THE DUTY OF MOTHERS. * . Daughters Should be Carefully Guided in Early 'Womanhood. What suffering frequently results from a mother’s ignorance; or more frequently from a mother's neglect to properly instruct her daughter I Tradition says “woman must suffer,” and young women arc so taught. There is a little truth and a great deal of exaggeration in thia If a young woman suffers severely she needs treatment and her mother should see that she gets it. Many mothers hesitate to take their daughters to a physician for examination; but no mother need hesitate to write freely about her daughter or herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure the most efficient advice without charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is Lynn, Mass. The following letter from Miss M arib Jobkson, Centralia, Pa., shows what neglect will do, and tells how Mrs. Pinkham helped her: * “My health became so poor that I had to leave school. I Was tired all the time, and had dreadful pains in my side and back. I was also troubled with irregularity of menses. I was very weak, and lost so much flesh that my friends became alarmed. My mother, who is a firm believer in your remedies from experience, thought perhaps they might benefit me, and wrote yon for advice. I followed the advice yon gave, and used Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills as you directed, and am now as well as I ever was. I have gained flesh and have • good color. lam completely eared of Irregularity."

Our Wars Began in April.

Many of the most stirring events in American history have occurred In April, lnclu(li»s-the first conflicts of the war of the revolution and the beginning of the war of secession. The formal order to Spain to relinquish the Island of Cuba was made on April 19, a date already notable in our military annals. It was on April 19, 1775, at Lexington and at Concord, that the first armed resistance was made by the minute men to the British troops. The excitement of April 19, 1861, Is still remembered by many persons. The Sixth Massachusetts Regiment was attacked by a mob in Baltimore, and that city was turned over to the secessionists. North Carolina was the first colony to declare for independence, In April, 1776, and Rhode Island almost Immediately followed with a similar declaration. Six years latpr, tn April, 1782, the recognition of our independence was made' by the Dutch Republic. April 18, 1775—Paul Revere’s famous April 19, 1775—Beginning of the revolution by battle of Lexington. April 11, 1783—Congress proclaims cessation of hostilities. April 15, 1783—Congress ratifies preliminary treaty of peace with Great Britain. April 4, 1812 —Congress establishes the embargo that begins the war of 1812. April 21, 1835—Santa Ana suffers his great defeat at San Jacinto. April 25,1846—Hostilities open between the United States and Mexico. begun by Gen. Beauregard firing on Fort Sumter. April 19, 1861—First bloodshed of the war, in conflict between United States troops and mob at Baltimore. April 9, 1865—Lee eurrend-ers to Grant at Appomattox.

A SCHOOL GIRL’S BATTLE.

From The Mail, Mi ford, Ind. Miss Emma Rybolt, a prepossessing school girl, of Milford, Ind., is of more than usual intelligence, and is ambitious to rise in the literary world. “In the fall of 1896,” said Mrs. Rybolt, “Emma was taken ill. She was a close student and her work began to tell on her. She grew .weak, pale and nervous, and complained of pains in her back, chest and limbs. The doctor said she was a victim of nervous prostration, and should have been taken from school weeks earlier. She grew worse, hTr nerves were so tense that the least noise irritated her and she had a fever and a continual twitching in her muscles. The symptoms were much like St. Vitus’ dunce.

Her nerves are strong and she is in perfect health. We are all confident that Dr. Williams’ Pink' Pills for Pale People cured her, and I cheerfully,recommend them in all similar cases. “MRS. E. A.

OREGON SAFE AT LAST

SECRETARY LONG MAKES THE WELCOME ANNOUNCEMENT. Battleship Left San Francisco About Seven Weeks Ago and Has Traveled Over 13,000 Miles-Spanish Fleet to Go to the Philippines. Dons Didn’t Get Her. Washington special: Secretary Ix>ng gave out the welcome information Wednesday that the battleship Oregon, the second largest craft in the" American navy, had successfully completed her long trip from San Francisco, making the entire circuit of South America, and was safe. The rigid secrecy of the navy department was relaxed only enough to make known the best news the navy department had received since the battle of Manilla, as it meant not only the Oregon .'"was out of harm’s way fr° m . a concerted attack on this one ship by the whole Spanish squadron in southern waters, but also that her great fighting strength would be added to Admiral Sampson’s force. The Oregon left San Francisco before the war had opened, and at that time it was not admitted that she was to join the ship's in Atlantic waters. She stopped at Callao for dispatches and then went round the Horn and up the east coast ■of South America. In all the trip covjered 13,000 miles. The last stretch, from 'Bahia to the Windward islands, was followed with anxiety by naval officers, for, 'by a strange coincidence, the formidable Spanish squadron of armored cruisers and boats approached the Windward islands at the very time when the Oregon was due there. It had been suspected that the Spanish admiral would try to intercept the battleship with his superior force, jond before leaving Bahia Capt. Clark of the Oregon was warned to keep a close (lookout for the Spanish fleet. In reply Capt. Clark expressed his confidence in {being able to hold his own single-handed with the Oregon against all the Spanish cruisers. The only apprehension he felt was as to the torpedo boats under the Spanish admiral’s command. Notwithstanding Capt. Clark’s assurances, the navy department continued to feel that a meeting between the Spanish squadronand the American battleship on such unequal terms was far from desirable, and might bring most serious results. For this reason the official information reaching the authorities telling of the Oregon’s safety was a source of most hearty congratulation.

NOONDAY DINNER AT CHICKAMAUGA.

ADUISAI. CKStVERA. Commander of the Spanish Fleet.

DRILL LIKE REGULARS.

Volunteers'at Camp Thomas Make an Excellent Showing. The event of Monday at Chickamauga Park was the review of the First division of the First army corps by Maj. Gen. Breckinridge, inspector general of the United States army. It was a splendid spectacle, grand in proportions and sublime in suggestion. The long line of men in double rank extended from the north end of Kelly field straight as a die across the field, through the grove, out qgo the Brotherton field, across that field, over into the hills and valleys and well into the grove beyond. And this was only two cf the three brigades. The third brigade ■was formed back of the first in Kelly field. These long lines, aggregating more than a mile in double-rank formation with distances reduced, was nothing short of an effective army. The men had the bearing and set-up of professional soldiers. They were fully armed and equipped. Their alignment was perfect and every movement like clockwork. This division consists of the first regiments sent out by the various States represented in it and these regiments are consequently will equipped. Their showing on the review

surprised the veteran army officers on the field. From the moment the regiments began to assemble, pouring out of the groves and camps from every direction and in every formation, until they broke from the column after passing the reviewing stand every movement was made with a dash and snap truly inspiring. After the review Gen. Breckinridge said: “I was surprised at the showing made by the troops. The review was superb. Some of the regiments made an appearance that would have done credit to any soldiers in any army in the world.” Maj. Gen. Wilson was equally enthusiastic. “It is a splendid division,” said he, “and the men moved off like soldiers. I was impressed with the size and quality of the men. They are better men and in much, better condition as regards drill, equipment and discipline than the soldiers of 1861.” “The men did splendid work,” declared Brig. Gen. Burt. “I have been in the army for thirty-seven years and was all through the'eivil war, and I want to say I never saw better soldiers.” The regiments participating in the review were the First Ohio, Fifth Illinois,

Third Wisconsin, Third Illinois, Fourth Ohio, Fourth Pennsylvania, Sixteenth Pennsylvania, 157th Indiana and Second Wisconsin. * REFUSE TO TRANSPORT TROOPS. Steamship Companies Attempt t* Fleece Uncle Sam. The delay in sending troops to the Philippines was explained by an official of the War Department. The Government has been unable to secure the necessary transports at what was considered a reasonable figure and will therefore proceed to impress the vessels necessary to carry the troops which have been ordered to Manila. The Government had offered a sum which was considered satisfactory for the transportation of the men, and since this has been refused, it will proceed to put the soldiers on board the ships and compel the owners to carry them. The official said that this was the only cause of the embarrassment. The Government did its best to reach an amicable agreement with the steamship companies, but failed. It then decided to settle the matter by appointing a commission to determine a reasonable compensation and the steamers will be compelled to transport men at 'that figure. Pays It’s False. Gen. Wesley Merritt, who is to command the expedition to the Philippines and become miltary governor of the islands as sobn as occupied, has made a prompt and emphatic denial of the alleged interview published, in which he is quoted ns saying he would “refuse” to go to Manila unless given 5,000 troops from the rcghlar army. The alleged interview caused something like consternation in Washington, for it was feared the incident might develop into an ugly one.
