WHAT CUTICURA
DOES FOR WOMEN

Too much stress cannot be placed
on the great value of Cuticura Soap,
Ointment, and Pills in the andsep-
tic cleansing of the mucous sur
faces, and of the blood and circulating
I. fluids, thus affording pure, sweet, and
economical local and constitutional
treatment for weakening alterations,
inAammations, itchings, irritations,
relaxations, displacements, pains, and
Irregularities peculiar to females.
Hence the Cuticura remedies have q
wonderful influence in restoring
health, strength, and beauty to weary
women, who have been prematureiy
aged and invalided by these distress
ing ailments, as well as such sympa-
thetic affections as anemia, chlorosis,
hysteria, and nervousness.
Women from the very first have
fully appreciated the purity and sweet
ness, the power to afford immediate
relief, the certainty of speedy and
permanent cure, the absolute safety
and great economy which have made
Cuticura the standard humour rem
edy of the civilized world

Attempted to Come Down on a

Feet and Chung to the
Border.
WAS 4 HAIR-BREADrH ESCAPE.

Frank iseman. "a stage hand at the
Kentucky theatre had "leap for
life last night that was wholly UNI
expected and In no wise enjoyed. He
is not thinking of pulling OFF his
stunt for so much per week. In fact.
he probably could not be paid enough
to repeat the performance.
Iseman had been up In the loft
working the scenery. The loft over
the stage is well strung with
ropes attached to which are weights
for manipulating the drops. Often
the stage hands. to save a tedious
climb down the ladders. seize one
end of the ropes and come down to
the stage on 1T, the weight making
the descent slow and without dam
gsq. Iseman attempted to do this.
He seized the rope. let go,-and went.
1t happened to be loose rope, and
he plunged down with every prospect
of hitting the stage with a louder
thud than any villain in a play ever
produced.
Fortunately he hit the borders,
Just above the stage and hung on.
His companions saw his predicament
and hastily put mattress under him,
and he swung off and lit on It. none
the worse for his perilous descent.
His fall was between thirty ara
eighty feet. according to the person
who is telling it. Iseman says he
didn't have time TO measure II. but
that 1t was far enough.

Chicago. Oct. 26.-Twenty-five po-
licemen and goo students of the Chi
cago College OF Dental Surgery. en-
gagged in fierce fight yesterday
afternoon and before order had been
restored fifteen students were arrest
ed.
At one point during the fight pn-
lice were forced to fire several shots
over the heads of the students to
scare the latter back
The freshmen and junior classes
OF the institution met in their an
hual class rush and the battle be-
came so desperate that riot call
was sent IN. When the police ar
rived the battle between the students
had been in progress half an hour,
and had blocked all the street cars
and wagon traffic.
The students who were in thickest
OF the fight joined forces as soon as
they saw the approach of the patrol
wagon and the blue coats were pelt-
ed from all sides with stones and
bad vegetables. while water was
poured on them by students from up
per floors of the college.
The police were getting decidedly
the worst of the battle when they
drew their revolvers and fred sew
eral Shots
This brought the students to a
halt and before they could collect
themselves the police were upon
them with their clubs.
This sort of treatment soon
brought the students TO their senses
and they ran in all directions, but the
police succeeded in making fifteen
captures.
All students bore signs of the con
fiict in their rent garments and a
number of them suffered severe cuts
and bruises about their heads and
faces from punishment administered
by the police.
Investigation has been begun by
the faculty and fling leaders of the
disturbance will be punished.

United States Minister to See Castro
and Point Out to Him His
Many Mistakes.
MAY sTAvE OFF THE TROUBLE.

Washington, Oct 26.--Thc United
has offered its good Offices in the set
tlement of the troubles between Ven
ezuela and France. This action has
been most pleasing to the French
government, which accepts it in the
spirit In which 1t is rendered.
The first step in the direction of a
peace settlement has been taken by
Minister Russell, who has made an
engagement with President Castro
and who will talk over the troubles
between his government and that OF
the French. 1t is expected that his
efforts will be successful and that the
French will abandon their measures
Tor coercion.
The conclusion of the United States
30 offer good offices was the direct re-
suit OF deliberate policy on the part
of the United States--a policy that
has beem determined upon by Presi-
dent Roosevelt and which Will be fol-
lowed out until the close of his ad-
ministration unless positive check
Is given to 1t by the United States
senate in some formal way. IL is
one in line with that followed by the
administration in Santo Domingo and
in line with the Roosevelt policy in
the former troubles in Venezuela.
Presidsnt Roosevelt said in one of his
messages 10 the senate that In our
relations with the republics 10 the
south of us there were but two
courses open. One was the virtual
abandonment of the Monroe doctrine
and in Indifferent attitude on the part
of this government toward the steps
taken by foreign governments in pro-
grams of coercion against republics
to the south of us who were guilty of
actual or alleged wrongs against for
eign powers; the other way was to
accept the Monros doctrine principle,
with all of the responsibility that its
full acceptance and maintenance in
volyed. He did not mean even the
shadow of a proteetorate over them.
but he did mean that when they com
mitted grave wrong it was either
up to us to see that the wrong was
righted or that our good Offices as an
adviser and mediator were given for
a solution of the differences. This
latter is exactly the position we have
now assumed in Venezuela
We did the same thing on Santo
Domingo, where we stepped in to
provide means of satisfying the for
eign debt of Santo Domingo when
her creditors became camorous. We
saw chat France had cause for just
quarrel with Venezuela and that she
was entitled to satisfaction. She
seemed in no fair way to secure II
by peaceful means. and we now of
fer to see what we can do in this di-
rection.

by enthusiastic demonstrations OF

people.
While in Little Rock the president
delivered two speeches in one OF
whsch he denounced lynching and in
doing so elected hearty applause.
After inspecting Fort Logan
whence the party was escorted from

paired to the special train al the Rock

The Presidents difference to lynch
law was as follows:
THE wonst enemy Of the negro
race Is the negro criminal and above
all the criminal of the hideous type
so often 'hideously avenged. Every
reputable colo ed man owes a duty
to himself and his race TO hunt down
that criminal. Now as TO the whita
man $ side: Now to avenge one hid
oous crime by another is to reduce
the average to the bss;ial Level. An
other which makes this lynch law 50
abhorrent is that three-fourths the
crimes for which II is invoked are for
othe;s than against tbs women of the
country, Governor, you and I and
all others in authority owe It TO oui
people to drive out the reproacIh and
menace of lynch law in the United

Now.
The Equitable Issues Some Interest,"
Ing Figures On Its Business
Lately.
WHAT MCLINTOCK HAS TO SAY.

New York, Oct. 26.-More start
ling than testimony before the legis-
lative committee on investigating the
methods OF insurance companies, was
announcement by President McCurdy
of the Mutual Life, that a committee
of board trustees of his company had
betn appointed to investigate the
company and its methods
Another interesting developmtnt
In insurance matters was the state
ment issued by President Morton of
the Equitable Life, showing the re-
ceipts of that company for the nine
months of this year exceeded the ex-
penditures by $16,723.197, an in
crease of over $50O,0OO compared
with the same period last year. Re
ceipts from premiums on policies for
the third quarter this year were over
81 900, goo less than 1904. Expcns-
es of the third quarter this year were
$S39, 913less than last year, but for
the first six months there was an In
crease over last year of $424,943.
After the entire day had been Civ
en- over to examination of Emory Me-
Clintock, actuary of the, Mutual Life
and read of column after column of
figures the legislative committee adj
journed until November Sth.
The testimony of McClintock was
of technical nature. A number of
his explanations brought out the fact
that his ideas we're in many respects
at variance with the established meth
DDS of insurance companies and that
Of his own company in particular
This was especially apparent when
the subject of deferred dividends pol
icies were being inquired into. tIe
said word deferred was ambiguous
and misleading. as It implied that
dividends were accommodating or were
paid at end of each year..
The company, ne said. reserved the
right when 1t wrote a policy to say
what amount should be apportioned
at the end of each dividend period.
McClintock also said that he was
strongly in favor of limiting the
amount OF business company should
write. He said an attempt had been
made TO come to an agreement with
the New York Life and the Equita-
bic Life to limit the amount of bust
ness done by each company to one
billion dollars This was finally in
creased to 81 500. 900 900, but James
II. Hyde of the Equitable first do
clined TO enter the agreement and
then George w. Perkins, of the New
York Life. objected. Hyde's reason
was his ambition to make the Equita-
BILE the largest Insurance company in
the world.
McClintock thought law limiting
the amount of business would be a
good thing. These views are con-
trary to those expressed by Presi-
dent McCurdy of the Mutual when he
was on the stand. McCurdy did not
think any company's business shoull
be limited even at the point when
that business failed to be profitable
to the company.
McClintock thought law compell-
Ing declaration of dividends at stat
ed periods would be unwise.
