MUTUAL LIFE TAKES ACTION.

President Peabody Sues Ex-0mcials
 to Recover Millions.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 20. = The first shadow of the hand of retribution has fallen on the ex-chiefs of the Mutual Life Insurance company.
 President Peabody of that company, the money of whose policy holders was so regally appropriated by the McCur- dys and their connections, has brought suit against Richard A. McCurdy, his son Robert H.. Louis A. Thebaud and Charles H. Raymond to compel the res toration' of the millions of loot taken from the treasury of the company in excessive salaries, inordinate commits sions, contributions to political funds and shady syndicate transactions.
 This suit, filed on the very eve of the intended departure of.the former insur- ance president and his entourage to join Hamilton, Hyde and the other in surance expatriates in Paris, is of par ticular significance.
 In Wall street it was reported that the McCurdys had actually been in- dicted for frauds and were facing criminal trial.
 It is remarkable thing that more than a year has elapsed since the cur tain was drawn that shielded the car nival of corruption and lust in the in- surance world and yet this is the first court proceeding. Public sentiment has been overwhelming against the insur- ance thieves, and they have almost to a man been driven from office. Many have made voluntary personal restitu- ton of at least part of their pillage.

There are cases where an operation Is the only resource, but when one con- siders the great number of cases of menacing female troubles cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Con- pound after physicians have advised operations, no woman should submit to one without first trying the Vegetable Compound and writing Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass, for advice, which is free.
 Miss Margret Merkley, of PTS Third Street, Milwaukee, Wis, writes: Dear Mrs Pinkham:
 Loss of strength, extreme nervousness, shooting pains through the pelvic organs, bearing down pains and cramps compelled me to seek medical advice. The doctor, aftes making an examination, said l had female trouble and alteration and advised an opera tion. To this strongly objected and decided to try Lydia B. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound. The alteration quickly healed, all the bad symptoms disappeared and am once more strong, vigorous and well"
 Female troubles are steadily on the increase among women. If the month ly periods are very painful, CT too ire quent and excessive-if you have pain or swelling low down in the left side, bearing-down pains, don't neglect your self: try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

When a physician tells a woman sui fering with serious feminine trouble that an operation is necessary, the very thought of the knife and the operating table strikes terror to her heart, and our hospitals are full of women coming for just such operations.

set aside for the time being and the work
of the present must be taken up in
earnest
The exercises were opened with prayer
by Rev. c. L. Bonner of Tocco. Ga The
general theme at the session this morning
was "Deneminational and Religious Re-
suits"
Baptist Publication Society.
The first speaker introduced was Rev. A.
American Baptist Publication Society of
Philadelphia.
In the course of his address he said: at
is somewhat difficult to give exact facts and
figures in the work done by the American
Baptist Publication Society for the negro.
as the society has never drawn the color
line race line. and has kept no separate
records accounts with the different peo-
Piles among whom it has labored. When
the society was asked for aid it has never
stopped to inquire whether the applicant
was white or black"
He said soon after the civil wax, when the
negroes were freed from slavery. many
sought the aid of benevolent societies, and
that many negro ministers were secured to
aid in the uplifting of the race. In the past
forty years there never has been a time
when the society has not had in It's sery-
Ice from five to fifteen devoted negro breth-
rem working colDorteurS or Sunday school
missionaries among their own people and
the amount expended annually has been
about $250.000.
These missionaries have established hun
dreds of Sunday schools, and have carried
to the homes of thousands of people good
books and the Bible. all of which Is due to
the self-saerifcing work of these mission
aries
