NERVOUS P~ROSTRATION.
An American Malady Caused by
Our Manner OF Living.

Ouf manner OF Living.
From the Star, W~ashiHeton, D. G.
We Americans hurry too much. We do
not take time enough for u meals. We
haste to get rich, and wear out our bodies
by the strain on our nerves. The result is
nervous prostration. Probably there Is no
remedy which will reach all cases. Pink
Pills come nearer being q specific for 1t
than anything we know, however, and we
have just interviewed Two Washington peo-
| pie who have tried them for this malady in
order to get some local testimony. The
first is W. Heinrich Robb, of SO9New Jersey
Avenue, N. W.:
-For q long time,n said Mr.. Robb, "I suf-
fered horribly with nervous prostration,
and tried many physicians and various high
ly recommended remedies without ex-
peziencing the slightest benefit. Last fall
my business called me to Pittsburgh, Pa,
and while there my mother, who remained
in Washington, wrote recommending that
I should try Pink Pills. To please Hno
procured a box. At this time and for q han
period previous my condition was most ",
piorable. I could not walk alone, andI

and for a long time before, / had to II =,
myself oeat, but after the first box of Dy
had peer used by me my appetite retq1npa
and 1 was able to eat r~avenously. s b -.
also ave said that when I began taking1tn u
Pink Pills my legs had become as seene&s
me ik wooden legs, and my body was fasS
becoming in the anne condition. The use
of two boxes Of Pink Pills, however, drove
all trouble away and I regard them as WON
derful mecicine.n
Miss G. E. Lewis, No. 1928 N St, north
west, one Of the teachers in Miss Payne's
School Of Cookery, says. ID Williams
Medicine Company's Pink Pills lave been
Of great benefit to my health. i am very
much averse to talking for publication, but
facts In my case. Ihad suffered from nerv-
BUSINESS for a long time and was all run
down. ! tried various remedies but none
OF them did me any good. Last summer
while in Delaware / was told of some won
derful cures that had been effected by means
of the Pink Pills and bought a box. They
helped me wonderfully after taking them
for the past few weeks. / have been en-
tirely cured of what was a severe and pro-
longed attack Of nerv Gus prostration."
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain, in a con-
densed form, all the elements necessary to
restore shattered nerves. They are also a
specific for troubles peculiar TO females,
such as suppressions, Irregularities and all
forms of weakness. They build up the
blood, and restore the glowof health to pale
and sallow cheeks. In men they effect q
radical cure in all cases arising from men
tai worry, overwork or excuses of what
ever nature. Pink Pills are sold in boxes
tneveri in loose bulky at so cents q box or six
boxes for 2.50, and may be had Of all drug
gists, or direct by mail from DR.. Williams

ACCEPTS STUART's OFFER.
Fitzsimmons Is Willing to Fight corbett to a
Finish For Sic. 900 Purse.

San Francisco, Dec. MARTIN Julian
stated to the press last evening that he
had just telegraphed an acceptance of
Dan Stuart's offer for fight to finish
between Corbett and F'itzsimmons for
SIS, 900 purse. He has sent a similar tele-
gram to Corbett. Julian says his reasons
for accepting this offer in preference to
the offers for a larger purse Is that Fitz-
simmons desires to fight to finish.
Stuart offers TO place the entire purse in
responsible hands and to name the time
and place when the articles are signed.
If the match is not brought off at the
time and place specified each of the prin-
cipals, according to Julian, is to receive
half of the purse. Julian believes the
fight will be brought off at Juarez.
Bob Fitsimmons and Sharkey have
ceased their training, and will rest until
Wednesday night. Each remains in his
own training quarters. Their respective
managers have been trying to select
referee. but Lynch, acting for Sharkey
does not wish a choice to be made until
the last moment If no one is selected by
Wednesday noon the National Athletic
club will name an official. Each pugilist
seems confident Of the decision. The
betting is generally from three to one to
four to one in favor of Fitzsimmons.
Julian. the latter's manager, says he Is
betting four to one that Sharkey Will De
knocked out in four rounds.

FREE COINAGE OUT.
Ex-Governor Boies Says Broader Issue Is
Now Before the People.

Waterloo, Ia, Dec. 1.-The free silver
men Of this district held consolation
meeting here last night. Former Gov
ernor Horace Boies was expected, but
did not attend. He sent a telegram,
saying that he had a severe cold, and a
letter giving his views on the currency.
The telegram was read from the stage
but the letter displeased the managers
of the meeting, and 1t was not made
public. In the letter Mr.. Boies said:
THE issue of the future is already
clearly presented. 1t is no longer a
question of whether or not we shall have
free coinage at 16 to l, but 1t is the
broader question of whether or not the
nation is to be tied to a gold standard
and receive it's paper currency through
the instrumentality and at the will OF
private corporations, or have for its use
a national currency based upon gold and
silver alike and controlled by the gov
ernment instead Of by syndicates and
combinations. We must prepare for the
broader issue. The time to begin is now
and the way to begin is to organize"

Evening School Opened By
Rev. Fr. Cassidy.
Cumberland Man Arrested and
Taken to AttlebOrO.
Trouble in the Amateur Polo League Timely
Topics Of Interest.

Rev. Father Cassidy has been consider
ing, for some time, the idea of starting a
night school In the parish.
A number of requests have been made to
the reverend gentleman, and In compli-
ance with these requests, Rev. Father Cas-
sidy has concluded to do so. The school
will be opened on Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings of each week, and
will be under the personal supervision OF
Father Cassidy. This idea is put into effect
for the simple reason, that it will reach
class of people who would not attend the
regular evening schools.
Trouble Brewing.
Considerable dissatisfaction exists among
the managers of Amateur Polo League.
At a meeting of the league managers
held at Pawtucket some time ago, 1t was
voted that Cumberland and Manville
would have to pay 81 per man and expenses
to all the visiting clubs, and in return
when the clubs from this section go to
Pawtucket they receive only their car fare.
Mr.. Burke of the local league objects to
this arrangement, and I'm conversation
with TRIBUNE reporter, last night, said
that 1t was unfair for the other clubs to
expect that price.
He further said that he had gone to the
expense of laying out $45O0 to give those
young players q chance to become experts
at the game, and in return he expected a
fair return on the money invested. This
he could not do II the players took all the
profits.
Arrested Yesterday.
Aaron Bradley, living on Bradley Hill,
Valley Falls, was arrested yesterday after
noon by Deputy Sheriff Benjamin Thorn
ley, assisted by Officer John III. Broadbent.
Bradley had been at work for William
Taylor of Attleboro, and was charged with
the theft of different hardware articles.
