with loud applause.
"Your acclamations," said General

plish it in lS99 They are chiefly ad-
dressed to our dear army. Of which, at

OUR BEARDED
LADY.

Designing men, through alluring and cum
ningly worded advertisements, constantly
endeavor to work upon the feelings Of sick
and ailing women BY inviting them "towrite
to q uomdn q and secure a uomon's SYM
pathy." It is we'll to remember that the
best sympathy is to had at home and not
from strangers, perhaps hundreds Of miles
distant. The object of the sick is to get we'll.
and however precious sympathy may be. il
never yet cured a seriously afflicted woman.
While the sympathy of your milliner or
dressmaker might be appreciated and be
just as beneficial, II not more SO, thar sym.
pathy from a stranger, yet it can not effect
your cure if you are an ailing woman.
It is loudly proclaimed through the press
that "a woman can best understand a
woman's ailments" and on this ground sick
women are invited to write to a woman"
and get the benefit of a womau's advice.
The sort of understanding Of her ailments
wanted by a sick woman is a trained medi-
cal understanding. If a woman has this
trained medical knowledge she understands
woman's ailments NOT as a roman, but as a
Physician. If she is not a doctor she cannot
understand the ailments at all, and cannot
treat them successfully, because she lacks
the necessary training.
AS far as known, there is no regularly
Qnalihed woman physician connected with
any proprietary medicine especially de-
signed for women-no one, therefore quail
fed by learning and experience, to advise
on questions Of disease and its cure.
1t is certain that there is no one, man or
woman, connected with any put up"
medicine for women, excepting only DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription, who. like
DR.. Pierce, is a regular graduated and quail
fed physician, and who has, like him, de-
voted more than thirty years to the special
study and treatment of diseases Of women.

MARSHALL, Mich. May l2.-The Ri.
Rev. Bishop Hawley of 81. Johns, n.

Mary's church TO a large class. In an
interview, Bishop Hawley said:
The public sentiment Of Newfound-
land IS more in favor Of annexation 10
America than Of confederation with
Canada. This feeling has been accen-
tuated by the fact that the country has
oeen recently betrayed and drawn into
a most shameful rilway contract by a
Canadian syndicate and Canadian poll
ticians. 1t amount to a virtual swind-
ling of the country out Of a $l3. 000. 00U

Derate fight for our freedom is now i'm

will be defeated and the contract broken

mediate prospect Of the settlement of

rlication arises, not from any intrinsic
difficulty in the negotiations, but be.
cause politicians have always thought
Of 1t rather as a mean Of exploiting
their own popularity than Of relieving
the country Of the grave burden Of the
French aggressions."

To the Effect That All Offers OF

Observation-Disclosures in

That al Exactly Opposite Condi-
ton EXisted-.SOme Ameri-
can Offers.

WASHINGTON. May l2.-The state
ments Of the press of London and Can
ada respecting the reasons for the re-
cent failure of the negotiations with
Canada have occasioned much surprise
in the official world of Washington.
These statements assume that Can
adams made all the offers of conces-
sions. the United States commissioners
standing by existing conditions. The
facts as understood here are directly
contrary to that view. There are GER
tain facts tending to contradict the
statements of the British press which
the Associated Press is now able to
make known for the first time. Take
the question Of trade with Canada for
example. 1t is positively known that
the Americans offered absolute free
trade in mineral products. an important
concession i'll duty on lumber and
on most agricultural products. 1t is
also known that they offered liberal
terms for the adjustment of the Boring
sea sealing question, and offered an am
icable methodfor the adjustment of the
boundary question, yielded to Cana.la's
views III respect TO alien labor and to
lake fisheries. and offered reciprocal
mining privileges. Indeed. if the oplH-
ion in Well informed circles here is we'll
founded, nearly every offer of conces-
sions proceeded from the side of the
United States, the Canadians as a rule
declining to commit themselves to any
distinct proposition on the foregoing
topics. the Alaska boundary excepted.
In fact. it is universally believed at
Washington that distinct offers for a
settlement came almost wholly from
United states commissioners.
