seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed of wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1s43 she married Isaac Pinkhan,
a builder and real estate operator. and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and =
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days it
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in physician only in specially
urgent cases. BY tradition and ex-
perience many of them gained Won
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics Of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest
in the study Of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just rs nature 50
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; 80, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies ex-
pressly designed to cure the various
Ills and weaknesses of the body, and
it was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple and effective medi-
cines for her own family and friends.
Chief OF these was rare combira-
ton of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu-

hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them:
All this so far was done freely, with
out money and without price, as .
labor Of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. It's length and severity were too
much for the large real estate interests
of the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression. so when the Centen.
NAL year dawned it found their prop
erty swept away. Some other source
of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound was made known
to the world.

NO DAWDLING
A Man of 20 After Finding Coffee
Hurt Him, Stopped Short.

When a man has lived to be 70
years old with a 40-year-old habit
grown to him like knot on a tree,
chances are he'll stick to the habit
till he dies.
But occasionally the spirit Of youth
and determination remains in some
men to the last day of their lives.
When such men do find any habit OF
life has been doing them harm, they
surprise the Oslerites by degree OF

STONE FENCES DISAPPEARING.
In Connecticut They Are Bought Up
for Euildino Materials

In Connecticut They Are Bought Up
for Building Materials
Connecticut's stone fences are
doomed and before many years these
picturesque features of the rural Sec
tions of the State will be but mem
ory. The popularity Of stone houses
and the increase in the number or
summer homes have led to the utlll'
zation of the stone fences for build
ing purposes.
In place of the stone fences are
miles OF wire fences.
When New Workers began to sees
the country in the summer time Con
neeticut became dotted with an ever
increasing number of costly cottages,
for the construction of which stone
was the best and most durable mater
ial. Then it was that the builders
turned to the fences, from waich stone
could be obtained without the labor OF
ouarrying. Contractors went ABOUT
buying up stone fences, and farmers,
eager to realize on this crop that their
ancestors had titled fer them, foull
that even after new wire fences had
been put up they had good profit
from the sale Of the stones. Farmers
like wire fences, too, because they
take up practically no room. and can
be kept clean, whereas the stcce
fences were fringed b. weeds and
bushes that could never be moved or
ploughed out.
In any other State the wire fences
would not be unattractive, bIt here
they seem strangely out of place, and
to lovers of old time Connecticut tho
absence of the stone fences will be
loss that the handsome modern
country places cannot compensate fos

NORTHERN SECURITIES CASE.
House Would Know If Any CrimiaI
 Prosecutions Have Been Begun.

Washington, March 5.-Legislation by unanimous consent and under suspen- sior of the rules occupied the attention of the house to-day and resulted in the passage of several bills some of consid- eraible importance. The adoption of resolution of inquiry as to whether any criminal prosecutions have been begun against individuals in the Northern Se- curities company, furnished the text for a speech of criticism by MT. Will Hams, the democratic leader, directed against the administration. Brief an- swers were made by MT. Jenkins of Wisconsin and MT. Grosvenor of Ohio. Mr. Jenkins showed that the statute of limitations had run against any ac- tion that might be taken in this case and that any effort at prosecution would be useless

 Efforts to Float Her

Wilmington. N C., March 5.-While proceeding to sea Saturday evening the Clyde line steamer Navahoe, Captain c. l.. Hale was caught in a south west gale just inside the Cape Fear bar and driven ashore on Middle Shoal about the same location where the schooner General Adelbert Ames found- cred about three weeks ago. Unsuc- cssful efforts were made by the United States revenue cutter Seminole, the tugs Marion and Blanche, and the steamer Compton to float the vessel Sunday and again to-day with the further assist ance of the Standard Oil tug Astral. The vessel Is drawing seventeen feet of water and is hard ashore in seven feet at low water The cargo, consisting principally of lumber and naval stores. is being lightered and further attempt will be made to float the vessel on high tide tomorrow morning. The vessel is lying easy and is in no peril with favorable weather. Seymour Merrill of Wilmington was the only passenger aboard and returned to this city on the tugs, proceeding by rail to New York. The weather was extremely rough Sat urday night. The night was dark and there was driving rain storm.
 Captain Hale says it was impossible for him to keep his bearings and about 2 o'clock the steamer was driven hard and fast, the bow of the vessel being headed in.

Clean Cut Entertainment Furnished by
 Anchor Club Last Might.

A clean and enjoyable exhibition of boxing was given last night at the Maple auditorium, corner of State and Court streets, under the auspices of the Anchor club Nearly LOGO persons attended. All were satisfied with the entertainment furnished, and the man. agers certainly demonstrated that ex- hibittons of the manly art can be given in good, clean-cut style All the exhib- itions were between lightweights, the first being that of Button Bunch and James Maher of this city. The former had the best of it, but as the exhibf- ttons are conducted the same as in Philadelphia no decision was given. The next was between Alderman of Waterbury and Dillon of New London, and It was as pretty a show of boxing as has been seen in this city in long time. The star event was to have been between Moses King of New London and Bob Adler of New York, but owing to the latter having been injured last week Tommy Moran of Brooklyn was substituted. No one could complain of the accounting Moran gave of himself, and it is doubtful if Adler even could have done so well. The boxing was swift and clean from start to finish, with honors about even. All the events, except the first, which was five rounds, were ten rounds.

 Algeciras, Spain, March 5.-This aft ernoon's sitting of the conference on Moroccan reforms was marked by an unexpected and important move on the part of the Russian delegates wflo laid before the conference an exposition or the police question.
 The document, which minutely goes over the existing situation in Morocco and analyses the position of the various powers, concludes with an argument for the proposition that France and Spain are the most fit.to be entrusted with the task of controlling the police force which is about to be created.
 The British, Spanish and Portuguese delegates expressed their concurrence in the Russian views. Italy, however though inclined to favor the scheme, re- served final approval Count von Tat terbach, the junior German delegate; Henry White, the chief of the Ameri- can delegation and the delegates of the several neutral powers did not express their views.
 Discussion of definite police proposals was postponed until Thursday, while the bank project will be argued on Wednesday.
 The French and British delegates to the conference regard to-day's expres- sions from the Mediterranean powers as likely to exert great influence on the final vote of the neutrals relative to the policing of Morocco
