THE n a Trolley Wreck in New York State. Ran Into an Open Switch and Crashed Into Cars Which Were Standing on a Siding. Buffalo, N. Y.—A train of two trolley cars, westbound from Lockport, on the lines of the international Railway Co, and due at Tonawanda at 9:15 o'clock Wednesday night, ran into an open switch at a siding just east of Martinsville and crashed into a trolley freight motor and a train of seven freight cars which were lying on the siding for the passenger train to go by. Five passengers were killed outright and a score injured, some of whom may die. The dead: John Bittiman, motorman, Lockport, N. Y. C. T. Hutcheson, negro, Lockport. Unknown woman, head crushed. Girl and boy, supposed to be brother and sister, names unknown. The most seriously injured are: Theodore Nestman, Buffalo, head and arms injured. Dr. E. A. Wieland, Buffalo, head injured, hand crushed. H. J. Walz, Buffalo, head cut, arm broken. Mrs. Emma H. Maloney, Buffalo, internal injuries. Mrs. Virginia Sanderson, Buffalo, internal injuries. Mrs. J. D. Heath, Niagara Falls, internal injuries. Lee Johnson, motorman, both legs crushed, will probably die. The passenger cars were going at a high rate of speed when the accident occurred and the impact was terrific. The foremost car was utterly demolished. The wedge-shaped end of the freight car it in, half and the rear car completed the work of destruction. Members of the relief parties, hurriedly dispatched on news of the wreck, did not at first realize that two passenger cars were involved, so complete had been the demolition of one of them. The rear car was badly stove in in front, but remained on the tracks. There were about 40 persons on the two cars and most of them were killed. At the hospitals in Buffalo it was reported at a late hour that Johnson, the motorman, was the only one among the injured likely to die. HEAVY FINES. They Are Imposed on Railroad and Former Officials Charged with Giving Rebates. Chicago, Ill. — Judge Landis, in the United States district court Wednesday sentenced the Chicago & Alton railroad, which was recently convicted of granting illegal rebates at Kansas City, to pay a fine of $20,000 on each of two counts, or a total of $40,000. John Failthorn and Fred A. Wann, exofficials of the road, who were also convicted, were sentenced to pay a fine of $5,000 each on two counts, or a total of $10,000. The defendants were fined on two counts of an indictment containing ten counts. The specific charge on which they were convicted was that they had given to the Schwarzschild & Sulzberger Co. a rebate of $1 per car on all shipments from the Kansas City plant of the packing company. The defendants claimed that the charge was made against them by the packing company which had the right to levy it because it owned the track near the plant and therefore had the right to charge the railroad for trackage. The court in passing sentence said that he could see no extenuating circumstances in the granting of the rebates. After the entering of the sentence the defendants gave notice of the appeal. The inflicted by Judge Landis is identical with that imposed on the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad in a similar case by Judge Bethea in the United States court court. Chase for a Murderer. Pittsburgh, Pa.—Darkness put an end to a chase after a negro murderer of Henry Evans, foreman of a corps of inspectors of the Pittsburg & Western Railroad Co. at Willow Grove Wednesday night. Evans was shot by the negro, whose name is unknown, while the latter was trying to rob a car camp. The negro was run into a woods. A picket was posted about the woods. Steamer on Fire. Lacrosse, Wis. — The steamer Quincy, of the Diamond Joe line, is on ore near Prempealeau, with 200 people on board. The boat turned half over after the fire started. Several reported drowned. Killed His Wife and Four Children. Charleston, S. C.—J. W. Irnegan, a well to do white farmer of Colleton county, Wednesday killed his wife and four children, brainning them an aax, at their home, about 20 miles from Waltersboro. Irnegan says he killed his family, but does not know why. He is believed to be insane. Surrendered Their Arms Tambov, Russia.—The Seventh cave alay, which mutinied July 7, surrendered their arms Wednesday and ex pressed contrition for their conduct. In Union There is Strength. THE POOR OF OUR LAND People in Almshouses in 1904 Numbered 163,176. Washington, D. C.-According to a report issued by the census bureau Tuesday there were in the United States in 1904, 163,176 persons in almshouses, and of these 111,817 were males. Although the number of almshouse paupers is increasing, the increase has not kept pace with the growth of population and consequently the ratio of almshouse paupers to population is decreasing. In 1880 it was 132 per 100,000 of population; it decreased to 117 in 1890 and to 101 in 1903. While pauperism is less prevalent among females than among males, the chief distinction between the two sexes seems to be that females having once entered an almshouse are there permanently, while men are, to a large extent, only winter boarders. Negro paupers do not constitute so large a proportion of the almshouse population as negroes form of the general population. The foreign born whites, whose economic position is not so high, show a greater tendency towards pauperism than the native whites of native parentage and native whites of foreign parentage. Commenting on this fact the report says: "There is, however, no reason to believe that many immigrants drift into almshouses soon after their arrival in the United States, for only 2 per cent. of all the foreign born in almshouses had been in this country less than five years. Among the different nationalities of foreign born whites the degree of thrift, combined racial characteristics, seems to determine in large part, the tendency towards paupers. Of the paupers, 48 per cent. had been laborers and servants, 19 per cent. engaged in manufacturing and mechanical industries and 24 per cent. occupied with agriculture, transportation and other outdoor pursuits. More than three-fourths of the female paupers had been servants. CROP BULLETIN. Condition of Wheat, Corn, Oats and Potatoes on July 1. Ten Thousand Minera Strike Athens, O.—Ten thousand miners in the Hocking district struck Tuesday after working less than two weeks under the agreement made at Columbus in June. The cause is that when loaders received their pay checks they found they were short 36-100 of one cent a ton from the price which they were to receive under the Columbus agreement for cutters, loaders and day workers. The matter was referred to the sub-district miners' officers, who will take up the matter with the operators. Mines in Hocking and Sunday Creek valleys will be idle until a settlement is made. Complete Fusion Philadelphia, Pa.—Complete fusion between the Lincoln republican party and the democratic party of this state was effected Tuesday at a reassembled convention of the Lincoln party in this city.

Bottom row: Rollins, 2b; Green, p; Jackson, su Turner, l f; Gordon, r f; Love, ss. This organization has had remarkable success thus far this season. Its three reverses of last week with clubs, (white) referred to in our local colums today, were about as many defeats as the "Champs" have sustained during all of the season prior to that time, and they have played a good many games, too. On the whole the boys are entitled to a great deal of credit. One thing sure they seem to have scared all of the race baseball organizations outside of the city in the state of Ohio, so they are not easily able to get the games they have repeatedly advertised for and greatly desire. Any organization that can screw up sufficient baseball courage to meet the "Champs" in Cleveland or elsewhere in Ohio, have only to address the manager at 166 Brownell street, Cleveland, O., to be accommodated.

Chicago, Ill.—The concert of the Choral Study club closing the season was given at Institutional church the 25th, Mr. Pedro Tinsley conducting, Coleridge-Taylor's "Wedding Feast" and "Death of Minnehaha" were given. This body improves with every hearing and the real merit of the composition grows upon the people. Mrs. Martha B. Anderson gave a good rendition of the soprano part. The tenor, George I. Holt, of Des Moines, Ia., was a revelation in his group of songs. He showed a voice of excellent range and quality, sufficient power and a fine temperance. It is ever reliable throughout its range, and similarly conveying its musicality "the most" of the "Wedding Feast" was his perfect vocal control especially proven. The indefatigable conductor, Mr. Tinsley, gave the bartone solos with the perfection of tone and expression that characterizes all his work. The chorus work was excellent. The orchestra used a little too great power in some solos, its fault being undoubtedly due to little acquaintance with the work. Mrs. Yarborough and Mr. Johnson alternated at the piano and Miss Jackson presided as proficiently at the organ as she does at the piano.—Miss Kate A.

All communications should be addressed: HARRY C. SMITH. Editor and Proprietor THE GAZETTE. Blackstone Building, Cleveland, Ohio. Member Ohio Legislature, ..... 1984 to 1988. 1986 to 1988. 1990 to 1992. Cleveland, Saturday, July 14, 1906. THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. The editor of The Gazette is indebted to Senator J. B. Foraker for Bulletin No. 8 of the United States census, a volume devoted to the "Negroes in the United States." The Southern Republican, a weekly paper "of outspoken opinion having the right spirit of true Americanism," will be launched early in September at Alexander City, Ala., with the Hon. Joseph C. Manning, the well known writer, as editor. We wish it every success because Mr. Manning is one of the few aggressive white friends our race has in that section of the country. Almost opposite the entrance to the suspension bridge, on the Canadian side, and commanding a splendid view of Niagara Falls, is the St. Clair hotel, C. E. Smith, a member of the race proprietor. We wish to call our readers' attention to the St. Clair hotel's advertisement elsewhere in this paper and comment it to all those who visit America's greatest attraction, Niagara Falls. Now come the miserable democrats of Mississippi with a legislative enactment intended to disfranchise a large number of Afro-Americans of that state. A new primary election bill has passed both branches of the state's assembly, which gives to the state central committee of the parties the right "to name one additional qualification" for voters who participate in the primaries. The opponents of the bill or law threaten to contest its validity in the courts and we hope they will do so promptly. Bishop Scott, of the M. E. church, missionary to Africa, the only Afro-American representative in the bishopric of his church, was "jim crowed" on a German ocean liner in route to this country recently, according to New York papers. Here is another exhibition of the baneful influence of the miserable American prejudice. A few months ago we had one from London, Eng. If our people do not soon begin a concerted legal effort to put an end to, "jim erowism" there is no telling how far into the old world it will spread in the next few years. OUR FRIEND AND BENEFACTOR. It is possible to misinterpret the language and meaning of Senator J. B. Foraker touching the question, for-middling railroad discrimination against Afro-American passengers; but to mistake the motive and purpose of the man in strict fidelity to the race cannot be questioned by consistent and fair-dealing minds. Senator Foraker has never admitted directly or indirectly the right of a state to authorize discrimination not has he disclaimed any design on his part to interfere against such discrimination. The record of his past life and his best efforts in congress have attested the truth of his loyalty to the principles of equal justice and equal rights to the people irrespective of races. From the very beginning of legislation in regard to railroads he has taken broad ground for the rights of all the people, with no thought of race discrimination. It was farthest from his dream to enforce any measure of discrimination in railroad travel. With him it was solely a matter of business to accomplish the best results looking to the protection of public interest and the welfare of the country. The Foraker-Warner amendment was drawn and introduced with the very best intentions, as far as our people were concerned and both senators bowed to the wishes of those most interested as soon as appeals went into the upper house praying for the elimination of the amendment because it was obnoxious to leading Afro-Americans. A dilemma was involved because "leaders" of the race were contradictory and uncertain as to their own demands of the senator when the amendment was drawn. A large number of those who sent to senators their protests against the amendment stood diametrically opposed to all legislation of a national character which it was thought would discriminate against a race. "After that amendment had been adopted, I commenced to receive as other senators did protests from Afro-Americans; some from Boston, from Baltimore and other points against the adoption of the amendment upon the theory that it was a recognition of what is called the 'Jim Crow' car system which has already been inaugurated and enforced in the southern states," says Senator Foraker. Continuing he said: "When I offered that amendment I had in view only and solely the purpose of securing to those who were compelled to take separate coaches, equally good accommodations wherever they may be so compelled. I had no purpose of interfering with established conditions anywhere, for I knew then as I so explained that was impossible in connection with this rate bill. It was not my purpose to approve or disapprove of the so-called 'Jim Crow' system. But I did have in view the purpose that those who are required to ride in separate coaches shall be given equally good coaches and good accommodations. It never once occurred to my mind that any body in the northern states would take exception to a provision upon the theory that it was in the nature of a sanction of the provision of separate coaches for white and colored men in general under this amendment. No such thought ever entered my mind and nothing of the kind was intended. But when this view was so taken by intelligent colored men of the north and the south, I was at a loss to know just what should be done about it." Assuredly the attitude of Senator Foraker is clear and well vindicated. He acted in the face of immediate circumstances and in a way to relieve those circumstances of all repressed conditions. Confronted by Senators Bailey, of Texas; Bacon, of Georgia; Tillman, of South Carolina, and others persistent in their determination to enforce restrictions which meant only humiliation to the Afro-American; yet Senator Foraker pressed his fight solely as a means looking to the relief of those whose condition needed alleviation. With that view in mind Ohio's senior senator labored and deserves the commendation of those who would justly consider the situation. The position he took, though it may not be in accord with what Afro-Americans of the north might demand, yet it was inspired from a motive significant of the noblest purpose. By neglect or oversight of the motive which prompted his purpose, Afro-Americans themselves of the south might have been left in a worse and more embarrassed condition and if Afro-Americans find no just ground on which to commend the effort, they at least should be very slow to censure the man who has so faithfully stood to the front as their lifelong friend and benefactor. How White Babies are Disposed of HOW WAY Babies are Disposed on Macon, Ga.—That many white babies have been given away by their mothers to Negro women in Macon is the announcement made by Rev. Dr. J.

Catskill, N. Y.—The president of the Catskill high school class of 1906 called on Miss Jennie Helicous and informed her that her presence was not desired at the class reception held June 20 at a local hotel.

Miss Helicous attended on the stage of the Nelda theatre, and her parents arranged a reception for her at home. That superintendent ought to be "tarred and feathered" and drummed out of Catskill to the south where he evidently belongs. Worth $100,000. Atlanta, Ga.—Cody Bryant enjoys the distinction of being the wealthiest Afro-American farmer in Georgia.

In 2 recent convention Representative John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi, gave some interesting historical incidents of warships which have borne the name of that state. "One of the ships engaged in the blockade of the Mexican coast during the Mexican war, under the command of Capt. Connor," said Mr. Williams, "was named the Mississippi. She was afterward under the special command of Capt. Forest, with the fleet that secured the neutrality of Yucatan and captured the Mexican flotilla at Tobasco. It was the name of the American battleship which flew Admiral Farragut's nennant when he broke through the obstructions from the mouth of the Mississippi to New Orleans on the expedition which led to the separation of the cis-Mississippi from the trans-Mississippi confederacy. It was the name of a confederate cruiser, then being built for Admiral Sommes, and not yet quite completed, which was taken by the federal forces when they captured New Orleans, and which, if completed, might have taken the place which the confederate cruiser Alanama subsequently took in the history of the naval affairs of the world. It was the name of the battleship of Admiral Perry when, in 1852, by the wise exhibition of a "big stick," he procured from the old Japanese government the conditions under which Japan, that rejuvenated giant of the twentieth century, opened its ports to the commerce of the United States, and, as a result, to the commerce and fellowship of the world. It may be said, therefore, to have been, in a way, the opening wedge whereby the trunk of old prejudices and Chauvinistic isolation in Japan was split and destroyed. From its guns, beached the seed which, when grown to fruitage, has developed into the present empire of Japan the most stupendous exhibition of the rebirth and rapid growth to national manhood of a people, which the world has ever witnessed. "It was upon the same ship, Mississippi, that Capt. Perry afterwards visited Halifax and Cape Breton, on account of the seizure of our fishing vessels by British cruisers. The result of that visit was the reciprocity treaty with Canada, in 1854. And last, but by no means least, in my estimation, it is the name of a state second in the union to none—a state whose great men have illustrated the virtue of American citizenship on the bench, in the cabinet and in legislative halls; a state whose men have illustrated the virtues and greatness in life-rendering of American soldiery on the field. May the good ship Mississippi, when she is commissioned, go forth in herself an object lesson to the world of the excellence of American naval architecture, and in her crew and her officers an object lesson of the fact that American intelligence and daring are all as fully to be found now as in the most heroic days of the republic!" THE AMERICAN DRAMA Seeking Its Origin, One Must Go Back, It Almost Seems, to the American Circus. No problem is more fascinating to the student of Elizabethan drama than the attempt to trace its splendid achievement to one easiest sources. The quest leads to one back to primitive folk plays, to secular improvisations and mediaeval renderings of sacred story; and all study of perfected types shows clearly here and there the determinate influence of these first attemtets. It is odd that no one has undertaken a similar investigation of our American drama, a species of art so distinctive from drama proper that we are not only justified in seeking, but are compelled to seek a partially different origin. The material drawn from American life, developed by American talent, and appealing to American audiences has peculiar characteristics pointing irresistibly, in conception, development and execution, to our first artist: achievement, the American circus; and inquiry as to origins takes us back to our own—shall I say medieval days?—when Mr. P. T. Barnum was perfecting the entertainment that was to burst upon the eyes of an astounded world. Though we can hardly be said to have evolved new species, we have given such marked coloring to existing types of comedy that we may fairly claim the credit of creating new varieties. The local color play, the society play, the melodrama, the comic opera, flourish as strictly national productions upon our soil, differentia being perhaps more firmly established in the case of the first two than of the others. In all, motif, plot, characterization, setting show unmistakably the influence of the great prototype already suggested. Circles and circles of unrelated action; swift galloping from one to an oater less the audience should have time to think; the ruling out of cause and effect, in order that something, no matter what, may happen every minute—do not our plots betray their origin in the planning of a circus day? I venture to affirm that in no other country can legs wriggle so swiftly, can the swinging and leaping of the trapeze performer go so alertly and firmly on. I would pit our contortionists and our hoop-jumpers against those of all other lands. With equal firmness I assert that in no other drama does action follow so swiftly, so unconnected as in our own—From "The Point of View," in Scribner. Corman e Fine Baseball Bl Gorman a Fine Baseball Player. Up to the time his fatal illness overtook him Senator Gorman, of Maryland, was fond of recalling the days when he was captain and played right field with the old National baseball club of Washington. His activity and energy as an athlete attracted the attention of President Johnson, who offered him the collectorship of the Fifth Maryland district. The young fellow hesitated, feeling reluctant to abandon his favorite pastime just then, whereupon the president offered to hold the place for him until the season closed. Gorman accepted gratefully, and thus it was that his ability as a baseball player won him his first good political appointment. MAKE MONEY!

Moody has thoroughly renovated the Gem restaurant, 91 Sheriff street, making the kitchen as neat and clean as the dining room which compares favorably with any place of the kind down town. The same is true of his 15-cent dinner. It is really first class in every respect. There is also quick and the very best service. Everything first class. All causes for complaint having thus been brushed aside, it is now up to our people who take their dinner down town to so patronize this race enterprise as to justify Mr. Moody in going to the large expense incurred in making the splendid improvements referred to above. His Sunday dinners are exceptionally fine. Do not forget the Gem when you are down town and also wish breakfast and supper. Nahum Brascher * * * apparently afraid he might accidentally say something of consequence in his editorial space, has kept it for many weary months crammed with reading ads of himself and his various catch penny stunts while his one time moderately capable thinkerium has been in cold storage. But suddenly, just after Giles Jackson sent out to the race press his appetizing offer to run ads in the papers that would stand by him and talk him up, and, strange coincidence, the very week after Tom Fortune got a consignment of the "talking kind"—Brascher, half-happy, half-jealous at the apparent chumminess of Tom and Giles, punctured the welcome silence by a half-column send-me-some article in which he tried to re-say what Tom had said when boosting his latest find, "Colonet" Jackson.—Alexandria (Va.) Home News. Laura Clay, 24, Afro-American, and Joe Leberak, 64, French Canadian, came to Cleveland Thursday from Bloomfield, to get married, but failed because Deputy Zizelman couldn't identify the groom-elect. While the groom tried to get the license, the bride waited at the office of Justice Wm. Brown. "I won't go back to that farm again until I am his wife," she said. "I have worked hard enough for him. See those corns on my hands," and she held them up for inspection. "I got those working on one of Joe's farms. He's got money and owns two farms. I'll have a good old, old, but he is just as young as he ever was." The number of white men who marry Afro-American women steadily increase throughout the country.

F. of Texas, and Assistant City Auditor, writes from the City Hall, San Antonio, Tex: "Carly two years ago I accepted a position secretary and treasurer with one of the goods establishments of Galveston Tex. "The sudden change from a high and dry altitude to sea level proved too much for me and I became afflicted with catarrh and cold in the head, and general debility to such an extent as to almost incapacitate me for attending to it. "I was induced to try Peruna, and after taking several bottles in small doses I am pleased to say that I was entirely restored to my normal condition and have ever since recommended the use of Peruna to my friends." THE FIRST COMPASS. Was Known to Sailors Before the Twelfth Century-Indispensable Adjunct to Navigation. Some Asian people, perhaps the Chinese, discovered, many centuries ago, that a kind of iron ore possessed a very peculiar quality. We call this ore magnetic ore, in more common language, lodestone, and it is very widely distributed, especially in the older crystalline rocks. It was found that if a bit of lodestone were placed in water upon a piece of cork or straw braid it would turn till the axis of the stone assumed a north and south position. A phenomenon of magnetism had been discovered by means of an ore that is peculiarly susceptible to magnetic influence. It is an open question whether the Chinese utilized the directive power of the lodestone, but it is certain that the first rude compass was not used on European vessels before the twelfth century of our era. By that time the true magnetic compass had been evolved through the discovery that if an iron or steel needle were stroked on a lodestone it would receive the attractive and directive power of this ore. With this wonderful appliance placed at the service of navigation, the vessels that had hugged the coasts soon dared to venture even out of sight of land. A new impetus was gradually given to cartography, for now the true directions of the coast lines might be charted with some approach to accuracy. It was the hapy fortune of Italian sailors to make the surprisingly excellent surveys of the directions and lengths of the Black sea and Mediterranean coasts and along the Atlantic to British waters that have come down to us in the so-called Portulan maps.—Cyrus C. Adams, in Harper's. BLOATED WITH DROPSY. The Heart Was Badly Affected When the Patient Began Using Donn's. Mrs. Elizabeth Maxwell, of 415 West Fourth St. Olympia, Wash. says: "For over three years I suffered with a sanered with a dropsal condition without being aware that it was due to kidney trouble. The early stages were principally backache and bearing down pain, but I went along without worrying much until dropsy set dropsical condition without being aware that it was due to kidney trouble. The early stages were principally backache and bearing down pain, but I wont along without worrying much until dropsy set in. My feet and ankles swelled up, my hands puffed, and became so sense I could hardly close them. I had great difficulty in breathing, and my heart would flutter with the least exertion. I could not walk far without stopping again and again to rest. Since using four boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills the bloating has gone down and the feelings of distress have disappeared."

Patterns Nos. 5376 and 5373. The Norfolk suit has always been a favorite for boys, and bids fair to be very popular this season. The knickerbockers are of the usual shaping, and allow for fly or side closing. The lower part is finished by elastic bands inserted in a casing. The jacket is shaped by under-arm and shoulder seams, and stitched bands are applied to fronts and back, through which the belt is passed. A rolling collar finishes the neck. Dark blue sleeve is a good material for general wear, but other materials are suitable, such as English tweed, corduroy and chevlet. The medium size requires one and five-eighths yards of 54-inch material for the jacket, and seven-eighths yards for the knickerbockers. Boys' Norfolk Jacket, No. 5376.

Pattern No. 5552.—Shirring still continues to be very popular, and is shown to good advantage in this pretty design. The waist closes in the back and the shirring is arranged on each side of the front to about yoke depth, the fullness thus produced being gathered into the belt. Hand embroidery was effectively employed in the decorations, but lace motifs could be used equally as well. Crepe de chine, voile, albatross, pongee and batiste would all develop well by this pattern. The medium size requires two and one-quarter yards of 36-inch material for the making. Sizes for 32, 34, 36, 38, 40 and 42 inches bust measure. This pattern will be sent to you on receipt of 10 cents. Address all orders to the Pattern Department of this paper.

Why She Fled. Eliza had just crossed the river on the ice "I war trying to escape all the novels that are called the 'Uncle Tom of This or That,' she explained. With a wild glance behind her she continued her flight—N. Y. Sun. OPERATION AVOIDED EXPERIENCE OF MISS MERKLEY She Was Told That an Operation Was Inevitable. How She Escaped it. When a physician tells a woman suffering with serious feminine trouble that an operation is necessary, the very thought of the knife and the operating table strikes terror to her heart, and our hospitals are full of women coming for just such operations. Min Margret Merkley There are cases where an operation is the only resource, but when one considers the great number of cases of menacing female troubles cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound after physicians have advised operations, no woman should submit to one without first truying the Vegetable Compound and writing Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., for advice, which is free. Miss Margret Merkley, of 275 Third Street, Milwaukee, Wis., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "Loss of strength, extreme nervousness, shooting pains through the pelvic organs, bearing down pains and cramps compelled me to make a decision, making an examination, said I had a female trouble and ulceration and advised an operation. To this I strongly objected and decided to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, which quickly healed all the bad symptoms disassembled me. I once more strong, vigorous and well." Female troubles are steadily on the increase among women. If the monthly periods are very painful, or too frequent and excessive—if you have pain or swelling low down in the left side, bearing-down pains, don't neglect yourself: try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. ALL. FOND OF PEANUTS. Delicacy Relished by All Animals- Even the Hippopotamus Devours Them with Pleasure. "The peanut is a delicacy relied by all creatures," said a New York animal lover. "I have come to this conclusion after having offered it to every animal in the Central Park zoo, and having it refused by none. "Oh, I know it isn't allowed; but I'm not one of those individuals who offer animals indiscriminate numbers of hard-boiled eggs, frankfurters, cheese sandwiches and cigar stumps. It's for that sort of nuisance the rule about feeding is made. A single peanut can't ruin the digestion of a camel—or of any other creature, for that matter; and I never visit the zoo without a bag or two of those legumes to distribute. Yes, the canel is fond of them—very, and so are the peanuts. The hippopotamus obliquely opens his mouth to let me toss one in, but the mouth is so large and the peanut so small that I doubt if he can quite decide whether he likes it or not. "The kangaroo pokes his funny, horse-like head out to me, munches the peanut with relish, and then begs for more. The elephant, deer, ostrich, and even the lion, are all lovers of the peanut." Angel of Lower Bank Father Taylor's youngest grandchild declared she saw angels in the clouds beckoning her to come and play. One day a little friend said: "You're not the only one who sees angels There's a friend of mine up there too. See!" Little Pearl looked, and then drawn with exasperating indifference: "Oh, yes. But she isn't much of an angel, is she, sitting on the back doorsteps of Heaven, a-swinging her feet." Little Girl's Desire. Mabel had always worn high-topped shoes, much to hr own dissatisfaction, and one day while admiring her mother's slippers she said: "Mahma, can't I have a pair of low-necked shoes next summer?" DOCTOR'S SHIFT. Now Gets Along Without It. A physician says: "Until last fall I used to eat meat for my breakfast and suffered with indigestion until the meat had passed from the stomach. "Last fall I began the use of Grape-Nuts for breakfast and very soon found I could do without meat, for my body got all the nourishment necessary from the Grape-Nuts, and since then I have not had any indigestion and am feeling better and have increased in weight. "Since finding the benefit I derived from Grape-Nuts I have prescribed the food for all of my patients suffering from indigestion or over-feeding and also for those recovering from disease where I want a food easy to take and certain to digest and which will not overtax the stomach. "I always find the results I look for when I prescribe Grape-Nuts. For ethal reasons please omit my name." Name given by mail by Postum Co., Battle Creek Mich. The reason for the wonderful amount of nutriment, and the easy digestion of Grape-Nuts is not hard to find. In the first place, the starchy part of the wheat and barley goes through various processes of cooking, to perfectly change the starch into Dextrose or Post Sugar, in which state it is ready to be easily absorbed by the blood. The parts in the wheat and barley which Nature can make use of for rebuilding brain and nerve centers are retained in this remarkable food, and thus the human body is supplied with the powerful strength producers so easily noticed after one has eaten Grape-Nuts each day for a week or 10 days.

One slice of veal from the leg cut half an inch thick. Wipe it, remove the bone, the tough membranes between the muscles and around the edge, and cut the fat in small pieces. Lay the meat on a hardwood board, scatter the fat over it, and pound it out very thin, lapping it over where broken, and pound the fat into the meat. Keep the meat in rectangular shape, with the edges even. Cover the meat with a thin layer of finely-shaved cold boiled ham. Chop fine two thin slices of fat salt pork, mix it with four butter crackers rolled fine, season highly with salt, pepper, lemon, onion juice, and, if you like, add a slight sprinkling of thyme. Moisten with hot water or real stock till it will hold together, add one well-beaten egg, and spread the mixture over the surface of the meat nearly to the edge. Roll the meat over tightly, and tie securely, leaving a little room for it to swell. Wrap a piece of cheesecloth round it, and tie it at the ends. Put it in a kettle with a trivet underneath; cover with boiling water; add one 'sliced onion, a half inch of bay leaf and one teaspoonful of mixed whole spice, also the bones and clean trimmings from the veal, and let it simmer three hours. Let it cool in the liquor until you can handle it; then remove it and put it in a brick loaf pin with another pan, weighted, on top of it. When ready to serve, remove the strings and cloth, trim off the edges, and if the whole is likely to be used, lay it on a platter and carve it in thin slices, but keep them together like a whole roll. Strew watercresses lightly around the edge, with overlapping slices of tomato on one end and a mound of whipped cream flavored with grated horse radish and lemon on the other end. Or slice only what will be needed, and arrange it on a platter with a garnish of cress and radishes. The veal will be delicious in sand- wiches. Shave it very thin, and sprinkle with horse radish, and put between buttered bread.—Mary J. Lincoln. HOME DRESSMAKING Here are a few hints which the home dressmaker will appreciate and which, some of them, the professional would do well to store away for use. To prevent the otherwise inevitable sagging of the circular skirt, hang it up by the binding, or better still, on the form, before the bottom is finished and allow it to remain for three or four days or even longer. Then trim it off to the desired length and evenness and you may rest secure in the fact that it will remain a "good hanging skirt." In sewing a lace frill on the stock don't attempt it German fashion, "over and over." It will stay "over" if you do. Hold it straight with the collar and run it on, then, even though closely gathered, it will stand up as it should. If sleeves are too long or too full, don't rip them out. First take a tuck or fold in the tops, making them the desired length, and baste. Try on, and if right, then cut off the superfluous material. Keep a tiny vial of powdered slippery elm in your work basket, and thrust the needle into it occasionally. It helps to make sewing a pleasure. Make a proper selection of needles. That is, do not attempt to make a coarse needle do fine work nor a very fine needle coarse thread. The roughness both ways—wrigly. Beyond and above these "white" remember to sit properly and to take a "breathing spell," if only a couple of minutes, whenever there is a feeling of exhaustion—Boston Budget and Beacon. Berry Pudding When blackberries appear make this berry pudding, which is a favorite one at the Boston cooking school: Beat one third of a cup of butter to a cream. Add gradually half a cup of sugar and the beaten yolks of two eggs. Sift together two cups of previously sifted flour, four level teaspoonfuls of baking powder and half a teaspoonful of salt. Add this to the creamed butter, sugar and eggs. Put in half of the flour mixture, mix and then put in half a cupful of cold water. Mix in the rest of the flour, etc. Beat thoroughly, and last of all told in the well-beaten whites of two eggs. Sprinkle a cupful of blackberries with a little flour, and add them to the batter as it is dropped, a spoonful at a time, into the mold, which should be rubbed with unsalted butter. Steam an hour and a half, or bake 25 minutes, and serve with a blackberry hard sauce. The sauce is made in the usual way, with half a cup of butter and a cup of sugar. Add to this half a cupful of crushed berries. Price of Health. Nature's price for health is regularity. We cannot safely bottle up sleep to-night for to-morrow night's use, nor force our stomachs at one meal because we expect to eat sparingly at the next, nor become exhausted in working day and night, expecting to make it up later. Nature does nothing before her appointed time, and any attempt to hurry her invariably means ultimate disaster. She takes note of all our transactions, physical, mental and moral, and places every item to our credit. There is no such thing as cheating nature. She may not present her bill on the day we violate her law, but if we overdraw our account at her bank and give her a mortgage on our minds and bodies, she will surely foreclose. She may lend us all we want to-day, but to-morrow, like Shyloc', she will demand the last ounce of flesh. Nature does not excuse mar for weakness, incompetence or ignorance. She demands that he be at the top of his condition. Crepe for Kimonas. Japanese crepes for kimonos and dressing sacks have cherry blossoms and dragons, quaint little Japanese maidens and butterflies in a confusion of gay colors, with a disregard of proportions and probability that is as attractive as the soft, crepy cotton stuff they are printed on. THE LAXATIVE OF KNOWN QUALITY plants, known to act most beneficially, in a pleasant syrup, in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to contribute their rich, yet delicate, fruity flavor. It is the remedy of all remedies to sweeten and refresh and cleanse the system gently and naturally, and to assist one in overcoming constipation and the many ills resulting therefrom. Its active principles and quality are known to physicians generally, and the remedy has therefore met with their approval, as well as with the favor of many millions of well informed persons who know of their own personal knowledge and from actual experience that it is a most excellent laxative remedy. We do not claim that it will cure all manner of ills, but recommend it for what it really represents, a laxative remedy of known quality and excellence, containing nothing of an objectionable or injurious character. There are two classes of purchasers; those who are informed as to the quality of what they buy and the reasons for the excellence of articles of exceptional merit, and who do not lack courage to go elsewhere when a dealer offers an imitation of any well known article; but, unfortunately, there are some people who do not know, and who allow themselves to be imposed upon. They cannot expect its beneficial effects if they do not get the genuine remedy. To the credit of the druggists of the United States be it said that nearly all of them value their reputation for professional integrity and the good will of their customers too highly to offer imitations of the manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., and in order to buy the genuine article and to get its beneficial effects, one has only to note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co—plainly printed on the front of every package.
