CURIOUS CUCKOOS.

The cuckoo is generally known only
as bird with very monotonous note
a continuous cry of "cuckoo, cuckoo"
over and over again. Among naturalists,
however, the cuckoo is known as bird
that never builds nest for itself, but
takes advantage of one already built by
some more industrious bird.
There is a good deal of the cuckoo
about these advertisers who, instead of
making a success of their own, seek TO
profit by the success which some one
else has made with much effort and
labor. II is so with those limitations of
DR.. Pierce's methods, by which free
medical advice is offered, although those
who make the offer are without qualified
medical ability or experience. And the
cry raised in some cases of woman.
woman, woman write to woman " makes
the resemblance to the cuckoo even
stronger.
There is as far as known no qualified
woman physician connected with any
proprietary medicine establishment, and
none therefore competent to give medi-
cal advice. II is certain that there is NO
one, man or woman, who can offer free
medical advice backed by such knowl-
edge and experience as is possessed by
DR.. r. V. Pierce, chief consulting ply
stefan to the Worlds Dispensary, Buffalo.
n. Y. For over thirty years DIR. Pierce
has made speciality of the treatment
of diseases peculiar to women. In that
time he has treated over half-a-zn;llion
women, ninety-eight per cent. of whom
have been perfectly cured. Every sick
woman is invited to consult Dr. Pierce
by letter absolutely without charge or
cost. Every letter is held as strictly pm
waite and sacredly confidential, and all
answers are mailed securely sealed in
perfectly plain envelopes bearing no
printing whatever upon them.

Mr.. CARNEGIE'S GIFT
WAS IN ST. \ BONDS
President Roosevelt Cannot See His
Way Clear to Accept and Will
Convert Them Into Cash.
(By Associated Press.)


Washington, Dec. 12.-It transpires
that the gift of $1O,00O,O0O which Andrew
Carnegie rendered to President Roose-
welt for the founding of a great insti-
tuition for higher education was not an
offer of $1O,OOO,O00 in cash, but the par
value of that amount in bonds of the
United States Steel corporation.
The offer of these bonds is embarrass-
ing to the administration owing to the
complca tions which might arise to the
administration owing to the complica-
tions which might arise if the govern
ment accepted them and the president,
it is understood, is now in correspond
ence with Mr.. Carnegie about the mat
ter. 1t is understood to be his desire
that the bonds be converted into cash.
If this is done the only obstacle in the
path of the acceptance Of the generous
gift of Mr.. Carnegie will be removed.
Pending the result of this correspond
ence Mr.. Carnegie's offer is being with.
held from congress.

New York, Dec. 12.-Albert T. Patrick.
was brought before the supreme court
today, on a writ of habeas corpus OBJ
tanned by his counsel, Contwell & Moore,
on the ground that the district attorney
had failed to prosecute on the indictment
handed down on April %, charging Pat
rick with the murder of William Marsh
Rice and that therefore the accused had
been deprived Of his constitutional right
to a speedy trial. ce.
Today's hearing was before Justice
Beach. Robert M. Moore asked for the
discharge of. the defendant. He said
Patrick had been confined in the Tombs
since October 4, 1900, although no indict-
ment was found until April 25, and that
efforts of defendants counsel to secure
a trial on the murder charge had been
futile.
Because of this and in order not tc
jeopardize the defendants interests in
the graver case of murder counsel had
been compelled to secure numerous ad-
journmnts Of the contest of the Rice
will.
Attorney Garvin said that Rice's valet,
JONES' would be able to testify by De-
cenIber 25, and the court said he would
hold the papers in the case and the
case would be called between December
26 and 80. This closed the hearing and
Patrick was taken back to prison.
