WOMAN'S WORDS TO WOMEN
Certainly the Most Unusual
That Ever Were Penned.
MRS. HENDERSON OF PORT CHESTER
She Graphically Tells OF Her Troubles,
Her struggles and Her Triumphs.

One Of the most wonderful letters
ever written is that which follows. Any
one who reads 1t is certain 10 be alb
sorbingly interested. IL is from Mrs. j.
Henderson, Of Port Chester, N. Y. She
says:
''I am woman and wish to speak
frankly and freely TO women. There
are thousands of young girls, middle
aged, and even elderly ladies today in
the greatest danger and they do not
know it. They are standing upon the
brink of precipice and do not realize
it. IL is in the hope that the wonderful
experience through which have passed
may be a blessing and warning TO
them, that causes me to write it,
"About two years ago, it being the
change of life with me, was treated
by three of the best physicians in this
place. At first 1 was treated for bron-
chitis, growing worse all the time,
coughing constantly, until my voice
was only a whisper. My head panied

NOTHING BUT RUINS.
Damage Done by the Southern Cyclone
Is Worse Than Reported.

Is Worse Than Reported.
KELLY, Miss, March 25.-The damage
done by the cyclone was worse than at
first reported. Kelly was small town Of
about 80 houses, of which II or Is were en-
tirely swept away, and there is nothing TO
show that there was ever a residence there
except by the mass OF debris, which Is
scattered in all direc tions.
There Is not n house left standing within
the scope of the cyclone, which ranged
from a quarter 20 half a mile In width
southwest of Kelly. The trees were
moved down and uprooted. A colored
man named Payne was crushed to death
under his cabin. His wife was crippled
and internally injured: his s-year-old girls
head was crushed in and she will die, and
three other children were injured Harriet
Smith, also colored, was killed, and Chris
Burford will probably die. Eph McLaugh-
lin and the latter's young son were also
badly injured.
All the negro plantation houses west OF
Kelly were blown away and IL is said that
many OF these people have been killed
Three schoolhouses were blown down.
East OF Kelly the storm struck the
Memphis and Charleston railroad and
wrecked freight train near Germantown.
Around Kelly 500 people are homeless and
are i'm need The track Of the cyclone was
half mile wide and its duration in Kelly
was only four minutes.

life, felt despondent, and yet could not
understand the reason. did not suffer
acute pain, but felt constant misery.
Finally my body began to bloat terribly,
accompanied with pain. At this time a
further examination on the part of the
doctors revealed the terrible fact that
was suffering from Bright's disease of
the kidneys and in its most aggravated
form. The doctor was urged TO do all
he could for me. He visited me several
times daily and finally said to my hus-
band Il might as well tell you plainly
that your wife will not live the day out.
At that time my condition was fearful.
NY right side was paraly zed, my face
distorted, and my tongue stiffened so
that / could not speak. 1t was while in
this deplorable condition that my hus-
band, who had been my constant attend
ant and nurse, resolved If lived until
daylight to try remedy of which we
had heard much, but concerning which
we knew but little. Ifelt the effects if it
at once. The tone Of my stomach restored
so that / could retain the nourishment
given me. / continued to improve, the
paralysis left me, the bloating ceased,
my strength returned, and / am well

Warmers Safe Cure, which took me
from condition of hopeless misery and
restored me TO health and happiness.
Since my recovery, over which feel
so rejoiced, have had opportunities to
see much Of the effects of this wonder
full Safe Cure, in many of my friends
and acquaintances. l know there are
many women who do not realize their
danger even at all conditions of life.
The young women is in peril even when
on the threshold of womanhood. The
wife has legion of dangers. threaten
ing TO overcome her a. any time. The
mother is beset by peril, as a horde of
troubles consequent upon maternity
continually menace her. When, after
passing through all these dangers. a
woman arrives at the time when change
of life occurs, she is again beset by the
severest of all trials, and, indeed,
through all her life a woman needs a
friend upon which she can lean, on
which she can depend. L believe that
friend, the best friend known TO
woman, is Warmers Safe Cure. know
little concerning it except what it has
done for me and what have seen it has
done for others, but / do know that il
saved my life, that it has made me
happy, and that wherever it has been
used have seen the same grand, bene-
ticial results.
- make the above statement frankly
and freely, and from a desire that
others may be benefited as have been.
If suffering, and the danger which sur
rounds every woman's life can be
avoided, or even softened, the happi-
ness of life can be increased and the
world made vastly better"

THE SEALING QUESTION.
This Country May Find That Arbi-

CONTENTION BY UNCLE SAM.
The Control of Seal Fisheries in Behring
Sea Claimed by this Government
Apprehension that the Government
Has Been Over Reached.

WAsHIScToY. March 25.--Although the
Behring sea commission, which met In
Paris Thursday and adjourned TO April 4,
was arranged by the late administration,
the present authorities are watching the
proceedings with great interest. AS the
questions involve international mat
tiers with which this administration
will have TO deal, and in which other ma
tions are interested, President Cleveland
and Secretary Gresham are keeping them.
selves fully advised Of the progress OF
affairs. All the commissioners are now
present
The American Side
is represented by the ablest talent In
diplomacy and Jurisprudence which the
country affords, and will be met by a sim
liar array Of experience and ability on the
part of England and Canada as well as by
nations acting as umpres.
The contention on the part of the United
States, as Is known, involves the right Of
this government to control and regulate
the seal fisheries in Behring sea, whether
considered as an open or closed sea, and
also the extent of the ceded privileges to
the United States by Russia and the right
of property in the seals, and the right of
protection TO the seals, whether within or
without the three-mile limit Of the Pribilof
islands
There Is Some Apprehension
that the United States has been over
reached in the method Of the proposed set
Element. There are those who believe that
this government will be mulcted TO a very
large sum when the final settlement is
reached
This Is not the first time that England
and her dependency, Canada, has fleeced
us out Of a large sum for worthless fran
chises, as under the treaty of Washington.
In that case this government paid $500
600 gold TO Canada for what was proven
afterward To be worth less than 100000
The method by which it was brought
about was similar to that adopted in the
present arbitration. The danger lies in
the damages which may be awarded to
Canadian fishermen who have been resort
ing to Behring sea and engaging in seal
fisheries with that end in view.

THE "PLUMED KNIGHT.

Mr.. Blaine has heen called "the
plumed knight" for so many years
that many have forgotten the cir.
cumstances under which tho phrase
was applied to him. AT the Repub-
hcan Convention in 1876 Robert G.
lngersoll nominated Mr.. Blaine for
the Presidency in aspeech that con-
tanned these ringing words "Like
an armed warrior, like q plumed
knight, James G. Blaine marched
down the halls of tho American
Congress, and threw his shining
lance full and fair against the bra
zen forcheads Of the defamers of his
country and the maligncrs of his
honor" In the course of his speech
the orator said /: "Tho Repu blicans
OF the United States demand man

sumption, when they como, must
como together; that when they come
they will come hand in hand through

The majority report Of the House
Judiciary committee, which inves-
tigated the Homestead labor trou-
bles, has attracted vide attention.
It was written by Representative
Boatner, OF Louisiana, who says
therein that he finds nothing in the
Constitution which authorizes Con-
gress to interfere with, regulate, or
prohibit the employment Of Pinker-
ton or other detectives, by persons
or corporations, except so far as
they may be engaged in interstate
commerce, "was beyound Federal
or Congressional jurisdiction. To
permit interference by the Federal
authorities, without demand Of tho
States, or to make laws which would
control or effect the relations OF

would be to undermine she just
authority Of the States and to inter
pose Federal authority upon q sub.
ioct Of which the States have, and
