NOW DECLARED THAT
HARTMAN DESIRED
TO BECOME SENATOR
By Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, April 3.-Secretary
Loeb said today that there would not
be any further announcement from the
president bearing upon the issue be-
tween him and Mr.. Hartman growing
out of the conferences and letters be-
tween the two in the latter part of
1906, which were made public yesterday.
1t was authoritatively declared today
at the White House that the real rea-
son for Mr.. Harriman's interest in the
election of the state ticket in New
York in 1904, reference to which was
made in the communications which
passed between him and the president,
was that he desired to advance his own
ambitions.
1t is asserted that Mr. Hartman
wanted the position of senator, now
filled by Mr.. Depew, and that this was
the reason why he was anxious TO have
him appointed as ambassador to Paris.
The inference from Mr.. Harriman's s
attitude. according to a statement made
at the White House, was that II Depew
could be induced to go TO Paris that
Governor Higgins was prem red to ap-
point him TO the vacancy

Christian Scientists you understand the
scriptures, Fret not thyself because of
evil doers.' Also you spiritually and
scientifically understand that God is d.
vine love, omnipotent omnipresent, in
finite, hence it is enough for you and
me to know that our Redeemer liveth
and intercedeth for us.
"At this period my demonstration of
Christian Science cannot be fully
understood theoretically, therefore it is
best explained by its fruits and by the
life of our Lord as depicted. in the chap

DIME FROM
 EACH UNION MAN

Milwaukee, Wis, Oct. 23-Plans to levy a general assessment of ten cents a week upon every working member of a labor union in the United States are being considered at national convention of striking telegraphers here today Labor leaders and officials of international unions are here in large numbers, as well as representa- tives of the Commercial Photographers locals in all the large cities of the country. President Gompers and the other supreme officers of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor will decide upon the question of calling out the railroad telegraphers in a sympathet- ic strike. It is stated that the latter are anxious to join the commercial men, and are ready to leave their keys at a moments notice Such ac- tion would paralyze the business of the country, and it is not likely to be adopted except as last resort. Officials of the Commercial Tele- graphers' union declare that the peaceful methods of the strikers and the attitude of the telegraph company officials in rejecting all attempts at reconciliation and arbitration have won for the former the sympathy of l the public, and that with this support 1 they will win in the end. Union men all over the country are said to be | anxious to prolong the telegraph i strike until the men secure at least partial victory, and will willingly submit to an assessment for this pur- pose, should it be decide upon. A. ready the half-million union workmen of New York are contributing enough to keep the strikers of the metropolis in food and clothing, and many o:he- cities are voluntarily following this ex- ample. The contribution of s65 900 made by the Order of Railroad Te,e- graphers is beginning to come in, and a considerable amount still remains
 in the treasury of the strikers.
 The attempt of President Small to call off the strike is severely criticis ed by the strikers and labor leaders, and an attempt will probably be made to oust him from office at the present meeting.
 Daniel l.. Russell, chairman of the l board of strategy of the strikers de- clares that the men are ready at all times to submit to any fair method of arbitrating their difficulties with the , Western Union and Postal companies.
 If plan were proposed said Mr. Russell, whereby the telegraphers were allowed to select one of the ar biters, the companies another and the two so selected to choose q third, feel that it would be satisfactory to 1 the strikers"

''I am not feeling very well,' II am so nervous it seems as though 1 should fy.' My back aches as though it would break"
 How often do you hear these signi- fcant expressions from wom e Il friends. More than likely you speak the same words yourself, and there is cause.
 More than thirty years ago Lydia B. Pinkham of Lynn, Mass. discovered the source of nearly all the suffering endured by her sex. "Woman's Ills" these two words are full of more misery to women than any other two words that can be found in the English language. Sudden fainting, depression of spirits. reluctance to go anywhere, backaches, headaches, nervousness, sleeplessness, bearing down sensations, displacements and irregularities are the bane of woman = existence.
 The same woman who discovered the cause of all this misery also discovered remedy. Lydia E. Pink. hams Vegetable Compound made from native roots and herbs holds the record for greater number of absolute cures of female ills than any other one remedy the world has ever known and it is the greatest blessing which ever came into the lives of suffering women.
 Don't try to endure, but cure the cause of all your suffering. Lydia F. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once removes such troubles. The following letters prove this

Ing closed his snake hatchery for the win
ter. Abe said today that he was well
pleased with the success of his ventures.
His sales have been large, especially In
hoop snakes. When asked about the hoop
snakes and why the demand for them was
so large he said, with a hin of a smile:
4 thought most everybody knew about
hoop snakes. He then explained that
when a hoop snake travels he sticks his
tail In his mouth and rolls like a boys
hoop.
That's how / conceived the idea OF
breeding hoop snakes, and my sales have
been chiefly among rich New Workers, who
buy them for their children. tried to
cross the breed this year with rattle
snakes. so that the ratties would serve
for the bells used on the ordinary wooden
hoop. / managed TO produce one with
three rattles. 1t was proud or It's rattles
and we made a great pet Of 1t. / think
that's what spoiled It.
My boy kept at me until let him take
1t outside and roll it for a hoop. The
boy was so delighted with the sound OF
the rattles as he went along the road that
he became excited and hit II with a stick
harder than he intended, and blamed II he
didn't drive Its tail 50 far down Its throat
tbat IL swallowed ITSELF
Abe says he Will continue the experiment
