read her proclamation. -
After waiting some little time they

two white bers of the legislature

SURPRISING FIGURES.
The Extent Of Advertising Done BY the
Lydia Il. pinkhan Medicine Company.

Some idea of the Importance of the
Lydia E.. Pinkham Medicine Co., as
Lynn enterprise, may bo estimated by
the amount of advertising which is
placed by them in the leading newspapers
of America. Advertising is in their
line one of the surest gauges by which
to judge the extent Of their business.
The newspaper advertising of this
famous concern is all placed through the
advertising agency of Pettingill & Co.,
Boston, and the writer recently learned
while in their Offices that eight tons of
electrotypes were shipped by them to
the newspapers in one day, all Of which
were advertisements of the Lydia Il.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Some idea of the extent of such adj
vertising can be formed when one con-
siders the fact that 5-inch electrotype
weighs but few ounces, and that eight
tons consists of $4,000 ounces, or an
amount sufficient to furnish all the
leading publications of America with
more than five electrotypes each.
AS Lynn enterprise the Pinkham
Medicine Co. stands in the front rank.

FOOTBALL GLADlAToRs.
Legisl ators Told that They Kick the Ball
When They Cannot Kick Each Other.


Boston, Mass, February 2S.--Mr. Dan
iel A. Buckley of Cambridge addressed
the committee on judiciary at the State
House this forenoon, in behalf of his
bill to prohibit the game of football in
cases where an admission fee is charged,
and for other restrictions on the game.
Mr.. Buckley said that he should not
have much hope for his bill were it not
for the fact that president Eliot had re-
Gently taken a manful stand against the
brutalities of the game, and, he added,
Il myself only come here as an humble
citizen. to do my duty, believing that
there should be law which will protect
our children when we send them to col
lege. There should be stop to such
brutal exhibitions as are witnessed at
college contests. The game is nothing
but brutal smuggling of the worst sort.
There may be method of playing the
game, but the spectator cannot see what
it is, if there is one. The promoters of
the game today are just as bad as the
Romans of old, who kept trained gladi-
ators for hire. We have got enough of
the brutal in us anyway; don't let our
colleges encourage it," Mr.. Buckley
read numerous extracts from newspapers
condemning the game, and included one
which said, in speaking of football. I'm
the old game you kicked the ball; in the
Rugby game you kick man if you can
not kick the ball, but in the modern
American game you kick the ball if you
cannot kick a man, No one opposed
the bill, and the hearing closed.

sparring ever seen in Boston before a
good sized crowd at the Casino tonight.

the referee, Jimmy Colville, declared the
contest a draw. Creedon was seconded
by Billy Delaney, Tom Tracey and

The Attempt to Prove that 1t Was Not
Young Thorne Who Did the Killing.

Paris, Me-, February 27.-The forenoon

tional. The question now is, Is the bullet

there been an exchange to fasten the
crime on the weak minded boy? DR..

assisted at the autopsy and searched five

of the tragedy were offered by the
state to be proved the property of

During the afternoon the defense made

premises and never arrested him under
any warrant. He had second revolver

The Iron Hall.

Philadelphia, February 27.-Geo-gc
Tucker Bispham. of this city, master
in the suits of several persons against
the supreme sitting of the order of the
Iron Hall, has filed report upon the
claim of the Indiana receiver to have
funds in Pennsylvania turned over to him
for general distri button. Mr.. Bispham re-
ports against tine claim. He briefly &C.
counts the objects of the order and says
that the only incorporated body in it is
the supreme sitting in Indianapolis. The
local branches in twenty four different
states are not incorporated. The funds
held by George S.Graham, the receiver
appointed in this state, and which the
Indiana receiver claimed consists. with
some exceptions, of reserve funds. which
arose under provision of the laws OF
the supreme sitting, requiring 20 per
cent of each assessment to be set aside
by the branch organizations as reserve
fund under the control of and to be con-
sidered the property of the supreme
sitting. Mr.. Bispham says that the
weight of circumstances and hardship
upon citizens to prove claims in Indiana
and the double charge placed on assets
by taking them. from their, present
jurisdiction to another, should justify
the court here in retaining control of
them and ordering their distribution.
