 Mrs. Evelyn Wood, SIS Fulton Street, Peoria, Ill.,, writes
 "I wish to say to my suffer- ing sisters that if they want to be free from those dreadful diseases with which women are so apt to be afflicted, take Mrs. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I suffered for four years. My troubles were 1eucorrhea and irregular menstruation. The menses appeared too often, and lasted too long. Ibecame very poor, looked badly, had no appetite. I felt as though death would be a relief. My friends ad- vised me to take more out of-door exercise, but hardly realized that l was too weak to go out. 1 resolved to try Mrs. Pinkham's medicines, and after taking several bot ties of Compound, also used the Liver Pills and Sanative Wash, I can truly say am enjoying a new life. Menses have become regular, and last the proper length of time. feel better than 1 have for ten years. I praise your medicine to all my friends. If any one would like to write to me in regard to your Vege- table Compound. and what l. has done for me, I will gladly answer their letter"

PINK LIVINGSTON
 AGAIN IN CUSTODY
Was Serving Sentence for Mur-
 dering His Brother.
WHO WAS DESPERATE MAN
He Had Killed Three Men and His Sis ter-"Pink" Only Had Three More Days to Serve When He
 Escaped.

Pink Livingston a convict from this county, who escaped from the penitentiary about ten days ago and was arrested yes terday in Bessemer and will be taken back to Wetumpka
 Livingston is boy about 19 years of age and was sentenced to one year and one day for Killing his brother, which was done under extenuating circumstances.
 The tragedy occurred at Blue Creek, small mining town on the Birmingham Mineral railroad on the morning of Decem- Der 20, 1897, and was, in a measure, the re- suit of Christmas frolic. Livingston, with two brothers, worked in the mines at that place and lived in a small house with their mother.
 Murdered His sister
 John Livingston, the oldest brother had recently been pardoned from the peniten- tiary where he was serving life sentence for the murder of his sister at Warrior which it is claimed was provoked by her conduct with a man.
 A Christmas jug served to liven the spir- it's of the brothers, who were enjoying the holiday at home and quarrel ensued. Pink. the youngest of the three, left the house and going to the home of neigh bor picked mp a doube-barreled shotgun and returned home. Walking up to the window he deliberately broke one of the panes of glass with the muzzle of the gun and showing 1t through the opening fired one shot at his brother which took effect in the left breast, producing instant death.
 The boy was arrested after desperate effort by Deputy Sheriff J. R. Carroll, and was Drought to this city and locked up. He stated that his brother was of quarrel some disposition and had threatened to kill him before night.
 He was indicted by the grand jury and was allowed to plead guilty to the charge of manslaughter in the second degree.
 Had Only Three Days
 By good conduct his sentence would have expired three days after he made his es- cape but there are charges against him in Blount county on which he would have been held and which caused his flight.
 John Livingston, whom he killed, was desperate man and is said to have willed three men besides taking the life of his sister. 4

and so forth. Sir G. w. Dasent says
that the Norwegians, in reference TO
marriage as to other matters, put their
best foot foremost and try to make
the most of things generally. A lad
went out to WOO wife. Among other
places he came to a farm house, where
the people were very poor, but they
wanted to make him think that they
were well-to-do. Now, the father had
got a new arm to his coat. Pray,
take a seat, he said to the wooer,
but there's shocking dust in the
house." So he went about wiping al
the benches and tables with his new
coat sleeve. but he kept the other be-
hind his back. The wife had one shoe
much the better than the other and
she went stamping and sliding with it
up against the stools and chairs, say
ing: How untidy it is here; every
thing is out of its place." Then they
called out to their daughter to come
and put things to rights, but she had
got a new cap so she put her head in
at the door and kept nodding and nod
ding, first to this side and then to that.
well, for my part, She said, Il can't
be everywhere at once In this way
the wooer was led to believe that he
had come to well-to-do household.
Many superstitions prevail in sweden
with regard to marriage. 1t is said
that if a girl be fond of cats she will
not be an old maid. as we would say,
but have a bright day for her wedding.
The Swedish bride sometimes wears
coronet of myrtle, or. when that is not
procurabe of colored paper. Here, as
in Norway and other countries OF
Northern Europe, there rs 100 nucn
eating and far too much drinking at
weddings. In Sweden the repasts on
these occasions continue for hours.
When asked to take your place at the
table it is considered polite to make
as stout resistance as possible. Dur
ing the repast collection is made for
the bride and sometimes also for tins
moor of the parish. In Siberia there Is
a good custom that bride on coming
to her husbands house has to give a
dinner prepared with her own hanos
as a test of the education she has re-
ceived If she succeeds in gratifying
her guests IT is taken as proof not
only of the young woman's own excel
lence but also as a recommendation or
her whole family, by whom she was in
structed so usefully.

Lynchine Does Not Lessen Crime.

From the Newberne, N. C. Journal.
The murder of Weeks in Carteret
county and the death of the negro i'm
plicated in his murder at the hands of
a mob brings the matter of lynching
Gloss to the homes of every community
in Eastern Carolina.
The fact is well shown that lynch
ings have not lessened crime, and the
only progress made since lynchings
have become more frequent is on the
side of lynching. for offenders against
life are not now being lynched for com
hitting the one heinous and nameless
crime, but for murder as well.
And who can tell where the limit is?
If the people take the law into their
own hands, and first kill offenders for
the nameless crime, then for murder
shall the stop be made for arson and
vicious bodily assaults against men?
The danger lies in the total disregard
for law and order, which every lynch
ing party has, and each lynching only
tends to the further disorganization
and decentralization of the community
and people where it is committed.
The correction and suppression of
crime cannot come through lynching,
for history of the last few months
shows the contrary.

WOMAN BUTLER LATEST FAD.
Arrogant Man Servant Being Rapidly

From the Chicago Chronicle
The woman butler bids fair to remove
the man butler from his proud position
of lordly eminence. A year ago a num-
Der of titled English housekeepers took
wrathy counsel together with regard to
the best measure for preventing the
evil ways OF the typical man servant
The result was that an impressive
number of wealthy ladies declared that
they would employ male buffers. etc,
no longer, but substitute liveried wo-
men in their places. The idea was at
first cheerfully laughed at, but these
sorely tried housekeepers had their
way, consulted a capable Regent street
tailor and the result is a goodly show
ing of liveried women in many smart
homes.
Very recently an enterprising En-
glish housemaid, hearing of the discon-
tent and despair that has seized on the
American housekeeper with regard to
her masculine employees, packed trunk
of nice liveries, imported herself and
sought place in New York mansion.

suading the head of a fine house to give

Grander Than niagara.

A correspondent, writing in the Lon
don Spectator. says the Gersoppa falls,
on the Sharavatti river. in South Kama
ra, India, are larger and more magnid-
cent than niagara. He says: THE river
is $50 yards wide. The clear fall is $50
feet. The Gersoppa falls in the rainy
season are incomparably finer than Mag
ara in every respect. The roar Of the
falling waters is simply terrific. The
whole earth shakes, and the thunder is
80 great that it completely browns the
human voice. When l visited Niagara
and told my American friends about Ger
soppa. they replied with polite increduli-
ty. We never heard of Gersoppa.' re-
piled: Make your mind easy. The peo-
pie at Gersoppa have never heard of Nj

business 10 done for them at loss,
and therefore in part at public expense.
The secret Of the whole matter IL that
the transportation OF small quantities,
and especially OF Irregular quantities.,
costs many times as much ton mile
as the transportation OF great guam
tity constantly and regularly. A con-
Germ which can give a railway business
enough to crowd one full train every
day over the entire line Of the road
ought to get lower rates, purely as a
matter Of business, than can be given
to smaller and more irregular traffic.
All the laws that can be enacted will
never wholly prevent railway compa-
MES from doing wholesale at lower
rates than retail business, and regular
at lower rates than Irregular traffic,
nor is there any morality or sense in
laws which seek to deprive the roads of
such intelligent use of their property.
But these are trifies compared with
the admirable and instructive treat
ment OF the prevailing disposition to
manufacture monopolies with the im-
agination, and then to take 1t for
granted that they are doing great
harm. In every such case 1t is the part
of the upright and candid man to ask
whether any monopoly of prices, of ma
sterials, or of production actually ex-
lists; whether there is anything to pre-
vent fresh competitors entering the
field, very often, as we see daily, with
new inventions and methods yet un-
tried. If there is partial monopoly or
control Of markets 1t is still not the
right of anybody to declare, as Mr..
Bryan does, that every such control
must be harmful and ought to be as
sailed, even IL 1t is serving the public
more cheaply than 1t has ever been
served before
