who registered as Adelbert S. Hay.
There was considerable excitement
about the hotel, and a large body of
students and graduates who are here
for the commencement exercises, soon
gathered. A number Of his former
classmates at Yale positively identi-
fed the young man. 1t is believed that
Hay became i'll and went to the win
dow for air, was overcome by a fit of
dizziness and fell to the ground be-
low.
DR.. Bartlett, the medical examiner,
stated that Mr.. Hay probably came to
his death by an accident.

Macrum as the representative of this
country at Pretoria, South African re-
public, early last year and served ac-
ceptably during the trying times of

experience, for the able manner in
which he looked after the interests of
Americans and preserved the friend
ship of both British and Beers. The
times were such that to avoid showing

Tire Duty
of MOfv1eT'S.

What suffering frequently results
from mothers ignorance; or more
frequently from mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter
Tradition says woman must SUI
fer" and young women are so taught;
There is little truth and great deal
of exaggeration in this. II 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 examine
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.

whose portrait we here publish, wrote
in January, 1899, saying her daughter

She received an answer promptly with
advice, and under date of March, 1899,
the mother writes again that Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cured
her daughter of all pains and irregu-
larity.
Nothing in the world equals Lydia n
Pinkham's great medicine for regu.

Obituary..

Martha Josephine, youngest daugh-
ter of Joseph and Susan Matthews
Patton, was born near Knoxville, ILL.,,
May 20, 1850, and died near Hillsboro,
O., May 81, 1901, being 81 years and 2
days old. She leaves one brother and
two sisters, James Thomas, Margaret
Elton and Elizabeth Hudson, also
three half brothers, William, George
and Frank Brown to mourn the loss
of a kind and affectionate sister.
Two brothers, John and Moses having
preceded her to the Spirit Land many
years ago.
After the fathers death in 1850, the
mother with her little ones came
back to Ohio where the family have
since made their home.
She was married to Jacob Hudson
March %, 1869. Eight children were
born as the fruit of this union, Lizzie,
Sadie, Joseph, Susan, Frank, Fred,
Orpah and Homer. Joseph and Fred
dying in their infancy.
She early embraced religion and
after marriage identified herself with
the Presbyterian Church at Fall
Creek. When moving from that
place she was transferred to the NJ.
E. Church and has so long as health
permitted been faithful in attend
ance and took great pleasure in all
services of the church. For long
weary months sufferer, the patience
and cheerfulness with which she bore
her suffering was an inspiration to
all who came in contact with her and
so developed her faith and confidence
that her death was equally beautiful
with her life. ~

THE MILITIA SYSTEM.
Action by Congress Sought which
VIII Make state Troops More
Available for National Service.

The war department is anxious TO
hear from national guard officers and
authorities in regard to the PROPOSE
ton to reorganize the state troops on
lines which will admit of their employ
ment with the regulars. Secretary
Root intends by December to have such
a bill enacted, providing in the mean
time it is possible to adjust the numer-
Gus differences which exist in the
minds of national guard officers. Few
of them agree on the means by which
this may be effected. Some of them
are afraid of losing some of the advan-
tages and privileges they now enjoy,
and others believe the prospect of
actual service for the national guards
men will prove a encouragement to
those who would otherwise enter the
service. 1t is evidently a difficult
problem which the war department
has undertaken to solve. The military
authorities, however. realize that
something must be done to place the
state troops on a footing which will
admit of their utilization in time of
trouble without the difficulties and en-
barrassments which surrounded the
transfer to the service of the general
government of the state regiments
prior to the war with Spain.
