A Letter to Mrs. Pinkham Brought
Health to MRS. Archambo.


dear Mrs. PINKHAM-For two
years I felt tired and so weak and dizzy
that some days I could hardly go
around the house. Backache and head
ache all the time and my food would
not digest and had such pains in the
womb and troubled with leucorrhea
and kidneys were affected.
AFTER birth of each child I grew
weaker, and hearing SO much of the
good you had done, wrote to you and
have taken six bottles of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, one
box of Lozenges, one box of Liver Pills,
one package OF Sanative Wash, and to-
day am feeling as well as 1 ever did.
When I get up in the morning I feel as
fresh as did when a girl and eat and
sleep well and do all of my work. If
ever I feel weak again shall know
where to get my strength. I know
yourmedicine cured me. "-MRs. SALIVA
ARCHAMBo, CHARLEMoNT, MASS.

Ie1ed; for years she worked side by

Cberokee spirit Dance.

Hanson, 1. T., Aug. 26.-The spirit
dance of the ful1-blood Cherokees
closed here this morning. The dance
was ordered by medicine men to de-
termine whether the Great Spirit would
advise the moving of the tribe to Mex
leo. The dance was conducted by
Creek Beaver, who is 80 years old. His
daughters led the dance, wearing rat
ties of turtle shells. At the close of
the dance the medicine men decided
the Great Spirit was unfavorable to
the move to Mexico.

Russian Craft.

London, Aug. 28.-Upon authority
of undoubted reliability, a reporter of
the Associated press has ascertained
that into the Alaska dispute has crept
the craftiress of Russian diplomacy.
Russia, it can be stated, will do every
thing, with every possible energy, to
prevent the practical cohesion of the
two great English-speaking nations.
In all her embassies instructions have
been received to thwart the Anglo
American understanding

A Negro Regiment May Be Formed.

Washington, Aug. 26.-It is not i'm
probable that the president will call
for one regiment of colored volunteers
to be selected from all sections of the
country. If such a decision is reached
the officers above the grade of second
lieutenant will certainly be white.
With only one regiment of colored men
called for, high standard could be
maintained and, no doubt, an excellent
regiment in every respect could be OBJ
tanned

THE WORLD AT LARGE.
Summary of the Daily News.
WASHINGTON NOTES.

MAJ. GEN. NELSON A. MILES, COM
manding general of the army, is going
70 the Philippines. He will start the
latter part of October. He will not
take command of the forces in the field,
nor will he supersede Gen. Otis. He
will, however, act in the capacity of
general of the army and will have SUI
pervision over field operations
ACCORDING to advices received at the
war department, the experiment of en-
listing natives of the West Indies into
the American army has proved quite
successful in the case of the Porto
Rican battalion of United States vol
unteers, which body completed its or
ganization a few weeks ago.
POSTMASTER CRUM, of Peck, Fla,
was severely whipped by whitecappers
because he appointed a negro as his
assistant. Crum forwarded his resig-
nation to Washington and the office
will be discontinued.
THE state department was informed
through diplomatic channel that Gen.
Otis has applied the Chinese exclusion
laws to the Philippines. The informa-
ton was surprise to the authorities
at Washington, both state and military.
SECRETARY GAGE, of the United States
treasury department, may issue more
bonds to pay the expenses for the
1argely-increased army.
In the case of Capt. Carter, charged
with Incorporating United States
government funds while in charge of
the work of improving the harbor of
Savannah, Ga, Attorney General
Griggs says he is waiting on Wayne
McVeagh, Carter's counsel, to return
from Europe before making any report
to President Mckinley.
REPORTS from the governor generals
of the American colonies and their sub
ordinates in command of departments
are expected to reach the war depart
ment by September 1. It is an in
teresting fact that the United States
is now maintaining no less than six
military governments. Cuba, Porto
Rico, the Philippines, Havana, Alaska
and Guam are all under the control of
the military.
SECRETARY GAGE says he will issue
no bonds to provide money to maintain
the army. He expects congress to au-
thorize funds to make up the deficiency.
THE state department does not APP
prehend that any international COM
plications will arise out of Gen. Otis
course in excluding Chinese from the
Philippines, as it is only a temporary
military eXpedient.
THE establishment of blockade of
the ports of the Philippine islands and
especially those of Luzon, is a subjec
which is receiving attention at the war
department. Secretary Root says that
he believes in taking advantage of ev-
erything necessary to make campaign
successful and that war cannot be made
without causing distress.
THE war department has contracted
for a powerful movable searchlight,
which will be Immediately sent to Ma
Mia. The searchlight will be mounted
on intrenchments and used at night to
light the surrounding country. The
use of the light will, army officers say,
prevent any surprise.
SECRETARY Roof will give Porto
Rican affairs his close attention for
the next month or two so as to have a
comprehensive scheme for the presi-
dent to submit to congress.

Modern Fable.

"A general who was conducting war in a
distant island wrote to the agricultural de-
partment of his government to ship him a
ton of acorns. When asked what he in
tended to do with them he replied:
There is no shade in our trenches, and
the troops suffer from heat. A growth of
large oaks will add much to the comfort
of the men in the firing line
He would have said more but his atten-
ton was arrested by burst of song from
a neighboring jungle
And he walked sadly away.-San Fran
