NERVOUS DEPRESSION.
"a TALK WITH MRs. PrNEnAn.l

A woman with the blues IL very un.
comfortable person. She Ia illogical
unhappy and frequently hysterical.
The condition of the mind known as
1.-THE blues" nearly always, with wo-
men, results from diseased organs OF
generation.
1t is a source of wonder that in this
age of advanced medical science, any
person should still believe that mere
force Of will and determination will
overcome depressed spirits and nerv-
business in women. These troubles are
indications of disease.
Every woman who doesn't under
stand her condition should write to
Lynn, Mass, to Mrs. Pinkham for her
advice. Her advice is thorough COM
mon sense, and is the counsel of n
learned woman Of great experience.
Read the story of Mrs. +. S. BENNETT,
Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol-
lowing letter:
DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I have suf.
fcred for over two years with falling,
enlargement and liberation of the
womb, and this spring, being in such
a weakened condition, caused me TO
flow for nearly six months. Some time
ago, urged by friends, wrote to you
for advice. After using the treatment
which you advised for a short time,
that terrible flow stopped.
Il am now gaining strength and
flesh, and have better health than 1
have had for the past ten years. 1
wish to say to all distressed, suffer-
ing women, do not suffer longer, when
there is one so kind and willing to
aid you"
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is woman's remedy for wo-
mans ills. More than a million wo-
men have been benefited by it.

From tho Chicago Record,
The dynamite cruiser Vesuvius, which
has just left Newport to join the squad
ron off Havana, is an experiment in
warfare which will be watched with
great interest by naval authorities all
over the world, and will undoubtedly
be given an opportunity to demonstrate
her merits before the war is over, She
is supposed to be more effective in
battle than any of our battleshlps,
cruisers or torpedo boats, the most de-
structive agency in the entire world,
and she is the only craft of her kind in
existence, but her efficiency has been
SO stubbornly questioned that the gov
ernment has not duplicated her. If she
should prove equal to the promises her
defenders have made every nation in
the world will add similar vessels to
their fleet. She is small, swift and
easily handled, and carries three pneu-
matte guns, each of which discharges
500 pounds of nitroglycerine every five
minutes. NitroglyCerine has five times
the explosive pow or of gun cotton ana
twenty-five times the explosive power
of ordinary powder. No ship could
stand a moment against an explosion
of this kind, even though 1t occurred in
the water 100 yards from her hull
Captain Zalnski, who invented the
guns, has described the effect of their
discharge as Hell let loose" and even
that does not seem to do full justice to
the destruction that would be caused
by scattering thrce-quarters of ton
of dynamite every five minutes in a
city or a fortress or among a fleet Of
vessels.
The projeCtiles are so arranged that
when they strike anything they will
explode and scatter the dynamite they
contain in a shower over a large sur
face. They can also be made to ex-
plode automatically by clockwork I'm
agine seven or eight such shells
dropped into a city like New York or
even Havana, or in the midst of fleet
Of warships. SO long as her guns are
in condition for use no vessel would
dare attack the Vesuvius without in
viting total destruction. If this little
craft were pursued it is only neces-
sary for it to stand still and await the
proper moment when the discharge OF
one or all of its guns would annihilate
it's pursuer A cruiser or a battleship
might as well sail straight over Mag
ara. But the critics of this little craft
insist that size will be absolutely un-
serviceable in rough water and her
machinery is so delicate and compli-
Gated 1t will be apt to get out of order
when II is needed the most.

WAS RUDELY AWAKENED.

Though the long curve from Jackson
street into Robinson street is well
known to be a rather dangerous curve
at any time, so far as the street cars
are concerned and that great care is
used by the street car men at all times
10 prevent any accident, still drivers
of vehicles grow careless.
An instance of this sort was brought
out yesterday and nearly resulted in
fatality, or at least bad injuries. As
IT was, only a broken spring, damaged
fender, badly frightened man and a
surprised horse were the sum total of
results. The accident happened about
l1.20 o'clock yesterday morning.

1t has been suggested that the Vesu-
vius can be made useful in destroying
the mines that have been placed in the
harbors of Havana and other cities,
because her proJectiles can be fired
under water as well as in the air, II
she should drop one Of her shells into
Havana harbor, for example, to be ex-
ploded as soon as it touched the bot
tom, the detonation would be So great
as to discharge all the mines or tor
pedoes that might be anchored within
a certain distance around it. 1t is also
suggested that she can easily be pro-
tected from heavy seas by sailing on
the lee side Of monitor or battleship.
Her guns are elevated at an angle OF
IS degrees, so that they could nre over
any ship that might be beside her for
protection.

Word was received at the North End
station house yesterday from Willard,
N. Y, stating that an insane man who
gave his name as Edward w. Tonery,
and supposed to be a resident of Scran-

formerly resided in this end and mis-
parents now reside on West Market

man who tore up cell in the police
