Donald. wife of Governor Mcdonald,
and Mrs. S. VI. Perry. were seriously
injured in "A runaway accident at West

horses had swerved.
Clinging to the seat in terror, Mrs.
Mcdonald and Mrs. Perry expected
every instant to be thrown out of the
carriage At East Fourteenth avenue

A KENTUCKY WOMAN
How She Gained Fifteen Pounds in
Weight and Became Well by Taking
DR.. Williams Pink Pills,

Women at forty, or thereabouts, have
their future i'll their own hands. There
will be change for the better or worse,
for the better il the system is purified by
such tonic as DIR. Williams Pink Pills.
Mrs. ID. G. Wedding, of Hartford. Ky,
writes as follows concerning the diff
culties which afflicted her:
Il was seriously ill and was confined
to my bed for six or eight months in all,
during two years. 1 had chills, fever,
rheumatism. My stomach seemed al
ways too full, my kidneys did not act
freely, my liver was inactive, my heart
beat was very weak and had dizziness
or swimming i'll my head and nervous
troubles.
"Iwas under the treatment of several
different physicians but they all failed
to do me any good. After suffering for
two years l learned from an Arkansas
friend about the merits of DIR. Williams
Pink Pills and l decided that l would
try them. The very first box l took
made me feel better and when 1 had
taken four boxes more / was entirely well,
weighed fifteen pounds more than when
began, resumed my household duties,
and have since continued in the best of
health. 1 have recommended DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills to many people on ac-
count of what they did for me, and 1 feel
that cannot praise them too strongly"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills restored Mrs.
Wedding to health because they actually
make new blood and when the blood is
in full vigor every function of the body
is restored, because the blood carries to
every organ, every muscle, every nerve,
the necessary nourishment. Any woman
who is interested i'll the cure of Mrs. We'd
ding will want our book, "Plain Talks to
Women" which is free on request.
All druggists sell DR.. Williams Pink
Pills, or they will be sent by mail post
paid, on receipt of price, 80 cents per box,
six boxes for $3.50, by the DR. Williams
Medicine Co., Schenectady, NY.

TROOPS FOR CUBA
LARGE FORCE TO BE Modified
AT NEWPORT NEWS.
INSURGENTS WILL DIsARN
No Serious Trouble Anticipated
American Intervention Welcomed
President Orders Six Thousand
Troops Sent

shinston.-American troops are
now moving toward Cuba. Mobiliza.
ton of the forces will be at Newpor,
News, Virginia, for the most part al.
though part of the first expedition,
AIRY force to Cuba will be sent from
New York and Tampa. Florida. Ad,
vices received at the deplI tments OF
The military establishment of the gov,
eminent Sunday indicate that all is
quiet in Cuba and that the insurgents
intend to lay down their arms. The
probability is the United States forces
in the island will be landed only as a
precautionary measure. So far as of
ficials are advised no trouble of Sc,
rious kind is anticipated, but in ac-
cordance With Instructions from Presi
dent Roosevelt hurried preparations
are being made for the sending of an
expeditionary force of the army tC
Cuba.
The first American troops will be
landed at Havana next Saturday.
Meantime the marines and blue jack
cts from the American fieeS in Cuban
waters will protect American interests
and support Secretary Taft, the pro
visional governor of Cuba. IN the pres
ervation of order and the protection
of life and property.
In official circles here American in
tervention was regarded as inevitable.
How long IL may continue it is impos-
sible to foretell. The nature of the in
tervention and the preparations for it
indicate a supervision of Cuban af-
fairs on the part of the American gov
eminent fol an indefinite period. Ar.
rangements have been concluded not
only for the first evolutionary force
to Cuba of about 5000 men, but for a
second force of equal numbers. No or
ders for the mobilization of the second
force, of course, have been issued. but
II the men are needed ell arrange
ments have been completed for hurry
Ing them to Cuba at the earliest posi-
BILE moment. Whether more troops
that are included in the first expedi-
ton will be sent to Cuba will depend
upon the DEVELOPMENTS IN the island
during the next ten days.
1t is certain. however, that suffi
cient force of American troops will be
maintained in Cuba to support the pro-
yisional government and to insure Sc
curity to lite and property pending the
establishment OF a stable government
by the Cubans.
No time is being lost in hurrying
troops to the point of mobilization
Newport News, Virginia. The order
of President Roosevelt received at
1885 Saturday night at The War De-
partment. was imperative. Its text
was as follows:
Arrange for G,O0O troops to start
for Cuba as soon as possible"
This telegram was received in an
swer to the one sent to tbs President
Saturday morning by the Var Depart
ment officials, following tie message
from Secretary Taft. Immediately tele-
grams were sent to the troops selected
for Cuban service to move at once. BY
midnight all orders to troops had been
DISPATCHED and advices received by the
military secretary, General AinsH..'h
indicate that the orders are being Gar
ricd into effect.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance. but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch. as 1t can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

How to Go Swimming.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
Once when people went in
swimming in the sea they went
for the swim. Now they go in
TO the knees-for the sensa
ton they produce by their cos
tunes. OF course certain mere
males continue TO paddle around
in the surf and get their hair
wet, but you cannot expect a
demoiselle who has spent $50
on a delirous cOniection Of hsn-
mel and lace and leather and
lewelry to moisten it, because
the color might run, and, any
way, it would assume that shape
less and stingy appearance that
cloth nearly always has when it
has been dipped. The complete
covering Of the swimmer involv-
es the abolition of swimming.
There is but one way to enjoy a
swim, and that is to sneak away
from fashion, remove every last
thread OF ones duds, putting
tbom under . stone 10 keep the
wind from blowing them away;
