She understands their suffering, and has the power to relieve and cure. In nearly all cases the source of women's suffering is in the womb. In many cases the .rale physician does not understand the ease and treats the patient for consumption—indigestion —anything but the right thing. It is under such circumstances that thousands of women have turned tc Mrs. l’inkham, at Lynn, Mass., aud opened their heart and lives—woman to woman—and reeeived her help. You ask how she can tell if the doctor cannot ? Because no man living ever treated so many cases and possesses such vast expo ienee.

GOSSIP OF THE CAPITAL IN PITHY PARAGRAPHS. Doings of tho Chiefs and Heads of the Various Departments. The navy department has selected most of the officers for the Turkish cruise of the Bancroft, and their or¬ ders have been sent directing them to report on board the vessel as soon as possible. Tho officers are Lieuteuant Commander C. Belknap, Lieutenant T. E. Veedec, Ensigu S. E. W. Kit- telle, and Assistant Paymaster Rich¬ ard Hatton, Considerable difficulty has been encountered in securing en¬ gineer officers, as the department is seeking only those officers who have not been to sea for some time, and who will, therefore, be available for a full three-years’ detail, it apparently be¬ ing the intention to provide for a con tingency which may probably keep the vessel abroad for a long time. Cruiser Cincinnati Ordered to Turkey Ihe cruiser Cincinnati has been or dered to Turkey. This does not effect tbe cruise of the Bancroft, that vessel being destined exclusively for duty as guardship to the American legation at Constantinople, while the Cincinnati and other vessels of tho iqnadron are to remain in Turkish waters outside the Dardanelles unless cirmcumstances arise to call for re enforcements and a display of naval force. It is explained at the navy depart meut that the orders to the Cincin¬ nati have been in contemplation for some time, and there is no particular significance in their publication at tin- present juncture. It is also said th it it is the intention of the department to bring the Marblehead home as soon as she can be spared from the Modi terranean, as the time of a great many men on the station has expired and it is hoped to gather them ail on the Marblehead for tho homeward cruise. So it is argued really no increase iu the force in Turkish waters is designed unless eventually affairs appear to warrant it. According to the present understanding the Cincinnati evil continue with Admiral Bunco’s squad rou several weeks yet, and will tun her movements to reach Smyrna in October, about the time the Bancroft arrives at the entrance of the Bos phorus. Francis <Joes In. Although the resignation of Secre¬ tary Hoke Smith practically took ef¬ fect at the close of busine-s Monday, he will probably remain a day or two at the department, at the request of his successor, Governor Francis, who will not be able to arrange his busi¬ ness affiirs at St. Louis aud reach his pi si. of duty until the middle of the week. Secretary Francis will find most branches of the business of the de¬ partment up to date upon current work. Secretary Smith has given out a statement describing the business that has for more thau three years been under his superv ; sion, and what he has accomplished during the period, dwelling principally upon tho settle¬ ment of conflicting land cases iu the great western territory. Many thous¬ ands of these hail accumulated when he entered the office, but by diligence and labor a great mass of them has been disposed of. In bis statement he calls attention to the work of the law force iu adjudi¬ cating these claims, and shows that since March 3, 1893, to date, there has been an increase of 1,935 cases disposed of over those of the same pe¬ riod prior to 1893. Secretary Smith showed that the re¬ sult of his policy to preserve forest reservations would ultimately result in their better preservation ; also his im¬ provement in tho matter of issuing patents tends to prevent delays. His strict adherence to the rules of civil service aud general improvement in the various branches of the depart¬ ment are also shown in the statements. THE DAUNTLESS SEIZED By Federal Authorities Who Will Ask for Her Forfeiture. The federal authorities have seized the tug Dauntless, now lyiug iu quar¬ antine at Brunswick, Ga., and on her release will institute proceedings for forfeiture of the vessel based upon alleged violation of the neutrality laws. District Attorney Garev will con¬ duct the preliminary proceedings be¬ fore United States Commissioner Leh¬ man. The seizure was made under instructions from Collector of Customs Land, acting under spfciflc instruc¬ tions from the treasury department. District Spanish Consul de Lago, of Savannah, arrived in Brnuswick Tues- day and has been in consultation with local Vice Consul Terras, Collector Lamb aud Commissioner Lehman. What evidence the government has against the Dauntless is affording the widest field for speculation. As far as known to the general public there is not sufficient to convict, but it is plain to close observ¬ ers that the authorities are not tak¬ ing snch action as they have without some definite knowledge of the Daunt¬ less’s recent cruise. The present own¬ ership of the Dauntless also continues a matter of speculation, although it is believed by many that she now belongs to the Cuban junta, whose agent is with her in quarantine on board the Inca. The brnuswick owners neitner deny nor affirm these reports. _ - The lightning killed a male croquet player iu Mississippi the other day.

Secretory Hoke Smith closed bi. ai- the ?#w3S routine business of the department were signed and his active work closed wn When t Ex-Governor n Francis will ar- rive from M^souri and take the oath of office is not yet definitely known, though it will before the end of the week. The arrangement of his affairs at St Louts preparatory to his re- mova to Washington has taken more time than was expected. The record of the department for volume ol work performed during the past three and a half years is probably ahead of any period of its history. Secretary S nith has enforced the strictest civil service rules, making merit the sole ground of promotion, both in and outside the civil service. He lias unhesitatingly discharged his own appointees if their work was not well done.and the force of the depart¬ ment all over the country has been brought to a high state of proficiency. Iu the general laud office, the work is now practically up. This has in¬ volved not only a disposition of cur¬ rent work, but a large quantity of ac¬ cumulated wurk which was on hand March 0, 1893. The following statement of the work of some of tho laud divisions will illustrate: At ..... ho beginning . . ot .... the admimstra- , . . , tion there were pending in tbe lire- l«?’l ami ''ll" office ^ lvl8lou more tiian ° 5,000 _ f | f,’ 0 nnadjndj- v eriuu e Mt cated dual proofs in preemption tim- ber culture ami land claim, besidea a considerable amount of other business. This division has not only disposed of current work, but is now practically up to date. In the division charged with the ad justment of grants to aid in the con¬ struction of railroads there were pend¬ ing March 4, 1893, 5,000 cases, in¬ cluding applications within railroad limits. Current work has been kept up and the accumulated business re¬ duced to less than a thousand. Ihero were pending entries involv¬ ing railroad question, March 4, 1893, 3,106. Current work has been disposed of and the accumulated work reduced to 380 cases. Appeals from the land office are made to the secretary’s office. This business was about two years behind March 4, 1893. Current work is now being transacted. There were a large number of old cases pending for years, notably the Jennie Davis case, the Florida and Peuiusnlar railroad case, the terminus of the Northern Pacific. Secretary Smith has disposed of all of these old cases and leaves no such cases to his successor. The general policy of the depart¬ ment in disposing of the public funds has been to sustain, wherever it could be justly done, the rights of the set¬ tler, and to facilitate timber culture entries. In connection w-ilh tbe land office Secretary Smith has given much at¬ tention to the forestry question. Up on his application, the national acad¬ emy of sciences has appointed a com¬ mittee of skilled men who are now’ en- gaged iu preparing a general forestry plan for the United States. It is be¬ lieved the result of their work will be a great stride towards the protection and the cultivation of timber interest of the country. THE PORT ROYAL SOLD. -Messrs. Thomas and Ryan Buy the Road for $550,000. The Port Royal and Augusta rail¬ road was sold last Tuesday by Receiver Averill to General Sam Thomas aud Mr. Ryan for $550,000. The sale oc¬ curred at Port Royal. The Port Royal and Augusta is 112 miles long. It was built to give Port Royal an* outlet to the west and to give Angusta an independ¬ ent port outlet. High hopto were entertained. It was predicted that Port Royal would become the lead iDg port on the coast. But it wa? not long before the Central had ac¬ quired the line and Port Royal com plained that the Central was bottling her up for the benefit of Savannah. After the Central went into a receiv¬ ership the Port Royal and Angusta followed suit and the road has been in the care of the courts for four years. It has long been understood that Thomas and Ryan would buy it when it was put up. A few months ago they held all but nine shares of Centra ! railway stock in their names. They had previously sworn that they did not own a dollar’s worth of anything in the Southern. The Port Royal and Angusta was the road which made the application to Judge Simonton for an injunction re¬ straining the roads from cutting rates. HEAVY LOSS IN MICHIGAN CITY. Banks, Hotels and Business Houses Reduced to Ashes. A most destructive fire occurred in Saalt Ste Marie, M eh., Thursday. Over $300,000 worth of property wa- burned. Among tbe burned buildings are the Soo National bank block, the Rensse¬ laer block, the Chippewa house, the Cleveland house, the Metzger block, the Perry hotel, the postoffice and United States custom t ffice, the tele¬ phone exchange aud a number of vrooden structures.

While t h-re is vet no direct evi- deDce that the hand of the admimVra- tion ha9 had anvtbing to do iu giving * directiou to tbo convention, it is evi- dent that those who are closest to the administration are in very friend¬ ly touch with hfi’.irs, and it would surprise no one if Presi¬ dent Cleveland’s approval of the convention was made known by a let' ter from him before the close of the convention’s wmrk. It is generally believed that the leaders iu the move¬ ment are in direct communication with Buzzard’s Bay, and they openly avow that the president is in full sym¬ pathy with their tfforts. The convention will have represen¬ tatives from all but four states in the Union. The chief point of interest is as to what the convention will do in the nomination of a ticket for president and vice-president. Three distinct ele¬ ments have already formed. One favors making no nominations and adopt- ing a strong | platform ' aud adjourning.

SOUTHERN PROGRESS. I he Industrial Situation as Reported for the Past Week, Southern correspondents among prominent manufacturers and business men report a slight iDorease iu ibe volume of trade for the past week, which is accounted for largely by the Benson of the year. The free move¬ ment of cotton and new' wheat in some sections has made money more plenti¬ ful and has stimulated trade. Pros¬ pects are generally more encouraging than for some time, although many still hold to the opinion that no great activity of permanent improvement will prevail in industrial circles until after the election. Continued quietness characterizes the iron and steel market, Ihe only change noted being an increased inter¬ est in pig iron. Sellers of southern pig believe the critical period has been reached and passed, and although prices ore very low, the market has been strengthened by several large sales recently. In tbe Birmingham district the demand is increasing and prospects are encouraging for enhance¬ ment of values. Lumber is in fairly good demand and manufacturers and dealers would have no cause for complaint but that prices continue so low, barely cover¬ ing the cost of production. Textile manufacturers report a quiet trade, but indications are favorable for an increase as the season advances. A uumber of new mills are -under con¬ struction and many plants are adding machinery aud increasing their facili¬ ties. The coal mining business shows con¬ siderable activity. The fall trade has opened and contracts are being made for the winter business. New industries are reported for the week as follows: The Garrison Pav¬ ing Brick company, chartered ft Houston, Texas., with a capital of $100,000; electric light plants at Waynesboro, Ga., Bamberg, S. C., and Sistersville, W. Va. ; flouring mills at Elkins, Ark., Rothsay, Va., and a flour and grist mill to cost $30,000 at San Antonio, Tex. ; ice factories at Searcy, Ark., Hawkinsviile, Ga., New Orleans, La., Aiken, S. C., and car coupler works at San Antonio, Tex. The Sun Coal and Coke company, capital $100,- 000 will develop mines at Bend, W. Va., and gold mines will be opened at Canton and Villa Rica, Ga. Quaries are to be developed at Kings¬ ton, Tenn., a $15,000 rice mill will be baiit at Roanoke, La., a knitting mill at Lynchburg, Va., railroad shops at Fort Smith, Ark., and a $50,000 1 tim¬ ber mill at Augusta, Ga. The Sum¬ mit Lumber company, capital $36,000, has been chartered at Upland, Ark., and the Leavenworth Lumber com¬ pany, capital .$50,000, at Greenville, Miss. Other woodworking plants will be erected at Paducah, Ky., Shreve¬ port, La., and Williamsburg, Va. Among the new buildings are busi¬ ness houses at WinstoD, N. C. ; Nash¬ ville, Tenn., nod Tex a City, Tex. ; a $9,000 court house at Covington, La.; a S12.000 jail at Jacksboro, Tex., aud a $300,000, i ffice building at New Or¬ leans, La. — Tradfstnan (Chattauoogs, Tenn.) - It is said that Lv Hung Chaug only wears one )uq>eDder.

The duelling pistol now occupies its proper place, in the museum of the collector of relics of barbarism. The pistol ought to have besido it the pestle that turned out pills like bullets, to be shot like bullets at the target of the liver. But the pestle i3 still in evidence, and will be, probably, until everybody has tested the virtue of Ayer’s sugar coated pills. They treat the liver as a friend, not as an enemy. Instead of driving it, they coax it. They are compounded on the theory that the liver does its work thoroughly and faithfully under obstructing conditions, and if the obstructions are removed, the liver will do its daily duty.
