The British admiralty has received
a dispatch from Capt. Stuart, the
senior British naval officer In Samoan
waters, giving the news of the death
of Lieut.. Freeman, of the British
cruiser Tauranga, in IAN engagement
with the rebels"
Beyond this no further details have
been received. A
German Ambassador Hears of IL.
The German ambassador here. Count
Won Hatzenfeldt-W ildenburg, first re-
ceived the news from press repre-
sentative. He quickly recognized its
Importance, and asked permission to
make copy of the dispatch. He said:
This news is indeed grave. and it is
unfortunate. too, at this moment. that
anything should occur to endanger
the negotiations for the settlement
that we were glad to feel would soon
have arrived. OF course 1 can not
discuss the particulars given in the
dispatch, but the occurrence Is GER
tainly very unfortunate"
Fall Mall Gazette Discusses 1t.
The Pail Mall Gazette says: 1.-The
locality of the engagement, or rath-
err, ambush, is stated to have been a
German plantation, and there is the
unpleasant suggestion of treachery
upon the part of German subject.
The incident, apart from the loss of
life, is deeply deplorable. The stu
alton was already full of anxiety to
the governments at home, while on the
spot racial feeling runs high. Though
1t will be kept well under control, the
cabinets of London, Washington and
Berlin could well have been spared
this latest development. We may be
assured that order will be maintained
ashore by the united efforts of the
English and American commanders.

THE couNTRY's BUSINESS.


/ New York, Oct. 81 -Bradstreet's to-
day says: More nearly, perhaps, than
ever before does the volume of general
trade and industry tax existing trans

From nearly all parts of the country.

notable exceptions prices continue

body Of staple articles manifest all
their old tirmness. Some weakness in
wheat prices is directly traceable to
higher freight rates because of the
partial closing of the door to relief
from growing domestic stocks. Touch
ing the wheat situation, however, it
may be said that while present Stats
ticsof stocks of domestic and European

the national president, Mrs. Lillian M.

This Is not alone the closing year Of the CEN
fury but of our quarter century's existence as
society. Doubtless the.e are at the present
time more total abstaners in our country, ac
cording to the population, than there has ever
been in any other period Of our history, The
greatest gain, however, has been made during
the last quarter OF century.
Since the first convention great advance has
been made In the cause OF purity total absti-
nence and prohibition. Better laws bearing up
on questions Of the purity and sanctity OF the
home have been enacted, among them laws
raising the age Of protection for girls until its
average is now II instead of 10 and in some
states as high as Is years.
The consumption Of alcoholic drinks is grow
Ing less year aftery year. There is only about one
half as much consumed per capita in the United
States as there was quarter of century ago.
This marks Us as the most temperate OF all ma
tons For some years as the use OF distilled
liquors decreased there was an increase in the
use of malt liquors, but during the last four
years there has been steady decrease of the
latter, which certainly is most encouraging when
we consider the large influx of foreigners with
their beer-drinking propensties.
We cannot be too thankful for the great in
fluence exerted by those standing at the head
of some OF the great industries in requiring to-
tai abstinence Of their employees In reply to

An Invitation
To Women

All the world knows of the wonder
full cures which have been made by
Lydia L. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, yet some women do not realize
that all that is claimed for it is abso-
lutely true.
II all suffering women could be made
to believe that Mrs Pinkham can do
all she says she can, their suffering
would be at an end, for they would
at once profit by her advice and be
cured.
There is no more puzzling thing than
that women will suffer great pain
month after month when every woman
knows OF some woman whom Mrs.
Pinkham has helped, as the letters
from grateful women are constantly
being published at their own request,
The same arrangements which make
painful or irregular periods with
dull backaches and headaches, and
dragging-down sensations, presently
develop into those serious inhamma-
tions of the feminine organs which
completely wreck health
Mrs. Pinkham invites women to
write freely and confdentially to her
about their health and get the benefit
of her great experience with the suf-
terings of women No living person
can advise you so well. No remedy in
the world has the magnificent record
of Lydia Il. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound for absolute cures of female
ills. Mrs. Pinkham's address is Lynn,
