Haul at Detroit.
Washington, Aug. Is. - Information
has been received by Chief Wilkie, of
the treasury secret service, of the ar
rest at Detroit, Mich, of a gang of
counterfeiters whose operations have
given the government considerable
trouble. They are Charles, Edward
and David Johnson, with headquarters
at 794 Twenty-sixth street, from
which, through the efforts of Secret
Service Operator Webb, the depart
ment has secured the important para
phernalia used by the men. Charles
and Edward were arrested on Friday
on the charge of passing counterfeit
quarters, and this was followed up by
the arrest of David and search OF
the premises. Chief Wilkie regards
the arrest as a most important one as
he Identifies the men with the issues
of the Hancock and Window 81 coun-
terfeits which have been circulated
freely ing the West, and also III the
East during the last eight years. At
the headquarters of the gang the OIL

Important to Mothers.

The manufacturers of Castoria nave been
compelled to spend hundreds of thousands of
dollars to familiarize the public with the sig
matt re of Chas Fl. Fletcher. This has been
necessitated by reason of pirates counterfeit
ing the Castoria trade mark This counter
feiting is a crime not only against the proprie
tors of Castoria, but against the growing
generation All persons should be careful to
see that CaStoria bears the sigma ture OF Chas.
H. Fletcher, if they would guard the health of
their children Parents and mothers, in par
ticular, ought to carefully examine the
Castora advertisements which have been APP
pearing in this paper, and to remember that
the wrapper of every bottle of genuine CaStoria
bears the fac-simile signature of Chas. HI.
Fletcher. under whose supervision it has been
manufactured continuously for over thirty
years

William Marriott.

Are Sure to Come to blows, says Sic
William Marriott.
New York, Aug. 13.-Rt. Hon. Sir
William Marriott, the British prlvy
councillor, who has arrived here, eX-
pressed his views regarding an ALI
ance between the United States and
Great Britain and of the contest be-
tween his country and Russia.
We don't want an alliance" SAD
Sir William, 'but what we do want is
good understanding between the two
nations. England is anxious to avoid
a war with the United States, as the
two countries are Anglo-Saxon. What
ever differences may arise between
them should be settled by arbitration.
England and America. with good I'M
Outstanding between them, could defy
the world. Yes, there is strong prob
ability that England and Russia Will
go to war. 1t has been brewing for
long time, but it must come. 1t has
simply been delayed by the kinship ex-
listing between the royal families OF
those countries. Russia will not fight
quite as hard as England when the
crash occurs"

AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM.

Mrs. w. E. PAXTON, youngstown,
Nortb Dakota, writes about her strug-
gle to regain health after the birth of
her little girl:
"DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-It is with
pleasure that / add my testimony to
your list, hoping that it may induce
others to avail themselves of your val
liable medicine.
after the birth of my little girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor. l had leucorrhea badly, and a
terrible bearingdown pain which
gradually grew worse, until | could do
no work Also had headache nearly
all the time, and dizzy feelings. Men
situations We're very profuse, appear
ing every two weeks.
81 took medicine from good doctor,
but it seemed to do no good. I was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when / read your advertisement in a
paper I sent at once for a bottle of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
ponnd and after taking two-thirds of
the bottle I felt so much better that /
send for two more. After using three
bottles l felt as strong and well as any
one.
CT think it is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it to every lady l meet suf-
fering from this trouble.
Maternity is wonderful experience
and many women approach it wholly
unprepared. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrify women.
The advice of Mrs. Pinkham is freely
offered to all expectant mothers, and
her advice is beyond question the most
valuable to be obtained If Mrs. Pax
ton had written to Mrs. Pinkham be-
fore confinement she would have been
saved much suffering Mrs. Pinkham's
address is Lynn, Mass.

London, Aug. 13.-The morning pa

The Daily Graphic says: IF this

The Shanghai correspondent OF the

says: at is nothing less than an Of
fensive alliance. China undertakes TO
regard Russia as having preponder-
ating influence on all questions of COM
mercial and international policies,
Willie Russia will support China
against all open-door' demands.
Tie French press comments gleetul-
ly upon the situation and the news
papers at Berlin and Vienna are at no
pains to hide their satisfaction at the
discontinue of England. The con-
tinental press regards the project Of
an Anglo American alliance as chimer-
ical These journals consider that the
United States have had enough OF war
for the present and will not care to
give Great Britain anything more than
moral support in China.
