A New York newspaper is shrieking for
war and vociferously declaring that a
Spanish plot was responsible for the de-
struction of the Maine. Our own and
only Journal. here in Providence, slips
an extra out one evening voicing the
Spanish plot suspicion and the next eve

nonncemsnt that the Havana cable has
been cut neither OF which reports does

WILD NEWS, THIS.
Vending Cheap Lies When the Country
Wants tho Truth.


With the country resolved first TO know
the truth and then to do justice, it is
worth while to glance at a list OF the
stories which the new journalism diverted
yesterday about the destruction OF the
Maine and 253 OF her officers and men.
1t would have made dozen men busy
all day To keep track Of all the stories
Here arc few of them. FOR not one Of
wtich was there the slightest foundation
A. M.-"Ihe explosion was caused by
a mius or torpedo.
"The Maines sailors say Span iards bleM
up the ship. )"
"The destruction of the warship Maine
was the work of an enemy"
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt is con
vinced the explosion of the warship was
not an accident"
"Capt. Sigsbee sent dispatch to the
state department. which was suppressed
in which no said the accident was made
possible by an enemy
T. M-"An eigbt-inch persuasive hols
was found 10y submarine divers In the
pcttom of the Maine. F"
""The cable between Havana and Key
West cut. The President anxious
"Ihe Spaniards arranged To have tho
Maine anchored over one of the harbor
mines. The brutal nature of tho span
iards then led them to wait until the men
of the Maine had gone TO bed before
touching of the mine.
Captain General Blsnco has been as
sassinated."
"The government has taken POSSESSION
Of the cable.
"A fleet OF United States warships is
mobilizing Oft Florida"
z "The president has ordered the entire
national guard of ell the states under
arms.
This list might ne added to by the
column. One of the papers wound up
the day 10y declaring war. The morning
paper that printed the statement that
"the explosion was caused 10y mine or
torpedo" began its story by saying;
"At the hour Of going to press :,
IL is not known whether the expl ion
was an accident or the result of
a bomb or torpedo placed with intent to
blow up the vessel.
That statement was true and so far
as the cause of the accident goes, was tho
only true statement that could have been
made. The shest that published in its
headlines that the destruction Of ths
Warship Mains was tho work of nm
enemy had nothing in the story that
followed 10 substantiats the statement.
Many of the afternoon papers reprinted
the stories Of the morning papers without
any attempt at verificstion. The actual
truth was learned as the day grow older

The W. {. T. L. in this place believe in
work in as many lines as possible, but
they also believe in making that work
pleasant by little variety and social
meeting once in awhile, so they plan to
have an anniversary meeting in May, hen
the union was organized, and picnic
some time in August or September.
This picnic was held on Wednesday.
Aug. "a, at Mrs. Annie Stinson's. A ma
jority of the members was present, in
Guiding the pastor, Mr.. Garland, who is
an honorary mem Der, and il is safe to
state that only those We're absent who
could not well avoid it. The meeting was
strictly social one, and to make it inter-
esting original papers were read by diff
ferent mem bers and each was discussed
at more or less length.
Mrs. Inez Small gave one which was
prepared as talk to school children in
the interests OF the S. T. l. department
Mrs. May Robbins and Mrs. r. s. War
rem read papers on department work and
the Importance of reporting such work to

only as regards intoxicants, but narcotics
and temperance in all things.
After the papers Were read several of the
departments were discussed, all present

pleasant hour spent in this way, picnic
supper was served.
All departed feeling that the picnic had
been success, Notwithstanding the fact
that the invited guests failed to material

NO WOMAN IS EXEMPT.

Regularity is q matter of Importance
in every womans life. Much pain is.
however, endured in the belief that it
is necessary and noe alarming, when
in truth it is ali wrong and indicates
arrangement that may cause serious
trouble
Excessive monthly pain itself will
unsettle the nerves and make women
old before their time
The foundation Of woman's health is
a perfectly normal and regu,ar per
Torrance of nature's function. The
statement we print from Miss CIR
TRunk SKIES, of Eldred, Ia, is echoed
in every city, town and hamlet in this
country. Read what she says:
DEAR Mis-. rINKHAM.-I feel like a
new person since following your adj
vice. and think 1t is my duty to lie. the
public know the good your remedies
have done me. My troubles were pain
ful menstruation and leucorrhpa. l
was nervous and had spells Of being
confused. Before using your remedies
l never had any faith i'll patent medi-
cines. ] now wish to say that | never
had anything do me so much good for
painful menstruation as Lydia +. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; also would
say that your Sanative Wash has cured
me Of leueorrhpa. l hope these few
words may help suffering women
The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
ence in treating female Ills is unparal-
leled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia f. Pinkham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as a hundred thousand ailing
women during single year.
All suffering women are invited to
write freely to Mrs. Pinkham, Mt Lynn,
Mass, for advice about their health.
