WOMHN NEEDS

For the relief and cure of the many del
icate, intricate and obstinate ailments
peculiar to her sex, a remedy carefully
devised and adapted to her delicate
organization by an experienced and
skilled physician. Such remedy Is
DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
The treatment of many thousands OF
those chronic weaknesses and distress
ing ailments peculiar to females, at the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, N. Y, has afforded a vast ex-
perience in nicely adapting and thor.
oughly testing remedies for the cure OF
woman's peculiar malsdies.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription Is
the outgrowth, or result, of this great
and valuable experience. Thousands
of testimonials received from patients
and from physicians who have tested 1t
in the more aggravated and obstinate
cases which had baffled their skill,
prove it to be a superior remedy for the
relief and cure of suffering women. 1t
is not recommended as q cure-all, !"
but as most perfect specific for wom-
ans peculiar ailments.
AS a powerful invigorating tonic, it
imparts strength to the whole system
and to the womb and its appendages in
particular. For over-worked, worn
out" debilitated teachers, milliners,
dressmakers, seamstresses, shop
girls" house-keepers, nursing moth
ers, and feeble women generally, Fa-
vorite Prescription is the greatest
earthly boon, being unequaled as an
appetizing cordial and restorative tonic.
As a soothing and strengthening
nervine, Fayorite Prescription is
unequaled and is invaluable in allaying
and subduing nervous excitability, irri-
liability, nervous exhaustion, nervous
prostration, neuralgia, bysteria, spasms,
chorea, or st. vitus's dance, and other
distressing, nervous symptoms COZ
monty attendant upon functional and
organic disease of the womb. It in
duces refreshing sleep and relieves
mental anxiety and (lespondency.

RUSSIANS TO LOSE MUKDEN
GENERAL KURoPATklN HAS so
ADVISED THE CAR.
Another Defeat Added to the Long
List Handed Russia by the Brave
Little Brown Men.

That the battle of Mukden will go
down in history with Liaoyang In the
long list of Russian defeats is the al
most universal belief In pessimistic
st. Petersburg, which has forgotten
the meaning of the word victory. The
war Office does not admit that the Is
sues of the great battle. which already
exceeds in magnitude of operations
and losses that of Shakhe, has been
decided. although it is positively
stated In high quarters that Kuropat-
kin has telegraphed to Emperor Mich
olas that it will be impossible to hold
Mukden, and that the withdrawal OF
the army northward has already been
begun

VIII Cheaper Old vioIins.

Are we about to witness a slump In
'Strads" and other old violins? A let
ter received in Rome, from Bucharest.
states that an Italian artist named
Antonio Bonardi, long resident there.
has found a method of greatly improv-
ing the quality of tone in violins. This
result is secured by a certain modif-
cation of the shape, especially at the
narrower part, rendering the instru-
ment at the same time more elegant
in form. 1t is stated that at recent
musical Conversations, the Bonardi
instrument, although made of new
wood, was tried against an old Qua
dagnin with triumphant results.-Lon-

LITTLE POKER AT WASHINGTON.
Stories Of Big Games Must Be Taken
With Allowances

IL was formerly quite the thing to
tell stories about big poker games
among the members OF Congress.
Much was said about the Senatorial
game ''millionaires game" and the
Congressional game" and always we
heard about great lunches OF money
changing hands. bluffs as high as the
banks OF the Mississippi. and all sorts
OF stories.
Frequently the senator. representa-
tive, diplomat or rich man was named
and the winnings or losses told with
as much gusto as IL they had really
happened. There were some pleasant
poker games in days gone by. and oc-
casionally some wonderful plays, but
one night, with few interesting Incl
dents. furnished material for month
of stories.
Some o. those who figured In the
poker stories became annoyed at the
notoriety they gained and abandoned
poker entirely. For many years now
there has not been enough poker In
the capital to hang story on.

RussIA's HOPES VANISHING.
Position Of kuroaptkln is Regarded as
Extremely Desperate.

A dispatch from St. Petersburg. I'M
der date of March Z, says: All hope
that General Kuropatkin will be able
to turn defeat into victory is rapidly
vanishing. The position of the Rus
sian army has been growing increas-
ingly desperate during the last TWEEN
ty-four hours The gravest danger is
from the Japanese left, which has
been pushed northward on the Sin
mintin road to point eight miles
northwest of Mukden, where it has
joined thanking column from the west
around the village of Tatchekiao.
which is located at this point.
The battle ragged with terrible bit
terness throughout yesterday, with all
the reserves hurried to the scene to
block the stroke at the Russian line of
communications.
Baron Kaulbars, who is defending
this wing, is only able to hold his
own. On account of the desperate sit
uation there General Kuropatkin has
not attempted to drive home his coun-
ter-stroke at the Japanese center and
his offensive, which was abortive, has
been abandoned.
1t is rumored that Kuropatkin has
already given the order to retreat, and
that he is gradually withdrawing
forces from the center, but experts are
inclined to believe that he has waited
too long; that he must fight 1t out In
his present position, and that it is i'm
possible to extricate more than the
remnants of his army.
