improving fast. I still continue to recom- mend Wine of Cardm and Thedford's Black -Draught."
 If you are suffering woman we would say to you that Wine of Cardui seldom fails to completely cure any case of female ills. We say emphatically, it never fails to benefit. Over 100000 women have been cured by Wine of Cardui. Every day hundreds of sufferers are writing to our Ladies Advisory Department. The letters are opened by persons competent to give advice. Mrs. Jones was cured by follow ing the advice which was freely given her by the Ladies Advisory Department. Miss Owens and Miss Daulton were cured with out advice by just buying s1.o0 bottle of Wine of Cardui from their druggists and taking this great medicine in the privacy of their homes. No doctors examination, treatment or advice is necessary. You have read what these three cured women have written. Is this not enough to lead you to determine to be rid of suffering?

THE GIFT OF THE MASTS
HoBsoN's NAME IS OMITTED
 FROM THE BILL.
Intimated That the Members of the Committee Did Not Care to Compliment the Hero
 of the Werrimac.

Washington, April 11.-tSpeciaL) )-The Committee on Naval Affairs in the House of Representatives. graciously donated to the State of Alabama this week the two masts taken from captured Spanish bat tieships, but at the same time made significant side-swipe at Alabama's most
 famous living son. captain Richmond Pearson Hobson. Captain Hobson took two masts from the sunken ships, one in
 Santiago narbor and tne other Tn Manila
 bay and he started the movement to have
 them shipped to Montgomery to be used
 as a f1ag-pole in the old Capitol grounds,
 name from the bill by which the State
 comes into the possession of the price,
 less relics.
 One of the masts is from the Don Juan
 d'Austria. ana 1t still bears the marks
 of Dewey's shells. The other is from the
 Almirante Oqucndo and Schley's victory
 Is recalled bS the ragged shell marks on
 It's sides. When the United States gov
 ernment decided to have these two ves-
 seis raised Captain Hobson was selected
 as the naval engineer to superintend the
 work. ago. After this task was completed ns
 journeyed to the other side of the world snd raised the wreck of the Don Juan
 d Austria. Remembering his native statt he laid aside bit of each wreck as 2 gift to her. This gift, the spars. ne snip' ned 10 the Untteu States and. With the consent of the Navy Department, for. warded them on to Montgo.nery when ne reached his native land again. The spars were not yet the property oi the State. They were merely loaned by the Navy Department. But Congressman Wiley. of the Montgomery District. iri- trod,,ced a bill at the beginning Of the session, giving the title to Alabama. The bill was framed in these words:
 Be it enacted. etc., that the lower | mast taken by Captain Richmond Pear son Habson of the United States nav5 | from the captured Spanish battiesnii | Don Juan de Austria, at Manila, and tht I topmast from the Almirante OQuendo, a' Santiago de Cuba, be. and the Nsame art hereby donated by the United States tt | the State of Alabama.
 In reporting the bill favorably 10 ths | House the Naval Committe struck ou i the words ''by Captain Richmond Pear | son Hobson' and thus deprived the here | of the distinction which would have beer | his had his name been left in the bill l Why the committee did this Is no | known. Perhaps they were influenced b, | the red tape rules of the Navy Depart | ment, Maybe too. they, had heard O l Hobson's aspirations to run for Con | gpess and did not want to give him tn | little boost that mention Of his nam' l would afford
 The State of Alabama will get a clea | title to the masts, at any rate. The. l have already been placed in the Capito | yard and have attracted. considerable at | tention from visitors.

L. & MS ACTIVITY.
Spencer Denies That >he Southern is
 After the Road

New York April 1.-L. and N. was the feature of today's stock market as it was yestefday evening but today the rumors that a corner had been es- tablished to squeeze shorts gave way to A report that the stock was being bought in order to secure control of the com pany The corner theory for the advance in the shares was dissipated by state ment from President Keppler of the Stock F,xchange to the effect that he had been assured that there was no intention to corner the l.. and N. stock, and that the stock would be available to borrowers.
 Nothing was apparent today beyond heavy transactions in the stock to indi- date that any one was buying for control and nothing could be learned as to the identity of the supposed purchasers ex- cept that the speculative world connected the movements of the stock within the last two or three days with the an- nouncement made on Monday by the L. and N directors that the company had acquired a majority interest In the AL lanta. Knoxville and Northern Railroad which. when completed, will run from
 Knoxville to Jellico.
 The statement was made at that time that this purchase put the l.. and N. road into competition with the Southern Railway between Cincinnati, Knoxville
 and Atlanta. The Southern is a property
 with which J. P. Morgan & Co. are con
 nected. and today it was reported thai
 Southern interests desired a controlling
 interest in L. and N These reports however, were denied by Samuel Spencer President of the Southern. who said he knew nothing of this intention on the part of his road.
 The trading in the stock all day was very active. It opened at 1lS. yesterdays close, sold down to 1874. and then ad yanccd to I225s. after which 1t receded again to 120 3-s In the afternoon the stock sold back to 11Sts, rose to 12O%. re acted to 1l9it and closed at 119b.
