condolences of women are treated with
the same strict professional privacy OBJ
served by DIR. Pierce in personal consul
tations with women at the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo,
N. Y. Address DR.. X. V. Pierce, Buff
falo, N. Y.
This offer of free consultation by letter
is not to be classed with the spurious
offers Of "free medical advice" made by
those who having neither professional
training nor experience are medically
and legally unqualified to give the adj
vice they offer. Although it takes more
than a diploma to make a good physi-
clan yet the medical diploma is essen
tial as witnessing to professional study
and training. 1t is we'll for women to
examine into offers of rfree medical
advice" and to ascertain whether the
offer is made by those competent pro-
fessionally and legally to give medical
advice. Any one can offer cmedical
advice" but such advice from one who
is not medically educated and qualified
is not only worthless but dangerous.
In little over thirty years DR.. Pierce,

The effort of some dealers to sell a

Saturday night a large party of
Centralia young people went to Che
halls to attend an athletic contest be.

two towns. The ride was made on
hayricks covered with straw. During
the evening the wagons were left
standing on the streets in front of a
livery barn. While no one was watch.
ing, some hoodlums smeared paint
over the straw and uncOupled the
wagons. When the Centralians start
ed home they soon discovered the
paint, but not until number of
young ladies and gentlemen had their
clothing almost ruined from the color.
General indignation is felt, not only
at Chehalis, but -Centralia. The
general impression seems to prevail
that the mischief was done by gang
OF hoodlums from Centr ALA, who are
at outs with the high school young
folks. The high school students of
Chehalis have offered reward of $25
and the City Council offered $50 re.
ward for the arrest and conviction of
the guilty parties.
There was considerable excitement
in the family of John Shannon at
Aberdeen, the other day, when it was
discovered that two of the daughters
had eloped. Miss Bessie, the eldest, a
girl OF 16 or II, was sent to Ocosta to
make preparations for the removal of
the family to that place. Upon her
arrival there she was met by young
man named Frank Wilson, who had
followed ..her from Aberdeen. The
couple walked TO Cosmopolis and took
the boat for Montesano, were married
by minister there and returned to
Aberdeen and are now at the home Of
W. B. Wilson. When the family fol-
lowed their effects to the depot to take
the train for their new home in Ocosta,
it was discovered that the second
daughter, Lena, a miss OF IA, was
missing. The most diligent search by
the father and police failed to find any
trace OF the girl. 1t was learned later
in the evening that she had been seen
with a lad by the name of Marshall,
but it has been impossible thus far to
locate their whereabouts.

Never docs man feel so helpless as
when he looks upon the suffering of the

Newspaper Men in Business.

New 1ork Letter TO the Philadelphia Ledger.
The old idea that the newspaper man is
untitled for business is not confirmed by
the facts There are a large number of
former newspaper men now holding high
positions in Wall street. Among them is
Joseph C. Hendrix, president of the Bank
of Commerce, who was formerly reporter
on the Sun. James B. Dill. the corpora
ton lawyer, who holds the record for the
organization of new companies, was once a
reporter on the Tribune. Daniel S. Lamont,
vice president of the Northern Pacific rail-
road, was in the newspaper business before
he became Grover Cievelands secretary.
Vice President Vanderlip of the National
City was a few years ago financial editor
OF the Chicago Tribune. c. A. Conant,
treasurer Of the Morton Trust Company
was year ago Washington correspondent
of the Journal of Commerce c. s. Gleed
one of the directors of the Atchson sys-
tenn, had newspaper training. Col. Geo.
Harvey, formerly managing editor of the
World, and now head of Harper's, has been
closely identified with a number of Mr.
Whitneys business enterprises. W. R.
Corwine formerly of the World Is trust
officer of the Eastern Trust Company. Mr.
Steiner, one of the largest custom house
brokers', was once connected with the Her

Growth of the Cocaine Habit :
From the Chicago Record-Herald


during sensational trial which was con-
quoted some time ago in London and which
hau 10 90 with a case of morphia poisoning
there was considerable evidence in the press
that the drug habit was on the increase
chemist wrote that this was true in all
classes OF society, and added: 1.-THE profess
sional man chooses morphia, the soldier
strychnla and atropide, the actor uses CO.
ca1ne and women prefer choral and brom
ldes. Inc discussion subsidized for awhile
but 1t has been taken up again and the use
and effect of cocaine are specially considered
by physician in a letter to the Westrnin
ster Gazette. The writer says among
other things: e
Il assert that the habit of using cocaine is
increasing, and increasing to an alarming
extent; that the end of the cocaine habit is
either mental or actual death; that its ar
rest is SO difficult that, although it is right
TO try to stop it, it is well nigh hopeless TO
expect a cure in a bad case and I therefore
only by necessity and that 1t should he
promptly scheduled as a poison"
Inc writer insists that any use of the
drug without medical sanction or profess
slonal supervision is dangerous; that even
where 1t Is employed as spray for the
throat precautions should be taken against
the formation of cocaine habit. This Is
because its progress is SO subtle that the
punt Vi safety may De passed before there
is any realization of the craving for the
drug. One discouraging feature of the cam
paign for restriction of the use of all such
dangerous medicines is found in the made
quacy of the laws to prevent the sale of
poisons. The chemist before quoted points
out that many poisons are unscheduled,
and also that it is difficult where restrictive
laws exist to prevent evasions of them

Bad Spelling.

From the New York Sun.
Only fifty-six out of 141 freshmen at the
Northwestern University were able to
pass an examination in spelling. They were
tested with ordinary words, not with diff
ficuIt and perplexing ones; and the test was
too much for most of them. Probably SINH
lar examinations at almost any American
university would show substantially the
same results Spelling is not an accom-
plishment in which college youth excel. Nor
do the graduates of the common schools dis
tireuish themselves in this useful but now
somewhat superciliously regarded branch.
The letters of the average public school
graduate or university graduate are likely
to he prolific in bad spelling.
Professor Clark of the Northwestern Uni
versity says the trouble is with the so-called
SCIENTIFIC method of teaching spelling.
The public schools turn out graduates who
have learned with great pains how not to
smell. The undergraduates and graduates
of the colleges probably spell a little or
considerably worse than the public school
children.
But the great thing is the method. Moth
ing can equal the pity which the enthusiasts
of the new method bestow upon children
who have learned to spell without reliance
upon it. Spelling Is nothing; method is
everything. Let us remember that when
we come across fantastic or laundering
speller The worse he spells, the more SUI
perior Is the method by which he came to
that pre-eminence a muddler and twister
of photography.

Which Way Madness Lies.
From the London Telegraph,


From the report of the commissioners in
lunacy the deduction has been drawn in
certain quarters that celibacy favors and
marriage tends to prevent insanity The
inference Is unwarranted. At ages over
twenty lunacy Is full four times as prev
alent in those who are single as COM
pared with the married The correct con-
clusion is the same-though to a less de-
gree-as in regard to consumption; the
presence of the infirmity, incipient or de-
veloped, prevented matrimony- Another
erroneous conclusion was that lunacy is
much more prevalent among clergy of the
Church of England than among dissenting
ministers, The clergy are classed by them
selves, whereas the dissenting preachers
classed with Roman Catholic priests,
missionaries, Scripture readers, nuns and
Sisters of Charity; consequently no COM
parison is possible. further false corol-
larry was that actresses were largely sub
ject to alienation. The figures given com
prise IN one group actors. conJurerS, per-
formers and others engaged in theaters,
exhibitions and shows, and therefore defy
distinct classification. SO far conditions
in life and occupation go, easy circum-
stances, moderate activity, and life in tie
open air favor mind they do body. Per
hapS the most remarkable exception Is the
nigh rate or mental disease among buck
sters, costermongers, hawkers and ped
dlers. Notwithstanding their open-air call
ings, the rates are 900 for males and 56.9
for females. practically three and four
times more than the average for most
workers. Some other cause than occupa-
ton probably must be sought. In all JUS
tica the phrase mad a halter must
cease Hatters and hatmakers, male and
female. are less afflicted than the average
of traders, much less than shoemakars,
tailors, carpenters. bookbinders and glove
makers, for instance.

Members of the George w. COOKE Drum
Corps of Denver were standing in front of
the Ebbitt House Wednesday evening await
ing a signal to march. There was delay
and the boys became impatient. They
broke ranks and gathered into groups to
talk to one another.
A little man of perhaps sixty years scru-
tinized the drums carefully. The music OF
the bands playing didn't interest him. He
finally approached one of the members and
said:
Better drums than We used to have in
the old days"

warmed him up.
He was silent for a minute and then he

boy replied.
He untouched the strap that held 1t in
place and handed the instrument over to
the veteran, The latter eyed it critically
and then adjusted the belt around him.
The corps boys thought they were going 20
have some fun with the old man, but they
were fooled. He grasped the sticks and
gave the head a few taps and then began a
roll Single and double drag followed and
the sticks fairly flew. He went through all
the movements with the and grace of
one much younger.
Several times he sent one or the other of
the sticks up in the air and caught it when
il came down, there being apparently no
cessation to the volume of the noise of the
dram.
The corps boys gathered about him and
looked with aStoniShment upon his drum
ming. Finally the old man loosened the
strap and passed the drum back to its
owner.

Commissioner Allen of the patent office
has a tender place in his heart for young
soldiers struggling to settle down in life
with home of their own and a little wife
to look after 1t all. This fact was demon
strated recently, when a young soldier
made his way to the patent office in search
Of something to do He had been in the
Philippines and had done good service. He
had had the fate to fall in love with a
young lady in this city, and, having an
accumulation of pay ne proposed that they
get married. He found a sympathetic lis
tener to his story, but the sweet girl has a
large portion of caution in her nature. She
thought it would be best if he would get
something to do before tying the matr-
monial knot So he set to work to get a
place.
The young soldier then began making
eyes at one of the unclasslfied places in the
patent office. One morning Commissioner

and Mr. Irelan introduced him to the com
