TALE WIITERS
An Efficient, but Cautiously Cosmopolitan

an Eihcient, but Cautiously Cosmopolitan
 Force in Downtown Restaurant.
 There are several restaurants in New Haven that cater largely to the Yale student trade. Tn summer vacation tune the falling off in their patronage IS very marked, necessitating laying off several of their service force. But as soon as the boys return in the fall the complexion of things changes decidedly. when therush begins force of student walters is put on to take care of the increase, In one such place on Center street, near Church, there are now three Yale walters and they hail from as many departments, viz, the Divinity school, the Law school and Sheffield Sclentillo school. Out in the kitchen there IS a cosmopolitan gathering in deed. The chef is colored man, his assistant is jolly Irishman, the vege- table cook .s an American woman and the charge d' afraires in the crockery ilne is subject of the mikado of Japan. Beside this force and the pro- prletor and his wife there are also three regular walters, one of them an ex- Delmonlco garcon and two very attrac- tive young lady waitresses.

THE CHINESE RAILROADS.
A New Director With Pro-British Sym.
 pathieS.

A New Director With Pro-British Sym
 pathies.
 Washington, Oct. 1.--Sheridan Read consul at Tien Tsin, reports to the state department that Hu Yunmee, governor or Peklng, has been appointed by im- perial edict to take charge of the Tien Isln-Shanhaikuan railroad. This is taken to mean that Shengtatotai has entirely lost his influence over railroad matters. The new director is known to lean towards Great Britain, and his ap- pointment to build the Manchurian lines, involving the raising of loan, is therefore significant, because these lines will closely connect with the Siberian road. It is suggested that the object of this move was to en- list British capital in northern China in order to weaken the influence of Russia in that quarter just as British influ- ence in central China has been weak ened by the Belgian loans negotiated by Sheng, for Belgium is believed to have been the agent of Russia in the transactions.

MOTHERHOOD.
Mrs. Pinkham Declares No Woman
 Need Despair.

There are many curable causes for sterility in women. One of the most common is general debility, accom- panied by peculiar condition of the blood.
 Write freely and fully to Mrs. Pink ham. Her address is Lynn, Mass. She will tell you, free of charge, the cause of your trouble and what course to take. Believe me, under right condi- tions, you have a fair chance to become the joyful mother of children. MRs. LUoY LITTLE, 255 Henderson St., Jersey City, N. J., certainly thinksso. She says;
 1T am more than proud of Lydia E. Pinkharn's Vegetable Compound, and cannot find words to express the good it has done me. I was troubled very badly with the leucorrhoea and severe womb pains. From the time l was married, in 1882, until last year, I was under the doctors care. We had no children. have had nearly every doctor in Jersey City, and have been to Belvin Hospital, but all to no avail. I saw Mrs. Pinkham's advertisement in the paper, and have used five bot ties of her medicine. It has done more for me than all the doctors I ever had It has stopped my pains, and has brought me a fine little girl. I have been well ever since my baby was born. I heartily recommend Mrs. Pinllha1n's rnad;c;ne to all women suffering from sterility."

The young married couple who are crown -d with good health are really king and queen. They are possessed of atl arrnor that enables them to withstand all the hardships and misfortunes of life. Accidents aside they will live long, happy lives of mutual alniable, healthy children. They will sit together in the twilight of old age and look back without regret over a mutually happy, helpful, useful, successful companionship.
 There are thousands of young couples every day who start welded life with but one drawback, ,-one or the other, or both, suffer from ill-health. There can be no true welded happiness that is overshadowed by the black cloud of physical suffering. The man who contemplates r1atrinony, and re- alizes that through overwork or worry or neglect, he is suffering from i'll health, should take the proper steps to remedy. it before he assumes the responsibilities of a husband. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis covery is the best of all medicines for men who have neglected their health. It makes the appetite keen, the digestion perfect, the liver active, and the blood pure and rich with life giving clements. 1t is the great blood-tnaker and hesh-builder. It invigor- ates and gives virility strength and vigor.
 No woman should wed while she suffers from weakness and disease in a wotnanly way These are the most disastrous of dis orders from which a woman can suffer. They break down her general health. They unfit her for wifehood and motherhood. They make her weak sickly, nervous in valid. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription cures all weakness and disease of the deli cate aud important organs that bear the bur dens of wifehood and motherhood It transforms weak, suffering, fretful invalids into healthy, happy wives and mothers. Both medicines are sold at all good med icine stores.

AN INTERESTING MENTAL CASE.
A Boy Conscious of Pressure on His
 Brain

A Boy Conscious of Pressure on His
 Brain.
 New York, Oct. 1.-The physicians Of the Bellevue hospital staff are very much interested in peculiar case that was turned over to them this morning by the staff of the Hudson Street hospi- tai. The case is Edward Coleman aged thirteen. who says that he lives at No. 69 Sumner avenue, Brooklyn. His par ents, who were French, are dead. Last night the boy turned up at the New York entrance of Brooklyn bridge, and attracted attention by barking like Q dog. He was sent to Hudson Street hospital by bridge policeman. This morning Dr. Rodman brought the lad to Bellevue While in the reception room he parked furiously. Dr. Dale of the insane pavilion examined him, and other physicians joined him. They were surprised that the boy talked so intel ligently It took him at least five min- utes before he could articulate a word properly, but when he did speak there were no signs of mental Arrangement. The lad declared that he felt that trephlning his skull would do him a world of good. It seemed to him, he said, as if a portion Of his skull was pressing against his brain. It took him almost an hour to make this statement, and the physicians did not care to press him further.
 They are amazed that boy of his years should be able to understand what is troubling him, and to speak of it so intelligibly Technically, the pressure of the bone of the skull on the brain is regarded as a cause of idiocy, but the physicians are loath to call this patient weakAminded. He was placed in the insane pavilion, where he will remain under observation for several days before they take any steps.

Alderman is at St. Luke's hospital with a bullet lodged immediately under the cuticle of his left breast The extent of his wound has not been definitely deter mined, but it is the belief of pr. R. F. Gray, the resident physician of the hos pital, that he will not die. The same bullet which cut a hole through Maloff' S left wrist ploughed it's way almost through the body of Alderman.

Washington, Oct. 1.-The cabinet meeting to-day was devoted almost en- tirely to the consideration of the Span ish situation and other foreign affairs. It was one of the longest meetings held since the advent of the present admin istration, lasting over two and half hours. The main subject of considera- tion was the present cabinet crisis in Spain and it's effect upon our relations with the Madrid government and our attitude toward Cuba
 It is believed that an important cable dispatch has been received from Minis ter Woodford, and that this formed the basis of the discussion. The members of the cabinet were extremely reticent, as they always are when matters of grave importance have been before them, but at the conclusion of the meet ing one of them said that the discus sion had not eventuated in anything definite, and that no immediate action would follow.

 A Ministry

a Ministry.
 Madrid, Oct 1.-The liberals are pre- pairing to give an ovation to Senor Sa- gasta, their leader, upon his arrival here to-day.

 It is not expected that the cabinet crisis will be ended for another week.
