The greatest fortune any mother can

TRADE REVIEW.


New York, Aug. 1s.-Bradstreet's
says: Among the favorable features
reported this week are advices of
further expansion in fall trade dis.
tribution at leading western centers,
with relatively best buying proceed
ing from those sections of the south
west which have protited by good
crops, rather better distribution ly
dry goods jobbers at the east, firm
er tone and a perceptible growth in
confidence, accompanied by heavy
buying in some classes of steel and
iron, and disposition to believe
that an average crop and much more
than average corn and oats crops are
assured. Speculation in nearly all
lines, and especially in food prod
ucts, is at low ebb, and what price
changes are noted are mainly because
of this, though weather and crop con-
ditions have played some part in
wheat, corn and cotton respectively.
The money market as whole is
still easy, the only increase in de-
mand being noted at the west, where
trade is expanding, but where NOV
ing crops are still in the future. The
prices of staples are perhaps slightly
irregular, but changes are small and
the larer number of staples are UNI
changed,
From July to date this season wheat
exports are 2l,0Ol. $50 bushels, against
&c, l65,069 last season and 22,343,076
In ls9s-90. From July to date this
season corn exports are 24,ss1,ll4
bushels, against S2,j26,669 last season
and 2O,22s,s65 in ls9s-9g.

Between Whites and Blacks.

New York, Aug. 17.-Many fights
between whites and blacks resulted

ander Robinson, a negro, and colored
friend were on a Thirty-fourth street

negroes ought to be lynched. A man
with clothes line appeared from
somewhere and the two negroes were
pulled off the car. The rope was
thrown around Robinson's neck and
with so men and boys pulling, the
mob started for lamp post. A squad

A 4
WOMAN 5
MISTAKE

II IL a well-known fact that Lydia
E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound
has cured more women than any other
remedy. II therefore must be the
best possible medicine for female Ills.
But some women make the mistake
Of thinking that they will try some.
thing else, simply because it is new.
That mistake Is often fatal one
fatal to the health and happiness OF
the experimenter.
Is it not foolish to risk the possible
results OF such experiments? Is it not
better to depend upon a medicine
which has been tried successfully for
thirty years, and which has never
been found wanting? Do not therefore
let any one persuade You to try some
thing which they say is just as good.
1t cannot be just as good. Mrs. Pink.
hams Compound is the best, and there
can be only one best. This Is not q
mere assertion, but is positive fact,
admitted by hundreds OF regular
physicians.
Rely on your own common sense,
and Mrs. Pinkham's lifelong expert
ence, and you will make no mistake.
Don't experiment with your health,
but take medicine that you kaow is
good, and is backed by such letters as
these to Mrs. Pinkham:

AFTER Tue NEGROES.


New York, Aug 16.-A mob Of sew
eral hundred persons formed at II
o'clock last night in front of the home
of Policeman Robert ]. Thorpe,
Thirty-seventh street and Ninth ave-
nue., to wreak vengeance upon the me-
groes of that neighborhood, because
one of their race had caused the po-
liceman's death. Thorpe was stabbed
and bruised last Sunday night by sew
eral negroes while he was attempting
to arrest a colored woman and died
the following day. The man who in
tlicted most of the injuries is said to
be Arthur Harris, a negro who came
here several weeks ago from Washing
ton. In few moments the mob
last night swelled to 1900 people or
more and, as they became violent,
the negroes fled in terror into any
hiding place they could find.
The MOB OF white men ragged
through the district and negroes, re-
CARELESS of age or sex, were inds-
criminately attacked. Scores were
injured. 1t took the combined efforts
of the reserves, with as many more
policemen on regular patrol duty in
the four precincts TO restore order.
Clubs were used until, the policemen
were almost exhausted. Revolvers
were emptied into the air and in one
or two instances, fired at the upper
stories of the negro tenements, from
which the negroes defensively fired
bricks, paving stones and other mis-.
siles.
