ter, and the result was mutually satisfac-
tory TO all concerned. The new rules win
be formulated at once, and will be given
to the .umbermen on Sept. l. They cover
great deal of ground and have a num-
Der of ramitications. one of the most inn
portant is hat lumbermen are to be al

l lost my appetite and began to lose
flesh; my blood was impoverished and
had to leave our store.
The doctors gave me a little tonic.
but steadily grew worse and consulted
another doctor. He helped me in some
ways, but my headaches continued. and
l began to have night sweats and nv
rest was SO disturbed that would have
hysteria and would cry and worry over
business matters and my poor health.
Finally, husband took me South. but
with no benefit. This was year ago ;
no one can ever know what a winter of
misery l spent. Would bloat after
eating and was troubled with palpita-
ton of heart and whites. Having read
by happy chance of your medicine, l
bought it and wrote for your advice.
and before having finished the first
bottle of Lydia f. PinlIham's Vegetable
Compound, the Mysteries nearly stopped
and l slept soundly.

KEEPS OUT NEGRO CHILDREN.
The New York supreme Court Docs
Not Admit Them.


New York. Aug. 22.-That colored pu-
pills may be excluded from schools where
white children attend In this state was
established to-day by a decision rendered
by Justice Smith Of the Supreme Court,
in the case of a wealthy colored woman
named Cisco, who has been attempting for
several months to compel the board OF ed
ucation of greensboro to admit her chill
dren to a school at Jamaica. She admit
ted that Jamaica had school exclusively
for colored children. but maintained that
she had a right TO send her son to any
school in the borough she chose
The case was stubbornly con-
tested. and her application for
writ Of mandamus was denied. Justice
Smith rendered an exhaustive opinion,
saying in part;
THE Court of Appeals decided that I'M
der the provisions of the common school
act of 1864, authorizing the establishment
of separate schools for the education of
the colored race, the authorities have
power, when in their opinion the inter-
ests OF education will be promoted there
by, to establish schools for the exclusive
use of colored children, and, when such
are established and provided with equal
facilities, to exclude colorod children from
schools provided for white children.
There is no claim that the statute was
ever repeated. The claim that the statute
was repealed bY implication cannot be Sc
riously entertained The due and orderly
administration of law requires that the
relief demanded be denied ungranted by
the legislature or until the Court OF APP
peals revises or reversos It's former adjudi-
cation. -
