Statement by Richard Croker.

New York, Feb. 26.--Richard Croker.
according to a Vantage, England, dis
pacth to the Journal and Advertiser.
has dictated and revised a statement
in which he says:
"The operations Of the police depart
ment from nominal head is very like
" to prove a burdensome task. 1t is
all right In theory, but the one In COM
mand must seek advice Of subordinates.
"rhe appointment OF Murphy is a
good one; his connections have not been
distant from the police force
The appointment OF Devery Is a vim
dication OF his administration OF his Of
fee while chief. This is bound to dis
please some, and, while II is true that
Devery and Murphy both have rivals,
every ofiice-seeker cannot be accommo-
dated. There is no reason for chang
ing Devery from a superior to an in
ferior position. except to appease pub
lie clamor."

Has Made No Ovorlures for
Peace.

New York, Feb. 26.-There are few
additional details Of the rout Of the
Dutch forces In South Africa says the
Tribune's London correspondent, but
there Is a buoyant feeling in military
circles that the end Of the war is nearer
than 1t was. The junction Of Dewets
men with the commanders which were
already In Cape Colony, has been pre-
vented. the invaders have been scat
tered in all directions and their re-
sources have been paralyzed.
Bothas force has been harassed
steadily and compelled to break up into
small bands Its losses In ammunition
are heavy, and the country is devastat-
ed. Gen. Kitchener has, with scienu-
fic thoroughness. corralled the sparse
population here and there under strong
guard and emptied the vast spaces Of
South African veldt. 50 that there is
no possibility of continuing the war in
an effective way. There are no re-
lays Of horses. no droyes Of cattle and
the veldt Is uninhabitab,e and train
wrecklng Is the last resource of the
guerrillas. There may be unforeseen
accidents. but no military expert in
London expects that the war will be
prolonged beyond the first of July. 1t
Is reported that there were wagers in
johannesburg at the opening of the
year that the mines would be operated
by the first week In July.

Womans greatest gift is the power to inspire admiration
respect and love. There is beauty in health which is
attractive to men than regularity of features.
The snap and spirit which health gives to the eye, the
movement, and the speech are full of magnetism.
Sickly women can't understand this.
They only know that they miserable and their efforts
to be attractive are languid and weak
Womans influence in the world is limited by her strength,
and the strength of health is real strength.
1t brings with it beauty and grace and oveness of dis
position
To be successful wife, to retain the love and admiration
of her husband should be womans constant study If she
would be all she may she must guard well against the signs
of i'll health.
Regular and painless menstruaon absolutely necessary.
The help which Lydia Il. Pinkhams Vegetable
Compound gives to women who attacked by any dis
order of the feminine organism is real permanent help 1t
cures all weaknesses of the organs and makes possible for
women to retain their health and beauty mature years.
