men? Why is it that the
source of their highest joys is at the same
time the cause of their greatest wTctched-
ness? The very attributes which make it
possible for women to be happy wives and
mothers also render them liable to the ut
most physical misery and pain.
The sufferings of body and mind caused
by some weakness of the distinctly feminine
organs are so almost universal among wo-
men that the question might well be asked
" Is this Natures punishment for the crime
OF being woman Z"
The true answer is No! These sufTerings
are neither natural nor necessary They
would not exist if the organism was healthy.
No woman ought to endure such troubles
There is no need of it. Dr. Pierce's Favor
lite Prescription is a perfect and positive
cure for feminine weakness and disease.
1t gives health and strength to the spc-
cial organs and ncrve-centres; heals inhanl-

BUTCHERY IN CUBA.
An Insurgent Lieutenant Machet-
ed at Havana

KEY WEST (Fla.) Aug. 10.-Juan
Arson Quintero, the insurgent Lieu
tenant who surrendered lately at Pinar
del Rio, was taken from his home in the
Cerro, Havana, at the order of Inspec-
tor Cubas to the outskirts of the city
at Jesus del Monte and there macheted.
The Cubans of Key West have made
no demonstration over the death of
Canovas.
Marta Esperanza, a town in Santa
Clara province. was attacked again by
insurgents, who entered the town at 3
.. m and left at a. m, sacking all the
stores and taking merchandise, clothes,
drugs. money. etc. The Spanish forces
made resistance, but the insurgents de-
feated them with little difficulty. The
Spanish loss was heavy. The Cubans
lest one dead and several wounded. The
forces of General Montante came TO the
aid of the town, arriving one day late.
They took arms and ammunition from
the guerrillas who remained in the
town. although most of them had joined
the insurgents. Then they burned
about thirty houses belonging to Gu
bans. Calixto Alverez attacked and
sacked the towns of La Encrucijada,
Cruces and Placetas. The Spanish
forces made no resistance. These towns
are in the pacified province of Santa

WORK OF TRAIN WRECKERS.
Two Fast Freights Thrown From
the Track.

PHILLIPSBURG On. j., Aug. 10
Train wreckers have been at work
again on the Central Road of New Jer-
sey, and last night, for the fourth time
in as many months, accomplished the
wreck of two fast freight trains, block
ing the tracks until ) o'clock this morn
ing, and causing the loss of at least $780,
600.
About $50 O'Clock last night, as train
No. 41S was running fifty miles an hour,
on its way to New York, the engine
struck pile of ties just west of White
House.
The engine left the track and landed
down an embankment, a complete
wreck. Fourteen cars were also piled
up in confusion, and their contents
scattered along the track. Engineer
Shupp remained at his post, and mirac-
ulously escaped with his life. Conduc-
| tor Mattress was riding on the tank of
the engine and was seriously hurt. The
fireman jumped.
Before a f1agman could be sent out to
signal approaching trains. another fast
| freight, loaded wsth fish and peaches for
the market in the Lehigh Valley, ran
| into the debris. The engine and two
cars of fish were demolished. Engineer
lStrubble and Conductor Moynahan were
badly injured
| A watchman had been employed at
| White House to guard against the train
wreckers' attempts, but last Saturday
he was suspended, the railroad officials
evidently thinking the gang had left the
district.

and municipal ownership Of quasi-pub-
lie works, DIR. Hale said: There are
many obvious advantages I'M having
responsible government control and op-
crate all Of the franchises which use
public highways and supply public ne
cessities. 1t is we'll that the comfort
and convenience of the people who are
supplied by these monopolies be made
the paramount consideration. Strikes
and boycots, the bane OF street railway
systems, would thus be avoided or
minimized. l. believe this country is on
the eve of a. vast extension of municipal
ownership and control of systems to
supply light, heat, transportation, etc.
Perhaps there is danger of too sudden
and explosive a movement in this dl-
rection. Work of this kind requires
skill, industry and experience, and the
careful selection of men. The system
of reformed civil service which aims
to secure. and to a large extent sue
ceeds in securing, the best men for the
performance of public duties affords the
only economical and therefore the only
practical solution o. the problem OF
governmental administration of these
natural monopolies for the public good.

ELLIOTT CRITICISED.
The State Department Answers
Charges Against Foster.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-The State
Department has made a formal answer
to charges pending against Commits
sioner John w. Foster by Professor
Henry J. Elliott in his letter to AS
sistant Secretary Day. The statement
says:
Professor Elliott is not now, nor has
he been for several years past, con-
nected with the Smithsonian Institution
or any department of the Government.
In 1890 he made a report upon the seal
islands as am agent of the Treasury
Department., but it was so full of mac
curate statements, betrayed such
want of scientific knowledge, was so
hostile to the interests of the United
States and was written in such a pref
udiced spirit that Secretary Blaine de-
clined to send it to Congress or allow
it to be printed
Prom that date Professor Elliott
ceased to have any connection with
the Government, and the officials say
he has lost no opportunity to attack
any step taken by it on the sub
ject and to abuse all persons having
any official relation in sealing matt
His report was printed by the Brit
ish Government and was strongly re-
lied upon by the British counsel before
the tribunal to overthrow the position
Of the United States"

A GOOD STORY.
He Seemed Innocent, but He Knew
Something About Eggs.

I was sitting on keg Of nails in g.
West Virginia Mountain store watching
a native dickering with the merchant
over a trade of a basket of eggs for a
calico dress. After some time a bargain
was closed, the native walked out with
the dress in a bundle under his arm,
and I followed him.
1T isn't any business of mine,' said,
''but 1 was watching that trade, and
was surprised to see you let the eggs
go for the Dress
What for?'' he asked, in astonish-
ment, as he mounted his horse
How many eggs did you have?"
Basket full"
"How many dozen?'
Dunno. Can't count
That's where you miss the advan-
tages of education. With knowledge
you might have got two dresses for
those eggs'
But didn't want two dresses, mis-
ter he argued.
Perhaps not, but that was no reason
why you should have paid two prices
for one. The merchant got the advan-
tage of you because of his education.
He knew what he was about
He looked at me for a minute as if he
felt really sorry for me- Then he grin
ned and pulled his horse over close
to me.
''I reckon he whispered, casting fur
tive glances toward the store, his
eddication amt so much more'n mine
ez you think it is. He don't know how
much Nv them aigs is spilled, an 1 do"
and he rode away before I could argue
further.--Boston Herald

HE WAS TOO SLOW.
In the Opinion of the Newsboys He
Didn't Treat the Girl Right.

The Clark-street store was almost de-
serted, for it was too pleasant an even
ing for people to go purchasing The
proprietor had gone home, after telling
the young man to close up at 8, and
the young man was now sitting idly
near the door, gazing amiably upon the
new cashier an extremely pretty girl.
Three small newsboys trotted past
the door. They noted the idle young
man and the moon-struck glances
which he continued to shoot at the
cashier They halted and held con-
sultation. Presently the young man
arose, went to the little pulpit in which
the cashier was ensconced, and leaning
upon the counter, began to chatter.
This was the cue for the newsboys.
"Say, mister" howled the smallest of
the three. "Say, mister, goin' to kiss
her?"
The young man jumped up as if hit
with a tomato and the young lady's
face turned lobster pink. A moments
silence followed.
The conversation was renewed some
what hesitatingly.
"Say, mister!"-another voice from
outside-'eWhen are you goin' to kiss
her?"
The young man and the cashier were
purple with embarrassment and morti-
fication. People passing by stopped to
laugh at them. The boys said nothing
more and the young man cleared his
throat for another bit of conversation.
Say mister!" from the third boy
"why doncher kiss her? She's tired er
waiting"
The cashier put on her wraps and
the young man. with many lurid re-
marks, closed up the store.-Chicago

MONITOR COMANCHE.
Why Repair Work on the Old
Warship Was Cancelled.

WASHINGTON, Aug 10.-Inquiry at
the Navy Department regarding can
collation. of repair work ON the old mon
itor Comanche at the Mare Island Ma
Wy Yard shows that as a matter of
fact such work was not authorized by
the department. The Comanche, like
all other military or naval vessels
turned over to the naval nlalitia, is so
placed under condition that the organ
ization keeps the vessels in as good con-
dition as when she was received. I'm
der the law the department has no right
to spend a penny in repairs on such
craft. 1t will dock them, however, and
this was done to the Conanche at Mare
Island, and it is said that no other work
was authorized upon her

WHEAT ADVANCES.
A Good Day for the Bulls in the
Chicago Market.

CHICAGO, Aug 10.-Wheat fully re-
established it's reputation as a friend
to the bulls by the manner of it's open
ing. The first bids of September We're
at from 7714c to 773sc, and after fiuctu-
ating a few minutes between the open
ing figures and 771sc it commenced to
add a few larger fractions to the ad-
vance In half an hour from the OPEN
ing it had risen to 7Sc, and by IL o'clock
it was bringing 1890, or Use over the
previous days closing price.
The foreigners sent the most inf1uen-
tial news contributing to the strength
thus indicated Mail advices from
Paris were Of the most bullish charac-
ter. and cablegrams reporting the i'm
mediate situation showed that since ten
days ago the French market situation
had become strong enough to be char
acterized as excited" An advance in
wheat of from % centimes to 40
| centimes, or the equivalent of from
11Ac to 23sc per bushei, coming after
a long series of similar jumps, appeared
to warrant the strong adjective en-
ployed by the sender. Liverpool opened
34d higher and rose to 19sd for future,
and 1lad for spot In addition to the
strong tenor Oh IOT6lSH news, llhS lIlAOA :

a. character to diminish the bullish eff
feet of the others.
The spring wheat in Minnesota and

ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE.
PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONvEN-
TION AT DETROIT.
DR.. VIM. III. Hale, in an Address on
Civil Service Reform, Criticises
Gov. Black of New York.

DETROIT, Aug. 10-Members of the
American Association for the Advance
ment of Science were still arriving when
the days session began The general
council, after a short morning session,
adjourned till night. The botanical
branch elected officers to fill vacancies.
J. J. Davis of Racine, Wis, was named
as President, and F. F. Woods of WASH
ington as Secretary.
Proceedings We're enlivened by a crit
icism of Governor Black by William H.
Hale, Phi. D., of Brooklyn, before the
section of social and economic science.
Dr. Hale's subject was Civil Service
Reform" He said in part:
Last year at Buffalo 1 presented to
the association discussion of the cur
rency question, and later l had the sat
isfaction that the people of the United
States, by an emphatic vote, adopted the
view for which 1 then contended. At
the same time a great political party,
holding what I regard as sound views
upon this question, was convened for
the purpose of nominating a candidate
for Governor of New York, and Sc
lected for this office a. young man. This
man. Frank S. Black, an alien of the
State by birth and a recent settler in
it. was destined to fill the chief execu-
tive office, and to become the most bit
ter and formidable opponent that the
merit system ever met.
For several decades there has been
gradually growing up in England and
America a system of testing by conn
petitive examinations the fitness of per-
sons IL be appointed to public office.
Results have been in the main salts
factory to the taxpayers and distaste-
ful to professional politicians who look
upon public office as spoils, and upon
taxpayers as fit subjects to plunder.
The system was adopted to a limited
extent by the State of New York in
1883, long before the advent OF Black
within our borders, and steadily in
creased in efficiency and in favor with
the people.
Governor Black signalized his ac-
cession to office by enlbodying in his
annual message to lie Legislature a
recommendation that legislation be had
that would authorize the appointment
of employees in the civil service at
the foot of the list first, which is evil
IDENTIFY forbidden by the constitution.
The Legislature had not the temer1ty to
carry out this audacious suggestion,
but near the close of the session they
passed a bill which the Governor pre-
pared, providing that examinations for
merit should be had by the Civil Ser
vice Commission, and should count only
80 per cent, and that examinations for
the fitness should be held by persons
holding the power of making appoint
ment. and should also count % per
cent, and that the total percentage of
persons examined should be ascertained
by adding the results Of both examina-
| tions. The rules when finally adopted
had been so modified at Governor
Blacks suggestion as to assist spoils-
men TO the full extent permitted by the
examination, if ont more.
Referring to the relationship Of civil
service reform to the question of State
