without it she would lose the brightness of
her eyes, the fu1lness Of her cheeks and her
vivacity. Health brings all these things
but health means more than most people
think of Real health must mean that
woman is really woman. That she is
strong and perfect in sexual way, as well
as in every other. That she is capable of
performing perfectly the duties of matern-
ity. Upon her strength in this way depends
TO large extent her general health, her
good looks and her attractiveness. Some
women are born stronger. than others.
Some are born with what is called con-
stitutionai weakness" 1t is easier for some
women TO retain health and strength Than
1t is for others. Some seem able to do any.
thing they like, whenever they like, with
out serious results. Still, there IS no rea-
SON why women should not enjoy perfect
health. Those who do not, need only take
the proper precautions and the proper rem
edy to become perfectly we'll and strong.

SAN IA f RETREACHMEAT
Its Freight Offices in Half a
Dozen Eastern Cities to Be
Abolished.
Grinding the AK for the Decapita.
ton of Many Alarmed
Officials.

CHICAGO, Ill, Feb. I.-Orders were
issued to-day by President Ripley of the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe RAILROAD
system to close the freight offices of that
company in Philadelphia, Cleveland, Min
neapolls, Omaha, Buffalo and Quincy, Ill.
All the employees in these offices will re-
celve notice that their services are no
longer required by the company, with the
exception of the agent at Philadelphia,
who is transferred to New York.
PRESIDENT Ripley and his associates in
the new management OF the Santa Fe
were convinced, on investigation, that the
business done from these offices was not
suihcient to warrant their continuance in
1urtherance OF the present policy of re.
trenchment. There have been numerous
reports and rumors since the first OF the
year that important changes and reduc-
lions would be ordered from headquarters
In the course of month.
PRESIDENT Ripley left Chicago to-day to
be absent three or four weeks, and there is
some uneasiness at the general Offices here
as to what officials are to be dropped, the
common report in railroad circles being
that the ak is being sharpened for such q
purpose. It is understood that other out
side freight offices are also to be abolished

organization of the company and the iss,u-
ances of 100000 600 4-per-cent bonds to
take up the Government lien and all other
obligations for the company.
He gave in detail the amounts of the
different mortgages on the company S
property and their relation to the debt due
to the Government, and said the reorgani-
cation committee would either make a
proposition to the Government for set
Element of the debt or that the offer might
first come from the Government.
To a question by Frye whether the pro-
posed issue of S100, 900, 900 bonds fairly rep
resented the value of the property owned
by the Union Pacific road Pierce replied in
the affirmative. Frye asked whether If
the bonds were amply secured the COM
pany could not pay the Government the
amount in cash, selling the bonds for that
purpose, but Mr.. Pierce replied that they
would probably not be worth par in the
open market, but might range at from so
to 80, while in the long run they would be
worth par and the Government would re-
ceive all that they represented.
Frye asked whether there was bill
pending which covered the proposition.
Pierce said there was not. What he pre-
sented was the plan of Reorganization. He
represented the reorganization commit
tee.
Tweed, counsel for the Central Pacific
Railroad Company, stated the financial
and other conditions OF that company as
differing essentially from those on the
Union Pacific, inasmuch as the Central
Pacific was going" road with the inter.
est on it's mortgages paid as it falls due
and with no floating debt. He presented
figures TO show that the company could
pay the sixty millions, principal and in
terest due the Government, on an extern.
sion of the debtor fifty years at per cent
Coils 2. Huntington. president of the
Central Pacific, said that he would prefer
to defer the statement which he desired to
make until the committees next meeting,
showing that the Central Pacific was q
little better off than it appeared to be.
THAT will be very agreeable news to the
committee" said Frye. The Senator also
added pleasantly, "They do say that you
have paid large sums of money to Sutro tc
tempt him to stop these attacks in the
press. Is there any truth in that2''
Huntington replied that Sutro asked
him to lunch at his place one day; that hs
told him ne wanted to build road from
San francisco to his place, about eigh
r9iles, that he (Huntington) said he coulc
not.do it then, but would some time; tha
then Sutro SAID: 81 am going to fght

up from the table and went away.

in Kentucky are the Covington and Mays
vile road and the Lexington and Big

subscriptions from the counties through
which they run, and then following the
usual course fell into Central Pacific hands,

general offices of this company are in

Henry T. Wickham, son of the former
president of the Chesapeake and Ohio, is
the general attorney for the road. From
Louisville to Memphis the lines are under
the name of the Chesapeake and Ohio and
Southwestern, of which Echols is general
manager. By late litigation this line went
into the United States Court, and General
Echols and st. John Boyle are the receiv-
ers. Connecting with it are the Owens
boro Falls and Rough and Green River
road, of which NJ. n. Monarch is receiver
and EchoIs general manager. Also, the
Ohio Valley Railroad from Henderson to
Hopkinsyille, of which John Macleod is
receiver and General Echols manager.
The Paducah, Tennessee and Alabama
Railroad is also under Huntingtons con-
troll, and a note from a recent communica-
ton of Governor Bradley to the Legisla-
ture in regard to State suit against this
railroad will show the methods pursued
s by 1t, as with other lines in the Hunting
ton system:
The recent case of the State of Kentucky VS..
the Paducah, Tennessee and. Alabama Rail-
road resulted in judgment and return of no
property found, and pending notice by the At
torney-General and proceedings to place the
road in the hands of State receiver, the road
went into the hands of receiver in the United
States Court.
This same plan is pursued all over the
State. Every case of any consequence is
taken out of the State courts. The State
of Kentucky is as powerless under the

4 BARON At BR|DEWELl,
International Trouble Threatened
by the Imprisonment Of
a Hungarian.
Sent to the House of Correction for
Battling With Chicago
Policemen.

CHICAGO, I'LL, Feb. MARK L.
Crawford, Superintendent of the House of
Correction, IS at present entertaining
real Hungarian Baron. The Baron is no
less. parsonage than Sigmund Won Mi
halka, in whose veins courses the blue
blood of the Hungarian monarchy.
Crawford's entertainment of the Baron is
not social event, as Baron Mihalka's
stay at the Bridewell is one of compulsion.
until he has worked out $25 fine imposed
by Justice Clark of Hyde Park. 1t is
thought that the nobIeman will be guest
at the institution for sixty-two days.
The Baron's detention at the workhouse
was caused by his interference with Police
men Burns and Breen of the Hyde Park
station, who were serving search war
rant for valuable otter hound lost by
Morrison, an architect. Morrison lives at
Fifty-third street and Kimbark avenue.
On Tuesday Mrs. Morrison was told that
the animal, known as Jumbo, was being
kept in a fiat building at 57S East Fifty
fifth street. She went to that number and
upon making inquiries found that Jumbo
was in fiat occupied by Baron Mihalka.
When Mrs. Morrison demanded the re-
lease of her dog the Baron is alleged to
have demanded reward, and when Mrs.
Morrison refused to make the proposed
settlement, it Is claimed, he shut the door
violently in her face.
When Officer Burns displayed search
warrant Mihalka, it is said, attempted to
close the door in Burns face. A struggle
ensued, in which two policemen, Mihalka
and two women were considerably mixed
up for several minutes. The Baron, il is
said, nearly succeeded in tossing Officer
Breen over the railing of the third floor,
and 1t was only by using force that he was
taken to the Hyde Park station, where he
was later IN the day released on bonds.
Mihalka failed to appear and his bonds
were forfeited and fine of SOS was.im-.
posed upon charges of interfering with
and resisting an officer.
The Baron came to court few minutes
later, and refusing to pay the fine, he was
taken to the Bridewell Mrs. Mihalka
went before Mayor Swift yesterday and
threatened to invoke the aid of the Aus
trian Consul If he did not make an imme-
date investigation of the case and release
her husband. Captain Aidrich was di-
rected by the Mayor to bring his two off,
GERS and all witnesses to his Office at Q
O'Clock, and at that time Mrs. Milhalka
with several witnesses and an attorney
presented themselves at the Mayor office.
Attorney G. T. Butcher made formal
demand that the Mayor should take i'm
mediate action, ana after a lengthy argu-
ment said he would give the officials
fifteen minutes in which to decide what
they were going to do. Before the expira-
ton OF the time, however, the Mayor
ordered the officers to return to their
station, and then gave the attorney to I'M
derstand that he would take no action of
any kind. Mrs. Mihalka now threatens to
have the two officers who arrested her
husband arrested on several charges, the
nature OF which she refuses to diyulge.

Change of Administrator.

John Connors. Esq, of Holbrook, las been appointed administrator of the estate of Morris Earth, deceased. MT. Connors qualified at once and im- mediately entered upon the discharge of his duties. thus relieving the former administrator, Hon. John T. Lesueur, of this place. The change was made necessary on account of the division of the county, as all the real pro erty be- longing to ths estate is situated in Navajo county. The delay was caused on account of the reluctance of the probate court to make any order taking the affairs of the estate out of so trust. worthy hands as those of MT. Lesueur. Immediately upon notification by the probate court Of Navajo county, MT. Lesueur turned over to MT. Connors all the money and other property belong in to the estate, and taking receipts therefor. The promptness with which thls was done may be judged from the fact that 1t was done by correspondence, MT. Connors not being even required to make the trip from Holbrook here.
