Panama-PreSldent Roosevelt start
ed at Z q. m. with Mrs. ROOse-
welt and the other members of his
party to make IN examination of the
Culebra cut. The weather was over
cast. threatening rain. At $3.50 the
presidential train arrived at Pedro
Miguel, where some steam shovels
were at work. The president had his
train stopped for the purpose of max
ing a personal examination. At this
point in the cut the peculiar soil con-
ditlOns have resulted in more or less
frequent landslidcs, and this fact was
brought to the presidents attention.
On a Steam Shovel.
President Roosevelt descended from
his train, and climbed up on one OF
the steam sho~els, taking Il seat along
side Engineer Gray, whom he sub
jectcd to a searching fire Of questions
regarding the work. During his con-
v~ersatiOn Engineer Gray took the op
portunity, on behalf OF himself and
other engineers, to declare that, un-
like the railroad engineers, they We're
not paid for overtime. The president
promised to look into this matter. He
stayed on the steam shovel about 20
minutes. BY this time 1t was raining
nard.
Wanted to See II All.
President Roosevelt told Chief En-
gineer Stevens that he wanted to see
all the works In connection with ex-
cavation, even to the temporary lay
ing of tracks. With this In view, he
boarded a work train near Pedro
Miguel, and went on to the next point
where steam shovels we're at work.
Here there was no danger OF land
slides.
The presidential train continued on
the regular line toward Panama. The
work OF the second steam shovels was
observed, and the president made a
detour to examine the site OF the Pedro
Miguel lock.
Shook Hands with Home Folks.
He shook hands with all the Amer.
leans he met while walking over the
ground. At about 9:25 the president
entered the deep portion OF Culebra
cut. his train going slowly In order
that he might observe the workings
II the drill machines and shovels. One
shovel was decorated with a sign read
Ing: I'VE will do our best to help you
build It,"
Torrents Of Rain.
The president spent some time In
the deepest portion OF the cut. where
last Sunday 20 tons OF explosives were
used to throw down $4,000 cubic yards
OF material. The rain was now com
Ing down In torrents. and the water
poured In rivulets down the funnel
shaped sides OF the famous cut. Sew
eral charges Of dynamite were explod
cd In order that the president nigh
see the effect. after which he wen
back to his own train.

Irish Home Rule.

Tie Intervention of the United States

ed some complex situations So far
little has been said about home rule in
the Philippines, although it is promis-
ed as soon as the natives are in a posi-
ton to govern themselves. Cubans have
been given a chance and so far have
not made a brilliant success of run
ming a republic Just at this time when
the whole country is watching the Stu

Ireland is again coming to the fore.
The Irish nationalists have broken
away from the English government,

The Valparaiso Calamity.

From authentic reports it seems that

damaged was proportionately as great
as in our San Francisco disaster. These

portance. both being gateways to and

fact. it is practically certain that home
rule bill will be introduced next year.
But il is also certain that the govern
ment, with due regard for the senti-
nent OF the English and Scotch cleo
toIate and with the knowledge that the
house of lords would surely defect such
a measure. will not put before parlia-
ment the bill which Mr.. Redmond de
mands. In short. the government would
compromise Ii would settle its obi
cations to the nationalists by paying so
cents on the dollar But the national
lists are no longer in the mood to take
half a loaf. holding it to be better than
mo bread. They want the debt dis
charged in full, and, failing that. they
are eager to fight.
Ii their revolt against the government
were confined entirely to the home rule
issue. il would have little effect. Allow
ing the entire Irish vote in the house
of commons to the uniOniStS minority
the government could still safely count
upon dominating every situation. But
the important labor contingent in the
house has also exhibited signs of dis
affection, and there are likewise evil
dences that the premier cannot keep
his liberal battalions in order. With
weakness apparent all along the line,
it is easy to understand how serious
will be the secession of more than 80
nationalist votes in any important cri-
sis. So far the big stick has not been
raised in Ireland's behalf.

All women work some in their
homes, some in church, and some in
the whirl of society. And in stores,
mills and shops tens of thousands are
on the never-ceaSing treadmill, earning
their daily bread.
All are subject to the same physical
laws; all suffer alike from the same
physical disturbance, and the nature of
their duties, in many cases, quickly
drifts them into the horrors of all
kinds of female complaints, tumors,
liberation, falling and displace-
ments or perhaps irregularity or
suppression, causing backache. ner-
vousness, irritability and lassitude.
They especially require an invigorat-
ing. sustaining medicine which will
strengthen the female organism and
enable them to bear easily the fatigues
of the day. to sleep well at night, and
to rise refreshed and cheerful.
How distressing to see a woman
struggling to earn a livelihood or per-
form her household duties when her
back and head are aching, she is so
tired she can hardly drag about or
stand up, and every movement causes
pain, the origin of which is due to
some arrangement of the female or
ganism.
Miss z. Orser. of IA Warrenton Street
Boston, tells women how to avoid such
suffering; she writes:
