MRS. eLvA CARRIER 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.
Perils surround each of these stages,
and most Of the misery that comes
to women through ill 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 childbirth. 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.
Mrs. George Walters of Woodlawn,
Ill. writes

NEW YORK. Dec. 2S,-Ex- president
Grover Cleveland under the title OF
Our People ex-Presidonts" has con-
tributsd an interesting article to n

presidency as q blow TO national pride
Mr.. Cleveland declares definite and

trates ut the expiration OF their terms.
"The condition is by no means met"
Mr.. Cleveland writes, "by the meagre
and spasmotic relief occasionally
furnished under the guise of n milf
tary pension or some other pretex nor
would it be best met by making COM
pensation dependent upon the dis
charge of senatorial or other duty Our
people ought to make deflnate and
generous provision for all cases alike,
based on motives of justice and fair
ness and adequate to the situation .
One division of the Cleveland article
Ia devoted to the Occupations OF an
ex-president" and In 1t the former
president endeavors to bring to the
attention of tho retired statesmen
and the manner of affairs he Is asked
to engage in.
He is deluged with books, Mr..
Cleveland says, most of them in
different or positively worthless and
these he is to read and commend for
all sotts of pecuniary solicitations EN-.
bracing all sorts and objects ranging
from large endowment funds and dis
interested owners of fabuIously pro-
fitable Investments to pathetic and de-
PRESSING appeals for the relief OF indi-
vidual distress.
He Is almost daily importuned to
join IN the management OF public or
semi-puliIc enterprises which profess
to be useful; or benehcient or chart
table. He is persistenly urged to
make addresses on topics and for pur.
noses that are bewildering and at
times and places that are Impossible
His daily mail furnishes conclusive
evidence that he Is not over looked by
any class or condition of our people in
any corner Of our land and the visitors
he receives forbid the reflection TINT

Murder.
tBy Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S-The veil OF
mystery envoloping the tragic death
OF the young woman. whose nude body
was found submerged i'm the water
AMI mud of n lonely pond near Har-
rison. n. j.. Thursday. is being rap
idly lifted.
Detectives working on the case be-
lieve that the slayer OF the woman,
who was identified today as Annie
O'keefe, or Annie Nevins. will soon
be run down and taken into custody.
The identification of the dead wo-
man was first made today by Mrs.
Margaret Wright, who conducts an
employment bureau in Montclair, N.
j. She SAID that the woman had
called on her earlier in the month
and asked Unemployment. She gave
the name. of Annie Nevins but did
not say where she lived. Late this
afternoon Mrs. Wright ideptifca-
tion was practically corfoborated by
Detective Sergeant Draybell of Or
anse, N. j.. who said the woman's
name was Annie O'Keefe, and that
he knew her well two years ago.
when she was employed In the home
of Thomas Nevins, a contractor, in
Orange. Since that time Draybell
states that the woman was employed
in the capacity of maid in several
places In and about Orange Recent
ly, he said, he had lost track of her.
Draybell informed the police that the
closest friend that Miss O'Keefe had
was Miss Nevins. niece OF Thomas
Nevins. and undoubtedly she took the
name OF Nevins at times when seek
Ing employment.
Description of Clothing TalIies.
The hat worn by the murdered
woman was found this afternoon In
the Passaic river and turned over 10
the police. IT Is sealskin turban
and matched the collarette and muff
which were found near the body.
Mrs. Wrights description of the
clothing worn by Miss O'Keefe when
she applied to her for work, cores
pond in every detail with the clothing
found near the dead woman's body.
While Mrs. Wright could give lit
tile further information concerning
the woman, she recalled that Miss
O'Keefe had told her that she had
been acting as q housekeeper for two
young men In Brooklyn.
Have Tangible Clues.
The Harrison police have much of
Miss O'Keefe's movements Just be-
fore the murder from Thomas Elan
nagan, an elevator man in Newark
department store. who after a visit
to the morgue today, declared with
positiveness that Miss O'Keefe had
been in the store on Christmas Eve
and had asked him if a we'll dressed
man had inquired for a woman in
a red dress. He said that Miss
O'Keefe appeared nervous. and after
stating that she had an appointment
with the man. remained at the store
for over an hour Later. Flanagan
said he saw and spoke TO her in
Chinese restaurant and that she told
him that she had been unable to find
the man. He says that the woman
left the restaurant shortly before
midnight. The police say there is
no doubt that she finally met this
man and after spending Christmas
day with him was lured into the
Hackensack meadows and murdered.
Detectives are trying 10 locate the
two young men who employed Miss
O'Koefe in Brooklyn.
