Several months ago, Miss Cora Watrous,
the siXteen-year-old daughter of Mr.. /. c..
Watrous locomotive fireman, of 81 Clarion
Street, Bradford, Penna., was seized with a
nervous disorder which threatened to end
her life. The first symptom of the ailment
was a loss of appetite. For some little time
Miss Watrous had no desire to eat and COM
planned of a feeling of extreme lassitude.
This was followed by severe pains in the
head. For three weeks the young lady was
nearly eraZed with a terrible headache and
nothing could be procured to give her relief.
Finally, after trying numerous remedies,
a physician was called and began treating
the patient. He said the trouble was
caused by impoverished blood, but after
several weeks of his treatment the young
lady's condition had not improved and the
parents decided to procure the services of
another physician. In the meantime Miss
Watrous' nervousness had increased, the
pains in her head had grown more severe
and the sufferers parents had almost given
uD hope of her recovery.
It was at this time that Mr.. Watrous heard
of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
He found that the pills were highly recon-
mended for nervous disorders and concluded
to give them trial. A box of the pills was
purchased and before they had all been taken
there was a marked Improvement in the
girls condition. After a half dozen boxes
had been used the young lady's appetite had
returned, the pain in her head had ceased
and she was stronger than at any time pre-
vious to her illness.

Miss Watrous concluded that her cure was
complete and left home for a visit to relatives
in the grape country near Dunkirk, n. Y.
She stopped taking the medicine and by
over-exertion brought the ailment back again.
As soon as the returning symptoms were felt,
Miss Watrous secured another box of pills and
the illness was soon driven away. She is now
in better physical condition than she has been
for years and declares that she owes her life to
DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
Mr.. and Mrs Watrous were interviewed
by n reporter at their home on Clarion
Street. Both are loud in their praises of
Pink Pills. My daughters life was saved
by the medicine said Mrs. Watrous. "Her
condition was almost hopeless when she com
menced taking them, but she is as strong
and healthy as any one could be. l cannot
recommend the medicine too highly"
An analysis of DR. Williams Pink Pills
shows that they contain, in a condensed form,
all the elements necessary to give new life and
richness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They are an untailing specific for
such diseases as locomOtOr ataxia, partial
paralysis, st. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia,
rheumatism, nervous headache, the after eff
fects of la grippe palpitation of the heart, pale
and sallow compilations, all forms of weakness
either in male or female, and all diseases re-
sulhng from vitiated humors in the blood.
Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, or will be
sent post paid on receipt of price, so cents

crate. Aside from palms and plants, of

orchestras will finish the remainder of
the ball programme after the IA band
numbers.
AS a feature of comfort at the ball,
electric fans in sufficient number to ma
terially affect the atmosphere will be
placed al different locations in the hall.

ing unusual interest in the big May
ball, and Mrs. Sutton, who originated
the idea of holding it, is well pleased
with the promise of the event proving
great success. 1t will practically be
repetition in every way of the Charity
ball of last winter.

Japan's Protest Against Hawaiian
Annexation.
Public Opinion.l

Public Opinion.
The question for other Powers to
answer is not, What right has the
United States to annex Hawaii IT
is: Has not Hawaii the right to an
mex herself to the United States, il
she deems it to be to her interest to
do so?-New York Mail and Express
(Rep.)
In the case OF Hawaii it must be
conceded that while the particular
treaty of Hawaii with japan may no
longer hold as treaty OF the Unit
ed States, all the rights OF Japanese
subjects already acquired under the
treaty will be entitled to protection.
The Japanese contention that the
treaty entered into, subject to
mutual abrogation, must continue
in force until she assents to it's an.
nulment is less well-iounded. Treat
les once executed and carried into
effect are irrevocable. But all other
treaties are necessarily Of uncertain
and contingent duration. Treaties
which are declared to be perpetual
may be broken within year. Mr..
jays famous treaty with Great Bri-
tain provided in the strongest terms
for perpetual peace and amity" be-
tween the two countries, but that
did not prevent war from following
in 1872. 1t is a fundamental prin-
ciple that treaties intended to be
operative in the future continue to
be binding only 80 long as the con-
tracing parties and conditions re-
main the same. With the disappear
ance OF Hawaii as an independent
State her treaties as such would dis
appear with her. Only the rights
acquired under such treaties would
remain and would demand recogni-
ton and protection, and this, we
take it, is the extent OF Japan's
claim.-Baltin,ore Sun Qnd.)
