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 wonanly organs. When there
are facilitating drains, or inflammation,
liberation or female weakness, happiness
i'll marriage is practically impossible. A
host of happy wives testify that the
secret OF happiness in marriage is found
i'll the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription. 1t dries the drains, heals Ill

4 Lesson in Politics.
From the Mortified News.

The manner in which Messrs. Dillingham;
and Plumley have conducted their respect
i've canvasses in this county, as related TO
the political interests of each, has been a
revelation to many politicians. II was
believed by many, who claim to know
things politically, that Plumley's candida
cy for Congress would work injury to Dill
linghams chances for the senatorship, es-
pecally if the former was successful; and
on the other hand that Dillingham's can
didacy was deadly to Plumley's interests.
This conclusion was hardly well founded,
but it was suggested by certain partisans
of each candidate. Other interested can
didates, especially for the senatorship,
looked and undoubtedly hoped for rup-
ture in Washington county. They failed,
however, TO take into consideration the
character of the two men. Messrs. Dill
bingham and Plumley believe that the
same honesty should prevail in political as
in business affairs; each recognized the
right of the other to aspire to high Of
fee and that each was fully entitled to the
support of the county of which they we're
residents. With such an understanding
between men of their character there
could be no "dealsn or treacherous work,
and the canvass moved smoothly along to
the end of the congressional contest. Mr..
Plumley was defeated in his own aspira-
tions, but the loyalty of each man to the
other is as it should be, unbroken. 1t is a
lesson in honest politics and one, we are
sorry to say, which is altogether too rare.

MISS RUTH Cords LONG.

then showed great promise, and her
friends urged her to make the operate
stage her aim. Her family dlscour-
aged this, however, and Miss Long
took up concert singing, in which she
has been successful.
When at San Diego, in 1898, Miss
Long was asked by the Christian En-
deavOr society If she would be willing
to sing at some services to be held on
board the United States steamship
Monterey. She gladly consented and
sang Where Is My Wandering Boy
Tonight? with so much effect that one
Of the sailors, boy Of about 20, came
forward to her at the conclusion of the
service and declared that the song as
rendered by her had determined him
to lead a different life and that he in
tended to write to his mother to that
eject on that same night.
Last winter Miss Long sang for Pres
ident and Mrs. Mckinley in Washing
ton. Since her return to Boston from
California she has been engaged in
church singing. Recently she sang at
revival services in Worcester, and her
success confirmed her liking for the
work.

IIIItsracy In the south,

Some data as TO illlteracy in our South
ern states were submitted at the recent
conference on education at the South
which should attract the attention of the
nation. The statistics submitted TO the
conference showed that in the IL states
constituting the Southern Confederacy, 10
per cent on an average of the native
whites are illiterate. The highest per
centage, %. 10, is in North Carolina; the
lowest, S.2S, in Texas. Of the negroes,
90 per cent are illiterates, the highest Fer
centage, r.. IA being in Louisiana, and the
lowest, 5059 in Florida. AS the South
either cannot or will not make provision
for the education of the illlterate negroes,
the cure for this undigested mass of igno-
r1pce may before long becbme a subject
national legislation, as u is already
n r of national concern.

Run by "A Railroad.
From the Barre Times. !

The dominant force in Vermont politics
today is the Rutland railroad Its leader
is that brilliant and successful business
man, Percy w. Clement of Rutland. 1t
has named a governor; secured the NOM
ination of congressman, and defeated the
most successful politician the state has
heretofore known, Gov. Page; and now
bids fair to name the next senator from
Vermont. 1t is stated, on high authority,
that the differences between Senator Proc
tor and Percy W. Clement have been
settled and an alliance formed. The work
of this new power in politics is unseen,
except in results, and so far it has won
every time.

Sweet Voiced Niece of the Secretary

Like one of the heroines in the story
Of I'm His Steps," a young woman
with a beautiful and cultured voice,
which might possibly make for her
fame and fortune on the operate stage,
has chosen to devote her talent to the
singing of gospel hymns. This young
woman is Miss Ruth Cords Long, the
pretty niece of the secretary Of the
navy.
Personally Miss Long is a young wo-
man of much charm and magnetism.
Her enthusiasm in her work proceeds
from a sincere conviction that her voice
can be made a powerful influence for
good in connection with evangelical
and temperance work. Her voice Is q
rich, deep contralto.
At the age of II she was brought out
as a concert singer In Portland, Me-,
