While the men employed in the navy
yard at this point are not the roposito-
ricS of any authoritative Information in
the matter of war rumors. nevertheless
they are enabled to pick UP Il good
many straws which show how the wind
IS allowing from the scraps of CONVERSE
ton they hear between officers and the
change ~ methods 50 far as doing Ger
tain work is concerned.
II is conceded that they are generally
able 10 form n pretty correct Idea OF
what is going on 1T headquarters in this
way. ana. therefore. something more
thGn casual significance would seem TO
attach itaelf 10 the fact that the preva-
lcnt impression among the men at the
NOrfolk NaVy-yard is that the United
States Government is seriously con-
icmplat!ng the emergency of a war with
Spain.
REPAIRS ON THE NEWARK.
So far as this yard is concerned there
is Mt present but little work to do. AS

-,a.A STARTLING RUMoR. r
\ rather startling r,imor emanated
from the yard last night. 1T was To the
effect that an officer on the Newark had
yesterday afternoon received q telegram
from n brother officer in New York in
forming him that Minister HanniS Tay-
!ur, in Madrid, had received his pass
ports from the Spanish Government and
Informed that his room was better than
his company.
such telegram may or may not have
been received. 1t cou.d not be located.
iJ se.las strange however. even iC II
had l.u seut, how the New York man
"ou'5 utrc cropped 10 the Information
unless. i~rehGncc. he obtained it in n
more ~ less direct way from superior
officer who was not as guarded as he
might have been.
y; any a:e, this seems 20 be the sum
Of the war news in this section. 1t is
doubtful whether any OF the United

more about 1t than ordinary mprtals.

Berlin. October 13.-The Lokal Anzeiger
has dispatch from Constantinople saying
that the anti-sultaD movement among the
Softas Theological students) is growing.
They have circulated another revolutionary
proclamation.
The dispatch adds that Nehmet Pasha,
an Imperial aide, was shot at the Yildiz
Palace on suspicion that he was implicat-
ed in the Young Turkey agitation.
Persistent stories are in circulation to the
effect thatcarts loaded with corpses emerge
at night from the central prison and hurry
off in the direction of the Bosphorus. These
victims are supposed to be Young Turks.
French divers are refusing to work in the
Bosphorus owing to the horrible collection
of corpses that they meet while pursuing
their labors under water.
In au interview Tewfik Pasha, the for
eign minister, gave in detail the reforms that
the sultan proposes to apply to the whole
empire. He said that the great expense en-
tailed by these reforms would be met by
granting new monopoles, if the powers
will give their consent. With these and
peace, Turkey, he added, would surmount
her financial troubles.
In conclusion Tewfik Pasha declared that
the government was resolved to continue
the construction of the Asiatic railway to
Bagdad, thus opening up the resources of
Anatolia aud providing an overland route
to India.

MARRIED IN JEST. :
But it Turned Out to be Legal
and They Sensibly Made
the Best oft.

Warrensburg, Mo, July IS.
While talking with a party
of friends last Wednesday Blair
Howard proposed as a Joke to
Miss Lille McLain that they
get married. She coneented,
but each supposed the other
asjesting. A friend was dis
patched for license, which
was drawn up in due form.
The wedding was announced
IN the papers to take place at
the residence Of Rev. G. B.
Curry, pastor Of the Sacred
Hearr Church, that night. At
the appointed time the couple
went to the residence, but Fa-
Hler Curry had several visitors
and they. did not remain.
Thursday morning they went
back and the ceremony was
performed amid a great deal
Of chatting, the contracting par
ties still believing it to be a
joke.
The bride and bridegroom
went about their ordinary dut-
les and were no more to each
other than friends. Last night
MIR. Howard desired to call
upon 4 friend and announced
his intention at the Conner
cial Hotel, whel e he was board
ing. Father Curry, who was
at the table, accidentally heard
it and informed the young man
that he was legally married.
He went to the home of the
bride and the two are now liv-
mg together.

There IS only one sudden

among men
Herald and news. [volume] (West Randolph, Vt.) 1878-1943, 1896-12-24

A woman is sick; some disease pecu-
liar to her sex is last developing in her
system. She goes TO her family physi-
clan and tells him a story, but not the
story. She always holds something
back. loses her head, becomes agitated,
forgets what she wanted TO say, and
finally conceals what She ought TO have
told, and thus completely mystities
the doctor.
Is it any wonder, therefore, that the
doctor fails to cure the disease Still,
we cannot blame women, for it is very
embarrassing to detail some of the
symptoms of her suffering even TO her
family physician.
1t was for this reason that years ago
Mrs. Lydia +. Pinkham Of Lynn, Mass,
a woman of great experience and OBJ
servation, determined to step in and
help her SEX Having had considerable
experience in treating female ills with
her wonderful Vegetable Compound,
she encouraged the women OF America
to write TO her for advice in regard to
their complaints, and being woman it
was easy for her ailing sisters to pour
into her ears every detail Of their suf-
fering. In this way she was able to
do for them what the physicians were
unable to do, simply because she had
the proper information to work upon,
and from the little group of women
who sought her advice years ago great
army of her fellow-beings are to-day
constantly applying for advice and re-
lief, and the fact that more than one
hundred thousand of them have been
successfully treated by Mrs Pinkham
during the last year is indicative Of the
grand results which are produced by
her unequalled experience and training

with the Doctor.

Why Sister Mary Broke Her Engagement
with the Doctor.
When Sister Mary began il she in
tended it to be lamp mat, and the re.
eeiver was to be my Cousin Sarah.
Sister Mary is rather touchy about
some things, but never knew anything
TO affect her so severely as the mere
mention of that lamp mat does now.
In fact, l studiously refrain from all
mention of it unless particularly wish
20 rile her.
Cousin Sarah and Sister Mary are
about the same age. | shall not men
ton Sister Mary's age. as she is still
unmarried (having broken with the
doctor that Christmas), but ] think ]
am allowed to state that Cousin Sarah
was as last August, for, since she is mar
red, she is not so particular about con
cealing her years.
OF course Sister Mary would never
have attempted making a lamp mat
flor she had never crocheted one be-
fore) IL Cousin Sarah had not bought
the Dresden lamp, so blame the whole
trouble on the Dresden lamp.
The lamp mat began all right, with a
little round fat center. Sister Mary
got that finely. But as the size in
