to detail them, he said there had been
obligations of chastity, sacrifice and
vengeance. The witness said that this

to avenge the blood Of the prophet

No other female medicine in the;
world has received such widespread.

The needless suffering of women from
diseases peculiar to their sex is terrible
to see. The money which they.pay to-
doctors who do not help them is an
enormous waste. The pain is cured
and the money is saved by Lydia re-

The present Mrs. Pinkham is the

When Irving Was Turned Down.
Bran Stoker, who for many years
vas connected with the management
OF the late Sir Henry Irving, tells OF
an amusing incident which occurred
during the players tour of the Middle
West.
It appears that Irving, in order to
break a 'long jump" from Chicago to
another city, was desirous OF securing
for one night the theatre OF a town IN
Indiana. Accordingly, Stoker wired
the individual who was both proprie-
tor and manager Of the playhouse IN
question, requesting that Sir Henry
be given a nights engagement.
In a short while Mr.. Stoker recelV-
ed the following: Does Irving pa
rade?' When shown this. the distin-
euished Briton was much amused. He
directed Stoker to reply that irving
was a tragedian, not minstrel"
The further reply came, Don't want
irving unless he parades." ,

FAMILY MURDERED
Husband, Wife and Son Were
Found Butchered in Home.
THE WORK OF ROBBERS
Heinous Crime Was Committed Near
Dothan, Alabama Citizens Are
Aroused and Thirsting for
Vengeance.

Weltering in a big pool Of their
own blood, their heads almost severed
from their bodies, the dead bodies Of
J. M. Christmas, his wife and son were
discovered at an early hour Wednes-
day morning at their home near Cot
tonwood, Ala. The crime was commit
ted some time during Tuesday night,
and robbery is supposed to have been
the motive. Details are rather mea-
gre, and it is believed that no def
mite clew has yet been obtained.
The murdered man and his family
were very popular in the Cottonwood
neighborhood, and residents Of that
section took prompt action. A tele-
phone message to Mariana, Fla,
brought bloodhounds, and deputy sher-
ifs from Dothan went to the scene.
A reward Of $1,000 for. the capture
Of the perpetrators has already been
offered. Feeling against the murderers
is intense, and if they are captured
a lynching is not improbable.
Some terrible crimes have darkened
the history of the vicinity, but none
quite so revolving as this, and the
people who have known Mr.. Christ
mas and his family as neighbors all
their lives are possessed with anger,
which may prove understandable.

WAS QUINN 0USTED?
Because of His Partially Toward
Greene and Gaynor, is Question
Savannah People Want Settled.

Lieutenant Colonel J. B. Quinn, who,
for three years, has been in charge
of the river and harbor work Of the
Savannah district, under the chief en-
gineers of the army at Washington,
has been ordered from duty at Sa-
vannah, to relieve Major Chittenden,
at Sioux City, Iowa, and assume
charge Of government works on the
Missouri river and in the Yellowstone
park. Major Cassius E. Gillette is
ordered to- succeed him. .-
Now comes a story that this trans
fer was directed by the war depart
ment at the request of the depart
ment of Justice, and that the motive
of the request grows ont of the fact
that Colonel Quinn took view con-
trary to that Of the department Of
justice and that Of Major Gillette and
others connected with the govern
ment relative to the improvements
made on the rivers and harbors Of
the Savannah district by Greene and
Gaynor, who are now on trial In tht
federal court on charges of. conspiracy
with former Captain o. M. Carter to
defraud the government out of mil.
lions. !:
Colonel Quinn dared, some months
ago, to give an interview, in which
he stated that it was his opinion as
an engineer that the work done by
Greene and Gaynor was according to
specifications in their contracts and
Of a satisfactory character. He has
been summoned as witness for the
defense in the present trial, and in
due time is to take the stand. This
evidence will be directly contrary to
that of Major Gillette, whom Colonel
Quinn succeeded, and who is relied
upon as one of the strongest witnesses
the government will have.
Only Thursday did this condition OF
affairs become generally known,
and at once the Savannah chamber Of
commerce adopted the following res
olu ions, addressed to Senator Bacon
and Senator Clay:
"Since forwarding our former reso-
lutions, it has come to our knowledge
from a most authentic source that the
removal Of Colonel Quinn from this
field of labor was at the instance and
on the request of the department Of
justice.
1T is obvious that the last named
department has no knowledge Of the
engineering work Of the Savannah har.
Dor, or of the administration Of the
same by Colonel Quinn, therefore such
request clearly cannot be based on
any objection to Colonel Quinn as an
engineer or to the administration OF
the harbor work here.
knowing that at this juncture any
change in engineers will be very in
furious to the interests of this port,
and in making this statement we wish
to say that we intend no reflection
upon any one, we respectfully request
the senators from Georgia to take all
necessary steps to ascertain the facts
pertaining to this removal, and to this
end to call for all correspondence
and documents relating to this mat
ter, so Colonel Quinn may be retained
here If possible"

About Egg Boiling.

ABOUT Egg EOIlnC.
Many people boil eggs to their liking
by placing the eggs in cold water,
which is allowed to come to the boiling
point. One housekeeper at least uses
the same method for poached eggs,
taking them from the almost boiling
water perfectly cooked.
