Women suffering from any form OF
female weakness are invited topromptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass. All letters are re-

has gained the very knowledge that
will help your case. She asks nothing
in return except your good will, AND

Surely any woman, rich or poor, Is very
foolish if she does not take advantage
of this generous offer of assistance

And consider that in addressing Mrs,
Pinkham you are eonfding your private
Ills to a woman-a woman whose ex-
perience in treating woman's diseases
is greater than that of any living ply
stefan, male or female.
You can talk freely to a woman when
It is revolving to relate your private
troubles to man; besides, man does
not understand, simply because he is a
man

4 RIOT IN ROME.
TradesInen Protest Against Excessive Tax
 nti0n-One Rioter Killed.

Rome, Oct. 11.-A large procession of tradesmen, headed by the ProSyndic of Rome and the president of the cham Der of commerce, marched to the office of the minister of the interior, this af- ternoon, to protest against and confer with the government regarding the in creased taxation. Premier Rudini, who is also minister of the interior, received committee representing the trades men and promised that all possible would be done to promote friendly rela- tions and greater equity between the tax collectors and taxpayers.
 In the meanwhile, a large crowd of people had collected around the minis try, angry shouts were heard and some of those present tore up paving stones and otherwise assumed a very threat ening attitude. This caused the police to make an attempt to disperse the vio- lent portion of the crowd and in the conflict which followed six policemen were injured and one rioter was killed.
 The mob raised revolutionary cries while the fighting was in progress, re- volvers were freely used, many persons in the crowd were injured and twenty of the leaders of the disturbance were arrested. The condition of three of the wounded policemen is serious.
 Midnight-The streets have been quiet this evening. A special detail of police is patrolling the district that was the scene of the disturbance. In all there have been twenty-four ar rests. The rioter who was killed has mo hIlt q nrS tT have been workman.

DRoUGHTIN THE WEST.
An Unprecedented Dry spelI-Winter
 Wheat Seriously Affected.

Chicago, Oct. 1.-The drought just broken has for severity and wide area of country affected never been equalled in the period covered by authoritative record in this country. Crops have suf- fered, fruit has been blasted, fires have leaped up as if from spontaneous com bustion in field and woodland and every moment of the time since the middle of August has been crowded with danger to cities. Farmers have been hauling water for their stock-even buying the fluid in many sections of the country. Many small towns throughout the coun- try have suffered severely from fire.
 Conservative estimates place the re- duction in acreage of winter wheat at 20 per cent. Thousands of acres throughout the affected district have not even been ploughed, the ground be- ing in such condition as to render farm work next to impossible. To stock raisers the rain is a Godsend, pastures which have been dried up for weeks will be available once more. Tn many localities it has been necessary to feed stock for two or three weeks past.
 Weather bureau officials said this af- ternoon that indications point to q con- tinuance of the rainfall for thirty-six hours more.

GUILTY OF LEsE MIJESTE.
Hamburg Editor to be Imprisoned for
 Callin. King Leopold a Gambler.

Hamburg, Oct. 1.-The editor-in- chief of the Hamburg Echo, Herr Rheinhold Stenzel, charged with lese majeste against Leopold, King of the Belgians, was tried here to-day, con victed and sentenced The proceed ings were taken at the request of Bar on Greindl, Belgian minister at Berlin.
 The offence imputed consisted in the publication of several articles assert ing that King Leopold hatibtually en- couraged gambling; that he had his own tables at Ardennes and personally protected the gambling saloons at Os- tend. Herr Stenzel denied the author shipof the offending articles, but accept ed responsibility for them The defence proved that similar statements had ap- peared in Belgian and other German papers without being followed by pros cautions for lese majeste.
 Among the Belgian witnesses were Baron Gossinet, the kings secretary; Herr Weiner, the Belgian crown syn die, and Deputy Iorand, all of whom deposed that the king had absolutely nothing to do with gambling houses, all of which in Belgium were legally regu- lated by the government.
 The defence wanted to cross-examine the prosecution's witnesses with refer ence to King Leopold's relation to the Congo enterprise, but the court refused to allow that matter to be raised The presiding judge decided also, contrary to the contention of the defence, that Baron Greindl was acting in behalf of his government and entirely justified in taking criminal proceedings.
 The public prosecutor demanded a sentence of six months Imprisonment. The court imposed a sentence of eight months and ordered the immediate ar- rest of Herr Stenzel. There is reason to believe that there will be endeavor made to induce Herr Stenzel to leave the country,

ARG UMENTS IN LUETGERT CASE. Case Will be Given to the Jury at the End of the Present Week.

Chicago, Oct 1.-The final arguments
 have commenced in the Luetgert trial and the case will be given to the jury by the end of the present week. As sistant State Attorney McEwen began the opening address for the state, and he will speak for two days at least. He will be followed by Attorney Phelan for the defence and Attorney Vincent will close in behalf of Luetgert. Then will come the closing for the state, which will be made by State Attorney Deneen
 Assistant State Attorney McEwan addressed the jury for three hours this afternon and had barely outlined his
 argument at the hour of adjournment
 He will resume the argument to-mor- row morning, and will talk all day "The state was conservative in it's as- sertions as what it would prove on the witness stand some weeks ago." said the speaker in his opening remarks. We made no boasts. We told you in the simplest language just what the | evidence would disclose. Our promises have been fulfilled The claim has been made here that we have failed to establish properly the corpus dilicti
 and I suspect you will hear much about l this from the attorneys on the other side. The body of the crime has been sufficiently shown by the circumstances which establish that Mrs. Luetgert met her death through a criminal agency l There is no more necessity of proving the corpus dilicti further than there would be to produce a house In court to prove that person on trial for burg | lary broke in it or to produce a horse ! before the jury which tnief is alleged to have stolen.'
 The speaker referred to the fact that
 nearly six months had elapsed since | Mrs. Luetgert had disappeared from her home. Then the case was taken | up chronologically and all the incidents 1 traced briefly down to the date of the | opening of the trial.

ATTEMPT AT MURDER ON HIGH SEAS
Joseph Marean Creates a Panic on Board
 the Full Rigged Ship James Nesblt.

New York, Oct. 11.-Before the full rigged ship Jaries Nesbith moored at
 her dock to-day in Brooklyn, it was known that she had on board man in irons, who had tried to commit murder,
 But it was not known that for some little time while the Nesbith was on the high seas that this would-be murderer
 practically owned the ship and drove all hands below deck, where they re- mained in a state of terror until by a
 concerted attack they regained pos
 session of the ship.
 The Nesbith, from South American
 ports, anchored on Friday last off
 Staten Island, and it was reported that they had experienced trouble on board.
 When the big boat lay along side her
 dock to-day Joseph Marean, an able
 bodied seaman, was taken from the irons in which he has been since Sep tember 16 and marched before United States Commissioner Oakley. He was held until Saturday for examination. He appeared perfectly sane and quiet. On September IA when the vessel was sailing under fair wind Marean went ont of his mind. He started to slash around with a big knife.
 Chief Mate Creenen, a nervy old man, ordered Marean to go below, and re-
 ceived a stab wound for his trouble. The sailing mater went to the chief mates assistance and also got a severe cut. Marean then went for the four teen sailors on deck. They all disap- peared down the companionways and in a short time Marean had the deck to himself. He ran up and down, bowling at the top of his voice. The officers and crew secured arms and returned to the deck, where they approached Ma rean on all sides, and made a concert ed attack upon him.
 Several of the crew to-day bear traces of the struggle that ensued and several
 of them said it was wonder that Ma
 rean did not kill somebody instead of severely wounding two men.

RATIGES OF "Y ELLOW JICK" :" situation at New Orleans Hold but Little Hope-Dimculties of Board of Health.

New Orleans, Oct. 11.-From the re- turns there is little hope in the yellow fever situation. The board of health is daily demonstrating that, with a fair show, it is possible to restrict and stamp out the disease. But the people who must suffer from strict appIica- ton of scientific methods rebel, the re- suit being that the pathway of the board of health is beset with difficult ties.
 To-day, as on nearly every other day since the fever first appeared here, about fifty per cent. of the fatalities were traceable to neglect and a dispo- sition to hide cases. The case of Rob ert Hiteas was reported to-day. He had been i'll for some time People in the vicinity knew he was ill. Yet no report was made to the authorities and the announcement Of his case was al- most contemporaneous with his death,

"Pull For the Shore" i'll manner to
cause the most hardened sinners breast
to swell.
1t was in 1871 that Moody and San
key first met. They were both attend
ing Young Mems Christian association
convention at Indianapolis. Mr.. Moody
had for number of years been doing
evangelical work in Chicago and had
already attained some local celebrity.
He was taking no prominent part i'll the
convention, but was sitting i'll the audi
ence, when his attention was attracted
by the singing Of a young man over in
one corner of the hall. Swelling and
rolling clear above the rest of the sing
ers rose the voice that was destined TO
be heard clear round tho world. Mr..
Moody himself cannot sing at all and
does not know one note from another,
but he was struck by this voice.
"Who is that young man who is sing
ing SOP he asked of a gentleman sitting
beside him.
"Why, that one of our Pennsylvania
young men--Ira Sankey. He has fine
voice, hasn't hep was the reply.
II don't know anything about his
voice, said Mr.. Moody, "but do know
that he feels every word he sings and
believes every word he feels. I'd like t.
meet him. -
The meeting was arranged shortly
after the session.
"Young man." said Moody in his
blunt way, II want you to come to Chi
cago and work with me. "
"But / cannot leave my business in
New Castle" protested Sankey.
you'll have to give that up, then, "
said Moody.
81 don't know about that" replied
Sankey obviously.
"Oh, but 1 do, +" went on Moody
"Why, I've been looking for you for
eight years.
At that time Mr.. Sankey, then under
so, was working with his father at
New Castle, Pa, as deputy collector of
internal revenue. He was married and
had one child He had come to tho con-
vention as a delegate, intending to hur-
~ back to his business. He did return to
New Castle but six months later joined

in the old Illinois Street church and Far
well hall until both buildings were de-
stroyed in the great fire. Then came their
