4 BOON FOR SUFFERING WOMAN

If there are times in life that try mems
souls there are also times that try wo-
mems souls. AS woman's organization in
general is more delicate than mans, 80
she has special functions of far more
delicate character, which render her
much more liable to arrangement and
disease, and which require much more
skillful and careful treatment. No class
of diseases tests physician's skill or a
medicines efficacy more severely than
Female Diseases. No medicine has ever
proved more successful in the cure of
such diseases than Pe-ru-na. In that
most trying of periods, which every mid
dle-aged woman must pass through, Pc
ru-na has proved true boon to the sex.

VISUAL TELEGRAPHY.-The prob
lem of "visual telegraphy" is said to
have been solved by English invent
ors. The instrument is known as the
electro-pkonoscope, and is the joint
invention of Prof. Hughes, F. r. S.,
and Mr.. w. H. Preece, F. R. S., and
tue work was carried out by Mr..
Strob and Mr.. Martin Roberts. By
the use of this instrument the sender
Of a message from distant station
appears in person before his cores
pondent, and with a telephone it is
possible not only to speak to him, but
also see him and watch the expression
of his features. The instrument is a
perfect complement Of the telephone,
and probably illustrates what tele-
graphy is likely to be in the future.
Several eminent American electricians
have long been working on the diff
cult problem or visual telegraphy, and
this news may be somewhat surprising

Salvatore Great Feat at Monmouth
Park.


grand horse Salvador lowered the re-
cord by three and three-quarter Sec
onds, running the distance over a
straight track, with ITO pounds up, in
l:354. The fact that the trial was to
be made brought big crowd Of peo-
ele to the track, and it looked at one
time in the day as if they would be
disappointed, as it was announced, as
it was announced BY people who knew
the stable that Matt Byrnes would not
let Salyator start nnless Murphy could
ribe him. Murphy was under suspen-
sion for his actioni n the Firenzi race
on Tuesday, and his riding of Saliva
tor would mean his exoneration of all
charges. Matters were settled after
the second race when the executive
committee, after celebrating on Muir

til after the shecpshead Bay and

1t was not known by the public who
would have the mount on Salvador.
Then Bergen's name appeared, and at

who made Salvador the favorite, lay
ing to 2 against him, while s to S
was wagered that he would not break
the record. There was a big plunge
on Salvador, and his price fell to l to
3, while 2 to l was laid against time.
Some hooks stood 4 TO 5 over or un.
der l:s9, and did large business.
There was long delay after the
hory sounded, and when Salvador did
finally make his appearance, accom-
panied by Rosetta and Namona, the
pace makers, loud cheer went up.
Slowly they cantered up the straight
stretch, and in few minutes only a
cloud of dust marked their progress to
the starting, where Mr.. Caldwell and
hnlf dozen aids were awaiting them.

furlong past the post, leaving Rosetta
behind. Namona went off in front.
and was ten lengths past the starting
point before Salvador reached it, going
at hot pace. When the half mile
post was reached Salvador he'd dis.
tanced Namona, and was making ra.
pid strides after Rosetta, who had just
been started. Rosetta, who is very
speedy for five furlongs, ran under a
a pull, and was splendid pacemaker
for Salvador The people in the grand

in open-moathed amazement at the

there fell a hush on the spectators.
