there are thousands of wo-
men who nearly suffer death
from irregular menses. Some
times the "period comes too
often - sometimes not often
enough-sometimes the flow is
too scant. and again it is too
profuse. Each symptom shows
that Nature needs help, and
that there is trouble in the or
gans concerned. Be careful

ditions. Don't take any and

Aaron Rice in his affidavit SAYS:
That on Thursday last deponent
heard of the affair about the paint
ing of thefence between Mr.. Johnson
and Mr.. w. II. Bellinger and the
next morning saw Mr.. Bellinger in
the postOfiice. After he got the 10
O'Clock mail he came up by the cor

his store and asked him about the
the trouble between him and Mr..
Johnson, and he replied that it was
all over SO far as he was concerned.
Mr.. Bellinger then said he did not

in 1886, for the use of the post Office
department. Within five years the
Doric columns of the new post office
department were erected, and the
postmaster general took possession
thereof. Then it was that the hotel
was opened. It has been known by
name to all who have. visited the ma
tional capital during the past 60
years. 1t was what the proprietor
hoped it would be, as he expressed it
with. his New England nasal twang,
"a very likely tavern" The hotel
which will take its place will be a
credit to this great and growing city.
The department of justice is in tenn
porary quarters because it's historic
building, opposite the treasury depart
ment, has been torn down this sum-
mer, to make room for another. a
bigger and better building. The old
Corcoran art gallery is about to be
taken down, in order to make room
for hall of records of the executive
departments.
These are only a few of the inn
provements which are. being made
upon Pennsylvania avenue; and they
have come none too soon, The prin.
cipal thoroughfare of the national
capital has long been regarded as the
best parade ground in the world; but
the buildings along that thoroughfare
have never reflected credit upon the
city, nor upon the people of the re-
public. The Improvements briefly out
lined here really constitute a great
stride in the development of the ma.
tional capital as a modern city.

ed as an additional means of enter
tanning the guests that some one be
hypnotized. Young Sweeney, who is
quite 9 powerful young man, offered
his services. and was soon under the
influence Of 8 young operator named
Cook. In q few moments 1t. was seen
that the young man was conn ete1y'
under Cooks influence The company
became annoyed and suggested that
the spell be broken and the victim re-
leased. This was attempted, but in
vain. The young man cut up all sorts
Of antics. In his effort to release his
patient the operator: was; !. terribly
slugged and several Of his front teeth
knocked out. Sweeney manifested
wonderful feats of strength. At times
half dozen or more men attempted
to seize and bind him. but could not
do so. The services of stalwart DO.

got within reach of the latter's, fist
he received terrific blow, which
sent him spinning away more than
20 feet: Sweeney, under the peculiar
influence, appeared to imagine himself
q prize fighter, and for time it was
