A Washington special says: The Postofice department scandal is rap- idly assuming more serious aspects. ‘The revelations made by Mr. Seymour W. Tulloch are startling in their char- ‘eter, involving In the scandal, in greater or less degree, former Post- master General Smith, former First Assistant Postmaster General Perry Heath, “Postmaster Merrit, of the Washington city postoffice and former Assistant Seerctary of the Treasury Vanderlip,, Some of inese men were probably Ted into doing things that were irregular and iNegal ‘without Anowing the true character of their actions, relying on the advice of others that the matters were perfectly regu- Jer, but Mr. Tulloch makes ic perfectly clear that when an investigation was set on foot by Comptroller of the Treasury Tracewell that would have brought out many of the irregulari- ties of the postal scrvice, and when an. efficient employee of the comp- troller’s offce began to uncover un- pleasant truths the whele matter was sudderty stopped and the employee of the comptroller’s office was trans- ferred to another bureau at 2 reduced salary. Tt will not do for the men involved in Mr. Tulloch’s revelations to at- tempt to discredit them on the ground that they came from a dismissed em- ployee. Such an attempt might have some effect outside of Washington, but it will have no weight with men who know Seymour W. Tulloch. The standing of the former cashier of the Washington postoffice in the business community of the elty is one that any man might be proud to have. He served for more than twenty years as cashlef of the postoffice under repub- liean and democratic administrations alike and never a breath of scandal was attached to the conduct of his of- fice. It was only when, about the time of the appointment of Mr. Merritt to be postmaster, an effort was made to secure his co-operation in certain ir- regularities in the Washington posts effice. that trouble began. Mr. Tulloch believed that if he made certain pay- ments as cashler either he or his ‘vondsmen might be held responsible. In order to protect himself and his bondsmen he made tho’simple request that he have written instructions from his superiors, It was then that he was found to be an “obstacle” and was re- rmored from office. BRITISH MONROE DOCTRINE. Lord Lansdowne Has Preclaimed One, as Regards Persian Gulf. A London dispatch says: Foreign Secretary Lansdowne has proclaimed a British Monroe doctrine in the Per- sian bulf ani has practically notified the competing powers that any at- tempt on their par- to establish a na- yal base or fortified post int those wat- ters means war with Great Britain, “I say without hesitation,” said the foreign secretary, dealing with the subject in the house of lords Tuesday evening “that we should regard the establishment of a naval base or a for- tiled port in the Persian gulf by any other power as a very grave menace to British interests, and we should cer- tainly resist it with all the means at our disposal.” Lerd Lansdowne preceded this ex- plicit enunciation of British policy by @ review of the situation there, as it affected British Interests, contending that so far as the navigation of the gulf was concerned, Great Britain held a position different from the others, bath because it was ‘owing to Britisn enterprise and expenditure of life and money that the gulf was now open to the commerce of the worid, and be- cause the protection of the sea route to India necessitated British predomi- nance in the gulf. J Lord Lansdowne’s attitude in this matter generclly meets with approval, although the answers thereto of the other powers interested in the gulf aro awaited, with some anxiety. The newspapers in London comment on the analogy of the present proceedings which Captain Mahan so strongly rec~ ommended to the United States policy of Monrocism. - The Wostminster Gazette holds that the British motive, namely, the “prd- tection of the sea route to Indie, cor- responds exactly with the American motive in excluding European powers from American waters wecause their territory is thereby threatened, CANE GROWERS GATHER Important*and Enthusiastic eon tlon Held in Macon—Officers Elected with Purse President, | Two hundred delegates to the Inter- state Cane Growers’ convention were called to order by Captain D, G, Purse Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock at the Academy of, Music in Macon, Ga.

Called to Order in Atlanta, Ga., With Delegates from All Sections eee The thirtieth annual mecting of the National Conference of @harities and Corrections began in Atlanta, Ga, Wednesday night, with delegates in attendance from all parts of the Uni- ted States. The opening session, upon which much was believed to depend, began in the First Baptist church with an car- nestness, a zest and a swing that has rarely been witnessed, and those At- lantans who attended, despite the in- clement weather, realized more fully than ever that the National Confer- ence of Charities ard Corrections is an organization of prominent ladies and gentlemen, who are banded to- gether in what is probably the miost in- fluential body of its kind in the ‘world. The delegates to the convention are persons of means, most of them of more than ordinary means, wko aro giving their time and thought and en- ergy to the uplifting of humanity, to the alleviating of distress, to giving the first offenders another chance, to keeping children out of prisons and penitentiarles, to caring for the sick and needy and infirm and aged—in brief, they are their brothers’ keepers, and are trying to do those things which they advise others to do. Some of the delegates are ex-gover- nors of their-states, others are ex: members of the supreme court, some are in charge of the very institutious whose Work will be discussed during the days of the convention, all are men and women of prominence—so clally, politically and commercially. A notable sentence was that whick emme from Hon, Robert W. de Forest during his address. It is almost the Keynote to the conference. Mr. de Forest is the vice president of the Jer- sey Central railroad, a man of busi- ness and affairs, who has foutid time to accept the position oz tenement ‘house commissioner of New Yorr elty and who was honored Jast year by ‘the National Conference of Charities ‘and Corrections with its highest of fice. On the rostrum, which was deco- ‘rated with potted plants, sat mazy | prominent men. 7 CHICKEN BONE WAS DEADLY. Wealthy Woman from Buffalo” Suc: ‘eumbs to Pecullar Accident. Mrs. F.

The bone becameslodged in her throat Tuesday at noon on a din- ing car. * MAY DAY STRIKES Put Stop to Many Industries in Various ‘Cities, MANY THOUSANDS ‘OUT Mammoth Walk-Out in New York Was Only Partially * Effected—De- mands are for Increase me « of Pay. . A New York dispatch says: The strike of mechanics and laborers which" was looked for Friday aid not material- ize to the extent thet had been antici pated, although a great many men, in- cluding 20,000 Italian excavaters, went on strike. An agreement reached at the last moment by the railroad officials and’ the marine engincers to submit their differences to arbitration put a stop’to the general tie-up of all freight steam- ers in the vicinity, The 20,000 Itafan exeavaters ana rock ‘men who are out ask $2.50 a day for all men experienced and tnexperl- enceil, while the contractors say they can pay this to experfenced men only. ‘The strikers paraded the streets, cach waving an American flag. This strike practically put a stop to work on the subway and also on excavations for new buildings. At Philadelpsia more than 7000 men in the building trades Went on strike. Tho action directly aftects 1000 addi- tional workmen, and should the strike continue 2 week building operaticns will cease and over 10,000 men will be rendered idle. The carpenters demand 50 cents an hour for an-clght hour day, the hoisting engincers ‘ask $18 for a week of fifty-four hours. - | At Chicaga 2,500 members of the Laundry Workers’ Union quit. work during the day, precipitating a famme of clean linen upon Chicago and its su- burbs. Chinese laundries, of which it is estimated there are many, are to be involved. ‘The employers have tesied a call for a meeting of every laundry proprietor in the city and suburbs and efforts are being made t6 ihduce the Mongolian washermen to stand by the landrymen’s association in its efforts to withstand the demands of the work- ers. The boller makers, ornamental and architectural housesmiths and station- ary hoisting engineers in Pittsburg and Allegheny, Pa. quit work, the em- Ployers having refuseé to concede their demands. Six hundred boiter- ‘makers and 400 helpers are idle. They demand $4 per day and eight hours’ work, an advance of 50 cents a day and a reduction from nine to eight hours a day. In the towns of Fayette City, Cahrerol, Belle Vernon, Mones- sen and onora, along the Monongahe- Ja valley, building has been almost en- tirely suspended by a strike of carpen- ters, brick layers, stone masons, plas- terers and hod carriers. ' At Omaha Neb, elghteen hundred men, including teamsters, hotel and restaurant employees and members of the building trades went on strike, and a number of sympathetic strikes are anticipated, which will bring the number out to 3,000. Hardly a wagon was to be seen on the streets and all the large restaurants were closed. | Hot in many years has the labar sit- uation In Boston, Mass., presented a more complicated aspect than it did ‘on May Day. The employees in nine trades at least had made demands, and 10,900 men were interested. In many cases, however partial settle- ment had been reached. A general strike of union workmen in the building trades at- Baltimore also went intq effect Friday morning. It is estimated that 4,000, men have quit work, including carpenters and afillated workmen. Several of the un- jons demand 2 readjustment of the wage scale and an eight-hour day, but the main Issue ts the unfon card sys- | lem, which will not admit of non-| uniouists working on .he same build- ‘Ing with union mqn. About $2,000, 000 of work now in progress will‘be affected by the strike. WAILES' CLAIM CONSIDERED. Asks Florida Legislature to pay $165,- = 7 000 as Commission.

Hanna is not 0 candidate for the republican nomma- tlon for president next year, In an in- lerview at Chicago Monday he con- cedes the dictinction to ’ President Roosevelt. He thinks there is much significance in the Clevesand revival at St. Louis! last week. “This Cleveland revival certainly looks significant, he said. “Do you' regard ofr. Cleveland as a aomocratic possibility 2” “Yes, I think he is.” “Does ft look to you as if he would get the nomination?” “One can’t tell this far ahead what a convention will do.” “Do you think a party would go on record for a third termer?", “it gnight.” “Do you think Mr. Cleveland eculd be elected?” 7 “Oh, that’s another thing.” “Your friends seem to be talking a great des] about the likellhood of your nomination.” “Oh, it Is only my foolish friends who are doing that.” “Then you wil] not be a candidate?” “No, I will not be. I shall not meet any of the political leaders here. I came only’ to attend the meeting of the civic federation.” _ Senator Hanna delivered an address to the students at the Armour Instl- tute and shook hands with hundreds of friends, who flocked to fhe hotel. MARCUM ASSASSINATED. Attorrey for Feudlst Faction in Ken- tucky Shot Dead on Court Houy: + §teps at Jackson, , Just after he had finished filing pa- pers, reopening the contested election cases of Breathitt county, Kentucky, Hon, James B. Marcum was shot and Ktiled by an unknown assassin. He fell in his tracks fn the front entrance of the court house at,Jackson, and never spoke, death being almost in- stantaneous. He fell within a few yards of where Town Marshal James Cockrell was shot down in July/ the assassin being stationed In the Court house in each instance. ‘Mareum was counsel for the fusion- ists, who are contesting for the offices of ,county judge, sheriff and other places now held by democrats. As a result of his efforts 2nd his sympathy with the Cockrell raction in the Hargis-Cockrell feud, he had for a year been generally regarded as 2 ‘marked man.” Varlons plots to assas- sinate him have been reported and sworn to by affidavits. For seveaty-two days Jast fall he was a prisoner in his own home, daring not even to go out an his porch. The bitterness of the teud somewhat abated, however, and the election cases were allowed to sleep until Monday. ‘ At 8 o'clock Monday morning he went to the court house at Jackson and thd papers were filed. He walked from the clerk’s office to the front door of the court house facing the strect and engaged in conversation witn Benja- ‘min Ewing, a friend. The corridor stretching out to his back was full of men. Ewing was half leaning on Mar- cum’s shoulder. The men had been talking about three minutes, and it was 8:30 o'clock when the shot rang out in the rear of the corridor, Mareum staggered and as he sank to the floor another shot was fired. The first bullet entered the back to the right of the spinal column end passing chrough the breast end body struck the door facing him. The next shot passed through the top of his head and was aimed as he reeled. The shots appeared to come from a doorway, or possikly from behind a door in the corridor. BURGLAR KINDLY TREATED.

Beloved Veteran Secretary of Georgia Executive Department Horribly Mangled by a Train. 1 eee | Major James W. Warren, secretary of the executive department of the state of Georgia, was run over and in- stantly killed by Georgia railroad train No. 1 trom Augusta at 1 o'clock Mon- day afternoon directly in front of his home in Kirkwood, a suburb of Atlau- ta. His body was horribly mangled by the train, it being necessary to pick up pieces of flesh for nearly a quarter of a mile from where the train first struck his body, . The accident was witnessed by Miss Hattle Warren, daughter of the major, who was standing on the front veranda of her home watching her father cross the tracks. She fainted at the sight, and it was necessary to summon a pity siefan to look after her. - Shortly after the noon hour Major Warren left his desk in the executive office of the capitol to go to his home in Kirkwood for dinner. He boarded a Decatur car and left it shortly before 1 o'clock directly opposite his home. ‘Two years ago the major suffered & stroke of paralysis that affected his leg, and ft was with gredt difficulty that he walked. * After. leaving the trolley car he began to walk slowly across the Georgia railroad tracks to his home, and had just entered upon the Georgia raiiréad main line when the fast train from Augusta dashed around the curve. Major Warren, so bystanders say, saw the train coming and made every effort to get out of the way, but stym- bled just before he ggt clear of the track, In another second the train was upon him, dragging his fecble body under it and carrying it for near- ly 2 quarter of a mile along the track before the train could be stopped. Both arms were severad from ‘the body. as was one leg, and the hedd was terribly mashed In. His brains were scattered along the track together with pieces of flesh. The sight that met the gaze of the trainmen and passengers who left the train—which was stopped as quickly as possible—was a horrible one. Many people in the ne?ghborhood witnessed the acefdent and rusked at once to the scene. : Miss Hattle Warren, his daughter, who always watched for him to leave the car and wall the short distance home at dinner and at night, saw the fast moving train strike her father.and fainted. The remains were picked up and sent into the city on the train. Peo- ple of Atlanta and of the surrounding country were shecked when they heard of the horrible death of Major Warren. Monday mcrning he was at the capl- tol, performing his regular duties. He was In an exceedingly cheerful mood and laughed and joked with his asso- clates. Several attaches of the executive de- partment remarked on the major's jo- vial humor. Only three weeks ago he returned from Florida, where he spent the winter with his two sons-who re- side in Tampa. He was yery much {m- proved in health und spirits and walk- ed better than since his stroke of par- alysis. Since January 12, 1872, Major War- ren has been a familier figure at the state capitol and was known and loved by every public man in Georgia, No man in the s.ate had more friends or fewer enemies than Major Warren. Everybody knew him and everybody loved him. The news of his death will be read with regret by every Georgian. There is hardly a public man perhaps bat that has been done favors.by the major. Every governor since the time of Governor Smith regarded Major Warren as the most competent secre- tary ever In the department, as he has been repeatedly reappointed by the dif- ferent governors. There have been changes in the ex- ecutive department, but through every administration Major Warren has been renamed, not because of political affil- lation, but because of his great ability’ us secretary of the department, Tears were shed by many of the capitol officials when they heard the sad news. Several of the old negroes who had worked for the major during his long period of service broke down and wept like children when they learned that he was no more. TRIPLE TRAGEDY IN TEXAS. Mother and Son Brained With Ax andl Father’s Head Shot Off. News reached Ennis, Texas, Sunday of a triple tragedy occurring at Bris. tol, an inland town 10 miles north of ‘Ennis. Mrs, Lineburger, a woman of about CO, and her son, Vestus,*22 years of age, were found dead, both having been chopped to pleces with an ax. The husbard end father, W. O. Line- burger, dged 70, was subsequently found on his farm ¢ miles north of Bristol, with his brains blown out with ‘a shotgun, * DEADLY EXPLOSION Occurs in Torpedo Factory in Cleveland, Ohio. CAUSED BY PLAYFUL GIRL In Frotig She Steps Upon Dangerovs Fulminate, Which Set Off Pow- der—Building Was Totally Wrecked. . An explosion disastrous in results, occurred at the plant of the Thor Manufacturing Company, in Cleveland, Ohio, Saturday afternoon, Three peo- plo were killed outright, while twenty- eight others are lying at hospitals, some fatally and others more or less seriously injured, “ - The Thor Manufacturing Company ts engaged in the manufacture of top torpedo canes and other explosives. A large stock of material was on band and extra girls were being employed. ‘The force of the explosicn was tre- mendous and windows within a radius cf a quarter of a mile were broken. In tho house on Orange strect, next to the factory,-lived Maurice Cohen, with bis wife.and eight children. With the collapse of the house stmultancous- ly with the/explosion, the woman and four children were caught in the fall- Ing partitions andjall horribly crushed. Mrs. Cohen dicd on the way to the hos- pital. 7 In the house directly in the rear were Mrs. Barney Quass and two boys. All three were badly injured. > ‘The fire originated in a pecullar menner. The torpedo caps are filled in molds, and there !s constant danger of some of the loase powder, supposed to be fulminate of mercury, dropping on the floor. For this reason tho girls and boys who are employed in the factory are compelled to remové thelr shoes while at work, so as to avold the danger of striking sparks. ‘The explosion was due to the frolic- somo propensities of a new girl who bsé been employed at the plant less than a week, The girls had their shoes on that the lunch hour*and one play- fully shoved another of the girls. As the girl slided along the floor her shocs struck a spark in some loose powder, Instantly the floor was ablaze. At this juncture a palater who was working onthe Brudno house, next door, glanced through the open win- dow and saw the fire. The girls did not seem to reallez their great danger and were trying to extinguish the flames. The painter however, realiz- ing what was stored in the building, yelled to the girls to run for their lives. There were ten girls, four boys and one man in the factory when the explosion occurred. All of these got out except Florence Lipstock, Willard Cole, son of one of the proprietors, and Arthur Conway, a 14-year-old boy. ‘The flames were oasily subdued by the firemen after the explosion, as there was nothing left of thé factory but a pile of debris. The fire fighters at once commenced the work of dig- ging in the ruins for the {mprisoned. LIVELY FIGHT IN CHURCH. Congregation of Slavs In Jollet, HIll- nols, Engage In Bloody Combat. ‘Women and men fought hand to hand with each other and then fought hard in hand against the police in the Slavonic Roman Catholic church at Jollet, Il, Sunday. The trouble was started by several women from some unkhown cause, as the collectors were circulating through the churtk. Thera were 2,000 men, women and children In the church when the’ fight began. The members fought with fists and pieces of furniture, knock!ng each oth- er right and left. Some one finally ran from the church. and called on the police for help. ‘ In a few minutes a patrol wagon full of policemen drove up to the church and the patrolmen entered the edifice; which was filled with whacks, thumps, din and tumult. Bloody noses and lac- erated faces were numerous. The mén had been penned in by @ cordon of an- gry women, who pelted the stronger sex with clenched hands and books. By the time the police had arrived some of the combatants had fied to the’street. As the police entered the church those on the outside returned to the fight armed with clubs, stones and revolvers. Those within left off fighting with each other and unitedly best the police. Those from without fired into the patrolmen from the rear, ‘Women and children cried out in ter- ror and many men ran from the church or leaped out of windows. Then the policemen drew revolvers and threat- ened to shoot unless order prevailed. Tho affrighted combatants ceased fighting and the policemen began to make arrests. Of all the persons In- fared, none had fo be taken to 4 hog pital --- The Supreme Court and The Negro. The five justices of the Supreme Court who dismissed the appeal brought to set aside the suffrage clauses of the Alabama constitution did not pass upon the validity of that constitution, but simply held that they had no power to grant relief. As Mr. Justice Holmes has as yet filed no opinion in explanation of this finding, it is impossible to tell for exactly what reason growing out of the particular case at bar this conclusion may have been reached. We can only rely upon verbal statements of members of the court. From these it appears that, while the majority declared that the court had no jurisdiction, yet they went on to discuss the merits of the case, and decided that, whatever wrongs inflicted on the negroes by depriving them of the ballot under cover of the Alabama constitution, these wrongs were political; that a remedy by a court of equity would mean judicial administration of the State government, and that if the remedy at law was not adequate relief must be sought at the hands Congress. There are other cases coming up which it is believed will bring the validity of the disfranchising and discriminating constitutions more directly to the issue and make more difficult evasions of the real question of negro rights under the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments. Possibly there will come from some one of them a vindication of the authority of the Constitution, and certainly it is to be hoped that the status of the negro will be settled as a matter of constitutional law, not as a matter of party politics. Somewhere, somehow, there must be a way of passing on the constitutionality of State laws which plainly nullify the spirit of the federal Constitution, and it is no more an assumption of the administrative functions of State government for the court to declare that State authorities cannot deprive negroes of a ballot on pretexts which do not exclude white men than it is for the court to. overrule any other action of a State or its officers. There is not the slightest question that the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments confer civil rights. They are not merely political declarations under which Congress acts at discretion, as in the matter of executing a treaty promise or annexing territory. The former has time and again been successfully invoked to secure citizens of the United States against misuse by State governments of their powers. Nobody attempts to deny that constitutions like that of Alabama are meant to deprive the Negroes of their rights as federal citizens without taking the same rights away from white men. Some Southern politicians say that they have been clever enough to do this indirectly, but it is a fundamental principal of law that what is forbidden directly cannot be done indirectly. Courts are supposed to go to the heart of questions, and not to be put off by transparent subterfuge. As the counsel for the appellants in the present case pertinently said in his brief: "To the Negro, if the guarantee of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments are stricken from under him, under the presence of want of jurisdiction in the courts of the United States to enforce the unlawful act of murder between him and actual slavery; that is the one contained in the Thirteenth Amendment. What reason would we have to hope for protection under that one, the Southern States by similar methods undertake to deprive him of this guarantee?" If a case cannot in some form be brought to the courts so that it will forbid discrimination in granting the franchise, it would seem, indeed, as if States might re-act the old black codes and indirectly enslave the Negroes without any redress left to them but the doubtful mercy of an appeal to the political branch of the government. We hope that some case will soon be brought forward under which the legal and not the political supremacy of the constitutional guarantees to the Negro will be tested. And we still have faith that the Supreme Court would firmly uphold those guarantees. Any other solution would be most unfortunate. Many of the Southern politicians have doubted the success of the discriminating schemes, and, if they were declared invalid, there would be general acquiescence, and probably suffrage limited by educational and property qualification operating equally; and that is all the best friends of the Negro ask. We are persuaded that the worst thing that could happen to the Negro would be the renewal of political agitation concerning his rights. It would stir up ill feeling and put back the progress of civilization many years. Yet, if the courts of- for no protection to his rights as plainly guaranteed by the Constitution, the almost inevitable result will be the turning of the Negroes toward Congress and the starting of movements by politicians for partisan ends to enforce the amendments by reduced Southern representation and other drastic laws. This would be unfortunate. Far better, for the country would be the quiet enforcement of the Constitution by judicial process, which would vindicate the American principle of equal laws, while leaving the intelligence of every State master of the political situation.—New York Tribune.

C. and Dr. D. J. Fitzgibbons of Philadelphia visited the college recently. Principal C. B. Scott of the Beach Institute spent a day at the college last week. He expressed himself as well pleased with the work done and made a practical and instructive talk to the students in chapel at noon. Visitors always welcome. First A. B. Church. The 5 o'clock prayer meeting, Sunday School, and other services were well attended Sunday. The church was aglow with anxiety to meet Dr. Carr who has made an extensive trip through California. Having conducted successful meetings in Los Angeles and Oakland, the doctor visited San Francisco and Riverside, preaching in both cities. His sermons were highly complimented and all were favorably impressed with the Georgia minister. The meetings conducted in Los Angeles for Dr. C. H. Anderson, of the Second Baptist church, resulted in thirty-seven accessions to the church. Each night the meeting was largely attended by whites and Negroes.

The services at the Union Baptist Church were grand, and we were not able to seat our people, the pastor preached at 10:30 a.m., the baptismal sermon.

"Put on the whole arm of God," subject "The Christian warfare of God." In his digression on military science and equipments, one would suppose that Dr Hadley had been a veteran of the "holy war" with "Capt Speedy" as commanding general, or that he was contemporaneous with the immortals, Pompey the Great, and Julius Caesar, or had led the conquest with Constantine the Great under the emblazoned Magna-Charta of the Cross of Christ. Rev G L Word, D D, reported from Luke 11:31. "Behold a greater than Solomon is here," subject "The higher elements of the mental and physical greatness" which demonstrated the masters efforts of a demonstrated the mastery of the theological erudition as well as the most effective in points of deliverance and forensic deductions.

Space will not permit a review of the many auspicious and helpful suggestions of the Bishop or of the astronomical observations of Dr Sims who responded to the Bishop's address in behalf of the union, as well as to the spontaneous remarks of the eloquent Dr C W Newton and others. It was almost impossible at times for the Bishop to proceed, from the continued outburst of applause. E Jonathan Nelson, Secretary. Items of Interest. News comes from D. H.

Don't Help and happiness surely awaits you if you accept Mrs. Pinkham's advice. Disease makes women nervous, irritable, and easily annoyed by children and household duties; such women need the counsel and help of a woman who understands the peculiar troubles of her sex; that woman is Mrs. Pinkham, who with her famous medicine, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, have restored more sick and discouraged women to health and happiness than any other one person. Her address is Lynn, Mass., and her advice is free. Write today, do not wait. Will not the volumes of letters from women who have been made strong by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound convince others of the virtues of this great medicine?

It will surely help you. Mrs. Emilie Seering, 174 St. Ann's Ave., New York City, writes: HAM:—If women who are always blue and depressed and nervous would take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound they would find it the medicine they need to bring them to a more cheerful frame of mind. I was terribly worried and downcast, and was thin and bloodless. My back ached all the time, no matter how hard I tried to forget lit or change my position to ease it, and the pain at the base of my brain was so bad that I sometimes thought that I would grow crazy; I had the blues so much and was always so depressed I could not seem to shake them off; half of the time I did not seem to have the courage to do my work; everything seemed to go wrong with me, and I was always worrying and fearing the worst. I began to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. After the first few doses a load seemed lifted from my shoulders, I felt better in every The blues left me and my head stopped aching; her too, and I looked younger and stronger.

Some Unfrequented Paths in the Districts Far From the Nile. Hundreds of European and American tourists, in pursuit or pleasure, now travel on the Nile, between Cairo and Assouan, every year; and, since the destruction of the Dervish power in the Soudan, Wady Halfa and Khartoum have attracted many visitors. Thus the valley of the Nile has become as well known as any part of Europe, yet, within a few miles of the river, on either side, lies what is practically an unknown land. The sandy waste seen from the river, beyond the belt of cultivation to the eastward, in no way represents the whole country between the Nile and the Red Sea. At Kench, in latitude 26 degrees north, the sandy zone, which forms the true desert, is but twenty miles wide, while in the littitude of Assouan it is fully 150. To the east of this, and bordering the coast of the Red Sen, is a cain of lofty and rugged mountains, fifty miles wide, several of whose peaks attain an altitude of 8,000 feet above the sea, and the watersheds is from 1,500 to 2,000 feet. It is in this belt of mountainous country that forms the gold mining district of Egypt. The most striking physical features of the country are usually dry water courses, known as "wadies." These take their rise in the mountains, and run down on either side of the Red Sea or to the Nile. In its upper part a wady usually resembles an ordinary torrent bed, but gradually develops into a long, flat, winding water course, with cliffs of rocks on other hand, sometimes 200 feet in height, and a bed of sand and pebbles, in which all the lithological constituentts of the neighborhood are represented. At times, during the copious rains which fall in the mountains in the spring and autumn, these wadies are converted into rushing rivers, which carve banks, and leave their marks on every side. Usually, however, they are only good, hard, sandy roads, with some small trees and plants, which form meagre, but useful, grazing for camels. Toward the Nile, on the west, and the Red Sea, on the east, the wadies gradually lose themselves in the sands of the lower districts, and probably little, if any, of the water which they bring down ever reaches the river or the sea on the surface. The crystalline rocks, which constitute the mountain districts to the east, are of the oldest geological series met with in Egypt. The larger mountain masses are usually formed of a hornblendic granite, with pink orthoclase, which gives the whole a strikingly red appearance when seen from a distance. Surrounding these, in the lower ranges, and covering very extensive areas, is a rather fine grained gray granite, passing in places into gneiss, and that into mica schist, traversed by dykes and intrusions of greenstones, felsite, propyryr, and a very fine grained white elvan granite. It is in these rocks that most of the auriferous quartz veins were found to occur, and the more the granite was cut up by the intrusive rocks the more frequent and more promising the quartz veins appeared to be—C.

A "White Star" Buggy FREE Women Made Strong and Happy Mothers. Catarrh of the Pelvic Organs is a Frequent Cause of Barrenness. Pe-ru-na Eradicates Catarrh From the System. I become a mother was regarded as the greatest of earthly calamities. To become a mother—more especially the mother of a strong, healthy boy—was the height of glory for the faithful woman of the good old litle days. Even now, when maternity is not esteemed as of yore, the mother of healthy children is an object of admiration, and sometimes envy, by her neighbors. As compared with ancient peoples, the average American woman has a low appreciation of motherhood. There are, however, a great many exceptions to this statement. The accompanying letters from grateful women who have been made strong, healthy and happy mothers need no added words of ours to make them convincing. Catarrh had weakened and impaired their entire systems. Peruna made them sound and well. Mrs. L. M. Griffith, Arco, Idaho, writes: "Your medicine did me a wonderful amount of good. It cured me of barrenness. I am 30 years old and never had any children; but since beginning your medicine I gave birth to a 18-month baby girl. She is now six months old and weighs 25 pounds. My friends were all surprised. Some would not believe it until they came to see me. "My husband says he never saw such a change in any one as there was in me after it had taken three or four bottles of Peruna. I am stronger than I have been since I was quite young. God bless you with your joy forever. I cannot tell you all. My letter is too long ally but I will say Peruna cured me. I never saw or heard of anything half so good. I can never thank you enough for your kindness. In cases of la gripe it works like a charm. It cured my baby when other medicines failed. She was real bad with la gripe."—Mrs. L. M Griffith. Mrs. E.
