LETTER TO MRS. PINKHAM 1881
81 am very grateful to you for your
kindness and the interest you have
taken in me, and truly believe your
medicines and advice are worth more
to woman than all the doctors in the
world. For years had female troubles
and did nothing for them. Of course
I became no better and finally broke
down entirely. My troubles began
with Inflammation and hemorrhages
from the kidneys, then inflammation,
congestion and falling of the womb
and Inflammation of ovaries.

day for some time; then after nearly
two months the doctor gave me permits
sion to go back to work. 1 went back,
but in less than week was COM
PEELED to give up and go to bed. On
breaking down the second time, de-
cided to let doctors and their medicine
alone and try your remedies. Before
the first bottle was gone I felt the eff
fects of it. Three bottles of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and a
package of her Sanative Wash did me
more good than all the doctors treat
ments and medicine.
"The first remark that greets me
now is How much better you look!' and
you may be sure I never hesitate to tell
the cause of my health. Mrs. Il. j.

In one OF his last addresses the late
Sir BENJAMIN Ward Richardson said
that there had been great changes in
the medical world as regards the sub
ject of temperance. Once a medical
man who was teetotaler was looked
on as completely ignorant and was
not admitted into society or allowed
to have any knowledge or experience
He had known it himself and had
been in the heart of the fray. He had
testified against alcohol but was not
believed. 1t was said that alcohol
warmed the body; he had tried with
the thermometer and found it was not
SO. They said it gave strength;
he had tested the muscular power
under alcohol and found it weaker.
Medical men who had been abstainers
in days gone by had had to suffer but
things were very different now. A man
may be total abstainer and yet rise
to the top of his profession. They
might congratulate the world that
there was that advance.

Wet. u. COLUMN /.
THE WAR cry

The idlers chartered ga1ly and enjoyed
their cigarettes.
The drummer from Kentucky Tin the wine
and liquor trade),
His stock of bran-new stories to a genial
group displayed,
And bursts of merry laughter acclaimed
ecch happy hit,
Like thunder clouds responding to the
lighting flash of wit.
Within the vaulted entry and across the
polished tiles,
Tord the group of fippant gossips, under
fire of rakish smiles,
Came pair of mild faced maidens, clad in
modest navy blue,
With scope bonnets of the Army, and the
badge of crimson hue;
And with gentle step approaching as the
loungers stood at ease,
Spake in accents low and winning ''Will
you buy War Cry please?"
Offering a sample paper from bundle that
each bore,
''Will you please buy a copy?-it will tell
you of the War"
with an air of mock alarm,
Putting on his gold-rimmed pince-nez-
GA War Cry, little marin?
Why I thought the War was ended long
ere this
Been another Indian slaughter, or what's
the matter, Miss?''
A smile went round the circle at this clever
ready jest,
And the hand that held the paper trembled
as it fell to rest;
But upon the TESTERS features the lass's
eyes were set,
The sweetest, yet the saddest his glance
had ever met.
''No,'' she said, in earnest, quav'ring tones,
and tears were in her voice,
1.-THE war is not yet ended, nor the time
come to rejoice;
With dead and dying comrades the trench
es yet are filed,
And the field is strewn with victims-but
not by Indians killed.
&C TITS sinful human passion, the lust and
greed of gold
That slaughters there our brothers to-day
in hosts untold
That Stays them, not with bullets, but
with ardent spirits fell,
With wine, beer and whiskey-the artillery
of hell.
'sOh, sir, are you a helper in this awful
work of woe?
Do eyes of murdered bab ies glare Jelly at
you?
Do ghosts of famished mothers, and
wraiths of ruined sons
Cry from the tombs for vengeance on you
who man the guns?
ssMay God forbid! but oh, sir! this long
and weary fight
Is raging all around us-nor ceases day or
night
And you, who praise the soldier who faces
shot and shell,
Have you no manly honor for us who
fight as well?
ssThink you tits any pleasure that we, two
puny girls,
Should go where laughter greets us, or the
lip of scorner curls?
Nay, but our Masters colors we dare to
hold aloft.
And hear as once He bore for us, the taunts
of those who scoffed.
&C IT'S for your souls we labor; we do not
prize your gold.
But oh. don't slight our Master; His love
can meier be told;
You do not mean to be unkind, your hearts
are not all bad,
Rut vour thOug htless mirth makes sadder
our souls already sad"
No man in all the circle now wore leering
smile,
But moistened eyes were fixed upon that
face so free of guile;
And when the lass had finished the jester
ill at ease,
Said huskily, ''Sel1 me War Cry please"

CIVIC FEDERATION.
National Organization 60 Be Formed for
the Confederation OF Questions
of Importance.

Chicago, Sept. 25, = The executive
committee of the Civic federation of
Chicago has authorized its president,
Franklin Fl. Head, to appoint a COM
znittee of % to organize a national civic
federation, the committee to be com
posed of men representing different
sections of the country and different
phases of social and economic ques-
tions of the day. The object of such
an organization is stated to be to pro-
vide for thorough discussion and con-
sideration of questions of national i'm
portance, affecting either the foreign
or domestic policy of the United States;
to aid in the capitalization of the
most enlightened public sentiment in
the country in respect thereto; and to
promote necessary legislation in &C
cordance Herewith. The leaders of
the Civic federation have contemplated
this move for some time, deeming it
essential if a national work were to
become anything more than educa-
tiona1. The four days trust confer
ence recently held in Chicago was not
expected to agree upon general princi-
pies but it was believed the free dis
cussiOn by representatives of so many
schools of thought would furnish
material and basis for more thorough
work hereafter. It is to make it pos
sible to follow up the practical lines
suggested by the difference that the
national civic federation is projected.

ePAin's Action In Repudiating Her Cuban
Debt OF sA55,OOo.OoO Has startled
the worlds Ftnanciers

Washington, Sept 2S.-Spain's &C
ton in repudiating her so-called Cuban
debt has startled the fnanciers of the
world and the American politicians,
and there is every prospect that huge
speculations will be made this winter
with proposed legislation in view as
the lever to raise fortunes. In round
numbers the Cuban debt is 1856, 600. 600,
the bonds chiefly being held in Ger
many and France. With them repudi-
ated by Spain, spnrned by the United
States and declined by Cuba, the bonds
are valueless. They could be given a
fictitious and temporary value by the
proposal of legislation in congress. A
simple resolution earnestly pressed
could make these bonds salable for sew
eral millions of dollars-for a short
time at least.
There is every indication that ire
mendous lobby will be at work in the
interest of the Spanish bondhoiders
and their American allies this winter,
and that speculative profits are to be
made in the depreciation and initiation
of the bonds through the congressional
windmill. Many of the financial in
terests that tried to prevent the war
will be found behind this gigantic bal

that even the channels of diplomacy
will be pursued in the furtherance of
the scheme.
The state department knowns the
United States government is not re-
sponsible, believes that Cuba cannot
under any circumstances be forced to
pay, and suggests that if Spain should
attempt coercion when Cuba sets up
for herself, the United States govern
ment will interfere.

LACK OF SAILORS.
a Thousand Naval. Apprentices Required
and Recruiting Stations to Be Opened
for Enrolling New Men.

Washington, Sept. 2S.-The enlisted
force of the navy is just now 5000 men
short. One thousand apprentices are
required for the service and instruc-
tons have been issued for the recruit
ing stations to actively undertake the
work of enrolling new men. Stations
have been esta blished along the great
lakes, where excellent material was
found during the war with Spain, and
from this section hundreds of men will
probably be secured.
OF the 1880 men allowed by con-
gress there are now but Is, 500 on the
rolls, and of the 1850 apprentices but
1, 500 There is no urgent necessity for
enlisting the latter class, however, I'M
til the new barracks now being erect
ed at the training stations at Newport
and San Francisco are completed.
These will provide quarters for all the
law allowed, and with the several
training ships assigned by the navy for
drill purposes the government will
soon have under instruction fine lot
of men for the new vessels.
Lack of sailors for the navy is being
felt every day. During the war there
were but "a, 900 men af1oat, and now
that there has been no considerable re-
duction in ships, it is found that fully
20, 900 men are required to adequately
man the vessels in service. There are
other ships approaching completion
which will call for from 5000 to 1000
men additional next year, and congress
will be asked to grant an increase in
the enlisted forces.

May Lead to Annexation.

The color line which has suddenly re-
vealed itself in Cuban politics raises an
issue which may be relied upon to aid
the movement for annexation which is
gaining strength every day in the
island. One of the most important
papers in Havana warns the negroes
of Cuba that though they are in the
majority numerically, they will be de-
MED social and political equality if in
dependence comes. If this equality
should be denied them in case the
island gets a separate existence civil
war would be certain to take place.

Sugar Beet Culture.

Scores of farmers in the vicinity of
Rockford, Ill, have the past summer
been experimenting on the culture of
sugar beets, and tests show that the
country is in the sugar belt. Business
men of Rockford will probably erect a
$500, 600 sugar beet plant. Instead of
paying out $500, 900 year for sugar, it
is argued that with access to cheap
fuel, near the center of population and
near the enormous markets of Chicago,
this $500, 600 could be kept at home and
enough sugar sold outside to bring in
$3.50. 600 per wear.

PAPA SWIFT OBJECTS.
The Big Chicago Packer Not willing That

Chicago, Sept. 22.-The Times-Her-
aid says:
Prince Alexis Karageorivich, of Servia, is a
sutton for the hand of Miss Mabelle Swift only
child of E. G. Swift, of the house of Swift s. Co..
the big meat packers. While in Paris, Miss
Reed, the sister of the late Mrs. Paran Stevens
introduced the prince and the heiress. The
princes wooing resulted in Miss Swift's consent
to engagement, pending the ratification of
the match by her parents.
A radical objection by Mr.. Swift, however, to
ratifying the choice of his daughters heart is
the danger at some future time of her being
proclaimed merely morganatic wife. in case of
the elevation of Prince Alexis to the throne of
Servia. The American millionaire remembers
the fate of Betsy Patterson, whose marriage to
jerome Bonaparte brought much i'll into her
life. He, therefore, threatens to disinherit his
daughter if she persists in her love for the
prince.

Los Angeles, the second city of Cali

of petroleum oil wells it possesses. In
a belt three miles long and 600 feet
wide there are $50 producing wells.
Something over 1000 have been drilled
since August, 1898. Most of the wells
are from 800 to 1000 feet deep, and the
cost of drilling them has been from
81, 500 to S., 900 each. The output for
1895 approximated 1,1OO,OO barrels
and that for 1899 will be about the
same, it is estimated. About 800 men
are employed in the production and
distribution of the oil.
