 settled in Carlinville. He' was admitted to the bar in 1840 and was delegate to the State constitutional convention in 1817. lie was a member of the State Senate 1852-54, ,a delegate to the-TratTonaHtepiiblicxm convention in Philadelphia in ISSG, a Presidential elector on the Republican ticket of 1800 and a delegate to the peace convention in Washington, Feb. 4, 1801. He was elected Colonel of the Fourteenth Illinois Volunteers in April, 1801, accompanied Gen. John C. Fremont in his expedition to Springfield, Mo., and was commissioned brigadier general of volunteers in December of the same year. He was with Gen. John Pope at the capture of New Madrid and Island No. 10, and afterward commanded the First Brigade, First Division, of the Army of the Mississippi. In November, 1802, he was with Gen. Grant's army in temporary command of a division. Subsequently he led a division at the battle of Stone River, and for his gallantry there was promoted to major general of Volunteers Nov. 29, 1802. lie participated in the battle of Chiebamanga and led the Fourteenth Army Corps in the Atlanta campaign from May until September. 1804. From 1809 to J. 573 he was Governor of Illinois In 1891 he was elected United States Senator and served a full term. The gold-Democrats placed the name of Senator Palmer before the Indianapolis convention of 1890, and he was nominated on the first ballot for the Presidential office.

TO QUELL FILIPINOS.

Fleet Will Blockade Luzon in Kffort to Knd Insurrection. The Navy Department is strengthening the United "States naval forces on the Asiatic station. Admiral Schley’s South American squadron, already small, will be still further depleted by the departure of the gunboat Wilmington from Montevideo In a few days. The Albany, now in the Mediterranean, is under orders to go to China nt once via the Sties Canal, and the gunboats Annapolis and the Vicksburg and the converted yacht Dorothea will leave American waters ns soon as they can be put in commission. The fleet under Admiral Remey will he still further augmented by the battleship Kentucky, which, with the other cruisers and gunboats now on the Asiatic station, will bring the strength of our naval force in Oriental waters up to a total of thirty-four vessels. This force is only exceeded by that of Great Britain. France, Germany, Japan, Russia and Austria all have smaller forces both as to number and strength, and should hostilities occur between the allies there is no danger that the United States will be overmatched at the outset. This fleet is being assembled ostensibly for the protection of American interests in Chinn and as a show of force to the other powers now involved in the Chinese imbroglio. But it is said in Washington that not all the vessels are to be stationed in Chinese waters. The real use for this fleet, it is cluimed, will be to blockade Luzon during the coming winter campaign and in bringing the war in the Philippines to a close.

NOTES OF THE STRIKE.

Gen. Gobin say* that he will not allow the miners to hold secret meetings. In the Shnmokin neighborhood a large number of collieries have been abandoned. The funeral of the striker kilted in the Shenandoah riot ended in nn impressive spectacle. Hungarian women tried to whip tlireo coal and iron police near Hazleton, and a tight was narrowly averted. Eugene Bramblet, representing the Southern Coal Company, of I’nrsons, Knn., is taking large gangs of miner* West. Joseph Begos, a Hungarian, at Wilkes* barre, was the first man arrested since the strike began. He is accused of threatening to shoot a miner who refused to strike. While a number of miners were gathering coal on the culm banks at Scranton some one cried, “The watchmen are coming I” An aged miner named Frank Siangan, In the excitement that followed, dropped dead of heart failure

Burns Won the Dinner.

There is a story told of Robert Burns IB his youth. Burns was living in the town of Ayr, and though still young tad attained more than a local reputation as a poet. One day he was gassing through the main street of the town, and saw two strangers sitting at one of the Inn windows. With Idle curiosity he stopped to look at them. Seeing him, and thinking that the rustic might afford them some amusement while waiting, the strangers called him In and asked him to dine with them. Burns readily accepted the Invitation, and proved a merry, entertaining guest. When dinner was nearly finished, the Strangers suggested that each should try his hand at versemnking, and that the one who failed to write a rhyme should pay for the dinner. They felt secure In the challenge, believing that their rustle guest would pay for the meal. The rhymes were written, and Burns read the following: “I, Johnny Peep, saw two sheep; two sheep saw me. Half a crown apiece will pay for their fleece, anti I, Johnny Peep, go free.” The strangers’ astonishment was great, and they both- exclaimed: “Who are you? You must be Robbie Burns!’;—New Castle (England) Weekly Chronicle!

Peat Bog Fuel in Germany.

It is proposed to use the peat bogs of Germany as soueces of energy on one of the canals of the country, and In the manufacture of calcium carbide. The bogs of the valley of the Ems cover some 13,000 square miles, and the proposition has been made to erect a 10,000 horse power electric plant In the district, which would consume annually some 200,000 tons of peat, equivalent to the amount yielded by 200 acres. One acre of bog averaging ten feet in thickness contains about 1,000 tons of dried peat, and the amount produced by 430 square miles would afford as much heating power as the 80,000,000 tons of coal mined annually in Germany.

Two Canals Binding Atlantic.

Tt is asserted that the future will see two canals binding the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean. The value of such connection cannot be estimated. It will bring prosperity to the nation, as surely as Hostetter's Stomach Bitters brings health to the dyspeptic. Try it for indigestion, constipation, dyspepsia or biliousness.

Gladstone as a Chemist.

If Mr. Gladstone seldom indulged in sarcasm, it was not because he lacked the gift—for he possessed It in a high degree—but because he forebore to use It. To hurt an opponent’s feelings gave him pain, and when he did it unintentionally he would sometimes cross the floor of the House, and, sitting for a few moments by the side of the man whom fie had just demolished, say something to assuage the wound. One of his most persistent, but never Illnatured, critics was the late Sir John Pope Hennessy, who told me the following story to Illustrate this generous trait in Mr. Gladstone’s character: Sir John prided himself on his knowledge of chemistry, and In one of the debates on the commercial treaty with France he made a speech exposing, as he believed, a serious chemical blunder in the treaty. Mr. Gladstone followed, “and soon turned me inside outfln the most amusing manner,” said Hennessy In relating the story, “proving, as if he had been a chemist by profession, that It was I who had blundered egregiously.” Having thus disposed of his critic, Mr. Gladstone went and sat by him for a moment. “I hope you don’t feel hurt, Mr. Hennessy,” he said. “Your speech was Ingenious, and it may console you to know that the Emperor of the French made precisely the same objection that you have made. The fact Is, both you and he know a good deal about chemistry, but not enough to keep you from going astray.”—Canon McColl, in Fortnightly Review.

What a Mogul Can Do.

That was a remarkable demonstration of what a Mogul can do, that occurred on the New York Central the other day, when engine No. 948, one of the new Moguls, hauled out train No. 11, the Southwestern Limited, made up of two mail cars, five passenger coaches and nine Wagner cars, sixteen cars in all. The total weight of the train was 1,832,000 pounds, or 910 tons, and the length of the train, Including the engine, was. 1,212 Tent, or nearly a quarter of a mile. This engine made thq running time of the train between New York and Albany, 143 miles, in three hours and fifteen minutes. There is no railroad in the world which has a better roadbed, more skillful engineers, or better equipment, backed by loyal men always alert for the safety of their passengers, than the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad. What road can match Its corps of men, from President Callaway down the long line of employes, to the humble and faithful trackmen who watch their sections of rails through tha long hours of the night and day. in order to safeguard the lives of the travelers on trains whirling by their humble shanties, many of which nestle closely to the rails under their guardianship.—Editorial from the Albany Tlmes-Union. li

Feminine Superiority.

Here Is a little local story that Illustrates the calm self-satisfaction with which the feminine mind asserts its superiority: Lucy and George are children of East End pareuts. Lucy is 7 fjnd George is 5. She has jittended the primary department of a private school just four mouths. Here Is an overheard conversation between the two: Lucy, with a greatly pained expression: “Why, brother, anybody could tell you are only 5. You don’t even know the difference between corn and wheat.” George, who hates to acknowledge his Inferiority: “I do, too. Wheat Isis ” Lucy, taking pity*on him: “Why, George, you know well enough you don’t know. Listen to me and remember. Wheat Is wheat aud corn Is corn, and wheat grows in a wheat field and corn grows In a corn field. And don’t you ever forget It!”—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Accident Precautions.

Before starting on a journey see that your name Is clearly marked on some article of your clothing, as well as with your address in your imcketbook. In case of accident It may he of Incalculable advantage to you to be immediately Identified. While there are frequent and terrible disasters on our large public conveyances, the relative loss of life is much less than by the older and less rapid methods. At all times It is desirable to go tagged, aud If people would wear clothes properly marked, or carry other means of identification about them, there wouldn’t be so many missing people unaccounted for, and many an occupant of a nameless grave would be identified. Letters stitched /Into the bands of a skirt or other garment is probably the surest method.
