motherhood without health, and without
health for the mother there can be no
health for the child.
1t is of vital importance for women to
know that the health of mother and child
is in general entirely within woman's S
control The thousands of women who
have used DR.. Pierces Favorite Pre-
scription when expecting motherhood,
have testified that it made them healthy
and happy in the days of waiting made
the babys advent practically painless,
and gave them health to give their chill
dren.

saJe O, Last moncay.

MtchelPs Reply to RooseVeIt's Mes
says o. Last moncay.
Washington, Oct. 9.-4l-e following
was made IuDAc ~ the White House
| today;
Wllkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 8, 1902.-Hon.
Theodore Roosevelt, President of the
United States-Dear Sir: Hon. Car
lol d. Wright has, no doubt reported
to you the delivery OF your message 10
me last Monday, and Kay statement TO
him that ! should take your sugges-
ton under adyisement, although l did
not look upon it with favor.
Since that time | have consulted
with our district president, who concur
fully in my views.
We desire to assure again that we
feel keenly the responsibility of our
| position and the gravity of the stu.
alton, and it would give us great pleas
ure to take any action which would
bring this coal strike to an end in a
manner that would safeguard the ia
terests of our constituents.
In prOphesying that there be an Inn
mediate resumption of coal mining up
on the conditions we suggested at the
White House, we believed that we had
gone more than half way and had met
your wishes.
1t is unnecessary in this letter to
refer to the malicious assault made
upon us in the response of the coal
operators. We feel confident that yOI
must have been impressed with the fair
ness Of our proposition and the insln-
cerity of those who maligned us.
Having in mind our experience with
the coal operators in the past, We have
no reason to feel any degree of conf
dence in their willingness to do us
Justice in the future, and inasmuch
as they have refused to accept the de-
cision of a tribunal created by you,
and in as much as there is no law
through which you could enforce the
finding of the commission you sug-
gest, we respectfully decline to advise
our people to return to work simply
upon the hope that the coal operators
might be induced or forced to comply
with the recommendations of your
commission.
AS stated above, we believe that we
went more than half way in our prop
osition at Washington. We do not
fee that we should be asked to make
further sacrifice.
We appreciate your solicitude for
the people of our country who are
now and will be subjected to great suf-
fering and inconvenience by a pro-
longation of the coal strike, and we
feel that the onus of this terrible state
of affairs should be placed upon the
side which has refused to refer it to
fair and impartial investigation. l
am, respectfully, John Mitchell, presl-
dent United Mine Workers Of Ameri-
ca.

No comment was made concern
ing the letter of Mr.. Mitchell by
officials at the White House today, al
though it can be said that the presi-
dent has not exhausted all efforts in
bringing about an END to the strike.
Nothing can be learned as to the fu-
ture intentions Of the president in this
matter, and it is stated that the time
has no yet come to disclose he purpose
Of the administration. This natural
ly gives rise to speculation as to what
may be the next move as it was un-
derstood that the administration had
done about everything possible IN
bringing the operators and miners TO.
gether and in an appeal made to MF.

Mr.. A. B. GIRARDEAU, Savannah, Ga.
DEAR SIR:-SOme years ago operated float
ing saw-mill on the Savannah River. My base of
operations was being constantly changed, and my
influences. | employed over one hundred hands,
and the work was conducted as much in water as
out of it, For this reason, in August and Septem-
Der there was great loss Of time and business on
account of sickness among the workers.
My attention was then called to Johnson's Chill
and Fever Tonic and I determined to give the
medicine a trial [ procured It, and those who
were sick put this treatment, and those who
were feeling badly were at once given the Tonic.
In short time every one ofthe one hundred hands
was well and reported for duty; and from that time
on used nothing else but Johnson's Tonic, and
never had another case of fever.
Yours very truly,
J. r. LASSITER.

den rise in the temperature of one of
the magazines, which fact was report
ed to Capt. Sigsbee and entered in the
records.
Some thought this was occasioned
by spontaneous combustion in one of
the coal bunkers and which subse-
quently exploded one of the maya
zines. Such combustion is known to
be liable to occur, especially when
vessels are lying in tropical waters.
A British man-of-war had previously
been exploded by fire from spontane-
,ous combustion reaching one of the
magazines.
Now comes the mysterious explos.
ion of a Chinese warship of large
dimensions. She went to the bottom
in about the same time as the Maine,
and although the total loss of life was
not so great as on the American ship,
it was relatively higher, as only two
escaped. The Kai Chih was an up-to.
date ship, having been built in 1884,
and she resembled the Maine in many
particulars. =

They didn't pet her, nor make of her.
She was simply pining for a little
sympathy. 1t diverted her to see me
come in.
1T pleased her to be able to talk
about herself to somebody who would
listen. She gained in her own esti-
nation from having her pulse felt

to plan her day for her. Some days
I ordered her to drive in a closed
carriage. Other days 1 told her a
drive in her victoria would do her a

her to wrap up we'll. I gave her SYM

feel that she was an objects of inter-

of making of her, Of treating her with
anything besides their unvarying, un-
emotional kindness she'd never have

RECALLS TRAGIC EVENT
Loss of Chinese Man Wer Causes
of Maine Explosion
IN II N II II i II II II II III n X II II n II M IN N

Recently there has been a good deal
Of quiet discussion among naval men
concerning the explosion Of the
Maine, excited by the news which
arrived from China that the warship
kai Chin exploded and sank within
thirty second while lying in the Yang
tse-Kang river, killing $50 officers
and men.
The explosion of the Maine was
one of the most mysterious affairs
that ever happened in naval history.
Notwithstanding the report of the
board of inquiry into the manner of
her loss, there are naval officers who
maintain that the cause Of the ex-
plosion of the Maine has never been
cleared up. They say that no positive
evidence was adduced to show that
the Maine was exploded from the out
side, although the report of the board
pointed out many significant facts
which supported this contention.
On the other hand there was some
evidence tending to show that the
explosion was of interior origin.
Among this was the fact that about
half an hour before the explosion
there was an unaccountable and sud-
