to examinations which so many physi.
clans propose in order to intelligently
treat the disease and this is the rea-
son why so many physicians fail to
cure female disease.
This is also the reason why thousands

BOOKER MAKES DENIAL.
Washington Says the Reports We're

Birmingham, Ala, Aug. 20.-Booker
T. Washington of the Tuskegee Nor
NAL and Industrial School has address
ed a letter, under New York date, to
the Age-Herald of this city concerning
his visit to John Wanamaker at Sara
toga. He says:
II have just seen for the first time
the misleading and false reports in
Southern newspapers referring to my

amaker's family into the dining room Of

Mr.. Wanamaker and members OF his
family at d hotel at his request for the
purpose of talking on business-but at
the time was a guest myself at a col
ored hotel in Saratoga.
During the last fifteen years I have
been in the hotel where Mr.. Wanna
maker was on three different occasions,
when l was to speak at public meetings,
as l was this time, and no comment was
made of it.

FOUGHT PITCHED BATTLE.
Illinois Central Protects Its Rail
way Yards.

New Orleans. La, Aug. 20.-The at
tempt of the Public Belt Railroad to
lay a track through the Illinois CentrS
yards on ground given by the city
caused a pitched battle here today.
The 45 men employed by the Belt were
thrown out of the Illinois Central yards
by $50 men who were employed by that
railroad. They returned to work UNI
der a guard of q hundred police, under
the personal direction Of Mayor Behr-
man, twenty-five cars Of gravel were
then run into the yards and dumped
into the Belt right Of way. This fail
ing, a number Of refrigerator cars were
overturned on the road where the Belt
was trying to build. This plan also

at full speed, thus hoping to block the
work. The wreck failed to occur &C
cording to plans, the cars simply being
derailed and not rolling over the en-
bankment. Then gravel trains were
run across both entrances to the yards
and dumped, thus shutting off the Belt
from materials, About 90 arrests were
made, including the crew which tried
to wreck the train. The Illinois Cen.
trail claims that the property belongs
to them, and they will continue to pro
tect it. No one was seriously injured,
although a number of workmen were
injured in the fracas. Eight hundred

The English money denomination
pound was once a pound weight of silver
in it's pure state.
Windmills were introduced in Eng
land by the Crusaders, who had seen
them in use among the Saracens.
Long before tobacco was introduced
in England smoking was common. The
favorite smoke was the dried leaves

Worsted was first spun at Worsted in
Norfolk, England, in the year 134O-
Stockings made of this material were at

The oldest brick building in England,

PEACE CHANCES IMPROVED.
Intimate Decision of the Issue Passes
From the Plenipotentiaries
to Their Rulers.

Portsmouth, n. H., Aug. 2O.-The
chances Of peace have undoubtedly been
improved by President Roosevelts
action in stepping into the breach IN a
heroic endeavor to induce the waring
countries to compromise their "%irrecon-
cilable differences" but the result Is
still in suspense.
The ultimate decision of the issue
has de facto if not de jure passed from
the plenipotentiaries to their primer
pals. from Portsmouth to St. Peters
burg, and perhaps in a lesser extent to
Toxic. Although there are collateral
evidences the pressure, both by Presl-
dent Roosevelt and neutral powers, in
Guiding Japan's ally, Great Britain,
whose Minister, Sir Claude Macdonald,
according to advices received here, had
a long conference this afternoon with
Mr.. Katsura, the japanese Premier, is
still being exerted at Toxic to induce
Japan to moderate her demands, there
Is also reason to believe that President
Roosevelt vas able at his interview
with Baron de Rosen to practically
communicate to the latter's senior, Mr..
White, Japan's irreducibIe minimum
what she would yield TO, but the point
beyond which she would not go.
Whether an actual basis OF compro-
mise was proposed by the President
cannot be stated definitely. The only
thing that can be affirmed positively is
that if Russia refuses to act upon the
suggestion or proposition of President
Roosevelt the peace conference will
