His holiness Predicts Trouble.

The pope in his allocutiOn. said sad
and dangerous events had come to pass
and were becoming more serious and
spreading from one part of Europe TO
another. Several states widely sep
arated bat united by an identical de-
sire. had entered into open war against
religion. The campaign was directed
against the religious congregations in
order to destroy them gradually.
Neither common law nor equity nor
the deserts of the congregations have
prevailed to prevent their destruction.
The desire was also manifested to pre-
vent the youth from being educated by
the congregations of whom many pu-
pills had become illustriOus.
Nothing Hopeful in the Future.

insults leveled at the church it is de-

sanctity of Christian marriage and de-

The pope deplored the seriousness OF
the present times and foresaw a still
graver outlook in the future. He
urged society to have recourse to the

cured by the use of DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription.
1t is worth noting that these cures
are lasting. Many medicines offered for
women's use are mere palliatives. They
numb the nerves and so dull the pain.
But they do not re-establish the lost
womanly health. "Favorite Prescrip-
ton is purely vegetable preparation.
1t contains no alcohol, neither opium,
cocaine or any other narcotic. 1t cannot
disagree with the weakest constitution.
1t establishes regularity, dries the drains
which weaken women, heals infamma-
ton and liberation and cures female
weakness.
IT IS woMAN'S WAY
to sacrifice herself for her family. She
goes without the new dress that husband
or child may have some coveted pleasure.
And for economy's sake she often bears
the ills which are undermining her
health. 1t is a false economy. The
health of the wife and mother is the
most important factor in the home life,
and every suffering woman who has been
cured by rFavorite Prescription is a
witness to the real economy of this
means of cure.
uMy health is the best now that it has
been for four years." writes Mrs. Phebe
Morris, of Ira, Cayuga Co., NY, Box So.

CAR FERRY GOES AGROUND

Ludington, Mich, Dec. 23.-While

midnight during a heavy southerly
gale the Pere Marquette car ferry No.

cry and breaking the main feed steam
pipe. Mike Taft, coal passer whose
home is in Chicago, was scalded to

Marine hospital here, lowering be-
tween life and death. Many others

received bad burns from the steam and
suffered great hardships during the
nine hours which followed before they
were rescued.
The accident happened at midnight,
and during the remainder of the night
there was neither light nor heat on the
boat. The wind was bitterly cold.
Great seas rolled across the deck and
ice formed wherever the water fell.
When day broke the life saving crew
threw a line to the wrecked craft and
began rescuing the crew with their
breeches buoy apparatus. The entire
crew of thirty-three men and the body
of Taft were taken off the wreck in
this manner One by one the men
were hauled over the churning ice on
the suspended cable. NE operation
occupied four hours ~ .as witnessed
with breathless ir est by an i'm

Department. controversy generally
deplored even by the participants, as
tending to bring the service into dis

t..ase relations of mutual con-

promises only happiness ends In disap-
pointnent and misery.
This is very true of marriage. The
young wife goes heart and soul into
home making and housekeeping. She
loves to cook and prepare the dainties
her husband enjoys. She is so robust
and hearty that she can hardly find
enough to do to exhaust her abundant
energy. That's the way it begins. AZ
ter while she finds that it takes all her
household cares begin to overtax her,
and she drops down into chair many a
time and gives way to tears because of
her weakness and misery. The sky so
cloudless on the morning of marriage
has soon become overcast.
THE CRITICAL. TIME
in many a woman's life comes Just at
this period of encouragement and de-
spair. She finds indications of disease
of the delicate womanly organs. Her
women friends perhaps tell her that the
bearing down sensation, the pains in the
back and loins indicate disease or dis
placement. She consults physicians,
takes prescribed treatments, all to no
avail. And yet this woman's case is
durable on the evidence of women who
have been cured.
cFour years ago my health began to
fall" writes Mrs. Nellie M. Reycraft,
of Glenwood, Washington Co., Oregon.
uI had heavy dragging and weight in
the region of the uterus, pain in back
and loins, could not lift anything heavy,
rest at night very poor; stomach de-
ranged. One physician said was over
worked, another said I had conges-
ton and falling of uterus. He treated
me nine months and said would not be
we'll until 1 had passed the change of
life. I was only twenty-seven years old
then. I became discouraged, and began
using DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
Took a teaspoonful three times day;
began feeling better right away. Am
using my third bottle now, and feel am
in good health. DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription has restored me to health.
If suffering women would give it fair
trial they would give it praise"
1t can truthfully be said that there is
hardly form of womanly disease med
ically durable which will not yield to the
faithful use of uFavorite Prescription"
More than this, it is matter of record
that many forms of womanly disease pro-
nounced incurable by local physicians

Roots response to the two notes

''Sir: BY direction of the president
i communicate to you his conclusions

ton of the public statement made by
you is not satisfactory, You are in
error if you suppose that you have the
same right as any other citizen to eX-
press publicly an opinion regarding Of

invariable rules of official propriety
necessary to the effective discipline of

SECRETARY OF WAR ROOT.

OF inquiry filed by Schley's attorney.
Incidentally the man who is called the
cause of it all was asked for his resig-
nation-Maclay. Probably General
Miles was given one of the sharpest
reprimands ever received by United
States General officer.
How the Lieutenant General Offended.
The first letter of the series is one
from Secretary Root to General Miles,
I'm which the latter is asked to explain
an interview published as with him
at Cincinnati, Dec. 6. The pith of the
words quoted as coming from Miles is
as follows, referring to the Schley find
mgs: Il think Dewey has summed up
the matter in clear and concise man
ner, and / believe his conclusions will
be Endorsed by the patriotic people of
the United States. / have no sympathy
with tn eefforts which have been made
with the efforts which have been made
to destroy the honor of an officer under
such circumstances"
Miles Explains His Remarks.
To the very brief note asking an
explanation of the foregoing General
Miles replied that his words had no
reference to the action, pending or 9TH
erwise, Of a coordinate branch of the
service; they were merely my person
al views based upon matters set forth
In various publications which had been
given to the world, and concerning
which / conceive there was no impro-
priety in expressing an opinion the
same as any other citizen upon mat
ter of such public interest"
Makes a Further Explanation.
Later, but before the secretary's re-
ply had left the latter's office, Miles
made an additional statement in which
he says that as he understands it, the
court of inquiry unanimously exoner-
ated him [Schleyl from such epithets
as coward, poltroon, etcetera, and their
opinions were given to the public for
the information of all citizens. When
i said that l had no sympathy with

appealed for protection and justifica-
tion, and certainly not to coordinate
