The recent convention of the La- dies of the Maccabees of the World in Detroit has aroused public inter- est in this popular fraternal benefit association to an extent quite unus- ual in the annals of such societies, which are wont to move along quiet ly, carrying on their gigantic busi- ness and handling yearly immense sums of money unthought of by the general public.
 This institution is not only com- posed entirely of women as to mem- bers, but was founded and built up by women, has always been officered and managed by women, and that it's financial investments in bonds and other securities, amouting to over $8O0,O00, are under the sole direction of a board of five trustees.
 The Order of the Ladies |of the Maccabees of the World greatly the outgrowth of the need for such an opportunity for women to assist in protecting their homes and their dear ones, and to its timeliness is largely due its success.
 There are over 123,00O members carrying life benefits in the order, 8 TOTal DTOLeCIlOu lOLSCNOA WI Ps,t,B7 100000 making the Ladies of the Maccabees of the World the greatest financial institution among. women of modern times. The society is now in operation in nearly every state of the union and the provinces of Can- ada. and has at its recent convention taken up the project of becoming es- tablished in England and in contin- ental Europe also.
 Starting out without dollar in it's treasury, and without a member if is now one of the most stable of the fraternal beneficiary societies, with n balance of $51,440 in its gen. eral fund and no unpaid debts, and with the splendid emergency fund of $S3S, ,7S7 carefully invested in gov- ernment and municipal bonds.
 Miss Carrie A. Drake, state com mander of the l.. o. T. NJ, will in the near future hold an open meeting for the benefit of Eagle hive and their friends who might be interested in this gigantic organization. Miss Drake is a woman of great executive ability and marked personality, and much of the success attained by the Ladies of the NIaccabees in Connec- ticut is largely due to her untirins efforts

gan. She is "A years old. She is of
the opinion that her son would have
preferred to remain a senator instead
Of becoming the nominee for vice pres
dent.
II was in Washington last winter
at his home" she said, and many
men came to see him in regard to
his being a candidate for vice presl-
dent. / am, of course. very proud
that he should have been nominated
and particularly since there was such
a strong demand for him that he could
hardly do otherwise than accept.
think the position he now has is one
of the most honorable that u man
can have in politics. There is a great
deal of influence and dignity about
the Senate, and a great many oppor-
tunities to do good"

Tomato message from her son in less
than an hour after the convention adj
journed this afternoon.

A great picture of the President was
carried about through the hall 1t was
followed by a banner carried by the
Oregon delegation, bearing the words ::
First gun, Oregon. 23,804. Roosevelt.
Forty per cent. Republican gain.
When Senator Fairbanks had been
nominated for Vice President there was
no dimlnution in the demonstration.
Voices were hoarse, but the noise for
the choice was just as unanimous as
it was in filing the first place on the
ticket
Speaker Cannon made eleven
speeches during the day, each few
crisp, original sentences. introducing
the eleven orators. His audience never
tired of watching or of hearing him.
IIe was sauce to the proceedings.
His jerky walk to and from the penin-
sula rostrum that projected into the
audience amused every one He kept
a tight hold on the right hand of each
speaker with his right hand and swung
the gavel in his left The wide sweep
of the heavy mallet rather terrified
members of the press, who were within
range, for sometimes their heads es-
capped by not more than an inch.
While Speaker Cannon spoke his
whole body shook, his left arm made
full circles, both legs vibrated and even
his toes could be seen working UP and
down in his shoes. His control of the

PLAT AND UNDERWOOD
SUED FOR $4,000, 900.

New York Senator Heard About II,
Departed, but Was Served.
Chicago, June 23.-United States
Senator Thomas c. Plat of New York
and j. Plat Underwood of Chicago
We're made defendants in 100000
damage suit filed here to-day by James
Donovan, a Chicago attorney who is
the surviving member of the lumber
firm of Donovan & Co., a corpora
ton doing business in Wisconsin and
Michigan.
Donovan asserts that Plat and I'm
derwood, who are officials of the
Tioga Manufacturing Company, cut
SO. 000, 900 worth OF timber from Dono-
vans lands in Wisconsin and Michi-
gan when they had no title to the
land.
After the praecipe in the case was
filed Donovan and a deputy sheriff
went to the Coliseum, where the Re-
publican National Convention was in
session, to serve the summons on
Senator Plat. In the meantime Sen
ator Platt had heard of the legal pro-
ceedings, and had left for his hotel
before the sheriff and Donovan ar
rived at the Coliseum. The two then
turned around and came back to the
Auditorium Hotel where. after a wait
of nearly an hour, they gained admit
lance to Senator Platt's room and the
summons was served.
When seen tonight Mr.. Underwood
declared that Donovan's talk of illegal
cutting of timber on his land by the
Tioga Company was nonsense.

within four walls. A great PHILOSOPHERS
has said, THE Creator will forgive our
sins, but we ourselves muGt settle for
our plumbers" And how true this is
No blunders require such severe toll as
those we commit against our physical
well-being. Wet feet, irregular meals,
late hours, over work or over play all
contribute to the general disturbance.
There is no sufficient reason why such
vast proportion of our women should
suffer as they do from female trouble.
DIR. r. v. Pierce long ago appreciated
the amount of avoidable suffering
which exists, and he prepared suit
able medicine, in the form of his g Fa-
vorite Prescription" which should be
especially adapted to the needs OF
women. It does not cure all diseases,
nor is it recommended for them, but in
the case of womanly weakness of any
sort it is wonderful cure. 1t balances
the circulation, stopping weakening
drains and pelvic congestion, and gives
tone and vigor to the organs. 1t should
be in every home, and win prevent
much suffering and save many doctor
| bills. DR.. Pierce has devoted over
forty years to the study of woman's ills
and their treatment, and stands to-day
as Americas formost specialist in
! woman's diseases, an impregnable po-
v sition, won as it was by merit alone.
A suffering woman may appreciate
sympathy, but what she needs is advice
and treatment to restore her to health
again, and the hundreds of grateful
women who write to DR.. Pierce daily
give ample testimony that his advice
will do all that he claims.
Not every woman can be a trained
nurse, and fortunately many women
are never called upon to care for the
sick, but every woman should be able
to do so should the occasion arise. She
should above all else be able to care
for her own body, and there is no
better guide and instructor in medical
subjects than DIR. Pierce's Common
Sense Medical Adviser, which will be
sent free to any one who sends him 81
cents to pay postage, at Buffalo, N. Y.
This great work is a complete treatise
in family medicine and right living,
and should be in every home. DIR.
Pierce also invites every sick and ailing
woman to write him personal let
ter, telling their trouble fully, and he
will give the case careful attention and
reply promptly. Many a woman has
accepted this offer of free advice TO her
: great advantage.
Backed up by over a third of CEN
fury of remarkable and uniform cures,

, the diseases and weaknesses peculiar to
, women ever attained, the proprietors

A Noble Profession.
EXPERIENCES OF A TRAINED NURSE,

XXT0MANS sympathy for the sick
w and afflicted is real and genu-
w inc, and for this reason her
services in the sickroom are of
the most valuable sort. Her cooling
hand has eased many fever flushed
brow, and her keen and ready instincts
have tided many patient over a
dangerous crisis. But the duties of a
trained nurse are of very exciting
nature, and are big drain on body
and mind. Lifting and carrying heavy
loads, night duties, and the response
bility of giving medicines and treat
ment are a task fit only for the strong
est woman to undergo. There are few
professions which require such an
active and well trained mind, together
with so much hard manual labor. 1t
is not strange, and indeed is only
fitting, that no occupation open to
women is more highly thought of
than that of a trained nurse. Devoting
herself to the alienation of suffering
she has to practice patience, skill and
a high order of intelligence in many
emergencies. Coming in contact with
the treatment of illness on every hand
she notes the result of medicines in
the diseases Of women and can speak
intelligently of what is best for women
in those delicate diseases so prevalent
among women. This experience OF
Mrs. Beard is therefore of interest to all
women:
