" Love Is not love that alters when II alteration
finds" .-..
That is one of the sublimest lines in all
literature. 1t is the final definition of love
by the worlds greatest reader of the human
mind, Shakespeare. Nearly all women
who truly love, love in this sublime way.
Men seldom do.
Womau's most glorious endowment is
the power to awaken and hold the pure
and honest love of worthy man. When
she loses it and still loves on, no one in
the wide world can know the heart agony
she endures. The woman who suffers
from weakness and arrangement of her
special womanly organism soon loses the
power to sway the heart of man. Her
general health suffers and she loses her
good looks, her attractiveness, her ania-
bility and her power and prestige as a
woman. DR.. r. V. Pierce of Buffalo. N. V,
with the assistance of his staff of able ply
sicians, has prescribed for many thousands
of women, He has devised a perfect and
scientific remedy for women's ailments. 1t
is known as Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton. 1t is positive specific for all weak
nesses, diseases, disorders, displacements,
Irregularities and debilitating drains Pc
culiar to women. It purifes, regulates,
strengthens and heals. Medicine dealers
sell It, and no honest dealer will advise
you to accept substitute that he may
make little larger profit.

THE WATER STREET GRADE.
commissioners Reply to Request for

commissioners Reply to Request for
New Pavement.
The District Commissioners have nott-
fled C. w Ridley that 1t is impracticable
and inadvisable to grant his request for
the construction of a new pavement on
Water Street at such a slope from the
car tracks to the entrance of the Clyde
wharf as will meet the wharf level.
The Commissioners state that to make
such an improvement would result in
making the grade of the street three
fourths of an inch to the foot, which
would be unsafe and serious detrimcnt
to the usefulness of the street. The
Commissioners intend, however, to make
a slope of three-fourths of an inch to the
foot uniformly from the rail for the en-
tire length of the street, which will bring
the grade of the pavement practically
one foot above the level of the wharf at
the driveway entrance, the expectation
being that that portion of the floor of the
wharf Immediately adjoining the new
pavement will be relaid at a. different
slope In order to join the new pavement

President Gompers, of the American
Federation of Labor, has addressed a
circular to the presidents of State
branches of the organization, urging that
committees be appointed in each State
to ascertain the views of the United
States senators upon the eight-hour bill,
now pending in the Senate and recon-
mending that the members of the Fed
Grafton oppose the reelection of those
Senators who are antagonistic to that
measure. Where no legislatures are
chosen which will elect senators, he
wishes attention paid to election of con-
gressmen, State legislators and municipal
officers who are favorable to the eight
