 Mrs. Pinkham has for many years made a study of the ills of her sex she has consulted with and advised thousands of suffering women, who to-day owe not only their health but eveniife to her helpful advice.
 Mrs. Fannie D. Fox, of Chestnut Street, Bradford, Pa, writes:
 Dear Mrs. Pinkham :-
 "I suffered for Q long time with womb trouble, and finally was told by my physician that had tu4or on the womb. l did not want to submit to an operation, so wrote you for advice. received your letter and did as won told me, and to-day I am completely cured. My doctor says the tunlor has disap- peared and am once more a well woman. believe Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Com pound is the best medicine in the world for women"
 The testimonials which we are con- Btantlypublishingf from grateful women establish beyond a doubt the power of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound to conquer female diseases.

Youu~ wom.u stiIr Alive.

Nora Scarborough, the young woman who was shot yesterday by Robert Webb, who e mmitted suicide after fir- ing on her, is still alive and there is some hope of her recovery. though the bullet entered a very dangerous place, just above the heart. The grit and de- termination shown by the woman and her woi derful nerve have had much to do towards keeping her alive. She de- clines to talk about her case and still insists that webb shot her about watch and sonre rings belonging to her and which she demanded of Webb to return. It developed today that Webb had called on the young woman on a previous dste and that there was a dis puts They met at the house of the negro woman in Alley A and the dis pute was renewed. The remains of webb were still at the undertaking rooms of Caudin & Co. The wife of the deceased was shocked at the news which she received and when the de- tails of the affair became known was mortified.

 Street Fair Receipts.
 Tuscaloosa, Nov. 16.-(Special. )-The Emergency Hopsital received $393 as its per cent. of the receipts of the Street Fair held here last week. Ten per cent. of the gross receipts of the Cosmopol- itan Amusement Company, while it was to play in this city, was to be turned over to the worthy ladies who are in charge of the fund of the Emergency Hospital in this city. and the amount realized from this was as above stated. The many Tuscaloosa people who ex- pect to attend the Alabama-Auburn game in Birmingham Saturday regret very much that the A. c. s. Railroad will not put on a special train for that day from this place. It was thought at first that this would be done, but it Is now announced that only extra coaches will be put on the regular morning train from here. This will probably be cause of a decrease in the number who will attend the game from this place.

 Mobile, Nov. 16.
 News of the declaration of independ- ence by the inhabitants of the Isle of Pines, q small body of people r3siding on very small body of land to the south of Cuba, was received here to- day with surprise as we'll as pleas ure by business interests.
 Mobile has direct intercourse with the Isle of Pines by water. a company bearing the name of the island having q line of schooners plying between Nueva Gerona, the principal town, and Mobile. B. !. Pearcy. son of the Vice. President of the Isle of Pines Company. and one of the leading spirits in the movement to establish independence from Cuban rule for the islanders. Is in Mobile.
 When Mir. Pearvy learned of the ac- ton of the people of the island. where he and his father are largely interested financially. he expressed much pleas ure. Mobilians are thoroughly famil- far with conditions among the people of the little spot in the ocean and have sympathized with them because of the expressions forced upon them by the dominating power in Cuba.
 MT. Pearcy, speaking of conditions. as they existed in the island, said the people had stood the yoke of oppres- sion for long time. being bounded by unjust taxation and governmental oppression. He know that T. c. An, derson and other members of the American Club had for some time been working quietly on the movement looking to a declaration of independ- ence, but did not know the continuation was so close at hand.
 While we have been expecting some such action for many months" he said, there was nothing on the surface three months ago. when last was on the island. to indicate yesterdays ac- tion. Now that the movement has been inaugurated. however, you may rest assured all arrangements were completed before the all-important step was taken. Every American on the island Is well armed and prepared to resist interference. It Is true the Cuban Government maintains armed soldiers at Nueva Gerona. and. at times their action Is unbcarable. Should a clash between the soldiers and citi- zens occur, there will be bloodshed."
 MT. Pearcy declared that nothing in. the shape of firearms had been shipped in the recent cargoes of his vessels out of this port. but he was in position to know that the American Club is pre- pared for any extremities.
