PosTAL TELReRAPH.

The President of she Western Union
 Telegraph Company Before the
 House Committee on P0sf0Aaces and
 POssroads-Hts Views on the BIll
 Proposed by she Postmaster General.
 WASHINGTON, May 20.-Dr. Norvin Green, president of the Western Union Telegraph company, was in the room of the house eom- mittee on postoffices and postroads to day for the purpose of giving his views on the revised and amended bill proposed by the postmaster general on this subject of a limit ed postal telegraph. Barely quorum of the committee, however, was in attendance, and at Dr. Greens request to speak before full committee, the hearing was postponed until some future time. At the request of Chair man Bingham Dr. Green answered informal. iy several questions in regard to the bill After referring to the great differences in the rates of the Western Union and those pro- posed in the bill, he said those rates upon their face meant absolute loss .o any com- pany doing husiness under them. The Vest ern Union could not afford to accept those rates. There was no business that could stand such a reduction in its- charges. Even Tn the case of telephone companies. he said, reduction of 40 per cent. in rates would close every exchange in the country, and many would have to close business at re. duction of 25 per cent. Dr. Green gave list of companies in exists ence and said agreements to main- tain rates was necessary to pre- vent companies from wasteful competi- tion. Referring to the relative rates for the government and the public, Dr. Green said he had made an account of the business from one city for three months. This show- cd that the rates to the public were just about twice as much as to the government during last year and for some years past, and about four times as much as the rate fixed by the postmaster general for the government on the SOth of October last for the present fiscal year. pr. Green said although the governnient operated the tele- graph in Europe yet it never started one in competition with it's own citizeus. There had been number of outrageous mis. representations made which he would answer and on which he desired to produce record evidAnca

The reason why woman is afraid of mouse is profound mystery-indeed, it has never been very clearly proven that she is. But some women are constantly, in such a nervous irritable condition that the slightest thing annoys and startles them. The cause of this unfortunate state of affairs is usually some functional derangement; some distress ing or painful irregularity, some derange- ment or peculiar weakness incident to her sex; or, it may be due to inflammation, ul- ceraton or displacement. of some of the pelvic viscera, or to other organic lesions peculiar to her sex. From whichever cause it may arise, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip- tion is a poSittUe remedy, so certain in it's curative results that it's manufacturers sell it, through druggists, under a g,ldrdiitee of it's giving satisfaction in every case, or money, paid for it will be promptIy re neryine, Favorite Prescription is une- qualed and is invaluable in allaying and sub duing nervous excitability, irritability, ex- haustion. prostration, hysteria, spasms ,aI1 and monly attendant upon functional and organic disease of the womb. It induces refreshing sleep and relieves mental anxiety and de- spondency.
