WHITMAN DEFEATS LARNED.
Challenge Round of the Middle States
Tennis Tourney.

Before brilliant gathering of spectators
Mac" Whitman, the Harvard giant, de-
feated W. A. Larned in the challenge round
of the middle states lawn tennis champion
ship tournament on the courts of the Or.
ange Tennis Club yesterday afternoon. The
match was continued from the point at
which 1t was stopped by the rain Saturday.
At that time both players had won set,
and the score stood at Al in the third set
with Whitman leading.
The Harvard mans style of play differed
slightly from that of Saturday. He used
the same deep balls to hold Larned back
from the net, and when his opponent
rushed to the barrier showed his ability to
pass him. 1t was in his speed that Whit
man differed. He constantly changed from
fast to slow and used a short chop stroke
which made his veteran adversary appear
at disadvantage, as he almost always
knocked them into the net.
In the thirteen games yesterday after
noon the points went to deuce seven times
Six of these games Whitman pulled out
played Larned had the points at 40, love
yet the Harvard man won out.
Whitman said before leaving for the Ca
madam tournament that the intercity match
between Paret and Ward and the remainder
of the championship doubles in which the
Harvard pair, Davis and Ward and the
Yale team, Hackett and Allen, were en-.
gagged. will be played off at the Longwood

Embroidery SILK Rack.

A very pretty little hanging rack,
made Of silver wire in ornamental fill
gree shape. with little hooks of bent
wire, closely resembles q hatrack in
miniature. But this is not a doll ar
rangement for hats, only a dainty adj
junct to the embroidery table. On
each little hook hangs still another
silver wire arrangement, bent into a
four-leaved rosette and intended to
hold embroidery silks. The silks to
be used in any one special design may
be wound upon these silk holders and
hung on the rack conveniently near
the embroidery frame. This smooth
silver wire may not be as elaborate as
the heavily chased or all fligree silk
holders, but they are better for the
silk, do not fray them, and the pretty
little rack keeps them together and
free from the dirt about the table.

NERVOUS DEPRESSION.


A woman with the blues is a very I'M
comfortable person. She is illogical,
unhappy and frequently hysterical.
The condition of the mind known as
&c the blues" nearly always, with wo-
men, results from diseased organs OF
generation.
1t is a source of wonder that in this
age of advanced medical science, any
person should still believe that mere
force of will and determination will
overcome depressed spirits and terv-
BUSINESS in women. These troubles are
Indications of disease.
Every woman who doesn't under
stand her condition should write to
Lynn, Mass, to Mrs. Pinkham for her
advice. Her advice is thorough COM
mon sense, and is the counsel of q
learned woman of great experience.
Read the story of Mrs F. S. BENNETT,
Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol-
lowing letter:
DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I have Adf-
fcred for over two years with falling
enlargement and liberation OF the
womb, and this spring, being in sneh
=. weakened condition, causeu me to
low for nearly six months. Some time
ugo, urged by fr:eade, 7 wrote to ,-ou
for advice. After using the trea tment
which you advised for short time,
that terrible flow stopped.
Il am now gaining strength and
flesh, and have better health than l
have had for the past ten years. 1
wish to say to all distressed, suffer
ing women, do not suffer longer, when
there is one so kind and willing to
aid you"
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is a woman's remedy for wo-
mans ills. More than million wo-
men have been benefited by it.

GOOD ROADS NOTES.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS


Rural Delivery and the Roads.
1t is certain that as long as our
roads remain as they are now rural
free mail delivery will often be a
physical impossibility, writes John M.
Stahl, in the Chicago Record. Some
times the mails cannot be delivered at
all to farmers or even to the residents
OF outlying suburban districts; and,
aside from this, the roads in most
localities are such as to make the daily
delivery of mail unbearably costly.
To the other gains from road improve
ment may be added the fact that it
would permit rural free mail delivery
at reasonable cost
In an address delivered in the
Senate Chamber, Springfield, Ill,
March 90, 1892, said that the aver
age cost of wagon transportation in
the United States was twenty-five
cents per ton per mile; that the aver
age annual wagon transportation
moved $50, 900 tons, and that good
roads would save above $500, 900, 900
year. AS [ explained in that ad-
dress, these figures were obtained
from calculations based on the traffic
reports made by the railways to State
Railway Commissions and the Inter
state Commerce Commission, and on
the statistics of railway, river boat
and lake-vessel traffic then furnished
by the 1890 census. So far as I have
been able to learn, it was the first at
tempt to do more than guess at the
magnitude of wagon transportation
and the saving from good roads. The
address was published and widely
circulated by the Illinois division of
the League of American Wheelmen,
and the figures were at once vigor-
ously assaulted. But no one has ever
succeeded in proving that they were
much in error Later, Professor
Latta, of Purdue University, investi-
gated the cost of wagon transporta-
ton, and arrived at practically the
same figures. In 1896 the Good
roads Bureau of the Department Of
Agriculture sent letters OF inquiry to
10, 900 farmers throughout the Union,
and from the data thus obtained and
from other sources it reached the con-
clusion that the cost of wagon trans
portation is twenty-five cents per ton
per mile; that the annual wagon trans
portation moves 313, $40, 227 tons, and
that good roads would save each year
nearly 5000, 000,0 900. In the $780,
600, 600 were included the loss of per-
ishable products for want of access to
markets, the failure to reach markets
when prices were good and the failure
to cultivate products which would be
mark etable if markets were always
accessible.
The sum of $500, 600, 900 is big
annual tribute to mud It's ii4eequit-
able to put all the burden of road
making on the farmers. Other classes
are benefited by good roads. Good
