GLENDowER-"Iaan call spirits
from the austy DEEP"
HoTsPUR-" Why, so can I, or
so can any man.
"Bnt mil they oonse ayhen you do
call for them e"-SHAKEsPEARE.
How quickly Hotspur's wise and witty
retort tears the tragic mantle in which
Glendower stalks, and shows beneath
the seer's robe, the motley of the mounte-
bank. Most people would have taken
the Welchman at his word, and called
him seer, without noting the difference
between to call and to command.
Certain points of comparison are sug-
gested between Glendower's tragic claim
and the comic claim made in some spe-
cious advertisements. 81 am a woman,
l know all about woman.s / understand
woman, and can cure woman because I
am woman" The modern Mrs Hot
spur puts her finger right on the weak
spot OF that clamorous claim by saying:
why If you can cure woman simply
because you are woman, then so can
and SC can any woman" Which very
plainly brings out the common sense
fact that the cure of diseases does not
depend upon being man or being a
Vonan but does depend upon being
trained and experienced physician.
There is, as far as is known, no quail
fed woman physician associated with
any proprietary medicine firm. 1t is GER
tain that there is no one, man or woman,
who can show an experience or record
equal to that of DR.. R. v. Pierce; more

ems diseases with ninety-eight per cent.

THE GOVERNMENT SUSTAINS GENERAL
BROOKE IN DEALING WITH
THE CUBANS

THE CUBANS
Washington, May 16.-Informaton has reached
the War Department showing that considerable
difficulty will be encountered In the payment OF
the Cuban troops The men In charge Of the
money do not yet know what method is to be
followed in making the payment. A great deal
of work will be necessary In connection with re-
ceiving the arms and in making sure that the
money goes to the proper persons. Many Of the
Cubans cannot write their names. and already
1t has been suggested that in such cases an ofii-
Ger OF the organization should certify for them.
1t was expected that the payment would begin
Yesterday, but the action Of General Gomez will
cause a postponement.
Communications from General Brooke TO the
War Department regarding the situation are not
given to the public but the officials understand
that the source of the present trouble is that
the generals OF the Cuban Army are disap-
pointed because they are not likely to realize as
much out os the money appropriated for the
army as they think they should. These gen
erals" all believed that they would secure pro,
portion Of the money equal to their rank ana

trouble may be traced directly 10 these oiiicelo
