DEPEW'S HEALTH STILL BAD.
Shepard Estate-Rides with
Children

New York, April PROMISES that
Senator Depew would return to
his place in the senate by this
time have not been fulfilled, for
the reason that hopes of his fam
lily for a complete restoration of his
health have been disappointed. He is
still in retirement on the Elliott F..
Shepard estate, back Of Scarborough-on-
Hudson, where he has been in seclus-
ion for "a month since he suddenly left
Washington. So closely is the senator
guarded that only few persons living
in the immediate neighborhood are
able to say from their own knowledge
that he is in the Villa as the house is
known, in which extreme measures
have been taken to check the rapid de-
cline into which it has seemed for sew
eral months he has been falling. If
any employee on the Shepard place is
questioned as to the senator he an
swers either with a well simulated
stare Of amazement or fatty denies
that he mas even heard a report as to
the senator's whereabouts. But here
and there can be found one or two to
admit having seen Mr.. Depew. Every
pleasant Gay lately he has been taken
for ride in an automobile and several
times he has taken children of the
neigh borhood as companions. Except
for caretakers, Senator Depew is prac-
tically alone on the 200-acre estate.

A CURE FOR DEBILITY
Or. Williams Pink Pills A Reliable

When the body is weak and the blood

cause unless a wasting illness has pre-

girl on the verge of womanhood.
Obscure influences, something I'M
healthful in ones surroundings or work,
may lead to a slow impoverishment Of
whole body. When serious stage has
been reached there seems to be nothing
that will account for it.
Mr.. @. e. Legg, of Upton, w. Va,
has found a successful method of treat-
ing weakness and bloodlessness. He
says:

weakness caused by a lingering malarial
fever that began III the spring of 1895.
The worst effects of this were indiges-

How long did these troubles last?"
'For over two years. For four
months of that time l was under the
care of physician, but his medicine did
me no good. Meanwhile / learned of
the cures that had been wrought by DR..

the same condition is anticipated.
Wellington O'Connor president of

nounced that all the operators in In

railroad except two and several in the
central part of the state had signified
their willingness to sign the scale. In
West Virginia and Iowa the district

$4,000 Out in Illinois.
Springfield, ILL.,, April 3.-Without
demonstration of any kind, but quiet

Illinois closed down Monday. The
$4,000 miners employed in the shafts
remained at their homes in pursuance
of the strike instructions issued from
the Springfield headquarters. Coal
digging came to an abrupt standstill
practically throughout the state. At
the outset of the strike, at least, vio-

MINERS, STRIKE NOTES.

The big strike of 5O9,5OO miners has
gone into effect. Only those will re-
turn whose employers grant the 1903
wage scale.
The extent of the coal strike in the
bituminous fields was reduced by more
than half through the action of the
miners convention in Indianapolis,
which decided that the miners shall be
allowed to work for operators who are
willing to grant the demands of the
men.
President Roosevelt decided not to
grant the request of bituminous coal
operators for the appointment of a
commission to inquire into conditions
in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, and will
take no action until the prosperity of
the country is at stake.
