No other medicine has been so successful in relieving the suffering of women or received so many gen uine testimonials as has Lydia E. rtnkhan's Vegetable Compound.
 In every community you will find women who have been restored to health by Lydia K Hnkham's Veg etAhle Compound. Almost every one you meet has either becn bene- fited by it, or has friends who have.
 In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn. Mass, any woman any day may see the files containing over one mil lion one hundred thousand letters from women seeking health, and here are the letters in which they openly state over their own sigma tunes that they were cured by Lydia E- Fnkham's Vegetable Compound.
 Lydia k Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has saved many weinen from surgical operations.
 Lydia k Pnkham's Vegetable Compound is made from roots and herbs, without drugs, and Is whole some and harmless.
 The reason why Lydia K. Pink hams Vegetable Compound is so successful is because 1t contains in- gradients which act directly upon the feminine organism, restoring 1t to a healthy normal condition. Women who arc suffering from those distressing ills peculiar to their sex should not lose sight of these facts or doubt the ability of Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound 0 restore their health

Without Consent.

New York. Apr. 2. - That Prince
Helie de Sagan is sutton for the
hand of Nine. Anna Gould is an
nounced by the prince himself in a
statement in which he says that Nine.
Gould will sail for France very soon
after his own departure, which is set
for April 9. The princes announce
ment was made coincident with the
circulation Of reports that Nine.
Gould has quarreled with her family
because Of her determination to mar
~ de Sagan. Nine. Gould is quoted
as saying that she shall no longer
be oppressed and ruled by her fam
fly" that at last "she has asserted
herself and shall abide by her own de.
ctsion." Nine. Gould has left the
home of her sister. Miss Helen Gould,
with whom she has been staying
since her arrival from France more
than week ago.. and is living with
friends at the Hotel ST. Regis.
Not only is sentiment, but money as
we'll, involved in the break between
Nine. Gould and the members of her
family. The will by which Jay Gould
disposed Of his fortune contained a
codfcil which may have a prominent
part in developments should there
follow prolongation of the family
trouble. This codicil provided that
any of his children who should marry
without first gaining the consent of
the other sons and daughters should
forfeit one-half of his or her interest
in the estate. In Madame Gould 8
case the one-half interest is variously
estimated at between 100000 and
$8,000,0O0. 1t is said to be the con-
tention Of Nine. Gould, however
that this provision Of the will was alb.
rogated as far as she is concerned
when the consent Of her brothers and
sisters was given to her marriage
with Count Boni de Castellane. Hav'
ing taken this position, she is said
to have retained a prominent firm OF
attorneys with large interests both in
New York and Paris, and to have in.
formed her relatives at the last fam.
lily conference that she is prepared to
fight, if necessary, for what she re
CARDS as her right to her entire share
Of the fortune left by her father.
| Mrs. Tyler Morse, with whom Nine
Anna Gould is stopping at the St
Regis hotel, said Wednesday:
ct am authorized to say for Nine
Gould that there will be no formal an.
nouncement of her engagement made
in this city. The engagement will be
publicly made in France, according to
certain formalities that must be OBJ
served there, as Nine. Gould is a
citizen Of France. I cannot say how
soon Nine. Gould will give her an
swer to the prince"

the methods pursued by the Electric

was resumed by the special committee
of the house Tuesday, after recess
of two weeks. The officials of the
Electric Boat Company for whom sub

At the afternoon session of the com.

Electric Boat Company, pronounced as
"a malicious lie" the statement Of
Representative Lilley that tho Elec.

Mr. Lilley presented a request to
the committee that Admiral Caps,
chief of the bureau of construction
of the navy department., who testified,
be called and all his questions pro.
pounded in the order in which he had
prepared them.
Mr.. Lilley also asked that expert &C.
