voker of energy. For centuries the
kola nut has been used by natives of

harmless sustainer Of labor, pre-
venter of fatigue and general pre-
server of health. Modern research
has shown that the nut has wonder
| full and certain effects upon the
nerves, brain, blood and muscles.
DR.. CharcOt. the most eminent spec
ialist of the day in nervous diseases,
has prepared a prescription after
studious research and careful expert
ment. His belief in kola is endorsed
by DIR. Shoemaker, of Philadelphia;
DIR. Gihon, of the United States NAVY,
Drs. Monnet Heckel aud Du Bots. OF
France; DIR. Manuassein, of Bussia,
DR.. Schlagdeuhauffen, of Germany.
and many others equally reliable and

DR.. Charcot's kola Nervine Tab
lets are compounded upon the great
prescription and from freshly i'm
ported, undried kola nuts.
They are sure specific in all cases
OF nervous debility, neuralgia, ner.
vous dyspepsia. exhaustion. improv-
erished blood and melancholia.
They renew the body's vigor and pre-
vent undue fatigue. They are an
| absolute boon to those cursed with
sleeplessness, restlessness and I'M
natural lassitude and fatigue. They
are both speedy and eifectual and
wherever they have been introduced
have leaped at once into lasting pub
lie favor.

Philadelphia Times Thinks Smiths Char
acter Not Worth S45, 1000.

PHILADELPHIA, April 19-The Times
today ediLorialIy said: The verdict of
$4,000 rendered yesterday in Judge
Glddon's court by the jury in the libel
case brought against the Times and lis
publishers, and editor, by ex-Mayor
William 3. Smith, is simply startling
climax IN the perversion of justice in its
own sanctuary, and it will certainly be SO
regarded, not only by the entire press of
the state and country. but by every CON
siderate and fair minded citizen.
Had Mr. Smith been man of the
cleanest reputation, of the highest char
acter and stainless in all his records as a
public official and citizen, a fair minded
court and jury upon fair trial, with no
semblance of truth in the libel COM
planned of, might have allowed a verdict
of five or ten thousand dollars.
But a verdict of $4,000 rendered in
favor of man who, in the highest Off
cial position he held in the city, was i'm
peached for the appropriation of public
funds, and in an official military position
was dismissed from the service for mis-
appropriation of military funds. and
whose subsequent reputation as a bust
ness man did not inspire general conf
dence, could not be explained in any
other way than by a startling climax in

The Chicago Audubon Society.

The up to date woman may have po-
litical bees in her Sunday bonnet if she
likes, but the Chicago Audubon society
insists she shall not indulge in dead
birds. This fashionable adornment is
emphatically declared to be thoughtless
cruelty. In a word, the object of this
comparatively new and unique organi-
zation of men and women is the protec-
ton of birds. To this end monthly
meeting is held at the Athen@um.
So extensive has become the killing
of birds for feminine fashion that the
subject is attracting widespread atten-
ton among ornithologists. The Chicago
Audubon society, however, claims to be
the only organization formed for the
condemnation Of the use of birds for
millinery purposes.
At the regular meeting held yester-
day afternoon the Rev. George Pratt
read a paper on Amateur Ornithol-
ogy," followed by musical numbers.
The audience was made up mostly Of
women who practice what they preach
by not wearing birds in their bonnets,
though they indulge in ostrich plumes
on the plea that this does not necessitate
the killing of the bird.
There are 1000, 600 birds slaugh
tered annually in the name of fashion, "
said Mrs. E. Irene Rood, president of
the society. GAS an organization we
propose to be instrumental in the pro-
lection of birds and in time introduce
such bills in the Legislature. At present
we are much interested in the bill now
pending which relates to the game laws
of Illinois.
1.-The Chicago Audubon society is,
believe, the only organization of the
kind in the United States" she con-
tinued. There was one in New York,
but it has disbanded. "
The society numbers Al members and
was organized several months ago.

MEXICAN MISSION VACANT.
Matt Ransom Was Ineligible Under the
Law When Appointed.

WASHINGTON. April 18-Accor ding to
some constitutional experts ex-senator
Ransom is not Minister to Mexico. They
say the mission is vacant because the
constitution has been violated. Article
i, section 6. clause 2, is the portion re-
ferred to, which reads:
No senator or representative shall,
during the time for which he was elect
ed, be appointed to any civil office under
the authority of the United States which
shall have been created or the emoIu-
ments whereof shall have been increased
during such time.
The salary of the minister to Mexico
was increased from $4,000 to $17.5OO by
provision in the diplomatic and consul
lar appropriation bill passed in the second
session of the fifty-tirst congress- MIR.
Ransom was present in the senate at the
time the bill was agreed to and made no
objection. Hence it is claimed he is

The Girls of Today.

That the American girl is making
rapid strides in the direction of higher
degree of physical perfection is shown
by the work going on in the gymnasi-
unls of schools and colleges devoted to
her education and in the outside clubs
organized for athletic purposes. Every
form of athletic culture is now enthusi-
astically practiced by young women.
They are riding with the hounds, they
are on the tennis courts, they are fenc-
ing and bowling, they are riding horse
back and bicycles, they are rowing boats
and sailing yachts, and they are the adj
1niring patrons of dog kennels and horse
shows. They have not invaded the prize
ring because they are not brutes. Very
few of them have organized with ball
clubs or football teams, for there is q
point where womanly dignity must stop,
though one of the leading agitators for
female physical culture in England is a
jealous advocate of football as lady
like accomplishments.
In all this there is great hope for the
new woman. The girls of today are like
" to become the new women OF the new
century. If they expect to hold their
own on terms of anything like equality
with men a high degree of physical
health and strength will be one of their
chief requisites. But whether they do or
not physical culture will not be draw
back. Clear heads, sound lungs, strong
limbs and forms after the Venus de Milo
order will add to their attractiveness as
we'll as to their happiness As it is
probable populating the earth never will
90 out of fashion, it will be q gain all
round if the coming generations are not
handicapped in the race by the physical
misfortune of heredity. Chicago Trib-

DR.. Parkhurst's Views on Woman.

The greatest thing woman can do is
to do the thing that she was specif-
icaliy endowed and ordained to do, and
that is to bear children and train them
for the uses and service of the world
they are born into, and only such wom-
en- as are morally or intellectually in
competent to appreciate the full denote
ment of this, or who have greater ambi-
ton for aggressiveness or cOnspicuity
than they have for fulfilling their mis-
sion, will be inclined to resent this state
ment of the case as an indignity, writes
the Rev Charles II. Parkhurst, D. D.,
in Ladies' Home Journal.
I have yet to be convinced that any
very considerable number Of these are
disposed to resist natures intentions for
them, but the actuating impulse of
those who do is doubtless a passion for
some sort of celebrity and an impa-
thence at the seclusion and the restraints
which femininity, SO construed, i'm
poses upon them. They are not content
to be known only in their children, and
that is one great reason why their chill
dren are so little known. If JOchebed
had had her head full of theories about
an enlarged sphere for women and had
gone about Egypt stumping for female
enfranchisement, the little hero of the
bulrushes would probably have shared
the fate of the other male children of
the period and the lawgiver of Israel
never have been heard of.

women's Wages.

From an article on the prevailing
poetry in New York, which appeared in
The Century Magazine, read carefully
this paragraph:
''Can you appreciate the unspeakable
danger, moral as we'll as physical, in
volved in the fact that among the $780,,
900 women in our city who earn their
living and ofeen the living of children
and men. too, the average wage, not the
lowest, but the average, where some
are paid pretty well, is only so cents
day? Have you tried to understand the
tenor of lives like those of seamstresses,
who get from 90 to 35 cents a dozen for
making flannel shirts and 81. so dozen
for making calico wrappers? Or to fancy
how it must feel to labor for such pit
tances in cold and semidarkness from 4
in the morning until 4 at night? Or to
estimate their purchasing power, when
coal must be bought by the bucket at
the rate of $40 ton, and rent in the
vilest pur1ieus must be paid at a higher
ratio upon the invested capital than is
asked on Fifth avenue? If you and ev-
ery other man and woman could be
brought to realize these things and to
ponder them a little, would they not
cease to be? Surely it must be our igno-
rance, not our hard heartedness, which
permits them now.
