Washington, Dec. 81. - Failure at
this time to increase materially the
compensation Of postotfice employees,
thus keeping pace with the advancing
wages in other lines of employment,
will seriously jeopardize the efficiency
of the service. This statement was
taken from the annual report of First
Assistant Postmaster General Hitch

new legislation to make the postal SER
vice under the circumstances more at
tractive in order to retain present en-
plOyes and as an incentive for good men
to enter the service is treated exten-
sively by Mr.. Hitchcock, who present a
plan for the consideration of congress.

increased at an alarming rate and the
standard of men going into the service

shows that in the first and second class
Offices there we're approximately 20, 900

FOG CAUSES WRECK.
Thirty-five Killed ard Many Injured ir
Suburb of Washington.

Washington, Dec. 31.-An appalling
disaster resulting in the death of about
/ 35 persons and injuries, as far as can
be learned, to about SO persons, occur
red about $50 o'clock last night on the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad at Terra
Gotta, a suburb of Washington. The
Frederick City, Md, local No. 66, on
the point of pulling out from the sta
ton, was run into by a train made up
entirely OF eight empty coaches bound
from the West for Washington.
The engineer could not see the block
on account of the heavy fog and plung-
ed ahead on his mission of death. A
dense fog and drizzling rain prevailed
during the day and the night and to
the inability of the engineer of the rear
train to see the signal showing that
another was in the block is attributed
the accident, The grade at the place
where the accident occurred is down
ward and the tracks were slippery.
The wrecked train was composed of
an engine, smoking car and two day
coaches. The two rear coaches were
reduced to kindling wood, and the rear
Of the smoker was telescoped. So great
was the impact that the local train was
scattered along the track for consd-
erable distance. Fortunately the wreck
age did not take fire.
Traffic was delayed by the accident,
and it was after midnight before the
bodies of the dead could be brought to
the city. There was an entire absence
of any attempts at theft. As soon as
possible the bodies were covered and
laid aside to await the coming of the
train sent from the city.
From the appearance of the bodies it
is believed that nearly all of the vic
TINS were killed outright or died with
in few minutes after the accident. |

Victoria, b. c., Dec 81. - Advices

MRS. ELVA BARBER EDWARDS

There are three critical stages in a
woman's life which leave their mark
, IN her career. The first Of these stages
is womanhood, or the change from a
care free girl to budding womanhood,
The second is motherhood, and the
third is Change of Life.
Peri1s surround each of these stages.
and most of the misery that comes
to women through i'll health dates
from one or another of these i'm
portant crises.
Women should remember that Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
made from native roots and herbs has
carried thousands of young girls over
the critical period of>puberty, has
prepared mothers for hildbirth, and
in later years carried them safely
through the change of life more sue
cessfully than any other remedy in
the world. Thousands of testimonials
from grateful persons, two of which
are here published, substantiate this
fact beyond contradiction.
