GIRL AND WOMAN WHO CANNOT FIND A LESSON IN THIS STORY FROM LIFE? Healthy and Happy as a Girl, Thia Wo man Was Still to Know the Depths of Misery—A Leaf From a Re porter's Note Book. i It is a true saying that a wise provi dence sends to human beings all the trou ble that they need. None are so rich in purse, so sound In body and mind that they escape it entirely. Mrs. J. W. Mun dy. of No. 43 Summit avenue, Plainfield, N. J., is a woman who takes pleasure tn telling others how to lighten their burden of trouble. “I should like to have a heart to-heart talk.with every girl in this coun try. " she said to a reporter. “I could help them to be happy, for I have found the way at last.” “As a girl I always enjoyed the best of health, but about seven years ago. soon after my marriage, my health began to fail. There had been several deaths in my family and sorrow had the effect of In creasing my illness. I was most misera ble. and so nervous. There would be times when I could not sleep at all and at other times it seemed as if I could do nothing tout sleep. I obtained no permanent relief and, finally, about four years ago I was attacked with nervous prostration which left me in a miserable condition. “But you seem perfectly well now,” sug gested the reporter. "Yes, I am well and happy," she return ed quickly. "Last spring my husband saw an advertisement of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People in one of the local papers and advised me to try them. I did so, and by (he time the second box had been used up I felt decided relief, and so continued on till I had taken four boxes when I felt I was on the road to regained health. There Is no doubt that the reme dy has done wonders for me.” lap pills' which cured Mrs. Mundy have accomplished similar results in thousands of casea They have proven themselves to be an absolutely certain remedy for all diseases arising from disorders of the blood and nerves. Among the many dis eases they have cured are locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, after-effects of the grip, palpi tation of the heart, pale and- sallow com plexions and all forms of weakness either In male or female.

Y. mystebTshhouds DEATH OF FATHER ANDHISSON BODIES OF RICHARD ALBRECHT AND HIS BOY FOUND NEAR BRUNSWICK—DEATH IS BE LIEVED TO BE ACCIDENTAL. BRUNSWICK. Ga., March 24.-One of the most sensational and mysterious events that has occurred in this section in many months came to light Saturday in finding near Thalmaun, on the Sea board Air Lina, of the drowned body of Richard Albrecht, a prominent citizen of New Brunswick. N. J. This interest was augmented yesterday when the body of Mr. Albrecht's son. a bright faced youth of about nine years, was recovered at the same place. There Is a strange story attending the movements of the father and son since their presence in this section was first noticed on the 14th Instant, and briefly Is as follows: On the date mentioned, the two got off the southbound Seaboard train at Thal maun, holding tickets to Brunswick over the Brunswick and Birmingham. Mr. Al brecht disclaimed any Intention of com ing to Brunswick, stating to the ticket agent that when he bought the tickets. In Savannah, he asked for fares to Nfew Brunswick, N. J., and the mistake had caused him no little Inconvenience. He appeared very disconcerted and carried on at such a rate that it was thought his mind was not well balanced. Against the protestations of the agent, Mit Albrecht and the boy left Thalmaun late in the afternoon walking In the direction of Everett City. It was raining and they had no umbrellas. Since that time noth ing was heard of them until Saturday when the body of the elder Albrecht was discovered in the water beneath a trestle about two miles from Thalmaun. A coroner’s Inquest was held and upon the person of the drowned man were cards which showed him to be the proprietor of the Windsor hotel of New Brunswick, besides a bank book showing several hun dred dollars to his credit, and 936.45 In change was also in his pockets. No bruis es or anything else was evident to show foul pla>\ New Brunswick being notified of the finding, a flood of telegrams from the drowned man's wife and others began coming In and inquiries about the where abouts of the boy were made. This caused a search for his body and it was found yesterday as stated. * Another strange feature of the mys tery Is that the father held tickets from Baltimore to Jacksonville, and his pres ence at a point short of the last named place cannot be accounted for, even though his story Is to be believed.

IRE OF NORTH IS AROUSED BY BILL CRUMPACKER RESOLUTION TO INVESTIGATE SOUTHERN ELEC TION LAWS CAUSES BIG PROTEST. WASHINGTON. March 24.-Buslness in terests of the north have been aroused by (he Crumpacker resolution to investigate southern election laws. Since the publica tion of the fact that the Republican mem bers of the house committee On rules had voted to report the resolution, the Republican leaders have been fairly overwhelmed with letters from the busi ness men of the north, protesting against what they term an attempt to revive the "bloody shirt” and "Force bill” issue. The letters have been so numerous and vigorous as to have had an appreciable effect on certain Republican members. It was stated last night that the committee on rules will take Its own time In report ing the Crumpacker resolution to the house, notwithstanding that the majority of that committee—Speaker Henderson. Representative Dalzell and Grosvenor—a week ago last Saturday voted to report the resolution. Now, It is claimed, since a number of Republicans In private conversation have freely spoken their mind against the wis dom of the resolution, and on top of this the threat of the beet sugar men to vote with the Democrats against IL the Repub lican leaders are in a quandary. On the other hand, Republicans like Mr. Crumpacker, who have a substantial col ored vote In their respective districts, are insistent that the committee on rules give thent an opportunity to vote on the Crum packer resolution and the opportunity can not come too soon for them. Speaking of the Crumpacker resolution. Representative D. Linn Gooch, of Ken tucky, who is one of the most conserva tive men in the house, said last evening that “for once the Republicans have placed themselves in a hole.” He said further: “We remember what followed the force bill legislation of the fifty-first con gress—the election of a Democratic house and two years later the election of Mr. Cleveland. I do not hesitate to say that in my humble opinion we will elect a Democratic house this fall and thus pave the way to carry the presidential tn 1904. and the Crumpacker resolution will prove to be worth thousands of votes to us next November."

Three times she slashed the mayor and then he sprang at her, gripped her by tho throat, choked her, tore the rawhide out of her hand and pushed her into the hall. As Miss Boise was thrust out of the office by Mayor Parker, she exclaimed: "Thank God, I've done It. I’ve horse whipped you and now I am going to horse whip the governor.” Before beginning her horsewhipping, Miss Boise gave the mayor a severe scold ing and accused him of being responsible for the fact that the "Joints” are running openly in Topeka and for the recent mur der committed In a saloon. She then pulled the horsewhip frorti the folds of her dress and struck the mayor three times across the head and shoulders. Miss Boise Is a nurse by profession. She Is about 35 years of age.

GAINESVILLE, Ga.. March 24.—Fire was discovered at an early hour yesterday morning In Inman, Smith & Co.’s shoe factory. In this city. The department was soon at tne scene, but the extremely low water pressure and the fact that the fire was In the shoe box room on the third floor, made it extremely difficult to get It out. It was over an hour before tne flames could be extinguished. The loss to the factory will be about $25,000, fully cov ered by insurance. The Are started on the third floor, whieh is used almost exclusively for the manufacture of shoe boxes, and a large stock of card board and empty boxes were kept there. The flames, when they once reached it. soon spread over the en tire floor, and quickly Ignited the roof. But for the hard work of the firemen the entire building would have been destroyed. The offices of the company, on the first floor, were flooded with water, and the second floor, which Is filled with unwork ed leather, was also much wet by the water from the floor above. The dam age by water was much more than the damage by fire. Comptroller Wright Better. The many friends of Comptroller General Wright will be pleased to know that he is much better today.

Ga. ••• STORM RIDDEN SHIP REACHES PORT SAFE NEW YORK, March 25.—With her coal and water supply almost exhausted, the steamer Nord America has arrived here. She had been forced to put into Bermu da on her way from Genoa and Naples, much to the relief of her 42 cabin and 1,800 steerage passengers who had lived for days In fear of disaster. Among the passengers was Frederick Taylor, a fellow of the Royal Geographi cal society, who for the last sixteen months has been traveling in Borneo, Ja pan, China and Hawaii. “We were but one day out from Naples when the first storm struck us,” said Taylor. “The heavy sea washed over the vessel’s decks. The ship had a small car go and rolled heavily. "The immigrants were lounging all over the decks, exposed to the elements and mothers with babes In their arms, were drenched to the skin by the seas, which kept breaking over the decks. ”On the night of March 18, the vessel was able to make small headway against the furious storm. Every sea that struck the ship shook her from stem to stern and the crying and wailing of the Immi grants who were panic stricken, made it a night of horror for us all. “The captain did his best to calm the Immigrants’ fears, but It was of no avail, and after a consultation of the officers, it was decided to * Steer for Bermuda. When the America reached Hamilton the coal had run short and the fresh water had nearly given out." BOMEWMfSTEB PASSED AWAY TUESDAY JOSEPH J.

Ga. As there are some matters in regard to the administration of the agricultural de partment on which the people of Georgia should be Informed, and as your views and mine In regard, to the duties of com missioner of agriculture differ very wide ly, and as we are bath candidates for this office, I. Invite you.'io a public joint dis cussion of these issue*, at such times aoid places as we may be- able to agree upon. I propose to lay bare yqur extravagance and waste of the ped pie’s money, and also your failure to protect them In their use of illuminating oils, and offer yod this op portunity of public reply. In the meantime please answer explicit ly the following questions In an open let ter: How many fertiliser Inspectors have you employed since taking charge of the de partment of agriculture? What are their names, their places of residence, their terms of service, their salaries and their traveling expenses? How many have you on duty now? 2. Why have you repeatedly refused to give this information when requested? 3. As these Inspectors are paid from a direct tax on fertilizers, and as the sur plus from this tax goes to the school fund of the state, does not each unnec essary Inspector diminish the school fund to the amount of his pay? 4. Why. in your pamphlet, purporting to contain the oil law, do you omit a most Important section In regard to inspec tions In bulk, which reads as follows: "In all cases where oil Is Inspected In bulk, before said oil Is put Into barrels. It shall be the duty of the Inspector to either see the oil so Inspected put Into bar rels on which he has put his official brand, or else he shall again take samples from among the barrels Into which said bulk oil has been unloaded, before he shall place his official brand upon said barrels." This section is for the protection of con sumers of oil against frauds and adulter ations; why do you not charge your in spectors with the importance of its en forcement? Why do you allow tfiem to test from the tank car, brand the empty bar rels and leave them in the hands of the oil companies? 5. When you engineered this bill through the legislature, why did you strike out the following protective sections of the old law? (a) "When the oil Inspected shall stand a higher test, the Inspector shall designate the same by his brand?” (b) “Inspectors shall Inspect from time to time oil in the tanks of retail dealers, whether previously inspected or not, and if the fluid Is below the standard, the same shall be seized, etc., etc.” I was In the senate when this bill was under consideration, and know Its history. You remember that through mutual friends you sought my support of this measure, and as a final argument I was told that one of my best friends would receive the position 'f state oil inspector if the bill became a law. My reply was that I would not vote for the bill if my own son was to be benefited by It. Yours truly, R. T. NESBITT. CASTOR IA Fox Infants and Children.

WASHINGTON, March 25.—May 20, 1902, Is the new date fixed for turning over the Islfind of Cuba to its people. The change of date was made, If not at the suggestion, then with the full appro val of President-elect Palma and his ad visors, Senors Tamaya and Quesada, who were with him at the war department to day. This date established a memorable one In Cuban history, for it will not only mark the acquisition' of full Independence, but will bo the Cuban Inauguration day, it having been determined that President Palma should be Inaugurated on the same day that American control of the island Besides the final selection of May 20 as Cuban Independence Day, two other im portant conclusions were reached. The first was that General Wood should Imme diately upon his return to Cuba Issue a call convening the first Cuban congress In session on May 10th, In order that that body might employ the ten days following that date In supplying any legislation nec essary to the assumption of full powers in the islands. The other conclusion was that there should be no half way evacuation of the Island; the present disposition Is jo move the entire United States contingent, civil and military, away from the islands, not leaving a corporal’s guard of United States soldiers In any of the camps. If this program Is not executed. It will be for the sole reason that the Cubans themselves, through their authorized officials, request that the departure of the United States troops be delayed for a time. .
