liberated condition of the neck of the
womb can produce all of these symp-
toms, and no woman should allow
herself to reach such a perfection of
misery when there is absolutely no
need of it. The subject of our por-
trait in this sketch, Mrs. Williams of
Englishtown, Nj, has been entirely
cured of such illness and misery by
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound.
No other medicine has such record
for absolute cures, and no other medi-
cine is "just as good" Women who
want cure should insist upon getting
Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound when they ask for it at a store.

PORTO RICO.

SAN JUAN, July 5.-Y esterday was
day of distinctly American observ-
ances. The celebration proceeded
with unwonted enthusiasm, with balls,
professions and fire works. Salutes
were fired, there were great displays of
bunting, there were music speeches, il
American celebration, in which the
Porto Ricans joined with the keenest
zest.
In the morning the legislature met
to discuss the matter of free trade be-
tween the United States and the island.
After a joint session lasting three
hours, the assembly unanimously
passed the free trade resolution. The
hall was crowded with people and
cheers greeted che announcement that
Gov. Allen had signed the resolutions:
"The Porto Rican assembly in extra
session and acting pursuant to the in
structions Of Congress, does hereby nc
tify the President of the United States
that, by virtue of the Holander acts
and other acts it has enacted and put
into operation q system OF loo | taxa.
ton 20 meet the necessities of insular
governments and it hereby directs that
a copy Of this joint resolution be pre-
sented to the President of the United
States and it requests that Gov. Allen
deliver the resolution in question to
President Mckinley to the end that
the proclamation may be made by him,
and if it shall seem wise and proper to
the President of the United States, the
assembly requests that his proclama-
ton be issued July 25, as that day is
being established legal Porto Rican
holiday to commemorate the anniver-
sary of the coming Of the American
flag"

Lord Salisbury Gays England must
defend her frontiers. The English
way Of defending the boundaries is to
wipe them out. Tina was the way in
Venezuela, or the attempted way; that
was the way in South Africa, but no
strong arm was stretched out with the
warning, "Thus far, aud no farther"
That is the attempted way in Alaska.
The British frontier has been carried
thirty miles toward tide water and the
other day the Canadian ensign was
hoisted at Skagway, a point in this
portable frontier of England. An
American citizen, which his name is
George Miller, and he halls from Eu-
gene, Oregon, rectified the frontier
with his jack-knife and good right arm.
He hauled down the sign of British
usurpation, and it has been sent back to
the summit of White Pass, still twenty
miles beyond its lawful station, but
permitted to fly there by the terms Of a
lcnpOlaiy asloOnohU Dot"oon Oh0
British and American governments.
The Skagway Nel0s thus recites the
story of the British "defense" of Ca
madam boundaries:
"By leaps and bounds The Canadian
custom house advanced toward tide
water. From Tagish to Bennett, then
to Log Cabin, and lastly to the summit,
and when the customs ensign Of Cana
da was hoisted at Skagway it is small
wonder that some John Brown should
not wait for the action from Washing
ton and cut it down."

Some people, who have come down
from former generation, during the
circus tour are recalling the day OF Ar
cadian simplicity when Vermont's law
forbade the circus to come within the
State limits-and it was only some two
score years ago the prohibition was
withdrawn. Circuses skirted all the
borders, to which Vermonters came
down and crossed over into New York,
New Hampshire and Massachusetts to
see the feats of high and lofty tumbling,
and finally the virtue and wisdom re-
Tented and admitted the show to the
tour of the State.

H0RDEN REDUCES WAGES.
Returns to Original Scale Failing to Force q

(By the Associated Press. }

Fall River, Mass. Nov. 5.-M c. d.
Borden, owner of the Iron Works Cotton
Mills here, who, few weeks ago, caused
excitement in labor circles here by an
nouncing an increase of ten per cent in
wages, today gave notice Of return to
the original schedule November 18th. 1t
was stated that Mr.. Borden hoped to COM
pei the other manufacturers in the city
to raise wages to meet his action but,
general increase was refused and the
operatives accepted the situation
The following is the notice as posted
in all the rooms at the Iron Works mills:
THE market price of labor in this CON-
munity, as fixed by the management Of
kindred mills having been formally &C
cepted by the operatives. the wages of the
employees in the mills of the Fall River
Iron Works Corporation will be reduced
10 per cent to the scale prevailing prior
to the recent advances.
THE reduction will take effect Mon
day. November Is. While the manage
ment of this corporation believed that
under existing conditions wages should
be advanced, it nevertheless cannot pay
any more than the rate accepted in other
mills"
