Women Who Wear Well.

1t is astonishing how great a change q
few years Of married life often make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, faint echo
OF the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change. ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
rage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
Of It's freshness and the form of its
fairness.

PUTTING IN TELEPHONES.
Frisco Road Proposing to Do Away
With Telegraphers.


The St. Louis & San Francisco Rail-
way company is making a very wide
departure from it's past method of
March 4, a complete chain of te1e-
phones will be in operation over the
lines and by these instead of te1eg-
raphers the blocks are to be handled
from the small stations.
The plan to do away with teleg-
raphers and install phones has been
tried by various railroads and it is said
pany does not contemplate entirely do
ing away with its Geographic service
out over the lines. Under the block
system by which the Frisco handles
trains it is necessary for stations to
be much nearer than of old or before
the advance of the block signal ap-
paratus. The company will in the
future have telegraph stations. say
every twenty or twenty-five miles, and
intervening points will be rugged up
with the long distance telephones and
by these instruments the blocks can
be handled.
The company, it was stated. today,
would pay on an average $40 a month
to those persons employed to operate
the phones. This is quite a little be-
low the minimum paid the operators,
and the step is taken more as pecu-
mary gain than anything else. When
the company gets the phones in work
ing order about half the number of
telegraphtrs now in use will be
dropped. The stations at North juno
ton, Fulton and others on the north
stalled and by March 1 the company
expects to start in with the phones
supplanting many of its telegraph sta
tons.

DIPLOMAT PRISONER
 IN HIS OWN HOME
DepOsed Minister From Turkey
 Fears For His Life.

Washington, Aug. 14.-Mehmid All Bey, the deposed Turkish minister to the United States. is virtually a pris- oner in his home here and is kept in his bed by his fears as the result of a Black Hand letter threatening his life.
 The minister communicated with the police department as soon as he re- ceiyed the letter and requested a guard for the legation and himself. In &C., eordanee with his request, policeman was detailed to watch the legation.
 It is said that it is fear of assassins rather than diplomatic sickness" as Mundji Bey, the new charge d'affaires sarcastically put it, that caused Meh- mid Bey to take to his bed upon re- ceipt of the threatening message.
 It is said that when the paper was handed to him by an undersecretary the swarthy face of Mehmid Ali Bey turned ghastly white, and he reeled against the wall of the legation office as though he had received a blow, while his secretaries sprang to prevent his falling to the floor.
 It was the fear of assassination that caused Izzet Pasha, father of Mehmid Ali Bey, for fifteen years the power behind the throne of the sultan, to fee from Constantinople and hide himself fin some other part of the world. and even now he lives in mortal fear that the curved knife of some Turly will find resting place in his body.

MISSING GIRL WAS FOUND.
Begs Mothers Forgiveness on Her Knees in Police Station.

New York, Aug 14.-Fifteen-year- old Pauline Stefan, who ran away from her home at 65 John street. Elm Park, s. l., on June IS. was found yesterday at South Beach where she had gone on a pleasure trip. For awhile she tried to make the police believe she was Jessie o. Smith, but when taken before Lieutenant Cahili at the New Brighton detective bureau she broke down and begged to be tak- en back home.
 In the evening her mother arrived at the station to identify her. The moment she saw Pauline she gave q cry of joy and tried to take her in her arms. But the daughter, shamed by her mothers forgiveness. fell to her knees and sobbed pitifslly.
 Mrs Stefan was greatly grieved to find that she could not take the girl back with her, as Pauline had to be locked up for arraignment before Jus tice Marsh in Stapleton.
 Pauline's story was full of pathos.
 God only knows she exclaimed last night, "how I ever escaped the river. Twice when roamed through the streets searching for work, I started to throw myself over the bridge. was afraid to return home. because Rosie Uttinger, who got me to leave, told me that my parents would put me in the Gerry society if did. Finally was hired as maid by Mrs Miller, who lives in West One Hundred and Twenty-ninth street, Manhattan. This was my day off."

Burlington, N. J., Aug 14.-- Scalped and the skin torn from his back, Alfred Smith. years old, son of Mir and Mrs Harry Smith of this city, was the victim, of a distressing accident late yesterday afternoon at Burlington Island park.
 The lad fell or was pushed under the platform of a merry-go-round. Projecting under the revolving plat. form were long spikes, one of which caught the boys curly hair. He was dragged over the rough floor and his scalp torn away from his forehead to his ears. Frank Spin ella of Bristol dived under the plat form, seized the boy and showed him out, but the spikes broke one Of Spinella's legs and mangled his arms. The boys condition is criti- cal.

TAFT ANSWERS CRITICS.
Replies to Correspondents Who Object
 to His Playing Golf.

Hot Springs, Va, Aug. 14.-Mr. Taft commented on letters he had received criticising him for playing golf, called by his correspondents "a rich mans game"
 Tt reminds me-" said the candidate, Sof the fable of the old man, the boy and the ass. The old man mounted the ass. which the boy led, and people criticised the man for making the poor little boy walk. Wherefore the man got of and led and allowed the boy to ride, and people said it was a shame for the boy to ride while the poor old man trudged along on foot. When both the boy and the man mounted the animal the people said it was an out rage to treat the poor beast that way As a result the man and the boy got of and began carrying the ass. where at every one cried, Look at the two foolsr
 AS matter of fact" concluded the candidate. "i play golf because need exercise, and that is the best that is at hand here"
 No public comment in the newspa- pers on the acceptance speech of W. ]. Bryan is to be made by w. H. Taft. This decision was announced by the Republican candidate even before he had an opportunity to read the Bryan speech. This reading. he said, he wished to do with great deliberation, and should its perusal make reply necessary or advisable 1t will be made the subject of a speech or included in a speech Mfr. Taft may make at some future time. His next speech will be delivered here week from today to a gathering of Virginia Republicans. who are coming to the mountains for a general rally.
 Mir. Taft expressed great satisfac- tion at the report of campaign work made to him by Frank II. Hitchcock, Republican national chairman.
 ''The conference was really the first business meeting I have had with the national chairman since the organiza- tion for the campaign began" said Mir. Taft. The amount of work that has been done is surprising and de- eldedly satisfactory.
