Andrews of Brown University has ten
dered his resignation. in order to ac-
cept the position OF superintendent of

successor win be. There are, OF course.

FELL DOWN STAIRS.
Mrs. Smith Found Dead and the Medical
Examiner Has Ordered Inquest.

Mrs. A. NJ. Smith. known some time

Saturday morning, in small house on
a by-road between Rocky Point and
Apponaug. and while Medical Exam

surrounding IL are such that he has
reported II TO Coroner Carpenter. who

SINGULAR STATEMENT.


The following letter to Mrs. Pink
ham from Mrs. M. RANK, No. 2,a54
East Susquehanna Ave, Philadelphia,
Pa, Is a remarkable statement of re-
lief from utter discouragement. She
says:
"Inever can find words with which
to thank you for what Lydia +. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has done
for me.
"Some years ago I had womb trouble
and doctored for long time, not see-
ing any improvement At times /
would feel well enough, and other
times was miserable. So it went on
until last October, / felt something
terrible creeping over me, l knew not
what, but kept getting worse can
hardly explain my feelings at that
time. ] was SO depressed in spirits
that did not wish to live, although /
had everything to live for. Had hys-
terra, was very nervous; could not
sleep and was not safe to be left
alone.
Indeed, thought would lose my
mind. No one knows what endured.
81 continued this way until the last
OF February, when saw in a paper
testimonial of lady whose case was
similar to mine, and who had been
cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's vegeta-
BILE Compound. determined to try it,
and felt better after the first dose. /
continued taking it, and to-day am q
well woman, and can say from my
heart, Thank God for such medi-
cine"
Mrs. Pinkham invites all suffering
women to write to her at Lynn, Mass,
for advice. All such letters are seen
and answered by women only.

Our New Battleships.

, DE now have five splendid battle
w ships nearing completion-the
Illinois. Kentucky, Alabama
Wisconsin and Kearsarge. They will be
a notable addition to the American ma
Wy, but they were contracted for before
the war and have not been built in
the light Of the experience Of the battle
of Santiago. They will have a coallng
capacity Of 1000 tons and their maxi
mum speed is to be sixteen knots an
hour. We are about to build three more
battleshipe. and very wisely the navy
department has decided that speed must
he an essential. Instead Of fourteen
and sixteen knots we are to have eigh-
teen, and each one Of the new vessels
viii be able to carry 1900 tons Of coal
and run O.OOO knots at the rate of ten
knots an hour. We have four frst-class
monitors. and II is believed that any
one OF them can sink n battleship
ahoat. In fact the Philadelphia Inquir-
err advances the opinion that a single
monitor is equal TO two battleships, but
these monitors are sluggish i'm move
ment and can carry but very little coal.
They arc meant for defensive fork en-
tirely. II It were possible to build "A
monitor Of great speed and Of great
coalinF capacity no other type Of ves-
sci would equal her. Possibly we shall
reach that point some time. The bat
tleship Of the future must be the one
that can steam rapidly and be heavily
armored. It does not seem TO be so
necessary that the heaviest guns should
be used, although these vessels win be
fitted with them. II was the smaller
guns i'm the fight OFF Santiago that did
the business.

New Nork's UnpopuiaTity.

Mr.. McEwen fails altogether to strike
at the root Of the matter. New York Is
amazingly ignorant Of the rest Of the
country particularly OF the South and
West. yet it constantly affects airs Of
superiority. Its attitude is precisely
that Of Grover Cleveland, himself a
typical New York provincialist, when
he invcighed against the undesirable
states outside of California, the peo-
plc Of the West are largely eastern
born and bred. and they know the alb
surdity OF New York's pretensions.
