TOLD THEM CURRENCY WAS GOOD

Boston, February 1.-THE last day of
President McKinieys visit to Boston was
spent in one continual round of pleasure
and the different events which were crowd
ed into the few remaining hours followed
each other with bewildering rapidity.
The president arose and breakfasted at
o'clock, and at 10 was en- route to re-
mont Temple, where he spoke to the men,
bers of the Massachusetts department of
the Grand Army of the Republic, who
we're assembled in annual convention. I'M
mediately following this, carriages were
taken for the state house, where the presi-
dent visited the legislature in joint session
and made an inspiring address. Here also
Secretary Long created much amusement
ny his witticsms and his illusions to the
time when he welded the gavel as speaker
of the Massachusetts house of representa-
tives. After short reception the presi-
Dental party was taken on a tour through
the sub-quay, and then to the Algonquin
club, where a breakfast was rendered to

the gentlemen by the members of the
Commercial club.
At 4:S0 the party was taken to the South
Terminal station, and they left for WASH
ington on their special train at $40.
The president left in excellent health
and expressed himself as having enjoyed
every moment of his trip.
Before the Legislature
The presidents address to the joint ses-
sion was as follows:
Gentlemen of the General Court:
Although limited for time, couldn't
deny myself the honor of accepting the in
vitation officially extended by joint resolu-
tion of your honorable body, which l had
the pleasure of receiving from the hands
of your distinguished senior senator. Hon.

your generous action and it cannot be more
sincere than the feeling of pleasure which

sentatives of the great commonwealth of
Massachusetts,
81 am glad to be in this ancient capital.
Here great public questions have had free
discussion Here great statesmen, whose
names live in their country's history, have
received their training and voiced their en-
lightened opinions of their countrymen.
Here through the century you have chosen
your fellow-citizens to represent you in the
councils of the nation through that great
parliamentary body, the senate of the
United States You have chosen well ana
leaders you have never lacked.

"It was in the Massachusetts, house OF
representatives that John A. Andrew made
the speech for human liberty which touched
the hearts of his fellow citizens and made
him your great war governor. Nor do l

of this legislative body was occupied by
your former governor and representative In

FORMAL EXPRESSION
OF Sorrow in Washington Over Faure's
Death.

Washington, February 17.-Aside from the
transmission of formal expressions of sor-
row and sympathy, little further action by
this government because of the death Of
President Faure will be taken.
The state department will probably in
struct Ambassador Porter to present for
al tribute on behalf of the president. On the
day of President Faure's funeral 1t is prob
able that requiem mass will be said fo-'
the dead In one of Washingtons churches,
invitations for which will be sent to the
president, members of the cabinet, MEM
bers of congress and representatives of for
eign governments resident here. This was
done when President Carnot was assassina-
ted and when the Empress of Austria re-
stances are transmitted by the state depart
ment to the members of the government
and the foreign representatives in Washing
ton are invited through tho diplomatic Of
flee of the bereaved country.
The note addressed by Secretary Hay to-
M. Thicbut follows:
washington D. c.. February II, 1899.
my dear Thiebut: / have this moment
heard the news of the death of your pres
ident and hasten to express my feelings of
sorrow and sympathy. Nowhere will the re-
greet at tho sudden termination of a great
career be more profound or sincere than in
this country which is bound by so many
ties of gratitude and esteem to the great
republic of France.
II am, dear Thiebut, sincerely yours,

THE WEATHER.
Mr.. Jacobs Went Wrong on the Predic-
tions Yesterday.

Forecast for Alabama today: Cloudy;
probably rain, with light easterly winds.
Weathermaker Jacobs some times guesses
wrong and he had another guess coming
yesterday, since his predictions for fair
weather, were anything but realized. The
temperature ranged between sc and 43 de-
grees above with the wind from the south
west, which was some improvement over
the below zero weather and cutting north
winds of the early part of the week.
Plumbers are still In demand and many
people are borrowing water from their more
fortunate neighbors who went through the
freeze without broken pipes.

toria as yet, has made no sign, but Lord
Salisbury has in a message to Nj. Delcasse.
The car and ezarina are full of sympathy
and the Russian Grand Duke now in Paris
have called at the palace.
NJ. Faure's death has Gained rather
than excited political parties. The situa-
ton is grave and the people everywhere
feel this. 1t was struck at the chamber of
deputies today with the absence of wild ex-
citement. The wish is to select the best
man for president, irrespective of party
considerations. N. Loubet is, therefore,
the favorite. M. Dupuy is candidate and
Paul Deschannel, the president of the
chamber, will be a candidate, but on sec
ond ballot He has charm of manner, but
is lacking in weight. M. de Freycinet, the
war minister, is clever, but he has no great
following In parliament.

NERVOUS DEPRESSION.
IA TALK WITH MRS. p1NKHAM.]

TALK WITH INKS. fINkhAm.J
A woman with the blues is very un-
comfortable person. She is illogical,
unhappy and frequently hysterical.
The condition of the mind known as
"the blues" nearly always, with wo-
men, results from diseased organs of
generation.
1t is source of wonder that in this
age 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 o
learned woman of great experience.
Head the story of Mrs. f. s. BENNETT,
Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol-
lowing letter:
"DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I have suf-
fered for over two years with falling,
enlargement and liberation of the
womb, and this spring, being in such
o 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.
81 am now gaining strength and
flesh, and have better health than I
have had for the past ten years. /
wish to say to all distressed, suffer-
ing women, do not suffer longer, when
there is one so kind and willing to
aid YOU"

whether the one or the other 1t is here and
conscience and civilization require us TO
meet 1t bravely. Desert.on of duty is not
an American habit. 1t was not the GUS
tom of the fathers and will not be the prac-
tice of their sons.'
The applause that followed the president
remarks continued for some minutes The
members of the joint convention were then
introduced to the president, standing IN
front of the speakers desk. After the menu
bers had resumed their seats, there were
loud cries for Secretary Long. who gave a
brief and humorous talk and introduced
Secretary Gage to the convention. Secretary
Gage closed the speeehmaking. the party
then proceeded to the Algonquin club house,
where the Commercial club was assembled.
The president spoke as follows:
To the Commercial Club
at am glad to meet the members of the
Commercial club and the business men or

upon the better conditions of trade now
prevailing throughout the country. The last
two months have marked great changes
and brought business improvement to in
dustrial America. The man of affairs feels
better because his affairs are In a better
state. He is more comfortable than he has
been for many vars. He has taken on new
courage and confidence. He is satisfied
with the revenue and financial policies of
his country.

business, domestic and foreign, unparalleled
in any former operations of the United
States. An enormous export trade had made
American balances satisfactory and almost

discussing tariffs and turned our attention
to getting trade wherever it can be found
1t will be long time before any changes
detrimental in any wise will be inaugural
ed, as the repellant forces are continually
being strengthened. The differences on
these questions which existed have disap-
peared. We have turned from academic
theories to trade conditions and are seeking
our share of the worlds markets.
Our Money Is Good
mot only is our business good, but our
money is good. No longer is there fear
of a debased currency, as 1t also has been
dispelled. The highest and best standard
recognized by the leading commercial ma
lions of the world has been maintained,
and it has been done without any resort to
loans.

ELECTION ASSURED.
Leftist Senators Nominated M. Loubet
Unanimously.

Paris, February 17.-At meeting of the
leftist senator's today M. Loubet, the pres
ident of the senate and former premier,
was unanimously nominated for the presi-
dency Of France in succession to the late
President Faure. The senators consider
M. Loubet's election assured.
The chamber of deputies met at O'Clock
this afternoon The hall was crowded. M.
Deschanel, who presided, read Premier
Dupuy's letter announcing the death of
President Faure, and pronounced an eulogy
of the deceased chief magistrate He also
asked all Frenchmen to unite around the
coffin.
M Deschanel then read a letter from the
president of the senate, NJ. Loubet, an
nouncing that the national assembly would
meet al Versailles tomorrow. 1t was then
moved that the house adjourn as a token of
mourning. This was agreed to and the
deputies dispersed.
NJ Dupuy declines to enter the political
contest against M Loubet
In view of the apparently united support
of the senate and M. Meline's withdra wal
in his favor, it was generally thought this
afternoon that NJ. Loupets election is all
most assured.
NJ. Emile Loubet, who is about 81 years
old, was born in the Department of the
Drome, and began his political career in
1876. In 1872 he formed a ministry became
minister of the interior, but was over
thrown on account of the Panama revela-
lions. He was reelected president of the
senate on January 2, last.
