Young women who suffer from weakness
and disease peculiar to their sex live under
a terrible nervous tension, and If they
escape death are always threatened with
insanity. The whole nervous system is
affected by the constant drag and drain
upon the delicate and feminine organs.

HIS CABINET OUT.
General Brooke's Advisors at Havana
Hand Their Resign ations 70 Wood.

Hand Their resignation % Wood.
HAVANA, Dec. %. Major General
Leonard Wood formally took charge Of
the governor generals Office during the
morning. His first act was to accept
the resignation of the members Of the
advisory cabinet Of General Brooke.
These officers, after considering the
question over night. had decided to in
kist on retiring. Their decision meets
with public approval. Almost without
exception they had rendered themselves
obnoxious to a majority Of Cubans. One
prominent Cuban said:
The chief act of the advisors of Cen
eral Brooke, if they wish to rehabilitate
themselves with their countrymen, is
to resign and thus cause forgetfulness."
La Lucia. contrasting Gen. Brooke.
with Gen. Woods advent, says:
General Brooke's proclamation was
unfortunate "a it contained errors.
General Wood, although promising
nothing, speaks volumes by his quite
determined manner of taking charge Of
affairs, He has captivated everyone"
1t is believed that no governor will
be appointed for Santiago province, but
that an experiment in civil government
On a much broader scale than ever will
be initiated there under General Woods
supervision from Havana.
General Wood visited the prison and
penitentiaries during the day and
seemed much pleased, although he
would not comment on his observa-
tons. He was accompanied by Gener.
ais Chatfee and Ludlow.

bear healthy children. The prospective
mother should use every precaution to
preserve and foster her health. Not
alone for the sake of the little n to
conle but for her own sake. A perfectly
healthy woman is in no danger and in
very little pain at her time of trial.
There must be due preparation for
this time. Nature makes the
tory period three-fourths of a year and
worne who take the hint from nature
and use the time properly need have no
fears of the outcome. DIR. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription is medicine designed
to cure all distinctly feminine ailments
and taken during the period of CESSATION
it renders childbirth easy, safe and COM
pa~ratively painless.
1t is the invention of DR.. r. V. Pierce.

physician and skilled specialist in the
cure Of all diseases Of woman.

Globe National Bank Of boston.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2Y.-Comptroller
Dawes has appointed Special Examiner
Daniel G. Wing temporary receiver of
the Globe National bank Of Boston. In
connection with his action the comp.
troller said:
"Some time ago Mr.. Wing, who Is
one of the experts employed in the sys-
tenn of special bank examinations re.
Gently inauSurated. discovered a seri-
Gus condition of affairs in the Globe
National bank whicn he brought to the
attention of the com p~troller and, under
his direction, to the directors of the
bank. The directors very laudably
agreed and undertook to make good
the doubtful and bad assets found, and
have greatly improved
The Condition of the Bank
since that time. They also delivered to
the comptroller a written guaranty
that they would remove the doubtful
assets. Recent failures in Boston have
lessened the value of the unperformed
portion Of the guaranty and involved
the solvency of the bank
The condition of the bank was dis
covered by Special Examiner Wing in
time to secure such action on the par,
of the directors as will probably pre-
vent the failure from inficting heavy
losses upon the deposi,ors, but the di.
rectors and stockholders will lose
heavily.
The bank, it is understood, was IN.
volved in the Squire failure and in
mining stocks. The liabilities are over
$40, 800. 600.

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-Archbishop
Corrigan has transmitted to the clergy
of the diocese a decree from the Vati.
can bearing on the celebration of the
jubilee of the holy year. One effect Of
tho decree will be to make difficult the
marriage of a Catholic to q Protestant
by a priest in 1900. Mixed marriages,
as they are commonly termed, are GUS
tomarily allowed Ion dispensation of
the bishops. but for the holy year this
power is suspended.
In his circular, Archbishop Corrigan
says that the pope suspends special fac
ulties to ordinaries Of dioceses SO that
at this season. in particular, Rome the
great fountain of mercy and spiritual
favors for the Catholics Of the entire
world"
This is understood in Catholic circles
to mean that only by applying direct to
Rome shall dispensations be granted
during the year 1900.

DUE TO NEGLECT
BraZnell Mine Disaster Caused
by Disregard of State Min.
ing Laws.
Not a Single Safety Lamp,
Notwithstanding Known
Danger.
Probably Forty Men Perished.
Over a Score Of Sailors
Drown.

BROWNSVILLE. Pa, Dec. &c. Work
at Braznell mine is progressing very
slowly. The country roads from
Brownsville to the mine are almost i'm.
passable, and there is nc telegraph or
telephone connections with the Braz-
nell SO all news from the mine has been
brought overland. Four more bodies
have been recovered. but not identified.
P%lTT>BuRG. Dec. ga specialize The
Post from Brownsville says: The hor.
ror of the Brazenell mine disaster grows
in intensity every hour. The number
Of the dead is now estimated at 40 and
may pass that figure. At the same
time there is a strong presumption that
the laws regulating mining were care
lessly and probably crlminally disre-
sarded.
The first bodies Of the victims were
brought out of the mine during the day
and never in the history Of mine disas-
tiers were human beings so horribly
mutilated. 1t was nearly II o'clock be-
fore the first five bodies We're taken out,
2s hours after the explosion. At $50
three We're brought to the surface and
at $50 o'clock three more came up in
the cage Of the main shaft. AT least Il
other bodies are in sight, but ann be
reached on account of the debris.
Estimates Are Con fiicting.
The estimates OF the number Of dead
are conflicting. A. B. Brazenell, presi.
dent Of the Stockdale Coal company,
said he believed but 90 to 2j men had
been killed. Men who were working
around the mine give different figures.
They say 81 to 40 men went down the
mine shaft in the cages while about &c
climbed down the steps in the elevator
shaft. From - to 90 men We're in the
mine and Of this number but II have
been recovered ali We. All the rest,
whatever the number, are dead.
From statements obtained it seems
clear that the presence Of gas in guam
titles in the mine was perfectly we'll
known and that naked lights We're used
for several days before the explosion.
According to credible authority not a
single safety lampwas used in the mine
by the working crews since last Tues.
day morning, four days before the ex.
p.C>IOn.

LONDON, Dec. 2G.-Ono thing that
now seems beyond all possible doubt is
that the British guns abandoned at tn.
Colenso battle were really captured and
are In the hands of the Beers. The only
consolation for the British is that
though General Butler lost them the
Beers cannot turn their muzzles against
the British, as they have no shells tc
tit them, and all the ammunition on the
British side was exhausted before the
guns were left to their fate.
1t now appears that General Bulle.
himself had a very narrow escape. He
was hit in the side by a spent bullet
from a shrapnel shell. but it only cut
his skin and did him little harm.

TWENTY.ONE WERE LOST,
Crew of a Stranded ship Who Took te
Boats Perish-Others Rescued.

Boats erish-Other Rescued.
CAPE HENRY, Va, Dec. 26.-The
weather bureau official at Hatteras, n.
c.. reports that the British steamship
Ariosto, Captain Barnes, from Calves
ten to Norfolk for coal. thence TO Ham.
burg, loaded with cotton, corn, wheat
and meal, stranded on Ocracoke beach
six miles south of the Hatteras weather
bureau Office, at 4 a. IN. The steamship
carried a crew of 80 men. Twenty-one
men abandoned the steamer and took
10 the boats Q q after she stranded.
The boats We're wrecked in the heavy
seas and the entire II were drowned.
Captain Barnes and the remaining eighl
men We're taken from the ship by
Captain James Howard and crew OF
the Ocracoke lifesaving station. The
rescue was effected with difficulty ow.
ing to the heavy sea, the landing TAX.
ing almost the entire day. Captain
Barnes and the eight surviving mem
bers Of the crew are now being cared
for at the Ocracoke lifesaving station.
Some water Is making in the hold of the
vessel. but she is still in good condition
and probably can be saved if prompt
assistance is rendered.
Lifesavers Work Desperately
When the ~lifesavers reached the
scene the AriOsto was some 6OU feet out
and the lifeline fell short. Line after
line was fired to the stranded ship but
all failed to reach. In the meantime
the waves We're dashing over the ship
and Captain Barnes called his men to.
Gether for consultation, explaining tc
them that the chances were about even
II they should take to the small boats @,
wait for the ~lifesaving crew to fire a
lifeline IN board. So far as he was
concerned, the captain said, he would
wait for the lifesavers, but he left it to
the crew to decide among themselves.
Eight OF the sailors said they would
stick by the captain. These were saved.
Twenty-one declared they were doomed
il they remained on board and they left
the ship in small boats. All of them
lost their lives.
Imperilad Mon Rescued.
Meantime the Ocracoke lifesaving
crew stood its ground and continued
firing lines to the stranded ship. About
four hours after the Ariosto first struck
a lifeline was cast over the ships side.
Captain Ba rnes and his remaining men
made it fast and an hour later they had
dragged the big hawser aboard. The
lIfesavers slowly ran out the breaches
buoy and it reached the ship in safety.
Through the binding spray the men
were then, one by one, hauled to shore
more dead han alive, and by nightfall
all were safe. When the disaster was
made known here wrecking tugs started
for the scene, and it is a matter of
steam against time if they succeeded in
reaching the Ariosto before the vessel
goes to pieces.
The Ariosto was Z years of age. and
owned by r. c. McAndress & Go. Of
Boston.
