FANcIEs IN JEWELS.

A beautiful tiara being shown in
London was all diamond leaves and
scrolls lightly put together topped by
single large pear-shaped diamonds.
One London shop attracts fair GUS
toners with a magnificent brown dia-
mond-a rare stone-set in large single
diamonds. It can be worn as a brooch
or a pendant.
One of the large fat gold hearts
which have been worn abroad so much
this season, had set in it an Indian en-
erald set around with an old French
design in diamonds.
The newest watches are gold, with
colored dials mounted by the side of a
compass or a calendar to match the
size of the watch on curb chain, and
they are called Jumelle bracelets.
The most up-to-date chains are
formed of alternate rubies, sapphires
and diamonds, set so closely that little
of the chain is seen. Some of them
have suspended fine gold chain-bag
purses with bayonet tops in gold cen
tered with a massive cabochon ruby set
in diamonds.
A lovely little diamond peacock bal
ancing on q single pearl has cabochon
rubies in it's outspread tail, and the
tiniest emeralds in its crest; and q
splendid curved diamond buckle, with
diamond prongs, has been one of the
favorite corsage ornaments this season.
For men, links and studs of star-stones
in different shades, trimmed with dia-
monds, are the thing and the stars show
up brightly at night.

THE ANNEXATION TREATY.

Haste to Secure Ratificatio Does Not Inn.
ply an Extra Session of Congress.
WASHINGTON, Sept. There is no
disposition among officials here to
question the correctness of the state
ment in the dispatches from Hawaii to
the effect that Minister Hatch hurried
to Honolulu with the special purpose
of securing annexation action by the
Hawaiian government in advance of
the meeting of our congress
There is no rule in diplomatic prac-
tice that would forbid Hawaii first act
ing upon the treaty. and the treaty it.
self does not indicate which govern
ment is to take the initiative in the
ratification. While it is regarded as
desirable in the execution of the policy
of President Mckinley toward Hawaii
as laid down in his message transmit
ing the treaty to congress. last June,
that the document should be ready in
all respects for the action of the United
States senate at its next session, it is
pot believed that the president has
any intention of calling a special ses-
sion for the purpose of ratification.
Indeed, considering the fact that if
the Hawaiian legislature acts with the
greatest promptness upon the treaty,
it can scarcely complete its action
and return the ratified convention to
Washington before October at the
earliest, it would appear to be unnec-
esSary to advance the session of con-
gress by such a short space of time as
would intervene between that date
and the date upon which congress
meets in regular session.

USEFUL MICROBES.
Now Used by Scientists to Combs
PlnEuea of Yermin.

Now Used by Scientists to Combat
Plaques of Vermin.
Perhaps one of the most remarkable
uses to which bacteria have been put
is that of vermin eXterminators or poi
soning agents. 1t was in the year 1885
that Prof. Loeffier, while experiment.
ing with mice in his laboratory al
Griefswald, discovered a micro-organ
ism which was extremely fatal to al
kinds of mice. The happy idea oc'
CURED to the professor that this letha,
little microbe, which he christened
Bacillus typhi murium, might be
turned to excellent account in combat.
ing plaques of field mice in grain fields
where the devastation committed by
these voracious rodents had become in
parts of Greece and Russia a serious
source OF ross to agriculturists. Ex-
periments were accordingly made on
a small scale to test the efficiency of this
bacterial poisoner in destroying field
mice, and so successful were the re-
suits that Loetfler confidently an
nounced the possibility of keeping
down these pests by distributing food
material infected with these bacteria
over fields which were invaded by them
The Greek government took up the
question, and Loeffler's method was ap-
piled with brilliant results; the dis.
ease was disseminated with extraordi-
nary rapidity and severity, and the
mice were readily destroyed.
The idea was not original, for Pas
teur had already, in 1888, suggested to
in Australia that chicken-cholera mi
crobes should be employed for destroy
ing the rabbits, which then as now are
such a source of difficulty and pecuni-
ary loss to the country. No active meas
ures appear to have been taken, how.
ever, to carry out this suggestion, one
of the principal objections raised be-
ing the undesirability of introducing
a disease which was at that time be-
lieved to be a stranger to the colony.
Quite recently, within the past year,
the idea has been revived by Mr.. Pound,
the government bacteriologist at Bris-
bane, in consequence of his discovery
that chicken cholera, far from not exist
ing in Australia, has infested poultry
yards more or less extensively for sew
eral years past, although it has only
recently been diagnosed as such. This
chicken cholera microbe In particularly
well suited for the work in question,
inasmuch as, while extremely fatal to
rabbits, it is without any effect what
ever on farm stock of various kinds,
and is perfectly harmless to man, so
that its handling by the uninitiated is
not attended with any personal danger

The ooILvIE SURVEY,

Which Places the Klondfke Safely In Brit
Ish Territory, Practically the Correct
Boundary Line Betweea Alaska and the
British Northwest Territory-No LIkeIi-
hood of Trouble ia Settling the Ques-
ton.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-Gen. Duff ED,
superintendent of the coast and geodet-
ic survey, who has been prominently
identified in determining the line be-
tween Alaska and the British North
west territory, is not impressed with
the probability of trouble between
this government and Great Britain
over the location of the KIondike gold
fields.
lit is true" he said, when shown the
dispatch from Port Townsend, quoting
deputy United States marshal as say
ing, in effect, that the United States
would assume control over that sec
ton, that the location of the line be-
tween the two countries has not yet
been formally accepted. but the location
has been very definitely determined.
The one hundred and forty-first me-
ridian was designated as the boundary
between Russia and Great Britain, and
nothing remained after our acceptance
of that understanding but to locate
the meridian. The location was made
on the north at Porcupine river by our
surveyors, and in the vicinity of the
Yukon by the Canadians under Ogilvie.
and their work was there checked by
our men. We found that where Ogil-
vie's line crossed FoSty-Mile creek it
was 15-1O0 of a second, or six feet and
nine inches, too far east, and when it
crossed the Yukon it was IA seconds,
or 61S feet, too far west.
''Thus it may be seen that the line
as located by OgiIvie is substantially
correct. There is no possibility of an
error the correction of which could
place the new gold region in American
territory. At the nearest point Daw-
son City is so miles on the Canadian
side of the Ogilvie line.
IF the treaty now before the senate
providing for fixing the boundary is
ratified, commission will be appointed
to perform this duty. It is considered
more than probable that the Ogilvie
survey will be accepted.

THE CIVIL SERVICE LAW
Test Case by Postal Employe Who Re
fuses to be Removed.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 3.-John C.
Woods, superintendent of mails at the
Louisville (Ky.) post office yesterday
brought suit against Postmaster-Gen-
eral Gary and the post Office depart
ment authorities to prevent them from
removing him from the service. The
case probably will be test of the
power to remove a government official
embraced within the civil service rules.
Woods was notified that his services
would be dispensed with and refused
to resign. He has now asked for an
injunction to prevent his removal.
The court has issued a temporary re-
straining order to protect his rights.
At the postotfice department it is
stated that the office of superintendent
of mails, which Woods is seeking to
keep, is uniformly filed by details OF
employees of the railroad mail service.
This is in the nature of temporary
promotion, and the order against
which Woods complains directed him
to resume" his former run in that
service. With this notification to
Woods to return to his former work
was the formal detail of Clerk O'Don-
nell to succeed him as superintendent.
The restraining order issued by Judge
Bingham was served on Postmaster
General Gary and First Assistant Post
master General Heath.

WHY so MANY REGULAR
PHYSICIANS FAIL
To Cure Female me-Some True
Reasons Why Mrs Pinkham
IL More Successful Than
the Family Doctors

A woman is sick; some disease pecu-
liar 10 her sex is fast developing in her
system She goes TO her family physi-
clan and tells him story, but not tie
whole story
She holds something back, loses her
head, becomes agitated, forgets what
she wants to say, and finally conceals
what she ought to have told. and thus
completely lnystifies the doctor.
Is il any wonder, therefore, that the
doctor fails to cure the disease? Still,
we cannot blame the woman, 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. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass,
determined to step in and help her
sex. Having had considerable ex-
perience in treating female ills with
her Vegetable Compound, she encour-
aged the women of America TO write
TO her for advice in regard to their
complaints, and, being a woman, 1t
was easy for her ailing sisters to pour
into her ears every detail of their suf-
fering. Over one hundred thousand
women were successfully treated by
Mrs. Pinlxham last year. Such are the
grand results of her experience.
