who is not fitted by good health for that position and for the responsibili- ties of motherhood. If woman suffers from weakness and disease of the organs that make wifehood and motherhood pos sible, she should remedy these conditions before assuming the responsibilities of a wife. Otherwise, she stands little chance of proving a happy and capable wife, and motherhood will always menace her with the terrors of death.
 A sure and quick cure for all weak ness and disease that units woman for matrirnony and maternity is found in Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It acts directly and only on the organs involved. It makes them strong and healthy. It cures all weakness and disease. It pre- pares for wifehood and motherhood. Taken during the expectant period it makes baby's coming easy and compara- lively painless. It insures the health of the child. Thousands of women ,,i-are testified to its merits. Druggists sell it.
 "I have found great relief since taking your sFayorite Prescription" writes Mrs Henry Barlow. of Lonsdale. Providence co. R. I. "I was all broken down from nervous prostration. Since taking your medicine have had more re lief than from all the doctors medicines-which cost me more than could af3ord."

LABOR CONVENTION ENDED lncendiary Speeches Marked the
 Closing Exercises. THE USE OF ARMS URGED By the Chairman, Who Said Guns Should Be Met With Gune-Free Silver Plat
 form Endorsed.

Chicago, Sept 29.-The three days sessfon of the labor convention ended this afternoon in a climax of incendiary speeches. M. M. Bannister of St. Louis, chairman of the convention, resigned the gavel to introduce a resolution ad- vising strikers in general to arm them selves for resistance when necessary. B. R. Creedon, of Idaho, was one of the most radical speakers. He said:
 "The time has come for radical meas will make the St. Louis convention the largest gathering of working men in the history of the world. Every advance of the human race has been gained with guns, and we must use them. The reso- lution is the best thing that has ever been introduced into the convention. It is what my people expected"
 M. r. Mccarthy. of Chicago. opposed the resolution on the ground that 1t was not policy to alarm the people of this country. He said:
 Gen. Miles has already asked that
 
 the army be increased to 225000 men, ard we don't want to give the people any warning before we go at them or that recommendation will be followed. It is poor policy to discuss this in an open convention, because we can never beat the capitalists if we allow them to prepare. We must catch them before they are ready
 M. M. Bannister, in speaking in de- fenae of his resolution, said that it was n.e Int that arms should be met with arms. This convention, he declared, would never have been called had 1t not been for the Hazelton murders. and some ac- tion must be taken
 A motion to lay the matter on the table was carried after McCarthys speech about its being poor policy.
 The western delegates secured a free silver amendment to the platform.
 They said they were empowered to announce that if it was not passed not a cent more of money would come out of the west to assist the eastern men in strikes and other troubles.

London, Sept. S0--Thh correspondent Of the Times at Athens, says: It is gen. erally believed that the government will resign tomorrow, Thursday, at the st. ting of the bouie. In any case several of the ministers are unwilling to remain in power. On the other hand it is be- fieved that a Delyannis ministry will not be accepted by King George and the nation at the present moment. Hence M.

It is expected that the chamber will ac- cept the peace tTaaty unanimously, pub lie excitement on the question having quite subsided.

THE HOUSTON CASE
Said to Be Malaria or Dengue-Expert PhySi-
 clan Asked For

Houston, Tex, Sept. 29--The negro woman who 'has been under guard three days declared to be suspicious case by State Health Officer Swearirgen and thought by every locaR physician to be suffering from dengue and kidney affec- ton, is getting better.
 Tho cotton exchange and board of trade held meeting today and passed resolutions requesting Surgeon General Wynan to send an expert here at once to look at the case, and wired him to hurry him.
 Nobody here believes the woman has yellow fever, but every town in Texas is quarantined against Houston, and the situation is very serious commer- cially, as the lost trade is a million dol lars a day while this ostracism lasts. Two thousand are out of employment already on account of it and the list will grow daily.
 It Is hoped here that the governm ent will send Dr. Guiteras or some other man whose reputation win be sufficient to allay the fears aroused in the interior of the state.
 There are over 2,500 idle men in the city, and business is suffering terribly, hence the anxiety of the business men to have a government expeut and his opinion given to the world. Fear is in- tense in many small towns. and the ac- counts of quarantine measures would be 1udfcrous were 1t not for the very se- rious effect they have on business and their towns.
 1.-The lhwo physicains who were sent to Victoria laSI night to investigate an a1- legged suspicious case of fever returned today and will report to the state hea'dh officer case of common dsngue fever. Towns adjacent to Victoria dlave raised the quarantine.
 Dr. Sewaringen went to Beaumont this morning. and 1t is expected the quaran- time against that point win be raised as mo fever cases Of any suspicious ey'1np- toms have appeared there.

rather short-waisted bodice was of white
silk. crossed on the bosom by gold and
white ribbons, which edged the pointed
corselet belt and fell in long ends from
the right side. Above the crossing the
ribbons ran over the shoulders through
handsome paste buckles. The belt was of
spangied gold and white brocade, as was

A high-necked evening dress worn on

tic in design. The material was white
satin, showing through a yelling of eX-

slightly pouched bodice of chiffon and lace
was finished at the neck with band of old

at the waist it was held in by a draped
corselet belt of old rose velvet brocaded
with cerise and yellow. There were long

arranged Vatican train of gold and white
brocade, divided by a fall of lace that
widened toward the bottom.

THE CARE OF PLANTS.
10 hecp Them In n Thriving Condf
ton Through the Winter.

10 Keep Them In n Thriving Condf-
tioh through the Winter.
From the Woman's Home Companion
While plants are bedded or plunged in
pots out of doors during the summer. thew
generally do well, provided the soil con-
tains fair amount of nourishment and q
sufficient amount of water is supnlied As
socn. however as the approach of cold
weather necessitates removing them to the
house, they ara at once subjected to mark
ed changes in conditions of the air heat
ard light
Probably one Of the greatest difficulties
with which We have to contend in keenjn o.
plants in the house is that parching dry
ness of the atmosphere most noticeable in
steam or furnace-heated houses This con-
dition may be overcome to a certain ex-
tent by placing jars or pans of water on
the radiators, or swinging them in the
pipes just below the registers, thus fur.
nishlng constant supply of moisture to
the air by the evaporation of the water.
Gas and dust are enemies to plants. The
former must be prevented by proper regu-
latioE of the heating apparatus and the
latter by regular washing Of the foliage
In spraying or sponging the foliage do not
neglect the under sides of the leaves, for
ii is there that insects first make their ap-
pearance. and regular sponging will pre-
vent them from starting spreading.
The temperature is another matter for
consideration. In the average living room
the temperature should be from 6S to 30
degrees Fahrenheit, Which for the ma
jority OF plants will do very well; but there
are some. such carnations, violetS, prm-
roses, callas. etc, which will thrive better
in a room where the temperature is from
eight to ten degrees lower. At all times
guard carefully against placing plants
where they will be subject to cold drafts,
which are injurious, and often produce
mildew if the foliage is damp.
Another important part in the cultivation
Of house plants is the watering, which IN
flucnces to d great extent success or fall
ure. To lay down specific rules for water
ing would be a difficult matter. Too much
water will rot the roots, sour the soil and
stop the growth of the plant and not
enough will starve it. The general ten
dency is to overwater Supply water lib
orally when necessary, then withhold it
entirely until the soil is in condition to be
watered again. The soil in the pot should
not be allowed to become dry like dust,
but just so 1T will crumble nicely in the
hand. Avoid by all means the ruinous
practice of watering the plants daily,
whether they need it or not Plants IN
small pots usually dry out quickly, but this
may be prevented by placing them on trays
or SaucerS on which there is an inch or
two of clean sand.
AS to the best location in the room for
plants. place them where they will get the
greatest amount Of fresh air, light and
sunshine. which IS usually about the WIN
dows. Flowering plants should be given
all the sunshine possible. Foliage plants
do not require sunshine-that is. it is not
absolutely necessary-but do not consign
them to dark corner for that reason.

and lace ends at the threat The lining is,
as rule. of Quilted silk, with a large pat
tern of quilting.
There are several different shapes The
cheapest-for il takes less material and is
easiest mado-is an exaggerated circular
which fronts wide enough TO fold over: in
side the fronts extra pieces of the lining,
are folded over TO form muffs, and at the
same time help to hold the cloak together
Another style has long capes over the
arms. but no regular sleeves A Medici
collar, high band of fur around the neck
is the proper finish and l. possible, should
be lined with fur.
Eeiours and velveteen make effective
cloaks. One style Is trimmed with bands
OF fur. and has a wide over-cape. The ad-
vantage of a cloak made of velours if a
dark color, is that while it is handsome it
is not too conspicuous to wear in a street
car or public conveyance in the evening
and thus often the cost of a carriage can
be doEe away with-a most serious con-
sideration, by the way. Tan and gray cloth
coats and cloaks, much after the design
illustrated in velvet, have the same excel
lent quality.
Fer theater wear short capes and cloaks
arc much more desirable than jackets ana
coats, for they can so easily be taken off
and put on. Very smart and becoming are
n any of the new styles. and quite elabor-
ate enough in construction and material to
do duty for evening wear over ball gowns.
Black velours, satin or silk, embroidered
