Would Not Mind Interference.
The emperor, also, would not mind the
interference of the powers, provided such
an interference would tend to strengthen
his royal family against the aggressive
cliques and nepotists into which his court
has been divided, causing unceasing dis
turbances and strife within the walls of the
royal palace. Some of these factions stand
by Japan, some favor Russian influence,
while some cherish the old idea of a
Chinese-Korean union-of which may
speak to you at another time-each with
the view of utilizing the assistance of out
side powers in its efforts to enthrone a
puppet prince under fits influence.
why, l ask. should the emperor rejoice
over declaration of Independence of his
country when his throne would not be
made a straw safer by It? Such anomalous
political conditions all conspired to pervert
the character OF the emperor. who has been

HOW TO LOOK BEAUTIFUL.
Young women or matrons should
not allow themselves to look sallow
and wrinkled because of those pains
and weaknesses which become
chronic and are the result of colds,
tight lacing and the imprudent care
of the womanly system Many a
woman would look beautiful, have
healthy color and bright eyes if it
were not for those drains on her
strength and those weaknesses
which come all too frequently and
make her life miserable. There Is
a readyto-use Prescription, used a
great many years by Dr. r. V.
Pierce in his large practice as Spec
cialist in women's diseases, which is
not like the many patent medi-
cines" on the market, as it contains
neither alcohol nor any narcotic, or
other harmful drug. 1t is purely
vegetable. 1t is known as DIR.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription and
is sold by druggists.

The first lesson that the young
girl has of womanhood is usually
painful zone. She learns to know
what headache means, and back
ache, and sometimes is sadly borne

oftentimes carries the whole burden
of responsibility so far as the home

women every ingredient of which
has the unanimous endorsement of
all the leading medical writers of this
country, recommending it for the
cure of the very same diseases for
which this Prescription" is advised.
MOTHERS LOVE
A mothers love is so divine that
the toughest man cannot help but
appreciate it as the crown of woman
hood. However, motherhood is
often looked forward to with feelings
OF great dread by most women. AT
such times a woman is nervous,
dyspeptic, irritable, and she is i'll

Miscreant Throws vitriol on Girls.

Baltimore police are making diligent
search for man who has been reported
from time to time as having thrown vitrioi
upon girls in that city. His operations have
extended over considerable period, and
up to last Friday fourteen complaints had
been recorded against him. Saturday he
added nine more to the number OF his little
victims. He works chiefly In the poorer
districts. and in nearly every case reported
the vitriol has been thrown upon the skirt
or stockings OF a girl Of fourteen years
of age or less. The action of the chemical
used Is slow enough to permit the man
to escape before the effect OF his work be-
comes apparent to the victim. and the police
have little IN the way of description to aid
them Most of the cases reported have oc-

Wickedness of Coast Cities.

There are many who express the opinion
that God has melted out punishment because
of the extreme wickedness of the coast
cities II this view Is correct one, then
we must conclude that the work of punish
ment and destruction is yet very incom-
plete, for surely the wickedness OF all cities
must be very offensive to Almighty God.

The members of the miners committee of
seven. Thomas Dettrey. president of District 7.
and J. Hartlein. secretary of District g. of the
Anthracite Mine Workers, who started home
yesterday morning Were summoned in haste by
Mitchell and returned to the Ashland House
last night. 1t appears that Mitchell fearing
there might be something in the report that
President Baer of the Jersey Central Railroad
had gone TO Washington to talk coal with
President Roosevelt, decided to bring them back
again so that the full committee could be on
hand in case of emergency.
The representatives of the anthracite coal
carrying companies who attended the confer
ence with the anthracite miners scale commit
tee, It was announced yesterday will meet next
week TO take up the demands of the miners
None of the anthracite operators would state the
exact day President Wilcox OF the Delaware
and Hudson Company said that the meeting
would be held some time next week. but would
say nothing as to the nature OF the demands.
It is expected that the meeting will be held
Tuesday. when President Baer of the Jersey
Central Railroad usually comes to the Jersey
Central Offices No. 143 Liberty street. Mr. Baer
it was learned paid a flying visit TO New-York
Wednesday and spent some time at the Jer-
sey Central building. At the Jersey Central
offices it was said that he had come to see the
minor officials in relation to traffic regulations

here he had a personal talk with President Cas-
satt of the Pennsylvania Railroad on the an

by President Roosevelt to meet him at the
