Nowadays when women are trying to do
everything is it not strange that many
things are not over. done. 1t is not strange
that there are kinds of physical and mental
disturbances. If the woman who is doc
tor, or lawyer, or journalist, or in bust
ness would not try to be a society woman
too it might be different but the woman
who knows when she has done days work
has yet to be born. Usually a woman s
way is to keep doing until she drops.
Working in this way has manifold evils.
The most common trouble resulting from
over.exertion, either mentally or physi.
cally, is constipation of the bowels, with
all its attendant horrors.
DIR. Pieice's Pleasant Pellets are the
ost effectual remedy in the market.
They work upon the system easily, natu-
rally. There is not unpleasant nausea
after taking them. No griping-no pain
no discomfort. They are composed of
mat erials that go through the system grad
ually, collecting all impurities and, like
the good little servants that they are, dig
posing of them effectually.

PUBLIC SCHOOL FUNDS.
No Money in state Treasury 1or ray
ment of Special Appropriation Ior
Public schools.
(Special to the Messenger.)

Raleigh, n. c., November 1l-Ihe
superintendent of public instruction
asked the state treasurer whether the
s1OO, 900 appropriated to public schools
by the legislature this year would be
paid. The treasurer replies that ne
regrets to say the prospect is not good
for early payment; that disbursements
during the eleven months of the fiscal
year up to October 31st, were S6I,|2o
more than the receipts, and that unless
the receipts are much greater and dis
bursements much smaller he does not
think the condition of the treasury Will
be such as to admit of the payment OF
the s1OO, 900 before the end of next year
The auditor was when asked If the
state would meet it's appropriations
and replied that, with proper care as to
collections ne felt sure all could be
made There is a net balance in the
treasury, according to the last state
ment, of $4,000.

THE STORM IN JAMAICA.
Fruit PIantations Swept-The Destruc.
tion Immense.

Kingston, ia, November lines
sengers from the storm devastated
districts report that Wednesdays hur-
ricane was the most severe experienced
in Jamaica for many years. 1t struck
the east end at o'clock and ragged for
four hours along the northern slopes
through the parishes of ST. Thomas,
st. Mary and Portland, westward to
Morant bay, on the south, and Lucea,
the north coast, destroying all cultl-
walton and most of the properties in its
course, including 100000 of the United
Fruit Company's banana trees, conser-
vatively estimated.
Port Antonio itself experienced Sc
rious damage to property, including
the fruit company's wharf and prem
ises, but the main force of the cyclone
apparently struck Morant bay to
Priestman's river, which district is
still totally cut off.
The town of Morant Bay is shattered
and fears are entertained that the fruit
company's business will be seriously
crippled for the immediate future as
the ST. Catherine plantations are the
only part of their property which have
not suffered, while most of the indepen-
dent fruit civilizations are within the
area of destruction.
Estimates agree that the island S
fruit trade will require one year to re-
cover. No accounts of fatalities have
yet been received.

Fort Valley, Ga, November Ii
Marshal Troutman, of this city, and
Mr. Albert Seifert, his deputy, We're
wounded in fight with Jeff Jones, u
negro, charged with murder, whom
they were trying to capture today
Mr. Troutman discovered the negro S
whereabouts and with Mr. Soifert,
started out to capture him. They
called on Jones to surrender and he
answered with a volley from a double
barreled shot gun. Both men were hit,
but they opened fire on the feelns
negro After a chase of about two
miles the negro was captured and plac-
ed in Jail here. To the fact that the
shot gun was loaded with fine shot the
officers probably owe their lives. Mar
Shal Troutman was hit in the side with
a full charge and Mr.. Seiferts arm and
neck are peppered. lit is thought both
will recover.
Jones was wounded twice with a pis-

Princeton II, Carlisle 0.

New York, November 1.-THE Prince
ton foot ball team took the Carlisle In
dams into camp on Manhattan field
this afternoon, but had a difficult time
doing it. Princeton scored two touch
downs, one in each half, and the goals
were successfully kicked, making the
total at the finish II to in favor Of
the Tigers. The result while not un-
looked for, was a crusher just the
same for the red men. Their victory
over Pennsylvania and their double
score against Harvard warranted a
better showing from the Indians, but
although beaten, they put up such a
formidable game that they proved
themselves worthy of the respect
which is paid them in the foot ball
world. In the first half of the game
several men on both sides were hurt,
but none faltered. In the second half
many changes were forced. Player af-
ter player was knocked out in short or
der, and the enforced retirement of
Pierce weakened the Carlisle side more
than a little.

Philadelphia, Pa. November lin
the fiercest game played on Franklin
field this year the University OF Penn
sylvania foot ball team this afternoon
defeated the University of Michigan
eleven by the close score OF IL to 10.
The game was a royal battle from
brilliant and poor playing by both
brilliant and poor playing by poor
teams. Pennsylvania earned her vic
tory because she had to play harder
for her two toushdowns than Michigan
The Michigan team made most of its
gain on runs around Pennsylvania s
left end, which was lamentably weak
while Pennsylvania had to gain her
ground by fierce plunging through the
line.

halves. Columbia defeated West Point
by a score of 16 to 0. on the parade
ground today. West Point played a
good game. but was unable to prevent
Weeks, Morley and Larendon from
forcing her line and circling her ends
for telling gains. Weeks especially by
his squirming, wriggling. lodging tao
tics excited the wonder of the specta-
tors and the discontinue of the ca
dets. A light, steady rain prevailed
which made the ball hard to hold and
fumbling was a marked feature of the
game.

several good end runs. The Cornell
