Queen Victoria Denounced.

According to the Dublin correspond

United Irishman which was seized con.
tanned the following extracts from an
article by Maud Come, entitled, 1.-THE
Famine Queen:
I'm truth, for Victoria, in the de.
crepitude of her 81 years, to have de-
cided, after an absence of half a cen.
fury, to revisit the country she hates,
whose inhabitants are the victims of
the criminal policy of her reign, the
political necessity must have been ter.
ribly strong, for after all she is a wo.
man, and however vile, selfish and pitt
less her soul, she must sometimes trem-
BILE as death approaches, when she
thinks Of the countless Irish mothers,
who, shelterless and watching their
starving little ones, have cursed her be-
fore they died. Every eviction during
60 years has been carried out in Vic
toria's name, and If there is justice in
heaven the shame Of these poor Irish
migrant girls, whose very innocence
renders them an easy prey, and who
have been overcome in the terrible
struggle for existence on a foreign
shore. will fall on this woman, whose
bourgeois virtue is so Wanted and in
whose name they are destroyed. TAX
ing the shamrock in her withered hand,
she dares to ask ireland for soldiers to
protect the exterminators of their
race"

Remember
This
act

That in addressing Mrs. Pinkham'
you are communicating with womau
"a woman whose experience in treats
ing woman's ills is greater than that
of any living person-male Or'female.
A woman can talk freely to q .wo-
man when it is revolving TO relate her
private troubles to mant 49,
Many women suffer in silence and
drift along from bad to worse, knows
ing full well that they should have
immediate assistance, but a natural
modesty impels them to shrink from
exposing themselves to the questions
and probable examination of even
their family physician. It's unneces-
sary. Without money or price you can
consult a woman, whose knowledge
from actual experience is unequaled.
Women suffering from any form Of
female weakness are invited to freely
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at
Lynn, Mass.
All letters are received, opened,
read and answered by women only.
This is a positive fact-not q mere
statement. 1t is certified to by the
mayor and postmaster of Lynn and
others whose letters, all in a little book,
Mrs. Pinkham has just published.
Write for copy, it is free. Thus
has been established the eternal con-
fidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the
women of America which has never
been broken and has induced moro
than 100, 900 sufferers to write her for
advice during the last few months.
Out of the vast volume of experience
which she has to draw from, it il
more than possible that she has gained
the very knowledge that will help
your case. She asks nothing in re-
turn except your goodwill, and her
advice has relieved thousands. Here
are some of the CASES WE refer IN.

the mammoth roof fell with a crash,
throwing showers of burning embers in
every direction. The fire started over the
furnace room in the rear end of the
buluing. Before the first engine had ar

20 minutes every engine in the city was
at the scene, but the work of the fremen
proved OF no avail ana their efforts were
directed to the saving of surrounding
property.
At l:3O p. m. the fire jumped two ways,
attacking half block of three-story resi-
dences in the rear of the hall on Twelfth
street, and across Central street, where it
first caught the Second Presbyterian
church, one of the finest edifces in the
city, and then the Lathrop public school,
which was partially destroyed by a tor
nado in 1888. Residences on Twelfth
street, together with the church and
school, are total loss.
