cradle woman SICK De-
cause she doesn't know any better. Sick
because she doesn't really know why.
Sick because the organs that make her .
woman are not properly performing their
functions and so are sending nerve mes
sages with aches and pains and distress all
over her quivering body.
Nine-tenths of women's sickness comes
from disorder of these special organs. The
symptoms are various-the cause the same.
Headache, backache, nervousness, wake
fulness, neuralgia and fifty other troubles
of women may nearly always be traced di-
rectly to feminine weakness or disease.
When the most important organism of a
woman's body is disordcred her whole
physical and mental system is upset. The
only way to find comfort is to cure the real
cause of the misery. Local doctors in gen
eral practice are frequently so hurried and
rushed that they treat the symptom and
not the disease. They give woman medi-
cine for headache when the headache is
due to the reflex action of the uterine
nerves. They may give her good medicine
but for the wrong disease. Thousands of
have written to DR. R. " Pierce of Buffalo
N. Y. and now thank him for their re-
newed health and happiness. For over
thirty years DR.. Pierce has been chief con-
sulting physician at the Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute. 1t was over thirty
years ago that he began to use his Favor.
lite Prescription " in his practice
1t is medicine devised to cure one GER
tain kind of diseases-femaIe diseases. It
brings ease and comfort and sleep 1t re-
stores perfect health. 1t fills out cheek
hollows, brightens the eyes, puts vim and
snap juto the whole body 1t is sold by
most dealers in medicine. Don't take any
thing else. Nothing else is "the same -
nothing else is as good" Get what you
ask for. Patronize honest dealers.

gade springs into line. Four hundred and
fifty leaves of bread and seVenty-f1Ve gal
Ions of coffee are doled out. The ratlons
have been increased, and now each appil-
cant is given a loaf and as much coffee as
he can drink.
While it is not a pleasant thing to do in
this freezing weather, one is repaid for the
discomforts of trip to the center of the
big bridge, where a view can be had of the
East river frozen almost solid from shore
to shore. The great ocean steamers limp
into port and are made fast to their docks
looking more ike spectral ships. with their
sides coated in white, and every rope and
spar covered with the same material and
nearly twice its natural size. Through the
band of ice in the North river, constantly
Tightening it's grip, only the most powerful
steam vessels can make their way unaided.
The ferryboat pilots argue that II 1t were
not for the frequent 'rendlnS OF the Ice by
their craft perfect bridges would have been
formed from Jersey to Manhattan, from
Manhattan to Long Island. From up the
sound, from the Hudson, from the Staten
Island shores, the XIII Won kull, the lower
bay, the channels leading to the sea, from
the waters that wash Sandy Hook, come
stories of all types ofSVessels nipped in the
ice pack and held fast 9hs great city IS
truly in winters icy grip, and the end is
not yet.
Tammany's Big Salary List.
Tammanys enormous salary list is said to
be a subject of consideration by Governor
Roosevelt. He is said to be in receipt of
scores of letters daily from protesting tax
payers of New York city, who appeal to him
to Investigate the present unequal systems
of taxation, and express the fear that the
civil list Is to be made larger. Governor
Roosevelt is quoted dec airing that he
fully appreciates the conditions in New
York, and is said to have added that If he
interfered at all 1t would be in an effective
manner and all along the line. A measure
of
office holders in New York city has been
introduced at Albany. 1t provides that IL
per cent of all excise moneys or license
fees received by New York city shall be
paid into pension fund, the benefciaries
to be all office holders in Greater New York
who retire after twenty-five years of serv
ice The pension is to be one-haif of the
amount received by the employee as salary,
but is not to exceed s., 200 a year.
The pool room proprietors of Greater New
York have held a meeting in Manhattan
borough to decide upon course in view of
the report that Governor Roosevelt will
soon issue a pronunciamentoa against pool
rooms which, in some sort, will serve to
reinforce his utterances on Elihu Roots

INQUIRY ON ARMY BEEF
The Court Will Be Unable to Assemble To-
NOR Ow.
Gen. Wade and Gen. Geo. w. Davis
Have Not Yet Arrived in
the City.

The weather indications led to the pre-
the court of inquiry to Investigate Gen.
Miles charges as to the character of the
army meat would not assemble on time.
The Presidents order sets the court for the
18th, which is tomorrow, but the general
the date indicated or as soon thereafter as
possible Gen. Wade, one of the members
of the court, is on his way here from st.
Paul, and no infOrmatio as to his where
abouts was obtainable at the department
today. other than that he was probably
somewhere between Chicago and the At
lantic coast. Col Gillespie is in town, as
is also Col Geo. B. Davis, the recorder of
the court but Gen. Geo. w. Davis, the
third member of the court, who IS on his
way here from Cuba, had not arrived up
to noon.
The court will have it's quarters in the
Lemon building. probably in ons of the
rooms formerly occupied by the war in
sions of the court viii be open or secret is
for that body to determine, but the usual
course for court of inquiry is to work in
executive session. This rule is generally
followed as the work of the court corra-
spends large to that of grand jury.
Gen. Miles and Secretary Alger. both of
whom are particularly interested in the
proceedings of the court, are now in New
York, with the prospect of being there for
some little time before trains can break
through to re-establiSh communication be-
tween the two cities 1t is hardly probable
that leaving other considerations out of
the question the court would proceed to
work with these two officials out OF the
city.
Official judgment in the department
agrees in the prediction that the work of
the court will be long. but how long 1t will
take it to sft the mass of testimony and
documentary evidence to be submitted to it
there is now little chance to say.

CHINESE KEPT OUT,
Bill Extending Anti-COntrect Labor
Laws to Hawaii Reported.

Senator Fairbanks, from the Senate COM
mittee on immigration. yesterday reported
back TO the Senate the bill extending the
anti-contract labor laws of the United
States to Hawaii with amendments making
the bill cover all immigration questions
The amendments specifically include the
Chinese exclusion acts.
The committee says: The committee is of
the opinion that since the Hawaiian Islands
have come within the jurisdiction and au-
thority of the United States our immigration
laws should be so extended as to protect
the citizens and laborers in those islands
from invasion by immigration of undesira-
BILE subjects or citizens of other countries
Under the municipal legislation of the Ha-
wdiian Islands the Importation of contract
laborers Is expressly sanctioned. This class
of immigration forms by far the larger per
cent of the Objectionable elements now be-
ing imported into the islands, and is en-
urely repugnant to the policy of the United
States.
Since the passage of the Joint resolution
of annexation there has been a decided i'm
petus given to the Importation of contract
!aborers into the islands by the sugar plan
tat0n owners. The committee is Informed
that each vessel from Asiatic countries is
increasing the list of contract laborers, and
unless some restrictive measure is adopted
the number must shortly be still further
augmented. The joint resolution annexing
the islands to the United States provided
for the exclusion of Chinese in the foIlowins;
language: There shall be no further immi-
grafton Of Chinese into the Hawaiian ISL
ands except upon such conditions as are
row or may hereafter be allowed ~ the
laws of the United States
This provision the committee regards as
inadequate. inasmuCh as it does not provide
for apDrehendiug and depOrting Chinese
Immigrants should they land In contraven-
ton of the terms of the joint resolution
above mentioned. 1t IS therefore deemed es-
sential that the provisions of the Chinese
exclusion acts, as well as the discriminating
immigration laws of the United States
should be promptly extended for the pro-
lection and welfare of the citizens of Ha-

In that beautiful reproduction of the

18th street. which Is the home of Mrs.
Stuyvesant Fish, there will be given, on
Tuesday evening next, an entertainment
which promises to equal in brilliancy and
novelty the co.ning-out party of Miss Mar
ian Fish at Newport last summer, when
Miss Virginia Fairs donkey Persimmons,
attached to a little cart, brought in the
favors. 1t will be called the Belamy dance
and the participants will be really looking
Backward The dancers will be dressed

reversed-and a mask worn the back of
the head will give the person the appear
ance of facing one way, when, indeed, he
or she is facing in the opposite direction.
At one recent dance the women were
dressed ''backward' and wearing very
pretty masks on tn. back of their heads,
and donned caps or bonnets with lace
crowns, through which they could see.

I'VE are not surprised that the American

McKinley's loyalty to Secretary Alger is
natural and even commendable, but If the
United States is to have able administra-
tors. 1t is absolutely essential that those
az its head shall be above suspicion. If the
faint of politics is once fastened upon the

its future must be considerably dashed"

Coinage Facts Worth Knowing.

The first financial legislation Of Congress
under the Constitution was the act OF
April %. 1892. which fixed the weight
of the gold dollar at q grains and that
OF the silver dollar at 4l6 grains. and
these weights obtained till the act OF
June 18th 1894. reduced the weight of
the gold dollar TO 2j.s grains 600 fine).
leaving the silver dollar unchanged. and
these weights again obtained from that
time till the act Of July 18th. 1887. re-
duced the weight Of the silver dollar to
4l25 grains. leaving the gold dollar IN
changed. The weight OF the gold dollar
has never been changed since that time,
and the weight of the silver dollar
(excludin- the trade-dollar) has never
been changed since that time in weight;
hut the act Of February 18th, 1913 known
as the demonetization acO. discontinued
the coinage Of the silver dollar and au-
thorized the coinage Of the trade-dollar
Of 420 grains Of standard silver.
These conditions prevailed from that
time 10 February 2Sth. 1873. when the
Band-Allison act. restoring the coinage
Of the standard silver dollar Of il2.5 grains
under somewhat different conditions, be-
came the law of the land: so that bar
ring the trade-dollar. the weight OF the
silver dollar has been 4l2.5 grains ever
since July 18th. 1897. and the weight OF
the gold dollar has been 2jS grains ever
since the 18Th day Of June, lS3i. but. leav-
ing out the trade-dollar, the amount Of
ll,s silver In the silver dollar Oils
grains) has never been changed since it
was fixed by the very first financial act OF
Congress on the subject in 1892; the diff
ference between ZIG grains and il2.5 grains
was made ND OF alloy: but the amount
of fine gold in the gold dollar has been
