Attorney Brandenburg contended that

To Inspect the Dorothen.

An inspection has been ordered by the
Navy Department of the gunboat Doro-
thea to determine whether she should be
sent to the Asiatic station under her re-
cent orders. 1t is probable that she will
not be sent. Her coal capacity is only
ninety tons. and owing to the arrange
ment of her batteries it is believed that
she cannot carry coal on deck. Unless
her coal capacity is increased she will not
be sent to the Far East, for reasons of
safety. The gunboat Vixen, assigned this
week to Cuban waters, Will probably be
sent in her place.

Branch Station.

In arranging the groundwork Of his pre-
liminary plan for pneumatic tube service
in Washington, should Congress see fit to
make an appropriation for this purpose,
Postmaster Merritt communicated with
the Supervising Architect of the Treasury
in regard to the advisability of establish
ing a sub-station in the Treasury Depart
ment with pneumatic tube service. Mr..
Merritt suggested that about 500 square
feet would be needed for such a branch
office. In reply the Supervising Architect
said that the Treasury did not have the
room to spare and the officials were of the
opinion the service would be of no bene-
fit to the Department, as the tubes would
not admit of packages as bulky as those
containing internal revenue stamps.

The MARRIAGE Problem

rHow to be happy though married." has
been entirely solved to the satisfaction
of hundreds of thousands of women
There can be no happiness without
health. The general health of woman
is dependent on the local health of the
delicate womanly organs. When there
are facilitating drains, or inflammation,
liberation or female weakness, happiness
in marriage is practically impossible. A
host of happy wives testify that the
secret of happiness in marriage is found
in the use Of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription. It dries the drains, heals ul-
ceration and inflammation and cures fe-
male weakness. 1t makes weak women
strong, sick women well.

Senator John T. Morgan made the fol-
lowing statement at Selma. Ala, day
or two ago. in regard to the Presidential
election:
Naturally l have paid great deal of
attention to the drift of things politically
as they affect the Democratic party in re-
gard to the national election which occurs
in November. l believe that Bryan will
certainly receive majority Of votes as
certified in the electoral college. 1 have
always thought that there were more
Democrats than Republicans in this coun-
try and with the party united such as it
has never been before, look for the De-
mocracy to poll more votes this year than
it has ever done before, more than when
Cleveland was elected. and more than
Bryan did four years ago. l do not look
for landslide. nor can take pencil and
paper and figure that this State Will go
for Bryan. and this one for Mckinley. l
know that there are 500, 600 more Demo-
Gratis. normally, in the country than Re-
publicans. and the only question is will
the opposition. through the use OF an enor-
nous corruption fund. be able to make
inroads where it will by narrow margin
change results in certain States that will
accomplish the defeat of Bryan and Stew
enson. feel confident of the success of
our ticket this year for many reasons.
The party was never more united. The
sentiment of the masses, the electors OF
all sorts. are with Bryan. They will give
to the Democratic ticket combined
strength that will certainly secure at least
a majority of twenty in the ELECTORAL col
lege."
Mayor Jones, of Toledo, says that man
who votes contrary to the dictates of his
conscience is a traitor to his soul, which
is worse than being traitor to any flag.
Senator Davis" says the st. Paul
Despatch must feel much as did
the old war horse who heard the roar of
battle from afar and was restricted from
taking part For some thirty-five years
Senator Davis has been in the forefront
of every political struggle in Minnesota,
and one can imagine his feelings now as
he lies in sick bed and impatiently chafes
at the illness which keeps him from the
fight. Some days ago he delivered an ad-
dress at Duluth. where he took cold in an
injured foot and since then has been laid
up suffering excruciating pain that was in
no sense lessened by the knowledge that
his work in the political field was calling
upon him. Mrs. Davis was summoned
from the East, and the Senator has since
been somewhat better, but 1t will still be
days before he can resume his work on
the political hustings"
