The Watchword Of Women.

ModcSty is Il wOman'S WatchwOri.
Whatever threatens her delicate sense Of
modcsty. frightcnS her. For this reason
many woman permits diseases Of the
delicate womanly organs to become ag-
Gravatcd because she cannot bring her
self to submit to the ordeal of unplcas-
ant qucstionings, offensive examinations.
and obnoxious local treatments, which
some physicians find necessary. Doubt
less thousands of the women who have
taken advantage Of DR.. Piercc's offer of
free consultation by letter, have been led
to do so by the escape thus offered from
Il treatment rcpugnant TO modesty. Any
sick woman may write to DIR. Pierce.
Buffalo, \. V, in perfect confidence; all
letters being treated as strictly private
and sacredly confidential, and all answers
being sent in plain envelopes with no

London. Dec. 29.-The complete
assembly by rebels under the leader.
ship OF the pretender to the throne,
which was reported Dec. 23, has been
officially confirmed. The imperial
forces abandoned their guns, rif1es, am
munition, tents and beasts OF burden
and fed precipitately to Fee.
The Times publishes dispatch
from Tangier, dated Dec. 27 In which
its correspondent says: 81 got away
from Fez just in time. ! arrived here
this morning with the first news OF the
disaster. The rebels are reported to
be marching on Fez, which is incapa'
BILE OF defense for more than a few
days. The population will remain
loyal only as long as the sultan can
protect and feed them A few days OF
siege means starvation. The sultan
may attempt to escape, but In that
case the populace will recognize the
pretender."
On Dec. %. 10000 Shereefian troops
commanded by a brother OF the sui
tan's minister OF war, received orders
to concentrate and take the offensive
against the pretender at Taxa. Before
the Shereefans moved upon him. the
pretender attacked them with large
bodies of cavalry. The imperial army
was surrounded, completely routed
and fed in disorder towards Fez, aban.
doning all material of war. The first
fugitives arrived at FeZ on the morn.
ing of Dec "a. The gates of Fez at
present are shut. Shops there are
closed and the population Is greatly
excited but there has been no disos
der. The European colony Of FeZ, EN-
bodying about 500 persons, is taking
no steps to leave the town and appears
to be satisfied that 1t is In no imml.
nent danger, although the situation Is
regarded as serious. It Is said that
the pretender's followers have re.
ceived numerous additions since his
success. The population of Fez is re.
ported to be generally hostile to the
sultan and ready to acclaim any pre-.
tender who will guarantee the town
from pillage. No details Of the i'm.
perial losses have yet been received
here, but it is rumored that 1000 OF
the sultan's soldiers were killed or
wounded.

FINDS RACE OF BLACK JEWS.
English Explorer in Australia Reports
STRANGE Story.

London, Dec. 29.-The current num-
Der OF the Jewish Chronicle, the most
influential organ OF the race in En-
gland, publishes an amazing account
by Sidney Klein Of the discovery Of a
tribe of black Jews in the interior Of
western Australia. The tribe offered
burnt offerings of goats and birds, but
never hunted food on Saturdays,
which they observed as a sacred holi-
day, when they conducted their re-
ligious exercises. Although pigs ran
wild, they did not partake OF the flesh
of swine, and ate only fish having
fms, and scales. Mr.. Klein showed
them a Hebrew prayer book, a word
or two Of which they understood. One
old man said it was an extinct Ian
guage which their forefathers used to
speak. He could read parts of It, The
men of this peculiar tribe married only
women Of their own race, and kept
strictly aloof from the other blacks.
In Mr.. Klein's opinion they were un-
doubtedly Jews.
