WEAK WOMEN

There is nothing more distressing
in this world than the multitude of
ills and weaknesses peculiar to wo-
men. They are myraid in number
and as numerous in the Characters

they are not to be blamed for appar-

thousands are still suffering.
From the time they enter upon real
womanly life until their hair is gray
and their steps enfeebled by advanc-
ing age. they 60 through fortunes be-
side which those of the inquisition

treated with the utmost sympathy.
Kind relatives and friends do all in
their power to alleviate the suffering
and to- make them forget their pains.
For such sufferers / have a message
of comfort and a method of escape.
Electricity and Natures remedies
are my treatment. l use nothing
but natures own methods. The hor-

soUTHERNERs ON LINCOLN.
Misslssippi's Recent Action Indicative
 of Change In Sentiment.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 The director of the state historical de- partment of Mississippi recently invited trait of his father in the Hall of Fame of the new capitol building at Jackson. and MT. Lincoln promptly complied with tlle request. The incident already has caused much comment in the south, and especially the text of the directors let ter, in which lie says: 'We of the south now realize the greatness and goodness and grandness of the character of Presi- dent Abraham Lincoln, and would honor his memory. Permit me in the name of the state to invite you to place a DOT trait of President Lincoln in the new capitol of Mississippi, that 1t may sym belize his love tor his country, his de- voticn to duty and his heartfelt sym pathy for the ,scutt ern people"
 This hearty recognition of the high character and exalted patriotism of Abraham Lincoln, expressed in an offi- cial manner, has been criticized various ly iii the south, as might have been ex- peoted. There are some whose sectional hatred is unabated who bitterly assail the directors action. There are others who have not yet been able to look at the civil war from any other than a southern standpoint who doubt the wis., dom of this action. But 1t is pleasant to be assured that the great majority of thoughtful people in the south heartily approve of it. The New Orleans Times Democrat gives expression to this feeling by declaring that the directors invita- tion represents the souths Judgment of Lincoln, and that ESQ far as Americans in the south are concerned the lingering resentments of the civil war have passed out of sight and out of memory, and the living remember only the redeeming nobleness of the men who, firm in the right as God gave them to know the right directed the war from the union side"
 One of the most significant as we'll as gratifying features of the incident si the fact that the invitation can from Jef-

BASEBALL PEACE
 |S NOT IN SIGHT Warning Faction Refuse to Acs cept the Propositions HICKEY SILL HAS HOPES New League Men Want to Drop Shreveport and Little Rock and Charlie Frank and Memphis
 In Good Standing.
HICKEY SILL HAS HOPES

Memphis, Tenn, Dec. 9.-(Special)- T. J. Hickey. American association lead- CT acted as advocate of peace today be- tween representatives of new and old baseball leagues, but after an all-day session, in which the two bodies sat in different parts of the city, MT. Hickey announced tonight at midnight that an adjournment would be taken till tomor- row morning. The new league was rep resented by Attorney Ewing President Kavanaugh, Hart D. Newman of New Orleans, Abner Powell of New Orleans and J. A Trawick of Little Rock rep resented the old association.
 Caruthers Ewing, of the new league, has received all propositions and made counter offers. General Carnes is in Jackson, Miss. The old league men were submitted as an ultimatum an offer to settle if Little Rock and Shreveport are thrown out and Montgomery. and Sa- vannah substituted, divisions of fran chlses made at New Orleans, Birming- ham and Atlanta, Frank and Memphis put in good standing and all money paid out by Carnes refunded. Both sides say they see but little hope for peace.
 President Hickey, of the American as- sociation. who is attending the meeting in the interest of peace, continues to take a cheerful view of the situation. He said there was still hope of an adjust ment of the differences between the two leagues. Both factions made proposi- tions, but neither element was willing to meet the offer of the opposition.

have been my life work, and if I have contributed anything to science in the alleviation of pain and deformity, I have been amply repaid for the time and study I have given to the subject. It has been unfortunate most unfortunate, that I have not been able to give more of my time to the poor of your great cities. There are hundreds of cases, I am per- suaded, which will yield to manipulation and final cure.
 Tt has simply been impossible for me to operate upon more than a small per- centage of the cases presented. I have taken those and held clinics for the pur- pose of showing your excellent surgeons just what the method is, and have no doubt that it will be successfully prac- tised by good many of them within a short time. Congential dislocation is a technical term, but 1 believe IL is well understood by the people. It means the dislocation of the bone before birth, and is most common in the hip. The great bone in the thigh in some unaccountable manner gets pushed out of it's socket, and nature comes to it's relief and forms another socket.
 ''The limb, however, Is shortened, and locomotion is impaired. The object of the orthopedic surgeon has been to restore the bone to the proper position. There have been many methods employed.
 T was convinced early in my study of the disease that the knife should not be resorted to, and so l commenced a series of experiments, in which I used pressure to stretch the fragments and work the bone into it's proper place, and by manip- ulation break up the adhesion, if any had formed around the socket. I was quite successful in many of my experiments, and experience has demonstrated its ulti- mate success"

FOOTBALL MEN ARE BUSY

A football game between the famous Carlisle Indians and picked team from the Alabama schools has been practically arranged to be played in this city De- cember IS.
 The following telegram was receved yesterday:
 New Orleans, La, December 8. "P. Sid Jones, T. P A, L. & N. R. R.,
 Birmingham. Ala:
 "See w. c. Pickens and ascertain if he can arragne game between Carlisle Indians and some local football team for 18th or 22d. Four hundred dollars guar antee required. U. K. RIDGLEY.''
 MT. Pickens immediately upon notif1ca- tion wired to the Indians accepting their terms on the provso that if there was rain on the 18th the game will be played on the next day
 The selection of a team has begun al- ready. and the list so far contains the following well-known players: Allison and Elmer of Auburn, Forman and Stick ney of the University, and probably Wyatt for quarter back; Mitcham and Bulger. two old Auburn play CTS, and Big Gwin, who is at present coaching the Howard college team.

TIber To Give Up It's Treasures.

From Harper's Weekly. ...s#ss
 ,-If public expectations are realized the
 museums of Rome and possibly elsewhere
 will shortly be enriched by the addition
 to their stores of curios of sundry arti-
 cles of value which for ages have lain
 hidden beneath the muddy bed of ola
 Father Tiber. The authorities of the Eternal City have granted permission to Prof Giro Nispilandi to make a thorough search of the Tiber for the loot that that river has in immemorial times wrenched from the citizens of the Roman capital These should be, if the tales that have come down to us from the remote past are reliable, of almost priceless value, although 1t may very we'll happen that the centuries that have gone by since the Romans cast their greatest treasures into the river as offerings to the gods have inflicted great damage upon them. In any event the effort Professor Nispilandl proposes to make is distinctly worth while, and promises greater rewards than those of the fortune seekers who dredge suspected waters In search of pirate treasure When one remembers the stories of tribute to the yellow waters Of this river of antiquity; how consistently, in the days when Jupiter and the other gods of Roman mythology ruled supreme the people held to the idea that they could be .appeased only by the dumping of tons of beautiful things into the river, just as some. of our less enlightened cit izens of New York cast less desirable arr ticles into the Hudson; how early Christ fans cast innumerable and costly symbols of the idolatry of their predecessors into these same depths, and how again the Tiberian current swept into it's maw the arms and armor of the thousands of war riors who fougth the strenuous battles of ancient times upon her banks-we can not but feel that herein lies graft of wondrous richness for those who are seeking to redeem them from their long oblivion.

The guess editor had imagined that hts trials and tribulations were unsurpassed this week until he took a walk around a block yesterday afternoon. He was hailed and stopped exactly seventeen times by seventeen different bald-headed men and listened gleefully to beautiful little tale of. misery from each of them.
 One of them. particularly claimed that if The Age-Herald continued to run the cut of the bald-headed man longer. he would be compelled to leave town and, in fact leave the state. He said that his place of business was "throngeds almost each by people who insisted that he about face'' and show the back of his head. He added that 1t was interfering with his private business and would The Age-Herald make a statement that 1t was not him. The guess editor promised that 1t would and The Age-Herald hereby oertifies that 1t Is not him.

ferson Davis own state, the second state that adopted a secession ordinance, where, consequently, the sectional feel ing might have been expected to be most bitter. If that state can officially and cordially recognize not alone the personal worth of Abraham Lincoln but his love of country and his services for 1t, there certainly should be no doubt of the esti- nation in which he is held in other states of that section. It is gratifying to re- member that while the people of Missis- sippi have honored the memory of Lin coin by hanging his portrait upon the walls of their capitol, the people of New York have honored the memory of Lee by inscribing his name in their Hall of Fame
