The robbers were flung to the deck

Again the crew and passengers

Owing TO modern methods OF living

annoying aud sometimes painful

This Is the most critical period Of
her whole existence and every woman
who neglects the care Of her health
at this time invites disease and pain.
When her system is in q deranged
condition or she Is predisposed to
apoplexy or congestion of any organ.
the tendency Is at this per d
likely to become active and with q
host Of nervous irritations make life q
burden. At this time also cancers
and tumors are more liable to form
and begin their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as sense
OF suffocation. hot flashes, headaches,
backaches, melancholia, dread of i'm
pending evil, palpitation of the heart.
Irregularities. constipation and dizzi-
ness are promptly needed by intel

AMERICAN SHIPPERS WARNED
Fail often 20 Exercise Due Care in
Packing Valuable Goods
for Transit.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2s.-Trafic managers
of the steamship lines with regular SER
vices to Central and South American ports
and tho West Indies, have decided to make
an united effort to impress the exporters
of American goods with the feet that their
methods OF packing are not up to modern
English and German standards and that
II they expect to make headway in this
trade they must compete on an equal baNs.
Circulars to this effect are being widely
distributed among merchants and ex-
portsrs,
An example OF the bad packing Of Ameri-
can goods is shown in a recent consular
report from Foo Chow, China, to which
222 separate pieces OF stained cathedral
glass were shipped for use in memorial
church there. When the shipment arrived
It was found that out of the entire lot only
sixteen pieces were free from damage. As
the church in which they were to be used
was nearing completion, and not enough
of undamaged glass could be found for any
one window, a fresh order had to be
sent to the United States and delay of
five or six months must necessarily ensue
before the building can be dedicated and
used.

NEW YORK, Aug 29.-Having gone
through a rather arduous round OF social
duties in New England, and having dis
charged his official obligations by a visit
to President Roosevelt at oyster Bay,
Prince Wilhelm of Sweden will spend the
rest of his time here as informally as he
can. He has visited Coney Island already
and he took in most of the shows when
he went there, a big crowd following him
about After the prince had returned from
Oyster Bay yesterday a bicycle policeman
halted an automobile containing the Swed-
ish minister, a Swedish naval officer. a se-
cret service detective and a chauffeur on
Broadway, on the ground that the chauf-
feur was exceeding the speed limit. Not
withstanding the protests OF the detective
the chauffeur was arrested by the police
man, which necessitated Baron De Lager
crantz going to the station house to ex-
plain to the police lieutenant that the chauf-
feur meant no harm. The prisoner was
released out of courtesy to the minister
Prince Wilhelm Of Sweden learned today
that John Person, one OF the sailors OF
the Fylgia, had fallen overheard from a
landing in the Hudson river and was very
nearly drowned. After being In the river
for a quarter of an hour the sailor was
rescued and taken to hospital The doc
tors said Person would recover II pneu-
monia did not result from his immersion.
The prince said he wanted to visit the
sailor and 1t was arranged that he should
do so at p. m. Afterward the prince
planned to visit the financial district. This
afternoon twenty officers and ninety men
of the crew of the Fylgia will go to the
horse races at the Empire City track as
guests OF the track officials. The prince,
however, will not accompany them.
