IA TALK WITH MRS. PINKHAM.1

A with the blues is a very I'm.
comfortable person. She is illogical,
unhappy and frequently hysterical.
The condition of the mind known as
"thc blucs,' nearly always, with wo-
men, results from diseased organs Of
generation.
1t is a source of wonder that in this
g of advanced medical science, any
person should still believe that mere
force of will and determination will
overcome depressed spirits and nerv-
business in women. These troubles are
Indications of disease.
Every woman who doesn't under.
stand her condition should write to
Lynn, Mass, to Mrs. Pinkham for her
advice. Her advice is thorough COM
mon sense. and is the counsel of q
learned M Of great experience.
Read the story of Mrs. +. S. BENNETT,
Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol-
lowing letter:
"DEAR Mrs. P~INKHAM:-I have suf-
fercd for over two years with falling,
enlargement and liberation of the
womb, and this spring, being in such
a weakened condition, caused me to
flow for nearly six months. Some time
ago, urged by friends, ! wrote to you
for advice. After using the treatment
which you advised for a short time,
that terrible flow stopped.
~ am now gaining strength and
flesh, and have better health than I
have had for the past ten years. I
wish to say to all distressed, suffer-
ing women, do not suffer longer, when
there is one SO kind and willing to
aid you"

mans ills. More than a million wo-
men have been benefited by 1t

IN PARIS.

London Chronicle: The latest English
word to be added to the VOCABULARY Of
Partisan argot is the slang description
smart" The Cri de Paris, which pro-
fesses to be an organ of fashion, tells it's
readers that to deserve the epithet
smart" a man must change his clothes
at least three times a day. Up to
o'clock he may wear a suit of tweed, a
colored shirt and a round hat. From
to 6 O'Clock, a white shirt, black frock
or morning coat, with full skirts, dark

fouT-oared race over the two-mile course
to-day was won by Pennsylvania. Time,

cond. Time, II minutes IA 3-5 seconds.
The Freshmen eight-oared race between
Pennsylvania, Columbia, and Cornell,
over the two-mile course. was won by
Cornell. Time minutes 81 seconds. Co
lumbia was second, one and one-quarter
oat-lengths behind Cornell Time 10
minutes. Pennsylvania was third, three
and one-fourth boat-lengths behind Co
lumbia. Time. 10 minutes 10 seconds.
At the crack Of the pistol the two four
cared crews from Cornell and Pennsylva-
MIA took the water together but before
the boats had gone ten lengths ahead the
Quakers. had showed their boats nose
ahead Of Cornell. From mere gain of
inches in the first half-mile the gain Of
the Pennsylvania boat became one OF

the Comedians tried to reduce the lead
but each time the Quakers responded.

the officials. in II minutes. S-5 seconds
CLOSE AND EXCITING.
The Freshman race. which was started
promptly after the fOur-Oared was finish
ed, was one Of the closest and most eX-
citing races seen on the river in years,
the Columbia crew giving the Cornell
crew a sharp and pretty fight for first
place. and making phenomenal time. con-
sdering the slowness Of their stroke. At
the sound of the pistol the crews got
away i'm a bunch. For the first half mile
the struggle was so exciting that the
spectators cheered for each crew.
Close together the three boats hung, but
there was something about the way the
Cornell boat seemed to glide over the
water that made Columbia and Pennsyl-
vania hearts go down. As the crews
reached the mile mark the Cornell boat
was about half a length ont of the
bunch, and soon the lead was a clear
length. Amid the footing Of whistles and
the cheers of the Cornell contingent, the
boats crossed the finish line, Cornell lead
ing with boat and n quarter length 10

The time of Cornell was S:55, not so

that they were really like savages In

Chamberlain on TransvagI Question

BIRMINGHAM. ENG, June 26.-Joseph
Chamberlain. Secretary Of state for the
Colonies. addressed the Unionists of this
city this evening reviewing carefully
the Transvaal question. In the course
of his speech he said that the government
had tried TO establish friendly negotia-
tons with President Kruger but all their
advances had been treated with contempt.
In speaking Of the action of the Beers,
Mr.. Chamberlain with emphasis. added:
1.-THE way British subjects in the Trans
vaal are treated is not menace, but
reflects on our prestige. Besides, the
breaches of the London convention, the
Transvaal is hagrantly violating the
equality that convention was intended TO
secure. Its misgovernment is fostering
sore. poisoning the whole atmosphere or
South Agrica. The Dutch in Cape Colony
and Natal would be in the happiest con-
dItion. but so long as the disease or
hatred and suspicion prevails In the
Transvaal It is impossible to stop the
contagion. -Four times since independence
was granted we have been on the verge
of war with the Transvaal. 1t is erro-
neOus to say the British Government
wants war but ii is equally erroneous 10
say the British Government will drew
back. now that 1t has put its hand to
the ploW."
