MISS GRACE {. MILLER

~ am not feeling very WELL" II

should fly my back aches as though
II would break"
How often do you hear these signi-
flcant expressions from won n
friends. More than likely you speak
the same words yourself, and there
IL q cause.
More than thirty years ago Lydia
d. Pinkham Of Lynn, Mass. discovered
the source of nearly all the suffering
endured by her sex. "Womans 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
90 anywhere, backaches, headaches,
nervousness, sleepleasness, bearing
down sensations, displacements and
Irregularities are the bane of woman's
existence.
The same woman who discovered
the cause of all this misery also
discovered a remedy. Lydia 3. 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 1t 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 e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at
once removes such troubles. The
following letters prove this

These figures indicate that the
postoffice department has made a mis-
take in attributing most of the abuse
of the second class rate to sample
copies, or else the count Of sample
copies is wrong.
Congress probably will create an
other body to take up the work inau-
gurated by the recent commission
and 1t is probable that discussion and
study of the proposed postal code may
suggest notifications, which will clear
a way out of existing complications.

Chicago. Feb. 23.-The anniversary
Of the birth Of George Washington

The majority Of the downtown bust
ness houses were closed during the
greater part Of the day and the board
Of trade and the banks did not open.
The principal celebration Of the
day was In the hands Of the Union
League club, which has for many
years made feature Of patriotic exer-
cises on February 20. In the morn
Ing exercises were held in the Audi
torium under the auspices Of the club
at which President John H. Finley Of

was the principal speaker. Friday
evening q banquet was held at the

chief speakers
Ex-President Grover Cleveland was
the orator of the day at the celebra-
ton Of the anniversary Of the birth
of George Washington which Is an
nually held under the auspices Of the
Union League club Of this city.
Mr.. Cleveland addressed an audi
ence which filled the great Auditor
ium, and his Grafton was greeted with
every manifestation of approval. He
dwelt less upon the history and |
achievements Of Washington than
upon the soundness Of his
political faith, and the accuracy Of
his economic wisdom. The prosper

TO THEFT OF
COPPER INGOT
Palmer Admits ROhhing |. '. R.
R. Car and Names Junkman
Who Bought II He Says.
WARRANT OUT FOR PURCHASER

After being put through a severe
cross examination by Chief Burke
yesterday Charles Palmer, twenty-six
years old, who was arrested at the
home of his brother, 247 Prospect
street early Saturday morning, con-
fessed that he had robbed the Lehigh
Valley Railroad Company of some
copper.
Palmer was arrested on n warrant
which was sworn out by Alex. Bo-
linski, who charged Palmer with rob-
bing his till. Palmer said that he
had not taken any money from the
till, as there was none in the drawer
that he opened. Chief Burke says
that Palmer said he must have open
ed the wrong drawer At first Pal
mer would not admit that he had
stolen any copper from the Lehigh
Valley railroad, but finally broke
down and said that on last Friday
night he had stolen an ingot of cop
per weighing 160 pounds from one of
the cars. Palmer says he broke the
seal and after securing the bar, sold
it to a local junkman for $14. The
bar Is valued at $41.60.
When arraigned before the recor-
der this morning, Palmer pleaded
guilty to the charge and was held in
default of bonds to await the action
of the grand jury. The complaint
preferred by the saloon keeper may
also be pressed.
Special officer James McDermott,
of the Lehigh Valley railroad COM
pany, signed the complaint against
Palmer.
A warrant was issued for the arrest
of the accused junk dealer on a
charge of receiving stolen goods.

THAW'S WIFE
TO UNDERGO
STILL MORE.
Is on the Witness Stand Again
Today : Thaw Afraid Of
lunaCy Commission.
WILL FIGHT HARD AGAINST IT.

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-The trial of
Harry *. Thaw opened here this morn
ing. and it is asserted that during today
and tomorrow Mrs. Thaw will be put
through such grllling as is seldom
witnessed in a court of law Photo
graphs of her will probably play an
important part before the cross eXami
nation is ended. As has been said, Mr.
Jerome has only paved the way for
the real examination. and before 1t is
over there is reason to expect that
wonder will be expressed that counsel
for the defense ever permitted her to
go on the witness stand.
In regard TO the rumors current that
Mr.. Jerome will apply for the appoint
ment of a commission in lunacy to ex
anime 1haw as soon as he completes
the cross examination of Drs. Binga-
man and Deemar, A. Russell Peabody
of Thaw's COUNSEL said:
''If Mr.. Jerome makes any such move
rs that, either at the reconvening of
court or later, Mr.. Delmas, supported
by other counsel, will fight against it
to the last ditch"
At present there is no likelihood of
counsel for the defense making any
such move. as Mr.. Jerome has no inn
mediate intention of taking any action
along those lines
In support of the contention that
Stanford White sought the company
of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw long after her
marriage, new witness, a boy named
George Pollack, has been found, who.
it is said will testify that on four occa-
slons White followed Mrs. Thaw to the
home of Hattie Forsythe, an actress,
where the witness was employed as a
hail boy.

Liberal RESPONSE AT BIG
MASS MEETING OF HEBREWS
Speakers From New York and Local Men Addressed Members Of
the Federation Of Jewish Societies at Mass Meeting in In
teres of Sanitaum for COnSumpties

Washington Hall was crowded to
the doors at a mass meeting of the
Federation of Jewish Societies yes
terday afternoon. Speakers from
New York were present and number
of local men spoke.
The meeting was presided over by
President Harry Golenbock, of the
federation. Mr. Golenbock opened
the meeting with speech, explain
ing matters in detail relating to the
working of the organization. He told
of mans duty to man and how one
human being should be at the service
of another. He told of the good work
of the institution for which they are
working. The entire gathering seem
ed to be we'll impressed with Mr.. Co
lenbocks address and when the box
was passed they dug deep in their
pockets to help so able a cause along.
Mr.. Golenbock spoke until after 3
o'clock, until the arrival of Rev. Jo-
seph Zeff and H. Rosenzweiz, of New
York.
AS soon as the former arrived he
was escorted to the platform. He is
man we'll versed in the work of
treating tuberculosis and he ably ex-
Perth Amboy evening news., 1907-02-25

planned the working of the Denver in
stitution and told how that disease
was spreading year by year. He ex-
planned why another sanitarium is
utterly necessary and expressed his
qualification that so large an organi-
cation of Jews from a city of this size
would meet for such cause. Mr..
Rosenzweiz was the next speaker and
told of the good work the federation
was performing in caring for the sick
of such dreadful disease. He told
of the reasons why new sanitarium
should be erected that would afford
larger and more comfortable head
quarters than the present building.
Following Mr.. Rosenzweiz's address
a collection was taken for the benefit
of the consumptives in Denver. The
collection amounted to $102.50. Fol-
lowing the meeting the speakers were
entertained at the home of Meyer
Karkus in Fayette street.
A meeting of the Federation OF
Jewish Societies will be held in the
Raritan club rooms tomorrow night
This will be the last meeting before
the ball, and general arrangements
for that affair will then be completed.
