In those good old fashioned DAYS Il
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in 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. Pinkhap took a great interest
in the study of roots and herbs. their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature so
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetableffoods of
all kinds; 20, If we but take the pains
to find the1, in the roots and herbs
OF the field there are remedies ex-

Ills and weaknesses of the body. and
it was her pleasure to search these out:

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 too
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.
NAL year dawned it found their prop
erty swept away. Some other source
OF income had to be found.
At this point Lydia E. Pinkham's

In violation of the immigration laws.
Is to have the special attention of the
immigration authorities, in view O:
the capture of the Cinnamon brought
into Providence on the schooner
Frolic the other day.
For several months mast the immi-
grafton officials have had reason To
pelIeVe that smugglers of Chinese
were unusually busy at that point.
n hat the Asiatics were being
brought there on the theory that
tnev could thus be sneaked into the
united States with greater ease than
ELSEWHERE, since the American OIL
claIs along he Canadian land border
nave proved themselves so yieilant
anu since canada has made the head
TAX on every Chinaman brought into
that country $500.
Commissioner-General Sargent ra-
CARDS the capture of the Chinamen
as an important piece of work. and
is prepared to direct a most rigid in
vest1gat1on of the circumstances in
connection with their smuggling in.
Inough n bureau has had long ex-
Per1ence with the ways that are
dark" of the Chinese in their at
tempts to get into the United States
without proper authorization and
has intercepted many of them both
on the Northern and Southern bor-
ders in all sorts of DISCUSSES, the re-
cent attempt of bringing them in on
a yacht to New England ports is re-
garded as one of the most daring eff
forts to circumvent the law ever
made.
The department is anxious to de-
term1ne whether the expedition of the
Frolic is part of a well organized sys-
tenn by which Newfoundland is used
as a centre of activities for shipping
Cinnamon into the United States in
large numbers, and il so to prevent
any future efforts OF the kind. Most
or the attempts to smuggle in Chi
nese have been made on the Pacific
coast Of Canada, where the officials
had great trouble In breaking I'D the
trade, but succeeded in doing so by
a~lertness on the part of the agents |
ana by an arrangement with the
steamship companies which requires |
that Chinese brought to Vancouver |
destined for the United States must
be brought under bond and deliv-
cred to immigration officers at the
ports of entry. There is reason to
believe that the Cinnamon on the
Frolic were brought from Liverpool
across the Atlantic instead of by the !
Pacific route, and in this case it is
believed an arrangement may be dis
closed whereby regular shipments
are being made to Newfoundland
with smugglers operating from that
point as a sourc of supply.

BRIDE CHIEF IN A TRAGEDY.
Shoots Dying Husband and Kills Her.
self ''to End 1t All"

Liberty, Mo. - Welded only five
days, Jesse Webb, son of a wealthy
farmer near here, lies dying with q
bullet wound through his breast, and
his bride is dead with a shot through
her heart. The tragedy was wrought
by a pistol in the hands sf the Young
woman herself.
The couple resolved to die together
after a physician told Webb he was
hopelessly stricken with tuberculosis.
In an ante-mortem statement the
young man said: Nellie cried and
told me she could not live without
me, and ] told her I thought IL
would be better to end it ALL" For
a minute the bride seemed dazed by
the suggestion. But suddenly her
face cleared" ran the b~ridegroom's
statement, land she said, IT is the
better way, Jesse. I cannot bear to
see o die slowly, and we'll both
die together"
Webb wanted to take the pistol.
but his wife insisted on firing the
shots. They were together in the
parlor of the. new -farmstead which
was a wedding present from the
young mans father. Mrs. Webb held
the revolver close to her husbands
left breast, but the bullet was de-
hected by a bone from the heart.
The moment the man struck the
floor Mrs. Webb killed herself. In
falling her body upset a table, which
was spread with wedding gifts of sill
yer and cut gbSs. The shots were
heard by men Passing the house in a
buggy, and rushing in they found
the bride dead and the bridegroom
dying. The doctors say Webb cannot
recover.
