A Notable Speech.

Advocates of a pan,Anglican alliance
or understanding are delighted with the
reports of the speech delivered at Bir-
mingham, England, Friday night by
Joseph Chamberlain, British secretary
of state for the colonies.
Mr.. Chamberlain is regarded as one
of the most important factors in En-
gish political life. He has shown that,
with the exception perhaps of Lord
Salisbury himself, he is the most i'm
portant member of the present British
cabinet. He has already accomplished
much in the direction of welding the
mother country aid the colonies togeth-
er in worldwide empire ready to act
together for defense and aggression in
time of peril, and now he proposes to
90 further, and in public speech sends
a mes age of sympathy and fellowship
across the ocean to the United States
in her war with Spain.
While he says nothing of the kind
in words, in effect he virtually an
nounces to all continental Europe that
any combination of continental powers
oroi,,et tbo Tr,;toJ Ct,to, WOULD G,l
Great Britain on the side of this coun-
try, and the stars and stripes and the
union jack waving together over an
Anglo-Saxon alliance.
Public men appreciate the friendly
sentiments Of the English people and
the English government at this time.
1t is appreciated all the more for the
reason that other European countries,
notably France, Germany and Austria
have given evidence of leaning toward
Spain, while England alone has seemed
to be able to appreciate the humanita
rian motives of this country in interven
ing to stop the cruel rule Of Spain il
Cuba.
The effect such a speech as that o
Mr.. Chamberlain will have on Eu
ropean governments, it is believed, viii
be salutary and will tend to restrain
any government that might have beer
leaning toward a policy of opposition
to the Uuited States in the war witt
Spain.

Alliance between the United States

Alliance between the United States
and Great Britain would be looked up.
on with disfavor by every nation IN
Europe. Such an alliance would prob
ably be extended so as to include Jap.
an, and these three nations, working in
harmony and along the same lines,
would be able to dominate all the seas
and rapidly take to themselves the
lions share of the worlds commerce.
Mr. Chamberlain's speech is looked
upon as notice to continental Europe
that it can in no way accelerate the for
nation of such an alliance as effectually
as by combining with Spain against the
United States.

The pessimistic ante war predis-
lions seem to be vanishing. r. G.
Dun & Cos weekly review of trade
for last Saturday says;
Hostilities have lasted long enough
to kill many predictions, if but few
Americans. The European notion
that the United States would begin
by having a bad half hour, the theo,
rists' notion that Everybody knows a
great panic must follow the outbreak
of war;" the commercial buyers no.
ton that everybody would be ready
to sell everything they had if war
came, the notion that it would pay to
hoard money until the emergency had
passed, have all been made laughable
The New York panic was when money
lenders were wondering what deadly
impossibiiues the unknown might
have in store for them. The only
hindrance of industry has been due
to the waiting of buyers who looked
for lower prices.
Nothing disheartening can be seen
in the industrial situation except the
closing of some cotton mills owing to
over-production and the fall of print
cloths to 81 cents. Cotton has not
risen above 6.73 cents and many
stories of reduced acreage are current,
as year ago, but they do not weigh
much in view of actual receipts of
10,500,000 bales. The sales of wool
have been only 4,055, 900 pounds at
the three chief markets for the two
weeks, against IA, $500, 400 last year
and l. ,216,750 in 1892, but prices
are somewhat more firm and there is
more demand for goods apart from
the large government orders. The
demand for boots and shoes, having
passed all records in recent months
has abated and yet many orders are
coming forward, and just at the point
where there is general change from
one season to another the actual re.
ceipts are 2 per cent larger than last
year and II per cent larger than il
1892, though smaller than in Other
years. Leather is rising, with no &C
tive demand, and hides at Chicago
have advanced about 4 per cent il
spite of the fact that cattle slaugh
tered at the four chief western mark
cts this year to May l were 1913,
955 head, against l ,025 1871 last yea
and considerably more than in any
other year except 1898 and 1894.

relation to the war, if true. Remem-

President Mckinley has awakened to
the fact that he cannot carry on a
peaceful war. He, it is said, will
abolish that monstrosity, the board
of strategy, and allow our naval COM
manders to act their own judgement,
IN measure. He, it is also said,
will issue orders directing our naval
force to destroy all Spanish forts and
gunboats on the Cuban coast. This
is all eminently sensible, but why was
it not done three weeks ago ! 1t
would probably have saved the lives

FIBROID TUMOR
Expelled by Lydia E. Pinkham's
 Vegetable Compound.

MRS. B. A. LOMBARD, Box Fl, Vest dale, Mass, writes: :" l have reason to think that I would not be here now If it had not been for Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound. It cured me of fbroid tumor in my womb.
 "Doctors could donothing forme, and they could not cure me at the hospital. l will tell you about it:
 "I had been in my usual health, but had worked quite hard. When my monthly period came on, I flowed very badly. The doctor gave me medicine, but it did me no good. He said the flow must be stopped if possible, and he must find the cause of my trouble.
 "Upon examination, he found there was fbroid tumor in my womb, and gave me treatment without any benefit whatever. About that time a lady called on me, and recommended Lydia, E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound l; said she owed her life to it. said l would try it, and did. Soon after the flow became more natural and regular. I still continued taking the Compound for some time. Then the doctor made an examination again, and found every thing all right. The tumor had passed away, and that dull ache was gone.'
 It can be truthfully stated that such aresult can be accomplished by no other remedy upon the market, and forcibly proves the peculiar virtue of the Vegetable Compound

LOOKING FOR THE MURDERER.


 Detectives Get Clues to the Wherea-
 bouts of Paul Mueller, But Fail to
 Capture Him-Seen on Union Street.
 Detective Proctor of Boston and De- tective Murray of Boston, the Massa- chusetts detectives, are still in New Haven on the lookout for Paul Mueller, the farm-hand who is suspected of hav- ing murdered three members of the Newton family in Brookfield, Mass, few days ago. The officers still have clues which lead them to believe that Mueller Is In New Haven or in this vi- cinity. All the New Haven patrolmen have been given description of the suspect and are on the lookout for him. Yesterday afternoon bundle of old clothing was found in box car at the Cedar Hill yards and taken by Officer J. J. McAvoy to the Grand avenue po- lice station. From there the bundle was sent to the central police station to be examined by the detectives. It was at first thought that the clothes were some that had been discarded by Muel- Ter, as they closely answered the de- scription of the clothes worn by Muel- Ter. After examining the clothes, how ever, the detectives concluded that they were not those which belonged to Muel- Ter.
 It has been reported that man an swering Mueller's description was in various saloons on Union street nearly all the afternoon Tuesday. The man was spending money freely and atten- ton was attracted to him from the fact that he offered in payment for drinks which he purchased so many old coins. The same man, who is thought un- doubtedly to have been Mueller, dined at a cheap restaurant on lower State street the same day. The fact of his having been seen on Union street caus- ed the detectives and men who are working for them to keep sharp look out in that locality yesterday and last night.
 Yesterday afternoon Detective Don nelly and the Massachusetts detectives went to Centerville to look for Mueller having heard that he was seen there on Tuesday night.

A FRIENDS TRIBUTE.

The following lines have been select ed and sent to the Courier by Mrs. A.
 Angus as fitting tribute ,t to the memory of the much lamented little
 Matthews girl, who died at the hospital last Sunday:
 shine in the light of God,
 His likeness stamps my brow,
 Through the shadows or death
 My feet have trod,
 And I reign in glory now.
 No breaking heart is here;
 No keen and thrilling pam,
 No wasted cheek where the frequent tear
 Hath rolled and left it's stain.
 I have found the joy of heaven;
 I am one of the angel band;
 To my head a crown Is given
 And harp is in my hand.
 I have learned the song they sing, Whom Jesus hath made free, And the glorious walls of heaven still ring With my newborn melody;
 No sin, no grief. no pain Safe in my happy home;
 My fears all fled, my doubts all slain; My hour of triumph come. o friends of my childhood days, The trusted and the true!
 You're walking still in the vale of tears, But I wait to welcome you. Do forget? Oh. no; For memory's golden chain Doth bind my heart to the hearts below Till they meet and touch again.
 Each link is strong and bright And loves electric flame Flows freely down, like a river of light, | To the world from whence came. 1 Do you mourn when another star | Shines out from the glittering sky? l Do you weep when the noise I Of war and the rage of conflict die? l Then why should your tears roll down ! And your hearts with grief be riven, For another gem in the Savior's crown
 And another soul in heaven.
