The October Lippincott's Magazine.

"Lippincott's Magazine" for October con
tains a complete novel and many short
stories. The novel, by Mary Moss, is en-.
titled "Ftuit Out of Season" Miss Moss
has a happy way of plunglng into the story
she has to tell at the first page, without a
tiresome introduction, and the interest thus
caught is held unbroken to the last word.
Marie Van Vorst's stories run in the order
of good, better, best. This, her latest,
called "The Primrose Way" in the October
"Lippincott," excels anything she has yet
published, which is praise indeed 1t is
both pathetic and amusing; dealing with the
sex which is ''weak and easy flattered." a
sharp contrast is presented in the story con-
lubuted by Cy Warman entitled "Ihe
Persecution of Pup" which is a powerful
animal story Alfred Stoddart's hunting
tale entitled "The Witch Of the Hunt" is
about daring girl, race, and what came
of it,. Passing the Love of Womar," by
Cyrus Townsend Brady, is the story of a
temptation such as seldom falls to mans
lot. II is fine example of Mr.. Brady's
master.hand. Clinton Dangerheld's "The
Master of Fate" is distinctly original in
scheme. The sole survivor of shipwreck,
cast upon an island, finds a dozen friends
who had met the same fate one year before.
George Hyde Preston's burglar story, called
"Gratsy," is little gem.

THE WATCHwoRD OF WOMEN. .-Moiesty
is woman's watchword. Whatever threat.
ems her delicate serse of modesty, friphtens
her. For this reason many woman per-
mits diseases of the delicate womanly organs
to become aggravated because she cannot
bring herself to submit to the ordeal OF un.
pleasant questionings, offensive examina-
tions, and obnoxious local treatments, which
some physicians find necessary. Doubtless
thousands OF the women who have taken ad.
vantage of DIR. Pierce's offer Of free consulta-
tion by letter, have been led to do so by the
escape thus offered from a treatment repug.
nant to modesty. Any sick woman may
write TO DR.. Pierce, Buffalo, n. v, in per-
feet confidence; all letters being treated as
strictly private and sacredy confidential, and
all answers being sent in plain envelopes
with !, o advertising or other printing upon
them. DIR. Pierce's Favorte Prescription
has been long hailed as ga God.send to
women.n 1t makes weak women strong
and sick women well. "Favorie Prescrip-
ton" contains no alcohol, neither opium,

COAL STRIKE TALKS
President and Cabinet Off,

SEEKING MEANS TO END STRUGGLE.
situation seems to Present No Case
which Warrants Federal Inter-
ferencc-Question of II Re-
ccivcrsbip Considered.

WASHINGTON, oct. 1.-The prCsi-
dent has taken initiative steps to as
certain what if anything can be done
by federal authority to settle the coal
strike.
The result was a rather general ex-
preston of opinion by the advisers of
the president who were parties to the
conference to the effect that the fed
eral laws and constitution did not af-
ford means of federal interference TO
end the strike, but another conference
Will he held, and the president will do
all he can properly and legally do to
bring aboHt n settlement.
At the temporary White House n
conference was held with three cabi-
net officers. Attorney General Knox.
Secretary Moody and Postmaster Gen
eral Payne. Governor Crane of Mas
sachusetts was also present. These
gentlemen met with President Roose-
welt first, and after the subject had
been considered for some time they
adjourned to another room and con-
ferred together for an hour They all

other conference with the president.
and the strike situation was discussed
further
President Roosevelt is deeply con-
cerned over the situation. The ap-
proach of winter, with Il coal famine
imminent and the distress and suffer
ing that must ensue unless coal be-
comes available, presents situation
which he thinks should receive the at
tention of the administration if there
Is anything that can be done by the
government. Many appeals have been
made to him, and many suggestions
have been received by him, and it was
with view to ascertain what if any
thing could be done that the confer
ences were held.
The tenor Of the whole discussion
was TO the effect that there was lack
of power in the federal administla-
ton to take any action ut the present
stage of the strike. although the seri-
BUSINESS of the coal famine now and
the much greater evils soon to follow
were considered at length and with a
wish to discover some method of end
ing the industrial deadlock.

NEW YORK, Oct 1.-The stock mar
ket, which closed utterly demoraliZed
Monday as n result of stringent none
tary conditions and other unfaVOrable
circumstances, made a sensational re-
covery yesterday. The chief causes
for the complete reversal were the ac-
tion of the secretary of the treasury
in removing the restraint on bank re-
serves and persistent reports from va
rious quarters that the coal strike had
at last reached the point where nego-
tiations for settlement were actually
under way. Another influence for bet
ter prices was the decline in call mon
ey rates, though during the morning
loans were made as high as 10 per cent.
large part of the days loans was
made at around 10 per cent, and the
rate at the close went down to .. Sec
retary Shaw's visit to the street and
his talks with the leading banking in
terests helped in no small measure to
restore confidence. Local banks loaned
moderately.

Floods DO Great Damage,

KINGSTON, n. Y, Sept. 0.-IIcavy
rains have caused Esopus and Waikiki
creeks to overflow their banks, doing
damage to crops amounting TO over
$4,000. In the Catskill mountains all
brooks are now torrents. Bridges have
been carried away on the line of the
Ulster and Delaware railroad, causing
tieup and loss of $3.50 The New
York, Ontario and Western railroad
loses over 100000 by the washing down
of enbankments. The new Ellenville
and Kingston railroad is covered with
six feet of water. The total damage in
this section is estimated at 100000.

The most important news, which

the committee on platform has decided
to declare for Il 1000 ton barge canal,
and, second, that the committee ON ere

1t was almost u o'clock before the
delegates to the state Democratic con

The big auditorium was almost bare

to show where the various county del

At 1882 O'Clock State Chairman

At the close of Mr.. Stanchlield's ad-

A SECOND OPERATION.
Presidents Leg Treated with Knife
bone slightly Affected.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29-Another
operation has been performed on the
abscess on the left leg of President
Roosevelt. In the former operation a
simple needle was used to relieve the
trouble. but yesterday the surgeons
with knife made an incsion into the
small cavity, exposing the bone. which
was found to be slightly affected. The
presidents case has been progressing
satisfactory, but it is believed by the
physicians that the further operation
made will hasten his complete re-
covery.
While none of the doctors is willing
to be quoted, they give the most posi-
tive assurances that there is not the
least cause for alarm and say that. on
the contrary, there is every indication
of speedy recovery, that the area of
bone affected is very slight and will
not result In any impairment of the
presidents limb and that there is no
evidence whatever of any matter that
would produce blood poisoning. They
confidently expect that the president
will be on his feet within reasonable
time and with his robust constitution
to assist recovery soon will be himself
again.
The operation was performed by
Surgeon General RiXey, assisted by DR..
Lung, in consultation with Surgeon
General O'Reilly and Drs. Shaffer. Uric
and Stitt.
