wPain in the head and back is form
of suffering with which so many women
are familiar Often this pain is asso-
ciated with nervousness, sleep1esSness
and loss of appetite. The cause of such
suffering Is generally to be traced to
arrangement of the womanly function,
or a diseased condition of the delicate
womanly organs.
In such cases the action of DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is marvellous IN
the prompt relief of pain,&nd permanent
cure of disease. 1t regulates the peri
odic function, dries disagreeable drains,
heals Inflammation and liberation, and
cures female weakness. It cures when
all other means have been tried in vain.
Sick women are invited to consult DIR.

Dedication of Monument to Their
Memory at Chickamauga.
CHATTANOOGA, May 27-The monu-
ment erected by the state of South Car

was dedicated today. Governor Nc
Sweeney and state officers. accompan-
led by regiment of infantry, arrived at
an early hour this morning.
The monument is located at the foot
of Snodgrass hill Governor McSweeney

the virtues of the American soldier.
Rev. John Kershaw pronounced the in
vocation.

TO LIMIT INDEMNITY.
Striking Illustration of the Generos.
ity of Uncle Sam.

PEKING, May 27.-It seems probable
that Great Britain's proposition limit
ing the indemnity to be demanded from
China to 400, 900, 900 taels will be agreed
to by the end of the week. United
States Special Commissioner Rockhill
thinks this may be considered an Amer
lean victory. Though his proposition
limiting indemnity to $4,000, 900 taels
was not accepted, still it was the cause
of the other powers considering the
idea. The only point likely to cause
further delay in a decision by all the
powers except America is that regard
ing the raising of the foreign customs
per cent.
Mr. Rockhill told the ministers at
recent meeting that rather than take
this step America would relinquish all
claims to indemnity and even make a
money present to China, as American
commercial interests would suffer far
more thereby than those of any other
power, with possibly one exception.

PRESBYT CREED
WILL Be REVISED
Decision Reached by North
ern Assembly.
ACTION WAS UNANIMOUS

Committee to BE Appointed to Pre-
pare Amendments to Confession of
Faith and Report 10 the Next Ses-
sion of General Assembly.
PHILADELPHIA May 27-When the
Presbyterian general assembly met to.
day there appeared to be a disposition
on the part Of the commissioners to
| bring the debate on creed revision to an
end as soon as possible. The majority
of the delegates are impatient to settle
the question, so far as this assembly is
concerned There is still considerable
| other business Of Importance to be trans.
acted and some of the subjects are ex.
pected to arouse much discussion.
When the order of the day, the re-
vision of the Confession of Faith, was
reached, the moderator made few re-
marks, advising against any hasty ac-
tion today. He said there was a ten
dency to rush the matter so that the as
sembly could adjourn, and he hoped
the commissioners would not get into a
panicky condition and do something
which they might regret. He suggest
ed, however, that all the speeches be
limited, and motion to limit them to
10 minutes was un n}ulmously carried.
Before proceed to the further con-
sideratiOn Of the question of revision,
the assembly adopted the report of the
committee on the next place of meeting,
which selected the Fifth Avenue Pres.
byterian church, New York, as the next
meeting place of the general assembly
of 1902.
James D. Moffatt, D. D., president of
Washington and Jefferson university,
who on Saturday gave notice that he
would offer an amendment to the ma
jority report, was then recognized by
the moderator.
DR.. MoffatG explained that he was
moved to offer the amendment to recon.
mendation B because Of the small ma
jority which on Saturday voted 10 re-
tain the recommendation III the revision
committee report Objection had been
made, he said, to the original recon-
mendatiOn because of ambiguity in cer-
tain portions, and his object IN amend
ing was to render the vote of the as
sembly unanimous on whatever action
might be taken.
DIR. MOffatt's Amendment.
DR.. Moffatt's amendment reads as fol-
lows:
"We recommend that this committee
be instructed to prepare and to submit
to the next general assembly, for such
disposition as may be judged to be wise,

MURDERED IN THE PULPIT.
Negro Preacher Assassinated While
Preaching Gospel.


BIRMINGHAM, Ala, May 27.-J. -.
McEwen, a negro preacher. was shot
and killed last night while standing i'm
his pulpit expounding the gospel. The
shot was fired from a window by tho
side of the pulpit, a gun loaded with
buckshot being used. Fifteen buckshos
took effect and the preacher died within
half an hour.
Suspicion points to Henry Fletcher
as the guilty party. and he has been ar
rested and locked in Jail to await an in
vestigation. Some weeks ago Fletcher
charged McEwen with being too atten-
tive TO his wife and at that time made
considerable trouble. 1t is now as
serted by other negroes that Fletcher
fired the fatal shot. Neighbors say he
had threatened the life of the preacher.
The shooting occurred at the Har-
mony Street Baptist church, one of the
largest negro churches in the city.

SITUATION IN CHINA
STILL UNSETTLED
Views of a Person In a Posi-
tion to Know.
CHARACTER OF CHINESE


Foreigners Are Not Yet Out of Dan
ger-Evil Effects Of German Greco
and Aggression.
New YORK, May 27.-Prince Oukh
tomsky, president of the Russo Chimes
bank, who is described as knowing tn
Chinese. as having studied them and a
having lately spent four months at Pc
king, is quoted at some length on th
Chinese situation in a st. Petersbur!
dispatch to The Herald. In the cours
OF the interview he said:
81 did not see Count Won Walderse
at Peking, but every one there knew
that he felt the uselessness of his posi-
ton. The kaiser thought Peking coult
be taken with a battalion. So i
could; but the battalion could no
stop there. That is what he did no
understand. He did not comprehend
the tenaciGy and silent resisting power
of the Chinese, who have the characte
of the FinIander and characteristics O
the TurkisUan blood. The Chinese will
never forgive and never forget. There
is no fear with them. The spirit of fa
talism among them is far too strong
They would not care even if as many
more of them were sacrificed"
All Foreigners Hated.
"Do they hate Germans particularly?'
"No; they dislike US all about equally
and now more than ever.
"What would have been the right
course to pursue"
"Retire at once after the legations haC
been rescued and treat the Chinese as
barbarians, with whom we would have
no more intercourse.
"Had that been done Ii Hung Chang
and the rest of the mandarins would
have come running down after us. In
stead of that-and l look upon it as a
shame that Russian representatives
should be in such position-ministers
are running after Ii Hung Chang, bow.
ing, scraping and craving audiences OF
him.
Should Germany not evacuate Pc
king before the wet season comes on,
when the season commences the lega.
t1ons cannot remain in the city They
will have to go up the hills. They will
go with small guard of soldiers"
"What will happen then?"
Will Again Attack Legations.
"In the recent trouble over which
there was such great difficulties only
one of the legations was attacked. The
probability is that the Chinese are now
more angry and excited than ever and
will attack all the legations Remem-
Der, the Chinese are very bitter and
have much right to be so. The pillag.
ing at Peking was something awful.
Peking was fabulously rich
Prince Oukhtomsky said further of
the situation:
"The Germans do not mean to get out
of China at all. That was what every
body knew who was in Peking. 1t was
the common talk of every German
there, and they made no attempt at con-
cealing the object Of their mission,
which was to stay"
"But what do they want?"
''The provinces of Shan Tung and
Chi Ii adjacent to us in Manchuria, a
territory with 100000 of Chinese in.
habitants. They want Yang Use, but
only for trading purposes. All look
upon this as a colony for Germany"

Vests of grass linen, with vari-col-
ored embroidery, are new and smart.
Cherry red blouses and hats to
match are worn with fawn colored or
gray cloth skirts for morning wear.
Belts of black velvet with long loop
and streamers are worn by young
girls, the dotted ribbons being es-
pecially popular.
Many women are wearing the skirt
length chemise trimmed around the
lower edge. They can be bought for
reasonable prices and are cool and
comfortable.
Taffeta forms the waist ribbon Of
stylish gown of dark blue yelling,
which is trimmed with stitched bands.
There is a good sized bow with ends
tied a little to the left at the waist.
A dainty shirtwaist of black and
white striped lawn worn by a young
woman was most attractively set off
by a stitched red satin belt and
white stock and tie, edged with red of
the same color as the belt.
Pique collars with white ties in
some instances have the collar en-
broidered, and a field of flowers is
apparently going up from behind the
tie. These are unique, but hardly as
satisfactory as the plain pique collar.
The long, low back combs worn in
the hair show best when selected with
srecial reference to the color of the
hair. Blondes usually prefer the
lighter she'll, inset with a row of tur-
ouoises, while the rhinestones on
dark shell are most effective against
lark hair.

Useful Fancy Work.

Clever workers who want pretty
fancy work with which to beguile the
wet days spent at home should buy
boleros, collars or trimmings in either
black or white lace, selecting a bold
design, and then with small tinsel cord
outline all the larger designs and fill
in the centres Of circles or flowers
with three Of four loops. like minia-
ture rosette. These items will be use
full in the summer and are costly to
buy, says the Springfield Union.
Insertions for trimming gowns may
be treated in the same fashion. A COM
bination of gold cord and cream or
ecru lace is charming for cream, bis
cult or black gowns. or black lace
treated with silver cord is effective
over white satin for a black dress or
on pale colors. Applique motifs Of
lisse or grenadine can also be made by
stamping the fabric with transfers on
the wrong side. placing the design
over white cloth and then outlining
the edges with chenille or tinsel cord
and working out the design in massed
jet beads and tiny rosettes of tinsel.

DISCOVERED BY ACCIDENT.
Mathematician Learned His Own Talen
by Means OF Cow.

Mathematician Learned His Own Talent
by Means OF q Cow.
The retirement of Prof. Thomas c..
Mendenhall from the presidency OF the
Worcester Polytechnic institute has
been a matter Of extreme regret to ed
ucators, for he has long been regarded
as one of the best mathematicians In
the country. He was himself long ig-
norant Of the possession Of this talent,
and only discovered it by the merest
accident. :.
Prof. Mendenhall was the son OF a
poor farmer in Ohio. and was at work
on the farm one day when resident OF
a distant village drove up and struck
a bargain with the elder Mendenhall
for the purchase Of cow.
"Now," said the visitor, 81 must get
this COW home, but can't take time
to drive her 20 miles ahead Of my team,
and she can't 60 fast enough to be led
behind. My lad, I will give you dol
lar to drive her over to my place"
Thomas jumped at the chance, and
the next morning started on his walk
barefoot, before daylight arrived athis
destination, he received his dollar-the
first money he had ever owned-and
was invited to stay over night before
returning. On his way to his room ne
had passed a bookshelf on which lay
a Euclid. He had never seen geom-
etry before, and something prompted
him to take this one down and look
inside. He carried the book to his
room and pored over it as long as his
candle held out. Then he dreamed OF
it for the rest of the night
In the morning he timidly asked his
host if his dollar would buy the vol
ume. His JOY was so great at learning
that it would he could scarcely eat
his breakfast, and he trudged home
perfectly happy with his precious vol
ume under his arm.
This was his first step in science,
and his accidental introduction to Eu-
cid inspired him to work his way
through school and college and enter
upon the life Of research which has
placed him in the front rank Of Amer
ican scholars. He now has the right
to place long string Of honors and
titles after his name. and is member
Of half a dozen scientific associations.
