 inodesty that has been prolific of weakness and disease, Four out of every five women in America are not perfect women in the sense of being perfectly healthy. They are not perfectly equipped for the performance of the duties Of wifehood and motherhood. Their training has made them feel that it is better to suffer in silence than to tell of their trouble and be cured.
 The doctors are much to blame for this, because when treating the diseases pecu- liarly feminine they invariably insist on ex- animation and local treatment. That these things are generally absolutely unnecessary has been proven by the wonderful success of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It is positive specific for all forms of female weakness and disease. It puriies, strength- ems and regulates the organs distinctively feminine, restoring them to a state of per feet health, and in so doing cures four -ffths of all the illness of women, for almost all wonanly illnesses spring from this one cause.
 Any woman who wants to know just how to use the Favorite Prescription and just what methods will be surely successful in her case, may have the desired information, free of cost if she will write to Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y.
 Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are the only known cure for constipation biliousness heartburn "a nd attendant ills. There are many temporary re- liefs from these troubles, but only one cure The "Pellcts" do not grpe cause any other ufa. pleasantncss Druggists sell them-2s cents.

 W. R. Craig. of Mississippi, on behalf of producers of "extra staple" cotton of the Mississippi valley asked for protee- tion against Egyptian. cotton This cot ton, he said, came in direct competition with the domestic product and to a large extent had driven the domestic growers out In some way, he asserted, the for eigners always managed to undersell the domestic producers just enough to get their goods in. The domestic cotton is used in the finer grades of goods, and was one of the industries which could be pro tected without damage to any one. It was a growing industry, and mod crate protection was asked for it. He thought 3 cents per pound would sui flee. An ad valorem duty would be worthless A large percentage of the mills now being erected were for the purpose of spinning this fine cotton, and if fostered this industry had bright future The question of labor entered largely into the question, that in Egypt being of the pauper class. Our cotton would do the work as good if not better than the Egyptian article, and would be of great benefit to the farmers of the south.
 c. P. Baker, treasurer of the Lawrence Manufacturing company, said that the Egyptian cotton was used in preference to the American product, as there was less waste in working it. The two cot tons could not always be used for the same purposes. The American article could not entirely take the place of the Egyptian product.
 Mr Wheeler asked if the south would not be selling it's birthright for mess of potage to ask for this.
 NIr. Baker said that he would not Ike to say.
 MT. Wheeler was asked what this birth right was.
 He replied: Free trade and free insti- tutions."

 The princess and her paramour have visited the theater since their arrival and appear to enjoy the notoriety they have obtained. Whenever they have ap- peared at places of amusement the prin- cess has been blazing in diamonds, and as she is a remarkably beautiful woman, has excited much attention.
 The audiences as soon as they discover who the couple are, neglect the stage and. devote, all their time to watching Rigo and the princess, who evidently de- light in the sensation they are creating. The contrast between the two is great. Rigo, who is about 35 years of age, looks like an ordinary gypsy. His complexion is swarthy and his common ancestry is plainly attested in his face.
 The respectable people of the city are thoroughly disgusted with the manner inwhich the pair are acting and say that ordinary decency should impel them to keep themselves. as much as possible from the public gaze.
 Many men of the world scoff at the idea of Rigo divorcing his wife and mar rying the princess. They say that after he gets as much money as possible from her he will abandon her and return to his wife

 Need Repairing.

Only Few Strained Plates and Rivets
 Need Repairing.
 London, Dec 29-The statement made yesterday that the entire hull of the American line steamer St. Paul, below a certain level, must be re-riveted and that other repairs to the vessel are imperative is denied by the managers of the Amerl- can line, who assert that the ship will merely undergo the customary half year ly oVerhauling. Chairman Wildlng or the American line, said today that the plates and rivets in the hull of the steamer St. Paul, which were strained when the vessel went ashore at Longbraneh, N. J., on Jan. 25, last, while on her way from Southampton for New York, would be replaced. The local work men of Southampton, MT. Wilding said, were not sufficiently skilled to restore the excellent workmanship bestowed up on the vessel at Philadelphia, and the company had therefore arranged to sup ply the deficiency by sending force or the best workmen to be found In the Clyde yards to do the work. Advantage had been taken of the occasion of the customary semi-annual overhauling to get the work done there, and there was no other significance in sending the three hundred riVeters and caulkers who nave gone to Southampton.
 With the exception of the Stralneu plates and rivets mentioned, MT. Wild ing added, the vessel was In perfect con- dtion. her hull being as good as the day she was launched.
