LETTER TO MRS. PINKHAM NO. 64,yS71
"DEAR FRIEND-Two years ago had
child-bed fever and womb trouble in
its worse form. For eight months after
birth of babe / was not able to sit up.
Doctors treated me, but with no help.
l had bearing-down pains, burning in
stomach, kidney and bladder trouble
and my back was so stiff and sore, the
right ovary was badly affected and
everything ate distressed me, and
there was a bad discharge.
l was confined to my bed when I
wrote to you for advice and followed
your directions faithfully, taking
Lydia d. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, Liver Pills and using the Wash,
and am now able to do the most of my
Homework. / believe / should have
died if it had not been for your Com
pound. hope this letter may be the
result of benefitting some other suffer-

pound to every one."-MRs. MARY

Many of these sick women whose
letters we print were utterly dis
couraged and life was burden to
them when they wrote to Lynn, Mass,
to Mrs Pinkham, and without charge
of any kind received advice that made
them strong, useful women again.

Diversity of Opinion.

New York. Aug. 2S.--A dispatch to
the Times from Rennes says: The most
remarkable thing to-day is the diver
sity of opinion in the French newspa-
pers in regard to the Freystmeter Mer-
cier incident. Both sides omit an inn
portant fact, the nature of conflicting
opinions of their papers show how diff
ficult it is for the French republic to
obtain a true idea of the case. 1t is
reported here that an important cabi-
net meeting was held in Paris this aft
ernoon. The subject discussed was
the incident of yesterday. 1t is i'm
probable, however, that the govern
ment will take any action which would
be likely to precipitate matters. The
statement that five other members OF
the 1894 court martial would be called
to confront General MERCER and Cap
tain Freystmeter, NJ. Demange tells me,
is premature. He says he has no in
tention Of calling them himself.

MADE COSTLY ERRORS.
Helena Lost the Last Game of the Series

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena, Aug. 2s.-Billngs won the third
and last game of the series with Helena
by a score of IL to 8. The Helena club
seems to be all out of sorts. Costly err
rors and i'll luck cost Helena the game
Condor pitched the first inning for Hell
ena and Billings made five runs ST.
Vrain was placed in the box the rest of
the game, but five runs made by the Wis
itors in the first inning seemed to be a
hoodoo for the local nine. McNeely, the
Billings pitcher, was in fine form and
p.,ched great ball.
The Helenas, however. could not appear
to make any hits that had the proper
result There was a large crowd and
plenty of roofing. and there were num-
Der of brilliant plays on both sides.
The feeling ran pretty high on several
occasions, especially when Zearfoss the
Billings catcher after striking out, threw
his bat toward first base as he ran. The
crowd Kissed him roundly and the Incl
dent came near resulting in a mix-up,
Next Saturday. Sunday and Monday Hell

The King Of Squashes.
Vegetable from New York Garden
that Weighed More than Three
Women.

Vegetable from New York Garden
that Weighed More than Three
Women.
There are few things at the National
Export Exposition in Philadelphia that
command so much attention as the beauti-
full, chaste and ornate, the marvellous in
mechanism or handiwork, the picturesque,
grand or artistic. One of these is mem
Der of the humble squash family. The
squash in question is exhibited in the west
end of the South pavilion, and for size 1t
stands alone in the history of esculents of
its class. 1t weighs 345 pounds and is
eight feet six inches in circumference.
Three women visitors were weighed on
the same scale with this squash, the COM
bined weight of the women and squash
being 6S7 pounds, so that the squash is
three pounds heavier than the three
women. Served at any frst-cla hC tel or
restaurant, this squash would meet the re-
qurements of $500 guests.
c. d. Riker of Newburgh, n. Y, was
the grower of the monstrous squash. An
acre of these vegetables of equal proper.
tions would yield him fortune, If he could
realize as handsomely on the entire prod
uct as he did on this unique specimen.
The Exposition management bought the
squash of Mr.. Riker for $780, It's owners
have had it insured for $1,000 against loss

The South African Situation.

The BeI.aguered cities Holding OUT
Little Reliable News OF the FightIng'l
Thousands of British Troops Ar
irving.
The news from the beleagueed cities
Ladysmith, Kimberly and Mafeking-in
South Africa is vague and contradictory,
several days old, and evidently strictly cen
sored. About 1900 troops have reached
South Africa this week, and a large part
of them will land at Durham, where the
British army will be concentrated for the
advance.
Unless the emergency is extreme, it is
not believed that Gen. Butler will make
any movement towards raising the siege of
Ladysmith until full preparation has been
made. Gen. Joubert, the Boer command
err occupies the hills overlooking and COM
manding the Colenso bridge across which
the relief column must needs move. Ev-
cry day lessons the chances of successful
attack by the Beers on any of the invested
cities, and if Gen. Joubert ever contem-
plated an advance to Pietermaritzburg he
must needs see that this is now impossible
unless the British make a stupendous
blunder.
Kimberley is following the tactics of the
other beleaguered cities and keeping the
Beers busy repulsing frequent sorties,
which, while they avail little in the way of
relieving the city, suffice TO keep the Beers
on the alert to guard against surprises. As
rule they have retired at the advance of
the British, evidently hoping to repeat the
success which attended this strategy dur
ing the early days of the investment of
Ladysmith; but they have failed in this.
The most serious danger is from lack of
provisions, and it is understood that the
garrison and the population have been
placed on shortened ratiOns.
small force, composed of Transvaal
and Free State burghers, with three guns, a
supply of dynamite and 600 horses, is re-
ported to have crossed the Orange River
for the invasion of Cape Colony. Aliwai
North is said TO be invested, and detach-
ment of burghers is reported moving in
the direction of Queenstown which the
British occupied on retreating from Storm
berg. Although many of the Dutch in
Cape Colony are in sympathy with theil
brethren of the Transvaal, there does moi
appear to be any danger of an uprising a.
long as British troops are everywhere in
evidence.
As to the fighting that has actually takeI
place during the week, it has accomplished
little, unless the results have been minifieC
by the British censors. Some of it ha
been fierce and hot, but for the most par
only small bodies of troops have been en-
gagged.

Counsel for Admiral Dewey and his Off
GERS and men have asked the court of
claims to find that the amount of bounty
money due them is $3.50, 800. The decis-
ion of the court will establish precedent
which will affect the amount of bounty to
be distributed among the officers and men
of the North Atlantic feet, which destroy
ed the squadron of Admiral Cervera. If
the finding of the court is in accordance
with the request the Admiraps share of the
bounty will be $40, 1914. Attorneys base
their case upon the claim that the defeated
Spanish force was superior to the Ameri-
can squadron. 1t is not contended that
the enemy's fleet was superior, but that,
taking into consideration the guns at Cor
regidor, El Fraile and other forts at the en-
trance of the bay and those at Manila and
Cayite, which fired upon the American
ships continuously, the enemy's force was
superior.

The Plain. Cold Truth.

From the New York World.
Why deceive ourselves? We shall not
fool anybody else
The plain, cold truth is that, taking the
country through, the Democrats were beat

Chicago platform, free silver and Mr.. Bry-

cesses in the two preceding years foreshad-
owed the election of Democratic presi-

carried by Mr.. Bryan in 1896 four have
been recovered and are safely held by the
Republicans.
OF the eight former Democratic states
carried by Mr.. Mckinley only one MARY

and this was done by dropping the Chica-
go platform and nominating sound-money
candidates.
