Regard to Their Health

of So Chester Avenue,
Newark, N. j., who is a
graduate Nurse from the
Blockley Training School,

six years Chief Clinic

the advantage of personal
experience, besides her
professional education,
and what she has TO say
may be absolutely relied
upon.
Many other women are
afflicted as she was. They
can regain health in the
same way. 1t is prudent
to heed such advice from
such a source.
Mrs, Pohlman writes;

WOMAN HAS TWO HUSBANDS
Living Within Mile of Each Other
in Montana.

Butte, Mont, Sept. 2O.-Two weeks
ago the 20-year-old wife of Geo. Mel
vile, a miner, told her husband she
was going out to attend the wedding of
a,friend. Yesterday it was discovered
that she was the bride and had married
Harry Northy, young man living less
than half mile from her home.
Mrs. Melville had told Northey that
Melville was her uncle and she did not
want him to know of her marriage for
a while as she feared he would cable
the news to her mother, who she said
is an invalid in London.
So she went back and lived with Mel
vile for a week, then returned to her
younger husband and remained with
him until yesterday when Melville sue
ceeded in finding her. She denied him
and declared he was her Uncle and moth
ing more. Northey believed her. not
withstanding the record of the court at
Great Falls, which show that she mar
ried Melville in August, 1901.
The girl, four years ago, was mar
ried to man named Walbridge, who
abused her and was killed by her father
near Phillipsburg, Mont, for which
crime the father, Carlisle Hunter, is
serving a sentence in the State peniten-
tiary. The young woman was arrested
on charge of bigamy.

officers, according to Maj Gen. Corbin,
commanding the Philippine division.
In his annual report, Gen. Corbin says
there is too frequently evidence that
there are officers in che service not
mindful Of their financial obligations.
The number Of complaints on this point,
he says, calls for drastic treatment.
The general then lays down these
principles:
"The moment-an 0flcsr begins living
beyond his means ae SHOULD be subiect-
ed to discipline. Young officers join
ing the service should be admonished
that for them only the simple life is
possible. The moment an officer is pos
sessed with an uncomfortable desire for
any other life he, as duty to himself
as well as his regiment, should separate
himself from the service and enter the
fields in which the material rewards
admit of more luxury of living
There are now 1855 troops in the
Philippines including 5,l81 native
scouts, and Gen. Corbin recommends
that there be no reduction in his force.
He says the conditions as to peace in
the islands are better than at any time
since American occupation, with the
exception of Samar.
A reduction in expense amounting to
million and half dollsrs is reported
as having been accomplished during the
administration of Gen. Corbin.

sENORITA HUNTS HER SISTER

Louisville, Sept. 2O.--Searching for

IN ROLE OF PEACEMAKER
Nicholas Again Appears Second
Peace Conference Called.

ESac0 conference C81l0Q.
st. Petersburg, Sept. 49, Emperor
Nicholas today again appears before
the world as promoter of universal
peace. No sooner is the Russo-Japan-
ese war over, and even before the peace
treaty has been ratified than his ma
jesty issues invitations to a second
peace conference at The Hague.
That the Emperor has done so was
learned today from source which
leaves no shadow of doubt as to its au-
thenticity
1t is officially announced that 'the
Russian government proposed to ad.
dress the foreign powers with view to
the holding of peace conference at
The Hague" but it is known that me-
gotiations preceding this announcement
that the government proposed to adj
dress the Powers were entered into es-
pecially with the United States, and
were conducted with the greatest Sc
crecy, there being not the slightest
inkling that Russia contemplated any
thing of the kind.
The announcement created the great
est surprise here, and the fact that
Russia had planned a second conference
despite the steps already taken by
President Roosevelt was also heard With
amazement. 1t is clear that the step
could not be taken by Russia without
first reaching complete understanding
with President Roosevelt.

HID THE BODY OF HIS VICTIM
Then Returned and Completed His
Murderous Work.

New York, Sept. ia large force
of detectives is at work today search
ing for Joseph Girard, for whose arrest
warrant has been issued in connection
with the murderof Augusta Pfeiffer,
near the Pelham Road, Westchester.
Coroner O'Gorman said:
II donot believe the girl was killed
outright; think she was rendered un.
conscious and the brute who attacked
her dragged her body into the bushes
and hid it, thinking she was dead.
Probably she lay there all of Thursday
and Friday unable to move or make an
cutlery, and the murderer returned Fri
day night to look at his victim. Find
ing her alive, he finished her.
Undoubtedly the girl knew the man
who killed her. Otherwise there would
have been no necessity for him TO have
added murder to his first crime. He
killed her because she recognized him. .

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
influence of Radium on Insanity
and Locomotor Ataxia.


New York. Sept. Is. Insanity and
locomotor ataxia will yield to the inhu-
ence of radium, in the Judgment of
British scientists, who have been maxi
ing exhaustive experiments in this di-
rection. Dr. S. G. Tracy, well-known
physician and scientist of this city,
arrived here today, is confident that
much is to be expected from this new
remedy.
"The manner of application, said
DR.. Tracy today, SIS by means of a sort
of cap closely fitted to the patients
head. This is charged with radium
barium of $4,000 activity. Really re-
markable results already have been acc
comp1ished. While further expert
mentation will be necessary to fully es-
tablish the efficacy of the new remedy,
there is every reason to believe that it
will be established.
THE new method of applying radium
through hypodermic injection for the
cure of cancer, suggested by Sir Will
liam Ramsey, the noted English scient-
ist, is also of great interest to the
medical profession.

HIS LICENSE IS REVOKED.
Captain of Fruit Steamer Dismissed
From Service.


Washington, Sept. 2O.-The failure
of Capt. w. II. Hotville, as master of
the United Fruit Company's ship Oteri,
to give assistance to the United States
steamer Sylph, which was disabled off
the coast, of North Carolina on the
night of April II, has cost him his po-
sition through the revocation of his Ii
cense by the United States Steamboat
Inspection Service.
This action was taken by inspection
officers at Norfolk, Va. The distress
of the Sylph occurred while Lieuten-
ant Evans was bringing the vessel up
the coast from Florida, where it had
been used by Mrs. Roosevelt and the
White House children for cruise.
1t appears from the evidence gather
ed by the Steamboat Inspection Service
that Capt. Hotville made little effort to
extend aid to the Sylph. The accusa-
ton of Lieutenant Evans and the reply
of Captain Hotville do not materially
differ, except that Hotville offered an
excuse for his action. In the Inspec-
ton Service, it is said, this excuse was
themost damaging evidence obtainable.

and his party had travelled all through
Japan, and had found no trace of any
anti-foreign or anti-American feeling.
While prominent American party had
been involved in Toxic mob, he
thought that 1t was because the party
happened to be caught in the mob, and
not because they were American. other
churches besides American churches
had been burned. Secretary Taft said
that he had examined the Chinese boy
