The fact that several dollars spent for the
right medicine has effected cure where
skilled and expensive physician aided by
the latest and most ingenious instrument OF
science, had failed, Is a matter Of much
importance.
Important, because It opens to downcast
Sufferers a new, inexpensive and sure
avenue to the restoration of health and the
fell enjoyment of the pleasures of life.
Sssch was the experience of Mrs. Ada
nj. Herr, of 439 North Charlotte Street,
Lancaster, Pa.
From a weak, nervous, despondfng per
son, she was made strong, active woman
and cheerful, helpful wife.
Her story Is interesting.
Mrs. Herr suffered txrribly from female
disorders. Her nerves became unStrung,
cramps eriped her and caused the most
intense pain.
So weak and physically demorA1ized
was she, that the slightest labor wearied
her and household duties were burden.
The most alarming symptoms of her
ma1ady were the frequent fainting spells
that afflicted her.
In the midst of her work, or In a con-
versation, dizziness would come upon her
and she would fall PROSTATE IN a swoon.
She consulted reputable physician. He
diagnosed her case and prescribed the usual
remedies.
Instead of improving, she continued to
grow worse the ai1ment that was robbing
her life of the joys of young womanhood
Became more pronounccd.

POLICEMAN OF AMERICA
Is What Senator Tillman Styles the
United States.

Washington, April 16.-Speaking to the
Cuban resolution Senator TiIlnan made
the direct charge that the house anu
senate had practically agreed upon the
form of a resolution to be presented
simultaneously to both bodies pending
the reception of the message and he
called upon the members of the COM
mittee of foreign relations to deny the
truthfulneSS of that statement.
The senator waited a morent for an
interruption, but it did not come.
IF the resolution as reported by
majority of the committee on foreign
relations was adopted it would give the
president the right to determine who
the Cuban people were and the manner
of their government. Who is going to
constitute the returning board Who
are going to count the VOteS?" said the
senator in one of his crescendo periods
The whole world is becoming slave
great crisis is predicated upon the de-
mand of the syndicates that control
every avenue of trade and commerce.
The bond of the corporation is stronger
than the mantle sinister erect of the
dollar is paramount in this capital"
He inquired if the hypnotic influences
abroad in the land would obtain. and il
under the narcotic sleep, Cuba would be
saddled with a debt not CT her own
choosing. I'VE propose to take possess
sion of Cuba as the policeman of the
western continent was one of his most
declarative utterances. Then, with in
Election, rising at the termination Of
each word, he said:
Bonds! Bonds! Bonds! Nothing but
bonds throughout tho message" He
said that whatever resolution was pass
ed, war was inevitable. My people do
not want war. God knows they would
rather nave peace. They have seen the
horrors of war. Their fairest flowers
were given for burial purposes Our
one jewel was sent back to us for inter
ment. We have had our ill of blood
letting, but the great fellow feeling Of
sympathy has gone out to the men of
the Maine, and the lighted fuse which
caused the explosion of the bomb under
blood of our revolutionary sires, CRYING
through the men of South Carolina, de-
mands justice for the asShssins who
sent our brave sailors to~an untimely
death"

WILL BE A MASSACRE.
Spaniards Will Kill All Cubans and
Americans in Havana in
Case of War.


New York. April 16.-Senor Leopold
Dolz, professor of law at the Havana
university. who arrived with other Gu
bans on the steamship Seneca from Ha-
lowing statement regarding affairs in
Cuba:
Il left Havana with my family be-

ties means the massacre of all the Gu

Tess to believe that there will be no war
or even if there shall be, that they are
as safe as if in the United States 9th

.When we left Havana it was quieter
than New York. The SpaniardS believe
the armiStice was brought about bv the
United States and that it means the end
of all the trouble between the two coun-
tries Just the same they are concen-
frating their troops in the large sea
port towns and are mining all the har-
bors.
Two large magazines have just been
completed in Moro castle. The Spanish
officials have a complete list of all the
Spaniards and Cubans between the
ages of IL and As years that can bear
arms and If there is war all will be
drafted.
The troops and officers believe vic
tory over the Americans absolutely GER

present time, but it is generally under

No discovery of modern times has proved
such boon to women as Dr.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. Acting directly on
the blood and nerves, invigorating the body,
regulating the functions, they restore the
strength and health to the exhausted woman
when every effort Of the physician proves
unavai1ing.
These pills are recognized everywhere
as a specific for diseases of the blood and
nerves. For paralysis, 1ocomotor ataxia,
and other diseases long supposed incurable,
they have proved their efficacy IN thousands
of cases. Truly they are one of the greatest
blessings ever Bestowed upon mankind.

Meat and Drink in Old England.
From the Cornhill Magazine

From the Cornhill Magazine.
According to Chaucer, the more we'll
o-do of the working classes evidently spent
a vast deal of time at the public house,
eating and drinking, telling idle tales, play
ing at skittless when the weather was fine,
singing rhymes of "Robin Hood, - or
listening to fiddlers and pipers, or to glee-
men and janglers Of iests-that is to say,
ballad singers and professional story tellers.
At high prime-the hour in the middle of
the forenoon when agricultural work broke
off, as it still does, for a brief rest and
slight meal-Langland speaks of the plows
standing idle in the field while the plow-
men sit at the ale and sing Chow trolly
lolly." The cook comes out to the tavern
door and cries, "Hot pies, hotT' and the
alewife fills pots of half and half by pour
ing penny ale and pudding ale together.
Indoors there is plenty of food in great
variety for such as can afford thread
and broth, potfuls of boiled peas and beans,
pieces of salt bacon, stewed fowls, fried
fish, baked meat, green cheese, curds and
cream and baked apples.
Poorer people had to be content with
half-penny ale, and bread not made of
clean wheat, but of oatmeal or beans and
bran. Idlers are threatened that they
''shall eat of barley bread and of the brook
drink but it would seem that water
drinking, except under some religious rule,
was not common even among the poor,
who drank milk and mean ale-I suppose
the same at what Langland elsewhere calls
farthing ale, and not much more than
water with taste in it. In the profuse
use of vegetables the English of the four
teenth century were like the modern
French peasantry, All through summer,
till Lammas-tide brought harvest to the
croft and new corn came to cheaping, oc-
casional fowls and bacon were the mere
embroidery upon the peas, leeks, cabbages,
onions, parsley and beans which together
with the coarse bread and the abundant
milk and cheese, were the staple of poor
nannln'c diat

We do not take hopeless view of the
situation. Our opinion is that the disease
will work its own remedy. Trusts and
monopolies will not always ride rough shod
upon the necks Of the people. The peo-
pie have created them by granting them
special privileges, and they will unmake
them by the reverse process. Some are
yet so blind that they cannot see that it is
these monsters that are destroying the
peace and happiness of the country, but
such will have their eyes opened The
injury and wrong done is coming home to
more and more people as the months go

and punished.
Say you, gentle reader, that it is too
late, that there is no remedy, that monop-
olies are to continue to rule and oppress ?
Not 50; the people will yet rise in their
might and strangle them to death. There
is no permanent place in "a government
