He Saved the Bridge.

"At Harpers Ferry on one occasion
the flood in the Potomac was so great
that it threatened the destruction of
the costly railroad bridge, which was
seen to shake in it's unsteadiness," said
former Governor Thomas G. Jones.
"When everybody present was looking
each moment to see the bridge go
down, President John w. Garrett Of
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad arriv-
ed upon the scene Approaching the
necessity of instant action, he gave an
abrupt order for a loaded train Of
freight cars standing on a side track to
be run with the locomotive on to the
bridge and kept there.
"'But, Mr.. Garrett, that is a train
load of silk said the local superintend-
ent.
"T don't care; run out the cars!
commanded the great master Of rail-
roads. 1T would be easier to pay for
the silk than to build new bridge
''The silk train was run on to the
bridge, and the structure was saved.
The silk was being sent by rail across
the continent from San Francisco, at
which port it had been received from
China and Japan. Garrett was a great
man, one of the greatest of those who
have aided in the material development
of America. In emergencies he was
very resourceful, as was demonstrated
in perhaps a small way by the Har-
pers Ferry incident" = Birmingham

Common

Women

If person is i'll and needs medi-
cine is it not wise to get one that has
stood the test of time and has hum
dreds of thousands of cures to it's
credit?
A great many women who are i'll try
everything they hear of in the way of
medicine, and this experimenting with
unknown drugs is constant menace
to their already impaired health.
This seems to US very unwise, for
there are remedies which are no ex-
periments and have been known years
and years to be doing only good.
Take for instance Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound; for thirty
years its record has been one un-
broken chain of success. No medicine
for female ills the world has over
known has such a record for cures.
1t seems so strange that some people
really know nothing, some of which
while on the other hand it is easily
proved that over one million women
have been restored to health by Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
We have published in the news
genuine testimonial letters than have
ever been pu blished in the interest of
any other medicine.
All this should, and does, produce a
spirit of confidence in the hearts Of
women which is difficult to dislodge,
and when they are asked to take some
thing else they say, No, we want

REDUCING THE ARMY
The Republican National Commit
tee Issues a Statement.
RECOMMENDATION As TO PORTO RICO
Plans Made for the Final Withdrawal Of
Troops from ChlnH-The Army to
Drop hack 10 1880
. .s Next July,

New York, Oct. 27.-The republican
national committee issued the follow.
ing statement concerning the United
States army yesterday:
Reports received from the war depart
ment at Washington by the republican
national committee give news Of the
gradual reduction of the forces of oc-
cupation in the army. Gen. Davis, COM
manding the department in Porto Rico.
recommends that the troops on that Is
land be withdrawn almost entirely He
thinks IS companies sufficient to garrison
the island. As Porto Rico Is an impor-
tant naval station. however, artillery
men will be needed there still to man
the forts, especially at San Juan. Or
ders have been Issued for the reduction
Of the troops In China and plans made
for their final withdrawal 1t Is hoped
that when the election is over the sltua-
tion will improve sufficiently In the Phil
ippines to warrant a material reduction
OF force there.
: Secretary Root recently called atten-
ton to the fact that In the fall of 1898,
when President Mckinley recommended
the retention of 100000 men in the army,
he was arguing for decrease and not
an increase, for then there were 272,OOO
men In service. The war with Spain was
not ended, for the peace treaty had not
been ratified. In the meantime, people
remember that unless there Is further
legislation on the subject, the army will
drop back to its former limit Of 1880
men next July, which is only one-third
of what 1t was In proportion to the size
of the country, so great has been the
growth In population.
This makes little allowance for the
elaborate scheme Of coast Notifications
proposed by the late Samuel ]. Tilden for
the protection of a peaceful republic.
