AN ERRONEOUS REPORT.


HumOr or smallpox at bOyd's Declar-
ed to Be Incorrect.
Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
BOYD'S, Md, January -, 1901.
A good deal of excitement has been
aroused in the surrounding community by
the circulation of a report that there is a
case of smallpox in this vicinity. The ru-
NOR Is without foundation. 1t started, 1t Is
said, from the cutting off from work of the
floating gang of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad which had two Of its laborers in
fected with the disease near Baltimore,
where 1t was working. and from the further
fact that young man Of this place was q
member Of this gang, and returned Saturday
to Boyd's Up to this date there are no in
fictitious diseases of any kind in this
vicinity.
The jury Of condemnation has awarded
D. J. Dickey & Sons $3.50 for condemnation
of their lands at Ellicott City for the pur-
pose of permitting improvements on the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad there

paralysis. He waA a brother of Henry
Martin who is a Conductor on one of the

FACTORY GIRLS"
The Graceful and Handsome
Women Who Work at
the Loom.

Any one who has lived in factory
town and has seen the tide of human
life which floods the streets when the
mills stop for the day, will have been
struck by the number of graceful and
handsome young women among the
throng. Light hearted, smiling, mirth-
full, it is hard to realize that they have
just left days fatiguing work. But
another sight attracts the onlooker.
He sees groups of other women, thin
of form, dull of eye, languid of move
ment, and he realizes that these were

President Again Asks That Victims'

The President yesterday sent message
to Congress renewing his recommendation
Of last session that Congress make 'gra-
cious provision for indemnity to the fam
lilies" of the two victims Of the Tallulah,
La. lynching, July 20. 1899, who were sub
5ects of the Italian government. The mes
sage is accompanied by a report made
by the Secretary of State, In which he
says:
ION representations made of the affair
by the Italian ambassador at this CAPT.
tai, the governor Of Louisiana, at the re-
quest of the Secretary Of State, took
prompt and active measures with view
Of bringing the guilty parties to justice.
The matter has been the subject OF care
full investigation by the federal govern
ment, and has been investigated by three
successive grand juries Of the parish OF
Madison, with the result that no indict-
ment has been found nor other steps taken
resulting in the apprehension and punish
ment Of the guilty parties; and. nothWith-
standing the cordial eeo-operation OF the
governor of thgG state with the federal
government, in order to bring them to
Justice, he reports that he Is not prepared

me what to do. | followed his adj
vice, and today am a well woman,
thanks to DR.. Pierce"
No woman should delay the use Of
"Favorite Prescription" if she is suf-
fering from womanly disease The
longer womanly disease is neglected
the greater its effect on the general
health, and the slower the cure.
There is no object in experimenting
with other medicines when the ex-
perience of thousands of women
proves that "Favorite Prescription"
is the surest and safest of put-up
medicines for the cure OF disease
peculiarly womanly.
THE PRIVILEGE OF SICK WOMEN.
Sick and ailing women are invited
to consult DR.. Pierce, by letter, free.
All correspondence is sacredly secret
and the written condolences of wo-
men are guarded by the same strict
professional privacy observed by DR..
Pierce and his staff in personal con-
situations with women at the In
valids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
| Buffalo, N. Y. Address DR.. r. Y.
Rjerce, Buffalo, N. Y.
1t is hardly possible to overesti-
mate the value of this free consulta-
ton by letter with DR.. Pierce. In
numerous cases such as Mrs. Spoon
er's, when local medical advice and
treatment had failed to give relief, a
letter to DR.. Pierce has been the
means of restoring perfect health.
Accept no substitute for Favor
lite Prescription" The substitute
medicine is only the shadow instead
of the substance and is pressed on
the customer because it pays the
dealer little more profit than is paid
by high-class standard preparation
like "Favorite Prescription"
