Tired and broken down women,
whose lives are made miserable through
the blighting influences Of female com
plants, why do you suffer-"
why will you allow yourself TO be-
come blue, discouraged and despond-
ent?"
why will you endure the torture of
backache. headache, bearing down
pains, nervousness and other weak
nesses caused by rheumatism or head
troubles
If you suffer thus. ii is wholly need
less and entirely your own fault
There is help for you and for all
other women who suffer in this way"
LET me read you these words, which
were recently penned by a woman who

who found relief"
Mrs. H. P. G. Carnes, one Of the best
known ladies' in Butler, Pa, says"
For nearly three years I was under
the doctors care, a constant sufferer
from female weaknesses in the most
aggravated form
Medicine did me no good and my
suffering was so great that at times I
felt that death would be relief
AT last our druggist recommended
me TO try a remedy about which I had
heard much. but knew little"
4 took his advice and before I had
finished one bottle, was astonished
at the marvellous change il made in my
health"

and I believe / owe my life and con-
tinued good health wholly to the use
of Warmers Safe Cure"
This is only one case among thou
SANDS in which Warmers Safe Cure has
been the means of curing the distress
ing ailments peculiar to women"
Time and again it has proved to be
unequalled for giving quick and perma-
nent relief
NO woman who wishes to escape

delicacy and weakness with health and
strength, can afford to be without this
grand discovery"

Filipinos Have Not
Had Enough of
Fighting.
ENCOURAGED BY WET SEASON
Signal Service Officer Tilley
Believed to Be
Dead.

Manila, May 2S s p. m.-The approach
Of the wet season finds the insurrec-
ton seemingly taking a new lease of
life. All along the American lines the
rebels are showing more aggressive ac-
tivity, in their guerilla style, than at
any time before since the fall of Malo
los. They keep the United States troops
in the trenches, sleeping in their cloth
ing and constantly on the alert against
dashes upon out outposts, and make
life warm for the American garrisons
in the towns.
The bands of Gen. Luna and Gen.
Mascardo which retreated toward Tar
lie when they feared they would be
caught between Gen. Macarthur and
Gen. Lawton, have returned in force
to their old trenches around San Fer
nandino where there are daily collis-
ions. Opposite our lines on the south,
protecting Manila all the way around
to San Pedro Macati, the Filipinos have
three rows of trenches most of the dis
tance.
Reports from prisoners indicate that
the insurgents construe the peace nego-
tiations to mean that the Americans
have had enough of fighting. The Fill
pinos are also encouraged by the belief
that the Americans are preparing for
an interval of inactivity during the wet
season.
This period is sure to be followed by
much suffering. Thousands of acres
that were under cultivation last year
have not been plowed this season and
the government will probably be
Obliged to feed thousands, just as II
fed the Cubans.
Friendly natives, Amigos, continue to
pour into the American lines by land
and river routes, coming from the ter
ritory of insurrection into the country
where the passage of The two armies
has left no food, and practically throw
ing themselves upon the charity OF
their conquerors. Such able-bodied men
as are not in the Filipino ranks nave
been kept by the nsurgent leaders II
dig trenches, and old men, women and
children form the mass of the refugees.
These are doing some blowing but they
will be confronted with hunger before
they can realize any subsistence from
their crops.

BRODIE OUTDONE.
German Named Kretz
Jumps Brooklyn
Bridge.
SWIMS ASHORE UNINJURED.
Earns Right to Put Initials
B. j. After His
Name.
SWIMS ASHORE UNINJURED.

New York, May 2S-Howard Kretz,
a young man about % years of age
who says he is an art student of the
Academy of Design in this city, made
a startling and successful jump from
Brooklyn bridge just before dusk this
evening, and came out of the water
unin1ured.
Just before o'clock Kretz boarded
trolley car bound for Brooklyn.
When the trolley car reached a point
about 100 yards from the first arch,
near the highest point of the span,
Kretz leaped from it, and like flash,
vaulted over the high railing. He
took no time to steady himself for
perpendicular drop and swung some
distance out from the structure before
he assumed an upright position.
The passengers jumped from the car
and peered through the railing, while
hundreds of persons on the promenade
tried to get a glimpse of the figure.
Kretz' body flashed through the air
almost in a perpendicular streak. He
struck the water feet first, cleaving it
like an arrow. He disappeared for
some seconds and then shot up into
view again, only to disappear for the
second time. The waters had hardly
closed over him when he reappeared
and Immediately struck out strongly
for the New York shore.
One of the deck hands of the freight
steamer Vulcan of the Newark line,
which was coming down East river at
the time, saw Kretz flash through the
air and disappear in the water. The
deck hand gave the alarm and the Vul-
can was headed for the young man
who was by this time swimming. A
line was thrown to Kretz, and he was
hauled aboard the freighter, which i'm
mediately put in for her dock in the
East river, on ths New York side.
When taken on the Vulcan Kretz
placed his hands on his abdomen as
if in pain, but when the boat reached
her dock Kretz sprang from the boat
to the wharf He WAS at once taken
into custody and hurried to the Hud-
son street hospital. Not the slightest
injury was found on his person, but
he was suffering from shock. He was
detained on the charge Of attempting
suicide.
Kretz is about five feet eight inches
tail and weighs about 140 pounds. He
lives in this city. He said that he had
been reading a book on theosophy and
he wanted to demonstrate that a man
by exercising his will power, could do
anything he wished without injury to
himself.

HE DIED IN HIS CELL.
Stephen Mccarthy, a Plumber, Who Was
Arrested on Charge of Theft.


Stephen Mccarthy plumber, aged
IS, who was arrested Friday afternoon
by sergt. Hill and officer March fer
drunkenness and on suspicion of hav-
ing stolen roll of sheet copper which
he had in his possession, died sudden
ly at the Summer street jail yesterday
morning about II o'clock.
Mccarthy worked for William ]. Gro
min of 217 Pleasant street, Boston, and
was sent to Worcester by that firm to
do some copper work on ]. w. Bish-
ops house in New Worcester. After the
work was finished he took what was
left of the copper and was noticed on
inter street Friday by the officers
trying to dispose of it to some second
hand dealers. He was in company with
John Mahan, and both were arrested
and brought before Judge Utley in the
central district court, Saturday morn
ing: and fined $40 each, which they
could not pay.
Mahan and Mccarthy were both com
mitted, and from the time he was ar
rested until he was sent to the Summer
street Jail, Mccarthy protested his in
nocence of having stolen the copper
and appeared to be very much worked
up over the fact that he was accused
of it. A letter was written to his en-
ployer in Boston, asking about the
copper, but the police have not yet re-
eeived an answer. Mccarthy claims he
was told to take it by Mr.. Cronin.
He was apparently in good health
when taken to the Summer street Jsil,
and yesterday morning, when the pris-
oners were released from tkeir calls
to go to breakfast, Mccarthy came out
with them. When he got about half
way down a flight of stairs leading
into the guard room. he sat down.
Warden Washburn asked him what the
trouble was, and Mccarthy replied that
he was not feeling well. He was sent
back to his cell, and after breakfast
Dr. Lemuel F. Woodward was called.
Mccarthy sank rapidly and died about
II o'clock.
The body was taken in charge by
Undertaken James A. Athy and taken
to his warerooms on Green street,
where it was viewed last night by Med
zeal Examiner F. H. Baker. In his
clothes was found a plumbers card is
sued from Midway, Mass Undertah er
Athy notified the police of that town,
and will keep the body at his rooms
until he gets an answer.

FIND A CLEW AT LAST.
Deserted Child in Buffalo
Thought to Resemble
Marion Clark.

Buffalo, May 2S.--One week ago to-
day a man giving the name Of Robert
Hale, residence No. 1920 South Broad
way, st. Louis, Mo, lodged at the
house of Mrs. King, No. 81 Swan street,
this city He had with him two chill
dren, three-year-old boy and cir!
apparently II months old Monday
morning, Hale disappeared, taking
with him the boy but leaving the girl
behind. The deserted infant was
turned over to the Erie county hospl-
tai DR.. McGilday of the hospital staff,
believing that the child resembled
the Clark child abducted In New
York, asked Captain McClusky of New
York for a more complete description
of the missing child, and on receiving
it, found that It compared exactly with
the child in his possession.
The hair and eyes were of the same
color and one or two marks on the body
were identical After this discovery
was made a photograph Of the Clark
child was sent for 1t arrived last Fri
day and DIR. McGilray says that any
one comparing the Hale childs face
with the face in the photograph would
quickly say that the photograph is the
Hale child.
The similarity is so striking that the
New York police authorities were COM
municated with. They replied that
some one who knew the Clark child
would come to Buffalo to see the infant
at the county hospital
superintendent Churchill of the So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children, says that the man Hale ac-
companied by the two children, was in
his office two weeks ago Friday, two
days before the abduction of the Clark
child. He, however, says the coincidence
is so remarkable that further inquiry
is prudent
