SIXTH REGIMENT rs
TO HAVE NEW RIFLES

Gen. Clendenin, commanding the Sd
brigade l. y. g., met Col. Foster of
the 9th and Col. Fisher of the Sd in
Chicago this week and decided that
the 9th shall be outfittcd with the
new Krag-Jorgensen rifles which the
government is to supply three reg
iments of the guard. The standing
and appearance of the two regiments
was talked of, and il was decided
that as there was no difference be-
tween them in such things, the mat
ter would have to be settled by
chance, and straws were drawn. Civ

The new arms for this regiment are
a portion of the donation of the gov

Springfield rifles now in use. Only

for at present.

refusal to hear Admiral SIMPSONS

clusion the majority of the court acted
with entire propriety in not express
ing any opinion on these points. The
matter has, however, been raised by
the president of the court. Moreover.
ii is the point upon which Admiral
Schley in his appeal lays most stress,
and which he especially asks me to
consider.
II have therefore carefully investi-
gated this matter also, and have in
formed myself upon it from the best
sources of information at my COM
mand. The appeal of Admiral Schley
to me is in effect an appeal
from the action of President McKin-
ley three years ago. when he sent in
the recommendations for promotion
for the various officers connected with
the Santiago squadron. basing these
recommendations upon his estimate Of
the credit to which the officers were
respectively entitled.

Whatever truth there may be IN the
Dry, it forcibly illustrates the career of
any a woman who has followed the
irsh FIRE Of love in the belief that it led
10 home and comfort and found herself
at last exhausted and deceived.
IT'S BITTER LESSON
learned by many woman who thought
love all-suficient, that love alone cannot
be the foundation of the home. 1t needs
health Strange as il may seem the
beautiful loving woman who IS weak
may lose the love of the husband for
whom she broke all home ties, while OH
the other hand a woman who has no
greater dover than robust health may
win and hold the love of her husband
past all possibility OF loss. The first re-
quisite OF marriage is health. The wife's
first necessity is health. Health must
be the mothers or she will know no
happiness in her children. What makes
ill-health so common among women?
Why do they suffer with headache, back
ache and pains past description? These
sufferings are in general caused by dis
ease of the delicate womanly organs, and
they are in general durable by the use of
