Thousands of American women, how

robs menstruation of it's terrors.
Miss Irene Crosby, of 313 Charlton
Street East Savannah. Ga, writes:
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound

great benefit to me, curing me of irregular

He and his two sons-J. B. and b. n.
Duke-gave over $4,000 for the es-
adjustment of the Lincoln Hospital,
which is used exclusively by colored
people.
He has also given literally to vary
ious orphanages and for other benev-
client and charitable purposes. In this
hurried sketch it is impossible to give
anything like an accurate account OF
the amount he has given. tits safe to
say, however, that he has given first
and last, directly and indirectly more
than a million and a half to causes of
religion, education and to relieve suf-
fering.

him such a victory. But ii IS as tile
plain practical sturdy citizen, q friend

ing man that | love best to think OF
Washington Duke. He hated all sham
and show, met every L--..l. u metter
how lowly he was, on common level,
and manifested those gentle qualities
that are born only in the heart of
him whose eye are fixed on the high
CT things.
Wa. hington Duke is the greatest
OF the South's philanthropists. The
bigness of his phiianthrophy' is to be
measured not only by the munlficens
gifts which lifted Trinity College
from small struggling college into
q strong we'll endowed representative
Institution, but by many q benefaction
of which the world knows nothing and
will never know until the white lights
of eternity reveal all secrets. The
whole State may well afford to bow
with his bereaved ones over the fallen

A Heart Fmn Of Love.

MIR. Washington Duke is dead
While expecting to hear of the final
hour of separation, yet when the
news came there was a shadow across
our threshold. He was loved i'm our
home. / sustained the relation of
pastor for four years to the church of
which he was a member. In the in
innate relation of pastor / had ample
opportunity to study him. | knew
him well. His faith in his Lord was
of child-like simplicity, yet of the
strength of a well-rounded, strongly
developed, manly man.
He loved the Lord. He loved the
church as the bride of his Lord. He
stood at the foot of the cross and in
the light of a sympathetic Savior's
countenance studied humanity in it's
needs and struggles, so that he had a
heart full of love and sympathy for
every toiling child of earth. He was
ever ready to hear appeals and all
ways kept money in the hands of his
pastor to aid cases of need. In al of
our association / never saw anything
else than an humble, trusting, Chris
tan man, desiring to glorify his Lord
by lettering the condition of men,
Judging him as l knew him, he "had
the fruits of the Spirit in meekness,
gentleness, humblenesS of mind
peace, love and iov."
Trinity College will stand as a mon
ument to his interest in his fellow
man. He had no thought of simply
building an earthly monument to
Washington Duke in giving his money
for Trinity; but, as often expressed
TO me. he wanted his life's work to
be continued through others after he
had gone from earth, that the world
roi@l,t he onrinhad hv q ru-o bettar
equipped and stronger manhood.
The effects of his plans for Trinity
College can only be measured i'm
eternity.
He had a large executive ability.
