INSIDE FACTS REVEALED
Regarding the Duke of the Abruzzi's
Courtship of Miss ElI<ins.

Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. 24--Interest-
ing and authentic details of the stand
taken by Queen Margharita of Italy in
connection with the long rumored con-
firmed and denied engagement of the
duke of the Abruzzi to Miss Katherine
Elkins have been received in this city
yesterday. They came in the form of
a letter from S1gnora Josephine Buzzi,
widow of the late governor of the royal
castle at Spupinagi to her son, Signor
Pietro Buzzi of this city.
My mother wrote the letter to me
during the time Queen Margharita and
the young duke were stayingat the cas-
tle,'' said Buzzi. ''She says the affair
was the gossip of the hour before the
arrival of the queen 10 days before she
wrote, but that her announcement soon
anayed all fear that there would be
any alliance between royal blood and
the Elkins family.
1.-THE queen made no attempt to con-
ceal her feelings against any proposed
engagement between the duke and Miss
Elkins and denied that such an en-
gagement already existed When the
people were assured that the rumors
were false they gave vent to exclama-
lions of satisfaction over what they
termed the excellent judgment of the
duke"

ginning so feet wide; 1T has now pee1
extended to a length of three huhureu
feet In view of the existing con-
ditions. the settlement of the dam was

Washington, Nov. 24.-If there has
been any accident resulting IN the
sinking and destruction of the WORK
of the proposed Gatun dam on the
isthnus caused by the recent heavy
rains as published by a Panama news
paper. no mention of it has been maze
by Colonel Goethals. chairman OF the
canal commission and the engineer IN
chief in charge of the construction IN
his daily reDorts to the office here
1t was pointed out at the commits
sfon's offices today that the work or
constructing the dam at Gatun mas
not actually begun, but the engineers
have been at work on the retaining
walls for the dredged material which
will form the dam. Between these
two toes a distance of LOO feet, the
hydraulic fill will be made, or. in
other words the dam proper Will be
located.
The silt underneath these rocks
from which the toes are made was
not removed as will be the case with
the bottom of the dam proper and II
may be that what have sunk, IL
ANYTHING from the heavy rains, are
these rocks This sinking naturally
would be expected and at the com
missions office, it is said, it is prob
able that the sinking should occur
now rather than later on after the
work of construction of the dam
proper has begun. If the sinking has
taken place it is not of material con-
sequence, it is declared.

LYDIA E. PINkHAM

No other medicine for WOman's
ills in the world has received such
widespread and unqualified en-
dorsement as has Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, made
from native roots and herbs.
No other medicine has such a
record of success for wOman's dis
eases, or such hosts of grateful
friends as has Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
For more than 30 years it has been
the standard remedy for feminine
ills, Inflammation, liberation, and
consequent Spinal Weakness.
1t has relieved more cases of Back
ache and Local Weaknesses than
any other one remedy. 1t dissolves
and expels tumors in all early stage
of development.
Irregularities and periodic pains.
Weakness of the Stomach, Indiges-
ton, Bloating, Nervous Prostitution,
Headache, General Debility, quickly
yield to it; also deranged organs,
causing pain, dragging sensations
and backache. Under all circum-
stances it acts in harmony with the
female system.
1t removes that wearing feeling,
extreme lassitude, "don't care and
swami to be : left alone feeling,
excitability, irritability nervousness,
dizziness, faintness, sleeplessness,
fiatulency, melancholy orthe blues"
These are indications of Feminine
disorders, which this medicine over
comes as well as slight arrangement
of the Kidneys of either sex.
Women who are sick and want to
get well should refuse to accept any
substitute for Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
