sort of lovliness that all agree upon is the
beauty of health. No matter what her
features, no sickly woman can be attrac-
tive. Sallow skin, sunken cheeks, pi1nply
face, hollow eyes, lifeless hps-these are
repellant. And they can nearly always
be traced to the one womanly
weakness or disease. Almost all the ills
of womankind are cured if YOU put the
feminine organism into healthy vigorous
condition. All sickness of women seems
to involve these delicate organs and so no
matter what the symptoms may be it is
best to look there for the real trouble
All such disorders are completely and
permanently cured by DR. Pierces Fa-
vorite Prescription. 1t is designed for
just this one thing and is the only prep
aration of the sort produced by regu-
larly graduated physician - skilled
specialist in the diseases of women.
Angeles, Cal, writes: I had been afflicted with
my eyes for over year with such dreadful
itching and Inflammation that I could not use
them for ANYTHING. PHYSICIANS had piVeu me
many different remedies which were like using
SO much water; they measured my eyes for
glasses; the glasses did not benefit me in the
least. MY mother desired me to write to Dr.
r v Pierce, at Buffalo N v and explain the
condition of my eyes did so and after follow
Favorite Prescription and eight of the Golden
Medical Discovery can say my trouble is en-
tirelv removed. Ny health was never so good
as it is now

All Democrats but five.
All these men, with the exception of
against the treaty, voted in the senate on
Monday in collision with the enemies of
their country engaged in battling with
American soldiers and sailors at Manila
Agunaldo and his forces were noble in
they fred from the front;
these senatorial traitors fired from the
rear.
Every one of these twenty nine names
will be kissing and byword among
Americans from this time forth. The
blood shed at Manila is on their hands.
They belong in the infamous category in
which American memory holds Benedict
Arnold.

Inc naval ~ inch gun again took up a
position north OF the camp this afternoon,
While the Howitzer battery was posted
southeast on the left OF the Boers Both
opened a hot fire with I.yddlte shells and
shrapnel, TO which the Beers sharply re-
piled with dozen guns, thus unmasking
tneir position, which was the object OF the
British maneuver. After an hours firing
the Boer guns were silenced. The How
itzers searched the trenches and then
threw shell after smell upon the hills, the
explosion Of the Lyddlte causing the
whole ground over an extensive area TO
rise in the air in dense. brown clouds. A
Boer long gun was dismantled.
II now appears that the Beers intend
that the next fight is 10 take place at

10 unmask their position there as the re-
plies TO the BOer artillery were all from

SBR00KE CUTS TEACHERS SALARIES.
CubaBs Are Wondering If Iiiiteracy vii,
Decrease Indcr such a Policy.

Havana, Dec. 1.-THE teachers of Ha-
vana have presented a petition 10 Gen.
Brooke. in the course of which they say:
1T is frequently asserted by Americans
that 50 per cent. OF the Cubans cannot
read, and that for this reason they are
not fit 20 govern themselves. IL is there
fore very important TO educate the Gu
bans; but with the salaries quoted in the
recent order IL Is impossible for the teach
ers 10 live. They see with much morti-
fication that salaries in other branches OF
the public service are being raised, while
the salaries to teachers are being low
cred
They ask that the salaries OF teachers
In Havana be fixed at sl25 a month, and
that in the other principal towns Of the
island the compensation be fixed at 500 a
month.
There are not eight teachers who
know English. In no country in the
world Is a public school teacher required
to teach other than his or her own Ian
guage- II English Is to b taught IN Cuba,
the petitioners request that specia! teach
ers be provided and that all teachers be
Cubans OF Cuban citizens. except. II neces-
sary, those who are 10 teach English"
Alexis f.. Frye. superintendent OF Cuban
schools, maintains that the Cuban each
ers, on the average, receive higher ray
than public school teachers In any other
country IN the world, considering the fact
that they are paid throughout the entire
twelve months.

R0PER'S ALLURING SCHEME.
He Had Dnpes in Every state, Including
Churches and LAWYERS

New York, Dec. 11.-Osmer W. Roper.
of Newark, n. j., was arrested to-day by
United States Marshal Garside, Post-oftice
Inspector w. B. Snow, and several depu-
ties, and committed to jail in default OF
s, 200 bonds.
The charge is based upon an allegation
that he was using the mails for sWinding
purposes. The authorities claim that his
scheme was far and away better than
Miller's Franklin Syndicate, in that he
took In plenty of money and seldom or
never paid any out except for running ex-
penses. They have fifty complaints
drawn up against him, and say fifty more
are filed and that they can get thousands
of them if need be. The swindle, as they
say it was, has been in operation for
three years. Roper's business requires a
large force of clerks. stenographers, and
typeWriters, and he did an enormous mail
business.
1t is claimed that Roper is the Realty
Corporation Company of New Jersey. the
Realty Loan and Trust Fund Company,
the Realty Loan and Title Company, and
the Four Per Cent Mortgage Company.
The authorities say the companies existed
cnly on paper. although regularly incor-
pOrlted, and that in each Roper was the
only person concerned.
Inspector Snow says that Roper's vic
tins are in every State in the nation and
embrace all classes. He says that even
churches and lawyers have been taken in
by Roper.

CARTER INDICTMENTS.
Greene. Connolly, and the Gaynors Are
Charged with Making False Claims.

Savannah, Ga, Dec lin the United
States District Court to-day an indict-
ment was made public againGt b. ID.
Greene, John T. Gaynor, William t. Gay
nor. Edward II. Gaynor. Michael A. Con-
molly. ard Oberlin NJ. Carter, for conspir-
acy 10 defraud the government In connec-
ton with the improvements of Savannah
River and hsrbor and Cumberland Sound
The charge is that there were violations of
sections $40 and 5iSS Of the Revised Sat
utes II is claimed that they conspired
against the government and secured 5I5,-
1880 1t is said that B. d. Greene, John
r. GaynOr, and Capt. Carter will be pro-
ceeded against under both of these sec
;ions. but it is probable only one section
will apply to the others indicted. Ex-Capt.
Carter is now in military prison under
sentence OF five years servitude.
To make the charges against the others
complete. it was necessary 10 lndict him
with them. The fact that he mas been
tried by a military court, II is claimed.
does not entitle him 10 plea of former
isopa rdy in a civil court.
