Am
Invitation,
fO
Women

All the world knows of the wonder
ful cures which have been made by
Lydia +. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, yet some women do not realize
that all that is claimed for it is abso-
lutely true.
If all suffering women could be made
to believe that Mrs. Pinkham can do
all she says she can, their suffering
would be at an end for they would
at once profit by her advice and be
cured.
There is no more puzzling thing than
that women will suffer great pain
month after month when every woman
knows of some woman whom Mrs.
Pinkham has helped, as the letters
from grateful women are constantly
being published at their own request
The same arrangements which make
painful or irregular periods with
dull backaches and headaches, and
dragging-down sensations, presently
develop into those serious infiamma-
tions of the feminine organs which
completely wreck health.
Mrs. Pinkham invites women to
write freely and confidentially to her
about their health and get the benefit
OF her great experience with the sut-
ferings OF women. No living person
can advise you so well. No remedy in
the world has the magnificent record
of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound for absolute cures of female
Ills. Mrs. Pinkham's address is Lynn,

HAYS POLICY PRAISED
Semi Official Berlin Paper De-
tends it From Attacks of
Other German Papers

Berlin, August 23.-The semi
official Berliner Post, in long
leading article, defends the po-
Icy Of the United States in China
against suspicious cast upon it by
certain German papers that go
upon the theory that Washing
ten is pursuing separate aims.
After reciting the history of Sec
retary Hays success in getting
declarations from the powers in
favor of the "open door," the
Post says that this is calculated
to romove all false interpretations
of American policy. It then goes
on to say:
"These Americans are to blame
for this mistrust of the policy of
the United States who demand
that President Mckinley shall
come forward as the protector of
the Chinese Empire and declare,
urbi, that the United States will
regard as an unfriendly act any
further seizures of Chinese ter
ritory, thus establishing an Am
erican protectorate over China"
The papers demand more ear
nestly than ever the Immediate
calling of the Reichstag in spec
ial session.

PET DOGS DEVOTION.
Animal FOunj Keeping Vigil on
His Dead Masters Grave.

Freehold, N ] E., August 20
A touching case Of the Affection a
dog can show tor it's master has
Just been demonstrated here.
W. W. Thompson, Of this place,
died a few days ago. He was an
aged aud wealthy man, and own
a tiny black and tan dog called
Ben, that was also we'll along in
years, and had little white whisk-
ers growing under its lower jaw.
Wherever Mr.. Thompson went
the dog was as his heels. and fol-
lowed him like shadow, whether
it was about the streets of Free
hold or to some of Mr.. Thonp-
sons country properties.
When Mr.. Thompson was seiz-
ed with his last and fatal illness
the little dog was with him con-
tinually in the sick room, aud
when taken out would whine and
whimper so that the family
would have to bring him back.
After Mr.. Thompson's death
Ben was raised up and shown his
dead masters face. Ben went
frantic at the sight, and made
wild efforts to get closer to Mr..
Thompscn's body.
After the funeral Ben disap~
peared, and, in spite of thor
ough search, was nowh ere to be
found. Several days passed, and
now Ben has been discovered. He
was picked up, muddy, unkept
and halfefamished, upon bis late
masters grave in nMaplewood Gem
etery. How the devoted little
animal found his way there is {
mystery. as he had never been il
1.-The cemetery before, and was no
| seen to follow the funeral cortege
1t is believed that he found hi
way to Mr.. Thompson's last rest
ing place solely by his own brut
: I instinct,
Mrs. Oscar Robinson, Mr.
Thompson's drughter, has nov
taken charge of Ben, and he wi
continue to live for the rest of hi
life in the old Thompson HON
4 here, where he SO long enjoye
himself with his beloved master.

AMERICAS CHINEsEPoLICY
The Queen after a Conference
With Her Ministers Will Dis
solve Parliament and
Fix a General
Election.

London, Aug. 25.-The policy
of the United States towards China
is watched here with more inter-
est than is that of any other coun-
try, for Epglishmen believe, some-
how or other, that in the troubles
ahead America will be the only
power with interest parallel to
theirs. The Spectator, discussing
the frailty Of the ties connecting
the powers, says:
ssContinental statesmen Look
askance at the new force, Amer
lea, whose limits they do not
Gle .rly discern and which, for
example, can send black troops to
Chins, and they mutter words
about the possible -Auglo-Saxon
understanding and would, if they
could, gladly postpone all action
SO as to have more time for refec-
tion and combination; only, you
see, Pekin is in flames, the Chi
nese Semiramis is on her way to
Segan and Russian general pub
licly reports that the Amur now
flows through Russian territory.
Jap an has been helping Europe,
but English observers are uacer-
tain what her statesmen intend."
ssThat the French Government
is prep eriug for war there can
no longer be any doubt" This
first sentence in a long article in
the Pail Mall Gazette of Wednes
day on "The Imminence of Wsl
With France" is the subject OF
serious speculation in most of the
periodicals. The Speaker cousid-
ers French invasion nightmare,
but fears that the persistent fo'
menting Of national hatred is
ominous and may precipitate 6
conflic'. The Spectator says il
does not wish to encourage the
scare, but it voices caution thai

FlTZSIMMONS VICTORIOUS


Out I'm the Second Round
Betting Was Seven to
Five on Fitz.
New York, August 24.-Whip.
ped into insensibility in less than
two rounds is the story in brief
of Tom Sharkey's meeting with
Bob Fitzsimmons at the Coney
Island Sporting Club tonight.
Fitzsimmons was the victor,
Sharkkey the loser. Fitzsimmons
said all along that when an op-
portunity presented itself he would
prove that he was Sharkey's su-
perior, ,and settle accounts for the
injustice done him when he met
Sharkey in California four years
ago. Shrkeya was equally conf
dent that he would prove to be
Fitzsimmon's master in the ring.
But the result of to-night's battle
and the brevity of it proved that
Fitzsimmons is still great fight
er and able to beat the best of
the heayyweights. He has beaten
Corbett, Ruhlin and Sharkey.
Fi,z simmons was decided IA
| vorite in the betting, owing to
his showing with Rubin short
time ago. His defeat of Rubin
on that occasion and the previous
victory Of Rubin over Sharkey
a few weeks earlier, were fig
ured on as showing that Fltzsim-
mons ought to whip the sailor on
| this occasion. When Fitzsim.
mons was declared the winner
the crowd surged toward the ring
but the police got ahead Of them
and drove them back. Fl zsim-
mons was congratulated by those
nearest his corner, and then he
ran over and grasped Sharkey
by the gloved hand. Fizsim.
mons almost danced with delight
when stepping back from
| Sharke5's corner, and as he
walked to his dressing room be
was loudly cheered. Snarkey II
the meantime had recovered
very quickly from his punish
ment and was able to leave ths
ring as soon as Fl'zsimmons.

people.
In many respects the meeting
parallel the indianapolis Motif
cation. This was true in the fact
| that both were held in parks; in
that the weather was intensely
hot and that the impatience of
the crowd compelled the speak
ers preceding Mr.. Bryan to
curta'l their remarks. Indeed not
one of the speakers was permit
ted to speak at the length he had
counted upon, and as result the
entire proceeding covered only
about an hour and a half. Rain
had been threatened early in the
day, but before the NEE ting was
called to order, at half past 3 in
the afternoon, the clouds had
lifted and the fear of a storm
which might compel the meeting
to be he'd indoors had given
place to the certainty of fercely
beating sunshine, which was in
tensifed by great humidity and
untempered by any breeze.

CHILLY" GOAT A DRUNKARD

to the Bar and Drinks Beer
and Whiskey Like A
Topper.
Newark, August 25.-The vice
of drunkenness is popularly sup
posed to be monopolized by the
human rare, but Newark has q
goat that is confirmed inebriate.
According to his owner, William
Hook, a saloon keeper, at Mar
ket and Frederick streets, things
have came to such a pass that
there is little or no hope of re-
forming him except by placing
him in strict confinement, in
communicate, to the numerous
convival spirits who have taken
a hand in leading him astray.
"Billy's" first step on the road
to ruin was taken last spring.
Bright and early one morning he
strolled into the saloon and glanc--
ed about to see if there were any
pretzels within reach. Knowing
what he was after the saloon
| keeper handed him one, which
disappeared quickly.
.sMore?" queried Hook, as the
goat eyed him with searching,
unsatisfedslook 'sOr would you
prefer a glass of lager?"
Billy rose on his hind legs and
put his fore feet on the rail in
front of the bar.
"Wen try a glass anyhow" )"
said Hook, drawing a schooner of
beer snd pushing It out under the
goats nose.
With preliminary sniff Billy
dipped his nose into the foam, and
while his master held the glass,
drained the amber hued beverage
almost to the last drop. Every
morning since then, as regular as
clock work, 'sBilly' has entered
the saloon, and placing his fore
feet on the bar rail, has waited
for hisglass of lager. He has al
so come In often at other times in
the day, with the same purpose
in view, but usually goes away
disappointed, for his master be-
llieves that one long drink in the,
morning is quite sufficient for the
lday.
q sBILLY's FIRST DRINK.
i One day the goat strolled into
the saloon of a neighbor, who had
, heard of his fondness for drink.
i "Have smile, Billy?" said the
saloon keeper.
The goat put his front feet ON
thesbar and drained the "schoon-
err that was held out to him. A
: customer was buying drink for
half dozen companions.
"Just see what the goat'll have"
4 he said.
! "Billy" got another schooner,
then another and another, as
. each round was bought, until he
became real hilarious, pranced
about and butted down the stove.
A policeman who chanced to be
}. passing threw him out in the
street gave him two or three
: lsmart raps with a club and sent
i him staggering home.
That was "Billy's frst4drunk.
HE slept it off in the back yard.
Since then he has had many. Re-
!cently he has been ssfull" nearly

to Sfan-Fu.
London, August 21.-Divers
paragraphs as to the movements
of the Chinese imperial family
continue to be received at the
treaty ports and are thence faith
fully transmitted TO the European
capitals. These representing the
court as having left Pekin are Of
exclusive Chinese origin. Ae-
cording to them, their majesties
are well en- their way to Sian-Fu,
about 500 mile inland.
Fighting was ggcc;i11g on at Pekin
Saturday, according to one re-
port, but according to dispatch
received oy the Admiralty from
RearsAdmiral Bruce the allies
entered the Sacred City of Pekin
on Friday.
If the Chinese government is at
Sian-Fu there is no means of get
ting at them. according to the
military men, ithout prolonged
campaign and + ith an army as
large as Lord Roberts to secure
the bases of communications.
Advice from the provincial cap
itals show that the attitude of the
southern mandarins has been far
more friendly since the allies
reached Pekin. Some of the mag
istrates have been issuing procla-
nations commanding the Chinese
to attend to business, to avoid Sc
dition and acknowledging that the
invasion of the foreigners is justi-
fed.
