Washington,s Nov. p. So far a
known none OF the Argentine meat com
panIes controlled by North American
interests is contemplating meat ship
ments to the United States, according
to further information concerning the
operations of United States capital in
tho Argentine meat supply, transmitted
by Commercial Agent James d. Whelp-
lev to tine department of commerce and
labor yesterday. This state af affairs
viii continue, Mr. Whelpley reports, IN
til prices in the United States equal
those Of Europe as the North American
interests admittedly gained control Of q
part Of the meat trade in Argentine with
view toward supplying the European de-
mand after extensive increases in home
consumption in the United States had
caused decline in American exports

She had no key from which to have a
duplicate made. She might get a
locksmith to come and fit key, but
that would require time. and mean
while Mr. Eldridge might move in. In
any event he had key to the prem
Uses and could get in when be liked.
Miss Martindale concluded to change
her tactics. She wrote a note to Mr..
Eldridge which she sent through Mr..
Rogers, stating that since It seemed
that there had been a mistake made
by the agent in renting the premises
to two different persons she thought
the one least needing them should
give way TO the other; that she repre-
scented a family Of three and IL Mr..
Eldridge stood for more than that she
would give way to him. If not she
thought he should give way to her.
Mr.. Eldridge replied that be had
rented the fat intending to turn it over

should give way to this society.
Miss Martindale knew that this was
a subterfuge, but she didn't see how
should could take that ground with
Mr. Eldridge. Again. she felt that she
was defeated, and again she changed
her tactics. Feeling confidence in her
persuasive powers-with a man-she
wrote MFR Eldrldge a second note,
sending it through the same medium,
proposing a conference. Mr.. Eldridge,
instead of replying TO the note. sur
prised her with call.
Mr.. Eldridge was dressed with far
more care than was to be expected In
one who had called on mere matter
Of business. He wore frock coat,
blue cravat with white dots and gloves
without blemish. Miss Martindale re-
ceived him graciously and was sure
they would reach an understanding.
She proposed a compromise, &c as
scented Then she named compro-

Mr.. Eldrldge leaned back in his seat

INFLAMMATORY
RHEUMATISM
A Disease for Which Ordinary
Treatment Is Unsatisfactory.
Description OF a Severe Ca Sc Which
Was Readily Cured by the Use OF
Or, Williams Pink Pills.

The ordinary medical treatment Of in.
aammatory rheumatism is still far from
satisfactory. Most OF these treatments
are directed at the symptoms and are
considered successful if they relieve the
pain and stiffness. But the blood has
not been purified and the rheumatism is
sure to return, especially after season
Of exposure to cold and dampness. For
this reason sufferers from rheumatism will
be interested in the success which Dr.
Williams Pink Pills have had in curing
this painful disease.
Francis Fl. Clarkson, OF Archibald, Pa
was cured of a severe attack by this treat
ment. His case is described by his moth
er, Mrs. Arthur Clarksor, as follows;
1.-TWO years ago this spring" she says,
"my son, Francis, had a severe attack OF
inflammatory rheumatism After be had
been under the care Of a doctor for some

a friend to give him DR.. Williams Pink
Pills
"When he began taking the pills he
had been sick for several months His
Joints were badly swollen and panied him
all over his body. His legs were SO swol-
len and painful that be couldn stand on

the pills good trial and be was entirely
