The Broad Ax

LET THE WHOLE TRUTH BE TOLD. "There are I know not but am told, To whom cur warnings seem too bold." Most especially is this true with two of our very able and esteemed contemporaries, the Freeman of Indianapolis and the Christian Recorder of Philadelphia, both of which dissent from the Guardian's views on Mr. Washington without giving what would be regarded in a court of law substantial reason. In fact, the Recorder goes so far as to accuse us, without naming us, of course, of reviling the Tusekegee man. Now as revilement means to abuse and slander without cause the Guardian hastens to deny that such has been its course towards Mr. Washington. We speak out very strongly in condemnation of Mr. Washington's methods, because our locality is his stamping ground, and it is here that he pronounces his doctrines dangerous to the liberties of the race. We have watched him for many years and know whereof we speak. The Guardian holds first of all that the white Americans, having committed this government to the high doctrine of equality for whites and blacks alike have in recent years become alarmed at their previous sense of justice and begun forwith to cast about for some means to hedge. They found Washington in a score dilemma, struggling along with a little insignificant school on his hands, preaching against the aspiration of his race, telling us "we began in the senate instead of at the plow," and answering our every complaint about mistreatment with "it's better to make a dollar than spend it," or with some other reply equally foreign and silly, and they led him forth and crowned him the leader of the Negro race in America. The intelligent colored people refused from the first to endorse Washington's methods. They know that a man who started by attacking the higher education for his race, by denying the Negro's right to a part in politics, who, whenever he could find an all white audience, poked fun at the Negro ministry, and said, "most of the Negro churches should be abolished," had very low conceptions of the needs of a people. All this Booker Washington did, and also taught it to his pupils at Tuskegee. A highly educated and refined minister stated to the Guardian management only the other day that he had just returned from Tuskegee, where during a sermon to the students he witnessed half the audience grinning in derision and on investigation found out that these "recent pilgrims from the black belt," were simply grinning on general principle, thinking that because the preacher was colored he "had a $5 hat an a 25-cent head," and would therefore soon supply them with laughter by some mistake. Now they will all deny this, but the Guardian's authority on this question is unimpeachable. We have already, in a previous issue, called attention to the fact that in his book, "The Future of the Negro," written in 1899, Washington says colored people should not study music for a generation yet, but that he has already sent his daughter to Wellesley to study music. This same girl was educated in a private school right here in Framingham, not at Tuskegee, and was there when he wrote the book in question. This young girl entertained with lavish display the whole faculty and freshman class of Wellesley at tea the other day. Now we do not object to these honors for Washington's daughter, but object to his saying other people's daughters should not have them. But possibly the most severe grievance the colored race against Washington is his habit of belittling the use the race has made of the ballot. This he does by direct statements or by inuendoes, whenecer he finds general interest lagging in his school funds. By this method Washington has succeeded in keeping public interest riveted on his school, but he has also succeeded in weakening public sentiment for the rights of Negro suffrage to such extent that even here in Boston, the Negro's heaven, little interest is now manifested in it. To crown all this this same man came here the other day and said to a great audi- ence of white people that the Negro should be more concerned about an indecent Negro in a jim-crow car than about the jim-crow car itself! Thrice did he tell this to men whose fathers two generations ago had worked and helped colored men to abolish that odious badge of degredation! But now in spite of all his preachments against the Negro in politics, his constant belittling the use we have made of the ballot, this same man is daily moving heaven and earth to be considered a political boss. He is in and out at the back door of the White House; he has it published that the president has made him the Negro boss, and no sooner does he get in than he uses his influence to put Hill out and Montgomery, his Democratic henchmen in Mississippi, in. And this he will do with all the other men who do not worship him when he becomes the recognized boss. But the Guardian's fight in this matter is for the manhood rights of the race as American citizens. Booker's methods force us to apologize for wanting the higher education and for wanting a share in politics and the social life of the nation! It is now sunset at the great navy yard at San Francisco and as the mighty luminary drops down behind the western ocean the national flag dips, the band strikes up "The Star Spangled Banner," the fort guns boom and all the military pomp of national majesty sends forth a farewell salute to the departing day. And now again, far out at sea each man of war repeats this homage to the dying day's decay, until all the island forts and insular bands, keeping pace with the sinking sun, join in the glad chorous. Meanwhile ships passing and repassing zig-zag to one another "the news of home and the honors done the stars and stripes" on distant sea. Then does the heart of every American thrill with joy. Then does every one reverentaly repeat, "O, beautiful, my country, bright beyond compare. Where is the Negro's part in this? Each one of them from the present trend of things must say, "But me not destined such delights to share," for by the folly of one man's preaching we have become un-Americanized! Is there any colored man in doubt, then, as to what side to take on this question? Such a man is not ourselves. No, sir! "The storm bell rings, the trumpet blows; I know each word and countersign; Wherever freedom's vanguard goes Where stand or fall her friends or foes I know the place that should be mine." —The Guardian, Boston, Mass. The Broad Ax is truly glad to see The Guardian take such a manly stand for the right, and against the unsound or fatalistic theories advanced by Prof. B. T. Washington, respecting the civil or the political rights of the Negro, and we firmly believe that the time will soon arrive when the thinking Negroes will repudiate Prof. Washington as the new Moses unless he has the courage to stand up for the right. SELF-PAUPERIZED. The people of a state stand as if fairly paralyzed for lack of the simplest instrument ever invented to exchange services and commodities, while the services are not employed and the commodities for subsisting their producers lie rotting. While every man owes taxes to the state and could create new wealth if employed, and nothing is needed to set all at work but the simple acceptance of the state for taxes. Why are they not issued? The cling of fear under the sneering smile of usury, that is why. People have been derided out of common sense. Long before our Revolution Franklin was asked by the British Parliament "Why the colony of Pennsylvania is so prosperous?" He replied, "Because it uses its own acceptances as money for any enterprise. Interest is merely nominal. Products exchange rapidly and freely." To-day, with all our wealth, we are paupers. HOLT.

One of Chicago's most eminent Jawyers, influential citizens and the worthy Chairman of the State Board of Arbitration of Illinois. ATTORNEY FREDERICK. W. JOB ONE OF THE MANY IDEAL AND USEFUL CITIZENS OF CHICAGO. There are very few people residing in any section of this broad land who have not heard or read of the Hon. Frederick. HON. FREDERICK One of Chicago's most eminent Jawy Chairman of the State Board of Arbit W. Job, who has for the past fifteen years been one of Chicago's most prominent attorneys, and during all that time he has been identified with numerous law suits and much litigation of importances. Mr. Job is a native of this state for he was born and raised at Alton, Ill., where his parents still reside and are highly respected by all the citizens of Alton. In 1885 Mr. Job graduated from the University of Michigan, and shortly after locating in this city he became identified with various public matters, and was one of the organizers and incorporators and is at present director of the Alldendale Association, a country home for homeless city boys, which is maintained by prominent Chicago citizens on a farm in Lake county. Ill. Immediately after the overthrow of the monarchy in the Hawaiian Islands, Mr. Job's energy and great ability as a painstaking lawyer were recognized by President Dole, of that republic, who, in 1894, conferred upon Mr. Job the honor of appointing him Consul-General of the Hawaiian Republic for the states of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin and Ohio, with headquarters in the Marquette Building, Chicago. From that time on until the annexation of the Islands to the United States, Mr. Job was active in the movement for annexation, and as Consul-General at Chicago he materially assisted in the efforts of the Hawaiian Islanders to become a territory of the United States. Gov. Richard Yates has received the highest recommendations from the entire citizenship of Illinois for selecting Frederick W. Job as the Democratic representative of the State Board of Arbitration. After his appointment two Republicans were appointed by the Governor, and immediately following this, Mr. Job, though a life-long Democrat and a minority man upon the Board, was elected chairman of the Board, which position he has held since and filled with great credit to himself and with entire satisfaction to the laboring men and the employers, as well, throughout the state. The decisions of the Board have carried with them weight and have been particularly free from eidences of the bias or prejudice. Recently Mr. Job and his two Republican associates on the board rendered a far-reaching decision following the investigations made by the board in the case of the Sattley Plow Manufacturing Co., of Springfield, Ill., in which the recognition of the Union formed by the laborers was recommended by the board, has given pre-eminent satisfaction to the employers of labor throughout the state, and has been freely and most favorably commented upon by the press in all parts of the United States. It is largely due to the fact that Mr. Job is a member of the State Board of Arbitration that investigations are made almost daily into labor disturbances, not only in this city, but throughout the state generally, and in this Mr. Job is performing an invaluable service in behalf of those who are compelled to toil from early morn until late at night. ```markdown ``` Some years ago the writer became acquainted with Mr. Job at Fargo, N. Dak., where he and his father own an extensive farm, and we have always found Mr. Job extremely kind, polished in his manner, warm hearted and very courteous to all regardless of their sta- RICK W.

Clayton E. and Mrs. Craft, and they reside in a pleasant home at 4575 Oakenwald Ave. ALL-HASH ROBERTS AND HIS BAN- Last Saturday morning, after The Broad Ax made its appearance, containing our article on Frederick Douglass and an excellent cut of that great champion of the rights of the Negro, All-Hash Roberts, who is one of those big, cheap, little-supposed leaders of the Negro race who never buys a newspaper published in the interest of the Afro-Americans or reads it unless he can sponge it from some friend, concluded after reading or familiarizing himself with the career of Frederick Douglass, though the columns of The Broad Ax which he had borrowed from someone, that something must be done to counteract the effect of our article. So, on Sunday afternoon, All-Hash or All-Mouth Roberts lifted a collection in the Men's Sunday Club which meets in Quinn Chapel for the purpose of having his great (?) speech and the remarks of the others who spoke at the sherman House almost three weeks ago. Published in the columns of the paper whose editor does a little praying and preaching on the side and who gets some of the ill-gotten gains or crumbs which falls from the tables of Revs. Carey, Murray and Thomas, and who also received a complimentary ticket to attend the Douglass banquet. We do not blame the editor of the old mossback paper for working All-Hash Roberts for a free ticket nor for bleeding him for money to have his stale utterances at the Sherman House published in the forth-coming issue of his paper which is incapable of moulding sentiment either for or against any proposition, but we do thinks its wrong or an act of injustice to compel its few readers to gaze upon All-Hash Robert's "mug" or to read his vaporings. This old preaching editor ought to know that The Broad Ax got all the glory out of the Frederick Douglass celebration in Chicago, for it was the only paper in the west which contained an exhaustive sketch of his life and his picture which was very galling to All-Mouth Roberts. All-Hash Roberts engineered the Douglass banquet in order to boom himself for county commissioner and he thinks he can secure the nomination if he continues to hold on to Rev. A. J. Carey's shirt-tail, when some man by the name of Lawrence Y. Sherman attempted to speak "On True Greatness" but who devoted all his time in an endeavor to reply to Rev. R. C. Ransom, some small-headed individual --- hailed him as the next Governor of Illinois; then All-Hash Roberts who had himself installed as toastmaster, jumped to his feet and waved his napkin above his empty-head and acted like a sick-cat. The morning after the banquet Hash-Dashy Roberts expected to wake up and find his name scattered all over the newspapers, but such was not the case for the gentlemen of the press realized that the ex-barber was using the name or the memory of Frederick Douglass, to play cheap politics and to boom himself for county commissioner. In order not to loose so much time in answering questions in relation to "The Life of Frederick Douglass," by Charles W. Chestnutt, and "The Life of Thomas Jefferson," by Thomas R. Watson, we will simply say that the two books are bound in cloth and consist of one hundred and thirty-five pages each, that each book sells for 75 cents, that they are published by Small, Maynard & Co., 6 Beacon St., Boston, Mass., and that they can be found on sale in all the leading book stores. CHIPS Thomas Tobin, Collector for the Town of Lake, well be re-nominated for the same position Monday.

Alderman Thomas Carey will have a walk-away in the 29th Ward, for it seems to be a hard matter to find anyone to run against him.

Joshua Strothers, a colored boy 18 years of age, of Des Moines, Iowa, has invented an automatic electric igniter of gasoline automobiles. It seems that William C. Lawson will be united upon by the leaders of the G. O. Lily White Party as their candidate for Sheriff of Cook county. Old Dan Healy, who has managed to eat at the public crib for "Lo these many years," will not be given any consideration when it comes to selecting candidates for sheriff of this county. County Commissioner Rollin B. Organ, left for Minneapolis, Minn., Monday evening, where he will spend one week, returning home Monday in time to attend the meeting of the County Board. Mrs. Blackwell's many friends will be glad to know that she is, now permanently located at 77 Clark street, Suite 9, as a first class stenographer and court reporter. The Legislature of Maryland has refused to pass a "Jim Crow Car Law," much to the delight of the colored citizens of that state. Many Democratic members of the Legislature voted against the measure. Many of the halfnaked ladies who met Prince Henry at the Auditorium Monday evening came near busting or breaking their corset-strings while endeavoring to perform the court or the royal bow. For some time past Mrs. Charles H.

Andrew Jackson Carey, who has always got his hands down into the pockets of the members of Quinn Chapel after more money, says that he wants two thousand dollars by Easter Sunday, and the city is again flooded with beggars for Quinn. We presume that Rev. Carey wants some of the money to buy a new Easter suit and to assist in paying the thirty-five dollars rent for a house for himself to live in. Over two hundred thousand dollars were spent by the leaders of Chicago's four hundred in entertaining Prince Henry, and his big dog. While there are many people within the city who are almost starving to death for the want of food and work, and the past week mud has been knee deep in the streets, and the town is ready to go into bankruptcy. Consistency! O, consistency, thou art a precious jewel!

News comes to us to the effect that Alderman J. B.

They are familiar figures on the streets of the city, where they are greatly respected and sustained in their good work-Ex. Judge F. M.

Few persons know that on a railway line like the Santa Fe it costs nearly as much to renew ties ($925,000 yearly) as is paid to station agents and station clerks; that the annual repairs of roadway and track ($3,350,000) exceed the salaries of trainmen and traffic clerks; that the renewal of rails ($626,000) costs almost as much as the telegraph service; that watchmen and track-walkers draw nearly as much money ($137,000) as is paid out for stationery and printing; that the item of rail fastenings ($250,000 a year) exceeds the expense of legal service. But it pays to have the track just Have Laugh on Champ Clark. They are having a laugh on Champ Clark in Washington.

In these days, when every means of livelihood is overcrowded, a man who is the creator and only expert follower of a profession is rare enough to be interesting. Such a man is F. Howard Hill, wax model man, who has caused wondering attention and not a few wagers by posing in the window of a music store as an automatic piano player, and in a clothing store as an artificial form on which to show clothing. "When I was fourteen, which was twelve years ago," he said, "I began to pose for artists. I then lived in Leicester, England. I made an exceptionally good model, because I was able to stand perfectly still for so long a time. An artist told me if I would go to London I could earn a fine living, for good models were rare and in great demand. I ran away from home, and was soon doing well in London. One day a visitor or to the studio where I was posing said: 'If it were not for your winking no one could tell that you were alive.' That put the idea into my head, and I began to practice holding my eyelids motionless. Winking, you know, is a natural involuntary act. A tear drop oozes from the lachrymal gland, and by the passing of the eyelid over the eyeball is winking, this drop is spread in a thin film over the ball, and protects it from the dust and the direct contact of the air. When the lachrymal gland fails to act the dry eyeball becomes so painful that water has to be dropped into the eye. "It was difficult to accomplish, but I finally succeeded, and can now stand for five hours without winking. The first quarter of an hour is hardest to endure. The greatest difficulty is to keep the throat moist. I have absolute control of each muscle of the body separately, and what would be impossible to you has become, through training, perfectly natural and easy to me. "Most of my practice, by the way, was done in this country. I came over here and perfected my work, and then went back and gave exhibitions in Europe and England. I knew if I could come back here as a European attraction I could demand better prices. This I found to be true, and I now make an easy and more comfortable living, and have many more offers than I can fill. I am perfecting a new performance along the same line. It is safe to say that it will be a source of greater astonishment than the one I am doing now."—Chicago Tribune. Purifying Milk by Pressure After aerated milk, sterilized milk, peptonized milk, lactated milk and malted milk there is now to be added a new kind of scientific hygienic milk. This is compressed milk. By a new process the microbes that abound in cow's milk are squeezed to death-at least a part of them are, for there are about 500,000 germs to every tesspeonful of unboiled cow's milk. To investigate the effect of pressure on bacteria an apparatus has been devised which is remarkable for having produced what is probably the greatest hydrostatic pressure ever reached-over 450,000 pounds per square inch. The particular object of these experiments was to determine whether the bacteria in milk might not be killed by hydrostatic pressure, so that it would keep a longer time without going sour. Moderate pressures were first tried, but appeared to have no effect. The pressures were then increased and notable results were obtained. Milk subjected to pressures of seventy to 100 tons kept from twenty-four to sixty hours longer without going sour than milk which had not been subjected to compression. The degree to which the keeping qualities of milk were improved appeared to depend as much on the time for which the pressure was maintained as upon the actual pressure reached. Pressures of ninety tons per square inch maintained for an hour prevented milk from going sour for from four to six days. Complete sterilization of the milk, however, was in no case effected, even at the highest pressures, and the milk in many cases acquired peculiar tastes and odors on keeping, indicating that cretain species of bacteria were killed while others were not.—London Express. Singularly enough there is no yacht club in Venice, the city of waters, and the people have never taken an interest in yachting. There are no sailboats in the lagoons except those used for commercial purposes. Perhaps the citizens have enough of the water without using it for amusement. It may seem too much like business. There is a small boat club for rowing, but the members are chiefly Englishmen and Americans. They have several single and two four-oared shells, and sometimes have races among themselves, but the public do not give them much encouragement. There are two riding clubs, however, in a city without a horse or a carriage or a wheeled-vehicle of any sort, which you will admit is quite an anomaly. The papers this morning announce a paper chase to be given by one of the clubs next Sunday. The President of the Club di Equitazione has the honor to announce "il primo paper hunt della attuale stagione" at 12 o'clock, and says that a special train will leave at 10.30 for Mestre, the first town on the mahuland, where it will take place. Venetian sports keep their horses over there, and when they want to ride they are compelled to make a railway journey of twenty minutes, where they have a riding school. There is another club composed of officers of the army, on the Lido, an island in the Adriatle, where nearly forty horses are kept.—Chicago Record-Herald. Luck Better Than Brains. Ex-Gov. Upham of Wisconsin, who, as the Post stated the other day, was once mourned for dead, told a good story on himself at the Capitol yesterday. "I was once interested in two lumber deals," he said. "I had offered a valuable piece of property at $60,000 and at the same time I was trying to buy a tract of pine trees. While the deals were pending I ran across a gypsy fortune teller in the woods, and I asked her to tell my fortune. "You will be very lucky in your deals,' she said. "That's good,' I remarked. "Yes,' continued the fortune teller, 'your luck will beat your brains." Gov. Upham says that the woman spoke the truth. A few days later the syndicate which had the option of $60,000 upon the property he had offered at that price decided not to accept it; and it was not long before he was able to sell the land for almost double the amount.—Washington Post. Australian Apples. The large increase in our export of apples, of which a note has been made here, may easily be made still larger if our growers adopt the method of packing in use among the Australian shippers of this fruit. The German papers say that Australian apples are now selling in Vienna at from 5 to 10 cents each, the choice ones bringing even more. The apples are not only juicy and of a fine flavor, but they are packed in long cases, each containing 100 apples, carefully selected, wrapped separately in tissue paper, and then in corn husks. Gold and silver bullion to the amount of 130,000,000 taels has been dug up in the Forbidden City since the return of the court. Owing to a belief that treasure was buried within the precincts two-thirds of the city was not opened to visitors when it was under the care of the American and Japanese commanders, and a close watch was kept to prevent any one hunting for the buried bullion.

ALICE SCHAFER A mother and child in bed. A Doctor's Little Daughter Gured of Grip by Pe-ru-na. Dr. R. Robbins, Physician and Surgeon of Muskogee, Indian Ter., writes: "I have been a practicing physician for a good many years and was always slow to take hold of patent medicines, but this winter my little girl and myself were taken with the grip. I was so bad I was not able to sit up. I sent for a doctor, but he did me no good. "Finally I sent and got a bottle of Peruna and commenced to take it. I took two bottles and my cough was gone and my lungs loosened up and my head became clear. My little girl took the same way. "It looked as though she would die, she was so sick. I gave her medicine, but it seemed to do her little good, so I sent and got one more bottle of Peruna and commenced to give it to her. It was only a short time until she was getting along all right, so I give your medicine, Peruna, the praise for what it did for me and my dear little daughter."—Dr. R. Robbins. Mrs. Schafer, 436 Pope Ave., St. Louis, Mo., writes: "In the early part of last year I wrote to you for advice for my daughter Alice, four years of age. "She has been a puny, sickly, ailing child since her birth. She had convulsions and catarrhal fever. I was always doctoring until we commenced to use Peruna. She grew strong and well. Peruna is a wonderful tonic; the best medicine I have ever used."—Mrs. Schafer. Mrs. C. E Long, the mother of little Mina Long, writes from Atwood, Colo., as follows: "We can never thank you enough for the change you have made in our little one's health. Before she began taking your Peruna she suffered everything in the way of cough, colds and croup, but now she has taken not quite a bottle of Peruna, and is well and strong as she has ever been in her life. She has not had the croup once since she began taking Peruna, and when she MINA ESTER LONG has a little cold a few doses of Peruna fixes her out all right. We can never praise it enough "—Mrs. C. E. Long. Mrs. G. W. Heard, of Howth, Texas, writes to Dr. Hartman in regard to her baby girl, Ruth: "My little girl had some derangement of the Bowels. She was a mere skeleton and we did not think she would ever get well. After giving her less than one bottle of Peruna she was sound and well. Now she has a good appetite and is a picture of health." Mrs. Heard also writes in regard to her son, Carl: "My son's earn had been affected since he was a babe only a few months old. The last year I thought he had almost lost his hearing and had a local physician treating him for about six weeks. Finally I began giving him your remedy, and after he had taken two bottles he was entirely cured. I cannot praise Peruna enough."—Mrs. G. W. Heard. If you do not receive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.

The land hunger manifest for several years acutely is more intense now than ever. More people realize that if they want a farm of their own they must get it now, before the cheap farm lands are all gone. More settlers are going into Northern Wisconsin this spring than at any previous time. People who have gone there a few years ago and have become independent have proved this an ideal country for a man of small means to get a start, no less than for the man with money and farming experience to make an investment. Prof. W. A. Henry, Dean of the College of Agriculture, in an article on the Dairy Industry of Northern Wisconsin, says: "After careful study of all the conditions prevailing in Northern Wisconsin, the writer is firmly impressed with the belief that this will become one of the great dairy regions of America. First of all there is that prime requisite for fine butter and cheese; namely, an ample supply of pure cold water everywhere accessible. Second, an abundance of wholesome stock foods. In summer time the cattle of Northern Wisconsin will find in its pastures the finest of grasses and clovers (red and white clovers flourish), and timothy and blue grass pastures are as prevalent and productive as anywhere further south." If you want to know more about this country you can learn from the booklets which the "Soo" Line has prepared. Write to D. W. Casseday, Land and Industrial Agent, "Soo" Line, Minneapolis. Tell him you want to know about the dairy country in Northern Wisconsin. What Becomes of Old Shoes. Few persons know, or care particularly, what becomes of the thousands of pairs of old shoes that improvident New Yorkers cast aside every day. When they buy new footwear, nine out of ten persons leave their old shoes at the store where they make their purchase, thinking, no doubt, that the "cast offs" are of no further use and fit only for the city's refuse heap. Not so, however, for old shoes are a source of income and benefit to thousands of persons. In the first place, the clerks in the large stores collect all the old shoes turned over to them by customers, and every few days sell them for a small sum a pair to regular dealers in them. While the amount received by the clerk for a single pair is inconsiderable, his weekly income is substantially increased by his aggregate receipts from this source, $2, $3 and even $5 a week being nothing unusual for clerks in the largest shoe stores to obtain. The dealer makes a snug sum by having the old shoes repaired and then selling them to the poor of the city and the negroes of the South. To the latter class by far the greater part of the supply goes. Lea, S. Dak., March 3d.—Wm. H. Neelen, a ranchman, whose headquarters are here, says: "I have been afflicted with Kidney Trouble for several years.

"I also had a frequent desire to urinate when riding and the pain and annoyance I endured was very great. "I tried many medicines without getting any better till at last I was told to try Dodd's Kidney Pills. "I have used in all six boxes of this medicine and can say that they have done me more good than anything else I ever used. "I have had more relief and comfort since using Dodd's Kidney Pills than I had for years before." "But mamma," said the beautiful South American heiress, "do you believe I will have any trouble in being received in society in the United States?"

Mrs. Pauline Judson Writes: "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM;—Soon after my marriage two years ago I found myself in constant pain. The doctor said my womb was turned, and this caused the pain with considerable inflammation. He prescribed for me for [Illustration of a woman in profile, framed by roses.] four months, when my husband became impatient because I grew worse instead of better, and in speaking to the drug-gist he advised him to get Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and Sanative Wash. How I wish I had taken that at first; it would have saved me weeks of suffering. It took three long months to restore me, but it is a happy relief, and we are both most grateful to you. Your Compound has brought joy to our home and health to me."—MRS.

Hoisting and Placing of all kinds of Eems and Girders for architectural work. Office. 31 South Canal St., Chicago Another row occurred in the South End Sunday Club Sunday afternoon, and it was started by Rev. J. C. Peters and Saint Bully Emmick, who made no bones in calling Rev. J. W. Robinson a liar right out in meeting. The fuss was started over the adoption of the minority or the majority report of the committee on Public Morals. After much bad feeling and almost blood-shed, the minority report went through. Hereafter all who attend the South End Sunday Club, or those who pass St. Mark's church while it is in session should, in order to protect or defend themselves, cary razors, clubs or revolvers, for the members of the South End Sunday Club are fast transforming themselves into bruises or cowardly blackguards. As we predicted, the members of the American House of Lords will not throw or cast hollowing, bloodthirsty Ben Tillman overboard or out of the U. S. Senate, which proves that the other members of the House of Lords are on the same level with Tillman, which is further proof that their moral status is very low, for it is hard for us to conceive how any gentlemen can afford to associate with Tillman or tolerate him in their presence for one minute, and 'if there is a place called heaven) we fear that the late President Wm. McKinley well not be permitted to enter its portals for the reason that he ate dinner with Ben Tillman at the White House Jan. 1st, 1901. PARAGRAPHS OF PEOPLE. Marconi offers £100 to the one who interprets or reads one of his wireless messages. The young woman who rejected him wins. It is said that J. Pierpont Morgan could put out a new trust of legal size every working day in the week if he put his mind to it. The City of Mexico recently honored the memory of the feminine patriot Donna Josepha Ortiz de Domingues by erecting a statue in her honor in the Plaza Santa Domingo. Judge Thomas Breen of Michigan, who served during the civil war, has just received his discharge papers after being lost in the archives of the national capitol for many years. Rev. Dr. Theodore L. Cuyler has just celebrated his 80th birthday at his home in Brooklyn. He is at present pastor emeritus of the Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian church in that city. Mrs. Anna Conover, formerly an American actress, who has been the soul of the campaign for preventing cruelty to Paris cab horses, has been officially listed for decoration with the cross of the Legion of Honor. President Roosevelt will be the principal speaker at the public installation of President Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia university on April 19. He was at one time a student in the Columbia law school and received a degree of LL. D. From the university in 1900. J. B. Duke of Durham, N.

Mr. Duke, it is understood, wishes the South to erect the first memorial to the martyred president, and will place the figure in the college park of Trinity college at Durham. Any man with ideas in advance of his age is likely to wear clothes away behind it. After the matrimonial knot is tied a girl quits making tea and learns to make coffee. ```markdown ``` The Superstitious Club was having its meeting. The Germantown girl who had been told to hunt up data regarding man and matrimony rose to report. Her conclusions were as follows: When you have decided to select a husband, look well to his hair. It is a good indication of his character. Men with fine brown hair; light or dark, make the best husbands. They are thoughtful, sympathetic and less apt to be selfish than their very light or very dark brothers. Men with fine light hair are smart but conceited, and if they do not propose until late in life they are liable to grow cross and selfish. Men whose hair turns prematurely gray are more dependable. They may be a little nervous, but are intellectual, sympathetic and very honorable. Nine times out of ten the man with red hair is smart. When you run across the tenth, he is the stupidest person under the sun. ALL TRUE, Time is a bonfire, because it is money. The man who never has sinned never was a man. We educate children; we teach dogs; and the dogs learn. ALL TRUE, Either girls prink before they pray, or they pray after they prink. Little babies are a sure cure for lots of queer things that women have. Some young women have soul yearninge worse than the stomach ache. It isn't necessary for a brilliant conversationalist to know what he is talking about. It is easier to be afraid to say you are afraid of a woman than it is not to be afraid of her. The man who thinks he knows it all is bad enough, but the woman who thinks he does, too, is worse. A man can be devoted to a woman without loving her; he can not love her without being devoted to her. TRADE FACTS AND FIGURES. Portsmouth, N. H., will have the largest paper mill in the world.
