NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-A luncheon in
honor of Chairman Mark A. Hanna, of
the republican national committee,
was given in the banquet hall of the
Equitable Building here today. The
host was Isaac NJ. Seligman and the
gueste included number of the most
prominent financiers in the city.
When the time for speaking came
Isaac M. Seligman urged the advisa-
bility of joint action in the future by
the republicans and national demo-
Gratis upon the currency question. lie
then called upon Mr.. Hanna, who spoke
at unusual length for him
Mr.. Hanna said he felt that he was
addressing an important body of New
York bankers and he spoke of the gen
eral work of the campaign. The pres
ent organization of the republican
party and also of the nsti nal demo-
cratic party. he understood, would re-
main in the field to further the work so
auspiciousiy begun. Mr.. Hanna said
also that the new administration
would begin its work without any
pledges and wholly untranelled in the
selection of a cabinet, a statement
which was heartily arplaujed.
Abram S. Hewitt, Gen. Horace Por-
ter, Carl Schurz and others also spoke.
The burden Of these addresses was
that after so many years Of stormy
discussion the country needed an ab-
solute rest from political agitation.

OR NATURES SYMPATHY.
For the Spectator and Vindicator.
On Nov. Sd, 1896. the South suffered
presidential defeat. The day following wa
one Of cloud and rain. Hence the following
lines:
With Southrons true the Southern skies
Their sympathizings show;
Whene'er our fortunes fall, OF rise,
They always seem to know.
To-day the Southland people weep,
Their hopes are blighted so;
In sorrowness, for words too deep,
Like rushes bowed they go.
And hence, all over hung with cloud,
Our skies are draped to-day;
And softly weep-no thunders loud
And, weeping, seem to say
'True-hearted ones. we hear your wall,

"The Right will in the end prevail,
And bottled are thy tears
"Some time thy mourning skies will clear
''And suns of splendor shinei

cure. The effects of such disorders are not
limited to mere local discomforts but ex-
tend over the whole body. Perhaps the
nerves are most affected, and this IN trrn
disturbs the digestion. After that there is
no telling what form the trouble may take.
With irritable nerves and poor digestion,
woman is on the straight road to the grave.
Women are notoriously negligent in mat
ters pertaining to their health. Too mary
of them understand too little about their
own physical makeup They do not uii-
derstand their possibilities Gr their hr1ite-
TONS and they do not know enough about
themselves to know when Z symptom il
really serious and when it is not. This nat
urallv makes them overlook the plainest
of danger signals The start of everything
is simple. The start of so-called " female
complaints - may be a very slight thing in
deed 1t may be that in the beginning
some small hygienic measures would stop
the trouble. Certainly at this time, little
bit of the right medicine would stop it.
When the trouble becomes worse, it is
harder to cure, but still it can be cured.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will posi-
lively cure any trouble of this character.
It may be absolutely relied upon. 1t affords
immediate and lasting relief to woman
whose natural modesty has kept her from
consulting physicians.
The whole story of the "Favorite Pre-
scriptio.,t' and what it has done for thou
sands of women is told in DR.. Pierce's
Common Sense Medical Adviser. This
is a 1908 page book, profuseiy illustrated,
written in plain language for the use of
everyday people, and gives in clear and
1rcid way an immense amount of valuable
formation about health and medicine. It

ever been previously convicted. The
