A NECKLACE OF PEARLS

Is beautiful possession. If woman owns
one, and if a single pearl drops off the string,
she makes haste to find and restore it.
Good health is a more valuable possession
than necklace of the most beautiful pearls,
yet one by one the jewels of health slip away,
and women seem Indifferent until it is almost
too late, and they cannot be restored.
To die before you are really old is to suffer
premature death, and that is sin. 1t is a sin
because it is the result of repeated violations
of natures laws.
Pain, lassitude and WEAKNESS, inability to
sleep, dreadful dreams, starting violently from
sleep, are all symptoms of nerve trouble
You cannot have nerve trouble and keep
your health. In ninety mine cases out of a
hundred the womb, the ovaries and the bladder
are affected. They are not vital organs, hence

CIGARETTE LAW.
An Effort Made to Secure
Its Enforcement.
A Committee Of the w. 6. T. u.
Called Upon Mayor Davis.
Chief Rice Called In Consultation and To.
bacco Dealers Will Be Watched.

A delegation from the w. G. T. u. called
upon Mayor Davis today in regard to en-
forcing the law against the selling OF Gig
arettes to minors. The law was passed In
1894, and they laid great stress upon the
fact that no effort had been made in this
city to prevent this deadly practice.
They pointed to the work being done by
the Police Department in Providence In
curtailing the output of cigarettes, and In
conclusion they asked His Honor to take
decisive steps TO stop the sale to minors in
this city.
Mayor Davis sent for Chief of Police Rice
and consultation was held.
In all probability the result OF this con-
ference will be q determined crusade
against the violation of this law.

attendance, for 1t was In advance of many
performances with professional TALENT
The pupils showed the careful training not
alone In voice, but In their stage presence,
and In the grace and ease of their every
movement. The different parts of the pro-
gram furnished a charming variety, giving
each individual chance to appear In that
which they excelled. The staging of the
scenes from Shakespeare and the costum-

Aside from the recitations, which were
OF uniform excellence, the singing and

Bernice Carey, juveniles, was received
with hearty applause. Miss Jeanette Car

all the abandon and ease of veterans.

ASPECT LESS PEACEFUL.
Turkey Continues Sending Troops Into Thessal7.
Other Adyic(s.

London, May 26.-The aspect of East
ern affairs Is less peaceful. Turkey is
sending 1000 more troops to Thessaly.
and it is said that the sultan has prom
ised his ministers not to relax his hold
upon that province.
The note of the powers certainly does
not yield on a single point, and states
even that the peace conference must be
held at Constantinople and not at Phar-
salos, but the sincerity of both Germany
and Russia is doubted, and any sign OF
dissension among the powers increases
obstinacy on the part of the sultan.
1t is reported from Vienna that En-
peror Nicholas has advised King George,
for his own safety, to appoint military
governor with exceptional powers, and
to concentrate 5000 picked troops at
Athens.
A dispatch 60 The Standard from Ber-
lin says that the powers, including
Turkey, have assented to the appoint
rnent of Prince Francis Joseph Of Bat
.tenberg as governor general of Crete.

STRIKE OF EMPLOYEES.

The Bristol Factory OF the United states
Rubber Company Docks Pay.
Between 500 and 600 employees of the
Bristol factory of the United States Rubber
Company began a strike yesterday after
noon. The trouble began among the
women and girls employed on lawn tennis
shoes.
The strike was caused by the enforcement
OF an order compelling the shoemakers to
lose pay for ehoes that were blistered In
the curing, which, the foreman of the
room claimed, was due to poor workman
ship. The shoemakers, on the other hand,
claimed that 1t was the fault of the poor
stock and of the damp weather, which
affects poor rubber to some extent in the
process of manufacturing.
Superintendent Schlosser will investigate
the complaints, In which there is consider
able feeling. Little work remains to be
done and few orders are being received; 1t
appears to be an unfortunate time for the
employees.

arrested by Special Officer Pilling on Sat-
urday evening and released because there
was no charge to present against him, to-
day called at the Mayors Office and pre-
sented petition asking for the revocation
of Special Officer Pilling's commission.
The charges are to the effect that Pilling
was under the influence OF liquor on Sat-
urday evening and made an arrest without

tive to the matter and stated that he in
tended to prefer charges against Pilling
