Mexican Railroad Finances.

The annual report of the Mexican
Central railway has some significant
figures well worth the study of all
those who wish to invest in Mexican
securities and industries. The total
gross gain for 1899 was S1,99T ,122. The
bulk of this advance on the receipts
of 1898 was made up of an increase in
local freight and local passenger busi-
ness. The former showed n gain of
$1,175,6SO and the latter $309,554. In
ternational freight showed a gain of
S42o,2G and international passenger
business of $503. Ii will be seen that
the local business was the chief factor
in putting the Mexican Central where
it could meet all its interest without
drawing upon the bankedup subsidy
fund as in previous years. The year
1890 was a banner year for the gov
ernment of Mexico and for the Central
railway.

THE CITY OF PEKIN.
Divided Into Two Parts-Rules and Re
strictions.

Divided Into Two Parts-Rules and Re
strictions.
The city of Fekin is in two sections,
known as the Tatar and Chinese cities
The former, taking its name from the
Tatars who conquered northern China
in the seventeenth century, is nearly
square and is surrounded by a wall
which is over fourteen miles long. The
Chinese city was originally suburb
and was inclosed in walls in the six
teenth century. This is rectangular in
shape, the walls somewhat lower than
those of the other city and measuring
ten miles in length. In the heart of the
Tatar city is the inclosure known as
the forbidden City," the home of the
emperor, to which no foreigners are
admitted. Around the forbidden City,
is large inclosure known as the In
perial city, also having high walls and
gates. Foreigners are allowed to pass
freely through this section of the city.
Three lakes are included in the in
closures which in winter time are used
for skating parties by the imperial
household.
Numerous temples adorn the two sec
tions of the city representing Budd-
hism, Confucianisin, Mohnmmelanism
and the large number of idols Worship
ed by the Chinese. There is no foreign
concession in Pekin, but the legations
are situated near together in the south
ern part OF the Tatar city. They were
originally fine Chinese residences, but
have been rebuilt to suit the tastes of
their present occupants. The Roman
Catholics erected three cathedrals, but
have been forced to abandon one, as it
was located too near the imperial pal
ace.

AN AMNESTY PROCLAMATION.
Rebellious FilIpinos VIII BE Given

Chance to Come In.
Washington, June 20.-Secretary
Root said tonight that the text of the
an nesty proclamation would be pub
lished tomorrow in Manila and Wash
ingtGn simultaneously. 1t will be is
sued by General Macarthur aud is
done by direction of the President. The
proclamation gives a free pardon to all
Filipinos who have participated in the
rebellion against the United States, the
only condition being that they take the
cath of allegiance and acknowle lge the
sovereignty of the United States 1t
excludes no one, except those who
have violated the laws of war. The
proclamation. the secretary said, will
speak for itself and will go into effect
Immediately. The time, considering the
facilities for communication in the
islands for acceptance of the amnesty
proclamation by those still in rebellion,
is limited, being only thirty or sixty
days.
Manila, June 2O.-General Macarthur
will tomorrow formally announce
President McIlinley's order of amnes-
ty. Buencamino, Paterno and other
prominent Filipino leaders are greatly
pleased, as they believe that under the
amnesty they can hiring about the sur
render of Aguinaldo, who, they de-
clare, is ready and willing to consider
the peace platform adopted by the
Filipino leaders, with a few insignifi-
cant exceptions.
Several meetings of the leaders were
held quietly in Manila last week. They
are encouraged by the progress they
are making with the natives and the
authorities here. Tomorrow an i'm
portant meeting will be held at which
the American decree will be read. 1t
is the concensus of opinion of the for
eigners, the better class of the Fill
pinos and the Spaniards, that Aguin-
aldo will appear in Manila shortly, as
result of the decree and the negotia-
tions of Buencamino.

Questions
for
Women

If you were offered sure aid in time
of trouble would you put it aside
and accept something of doubtful
efficiency?
If you saw before you a strong and
safe bridge leading to your goal, would
you ignore it to try some insecure and
tottering structure
The answer to these questions is
plain. You would, of course, choose
without hesitation what all evidence
showed to be the safe thing, and you
would risk nothing in useless expert
ments.
Why, then, do some women risk one
of their most precious possessions
their health-in trying medicines of
unknown value, which may even prove
hurtful to them?
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound has stood the test of years. It
has the largest sale of any remedy for
female ills in the world, and nothing
could have given it this sale except its
own merit.
Do not try any experiments, but buy
what is known to be reliable. Mrs.
Pinkham's Compound can do all that
is claimed for it, and all statements in
regard to it can be easily verified.
Write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass,
for little book she has just published
containing letters from the mayor of
Lynn, the postmaster and others.
Mrs. Pinkham's advice is offered free
of charge to all women who write to
her for aid. This invitation is con-
stantly renewed. A million women
have been cured of serious female ills by
Mrs. Pinkham's advice and medicine.

Burns Farmers, Club.

The October meeting at the home OF
Mr.. and Mrs. l.. B. Boyd was more like
a social gathering, as the program com.
mittee was not present, so no program
was prepared.
Although the members were nearly
all present it was not called to order
until after dinner which was highly en-
joyed by all.
The club joined in singing America
on coming to order after which prayer
was offered by 1. l.. Mills. The rol
call showed nearly all the ladies present
but several male members were absent.
B. g. Kanouse sang a solo entitled,
Bring my Fisher Boy back to Me-"
The October topic, "Club Extension
how best promoted? was taken up but
not much was said to the point, but the
outcome of it was that it was proposed
to elect committee of two to visit the
north part of the township and endeavor
to have another club organized. Presi.
dent Fosket and l. L. Mills were nomi-
mated for such committee but as Mr..
Mills jokingly intimated that he thought
the club wished to get rid of him by
sending him off to organize another
club, they were voted down, and l.. G.
Kanouse and A. Orr were elected to do
that work.
Mrs. S. Fosket was elected dele
