A NAPOLEON OF BUSINESS.

A certain widow, the mother of sev-
eral children and the custodian Of
a dog. which had been left, along
with sundry debts, by the late hus
band, became so poor that she could
hardly feed the children, to say moth
ing of a healthy cur. Therefore she
decided to sell the dog, or. failing in
this, to give it away The delicate
task of negotiating the sale of the dog
was entrusted to the eldest son. a
boy of ten years. He left early in
the morning and returned late in the
evening. "Well," asked the mother
'did you sell the dog?" ''No," replied
the youthful Napoleon of business.
"but traded it for six of the finest
pups you ever saw" What happened
thereafter is not recorded, but since
then poverty and an excess of dogs
appears to have gone hand in hand.

FAKE STORIES DIspLEAsE.
Secretary Loeb Is In Training as
Rider.

Glenwood Springs, Colo, April "a.
Loeb rode twenty-five miles from the
presidents camp yesterday he spent
several hours in the saddle today at
ter disposing of an unusually heavy
mail. He is preparing himself SO that
he can make the next trip with great
er ease. A large bundle of newspap-
ers was sent to the camp by Elmer
Chapman, the courier. Many of the
papers contained fake stories of the
presidents hunt. The members of
the hunting party were greatly dis
pleased when they learned of the char
acter of some of the stories printed
by several papers having correspond
ents at Newcastle. The correspond
ents located there have no facilities
for getting news and they are entire
ly out of touch with Secretary Loeb.
Preparations are under way here to

CONNECTICUT is MOURNING.
Senator o. H. Plat Yields to Attack of
Pneumonia.

Washington, Conn.,, April 24.-Uni-
ted States Senator Orvolle Hitchcock
Plat of Connecticut died at his sum-
mer home in Washington, his native
town, on April 81, from pneu-
monia. The end came almost unex-
pectedly. the immediate cause being
the breaking of the abscess which
had formed in the right lung and
which produced strangulation. Only
a few minutes before, DR.. Ford, the
family physician, had prepared bull
letin from the sick room to the effect
that if the patient did not have an
other sinking spell, such as had come
to him during the forenoon, he would
probably live through the night.
When the physician left the sick
chamber the senator was perfectly
conscious, appeared to have no pain
and had answered questions put to
him by those at the bedside, showing
that his mind was clear. In the room
at the time were Mrs. Plat and the
senator's only son, Judge James P.
Plat of the United States Circuit
Court. The funeral will probably be
held tomorrow, with services in the
Congregational Church. Both houses
of congress will be represented.

PLANS OF THE JAPANESE.
How They Manage TO Learn English
And Reach America.

Washington, April "a. = John Nc
CURE, representative of the trade
and labor council of Honolulu, Ha-
wall, was in conference today with
Secretary Morrison of the American
F. Grafton of Labor relative to the
immigration of Japanese coolies to
the Hawaiian islands. He told Mr..
Morrison that the Japanese are COM
ing in, in large numbers and that as
rule after remaining a short time they
continue their journey to the United
States. The plan they pursue, accord
ing to Mr. McGuires statement, is to
have as many come to this country
from Hawaii as land there direct
from Japan. By this means they keep
down the number in the islands and
also find opportunity to learn the
English language and to get a little
money ahead before reaching our
shores.
They are unable to secure permits
from their emperor to come direct
to the United States, said Mr. Nc
CURE, but they are getting here all
the same. In Hawaii they are in all
kinds of business except sugar plant
ing and running each others business.
Mr.. Morrison assured his caller that
the federation is taking steps to check
the immigration. 1t is intended to
bring the matter before congress very
earnestly at the next session.

Dyspepsia Of Women
ABSOLUTELY NEEDLESS AGONY
caused by Uterine Disorders and Cured By

A great many women suffer with q
form of indigestion or dyspepsia which
does not seem to yield to ordinary treat
ment. While the symptoms seem to be
similar to those of ordinary indiges-
ton, yet the medicines universally pre-
scribed do not seem to restore the pa
TENTS normal condition.

Airs. iii. Nriahf

Mrs. Pinkham claims that there is a
kind of dyspepsia that is caused by a
arrangement of the female organism,
and which, while it causes a disturb
ance similar to ordinary indigestion,
cannot be relieved without medicine
which not only acts as stomach tonic,
but has peculiar uterine-tonic effects
also.
AS proof of this theory we call at
tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y. who was
completely cured by Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound after every
thing else had failed. She writes:
For two years suffered with dyspepsia
which so degenerated my entire system that
was unable to attend to my daily duties l
felt weak and nervous, and nothing that ate
tasted good and it caused disturbance in nv
stomach. l tried different dyspepsia cures,
but nothing seemed to help me. / was ad-
vised to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound trial, and was happily surprised
to fin1 that it acted like a fine tonic, and in a
fewGays began. to enjoy and properly digest
my food. My recovery was rapid, and in
five weeks l was well woman. have rec
commended it to many suffering women"
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquali-
fed endorsement,or has such a record of
cures of female troubles, as has Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

I::formed all the Business Houses Of
Their Intention.
THEY MUST NOT GIVE ANY AID.
Deliveries to Montgomery, Ward &
Co. Must cease-It Is Believed That
the Threat Will Not Be Heeded-
Employers Refuse.

Chicago, April 24-The transfers
union have informed all business
houses which have been delivering
goods to Montgomery, Ward & Co.,
that they must stop, or general
strike of all the union teamsters in
Chicago will be called. 1t is expect
ed that the demands of the unions,
without exception, will be refused by
the employers. Committees repre-
senting the unions called on a num-
Der of the leading business houses to-
day and informed them that they
must at once cease doing business
with Montgomery, Ward & Co., or a
strike would be called. In every in
stance they were informed that the
deliveries of goods will be continued
They were also told by the employers
that, as members of the Employers
association. it was impossible for
them to refuse to transact business
with another member.
The committee will call upon the
employers again and renew the de-
mand that was made today. 1t is not
expected by anybody that the answer
of the employers will be any differ
ent tomorrow from that given to the
unions today.
The sentiment among the $4,000
teamsters who form the unions is said
to be overwhelmingly in favor of a
strike, unless the employers offer
some sort of a compromise. The en-
ployers declare that the very nature
of the demand made by the team
sters makes any sort of a compromise
impossible 1t is considered unlikely
that the strike. if called, will be in eff
feet before April "a.

GRAND JURY INVESTIGATION.
That Body Is Curious About Chicago
Strike.

Chicago, April %. The teamsters'
joint council have appointed a COM
mittee which is to visit the depart
ment stores tomorrow and demand
that the non-union drivers who have
been making deliveries to Montgom-
cry, Ward & Co. be discharged. If
the demand is refused the committee
has the power to call strike of the
drivers in three of the large depart
ment stores. 1t is probable that the
grand jury will tomorrow commence
an investigation into the causes and
progress of the present strike in the
establishment of Montgomery, Ward
& Co. The members of the jury yes
terday passed a resolution setting
forth that they would like to know
something about the strike, and this
afternoon a delegation of prominent
men called at the Office of States At
torney Healy and held an extended
conference with him.

many months, and when 1 was on the
very verge of despair, happened to read
an account of some cures effected by
DR.. Williams Pink Pills. The state
ments were so convincing that I some
how felt assured that these pills would
help me. Most people, think, buy only
one box for trial, but I purchased six
boxes at once, and when 1 had used
them up, was indeed well and had no
need of more medicine.
CDR. Williams Pink Pills enriched my
thin blood, gave me back my sleep, re-
stored my appetite, gave me strength to
walk long distances without fatigue, in
fact freed me from all my numerous all
ments. I have already taught for several
months, and I cannot say enough in
praise of DR. Williams Pink Pills"
Miss Margaret NJ. James is now living
at No. 1913 Clay street, Dayton, Ohio.
Many of her fellow teachers have also
used Dr. Williams Pink Pills and are
enthusiastic about their merits. Sound
digestion, strength, ambition. and cheer
full spirits quickly follow their use. They
are Bold in every drug store in the

WHY ONE IS SLEEPY.
Many hypothesis Are Advanced by
the Scientists

mdny 6ypotncSeS are advanced by
the Scientists.
Scientists disagree as to the cause
of drowsiness. Some curious and re-
markable reasons are assigned for the
desire everybody has for sleeping. 1t
is attributed by some people to an
accumulation in the system of the
poisonous products of the wear and
tear of the body during the day.
There seems to be some measure of
truth in this, for in many diseases
the patients are often sleepless. An
other hypothesis is that the nerve
cells of the brainu dwell apart from
each other. as it were, during sleep.
The brain is composed of millions of
tiny bodies called cells, each having
several delicate prolongations, or
branches, for the purpose of communi-
eating with other cells When the
brain is fully active all these cells are
in contact, or ready to be in contact,
with one another; but the time &C.
casionally comes. it is thought, when
the branches of all the cells curl up,
and their isolation means that COM
plete communication between the
cells ceases. The state of body and
mind that follows is what we call
sleep.
The most probable explanation of
sleep, however. is that in some way
or other the internal condition of the
cells is changed, partly from exhaus-
ton and partly because of diminished
stimulation from other parts Of the
body.
