An eminent physician saws that
"Women are not truthful; they will lie
to their physician" This statement
should be qualified; women do tell the
truth, but not the whole truth, to a
male physician. but this is only in re-
gard to those painful and troublesome
disorders peculiar to their sex.
There can be no more terrible ordeal
TO delicate, sensitive, refined woman
than to be obliged TO answer certain
questions when those questions are
asked, even by her family physician
This is especially the case with pn-
married women.
Is 1t any wonder, then, that women
continue TO suffer and that doctors
fail to cure female diseases when they
cannot get the proper information TO
work on?
This is the reason why thousands and
thousands of women are now corre-
spending with Mrs. Pinkham. To her
they can and do give every symptom,
so that she really knows more about
the true condition of her patients,
through her correspondence with them
than the physician who personally
questions them.
IfyOu suffer from any form OF trouble
peculiar 10 women, write at once to
Mrs. Pinkham. Lynn, Mass, and she
will advise you free of charge.
The fact that this great boon. which
is extended freely to women by Mrs.
Pinkham, is appreciated, the thou
sands of letters received by her prove.
Many such grateful letters as the fol-
Lowing are constantly pouring in.

Trouble with the Sultan.

Some of the difficulties encountered by
the American minister at Constantlnople
in his efforts to gain an audience with
the Sultan last year to obtain settlement
of American claims are set forth in the
following official pharaphase, made pub
tic at the State Department yesterday, OF
a cabegram received at the time from
Minister Leishman:
"Mr. Leishman reports that IN the
absence of any further communication
from the palace about the audience, be
attended selamnik this morning, and
that the grand master of ceremonies in-
formed him that, on account ofimportant
visitors in,the harem, His Majesty could
not receive him today. In view of the
fact that the audience was demanded in
the name of the President and that he
had twice been put off, it seems to Mr..
Leishman to be beneath the dignity OF
the government of the United States to
have him go again to the palace to seek
an audience unless positive assurance be
given in advance that he will be received
by the Sultan. Requests further in
structions."
Exasperated by the dilatoriness OF the
Porte, the Secretary informed Mr.. Leish'
man that ''the American feet will arrive
at Smyrna in few days, and instructs
him to use his best endeavors to obtain
a satisfactory answer from the Turkish
government before its arrival, and If that
government should continue TO refuse or
to neglect to grant the moderate and
reasonable requests of this government,
10 take an indefinite leave and to depart
from Turkey in one Of the United States
vessels, leaving the legation in charge o
the secretary of legation"

TERRIFIC STORMS.

Scores Of persons were injured and
property worth thousands OF dollars was
DESTROYED by storm of cyclonic proper
tom. which swept over Philadelphia
Yesterday afternoon. The storm lasted
less than half an hour, but in that time
it wrought damage greater than that
done by any storm that has visited PhIla-
DELPHI in recent years. The storm
struck the city at o'clock; halfan hour
later it passed of, leaving III its wake a
trail of ruin. The wind blew at the
rate of 80 miles an hour, and rain fell
in a deIuge. Traffic was tied up COM
pletely, people on the street were blown
from their feet, l'nding 20 or 30 feet
away, against buildin!s.
From all sections Of the city came re-
ports of houses unroofed. More than
500 damaged buildings have already
been reported.
Mrs. Charles Long, who was buried
beneath the wreckage Of a fence
at Thirteenth and Mt. Vernon streets,
was 50 badly injured that the
physicians have abandoned hope Of
her recovery. Mrs. Long was walk
ing along toe street with her two
year-old baby in her arms. AS
she was caught beneath the falling fence
she showed the child from her arms.
Several men extricated her from the
wreckage. At the hospital il was found
that her back had been broken and that
she had sustained fractured skull and
several broken ribs.
The storm also affected the suburbs
and nearby towns to the southwark.
Chester was visited by terrific wind
and rain storm which did damage to the
extent of hundreds of dollars. Small
BOYS and girls were blown off their feet,
wagons were overturned and parts of tin
roofs blown off. The main tent OF the
Hargreaves shows, in which rehearsal
was going on, was blown down, but no
one was hurt. There was a stampede OF
horses, but they were later corralled.
The wind blew 70 miles an hour and
many telegraph poles fell.
At FELTON, two houses were blown
down and two men injured.
Coney Island was badly damaged by a
terrific wind and electric storm that swept
over the resort yesterday afternoon.
Frederick w. Thompson, one ofthe OWE
ers of Luna Park, and Percival Hyatt,
the well-known booking agent, were
shocked by bolt of electricity tha.
struck the great Luna Park tower.
Many buildings in course of construc-
ting or undergoing repairs for the ap-
preaching season we're blown down and
several workmen hurt. The new scenic
railway was demolished by the wind.
There was wild scramble for safety on
the part of 500 wolkn en- employed in
Luna Park.
The storm which gathered power as ii
sped toward the ocean, after passing owe
Manhattan bore such an ugly look as 1t
approached the island that all men at
work on lofty heights skidded to the
ground in hurry, or many would have
been blown out to sea.
The electrical display on the thousands
of wires that are in the various amuse-
ment enterprises became heavily charged,
and for few moments the effect was
terrific. The bolt which struck the 80
foot Luna Park tower created a flame
that was visbly all over Grayesend and
as far west as New Jersey.
