Friends of Edward Rochie Hardy, librarian of the New England Insurance Library, are congratulating him on his appointment to a responsible position in the New York Insurance Exchange. He graduated from Boston University in 1892, and since that has been prominent in the insurance world. His recent "History of Fire Insurance" proved a great success. Exportation of Coal from India. Exportation of Coal from India. India is rapidly becoming an important factor in the coal market. The output last year was nearly 40 per cent in excess of that of the year before, and a still further increase will be seen this year. Exportation of coal from India has already begun. The coal is found over wide areas and the growing shortage in England may be relieved by the expansion of the mining industry in India and the United States may find that country a serious competitor.

His father, John Nicholson, a gunsmith, made the first firelocks for the Pennsylvania committee of safety, and later worked under contract for the Continental congress. INDIAN MISSIONARY'S STORY. Years of Tollsome Ministry Among the Choctaws. Little York, Ind., April 1.—(Special). —Twenty-five years ago the Rev. C. H. Thompson left Indiana. For a time he preached in Arkansas, afterwards entering on the regular missionary work among the Choctaw Indians. For five years he lived and labored among the full bloods of the western prairies; until on April 5th, 1885, having lost his wife, he left the circuit on which he had preached so long, and commenced traveling missionary work among the Indians of the various tribes scattered in the west. This irregular work involved a great deal of travel over the prairies. The drinking of so much alkali water, brought on kidney troubles which terminated in Diabetes. Finally, while laboring among the Creek Indians at Wagoner, Indian Territory, this noble man was stricken down completely. A Chicago specialist was summoned, and after a careful examination declared that there was not the slightest chance of his recovery. Besides the prescriptions of the doctors he tried many other medicines, but all to no avail. He says: "I had concluded that my days were drawing to a close, when I picked up an almanac telling of the cures of Diabetes by the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills. I sent for two boxes. I gained strength and spirits from the time I commenced to use them, and so I sent for more. I am now completely cured, and have not the slightest symptom of my old trouble. "I am 68 years of age. I tell everybody of the wonders Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for me. I can certainly endorse them heartily, and vouch that they are all that is claimed for them They have certainly been a God-send to me." Dodd's Kidney Pills are the only Remedy that has ever cured Bright's Disease, Diabetes or Dropsy and they never fail. It takes a wasp to make a lazy man get a move on himself.

CONGRESSMAN BOTKI The Well-Known Kansas Statesman, Cured of Catarrh of the Stomach by Pe-ru-na. AFTER TWENTY-FIVE YEARS' SUFFERING More Evidence of Interest to the Millions of Catam Sufferers in the United States. HON. J. D. BOTKIN, CONGRESSMAN-AT-LARGE FROM KANSAS. In a recent letter to Dr. Hartman, Congressman Botkin, of Winfield, whose fame is a national one, says of Peruna: My Dear Doctor—"It gives me pleasure to certify to the excellent cure qualities of your medicines—Peruna and Manalin. I have been afflicted or less for a quarter of a century with catarrh of the stomach and constipation. A residence in Washington has increased these troubles. A few bottles of medicine have given me almost complete relief, and I am sure that a condition of them will effect a permanent cure. Peruna is surely a wonderful edy for catarrhal affections."—J. D. Botkin, Congressman-at-Large. the most influential and best known men in the State of Kansas. Whatever he may say on any subject will be accepted by the people as the truth. So famous a remedy as Peruna could not have well escaped the attention of so famous a man. He not only has heard of the remedy, but he used it and was relieved of an affliction of twenty-five years' standing. Peruna is the one internal remedy that cures chronic catarrh. It cures catarrh wherever located. This is a fact that the people are rapidly finding out, but there are still a large multitude who need to know it. Mr. Frank Richter, of Winona, Minn., says in a letter to The Peruna Medicine Company: "As a remedy for catarrh I take pleasure in recommending Peruna for catarrh of the stomach. I know what it is to be afflicted with this awful disease and consider it my duty to say a word in behalf of the remedy which gave me such relief. Peruna cured me, and I know it will cure any one else who suffers from this disease. It gives me great pleasure to testify to the curative effects of this medicine. Peruna is a well tested and frequently used remedy, and for catarrh of the stomach it is unsurpassed. "My catarrh was principally located in my head and stomach. I tried many remedies without success. I tried several doctors but they were unable to cure me. I read of Peruna in the papers and five bottles cured me."—Frank Richter. The gastric juice is secreted by the mucous follicles of the stomach. When this juice is normal it digests (dissolves) the food without producing any disturbance whatever. If, however, the gastric juice is not normal, digestion causes many disagreeable symptoms. This condition is known as indigestion. Professional Criminals Increasing Crimes and criminals, as shown by statistics, are decreasing in number. But while crime in general is thus on the decrease, the class of professional criminals is on the increase and is becoming a more and more serious public menace. Work of Visiting Nurses. The Visiting Nurses' Association of Chicago during the month of February cared for 836 patients and 3,528 visits were made. Free service was rendered in every case. The association is supported by voluntary contributions of charitable persons. It's only natural for the crank to find life a grind. Origin of Name "Chicago." The late Edward G. Mason, of Chicago, who devoted much time, research and labor to gathering materials for a history of Illinois that he purposed writing, came to the conclusion that the name Chicago was derived from "Checagou," a place visited by former companions of La Salle in 1687. One of the visiting Frenchmen recorded that it took that name from the quantity of garlic that grew in the woods there.—Philadelphia Telegraph. Mrs. Selina Tanner. Athena writes: "I cannot words to es I words to en my thanks your kind and I never I thought I ha tarrh of the mach. I menced in Peruna as directed. My mach cont to hurt m about two after I began medicine I then it stop now have a appetite w before I nearly start Mrs. Selina Tanner. Mr. L. O. Marble, of Geneva, writes: "I do believe that my catarrh tirely cured. I have not had any t with my stomach for a long time, as well as one of my age could (seventy years). I have had the tarrh ever since I was a young and have doctored for it for year got very little better, but thanks and your Peruna and Manalin I I am well of it. I can eat anything and it doesn't hurt me, and Pera the only thing I have ever found will cure the catarrh. I believe it only cure for catarrh, and I hope one troubled with catarrh will runa and be cured."—L. O.

A woman is sick—some disease peculiar to her sex is fast developing in her system. She goes to her family physician and tells him a story, but not the whole story. She holds back something, loses her head, becomes agitated, forgets what she wants to say, and finally conceals what she ought to have told, and this completely mystifies the doctor. Is it a wonder, therefore, that the doctor fails to cure the disease? Still we cannot blame the woman, for it is very embarrassing to detail some of the symptoms of her suffering, even to her family physician. This is the reason why hundreds of thousands of women are now in correspondence with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. To her they can give every symptom, so that when she is ready to advise them she is in possession of more facts from her correspondence with the patient than the physician can possibly obtain through a personal interview. Following we publish a letter from a woman showing the result of a correspondence with Mrs. Pinkham. All such letters are considered absolutely confidential by Mrs. Pinkham, and are never published in any way or manner without the consent in writing of the patient; but hundreds of women are so grateful for the health which Mrs. Pinkham and her medicine have been able to restore to them that they not only consent to publishing their letters, but write asking that this be done in order that other women who suffer may be benefited by their experience. Mrs. Ella Rice, Chelsea, Wis., writes; AM:—For two years I was troubled with falling womb. I suffered very much with bearing-down the, and was not able to do anything.

REWARD Owing to the fact that some skeptical people have from time to time questioned the genuineness of the testimonial letters "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—For two years I was troubled with falling and inflammation of the womb. I suffered very much with bearing-down pains, headache, backache, and was not able to do anything. What I endured no one knows but those who have suffered as I did. I could hardly drag myself across the floor. I doctored with the physicians of this town for three months and grew worse instead of better. My husband and friends wished me to write to you, but I had no faith in patent medicines. At last I became so bad that I concluded to ask your advice. I received an answer at once advising me to take your Vegetable Compound, and I did so. Before I had taken two bottles I felt better, and after I had taken five bottles there was no happier woman on earth, for I was well again. I know that your Vegetable Compound cured me, and I wish and advise every woman who suffers as I did to try Lyda E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

Pelkin, April 3.—The ministers of the powers met to consider the resolutions of the special committee for the reformation of the Tsung L. Yaman and the court ceremonials, it was decided that the Tsung L. Yaman should hereafter consist of one prince and two appointed ministers who should be responsible to the world for the behavior of China. The court ceremonials will be organized on western lines, making due allowance for oriental ideas and prejudices. About 7,000 Germans whose time of service in the army will shortly expire are to be returned home as soon as transports are available. It is not expected that their places will be filled. The indemnity committee is not yet ready to report, but it is generally conceded that the demand will be immense. Mr. Rockhill, acting on instructions from Washington has sent a letter to the ministers of the powers asserting that in the event of the amount being larger than China could possibly afford without the disruption of the empire, the ministers should agree to reduce their demands in proportion to the losses and expenses of their respective countries, and that in event of being unable to agree the matter should be left to the arbitration of The Hague tribunal. Bishop Favier denies utterly the accounts published in Europe and America that he conducted an immense loot sale. The bishop says he never looted in his life. After the siege many presents were made to him by rich people and he ordered them to be sold in behalf of the native Catholics. Probably some of the things, at the time of the general loot, may have been acquired that way by the donors, but not to his knowledge. It is claimed here, on reliable authority, that China has asked Russia to allow her a further extension of time before deciding the question of signing the Manchurian agreement. Both M. De Giers and the Chinese officials refuse to talk on the subject.

Washington, April 1.—The war department has sent to General MacArthur commanding the military forces in the Philippines an acknowledgement of the latter message regarding the capture of Aguinaldo by General Funston.
