BEFORE BABY rs BORN"
A Valuable Little Book of Interest
to All Women Sent Free.

Every woman looks forward with feel
ings Of joy indescribable to the
one great event in her life, COM
pared with which all others pale into in
significance. How proud she will feel
when her babe nestles on her breast
how sweet the name of 'Motherw And
yet, her anticipation of this event is
clouded with dread of the pain and dan
ger of the ordeal, so that it is impossi-
BILE to avoid the feeling of foreboding
which creeps over her. The danger
and suffering attendant upon being a
mother can be entirely prevented, so
that the coming of the little stranger
need not be looked forward to with fear.
Every woman who reads this, can obtain
free valuable little book entitled "Be-
fore Baby is Born" by sending her adj
dress to the Bradfield Regulator Co.,
Atlanta, Ga. This book contains price,
less information for all women, and no
one should fail to send for it.

TO KILL OR MARRY sAxToN.
Mrs. George Had an Alternative for

From the PHILADELPHIA Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Canton, O., Oct. lit is reported that
the state has evidence that Mrs. George
purchased a self-acting 3S-caliber revolt
yer in Chicago recently, and said that she
expected to use 1t to kill saxton. She is
alleged to have said to friend immedi-
ately after the settlement Of the damage
case of her former husband against Saxton
last week: Now there will be either a
wedding or a funeral"
One who was present when Prosecutor
Pomerene conferred with President Ne
Kinley says the latter, speaking for the
family, said they did not wish to appear
al prosecutors.
Al the hearing to-day Perry Van Horn,
a newspaper man. testified that six
months ago, when i'm Mrs Althouse' 8
yard, Mrs George drew a revolver on
Mrs. Althouse and Saxton, and was dis
armed. She sent on the following morn
ing for Van Horn and told him then that
she would yet kill Saxton, particularly il
he refused to marry her.
The policemen who arrested her said
that they smelled powder on her right
hand and that the hand was discolored.

SLAIN BY SAILOR FIENDS.
La BOurEOgne's Passengers Threats
Cuts by Frenchmen.
From the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record
The British steamship Cromartyshire,
which was run into by the French liner
La Bourgogne on the Grand Banks of
Newfoundland, on July 4 last, which dis
aster resulted in the loss of over 400 lives,
arrived here yesterday. The Cromarty-
shire left Dunkirk on June for Philadel-
phia, with cargo of chalk, and was tow
ed into Halifax, N s., on July 6, after
the memorable collision with her bow
crushed in and her forergging torn away.
1t cost $4,000 to properly repair the Gro
marytshire.
Capt. Henderson stated yesterday that
the published reports of the disaster were
by no means exaggerated. One part of
the story however had not been told.
THAT was" said he, that in the life
boat scramble many of the passengers who
attempted to get in with the crew had
their threats cut by the French sailors,
whom / denounce as miserable towards.
Their sheath-knives were red with blood
when they came on the Cromartyshire in
one of La Bourgogne's lfeboats, which
boat l have yet on board of my vessel.
THE fact that so many of the drowned
persons wore life jackets is sufficient to
convince any person that they had made
preparation to leave the Bourgogne and
knew that she was ready to founder"

From the New York Tribune
The much-prized peanut, the inevitable
companion of every picnic and pleasure
excursion. is In the main a product of
the Southern states but that it can be
raised on Long Island was, IL is said, once
demonstrated by Conelius Vanderbilt. The
story runs that old Commodore Wander
bilt gave his son Cornelius a tract of
land on Long Island, which he found to
be of such a sandy nature that 1t would
not nourish any crop he planted. Baffled,
but not discouraged, he read up the sub
ject of sandy soil and the crops that
flourish therein, and learned that 1t was
just the soil for peanuts. So he planted
the tract with them. The soil responded
as expected, and a magnificent crop was
realized, amounting il is said, to $l5, 600
clear profit the first year
In all the sandy bottoms of the South
peanuts are raised in great abundance.
A field of them looks like field of pota-
toes, but the foliage of the plant is finer
and smaller than potato leaves. They
grow like the potato, in punches on hills.
When the nuts are formed the negroes
pull the punches up by the roots, and
hundreds of nuts are clinging to the roots
of each plant The outer shell of the pea
nut in the raw state is white and sticky,
and the inner red covering of the nut
almost impossible 10 remove while fresh,
The nuts are unwholesome while in the
green raw state.
The negroes hang the buches on the raf-
ters of the cabins until the outer shell
is dry and hard, then parch them. Pea
nut farmers have the nuts removed from
the roots and laid on warm barn floors
10 dry.
Throughout the Southern states they
bear different names. In South Carolina
they are called 'pinders," in Alabama,
"goobers" ahd ground peas" in Georgia
ground peas and ground nuts" and
COOLERS" The residents of the state of
Georgia get a name for meanness from
the "goobers" being called "goober grab
bers," meaning that they will grab any
thing, or everything, and the expression,
ooh you ole goober-grabber," is used in
derision and fun.
The negroes of the South cultivate the
nut IN large quantities; they are fond of
it, and it forms part of their rough fare.
They also realize considerable from its
sale. The times when negroes most use
this much prized food are at weddings
and funeral feasts, especially the latter.
A curious custom in Alabama and other
cotton states is not to have the funeral
services until six months or year after
the burial; then they have a great feast

Paris, Oct 11.-To-night the Paris con-

other night an interruption in the work
of certain red marble palace every one
is familiar with This is the reason given:
The young gentleman who is building it
and who has a constant need of money
went one day, il appears, and found the
builders and asked them for a commits
sion of 40 per cent. upon all the work he
ordered for which his wife was TO pay.
Things went along finely until the rela-
tives, notably the brothers of the lady in
question, became aware of an eXtraordin-
airy state Of affairs and demanded the de
tail of somewhat enlarged bill sent In
by one of the contractors
Madame then declared she would ask
the courts to reduce the bills presented.
Protestations became violent and finally
one of the architects owned up TO the
husbands commission This threw cold
water upon the transatlantiques, and they
renowned the idea of asking the courts
for dimlnution of the account between
themselves.
Monsieur and madame quarreled. Fin
