An Obliging Postmaster.

1t is thought that the most obliglng
postmaster in the state of Missouri,
lives at Bethel. He recently put a
telephone in his office, and announced
that for the benefit of those out-oi-
town patrons who are connected by
wire and who may desire it, he VIII
open their letters and will read the
contents to them over the phone.

LETTER TO MRS. PIsKHAM NO. 4I,so7l

"DEAR FRIEND-A year ago was a
great sufferer from female weakness.
My head ached all the time and would
get so dizzy and have that all gone
feeling in the stomach and was SO
nervous and restless that l did not
know what to do with myself.
my food did me no good and l had a
bad case of whites. wrote to you and
after taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound as directed, l can
truly say that feel like new woman
and cannot tell you how grateful am
to you.
~ have recommended it to all my
friends and have given it to my
daughter who is now getting along
splendidly. May you live many years
to help our suffering sisters. ."-MRs c.

A Great Head.

An Omaha preacher has hit upon a
scheme that will effectually wipe out
the high hat nuisance in his church
He will make division, putting the
women on one side aud the men on
the other, with the exception that
women who take off their hats may
sit with the men. 1t is a great head
dominic is wearing!

A Bill is pending in the Michigan
legislature to license, at S5 each,
every man who wants to drink
liquor. He must carry his license
with him and present it when the
drink is ordered.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1899-06-01

Over eighty thousand
such letters as this were re-
ceived by Mrs. Pinkham
during 1897. Surely this is
strong proof of her ability
to help suffering women.

In Iceland men and women are in

ROWING AT CORNELL.

PLANS COMPLETED FOR LARGER EQUIPMENT
Ithaca. " Y. Nov. 2O.-The Cornell Athletic As
sociation has just completed plans for large add-
ton 10 the present naval equipment involving an
expenditure OF 5000 a large part Of this sum will
be expended on an addition 10 the boathouse on
the inlet The addition probably will be built on
the north side Of the house. and will give much
larger floor space. Part Of this additional space
will be utilized for shower baths and lockers The
need for this is important owing to the large num-
ber Of freshman candidates who now use the build
ing in addition to the regular varsity candidates.
The bathing facilities in the building are not good,
and new shower baths will fill a long felt want.
The addition will also furnish room for the storage
OF new shells. two Of which will be purchased out
Of this sum appropriated for the navy.
One of these shells will be for the use OF the 90
varsity crew while the other will be for the fresh
man crew The two new shells will in all probabil-
ity be built in the loft Of the boathouse under the
personal supervision Of Mr.. Courtney. as has been
done in the last few years. The work on the addi-
ton TO the boathouse will be done either this fall
early next spring. and will be finished before tho
men 60 on the water again. These proposed addi-
tions 10 the equipment will place Cornelrs navy
a splendid basis which 10 start the work next
wear IL is estimated that these changes and addl-
lions will take nearly all of the 5000 appropriated,
and the rest will be used for incidentals and re-
pairs.

pR1NcETON,S PRACTICE POOR.

Princeton. ~ j., Nov. 2O-Captan Edwards led
his football warriors out on the gridiron to-day ana
began the last weeks practice with hard vigorous
and aggressive work. but both captain and coaches
felt much discouraged at the teams showing. Either
il was an off day for the Tigers, or the prospects
OF the championship are gradually growing smaller
The practice was secret. and was unusually long
a full hour was spent in running through the Sig
nails and then this followed with a lineup
against the scrubs for twenty-five and twenty min
ute halves With great difficulty. after repeated
rushes through the line by McCord Devick was
pushed over for touchdown in the first half this
being the only made. Everything seemed TO
go wrong with the varsity. and 1t could not score
again In the second half the scrubs kept the ball
most of the time in the varsity's territory. Nc
Cord had knee hurt. and Mills was injured on the
head. Both retired from the game. Dana replaced
Mills II. Lathrope and Roper alternated at ends
with Poe and Palmer. Craig was tried at guard
and may displace Mills. he played exceptionally
we'll Wheeler and Maths alternated at fullback
Both punted well McCord did the star playing on
the varsity. Hutchinson back punts in fine
STYLE but fumbed frequently passing $he ball Lit
tie. Young and Morse put up fine \sork on the
scrub Reiter out and through signals,
but did not enter the game. Although not in good
condition, he will probably be in the Yale game
McClave was not tried at half to-day. After the
regular practice Mills practised place kicks. and
