of the Hon John Addison Porter, Sec
rotary to the President, and strongly
favored by many Connecticut Repub-
Leans as the next nominee for COVER

MRS. PINKHAM'S STANDING
INVITATION.

Women suffering from any form Of
female weakness are invited topromptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass. All letters are re-
ceived, opened, read, and answered by
women only. A woman can freely
talk of her private illness to woman.
Thus has been established the eternal
confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and
the women of America which has never
been broken. Out of the vast volume
OF experience which she has to draw
from, it is more than possible that she
has gained the very knowledge that
will help your case. She asks nothing
in return except your good will, and
her advice has relieved thousands.
Surely any woman, rich or poor, is very
foolish If she does not take advantage
of this generous offer of assistance.

IN Europe the powers have their opin-

announcements OF neutrality. at the
same time the voluminous press opin-
ions that have reached this country
during the past thirty days are a pretty
good indication OF the run of senti-
sions from high authority have been
significant.
To all appearance. France Is In
sympathy with Spain. This feeling has
been accounted for. in part. by the
fact that Spanish securities have found
heavy purchasers in France n that

influential newspapers in Paris treat

temper Of these newspapers Is not cas-

Spain is weak. that this country IL

Montana's Soldiers.

~ ONTRARY to what had been the
~ hope of several hundred men in
Montana who belong to the state
militia and who want to go TO war,

unteers, will be a squadron of cavalry.
That is the word received from WASH

ernor and Colonel Kessler: there re-
mains nothing to do but to act in ac-
cordance with the plan that has been
formulated by those in authority at the

This arrangement is a sore disap-
pointment to many of the militiamen of
the state. especially to those who in the
past have given faithful attention to
the duties incident to service in the
state militia, and who know that. in
part at least. the Montana militia is pre-
pared for service that would be eff

part of IL is that Montana is really not
prepared to furnish its quota under the
presidents call made up of men who are
fitted as well for the cavalry branc of
the service as they are for the infantry.
However. this states contribution
must be made up with reference to

Otherwise the foot soldiers must wait in
anticipation of a second call for volun'

selves with the hope that the second
call will not be long delayed. and that
hope is one of the most reasonable
things in the world. Yet. while the
Standard does not wish to add to the
sense of disappointment felt by those
of the in~fantrymen who really wan to
