ter with them, but attribute their i'll health
to some other cause. Some who do recog
nize the real trouble are induced to leopard
izc their lives by taking alleged medicines
prepared by inexperienced incompetents.
Some of these advertised preparations are
concocted by mere nurses, those possessing
no knowledge of the delicate organism of
women, the complicated and obstinate dis
eases peculiar to them, or the remedies
which may safely be prescribed for the re-
lief and cure thereof Now the nurse may
be very good and useful woman in her pro-
per sphere, and yet be totally unqualified to
prescribe remedies for the complicated and
obstinate diseases incident to women. No
woman suffering from these delicate all
ments should think of consulting a mere
nurse, however good she may be in her pro-
per field of usefulness, but should go in
stead to an experienced, skilled specialist.
The services of such specialist are at the
command of every woman. DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is discovery and in
vention of regularly graduated, expert
cnced specialist III won1ans peculiar rnala-
dies, who may be consulted, free of charge,
either in person or by letter, at the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo N. Y,
of which he is chief consulting physician
and surgeon. The most wonderful prepara-
tiou of its kind that has ever been made is
Dr.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. 1t cures
where physicians fail and II cures right at
home, with none of the distressing exam
nations and local treatments SO uniformly
insisted upon by doctors.
Every woman ought to know about the great
remedy, above mentioned, and she can find out
all about it In DIR. Pierce's Comznon Sense Medi-
cal Adviser, work of over 1000 pages, carefully
illustrated with over 600 plates. 1t contains sew
eral chapters on the reproductive physiology of
women, and hundreds Of simple receipts for the

The World of Business.
Wall street Yesterday.

New York, April 26.- Tomorrow being
legal holiday in this city and the adJoil-
ing counties, no business viii be trans
acted by the banks or in the various con-
mercial exchanges. The most interesting
de evelopment in Wall street today was
the collapse of the verbal agreement among
the principal drawers or foreign exchange
not 10 ship gold until sight bills should
Sell at 49S 81 The shipment tomorrow of
$1,000,O0 by one of the houses, party to
the agreement, was considered by
practically all the others as evidence that
the understanding reached two weeks ago
is no longer in force. The firm making
the shipment claims that 1t is Justified
in doing SO. because the gold goes for
ward in execution of order received
from abroad. Upon this point it is in
tcresting to note that the order referred
to was offered to another banking house
first aud was declined by it OH the ground
that it was a party to an agreement not
to ship gold at current rates for ex-
change The situation was made more
interesting by the fact that the bills
sold against the gold shipped tomorrow
were purchased by the banking house
that took the lead in bringing about the
inents until the rates of exchange should
show a good profit on the transactions.
Now that the ice has been broken, il does
not follow that extensive exports OF specie
viii take place, although exchange is rul
ing at high figures because OF the gradual
shifting of the foreign trade balance gai1st
this country. The exchange market as so
narrow that the marketing of the bills
against 81 900, 900 OF gold that goes out
tomorrow and also against S5UU.o0 that
will be shipped by a Boston banking house
on Thursday lowered the price of short
sterling TO 4S7 ga. 1t is generally be-
lieved, however, in the exchange market
that, irrespective Of rates. unless, OF course,
they should decline materially, further
shipments OF specie will be made on Satur-
day Indications point to Austria as the
final destination Of this specie. 1t is re-
ported in London that Austria wants about
SIS, 600 900 more gold, for which its gov
ernment is willing to pay handsome pre-
mi um.
1t is learned that the gold exported to-
morrow is consigned TO Bremen. Whoever
ordered 1t shipped, agrees TO pay any loss
that may be sus tainedin making the trans
action together with a coIHnlissi IN. OBJ

Raedy,s Daily Training.

Champion Pat Raedy is training indus
triously for his fight with Hite Peckham ct
the Suburban Road House tonight week.
Pat put in the forenoon yesterday at the
hardest kind of work. To begin with, he
covered five miles on the Bladensburg
pike, and stepped it off at a good clip,
returning to his quart rters about . o. clock.
After thorough rundown, he went into
the gymnasium and punched the bag for
q period. He then spared four hard
rounds with his trainer, Billy Nash. AT the
conclusion OF his indoor work he was again
rubbed down, and jumped to his feet in
magnificent fettle. In the afternoon he ran
to Rladensburg and back, which ended his
training for the day.

Sugar do not care for higher prices on the

party may be thinking about the short turn
and the other about the long turn, but even
in this case the conflict of opinion in view
of the authorities in each case is peculiar.

reply 70 the charges preferred recently by

a charge of hcusebre aking was made

AS stated In The Star yesterday, Warden
Leonard denies that his sugar trust pris-

granted any privileges not accorded those
inmates of the jail embraced within the
following four classes: Persons detained as
witnesses. persons not classed as criminals.

TIE warden states that Ball has been de-
MED no privilege TO which the rules of the
prison entitle him. unless il be in the re-
striction of his food, as prescribed by the

Mr. Leonard in concluding his answer
says that no complaints have been made

of the privileges granted Mr.. Chapman,
and Balls complaints were investigated he
says. by others. and his affidavit, the warden
further declares. was signed without being

Undoubtedly hand labor is superior to
machine work when 1t comes to sweepins
the streets, and should say In your case
at Washington that better and more salts
factory results could be obtained from
sweeping those streets which are now
swept by machine by doing 1t by hand
But If you ever hope to get patrol system.
and that, to my mind, is the only way to
keep the streets clean, you had better wait
for sufficient appropriation before at
tempting 1t. Our system in New York is
working beautifully, and the streets are
kept clean. But 1t requires constant work
and a considerable outlay Of money"
Selecting the Workers.
Commissioner BAcke asked something
of the methods pHrsusd in selecting the
cleaners. Col. Waring replied that 1t was
quite task to get good men. The plan
was to put on twenty men and give them a
trial.. Out Of that's number perhaps five
would be found capable. The work was
laborious. 1t was r constant grind. and

he was Immediately displaced.

New York. We have IN Washington an

Resus<s Summed Up,
To sum up the results Of the trip Com
missioner Black learned that the New York
street cleaning officials were opposed to
street sweeping by machines: that pickup
machines were impracticable, and that
hand sweeping was by far the best method
that could be adopted for cleaning the
streets of city. z1
Just what the Commissioners win do IN
awarding the contract is not known. In
fact, they have not even discussed th. Anal
outcome of the investigation There ara
two methods open to the District. 1t would
be possible to clean some Of the streets NV
machines and give to the more importnn nj
residential and business streets a hand sys-
tenn, with the patrol. feature Included. or
to have the work whieh Is now done by
machines done exclusively by hand. Ac
cording to Col. Waring either system would
be productive Of good results. le
