BUILDING TRADES COUNCIL.
Discussion of Proposition to Adopt
Working Card.

President McIvor occupied the chair at
the weekly meeting last evening of the
Building Trades Council and Mr. Milford
Spohn was secretary.
The session was largely devoted to the
consideration of suggestions contained in a
communication from II. W. Stenbiss secre-
tary Of the National Building Trades Coun-
Gil. the most important of which was the
adoption of the use of the Building Trades
Council working card. his card, IL is said,
is issued by the National BUILDING Trades
Council to subordinate councils, and by The
latter is issued to members of allied ocgani-
cations. Under this system no member of
an organization will be permitted t. work
on any building unless all other craftsmen
employed thereon hold the council work ng
card.
1t was asserted that this card has been
adopted by ali The building trades counc!is
which allied with the national BODY
with the exception of those in this city and
Chicago, respectively. The question was
discussed at length, and ii was finally de-
cided to refer the matter To the organiza-
tons composing the local council.

Manila, March H.-Noon.-At o'clock
this morning, hearing the insurgents
bugles sounding, SCOTS battery dropped
three shells into the woods on the left of
the Pasig church. No reply was made,
and at 7:45 the Twenty second regular
infantry advanced until they encoun-
tered number of volleys. This fire was
returned with interest. The line then
wheeled towards Pateros. The troops
followed the roads, while the gunboats
Oeste and Laguna de Bay assisted in sup
pressing the fire on the left flank. Three
rebel canoes were captured on the river
The rebel sharpshooters at Caloocan
continue active, but no casualties are re-
ported.
General Wheaton attacked and cap
tured the city of Pasig, east of Manila
yesterday afternoon. The enemy made
stand for an hour, but at the end Of
that time was forced to retreat The loss
of the insurgents was 80 killed and II
prisoners. OF the United States forces
six were wounded.

DRIVEN INSANE.

Connecticut schooltescher Alleged TO
Have become Victim of Persecution.
New Haven, March 14.-As the out
come of alleged persecution, Of which it
Is stated a we'll known citizen Of Ham
den was the instigator, Miss Maud Hauff
of this city, who has been teaching
district school in Hamden since last
fall, is in a critical condition from an at
tempt at suicide. The persecution 1t Is
said has been going on for the past two
months, and Thursday last she learned
that charges against her character had
been made to the school committee
This so harassed her that Saturday she
became insane, and 1t was necessary to
put guard over her, and she was locked
in her room in Hamden. Sunday night
she eluded her watchers and, clad only
scantily, started for the millpond to
drown herself. After long quest she
was found not far from the pond, lying
unconscious, in a snowbank. She had
stumbled over stone wall in the dark
and the fall had rendered her uncon-
scious. Though in a precarious con-
dition her reason has been restored,
which the doctors in attendance ascribe
to her involuntary snow bath. The
town is considerably worked up over the
affair, and it is probable that action will
be brought against those who are con-
sidered her prosecutors.

No wonder, then, the average woman
has lost the capacity for sound sleep,
good digestion and the freedom from
aches and pains that follow healthy
organic functions.
Many years Of suffering might be
avoided, weary months of lost time put
to good service, and thousands of lives
saved If persons who do not sleep we'll
and those with overworked brains and
nerves would take Paines celery CON-
pound. In the cure of nervous diseases
this remedy has again and again demon
strated its power to combat these
tenacious ailments.
1t is to general poor health that we
are to look for the cause OF headaches,
rheumatism and neuralgia, and to over
come these troubles it is the general
health that must be raised. Sick head
aches that recur so periodically with
most women and are so grievous an
affection should be treated as due to
lowered nervous tone, and thorough
invigoration of the body should be under
taken with Paines celery compound.
The best test OF the wonderful value of
Paine's celery compound is to use it.
Any woman will soon be convinced that
it is the one remedy that can make and
keep her we'll and healthful and strong.

II know of nothing so good as Paines
celery compound" says Miss May Sher-
win, for the past II years principal OF
the largest public school in Bloomington,
ILL.,, "to counterfeit the nervous strain
incident to a constant life in the school
room.
II have myself used Paine's celery COM
pound" she continues, with most salts
factory results. 1t is a splendid nerve
tonic"
The discoverer of Paine's celery COM
pound was himself one Of the greatest
teachers that ever lived.
Edward E. Phelps, M. D., LID, held
famous proiessorship in Dartmouth
college, and was lecturer in other great
universities all the while he was engaged
in that momentous study which led to
the chief accomplishment of the medical
research OF this century-the develop.
ment of Paine's celery compound.
The general complaint now among
intelligent women is that they are hurried
and driven and fretted almost out OIL
their senses by the demands upon their
time and strength.

Chicago March 13.-Judge Gibbons has
declared that the act of the legislature Of
Illinois, passed in 1897, giving veterans
of the Civil war preference over other
candidates in civil service examinations,
is void, because it gives special or
exclusive privilege, and because it is
not consistent with the basic principles
underlying the nature of our institutions.
John Maloney brought suit to review
the act of the civil service board in CIV
ing place to Aaron L. Brown, veteran
Of the Seventy-first New York, whose
examination average was 1S points be-
low that of Maloney. An appeal was
allowed to secure final adjudication
in the supreme court.

Teachers Home in the South for Teachers and
Invalid Children.

Arrangements have recently been per-
fected by prominent ladies and men in
the New England states, for the estab-
lishment OF teachers home and Sanitary
school for invalid teachers and
delicate children, who need to
60 South, especially during the winter
months, on account of their health.
The location selected is at Pinebluff,
North Carolina, winter health resort,
that has been established by northern
capitalists. The location is near South
ern Pines, the famous winter resort that
has attracted so much attention during
the past few years. Pinebluff is a new
point that has been started recently.
Mr.. John Patrick, Chief Industrial Agent
of the great Seaboard Air Line Railroad
system, has been Interested in the move
ment to establish the school, and it is
generally understood, that when he takes
a hand in any enterprise, whether it is
for the benefit of invalds, for charitable
purposes or for financial gain, the enter
prise is success. Mr.. Patrick has been
identified with the development OF the
South for the past twenty years. His
official address is Portsmouth, Va, and
his country home is at Pinebluff, N. c.
Those who would like to learn particu.
lars, can get information by addressing
Mr.. Patrick, and by the way, any per-
son who is thinking of making an invest
ment down South would do well to ask
Mr.. Patrick's opinion before putting out
their money. He is safe business man,
and takes great interest in giving infor-
nation about the South. Mr.. Patrick is
we'll known in the New England states,
and frequently he can be seen at the Sea-
board Air Line Office, 306 Washington
street, Boston, and when there he has q
crowd of friends and inquirers around
him.
In going South, one Of the most pleas
ant trips is via The Merchants and
Miners steamers from Boston.

United States Benefited.

Berlin, March 14.-Robert P. Porter,
who, as special agent of President Nc
Kinley, visited General Gomez and Sc
cured from the Cuban commander-in-
chief an agreement to bring about the
disarmament Of the Cuban army on the
payment of 100000 to the troops, eX-
presses the opinion that the act of the
Cuban military assembly in relieving
Gomez of his command will enable the
authorities at Washington to employ
the general to better advantage in pro-
noting the desires of the United States
and the interests of Cuba.
