New York, May 26.-The fact that
E. H. Hartman has definitely aban-
doned his claim to control Of the
titude Of impressions in speculative
circles here, and it depends upon the
clique to which one goes which i'm
preston one gets.
Mr.. Harrimans friends smile when
it is stated that E. H. Hartman has
abandoned his attempt to get control
of Northern Pacific. They say he has
abandoned his attempt to prove him
self entitled to get control from Hill
and Northern Securities, but they say
most decidedly that this abandonment
does not mean that he has given up
his idea Of owning that road in the
long run,
contrary, said during the trial at New
ark:
"Mr. Hartman realizes that from
the moment he handed over his stock
to the Northern Securities company
he ceased to hold control, and that
from that moment his chance of ever
getting control was past. If you want
proof that Hill and Morgan control
Northern Securities, you will find it
in the fact that outside Of the $S2,-3
| 100000 of stock that the Hartman
| interests hold, only about $15,O00,000,
or per cent did not vote for the
| Hill plan when 1t was proposed, and
not a share voted against it. I do not
mean that actual corporate control
will rest in the hands Of Mr.. Hill and
Mr.. Morgan. I do mean that when
they call for proxies they will get
| them.
'The ultimate result Of all these
suits and all this controversy, is go
| ing to be return to sound principles
| of finance and business on all the
| lines and in all the companies con-
| cerned. They have got to econom1ze
! as they have not economical for
years. There is no room in the north
| west for the kind Of rivalry that costs
| money. There will be none of 1t.
There Is no chance Of its coming as
a result Of this suit, or these suits.
People are likely to exaggerate the
antagonism between Mr.. Hill and Mr..
Hartman. It would surprise most
people If they knew that these two
men meet on the most friendly terms
at all times. I know they do
Outside Of these rather definite
statements there is a host of rumors.
It has been announced that Mr.. Har-
riman will take over the management
Of the Northern Pacific, Mr.. Hill to
keep Burlington. Mr.. Hill character
lied this as "brakesmans news"
The fact appears to be that 3. HI

how healthy and strong woman may
be, she cannot use "Favorite Prescrip-
ton" as a preparative for maternity
without gain of health and comfort.
But it is the women who are not strong
who best appreciate the great benefits
received from the use of "Favorite Pre-
scription." For one thing its use makes
the baby's advent practically painless.
It has in many cases reduced days of
suffering to few brief hours. It has
changed the period of anxiety and
struggle into a time Of ease and
comfort.
The benefits of DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription do not begin with the
baby's coming, nor do they end there.
1t cures or prevents the nausea from
which so many expectant mothers suffer.
It nourishes the nerves and strengthens
them, promotes healthy appetite, and
keeps the mother physically strong and
mentally cheerful. After the baby's
coming the use of wFavofite Prescrip-
ton" will contribute to quick conva-
1escence. It is the best of tonics and
nervines, giving real strength which no
mere stimulant can give. The mistake
of using alcoholic beverages to build up
the mothers strength and to increase
the bahy's nutrition is constantly being
pointed ont by physicians. DR.. PIERCE
Favorite Prescription contains no alcohol
and is free from all narcotics. It gives
strength to the mother and increases the
flow of the nutritive secretions on which
the baby is fed, and on the healthfulness
of which his growth depends.

G. M. Levey, assistant to the pres

St. Paul for his first trip to his for

said: II never thought the western

"But these great resources and in

MOTHER AND BABE.
All Wish Them Well.

TYHE trying ordsals of maternity
are usually compensated for by
II the beautiful little cherub that
comes to make home bright and
happy. The first years Of life are the
period of greatest sickness and the high
eat death rate. The death rate between
birth and one year in the cities in SUM
rler Is often as high as eighty per cent.
IT is due to causes that could be avoided.
Most young mothers find themselves
with their first baby in their arms with
little knowledge of how 1t ought to be
cared for. Fortunate is the babe born
to healthy, happy, sensible mother,
who welcomes its arrival and gives up
her life and her all for the time being to
motherhood. As a mother, her duty and
her instinct should teach her to take
great care Of herself previous to baby's
coming. The state of her health and
all her habits of life, eating, drinking,
sleeping and exercise, should be her
constant care, as we'll as impulses and
emotions of fear, anger, Jealousy, etc.
should be carefully guarded against.
The mother, young or old, should make
the best of her lot If she can be in the
country, close to nature, where she can
see the beautiful fields and trees, it
would be ideal for her repose of mind.
No prospective mother should be with
out some good doctor book, such as the
wCommon Sense Medical Adviser" ed
tied and published by R. v. Pierce,
M. D., that any one can obtain by send
Ing thirty-one one-cent stamps for the
c1oth-bound edition, to DR.. R. v. Pierce,
Buffalo, N. Y. This gives good advice
for women, young OF old, and for every
one In all conditions of life. In this
book DR.. Pierce advises that care should
be taken to keep the liver active, and
eat only the kind of food that you have
desire for. He also advises midday
nap and gentle exercise. If the mothe1
wants to be strong and prepared fol
that most trying ordeal she should
take womanly tonic which DR.. Pierce
has prescribed for women in such con
dition, called DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription.
The reason why so many women sink
under the strain of motherhood is be
cause they are unprepared. Is prepare

Artificial pumice is made in guam

be valuable substitute for the genu-i

kinds, differing from each other in re-
gard to hardness and grain us follows:
grain, particularly useful in the leath-
err, wax cloth, felt and wool industries;
~ hard and soft kind, with medium
coarse grain, suited TO stucco workers
and sculptors and particularly useful
for polishing wood before 1t is painted;
49, a soft, tine-grained stone for the
white and dry polish of wood and for
tin goods; ~ one of medium hardness
with fine grain, for giving the wood
n surface for an oil polish; 10 hard,
fine-grained one for working metals
and stones, and especially photographic
stones, and finally pumicc stones with
a very fine grain. These artificial
stones are used in pretty much the
same way as those of volcanic origin
For giving smooth surface to wood

The astounding information is given
in the report Of the auditor of the
Postoftice Department that nearly $780,
000,000 is paid the railroads for trans
porting the mails without any vouch-
crs showing the service rendered or
the weight carried or any details of
the transaction except that SO much
money Is due some corporation. Is 1t
any worder that under such a loose
system the amount paid the railroads
constantly aud largely increase? How
much graft there is in these secret
transactions between the postoflice and
the railroads has never been discover
ed; but evidence has been reproduced
in Congress that the rental of tie
postal cars cost double each year the
price at which new cars could he p,lr-
chased. The weight of the mails car
ricd and the system of weighing is on
its face padded in the interests of the
railroads. Tho Postmaster General in
his report just published says that the
increased cost for tile group of States
known rs the Middle Nest is 1895 per
cent and yet the growth of the post
office business for the whole country is
less than 0 per cent. The Claim that
tile smaller gratis in the Postofiice De-
partment have been investigated while
the greater ones have not been un-
earthed, seems to be proven from the
reports of the government officers who
| know the facts aud cannot entirely
conceal them.

The Panama usurpa,ion.

There is no doubt that some of these
United States, especially those border
ing on the Gulf of Mexico, are extreme
ly anxious for the ratification of the
Panama treaty. The business men of
those States think their material inter
ests will be much improved with the
canal an accomplished fact. and they
are apparently willing that the coup
d'etat of President Roosevelt in seiz-
ing the isthmus shall be cOndoned,
even. if great wrong has been COM
mitted. In thus encouraging interna-

emn treaty with a sister republic, those
who IRE arguing the contamination of
the iniquity may well pause and in
quire if their OK may not be the next
to be gored.
If the President of the United States
is allowed to set aside treaties, he may
soon override the constitution, If the
occasion arises to profit politically by
so doing, and the business interests of
