AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM.

Mrs. W. E. PAXTON, youngstown,
North Dakota, writes about her strug-
gle to regain health after the birth of
her little girl:
"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-It Is with
pleasure that 1 add my testimony to
your list, hoping that it may induce
others to avail themselves of your val
liable medicine.
AFTER the birth of my little girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor. had leucorrhna badly, and
terrible bearing-down pain which
gradually grew worse, until could do
no work. Also had headache nearly
all the time, and dizzy feelings. Men
situations were very profuse, appear
ing every two weeks.
"Itook medicine from good doctor,
but it seemed to do no good. 1 was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when read your advertisement in
paper. l sent at once for bottle of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
ponnd, and after taking two-thirds of
the bottle felt SO much better that I
send for two more. After using three
bottles 1 felt as strong and well as any
one.
81 think it is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it to every lady meet suf-
fering from this trouble"
Maternity is wonderful experience
and many women approach it wholly
unprepared. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrify women.
The advice of Mrs. Pinkham Is freely
offered to all expectant mothers, and
her advice is beyond question the most
valuable to be obtained. If Mrs. Pax
ton had written to Mrs Pinkham be-
fore confinement she would have been
saved much suffering. Mrs. Pinkham's
address is Lynn, Mass. =

Need not Wear Uniforms.

There has been much discussion
over the question as to whether a vol
uuteer on furlough must wear his uni
form. The question is settled by
Major and Quartermaster McCauley,
VINO was approached on the subject
by Rev. DIR. Duhrlng, of the Philadel-
phla Relief Committee, as will appear
from the following taken from the
Philadelphia Call:
'Dr. Duhring found that many of
the men on furlough could get en-
ployment if they could discard their
shabby uniforms, and he pointed this
out to Major McCauley and asked
him for ruling on the regulations.
1t was given when the Major wrote to
DIR. Duhring, saying that officers and
men on furiough could wear either
their uniforms or civilian clothes as
they pleased. This ruling will enable
those of the returned soldiers who are
employed as statesmen to go to work
Immediately, and will purmit mechan-
les to put on their working clothes
without fear of arrest.

STATE REFORM.
Democrats No Eleventh Hour Con-
verts to the Doctrine Pertinent
Extracts From Their State
PlatfOpfnS


Extracts From Their State
Platforms.
The Democratic party is no eleventh
hour convert to state reform. For
years 1t has been presenting the ugly
facts and urging amendment. When
ever it has had opportunity 1t has 10y
ally redeemed its pledges, to the full
Limit of its power. The following will
be interesting reading in this connec-
tion:
In 1874 the Democrats of the state in
their platform denounced the Republi-
cans for fostering corporations to the
detriment and injury of the great agri-
cultural interest; for having introduced
frauds and corruption into the depart
ments of the state government and
among the state officials generally, and
for having failed to dismiss them when
exposed and convicted. They demand
ed a greater economy and the looping
off of every needless expense.
In 1882 the Democrats elected their
state ticket and secured q majority in
the house on a platform devoted to
state issues and condemning Republic
can theft and reckless expenditure.
In 1885 the party thus said: 1.-THE
long continued abuses and spoliations
of the state treasury and the defiance
of laws by its management make es-
sential radical reform so that large
sums shall not be accumulated by tax
alton of the people to be distributed
among the favored repositories of the
state"
The convention of 1887 denounced the
Republican legislature for '1ts failure
to pass the state revenue bill, which
was urged by nearly all the people in
the commonwealth and which, by its
failure, made the people pay a million
Of, dollars annually that should and
. would have been paid by corporations I"
1t denounced, also, "the failure of the
administration to attempt any correc-
ion Of the wrong doing or exposure of
the fraud or criminal neglect, as con-
Tossing the supremacy of ring rule In
Pennsylvania
The convention of 1890 again urged re-
form, condemned the Bardsley steal.
and, following the election of the
Democratic governor, Robert E. Pat
tison. the monies stolen by the said
Bardsley ,and others were restored to
the state treas Sliry

A Reverend Tramp.
strange Method ADOPTED by Bishop Cole
man TO See the Country,

If any West Vtginian sees large
bodied much be~isllered tramp on the
highways of his Srate, it is hoped he
will treat him kindly, for the man Is
Rev. Leighton Coleman, bishop of
the diocese OF Delaware and a thor
oughly respectable citizen.
For short time the Bishop has
thrown aside his vestments and is en-
joying one of his annual pedestrian
tours through the country. He is a
lover of nature and believes there is
no better way to see it than to take
one of his tramps. He also loves to
study human nature and he is now do
ing it.
He has taken many long tramps in
most of the Middle and Eastern
States. Every year he selects a new
route and brings home with him hun
dreds of interesting stories which he
well knows how to tell. Last year he
took trip through Germany.
Whenever the Bishop goes off on
any of his pedestrian trips, he trans
forms himself so materially that wher-
ever he goes, unless he wishes to dis
close his identity,he is taken for a real
tramp.
1t is not meant that he becomes a
vagrant: He pays for his plain fare
and humble lodging, and few who en-
tertain him know that he is one of the
foremost ecclesiastics of the United
States. 1t pleases him to get away
from the bowing and scraping world
for time and to be taken in his walk
ing outfit for just what he appears to
those he meets. He is at present
somewhere in Virginia, no one knows
exactly where.
He was seen at the station just be.
fore his departure. On his head he
wore an old slouch hat, which had
seen service in several tours before.
His ample form was covered with an
ancient macintosh, his trousers were
nearly to his shoe tops and his feet
were incased in pair of stout shoes
made not for show, but for service.
Under his arm he carried a large
bundle done up in paper. Swung
from an old walking stick which had
been broken and clumsily repaired,
was an ancient-looking valise. In this
guise he set off on Monday for a
tramp of several hundred miles
through strange country.
He has had many strange expert
ences and adventures. Several times
he has been taken for a tramp, and
good housewives have set their dogs
on him when he approached their
gates to purchase glass of milk or
ask tor a drink OF water. On one of
his trips he was suspected by moon
sinners of being a secret service man
and was seized and locked up in one
of their cabins until they were salts
fled he was not looking for stills.

GENERAL FUND RECEIPTS.


Inmates of the state treasurer. He cal
culates the probable receipts, and he
puts down the actual Obligations. BY
the end of the year, therefore, il all the
obligations are in the meanwhile met,
the state viii have expended, during
the four years of Governor Hastings
administration, s6,570,5S1 more than its
income.
But there was real balance left over
from Governor Pattisons last year,
1894
Auditor General Gregg (Republican)
spoke of that balance in his annual re-
port for that year as follows: After
noting that the nominal balance was
$5,014,942, he said: "Of the amount paid
into the state treasury Gas personal
property taxi there remains to be paid
back to the counties s1,273,5 3,57S.09. This
should properly be deducted from the
reported balance, in order to ascertain
the real, which deduction being made,
would show real balance of $780,
74762.
while we may point with pride to
the existence of this large balance,
1t must not be too readily assumed that
it will prove an unmiXed blessing. Its
very existence will invite applications
for its appropriation to purposes neith-
er necessary nor deserving. The reve-
nues of the state are at present ample
to meet its expenses If economically ap-
Piled"
And then this Republican auditor
went on to recommend the appropria-
tion of the surplus "to some needed
public use. whose benefits should be
enjoyed by the entire people, without
placing upon the commonwealth an
annual charge therefor"
Inheriting this real surplus" of So
SO7,747 from its predecessor, and ex-
pending in four years s6,57O,5S1 in ex-
cess of its income, the Hastings ad-
ministration has exhausted the surplus
and left the state 81, ,762 S34 in the hole.
With money to burn" so to speak,
four years ago, the treasury now has,
If its debts were paid, nearly $4,000, 900
less than nothing.
This is Quayism fittingly illustrated
in figures.

Facts About our Calendar.

There are some curious facts about
our calendar. No century can begin
on Wednesday, Friday or Sunday.
The same calendars can be used every
twenty years. October always begins
on the same day of the weed as Jam
uary, April as July, September as
December. February, March and
November begin on the same days.
May, June and August always begin
on different days from each other. and
every other month in the year. The
first and last days of the year are
always the same. These rules do not
apply to leap year, when comparison
is made between days before and
after February go.

TEE TREASURY LOOTERS

The Appalling Figures That Show
How 1t Cost More Than Ten and a
HalfMiilions of Dollars in Excess of
the Cost In lSS3-SG to Run the State.
The NJ achine Figuring on New Tax
Bills to Get Money to Make Good the
Treasury Deficiency.
A Harrisburg correspondent writes:
There are two problems of serious inn
portance facing the treasury officials
Of Pennsylvania to-day. The first is
how, for the sake of the Republican
machine, by whose favor they hold Of
flee, the fact that there is a practical
deficit of nearly s3,OOO.O0O in the state
treasury can be disguised or explaineda
satisfactorily to the voters. The seconds
is. how they can get the additional
money which will be absolutely needed
for the coming years expenses If ma
chine rule is to be continued, or unless
an anti Republican Legislature shall
be chosen this fall and shall proceed,
Immediately after convening, to stop
all the steals and cut off all the eXtrav-
sgances.
AS to preventing the people from
learning that there is a deficit, that IT
is an ugly one and that it will sooner
or later produce no end of embarrass-
ment, both for the state and it's cred
itors, that is simply impossible. The
facts are too plain. The ordinarily in
telligent man has but to take UP the
reports of the state treasurer and audi
tor general and glance for a moment
at the figures to satisfy himself as to
the melancholy and disgraceful truth.
Each year, for the four years last past,
the appropriations have exceeded the
estimated expenditures, and the actual
expenditures have been greater than
the estimated income by from two to
four millions of dollars. For the year
1898 the treasurer's estimate of income,
leaving the sinking fund out of consid-
Grafton, was s11191, 62S, while he found
that, in going over the 1897 appropria-
tion bills and adding to their totals the
overdue payments on previous appro-
priations, there would be needed during
1893, again emitting the sinking fund
items, the enormous sum of 17,346,S23
That sort of financiering, continued for
a few years, would bankrupt even a
Standard Oil trust.
Corruption and waste have been con-
spicuous in Pennsylvania state govern
mental matters for very many years,
but II was not until Beavers admins
tration began, in 1887, that the looters
got things down fine and began stealing
and squandering by wholesale. I'm
doubtedly there were moneys unneces-
sarily expended from 1888 to 1886 inclu-
sive under Pattison, but the total ex-
penditures were nevertheless compara-
lively modest. The following, taken
from the reports of the auditor general,
show the total expenditures during that
period on current account-that Is, less
interest, loans redeemed and United
States bonds purchased:
