A STARTLING FACT.
Sixteen Per Cent. OF Life Insurance Applicants
Rejected on Account OF Diseased Kidneys.

DR.. Lambert the General medical director of
the Equitable Lifesinsurance Company, New
York. is reported to have said: 1--WE reject
sixteen per cent. of the applications for insur-
ance. and have saved the entire expense of
this medical department by the rejection Of
applicants who had diseased kidneys, and who
died within two years after I rejected them -
This appalling statement should have the
attention of our citizens. THERE'S no reason
today why people should allow kidney dis
ease to get such hold on them. Nature
sends her warning in the slight pain in the
back, poor circulation OF the blood, sediment
in the urine. When any of these symptoms
appear, DR.. David Kennedy's Favorite REM
edy should be taken in small doses at once,
and thus drive the poison ont of the blood
and restore the kidneys to healthy action To
our knowledge this is the only medicine that
surely cures this almost universal complaint
We note the recovery of Mr.. Oscar Lambert
OF Jerlco, Mo whose case has been talked OF
IN the papers the world over. Quoting from
his letter to the Press. Hr. Lambert saws: ~
neglected the hrst symptoms until found nv
self III bed with q complicated disease of the

lived My physician failed to help me. [

edy. 1t relieved my kidneys almost immeli-
ately, ar q in few weeks / was clear Of all
pain, and entirely cured.

tlsing in the columns of the daily papers than

The God of Fortune.

The Chinese deity of fortune Is always
represented as a jolly god, and the rich

speaking testimonials to his popularity.
On tho I'd nf the second month a special
festival is held in his honor, on which &C.
casion his temples are crowded with wor-
shippers, who manifest devoufness which

ed to secure his favor, and, not content
with leaving the lots on the knees of the
god, his practical minded worshipers seek
TO lift the veil which conceals his counsels
from mankind. For this purpose they
adopt curious device.

Dir. PIERCE'S
Golden Medical
DISCOVERY
Cures Mnety-eighf per cent of all
cases of Consumption, in all its
Earlier Stages.

Although by many believed to be incura-
BILE, there is the evidence of hu1dreds of
living witnesses to the fact that, in all its
earlier stages, consumption is durable
disease. Not every case, bit q large per-
cenfdge Of cases, and we believe, fully 90
Per cent. are cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed SO far as to induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious expectoration (includ-
ing tubercular NATTER, great loss of flesh
and extreme ems~iation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to Us as cured by Golden Med
ieal Discovery were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it They have, in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis-
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced ard advised against
trial of Golden Medical Discovery"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal nialady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy ''einulsions and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-
6t, or had only seemed to benefit little for
Short time. Extract OF malt, whiskey,
and various preparations of the Eypophos-
phitcs Rad also been faithfully tried in vain
The photographs OF large number OF
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal
catarrli and kindred naladies, have been
skillfully reproduced in a book of 100
pages which will be mailed to YOU on re-
ceipt of address and six cents in stamps.

ToILERS LOCKED OUT.
The Intended Strike a. 0IneyviIIe Forestalled
by the Mil Owners.

PROVIDENCE, April l2-When the $500
operatives of the Atlantic mills, Olney-
VILE went to work yesterday morning, in
tending, according to program, to labor 10
minutes and then go ont on strike, they
discovered that their plans had been fore
stalled by the managers. Signs were
posted On the gates, notifying the opera
tives, that the mills would be closed until
further notice. The strikers held meet
ing and discussed the OUTLOOK. A vigil
lance committee of 25 was appointed to
guard the vicinity of the mills.
Superintendent Lougee Of the Atlantic
mills stated that the mills were closed by
the corporation to avoid complications-as-
sociated with a strike and not through a
feeling Of spite as the public might infer.
He said:
IF tie men had been allowed to carry
out their intentions. and $500 men had
come in and gone out in 10 minutes, there
would have been considerable disturb
ance and some damage might have been
done. l am very sorry the strike has
!can called. because in the past II years
we have succeeded in obtaining superior
force of worknlen. The operatives seem
moro intelligent and capable than any l
ever saw under one roof"
The Atlantic corporation is the only one
In Providence
Not In tl,s Manufacturers' Club,
and the other manufacturers are not con-
corning themselves with the trouble
Only one-thrd of the $500 employees be-
long to the union, but as the majority are
weavers tho strike will be continued as
long as the latter remain out.
Matters were quiet at OlncyEille last
night, and the streets were practically de-
serted a. 10 O'clock. About rs men pa
troled the streets about the Atlantic
works and did so until relieved by others
this morning. 1t is intended to maintain
u perpetual patrol about the factories as
long us the strike lasts. to prevent, if pos
sibe, outsiders from going to work.
The weavcrs CT the Providence and Ma
tional worstel mills met last night and
voted to assess themselves 81 week each
for the benefit OF the strikers. They mum.
Der nearly 600 persons. The employees of
the Saxon worstcd mills also met, but de-
cidcd to leave the matter of assessment to
the Judgment CT the executive council
The worsted and WOODEN spinners will
take UP the matter CT assessment at meet
ings tonight
Notice has been received from Andover
and Lawrence, that the operatives in
those cities will assist the Olneyville
strikers i'll every way possible Popular
dances are to be held at Olneyville, Paw
tucket, Central Falls and Pascoag every
Saturday night while the strike lasts.
Richard McGuy, secretary Of the Tex
tile union is seriously i'll at his home and
unable to take charge of the strike, and it
is expected that on Saturday the union
will elect some one to act in his place.

IT IS PEACE.
China and Japan at Last Reach
An Understanding.
Terms Of Conditions Not Known, but
Japan Makes Concessions.
The japanese at Washington Greatly EIated-
Chinese Not 50 Happy.

Washington, April 12.-Official advice
received here, today, from Japan, indi-
cate that an understanding has been
reached between the japanese and Chinese
plenipotentiaries and that the news of the
definite conclusion Of peace may be ex-
pected at any moment.
The exact particulars of the proposed
terms Of settlement could not be learned,
but it Ia understood that in response to the
urgent and repeated requests Of the Chi
nese plenipotentiary for an abatement OF
the demands originally made, the Japa-
nese plenipotentiaries have granted i'm
portant concessions.
The first knowledge that peace negotia-
lions between China and Japan have
practically been concluded was received
at the Chinese legation, today. through a
telephone bulletin from the United Press
office The announcement was particu-
larly gratifying. At a late hour. this af-
ternoon, the legation had not been officially
advised regarding the negotiations
One member Of the ministers suite
said the conclusion Of the war would be
disappointing TO the Chinese people, who
would like it continued indefinitely, and
who still believed that after the Chinese
armies had been fully organized, they
could easily conquer their foes, but the
government felt that the time had arrived
when peace should DO made without
further delay.
Careful inquiries at the Chinese and
Japanese legations and of officials Of the
state department and officers of the navy
who by residence in both contending
countries, have become familiar with their
customs apd currency, seems to indicate
that there is a strong possibility that the
indemnify will be paid by China to Japan
in silver and not in gold.
Japan has not been called upon to nego-
tiate any European loan payable in gold
for the prosecution Of the war Therefore
she has experienced no especial drain of
gold. China, being heavily in debt to
England and other European nations. has
exported within the past few years large
quantities of gold, and the national treas
ury does not contain any considerable
amount of this metal.
