Desire Authority to
Run Asphalt Block Industry.

In connection with their annual estimates,
Enissioners asked authority from Congress

II is stated that Congress at the last
session made an appropriation Of $4,000
Tor laying sheet asphalt on streets and
avenues inside the city limits, and $23-
noe upon suburban streets, at the same time
specifying that the District should pay
mo-, more than $160 per yard for the work
When the money became available the
Commissioners invited bids and two pro-
pokalS were received-the Crawford Paw
Ing Company Offering to lay sheet asphalt
~ 1892 per yard, and the Brennan Con-
straction Company setting a price OF $1.65
per yard for asphalt on condition that the
Eommi ssioners would also give them the
contract for laying vitrihed brick cutters
nj 81 % per yard-this latter item being
nj q price more than double what is ordin-
arfy paid for vitrified brick work.
Bath bids were rejected, and proposals
bciRg again invited the Crawford company
repeating its previoes offer. stating at the
same time that Congress had set SO low

could not be done at a profit. Subsequent

chatting with a playmate and mother and
his own mother He had devoted cOnsidera-

IRVING WAS TURNED DOWN

Bran Stoker, who for many years
was connected with the management
of the late Sir Henry Irving, tells of
an amusing incident which occurred
during the players tour, of the Mid
die West.
1t appears that Irving, in order to
break a 'long jump from. Chicago
to another city, was DESTROYS of Sc
curing for one night the theatre Of a
town in Indiana. Accordingly, Sto-
ker wired the individual who was
both proprietor and manager of the
play house in question, requesting
that Sir Henry Irving be given a
night s engagement.
In a short time Mr.. Stoker receiv-
ed the following: "Does Irving pa

tinguIshed Briton was much amused
He directed Stoker to reply that CIR

FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS.

+ This story was told of former May
or Clark, of Burlington, VT, who was
known for his use Of big words.
One day before starting for the
city, he called John, his colored farm
hand, and said, pointing to a field
strewn with fence rails and inclosed
by the same kind of fence: "John,
I'm going to the city this morning.
l want you to accumulate all those
rails while / am gone"
John answered, eyes, sir,' but,
not knowing what was meant by ac-
cumulate, he hailed passerby and
told him his trouble. This stranger,
knowing Mr.. Clark's peculiarities,
told him his orders meant to gather
into large pile all the rails in sight
and burn them. So John gathered
into large pile all Of the fence rails
he could find, both loose and in fences
and burned them.-Cleveland Leader

restore the family fortune. They
argued that the medicine which was
so good for their woman friends and
neighbors was equally good for tho
women of the whole world.
The Pinkhams had no money, and
little credit. Their first laboratory
was the kitchen, where roots and
herbs were STEPPED on the stove,
gradually filing gross of bottles.
Then came the question of selling
it. for always before they had given
printer to run off some pamphlets
setting forth the merits of the medi-
cine, now called Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, and these were
distributed by the Pinkham sons in
Boston, New York, and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties Of
the medicine We're, to a great extent,
self-advertising, for whoever used it
recommended it to others, and the de-
mand gradually increased.
In 1877, by combined efforts the fam
lily had saved enough money to COM
mence newspaper advertising and from
| that time the growth and success OF
| the enterprise We're assured, until to-
day Lydia E. Pinkham and her Vege-
table Compound have become house,
hold words everywhere, and many
| tons of roots and herbs are used annu-
ally in it's manufacture.
Lydia e. Pinkham herself did not
| live to see the great success of this
work. She passed to her reward years
ago, but not till she had provided
means for continuing her work as
effectively as she could have done it
herself.
During her long and eventfu1 expe-
rience she was ever methodical in her
work and she was always careful to pre-
serve record of every case that came TO
her attention. The case of every sick
woman who applied to her for advice
and there were thousands-received
careful study. and the details, includ-
| ing symptoms, treatment and results
were recorded for future reference, and
| to-day these records, together with
hundreds of thousands made since, arc
/ available to sick women the world
over, and represent vast collAbora-
ton of information regarding the
treatment of woman's ills, which for
authenticity and accuracy can hardly
be equaled in any library in the
world
| With Lydia E. Pinkham worked her
daughter : in law, the present Mrs.
| flQknam. Snc was carefully lnSCI ucJeQ
in all her hard-won knowledge, and
for years she assisted her in her vast
correspondence.
To her hands naturally fell tho
direction of the work when it's origina-
tor passed away. For nearly twenty
. five years she has continued it, and
nothing in the work shows when the
first Lydia e. Pinkham dropped her
pen, and the present Mrs. Pinkham,
now the mother of a large family, took
it up. With women assistants, some az
capable as herself, the present Mrs.
Pinkham continues this great work and
probably from the Office of no other
person have SO many women been ad-
vised how to regain health. Sick wo-
men, this advice is yours for Health"

In 1S43 she married Isaac Pinkham,
a builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and a
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days 1t
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 as nature so
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; so, 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
and prepare simple and effective medi-
cines for her own family and friends.
Chief of these was rare combina.
