The Duty
al Mothers.

What suffering frequently results
from a mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from a mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says woman must suf-
fer" and young women are SO taught.
There is q little truth and q great deal
of exaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs treat
ment, and her mother should see that
she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to a physician for examina-
ton but no mother need hesitate to
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham's Laboratory
at Lynn, Mass, and secure from a
woman the most efficient advice with
out charge.

STATEMENT OF ELECTRICIAN.

as to the execution:
II used 100 volts of electricity. turning
it into the body at full voltage for seven
seconds and then slowly reducing it for
% seconds. Then | threw the full voltage
on again for eight seconds. Then, at the
suggestion of DR. Macdonald, | turned
IL on again for a few Seconds. did not
think there was any necessity for the
third contact and the lack Of resistanc.
shown when it was administered proved
that life was extinct. The body showed
eight amperes Of resistance. That is a
little more than would be given BY ~

THE BODY DESTROYED.
The body was placed in a black stained

TOO MANY IRISH MEMBERS.
MR.. CHAMBERLAIN SAYS ABUSE SHOULD
NOT BE PERPETUATED-GRE
SEVERITY TO BOERS.

Edinburgh. Oct. 25.-Mr. Chamberlain. the
Colonial Secretary, addressing upward of eight
thousand persons in waveriey Market Edin-
burgh. tonight, announced that the govern
ment intended TO frame new rules for the House
OF Commons so TO limit Irish obstruction He
said
We propose to bring forward rules which
shal give 10 the majority OF the Commons
greater control over its own business and
greater control over the men who insult and
outrage IL; and We shall endeavor To protect
the Mother of Parliaments from those who
would destroy her usefulness and reputation.
But this not the only thing Mr Chamber
lain declared the government intended to do
He added:
The present representation of Ireland Is an
abuse and a scandal No alteration can be
made except in immediate anticipation OF a
general dissolution, and We are not conternplat-
ing that. But when We get nearer to the time
We shall ask you whether you think Irish rep
resentation is so precious 10 you, is so valuable
10 the national interests, that il is desirable to
continue il on scale which gives the Irish a
representation enormously exceeding the pro-
portionate representation Of Scotland and Eng
land.
The Colonial Secretary went 10 point out
that the basis of population Ireland had
thirty members too many in the House of
Commons. and the basis Of her contributions
for imperial purposes. as considered at the time
OF the union she had from forty TO fifty men,
bers too many. He continued:
i say that this constitutes an abuse and there
lis no reason why il should be perpetuated.
In another portion of the speech. which was
largely devoted TO the Irish question he OBJ
served:
If these gentlemen who openly shout for
the Mahdi and pray for the Beers: II they had
a Parliament Of their own; If all the strings of
Irish government had been in their hands; II
they had had the power. is il not certain that
they would have refused TO pay their contribu-
ton TO the war, and that they would have
placed us in a position OF embarrassment?
The relations of the Parliamentary Opposi-
ton with the Irish party. Mr.. Chamberlain said
he considered dangerous to the empire"
In reviewing the in South Africa, which
he declared again had been forced upon
Great Britain by the Beers. he said the
government acknowledged that II had made a
mistake to the time OF ending the war. and
that he admired the tenacty of the Beers; but
he insisted that il the duty OF Great
Britain 10 meet this tenacity with equal resolu-
ton. Then followed what is regarded most
important declaration:
/ think the time has come, is coming, when
measures Of greater severity may be neces-
dents for anything do in the actions Of those
nations who critcise our "barbarity and
cruelty but whose example in Poland. in the
Caucasus, in Algeria, in Tonquin, in Bosnia and
in the Franco-Cierman War We have never APP
preached.
