Some Valuable Statistics in Regard
to This Period.
lydia E. Pinkham'S Vegetable Compound
Found To Be Then of Great Assistance-Mrs.
NE Kriners Personal Experience Told for
the Benefit of Women in Similar Condition.

1t Is said that the turn of life is the
most important period in a woman''
existence, and owing to modern meth
eds of living not more than one woman
out of thousand approaches this per
fectly natural change without expert
oncing train of very annoying and
sometimes painful symptoms
Those dreadful hot flashes, sending
the blood surging to the head until il
seems ready to burst, and the faint
feeling that follows, as if the heart
were going TO stop, are symptoms OF
dangerous nervous trouble.
The hot flashes are just so many calls
from nature for help. At this time
Lydia L. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound will be of great value, as the
following letter from Mrs. Kriner in
dicates. The Vegetable Compound is
n tonic especially prepared to act upon
the female generative organs. 1t in
vigorates and strengthens those organs
in such n manner as to build up the
weakened nervous system, and enables
y woman to pass that troublesome
period triumphantly.
Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass, is al
ways glad to answer any personal let
tiers, and it is well for any woman
who is in doubt about her condition TO
write to Mrs. Pinlham and get a thor
ough analysis of her case, and advice
about what TO do.

operating the Ogdensburg and Lax c
Champlain railroad. Charles Parsons
of New York city, formerly president
OF the Rome, Watertown and Ogdens-
burg railroad, has been appointed re-

the detailed facts.
Henry Bolton of Troy met his death
Monday afternoon of last week in a
shocking manner. He had charge of
the grinding and went to the mill at
O'Clock, started the water wheel,
lighted lantern and went down
under the mill, setting the lantern on
the stairs where it was seen when
looking for the body,which was found
revolving on shaft that had caught
Mr.. Bolton by his coat. The mill
was stopped and the body, which
was terribly crushed, was taken into
the mill, where slight respirations
were seen for few moments.

Howery, closing period of his speech,
"and assort them out among yourselves
afterwards"
Ye. quite recently the secretary of
,he navy has shown that he remcm-
bers some, az least, of those who re-
ceived their diplomas from him. One
of them, about whose blue l'bboned
certificate of graduation there was some
confusion, lives in Washington. As
neither had seen the other for years, the
graduate naturally hesitated to intrudc
upon the new cabinet minister, and yet
before he had been in office a mouth the
new secretary himself renewed the ac
quaintance.
Dear Albert" he wrote, among otEcr
things, in a letter to the graduate, why
haven't you been to see me?"
The secretary of the navy is a lib
eral in religion. His old home is one of
the early Unitarian towns of New Eng
land. There is the old church, organ
zed In 1898, worshiping in its present
cdiflce since 1856, the longest record of
continuous occupancy in the country,
church in which old DR., Gray, Uni
tartan earlier than Claiming, used 10
preach And there is another, the New
North" which THE Governor" attends
when in bingham, founded by secedcrs
from the church, who believed that
"Parson Richardson" (who preached GO
years and went to eongress) was dab
bling in politics too much. So it was
natural enough that Mr.. Long should
become president of the American Uni
tartan association, and should now be
found each Sunday in Washington,

ator Morrill,, of Vermont, keeps him
company, and Senator Chandler. of New

Interesting Anecdotes About the
Present Secretary Of tho Navy
Connection with Local Affairs of Hing
ham. Mnss.-Chnirnau of school
COmmittee-Town Moderator
An Acquaintance Renewed.

1t is in bingham, Mass, that you
may pick up most gossip about ex-
Gov. Long, now secretary of the navy,
for bingham has known him ever since,
like John a. Andrew, another Boston
lawyer who became governor of the
state, he married bingham girl, and
settled down to live there.
Very soon after becoming a resident
Of bingham he began to take an active
interest in Ilngham's affairs, and it
WAS not long before ii was agreed that
he was the best man to act as the mod
orator of the annual town meeting, and
to serve as chairman of the school COM
nitbee. When nun achieves these
places in u New England town, he may
fQirly be considered one of the leading
citizcns-one of the pillars of society.
This Mr.. Long understood, and the du-
ties chat were thus thrust upon him he
strove earnestly to perform with credit,
just as he is now striving to be good
secretary of the navy.
Perhaps it was us chairman of the
school committee that he shone with
most effulgcuce in those old days, since
in that capacity it fell upon him every
year to present the diplomas to the
graduating class Of the high school.
His annual address on graduating day
was always thing of real literary
grace, but when it came to the actual
presentation of the diplomas he used to
avoid certain rather necessary detail,
in order, perhaps, to hide the fact that
he did not personally know all the
members of the class.
Each of You take one-the first one
you come to-" he used TO whisper to the

Neglecting Their Work.
From the Wilkesbarrc Leader.

From the Wilkesburre Leader
There is a great deal Of complaint
these days about people who hold posi-
tions of responsibility either public or
private that they arc neglcctng their
duties, thus tending to demoralize the
service in which they are employed.
County officials who are paid very high
salaries seem to know little or nothing
about the affairs Of their Office and a
man can call at a county office day in
and day out only to learn that the Off
cial for whom he is in search ''has lust
gone out, ''is out of town." "has not
come in yet or some other inadeqnatn
reason given for his non-appearance.
Many of tho chief clerks in county
Offices, who are really the officials that
transact business, follow the example o.
their superiors and also absent them
selves without cause. Many of these
clerks owe their position to activity in
politics and they keep up that activity
at the expense of the taxpayers.
1t is a well known fact that in tie
court house one certain chief clerk is
more conspicuous by his absence than
his presence. Go into the Office day af-
ter day, inquire for him and the answer
is he has just stepped ont, when as a
matter of fact he has not set foot in the
office for a week. Other clerks can be
met in the corridors talking with local
or country statesmen, or perhaps you
are told when asking for them that they
are attending some celebration or Re-
publican gathering instead Of attending
to the duties for which they are paid.

Intention to become citizen?

Shelly, Pa, July 13, 1897.
The so-called alien tax law imposes
no tax on aliens. 1t taxes the employ
ers of aliens "three cents day for
each day each of such foreign-born
unnaturalized male persons may be
employed" That alien may have de-
clared his intention and may have paid
township or other taxes. 1t makes no
difference. If man employs an alien
he must pay the three-cent tax. After
doing that the law allows such employers
to deduct the amount Of the tax from
the aliens wages.
So long as aliens are permitted to
come to the United States they have the
right to the equal protection of its laws
No state can keep them out of its
borders, neither can it rightfuly ban
ish them from it's limits by prevent
ing or discouraging their employment,
as this bill attempts to do. The United
States government alone can deal with
aliens. and this law of PENNSYLVANIA
which attempts to put all aliens under
boycott by making their employment
burdensome to the employer is uSurpa-
tion of power and an interference with
the exclusive federal control of immigra-
ton
Some public-spirited employer should
resist this law and take it into court for
adjudication. As, however, employers
are given the right to shift the burden
OF this alien tax upon their alien en-
ployes, it is for the interest of the latter
to take the act into court for review.
An alien by the name Of Frazer has
already done this in Pittsburg We do
not believe the state courts will sustain
the law. We are confident that the
United States courts will declare it void
without moments hesitation.

riege, Pierce, is about the liveliest ten
year-old youpgster in Massachusetts,.
Long enjoys smoking almost us much
as Mckinley, and it may be that this
community of taste as to tobacco, in
spite of the fact that the present secre-
tary preferred the flavor of u corn-cob
pipe to that of the black Havana chosen
by the president, helped to draw them
together when they were both in con-
grcss. At all events they were very
chummy, and there is no doubt that it
was largely because of this former in
timacy between the two that the presi
dent gave the navy portfolio to the
Massachusetts man.
The fact that Governor" Long is
short and stout undoubtedly adds
somewhat TO the antique appearance of
his now celebrated plug hat. 1t is not
that the hat is so very old nor so very
ill-shaped; in fact, it is fairly modern
looking. But it sits well down on the
governors massive head, and as his

Mr. Long doubtless considers Cf he

of the navy who has never been to sea;
and neither his friends nor the general
public will probably think any the less
of him because of such an exhibition of
