been little short of phenomenal. her novel

in nothing but her benevolence and her
luxuriant golden hair, is one Of England's
most cherished memories. Only last sum-

ing undeserved scandal upon herself and
almost alternating her from her husband,
who she adores. The play Is distinctly
modern and is faithful reflection of GER

A well-constructed play, filled with heart
interest will be seen at the Majestic Thea

company appears for the first time in an
excellent production of Dora Thorne." 1t

tractive characters
Miss Purnell, as Dora Thorne. the shy,
pretty daughter of Stephen Thorne is said
to have a part more particularly suited to
her than any she has thus far essayed. AS
the play progresses the characterized ton
calls for intense emotional acting, and in
this particular Miss Purnell finds herself
much at home. FRANKLIN Munnel is ex-

PoRFIRIo DIAZ PRESIDENT OF MEXICO.

Mexican government was in state of COM
plete Reorganization. At home bandits,and
professional revolutionists roamed from one
end of the country to the other and the
authorities were unable to put 4 stop to
their dcpradat.ons. Abroad the government
was without credit and burdened by an
excessive foreign bt 1t was unable to
obtain funds to carry out any development

and had but little training in the affairs
of government. K IS doubtful that he
realized the position Mexico was to take

st himself the task os bringing order out
OF the chaos in which he found everything
But Diaz had courage and faith in his
country, and or thesa principles he sue
cecded in extricating Mexico from its diff
ficulties.
one of the first things that the president
did was to bring about internal peace,
he realized that nothing could b. done until
life and property were made safe. 1t was
tremendous undertaking to reconcile all
the warning interests in Mexico at that
TIM. but Diaz did it, and without com

turesque and effective branches Of the
Mexican army service, the rurales,
mounted country police, was originally re-
Cruited with men who had been outlaws.
At the outset of his career Diaz realized
that the best manner Of preventing revo-
buttons was to have all parts of the country
brought into close communication by means
OF railways so that troops could be quickly
sent to the seat of any disoTd r, and it
was this fact that started Mexico on It's

What Has Diaz Gained.

Ard what has Porfirio Diaz gained out of
all this is q question that Is often asked
Icy people who are not familiar with con-
ditions in Mexico And they shrug their
shoulders when they are told that DiaZ
Is the one great exception to Central
American rulers. and has devoted his life
TO his country without endeaVor.ng TO en-
rich himself at the expense of its treasury.
He is without doubt the most absolute
ruler in the world today-his Will is SUI
preme and his power is maintained by
military organization that recognizes is
power. no man can say that Diaz has ever
abused il for his personal benefit, but must
acknowledge that he has been dictator
solely for his countrys good.
The Pre- sident is not a wealthy man, and
the stories that are often published in the
foreign press that he has many millions in
vested In the United States and abroad are
untrue. His annual salary is s25. 600 and 1t
is doubtful that he has been able TO save
any considerable amount from this sum-
He lives In very quiet and unostentatious
manner. He is a very early riser and may
be. seen driving riding in the suburbs of
the city almost any morning long before
the average citizen is awake. His own
home is in the center of the city, and is a
very modest building compared to the pal
aces which Mexican and American MIL
lionares are commencing to erect in Mexico
City For a few summer months he oc-
cupies the beautiful Castle OF Chapultepec
which is the official residence of the chief
executive. Gen. Diaz has been married

Romero Rubio DiaZ is most beautiful and
charming woman. She is devout Catholic,
although her distinguished husband is the
supreme commander Of the Masonic bodies
of Mexico, and is at the head of great
many charitable enterprises. The prcsi-
dents daughter is the wife of Senior Don
Ignacio de la Tore Mier member Of a
very distinguished Spanish family. and his
son. Capt. Porfirio Diaz jr., is a civil
engineer
President Diaz. despite his seventy-seven
years. is one of the most active men in
Mexico and accomrlishes tremendous
amount of work. Owing to the political
situation of his country he is compelled
to give every department of the govern
ment his closest attention. and not the
slightest detail escapes his observation.
Even the selection OF a school teacher In
an obscure village has to be brought TO his
knowledge. and he must personally sign the
appointment.
Diaz Has One Great Fault.
The only fault that can be found with
the president. and ii is q very serious fault
in the eyes of many people who are inter
ested in the future of the country is that
he Will not take a long vacation and give
Mexico chance to govern itself without
his assistance. Although the president is
in perfect health 1t is not to be considered
that he can remain at his post for many
years longer and SO the question is con-
tinually popping up, After Diaz-What?"
and IL will not be answered until the presi-
dent turns over the affairs OF the country
to his successor. DiaZ has been the one
man that has been able to keep Mexico in
line, and this he has been able to do by a
hand Of iron governed by a diplomats
skill. Many people who are thoroughly
familiar with conditions In Mexico believe
that If he should die suddenly without hav-
Ing trained some one to fill his place that
there would BE- serious trouble in front of
the country and that a disastrous revolu-
ton might be the result. The vice presi-
dent OF Mexico is Ramon Corral who has
been selected to wear the mantle of Diaz
but Corral has never been given an on
portunity to show whether or not he is
strong enough to follow in the footsteps of
ms INDUSTRIOUS predecessor. Many of Prest-
cent Dlazs supporters have urged upon
MIN the ACCESSIBILITY of his taking an ex-
tended trip abroad leaving the affairs of
the country In the hands of the vice presi-
dent In order to give him chance to show
"hat ne could do, but the president Is
obstinate, and will in all probability remain

So many false formulas and malicious statements concerning his medicines had been published through the con nivance of jealous competitors and dis gruntled doctors, that Or. Pierce deter mined to completely disarm his assail- ants by full and frank statement oi their exact composition, verifying the same under oath as complete and cor rect. This he has done and to the complete discomfiture of those who had assailed his good name as we'll as the well-earned reputation of his world famed medicines.
 Not only does the wrapper of every bottle of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, the famous medicine for weak stomach, torpid liver or bilious ness and all catarrhal diseases wherever located, have printed upon it, sn plain English, a full and complete list of all the ingredients composing it, but a small book has been compiled from numerous standard medical works, of all the different schools of practice, containing very numerous extracts from the writings of leading practitioners of medicine, endorsing to the strongest possible terms, each and every ingred- tent contained in Dr. Pierce's medi- cines. One of these little books will be mailed free to any one sending address on postal card or by letter, to Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y., and requesting the same. From this booklet it will be learned that Dr. Pierce's medicines con tain no alcohol, narcotics, mineral agents or other poisonous or injurious agents and that they are made from native, medicinal roots of great value; also that some of the most valuable in- gredients contained in Dr. Pierce's Fa- vorite Prescription for weak, nervous, over-worked, Nrun-down," nervous and debilitated women, were employed, long years ago by the Indians for similar ailments affecting their squaws. In fact, one of the most valuable medic inal plants entering into the compost ton of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip- ton was known to the Indians as rSquaw-Weed." Our knowledge of the uses of not few of our most valuable native, medicinal plants was gained from the Indians.
 As made up by improved and exact processes, and with the use of specially designed chemical apparatus, the "Fa- vorite Prescription is most efficient remedy for regulating all the womanly functions, correcting displacements, as prolapsus, anteversion and retroversion, overcoming painful periods, toning up the nerves and bringing about a perfect state of health.
