ton and the little one sick all the time
and lived just about two months. This last baby
is as plump aud healthy as any mother could
wish She rs about three weeks old now and Is
gaining in aesh every day
Mothers who suffer undue pain prior to
or Succeeding the baby's birth are invited
to consult Dr. II. V. Pierce, by letter, abso-
lutely without charge. The great success
which has attended the careful methods
pursued by Or. Pierce, has caused imita-
tors TO spring up who make offers of free
advice which they are not competent to
give not being physicians. When YOU
are invited TO "write to woman, ask
the simple question, " Is this woman a
physcian?" You will find that she is
not, and does not, and dares not claim
to be, a physician. To offer such advice
is deceitful To receive it is dangerous.
Prospective mothers should send Tor a
free copy Of DR.. Pierce's great 1000
page book the Common Sense Medical
Adviser" A copy in paper-covers will
be sent 20 any address on receipt of 2I

RACE RIOTING
Continued from First page.

Sheriff Klock, in charge of the parish
prison, saw both the mayor and the
chief of police today. There is confined
IN the prison Leonard Pierson, who was
the man with Charles when the latter
shot and dangerously wounded Patrol
man Mora before he killed Captain Day
and> PatroIman Lamb. The mobs that
have been going the rounds of the city
have been anxious 10 get at Pierson if
possible and lynch him The sheriff as
sured both Of them that he had the jail
so well protected that it would require
the use Of dynamite to reach the culprit
Mayor Capodeville and his assistants
made arrangements this evening for
transportation facilities which would as
sist in the quick dispatch both Of the mi
lida and Of the special police from one
section Of the city to another All the
trolley lines sent Representatives to the
mayor to say that they would place spec
ial cars at his disposal throughout the
night, SO that armed forces could be
moved hither and thither. The express
companies also assured the mayor that
their wagons would be ready to respond
to any call which might be made upon
them.
Late this evening Mayor Capodeville is
sued a proclamation which had an excel
.ent effect. 1t called upon all citizens to
go to their homes and places Of business
and remain there. They were warned al
50 and advised not to assemble or idle
about the streets. The police were or
dered to dispense all crowds and TO ar
rest all obstreDerous and disorderly citi-
gems.
As a result Of the proclamation, tonight
few people were found in the streets In
order to prevent a miscellaneous ditribu-
ton of arns. the mayor ordered the clos
ing up Of the gun stores and. early in the
day, for the better preservation of the
public peace, issued orders to the police
to close up every saloon in the city.
At the various exchanges today the wish
was expressed that the Associated Press
might make it public to the world that
the present emeute was sincerely de-
prccatea and had the support Of mono of
the conservative elements Of the com
munity. The local business houses are
much opposed to the importation here of
large numbers of negroes to work on the
levees or the public works. but. while
they are Of this opinion, they are very
much opposed 10 the methods in dealing
with the negro popula tion adopted by the
rioters. Only the worst elements have
in the disorders here and
the assurance Is given that those re-
sponsible for these disor6 viii be pun
ished if they can be aD0rehended.

and that. consequently, the annexation of
South African Republic was wron and
that their independence should be restor-
ed to them. In his opinion, however, the
war was just and righteous, and should
not be judged by its consequences in loss
OF life. John Bright had defended the
vivil war in America as just anr right
eOus, although the loss of life was thou
sands to units as compared with South
Africa Mr.. Chamberlain charged the
radicals with condoning the rebellion.
The policy Of the government, he de-
clared, however, was not vindictive, and,
instead Of subjecting the rebels to the
death penalty or Imprisonment, it only
proposed to disarm them politically for
ten years.
The opposition did not spare Mr.. Cham
berlain. Liberal members sharply inter-
rupted him and charged him with mis-
quoting other speakers and reminded him
that the whole history of South Africa.
the past seven years had furnished sub
stantial ground for him to be suspected
in all his actions

ton of Mr. Chamberlains salary was
then lost, 2OS noes to 81 ayes, and the CO.

sonal character, making them charge
upon the postal reveue.'
Washington, D. c., July 26-Secretary
Root spent almost the entire morning in
consideration OF the report of Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General Bristow on
the Cuban postal frauds. 1t Is understood
that an order has been issued by General
Wood for the arrest of Rathbone. Sec
rotary Root discussed with Colonel Ed
wards, chief of the insular division, and
Judge Magoon, attorney for the division,
the financial and legal questions involved.
After the conference it was said that
General Wood would be given full charge
of the matter.
Washington, D. c., July 26.-The secre-
tary Of war does not issue orders TO
courts replied Secretary Root to the di-
rect question as to whether or not he
had given orders for the arrest Of E. G.
Rathbone, late director of posts in Cuba
He then explained that the Bristow le-
port had been forwarded to General
Wood by mail, but as this could not
reach him soon enough the main feature
of the report had been already PLACED in
his possession and were also in possess
sion of the proper authorities IT. Cut a.
He said the proceeding on the part of
General Wood would be the same as direc-
tons by the attorney general to a dis
trict attorney 10 proceed with the prose-
cution of persons charged with offenses
against the government. The Brisr3w re-
port would be made the basis o. prcse-
cution against the persons who were
charged with the offenses against the
postal laws.
II was learned that General Woo1 and
Acting Director General Fosnes of the
Cuban postal service had taken the MI
tial steps already toward bringing the
case of ex-Director General Rlthbone %

of Cuba.
Secretary Rot's attention was called to
