and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of q wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1s43 she married Isaac Pinkham,
q builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and q
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days It
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in a physician only in specially
urgent cases. BY tradition and eX-
perience many of them gained a won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest
In the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that Just as nature so
beautifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; SO, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies ex-
pressly designed to cure the various
ills and weaknesses of the body, and
it was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple and effective medi-
cines for her own family and friends.
Chief of these was n rare comblna-
ton of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu-
liar to the female sex, and Lydia e. Pink
hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this so far was done freely, with.
out money and without price, as a
labor of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were toe
much for the large real estate interests
of the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, so when the Centen.
nial year dawned it found their prop
erty swept away. Some other source
of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia z. Pinkham'c
Vegetable Compound was made known
TO the world.

While the senate is deciding whether Senator

BRITISH PEER AS WALL STREET BROKER

"a. K. Fairfax, New York." was the mark on a
lot of baggage which arrived in New York by
steamer from Liverpool yet the owner is direct
descendent of one of the most famous houses of
the British peerage, being none other than the
Rt Hon. Albert, Lord Fairfax twelfth of the line
of Fairfax.
The life history of Lord Fairfax is most
romantic. The house dates back to 1927, the
founder being the great Fairfax who was one of
the few mobiles who sided with Cromwell and
who held chief command at Marston Moor His
son was generalin-chief of the parliamentary
forces and gained the great victory at Naseby
When the king came to his own the Fairfax of
that day deemed it best to come to America and
about 1889 settled in Virginia, where he bought
a tract of land comprising some 100000 acres
and erected two mansiOns-BreYoir and Green.

Charles M. Floyd, farmer, clothier and manu-
facturer, of Manchester, N. H.. made his cam
paign on a platform of "a business administra-

his victory, which was won by a margin OF but

of all the opposition to Churchill, when there
were four candidates.
Floyd is regarded as one of the public-spir-

mighty factor in politics, being especially popular
with the young men. He is 45 years OF age and

RISE OF A NEW YORK DEMOCRAT

legged pooroom and bucket shop gambler in Buffalo

POLITICS MAY SPLIT LABOR LEADERS.

officials of the American Federation of Labor
believe that after election a distinct breach will
be opened between President Samuel Gompers
and John Mitchell, president of the United Mine
Workers, and vice president of the Federation
Friction between them that will develop into
a breach is regarded as inevitable for the reason
that Gompers is jealous of the growth of Mitchell
as a political factor. Mitchell adheres to the
Roosevelt school of politics, while Gompers is
with the other faction.
There is question among neutral men,
bers of the official body of the Federation but
that Gompers activity in this campaign is due to
the fact that Mitchell made a success of his fight
in behalf of Roosevelt. Mitchelps prominence in
the labor field made him the man among organ

and other public men. Although GOmDers was
