Mrs. August Pfalzgraf, of South

whose portrait we here publish, wrote
Mrs. Pinkham in January, 1899, saying
her daughter had suffered for two
years with irregular menstruation-
had headache all the time, and pain in
her side, feet swell, and was generally
miserable. Mrs. Pinkham promptly
replied with advice, and under date of
March, 1899, tho mother writes again
that Lydia E. Pirkham's Vegetable
Compound cured her daughter of all
pains and irregularity.
Nothing in the world equals Mrs.

COL LUMBIA WINS THIRD RACE
AND RETAINS AMERICAS CUP

lift and then the other. AT one time
the Columbia seemed mile ahead,
when sudden cant of the wind al
lowed the Shamrock to point nearer
the mark, and mile from home the
challenger appeared 10 be leading by
fully half n mile.
The talent began to feel nervous. but
as the yachts approached the finish
the Yankee skipper. by some miracu-
lous legerdermnin. showed his boat in

witnessed, when they crossed rail to

tapping the golden boats mast.
The usual pandcmonium that at

contest followed. Whistles, sirens.
bells, bands and cheers united in a
grand chorus of jublilation, and j. T.:
Morgan's steam yacht Corsair added
to the terrific din by firing national
salute of twenty-one guns.
After the Columbia had hauled down
her sails and set her victory flag. the
excursion boats crowded alongside to
cheer the Yankee sailors and the win
ming skipper Nor did they forget
either Upton or his gallant craft. In
turn the crowded steamers ran along
side the Shamrock and Erin and the
vanquished received almost as much
honor as the victor. And thus, with
fluctuations all around. the twelfth Sc
ries of races for the old cup which the
schooner America brought over fifty
years ago, ended with the best of feel
ing.
While taking his defeat gamely. Sir
Thomas Upton made no attempt to
conceal his honest disappointment
when he talked about the races.

New York, Oct. 4.-With victory
flags floating from her towering mast
heads and the ends of her spreaders in
honor of her concluding triumph in the
cup races of 1901, the gallant sloop Co
lumbia returned to her anchorage to-
night under the escort Of the entire
excursion fleet.
She to-day completed her defense OF
the honored trophy in another stirring
race with the Shamrock H., over a lee
ward and windward race of thirty
miles, crossing the finish line two sec
onds behind her antagonist, but win
ming on the time allowance conceded
by the Upton boat by forty-one Sec
onds.
For the second time the Columbia
has now successfully foileu the Mt
tempt of the Irish knight to wrest
from her possession the cup that means
the yachting supremacy of the world.
And plucky Sir Thomas Upton, stand
ing on the bridge of the Erin, led his
guests in three hearty cheers for the
successful defender.
"She is the better boat" he said,
''and she deserves to be cheered."
The series of races just closed will
always be memorable as the closest
ever sailed for the cup, and Sir Thorn

Notwithstanding the fact that the

"The climate is not at all disagreea-

While number of workmen were
executing repairs at the Palais du Lux
embourg they discovered number of
valuable paintings concealed behind a
tapestry. The quaestor of the senate
had them examined, and it was found
that they are portraits of the three
first presidents of the old Parliament
of Paris and of De Thou, the famous
judge who lived a century and half
ago. 1t is thought that these portraits
were placed behind the tapestry during
the Revolution in order to preserve
them, and that they have remained
there ever since.
