Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a scientific medicine, carefully devised by an experienced and skillfu'L physician, and adapted to woman's delicate system. It is made of native American medicinal roots and is perfectly harmless in its effects in any condition of the female system. As a powerful invigorating tonic "Favorite Prescription" imparts ftrrngth to the whole system and to the orjraus distinctly feminine in particular. For overworked, "worn-out," run-dowrr,' debilitated teachers, milliners, dressmakers, seamstresses, "shop-girls' house-keepers, nursing mothers, and feeble women generally, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the greatest earthly boon, being nneqnaled as an appetizing cordial and restorative tonic.

Roscoe and Sims are Appearing at the the role of Moll O'Hara, a girl of the slums, is led to believe that her lover has discarded her for another. She has become a reformed woman for his sake and now in a spasm of hopelessness and utter despair, she determines to forget her former avowal to walk "the straight - road" and to drown her troubles in a wild debauch. Like a mad woman she tears at the furniture; she grasps a flask of whiskey and pulls the cork with her teeth, she tear3 the shade from the window and then stands quivering with the liquor in her upraised hand. For the sweeping away of the window covering has flooded the room with lisht and one stray moon beam illumines wierdly the picture of the Virgin hung on the wall. The woman falls on her knees before the picture of tho mother of sorrows in an agony of contrite weeping. The scene is almost terrible. Vaudeville at the Phillips. Although somewhat handicapped by the absence of Mr. and Mrs. Brooks, singer of the illustrated songs and pianists, the management of the New rhlllips is putting on a deserving bill this week and is enjoying liberal patronage. Mr. and Mrs. Brooks were called to Illinois by the death of his father. Perhaps one of the most interesting features this week, and all who leave without seeing it make a mistake. Is the motion picture entitled "Results of the Storm." This depicts in colors the lightning and other phenomena of a trriffic disturbance of the elements.

MET DEATH IN BLAZE ESCAPE IS SHUT OFF Big Conflagration In Business District of Philadelphia in Which One Man is Killed Five Story Building Burned to Ground. IPubllsners' Press Philadtli.ix., 12. A fire In which one man lost his life and several others had narrow escapes seriously damaged the five-story building at 105-107 South Third street. In the heart of the financial district. The building was occupied by the Phoenix Pants, Overall and Shirt company and Dumce Sons & Co., cotton commission brokers. The flames started in the upper portion of the building occupied by the Phoenix company, and cut off the escape by means of the stair way of the employes working on the top floor, forcing them to use the fire escapes, which were covered with ice and snow. Louis Deskeveskey, 2G, either jumped or fell from the fire escape and was instantly killed. Loss estimated at S73.000. WAS QUIET DAY III THE LEGISLATURE , (Continued from Page One, ) terested in one or two of the banking bills presented and took occasion to Investigate their provisions. There is still much talk about the $1,000 license bill that the house members are wishing that the ordeal of settling the matter were over. They are being pressed to vote for and vote against it and admit'that they don't know where they "are at." The opinion today was that the house would pass the bill, though likely would amend it so that the license fee shall be $700 or $500. Senator Mattingly and other members "of the upper branch who favor the original measure are doing a little missionary work in an attempt to bolster up the courage of the house members. Protests are coming In from various parts of the state against the bill, mostly signed by temperance people. The liquor forces too, are active against the measure with the exception of ia Ft Wayne, where, it was reported in the senate this afternoon, sixty saloonists had sent word to the house to pass tho bill making the fee $1,000.

OPENING OF PARLIAMENT WOMEN GIVEN A PIECE OF SUF FRAGE IN BILL EMANATING FROM THE THRONE THE KING'S MESSAGE. .Publishers' Press.J Londc. -.ambers of the house of commons regard the political situation as especially Interestins was evidenced by the keenness shown to secure good seats for the opening of parliament Tuesday. Large crowds gathered within the precincts Df parliament to witness the arrival f distinguished persons. The speech from the throne foreshadowed a full and busy session, de voted to Ireland, army reform and temperance, fapart from the overshadowing question of the house of lords. After the usual reference to the good relations prevailing between Great Britain and other nations, the speech deplored the loss of life and destruction of property resulting from the earthquake at Kingston. "I have seen with satisfaction," said the king. that the emergency has been met by J the governor and his officers with courage and devotion and by the peo pie with self-control. The occasion has called forth many proofs of practical good will from all parts of my country and recognize with sincere gratitude the sympathy shown by the people of the United States, and the assistance promptly offered by their authorities." A guarded reference was made to the question uppermost in the minds of his hearers. "Serious questions," said the king, "affecting the working of our parliament system have arisen from the unfortunate .differences between the two houses. My ministers have this important subject under consideration with the view of a solution of the difficulty." Among the domestic legislation foreshadowed by the speech from the throne was a bill enabling women to serve on local bodies, evidently intended as a sop to the woman suffragists. DECIDE YOURSELF. The Opportunity is Here, Backed by Richmond Testimony. Don't take our word for it. Don't depend on a stranger's statement. Read Richmond endorsement. Read the statements of Richmond citizens. And decide for yourself. Here is one case of it: Patrick Mitchell, ice man, of 412 North Fifth street, Richmond, Ind., says: "My wife thinks Doan's Kidney Pills a great remedy for backache and other pains that come from the kidneys. She was weak and miserable for a long time with kidney trouble and suffered a great deal of pain In the back and other parts of the body. She tried many remedies, but did not find much benefit until she began using Doan's Kidney Pills. They helped her from the very beginning and she was soon cured.

The kaiser was very vl of the rough old admiral, whu-. sea talk amused him Immensely, i! ml on one occasion when the admiral was dining with the emperor a dish was served to which the admiral waa Inordinately devoted. It so hap pened that the emperor did not care for it and hnd very soon finished. The footmen began to remove the plates, but the old admiral, who did not mean to be balked of his favorite dish, rapped the servant who tried to take his plate over the lingers with his fork and cried out, "Gescbte weg." much to the amusement of the emperor and the rest of the guests, who were bursting with laughter at this terrible breach of cti quette.

Has kell, state senator and warden of the penitentiary, Introduced in the senate a resolution asking that a committee be appointed to Investigate charges of cruelty to prisoners, as made by Dr. C. H. Gri8by, who for eight years was physician at the penitentiary and who was recently removed by Haskell. The resolution was adopted. Dr. Grlsby charges that he was removed because he objected to a lery of 5 per cent of his salary for the last Republican state campaign fund. Grlsby said he thought 24 per cent of his salary was enough to give. In his charges qf cruelty Dr. Grisby said an insane convict from Oklahoma who became unruly, at the suggestion of Warden Haskell, was subjected to the "water cure." Grisby charges that the man was tied to a post, a hose put into his mouth and water forced into him until he almost expired.
