A GOOD THING For Women to Remember. That in addressing Mrs. Pinkham they art? communicating with a woman —a woman whose experience in treating woman’s ills is greater than that of any living physician—male or female. A woman can talk freely to a woman when it is revolting to relate her private troubles to a man—besides, a man does not understand—simply because he is a man. Many nomen suffer in silence wnd drift along from bad to worse, knowing full । well that they should have immediate assistance, but a natural modesty impels them to shrink from exposing themselves to the questions and probable examinations of even their family physician. It is unnecessary. Without money or price you can consult a woman, whose knowledge from actual experience is greater

than any local physician living. The following invitation is freely offered; accept it in the same spirit: Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to freely communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass. All letters are received, opened, read and answered by women only, thus has been established the eternal conndenee between Mrs. Pinkham and tae women of America which has never been broken and has induced more than 100,000 sufferers to write her for advice dining the last four months. Out of the vas volume of experience which she has to draw from, it is more than possib.e that she has gained the very knowledge that will help your case. She asks nothing in return except your good-will, and her novice has relieved thousands. Surely any woman, rich or poor, is very foolisa if she does not take advantage of this generous offer of assistance. Lydia L. in ham Medicine Co.. Lynn, Mass. Fast Freight Runs. The B. O. S. W. has been making i records on quick despatch freight within , the past week or two. Two trains, one | weighing 732 and the other 734 tons, run ! from Cincinnati to Parkersburg. -N" miles, in 8 hours and 3 minutes and 8 j hours and 4 minutes, respectively. The run from St. Louis to Cincinnati. 310 miles, was made in lt» hours. Considering that some of the grades exceeded one per cent., the performance ranks with the best on record and demonstrates that the track and motive power of the B. & O. S. W. must be in good condition. No one in ordinary health need become bald or gray, if he will follow sensible treatment. We advise cleanliness of the scalp and the use of Hall s Hair Renewer.

MRS. PETERSON’S STORY. I Have suffered with womb trouble over fifteen years. I had inflammation, enlargement and displacement of the womb. The doctor wanted me to take treatments, but I had just begun taking Mrs. Pinkham's Compound, and my husband S would do *1 me. I was ”ISJlnjjye- z so sick when I began with her medicine, I could '/Vv^H ! hardly be on my UW I feet. ‘ I had the J / y backache con- '» / VW stantly, also headache, and ' $ was so dizzy. I had heart trouble, it seemed as though my heart was in my throat at times choking me. I could not walk around and I could not lie : down, for then my heart would beat so I fast I would feel as though I was smothering. I had to sit up in bed nights in order to breathe. I was so weak I could not do anything. I have now taken several bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and used three packages of Sanative Vvash, and can say I am perfectly cured. I do not think I could have lived long if Mrs. Pinkhams medicine had not helped me.— Mbs. Joseph Petebson, 513 East St., Warren, Pa. i * ! ^EMiYOUi?

It is a W? pill to rely on. Properly used it will cure con- fe) stipation, biliousness, sick headache, and tho z \ X other ills that result from torpid liver. Ayer’s pills are not designed to spur the liver into a momentary activity, leaving it in yet more V® incapable condition after the immediate effect is. past. They are compounded with the purPose of toning up the entire system, removing the obstructing conditions, and putting the ’W liver into proper relations with the rest of the 05 organs for natural co-operation. The record of ' Ayer s Pills during the half century they have vW/ been in public use establishes their great and f permanent value in all liver affections. ft Ayer’s Cathartic Pills. • ■ W ' ®©©©O©©©®©®®®©©® ;

HOLDS MARRYING RECORD. Aged Pastor of Troy, N. Y., Has Wedded 6,000 Persons. Six thousands persons united in wedlock in half a century is the record made by’ Rev. Dr. George C. Baldwin, of Troy, N. Y., who claims to be the champion marrying parson of the United States. Many women will bo interested in this venerable pastor, to whom so many young couples have gone to be joined in matrimony. Ho has wedded the children and the grandchildren of those who first came to him. He has seen many of “his children,” as he loves to call them, become old and pass away. He has seen thenchildren grow up to manhood and womanhood, and he has seen many of them cross the great diviile. Many

Dr. Baldwin is nearly SO years old, । I but ho is as young in mind, at least, j as most men of 50. His eyes are pleicing keen, his smile blight ami cliefiy and his voice stentorian. His hand- ; shake is strong and hearty. For years he has ministered to the spiritual wants of a great body of people who belong to no church. Wi ile he was pastor of the Third Street Baptist Church of Troy, and oven betme that, young people came to be married. He married many whom h • never saw or heard of before and upon the demise of many of them he v.as a-iied to officiate at their funerals. When times are good Dr. Baldwin says he inaiib a

j scvcrul couples a wt^k. but \\ bm time's | are bad there are fewer marriages. Commercial conditions sway the matrimonial straws with great accuracy. Dr. Baldwin is a firm believer in the fact that the marriage state is less expensive than celibacy. Current ConderiHut ions.

I has a curious egg laid by one of his l famous rough-ami ready Canadian hens, whose peculiarity lies in the fact I that their feathers grow toward the head instead of in the opposite direction. The egg in question measures 7xß inches, and inside the perfect yolk was another perfect egg, as large as that of a partridge, with shell as hard as that which inclosed it. A porter at Lyons, France, was goin^ to have his photograph taken while posing near the lion cage of a menagerie. The lion being asleep just then, the man patted the head to waken it.

The lion jumped out ami bit ' off the imprudent man's head, then he ! dragged the corpse back into the cage, j and when ‘’help” arrived there wasn’t ; much left for burial. j Complaint is made that the new sil- : i ver certificates, though beautiful sped- i । mens of the engraver's art. do not wear 1 । well at all and that already many of them compare ill in appearance with J older and less artistic bills. It Is an indubitable fact that a curiously large i number of these certificates have been ; more or loss torn in the few weeks that have elay-od sim e they wore issued an.l that they show a decided tendency ‘ to break instead of becoming soft and I supple with use.

FEVER IN THE SOUTH. PESTILENCE SEEMS TO BE WELL IN HAND. Cool Weather Favorable to the Infected Distrlcts-One Tariff Hill Section Is Dead - Statement by Ratchford on the strike-Hawaii for Annexation Is of a Mild Type. The yellow fever seourge cannot be said to be spreading, but it clings ciously when it once gets a foothold Eighteen new cases were reported at New Orleans, but all are of a mild ty I e. The cases at New Orleans now number 52 which is very few among a population of 280,000. The deaths continue to show an extraordinary small percentage, only five deaths having occurred among 52 patients. Os course there is enough fever in New Orleans to arouse appro tension there and to continue the dismay in other portions of the South. At x o*

There are no new cases at Ocean ,i Springs, but the distress of the inhabi- , tants in that little burg is sore. The town is so strictly quarantined that both k food and medicine are very scarce. Cairo is recovering from it > alarm. All Mhe local physicians stoutly declare that the two cases at the marine hospital are not yellow fever, but a type of sharp malarial fever so common in the autumn among those who live upon the southwestern rivers. This opinion, if confirmed by subsequent events, will knock, out Dr. Guiteras of Pennsylvania, whom the government had employed nt heavy i expense as the greatest yellow fever ex- ' pert in the United States. Dr. Guiteras ; is not the first expert who has found I himself minus by subsequent develop- . ’ merits. Nevertheless Cairo will omit no i precautions against the yellow fever, and therefore it has quarantined against Louisiana, Alabama, ami Mississippi. , 'The South expects to wait for the ffrst frost before the yellow fever is thoroughly stamped out. but it is hardly ! probable that a sharp frost will be felt below the Tennessee line before the last of November. The pnstoffice department is in a quandary. Many of the towns in the Gulf States have quarantined against al! mail matter, even after it has been fumigated. This shows the condition of alarm which prevails in many sections of the South. Now and then an incident is published which tends to show that the yellow fever can bo

communicated through the mail. It i.« related that a person in Mobile received n letter from n friend in Ocean Springs. The letter was written in a room where a yellow fever patient was in bed, ami the person who received the letter was attacked by the fever. All these facts arc imt authenticated, but their publication j widens the dismay and tends to make the people believe that the yellow fever town should be treated as the outcasts of the world. According to the statement** of a physician who had experience in the plague of lb7S, when from ninety to 100 persons died every day for months, the fever is in itself not nearly so dangerous as the panic j which accompanies it. If the people ■ would not become overcome by fear more of them would be saved. He says that • f probaldy 10 per cent, of all those who j have the disease are likely to succumb to the fever itself, but when the plague is accompanied with excitement and panic > the death rate runs up to 30 or 40 per■ ; cent, of all those who show the symptoms ! i at ail. \\ hen people have become inured to the | scenes of the disease rind death and can j look upon them without a feeling of panic j ■ or unusual excitement, the greater part of ! the danger passes away, and so it is that j ; i after any community has experienced dis- I j ease for a short time the ravages are j । abated. If, when the first symptoms ap- L । pear, the patient is given a hot foot bath !

The treaty of annexation with the United States has been ratified unanimously by the Hawaiian Senate, sitting in extraordinary session. There was but one opinion on the subject, and the result was that the vote on the ratification wa s unanimous. There was never any difference of opinion as to v, hat the Senate would do. This body was elected after the revolution with the one idea of working for the annexation of the islands to the United States. I- rom the time in 1893, when the queen was dethroned, there has been no subject on winch there was more unanimity and there has been nobody with more of the feeling than the Senate. The meeting at which the 'ratification of the treaty took place was the most *ar?,els attended of any in the history of the government, not excepting the trying ime of revolution. There were alwavs tn the senate chamber large crowds of the best people of the islands, for the call for an extra session was made the call like xvise for an assembling at the capital of the leading people from all the islands and the social side of the republic was n + its best. Ab soon as the fact was made known

that the Senate had agreed to the ratification there was great enthusiasm all through the city. It had been planned to make the occasion the excuse for the most elaborate ceremonies that have been carried out since the republic came Into power. .There was nothing lacking to the appropriate celebration and the people joined in the ceremonies and jollification freely. SECTION 22 IS KILLED. Attorney General McKenna Holds It I to Be Inoperative. The long opinion of the attorney general upon the operation of section 22 of the tariff law was made public Tuesday I after being considered for a second time by the President and his cabinet, and after Senator Elkins of West Virginia and Mr, Richard C. Kerens of SL Louis had made a most determined but futile effort to persuade the President and the Attorney general to accept their construction of the law. The attorney general construes the section as not imposing a discriminating duty ("ttpon foreign merchandise imported in

bond through contiguous countries, and molds that section 4228 of the revised ’statutes has not been repealed. Therefore, goods purchased abroad and Imported in bond byway of Canada or comto ports of the United States In Britbottoms will not be subject to a discriminating duty of 10 per cent. The opinion is a disappointment to some ^owners of American merchant vessels and to those interested in the transcontinental railroads of the United States. There is no doubt that It was the intention of the framers of section 22 as it became a law to discriminate against the Canadian railroads and foreign ships, Senator Elkins, who claims to be partly responsible for the added words which , called forth the opinion, admits as much, and exerted his influence to the utmost to convince the President and the attorney general that such was the Intention of Congress. The methods adopt I'd by the advocates : of the discriminating duties are said to be in away responsible for their faiure. Fearing make their object too plain while the tariff bill was under discussion they framed a clause which they believed would have the desired effect and then had it inserted in the section while the measure wns in conference. Senator Elkins has for some time advocated a bill to imp -e a discriminating i duty upon merchandise imp' rted In veai seis of foreign regis’er, his object being to encourage nnd build up the American merchant marine. 15 alizing that such a measure could r t be passed at the last session he endeavored to accomplish bls | object by having the substance of his i 1 bill incorporated in section 22. ■ । The Pacific railroads a: 1 allied lines de-

:.z ’ > divert to tm-m-" ives ths bonded merchandise intended for the United States now carried over the Canadian Pacific rail.-' ad arc said to be respousib.t for the other t.- w words in the section. Having failed to impress their views of the meaning of the law upon the I'reaident and the attorney general thet-e Intmsts will carry the que- c n into Congress. and w di attempt at the next session to have the tariff law amended so as to ine<>rp">rate the d.-. rni; -i;>ting features they <b -.re. It is trndersf. d that the opinion ! of the attorney general is entirely satisfactory to the Pr> ' lent and the Secretary of the Treasury. END OF THE GENERAL STRIKE President Ratchford Reviews the Victory of tlic Coal Miners. D. Ratchf rd, President of the United Mine Workers of America, has given out the following auth rized state- ■ men:: About 75,000 miners have resumed work In the bituminous coal fields of the central states. The strike g<m r;i y has ended. Ibis Is tec m l!.e of ,e twelfth week of its durntl-.n. The mining s.[nation is not intU ths beginning of text year, at which time we hope to be able to settle wage differences amicably and without the necessity of a It is well understood that the fight will continue from the pnvent time in ali fields and against ah opera’ rs who refuse to meet rhe rates. The greatest trouble will be found In West Virginia and a portion of Illinois. I cm stiil hopeful, however, that the producers In tho-e Helds will conform to the change and put their mines In operation. Ir ! ;tg to d • fids, we will fight them as we Imve d.eie c’.ti! t. ■■ beginning of next yenr. at which time it Is said their present contract 9 will expire. rs with the agreemen t g.znc ! . y t:..de umons for years, of course, the victory Is not altogether ouo of the miners. While they have done the Striking, trade unions an.l organized bodies have supplied the necessaries, without which

I the miners could not possibly succeed. It ।is a victory for organized labor and not (for any particular trade, and we want our friends who have helped us to feel that it Is their victory as well as ours. I feel very grateful for the assistance given us by the American Federation of Labor and the kindly disposition shown us at all times by Mr. Gompers and tile members of bls executive committee. SCALE IS ADOPTED. State Convention of Illinois Mine Workers Take Action. The Illinois State convention of the United Mine Workers at Springfield completed its business and adjourned. A scale was adopted by the convention which is said to be satisfactory to all coal miners in the State. The scale Is based on the Pittsburg settlement scale and is about G per cent, below the scale adopted by the convention held in August. A resolution was adopted by the convention which gives all miners the authority to return to work as soon as the operators agree to pay the scale. This resolution also provides that all miners who return to work at the scale price shall con- , tribute 10 per cent, of their wages to the 1 miners not working. Another resolution ; was adopted which censured the position j the operators of the State had taken in J not meeting with the miners to effect a settlement of the strike in Illinois. A learned professor at Geneva, Switzerland, states that France drinks more al- । cohol annually than any other nation in 1 Europe.
