OVATION TO CARR.
The North Carolina Volunteers
Receive Him JOyfully.

(Cor. Raleigh News & Observer.)
Jacksonville. Fla June A.
Announcement of arrival of Col.
Julian S. Carr, famous Durham
tobacco manufacturer, was to-day
the signal for rejoicing in the
North Carolina camp. The en-
thusiasm was especially great in
the Durham company. for the
men knew that this philanthropic
man came laden with good things
for them.
When Col. Carr appeared in
camp this afternoon he was
given an ovation equal to that
accorded General Lee. It very
properly began with the Durham
boys and spread from tent to tent
and company to company until
the cheers were dcafening. 81

Philippines"
Col. Carr will be here a week
and says he will how the boys
are living from private up to
officer. He took supper with the
Durham company tonight.
Gen. Lee to-day changed the
name of camp to "Gamp Cuba Lii
bre," and decided that the insignia
for the Seventh army corps will
be seven stars on collar of officers
and seven on hat for privates.

Hawaii and Martinique.

The relations of this country
to its contemporaries receive no
attention from those opposing
Hawaiian annexation as the ageut
of beet sugar. The opportunities
that the progress of time brings
to the United States to enlarge
and strengthen its place in the
world. to grow in power and 10
size. as it has grown steadily and
gloriously since the days of Thom-
as Jefferson, do not interest the
statesmen whose views OF this
country's future, otherwise able
and patriotic, are kept small by
hopeless provincialism. But to
the mass Of the American people
it will be interesting and IN
stuctive to hear thatsthe unfortu-
nate circumstance of Hawaii's
having been kept out of tn United
States is already the cause of
international friction. and hence
of national difficulty.
Some time ago the United
States protested to France
against the permission to coal
which was given to the Spnish
feet at Martinique. Frances
reply was substantially. How
about your action in Hawaii?.'
The French consul at Hawaii has
also protested against the i'm
pending violation of neutrality
that is expected to occur when
the cruiser Charleston reaches
there on her way to relieve Dew
ey at Manila. Other American
ships are to follow the same
route for the same purpose.
No American with his eyes
open will hesitate to applaud the
President if, thinking the neces-
sity for it to be Imperative. be

the American flag at Honolulu.
But it is not patriotic cooperation
in the task of carrying on the
war for Congress to sit doing
nothing about Hawaii because an
extreme power to protect us from
serious International complica
tions happens to be u the Presi.

ing than that.
Why does not this House Of
Representatives show itselt
worthy of being the popular
branch of the national Legislature
by passing the Newlauds resolu.
ton before sunset, and then why
will the Senate not pass it before
the clock strikes II to nights
When arguments for Hawaiian
annexation crop up in kilograms
over the cable between the
United States aud other conntrie:
it is time for Congress to act.

no institution equal to DIR. Pieree's in the
whole country; that for anyone else TO Of
fer what he offers is to promise what
cannot be performed; that no other insti-
tuition has equal facilities for the treat
ment of chronic diseases.
In the work of the Worlds Dispensary
and Invalids' Hotel and Surgical institute
there is real philanthropy as well as real
medical and surgical skill. The best rec
ognition of the philanthropic aspect of
this work comes from the citizens of Buff
falo, DIR. Pierce's home town, who elected
him State senator and later gave him a
seat in Congress. From the latter posi-
ton DR.. Pierce resigned before the expi-
ration of his term. That he should pre-
fer to give up a high and honorable po-
sition in the councils of the nation TO
serve the sick is conclusive evidence of
his devotion to their interests and of love
for his profession. Perhaps we can offer
our readers no better summing up of DR..
Pierce and his work than that of Presi-
dent Garfield, who said: HE is one of
the best men in the world, and he is at
the head of one of the best institutions

A Petition From the Citizens of the

"A communication was recently sent to
the District Commissioners by the
Northeast Citizens Suburban Associa-
tion. commencing the extension of New
York Avenue eastward to the District
line. AT the present time the thorough
fare terminates at the intersection of
Brentwood Road and Fourth Street
northeast. If extended it would furnish
direct route to the city from Langdon

from the association invites attention to
the resolutions which were adopted by II
at recent meeting, directing its mem
bers to call upon the District Commits
sioners for the purpose of urging the ex-
tension of the avenue to the District
line. The letter also calls attention
to the gross inequality and injustice of
the present law regarding the extension
of water mains into the suburbs and
asks the Commissioners to prepare a bill
or an amendment making some Just and
equitable arrangement for extending
such mains.
These notifications of the law govern

The Commissioners have replied to that
portion of the Citizens Association
which refers to the extension of New

that organization that, under existing
conditions, it is impossible for the Com

toward the condemnation or opening OF

wonderful cures of that class OF diseases
known as female troubles" To the
treatment and cure of these diseases he
has given over thirty years of his profess
eional life, and has established himself as
the specialist par excellence in the treat
ment of diseases peculiar to women.
The esteem In which DR.. Pierce is held
by women is not to be wondered at when
It is known that in the thirty years, and
over. in which he has given attention TO
woman's diseases, he has, aided by his
staff of nearly score of experienced and
Skilled specialists, treated over half a mil
Hon women, and with such success that
ninety-eight out of every hundred treated
have been absolutely and altogether cur
ed.
Doubtless there are other reasons why
multftudes of women consult DR.. Pierce
by letter. and as not the least among
such reasons women would set down the
friendly, even fatherly, advice which the
age and experience of DIR. Pierce enable
him to give as supplemental to the advice
and instructions of the physician. Wo-
men, also are not slow to remember that
DR.. Pierce, through his method of consul
tation by correspondence was the first
physician to offer them relief from the
unpleasant questions, the offensive exami-
nations, and the local treatments gener-
diseases of women by local practitioners.
OF course, DR.. Pierce has had many im-
tators, who steal the terms which his ad-
vertisements have made familiar, to use
them as their "catch-words," and so 10
draw the attention of women in
their direction. The most notice
able feature of these limitations is
that women with dangerous dis
eases are urged to consult by letter some
.fr
er the educational ability nor the legal
right 10 treat disease. And sometimes,
because IL is impossible for these adver-
tisers TO lay claim to the title of physi-
clan. they raise clanor of write to a
woman" Woman understands won-
an" hoping doubtless by this artifice to
draw away attention from the fact that
they do not and cannot offer the advice
of a qualified physician. But women are
quick to see that woman unless educat-
ed in medicine and qualified to practice
can give no advice upon disease that
would not be liable to be as dangerous
as the disease itself. For there is no
place where ignorance is SO dangerous as
when it undertakes to med.ile with a
worlan's health.
That class of advertisers who raise the
cry OF write to a woman" are getting 10

head. a stalking horse to shelter the man
who preys on woman's confidence. An ex-
ample OF the peculiarly preposterous
claims made by these people is found in
the claim that a ''man can't understand
woman-Just because he is man."
The only way in which this can be inter-
preted as true is by accepting the state
ment In its bare iteralness as of man
