Charges of Conspiracy TO En-

Upon the StateInan's Welfare.
Iutrigues of Subordinates.

New York, Aug. 12.-At a gathering of
politicians in the fifth Avenue Hotel lagt
night, il was charged by a Congressman.
who has an eye for the seamy side OF poll
tics here end in Washington lately, that
Secretary OF STATE John sherman is being
systematically hounded out OF office, Ger.
tain of his subordinates and OppoTtuniSt
politicians having entered a conspiracy 10
compass his downfall.
Asked by your correspondent if this
charge was not . little wild, the Congress
man answered:
"l'm lot looking for personal en
counter with the State Department, so
leave mc out. The well-knuwn acts ia
tne cas-. are strong enough 20 stand Tor
themselves and substantiate the charge
In the first place, as everybody Knows,
Sherman was taken out of the Senate ana
placed in the Cabinet to meet certain e1L
gencies in Ohio politics. This made
had start. Big and little politicians, frO'a
a former candidate for Vice President
who wanted To succeed him to irreSton
sible subordinates who We're ca ger to show
aow mach dust they could kick up, saw
an advantage Ia Shernan's retirement
Hardly had Sherman settled in his
chair when the unscrupulous intrigue wdh
IN full play. Stories about his lack of meme
ory and gailius powers were circulated
to prove this. State, Secretary and oouii-
dental Information leaked out of the State
Department like water through n sieve
OF course, Sherman was blamed for it.
Then the sherman interviews. In tue
first place the chief harm of them is the
way they are treated in the State Depart
rnent itself, dark hints at once being given
out that really Sherman is not responsible
Later he is tad dgercdinto adenial, or rather
the statement is sent out that he has
denied them, and the whole affair is made
ndicelous.
..Do YOU notice how full of hard sense
the interviews really are? The more IN
diplomatic phrases are sometimes stuck
IL by newspapers who know SlHerman's
xlperseTvicratle friends VIII deny them,
anyhow Even on the score Of lack Of
diplomacy. tie only thing calculated 10
make trouble was the secret Bering Sea
correspond lance, which Sherman never made
putlic 1T all. hut wah allowed TO leak out
by a Subordinate, whose desire for eX-
Citemant and TO put his chief in a hole
were about equal
"Sherman's enemies have almost sue
ceeded in making pitiful figure OF u really
great man But, mark my words, he will
stay in office to confound his enemies and
yindicate the confidence rcposed in him by
his friends He's the noblest Roman OF
them all, and the way he is being per
secuted is an outrage and a national dis
grace"

little idea of the duties of rnatrimony and
maternity. They approach motherhood
with considerable fear. They have learned
in a vague way that the baby's coming means
pain and danger. Few of them have been
told that these things are of the past. Pain
and danger are no longer necessary. By the
regular use of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton during the expectant period safety,
comfort and health are assured for both
mother and child.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is for
the cure of all diseases distinctly feminine,
and for the invigoration of already healthy
organs in time of unusual strain. 1t pro-
notes regularity and relieves periodical
pains and discomforfs. II has saved the
lives of thousands of women, as their own
testimony proves. Taken from among thou-
sands like it is this letter which tells what
one woman has experienced:

writes: I'VE believe in the merits of Dr. Pierce's
family medicines Ny wife was troubled with
female weakness. and two bottles of DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription, together with the Golden
Medical Discovery cured her. During the pc
riod Of CESSATION my wife continued the of the
Discovery and for perhaps four months pre-
vious to the birth of our child she also took the

He is Professor Hargett. Still further
no claims that the lines Of the hand
show whether marriage in the past
ended in divorce, and which party it
