der consideration for considerable
time.
1t is the expectation that the presi-
dent will be able to spend at least Il
week on the canal zone, and in that
time he will familiarize himself with
the situation byn study of II at close
range a personal visit to the canal
zone will enable him to handle with an
absolute knowledge of the situation the
great problems which constantly will
be arising IN connection with the work
of canal construction and administra-
ton.
In connection with the announce
ment of the presidents intention TO
visit Panama Secretary Loeb said the
president has decided not to visit San

don his tour of the west because of the
enormous number of invitations he
was receiving to visit schools, colleges,
fairs, reunions and cities and towns.

would necessltate trip of at least
| three months.

MOUNTAIN CAR RAN AWAY.
Patrick Burns Killed and Eleven
Hurt Near Orange, n. j.

ORANGE, y. j., June 25,-One man
was killed and eleven injured AT the
foot of the Orange mountain, near here,
while experiments were being made
with specially constructed trolley
car with which it was proposed to re-
place the abandoned cable system on
the incline railway leading to the
mountain summit.
Two cars fitted with newly invented
brakes had arrived, and after being
set up by workmen the inventor of the
brakes and several of the construction
gang decided to make an experimental
trip with one of them.
The ear ran up almost to the top of
the mountain and then began to slide
back. 1t had no sand in the box, and
the brakes would not hold, Then the
men began to jump of. All but one
jumped before the bottom of the in
cline was reached, and Patrick Burns
of Newark was killed after leaping
from the fast moving vehicle. The
man who stuck TO the ear was the least
injured, as he lost only two teeth.
Burns jumped at Gregory avenue,
where the old cable road had Il sta
ton He was hurled along over a lot
of broken stones. and finally his head
hit the station platform aud his skull
was crushed. Burns was IA member of
the construction gang which had NOV
ed the ear TO the tracks and had ac-
cepted the invitation to ride on the
first trip.
Among those severely hurt was John
Quayle. car inspector of Orange.
His left arm was shattered, and he
was so badly hurt internally he is not
expected to live.

4 Mrs TcEtfNddsen A1inAlot4ie Henry

AT the New York State Assembly of
Mothers, a prominent New York doctor
told the 500 women present that healthy
American women were so rare as to be
almost extinct.
This seems to be a sweeping state
ment of the condition of American
women. Yet how many do you know
who are perfectly well and do not have
some trouble arising from derange-
ment of the female organism which
manifests itself in headaches, back
aches, nervousness, that bearing-down
feeling, painful or irregular periods,
pelvic catarrh, displacement of the
female organs, indigestion or sleepless-
ness? There is tried and true remedy
for all these ailments. Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has re-
stored more American women to health
than all other remedies in the world.
1t regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases of the female organism as
nothing else can. For thirty years it
has been curing the worst forms of
female complaints.
Such testimony as the following
should be convincing.
Mrs. L. G. Willadsen, of Manning,
Ia, writes:
Dear Mrs Pinkham:-
II can truly say that you have saved my
life and l cannot express my gratitude to you
in words. For two years spent lots of money
in doctoring without any benefit for female
irregularities and 1 had given up all hopes of
ever being well again, but | was persuaded to
try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
and three bottles have restored me to perfect
health. Had it not been for you l would
have been in my grave to-day"

Cotton Letter.

Americus, GA Feb. 20.-Ik was COM
mon rumor this morning that the head
of the recentIy-formed 13c. syndicate
had sold out something like $4,000
bales of long cotton in Liverpool and
New York presumably at loss of $500,
600 to be charged to experience &C
count. At any rate, there were unex-
pec'edly heavy Iiauidations here at
the opening. Prices cut through the
previous low level to the extent of
about ten points. There was also q
general movement to take profits by
shorts, and it is probable that the mar.
ket as o whole is more nearly lIquida
ted on both sides of the account than
for many months past. Longs have
been forced out gradually by the big
decline, while shorts are still con-
tent to take down their profits and
await the next movement in prices
One of the causes of the recent demon
alizstlon was a rumor that spot houses
have given orders to sell March and
buy May to the extent of 10000 bales
or more at difference ranging from
90 to "a points between March
and May. The natural conclusion
is that these orders represent trans
for of hedges against our certif1cated
stock of ITO, 900 bales from March into
May whenever it can be made at diff
ferences sufficient to pay carrying
charges and interest, and the specuIa-
tive element must b. long of the equiv
alent number of bales of March cotton.
While such is, in our opinion, far
fetched there is no doubt that some
long interest still remains in March
and confidence will not be restored
until notice day is passed. The same
unsettled sentiment prevails in New
Orleans where notice day will arrive
three days earlier than in New York,
namely, Feb. 23rd. The notable fea-
ture of the day has been the large bus
mess transacted in spots in New Or
leans and while it may be argued that
big sales on declining market are
sisn OF weakness to holderp, still the
fact remains that the exporters and
consumers are taking the stuff when
they can get it at concessions and this
in the end will prove bull card.
Liverpool is due to come unchanged
to one higher in the morning.

When women are troubled with

ments, that bearing-down feeling, in

ton, and nervous prostration, or are
beset with such symptoms as dizziness,
faintness, lassitude, excitability irri-
liability, nervousness, sleeplessness.
melancholy, "all-gone" and ''want-to-
be-left-alone" feelings, blues, and hope
elessness, they should remember there
is one tried and true remedy. Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at
once removes such troubles. No other
medicine in the world has received such
unqualified endorsement. No other
medicine has such record of cures
of female troubles. Refuse to buy
any other medicine, for you need the
best.
Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women
to write her for advice. The present
Mrs. Pinkham is the daughter-in-law
