has decided to multiply her generous offer
five times over and give away s50,O00.0O

It is not so long ago that this generous
good woman lived in a manner similar to
that of thousands of other very poor
women of the average small town and
village. She now resides in her own pal
atial brown-stone residence, and is con-
sidered one of the most successful bust
ness women in the United States.
Several years ago Mrs. Miller learned
of a mild and simple preparation that
cured herself and several friends of fe-
male weakness and piles. She was be-
sieged by SO many women needing treat
ment that she decided to furnish it to
those VINO might call for it. She started
with only a few dollars capital, and the
remedy, possessing true and wonderful
merit, producing many cures when doctors
and other remedies failed. the demand
grew so rapidly she was several times
compelled to seek larger quarters. She
now occupies one of the city's largest Of
flee buildings, which she owns, and almost
one hundred lady clerks and stenosra-
piers are required to assist in this great
business.

MORE MEN DISCHARGED.
Only Five Machinists Now Left at the
 Railroad Repair Shops.

New Haven, May 2.--The policy of retrenchment still continues on the New Haven road and the discharge of 35 more mechanics from the machine shops came like a bolt out of clear sky to the men
 This leaves the repair shops with a most economical crew. There are left five machinists, three black smiths, three blacksmith helpers and five boilermakers. There Is plenty of room for them to get about without falling over each other. It was not like this in the olden days.
 Engines will now be sent to Read vile for repairs and in fact a num- Der of them have already been sent there.
 The identification of the system from New York to Stamford makes this change easier as fewer locomo- tives are used at this end of the sys- tenn than formerly. The road has just ordered four new electric loco motives and three multiple cars such as are in use on the other roads which are using electric cars. These are being built at the Westinghouse works.

JAIL THAT HOLDS WALKER.
New Britain Embezzler Not One of
 the Number That Escaped.

San Diego, Cal, May 2.-The ex- tradition case of the people of the state of Connecticut against William F. Walker, in the Mexican cuartel at Ensenada awaiting the slow action of the Mexican courts, would have had a sensational ending if the keep CTS of the Mexican cuartel had not been particularly good to Walker and permitted him to have a little better accommodation than the rest of the prisoners.
 Thursday night, or rather yester- day morning, not very far this side of midnight, twelve of the prisoners escaped from the jail and succeeded in getting a good start for the noun tains, where at least two of them, Ed Crossthwaite, a cattle thief, and Alexander Smith, printer, who re- gently shot and killed a mine super intendent, are at bay and can keep the dozen we'll out of the way of the officers.
 Walker has been permitted to re- main in the front of the jail in- stead of with the rest of the prison CTS in the cells, and so escaped the opportunity which was evidently given to all who had strength to travel.
 The cuartel at Ensenada is a gray stone building, sort of barracks sur rounding patio or court. It is the only jail or prison in Ensenada and malefactors of various degrees of badness are confined there. The in- fantry is recruited from offenders convicted of petty misdemeanors and are compelled to serve five years. They act as guards and are said to be notoriously open to bribery.
 Although William F. Walker, the defaulting bank treasurer, failed to escape, the authorities are positive that he was in the plot, but the alarm was given before he could get out of the jail. With Walker is An tonic Felix, who is condemned to be shot for treason and who was also caught by the officers before he got to liberty.
 The prisoners at given signal broke from their cells and rushed upon the guard who was stationed at the door, Before he has a chance to shoot he was overpowered and his revolver taken away from him. As the prisoners opened the door of the Jail with the guards key and rushed outside the guard gave the alarm and other guards rushed to his res cue. They prevented several of the prisoners from getting away.

New York, May 2.-As fitting finale to a week of celebration marking the one hundredth anniversary of the founding of the Catholic diocese os New York. celebration marked by the pomp, splendor and solemnity of the religious ceremonies, attended by the greatest assemblage of the Cath- olc hierarchy ever witnessed in this country, is the great parade of Cath olic clergy and laymen.

AFTER THE SALOONS.
Steel Town of Indiana May Legislate
 Against Them.

Chicago, May 2.-Gary, Ind, the $25, ,00O, 900 United States steel town, is threatened with the loss of llo saloons. Nearly enough signatures had been obtained last night to a pe- tition to legislate them out of exist ence temporarily. It is the ministers of the town against the saloonkeep- CTS. There are five churches which find it difficult to maintain themselves Firing of the uphill struggle some one thought of taking advantage or the peculiar local option law Of h. diana.
 If an election were to be held now it is conceded there would be great majority for license" But the h. diana law provides not for an cleo tion, but the signing of petition by a majority of the voters who voted lat the last state elecion.' The last state election in Indiana was two years ago when only 639 votes were cast in the township in which Gary is. Now it is necessary to get only 32O signers among 4,000 or 5000 voters in order to make the town dry"

GEMS IN TOE OF SHOE.
Miss TalIman Then Sent Her Shoes
 to the Repair Shop.

Hartford, May 2.-Because of un- usual precautions taken with five diamond rings, the daughter of James H. Tallman of No 25 Niles street is mourning their loss. Miss Tallman secreted a jewel case, con- taining the rings, in the toe Of a shoe. and then forgot that the rings were there and sent the shoes to the dealer for repairs, with the jew els still in them. The shoes changed hands several times, the diamonds disappeared and yet no clews can be found which would justify an ar rest.
 Two of the diamonds were two and half carats each and valuable. two were three-quarter carats each and one was set with a screw so that it could be worn either as ring or a sunburst brooch. The aggre- gate value of the five rings is put at $500.
 They were all kept in a small leather jewel case, and this case was placed in the toe of one of the new shoes. Miss Tallman then took the shoes back to c. Fox & Go to have some repairs made, and several clerks handled the shoes ill the store before they were given to boy to take to Max Friedman's repair shop on Trumbull street, where Fox s work is done. The shoes were re- turned to the store before the jew els were missed. and every one who handled them disclaims any knowl- edge of the rings, and no amount of investigation has brought forth any clew as to their whereabouts.
 While the police are making a dil- igent search for them, it is thought that the case may have dropped out of the shoe while it was being taken to the repair shop. The boy who carried them rode bicycle and car ried the shoes under his arm. He rode on Main street and down Church to Trumbull street. where the shop is located. Had they dropped out, any one might have picked them up and they might never be recovered, although the po- lice are inclined to think they will eventually come to light in some pawnshop or jewelry store.
 A reward of S200 has been offered for their return, and MT Tallman has said that no one will be prosecuted nor any questions asked if the rings are returned, for they are valued for associations as well as from the monetary point of view.
