MRS. PINKHAM'S VICTORY.

ney Hamlet, Red House, Va"
This case is a good illustration of
perseverance and faith. Mrs. Hamlet's
sickness was severe, it took courage
and patience to master the disease, but
in good time the Compound produced
the happy result as it will always do.
The more difficult the case, however,
the longer it will take to cure it-many
women lose courage before the medi-
cine has time to thoroughly "take
hold - of the system.

GASOLINE BICYCLE.

power bicycle, and for the most part
unsuccessfully. The difficult part of the
problem has been to get motor and
equipment that would not make the ma
chine too heavy. Nearly all the cleo
trical wheels that have been devised
have weighed from so to 100 pounds.
The interesting feature of this pc
troleum bicycle is that the motor and
it's parts weigh only rs pounds, making
total weight, when adjusted to 22-
pound wheel, of only AZ pounds.
When filled the little oil tank or reser-
voir will, it is said, last an ordinary run
of ten hours, or $50 miles. By keeping
in the saddle ten hours a day wheel
man could cross the continent in "a
lays, at a cost of $2.40 for oil.
Alongside the handle bars of the ma
chine is set thin lever or regulating
bar, which communicates with what is
called vibrator" just below the oil
tank, and connecting with it by a small
tube. This handle bar, when jerked,
fulfills a double purpose. 1t let's a GER
tain quantity of the oil run down into
a can placed over the front wheel, and
known as the ''eXploder," and an in
slant later it starts little battery hav-
ing four dry cells. The spark from this
battery drops down into the oil below
and ignites it, and it sets the motor in
motion. To the motor is attached a
chain on a sprocket wheel, geared to
the pedals. The wheel is stopped by
shutting off the supply of petroleum.

The apparatus is of about half
horse power, which is ample for one
man at the rate of speed mentioned

Now Laws for Bicycles.

Bicycles are creating good deal of
new law in Great Britain. In England
they have been declared to be vehicles.
In Scotland, in a case to recover in
surance for death due to bicycle ac-
:ident. they have been declared to be
not vehicles. the Judge declaring that
they could no more be considered such
than skates.

A STANDING INVITATION.

Women suffering from any form of fe-
male weakness are invited to promptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at
Lynn, Mass. All letters are received,
opened, read and answered by women
only. A woman can freely talk of her
private illness to a woman; thus has
been established the eternal confidence
between Mrs. Pinl1ham and the women
of America which has never been
broken. Out of the vast volume of ex-
perience which she has to draw from it
is more than possible that she has
gained the very knowledge that will
help your case. She asks nothing in
return except your good will, and her
advice has relieved thousands. Surely
any woman, rich or poor, is very fool
ish if she does not take advantage Of
this generous offer of assistance.

Waste for Isolated Houses.
[CoPYRIGHT, 1861
In building city house or house
in a suburban town that is provided
with sewers, the question of plumbing
is comparatively simple. 1t mainly re-
solves itself into a question of the
amount of money one is willing to ex-
pend for methods and systems that are
we'll tried and proved. But in the con-
struction of country house, most inn
portant and vexing problem confronts
the builder. The disposal of sewage in
the country has caused more trouble
than all the other features of house
building and management put to-
gether; even the near neighborhood of

Statistics cited at the recent meeting
in Buffalo of the National Association
of Stationary Engineers, in support of
the proposition that such engineers be
licensed, showed that the boiler expIo-
sions in the country for the last five
years averaged 26 month. or one for
each working day. 1t appeared also
from reports of the accident insurance
companies of the country that they had
l,een interested during the last 16 years
in 1856 cases of boiler explosions, a
yearly average of 224, in which 4,50S
people were killed and 6,348 injured.
Commenting ON these figures, a com
mittee reported to the association that.

would tend to promote public safety.

to pay more attention to the nceties

Havana, Feb. 7.-Spanish circles are greatly elatedsover the report that Gen eral Luque won the battle of Paso Real Monday. The officials claim a decisive blow was dealt the rebels. Owing to the telegraph and railroad lines not oper- ating the only details obtainable are the government reports. The Cubans claim the report Is preposterous. They say it is impossible to kill sixty-two and wound 200 insurgents without more than two dead and thirty wounded on the Spanish side.
 The press censorship continues strict No cables from the United States are allowed to be printed in regard to the status of the belligerency resolution The government has ordered w. F.

KENTUCKY DEADLOCK.
Governor Bradley Denies That He Has De-
 cided to Order Out Troops

Frankfort, Ky, Feb 1.-The senatorial situation presents no sensational features and there is less, indication of trouble. The crowd of prospective "deputies' around the doors are smaller and more orderly. The state authorities are not telling their plans and no authoritative statements can be had as to the exact line that will be adopted to suppress the proposed deputies should they be sworn in by the democrats of the senate
 Governor Bradley positively denies the story to the effect that it has been de- cided to call out the state troops to sup press any possible conflict in legislative circles. The governor did not deny that the proposition was discussed in the re- publican caucus last night, but he said that he had not yet even looked up the subject and was fully convinced that he has authority to call out troops under such circumstances.
 For the first time, in several days many ladies were present today. Senator Goe- bel, president pro tenn. of the senate, pre- sided over the assembly in the presence of 134 members, sixty-eight being neces- sary to a choice.
 The vote resulted: Hunter 66, Black burn 62. Carlisle ?, Bate 1, McCreary 3.

Rradstreef's Reviaw.

New York, Feb 7.-Bradstreet's tomor- row will say:
 General trade awaited the results of subscriptions to the bond issue, and the sentimental effects of the unexpectedly favorable outcome have been for easier money and improvement. Additional fa- vorable influences are found In heavier bank clearings, continued firmness of prices, sustained demand for iron and steel and the announcements from St. Paul, Milwaukee, Omaha and DesMoines of a revival in business with jObbers in staple lines. At the east Baltimore and Pittsburg report favorable trade condi- tions. At the south gains in wholesale lines are announced from Nashville, Memphis, Atlanta and Birmingham. The reverse includes the depressing influence of stormy and wet weather, indifference of consumers of domestic wooden dress goods, renewed sales of print cloths and other makes of cotton goods. only after reaction in prices, continuance of ex- treme conservatism in almost all lines and the fact that the relief to the treas-/ ury by the heavy yover-subscription to the bond issue in the absence of sound cur rency legislation by congress will proba- bly, prove only temporary device to maintain the gold reserve. General trade at Chicago St. Louis, Buffalo and Phila- delphia shows no real gains from the pre- ceding week, when the situation was dull and the outlook unsatisfactory.
 The total number of business failures Throughout the United States this week as reported to Bradstreet's Is considera- hly smaller, 338 as contrasted with 393 last week, 293 in the week year ago and 336. or almost exactly the same number, in the first week of February, 1894; 223 in 1893 and and PA in 1892.

MONEY IS MUCH EASIER
[ IRON Z SJE SHOWS IMPROVEMENT

New York, Feb. 7.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S review will say tomorrow:
 Failures for the week have been 323 in the United States, against 2S1 last year. and 63 in Canada, against 5S last year. The wonderful success of the popular loan alters the face of events. January operations become ancient history as the nation mounts above all doubts and fears to a solid certainty that the people can and will uphold their government with $56S, ,000, 900 bid by 4600 banks or persons. and the tremendous strength of the na- tional credit is demonstrated as 1t has not been before for many years. The n- fiuence of this event upon all manufac- turing and all trade cannot be lightly es- timated. It strips the silver agitation of all its power to hurt. It puts the treasu- ry upon safe basis for the time, whethi CT congress does anything or not. It mo- tifies foreign nations that the United States has power as we'll as purpose. It unlocks millions of gold, which have been gathered in preparation, brings directly several millions of gold from Europe and stimulates the anxiety of foreign invest ors to obtain American securities
 With such revolution in business sud- denly effected, the customary records of the past week and month are of less val ue than usual. But there have been signs of improvement in the iron manufacture, although the average of prices is nearly l per cent lower this week, and orders for wire nails are stimulated by decision to advance the price again March 1. There is also a more active demand for plates and sheets. Southern competition lowers coke iron at Chicago and prevents advance at the east, while sales of last years speculators in the Pittsburg re- zion still depress Bessemer. The ore pool Is expected to fix the price for the year at &, or possibly $4.50, and the coke pool still reduces the output ~
 The boot and shoe manufacture does not gain as yet leather being about l per cent lower for the week.
 The cotton mills continue generally &C., tive, though talk of decreasing the pro- duction still continues. Print cloths do not rise above 2A cents and some goods tend lower
