nmmmhain Saved me
from an Opteratfoit. ’*
Hospitals in our great cities are sad places to visit.
'* Three-fourths of the patients lying on those snow-white
beds are women and girls.
Why should this be the case ?
Because they have neglected themselves.
Every one of these patients in the hospital beds had plenty
of warning in that bearing-down feeling, pain at the left or
right of the womb, nervous exhaustion, pain in the small of
the back. All of these things are indications of an unhealthy
condition of the ovaries or w omb.
What a terrifying thought! these poor souls are lying
there on those hospital beds awaiting a fearful operation.
Do not drag along at home or in your place of employ
ment until you are obliged to go to the hospital and submit to
an examination and possible operation. Build up the female
system, cure the derangements which have signified them
selves by danger signals, and remember that Lydia E.
Plnkham’s Vegetable Compound has saved thousands
of Women from the hospital. Read the letter here published
with the full consent of the waiter, and see how she escaped
the knife by a faithful reliance on Mrs. Pinkham's advice
and the consistent treatment of her medicines.
Mrs. Knapp tells of her Great Gratitude.
„ !' Mrs - I’inkham I have received much benefit from using vour
Vegetable t ompound and Sanative Wash. After my child was born, blood
■■ poison set in, which left me with granulated in-
Bflammation of the womb and congested ovaries.
I had suffered from suppressed and painful
menstruation from a girl. The doctors toid me
the ovaries would have to be removed. I took
treatment two years to escape an operation,
but still remained in miserable health in both
body and mind, expecting to part with my
reason with each coming month. After using
one bottle of the Compound, I became entirely
rid of the trouble in my head. I continued to
use your remedies until cured.
“ The last nine months have been passed in
perfect good health. This, I know, I owe en
tirely to Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege

UNDER THE SNOW.
Ghastly Truths Revealed on the Disap
pearance ot Winter’s White Mantle.
Deadly dangers lurk in the ground !
left bare by the departing snow. All
Winter long there have been accumu- 1
lating deadly disease germs.
These have been protected and
kept alive by the covering of snow
and now. with the first warm days,
these death-bringing microbes are
awakened by the rays of the sun, and
as the ground dries they are carried to
all corners of the community in the
dust that is blown everywhere by the
Spring winds.
The human body at this time is par
ticularly susceptible to these germs,
especially the rerrrs ef fevers. The
system has been depleted by the fore
going Winter. The blcod is sluggish
and filled with impurities. The nerves
have not recovo- ed from the tension
they have been under for the past
months. The stomach, the bowels, the
kidreys, the liver are all at their
worst.
It is, therefore, not strange that
these germs c? disease find fertile
ground in which to thrive, flourish and
develop into deadly ills. .
Spring Is the time of year when one
should fear an attack of fever, espe
cially when the system is depleted.one
should dread anv severeillness. Th
vitality is at a low ebb. 'There is less
power of resistance to throw off di
sease, and it is cn this account that
fatalities are so much greater during
the Spring" mon*'”, than at any other
time of the year.
There is but cn* way to ward off
such dangers, and that is to fortify

To do this take Dr. Greene’s Ner

counteracting the effects of others
that may accumulate.
Following is an instance that will
illustrate the wonderful power of Dr.
Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve
remedy.
Sheriff Jonas T.* Stevens, who is
sheriff of Hyde Park, Vt., says:—“l
have used Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood
and nerve remedy especially as a blood
purifier. I had a very severe humor
on my arms, accompanied by a very
bad itching, so severe that I could not
sleep nights, causing me great incon
venience by the loss of sleep by the
itching. A friend advised me to take
Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood ami nerve
remedy, which I did with the most
satisfactory results# for the trouble
has entirely disappeared, and I can
now rest comfortably nights and have
none of my former misery from the
burning, itching sensations.”

"BRITISH GREED,”
SAYS MORGAN
Is Obstacle In the Way of
Building Canal.
PLAUDITS DISPLEASE TEDDY
He Calls an Abrupt Halt to Gal
lery Demonstrations In
His Honor.
In the senate Wednesday Senator
Morgan, of Alabama, addressed that
body on his resolution to abrogate the
Clayton-Buhver treaty.
“There cannot be anything more
precious today to Great Britain,” said
Mr. Morgan, “than to prevent the con
struction of the Nicaragua canal. If
Great Britain by her ‘golden’ silence j
can prevent that, her profits will con- j
tinue and the longer she can do that, j
the greater will be her profits on the j
Suez canal. She has remained as silent '
as the Sphinx which looks out upon j
the Nile and upon the desert, and she !
seems to be looking out upon a desert
of wasted American opportunities and, j
sad to say, American honor. Great !
Britain is still silent.
He called her silence “golden” be
cause he asserted, Great Britain
through Liverpool, which was the
commercial center of the world, was
being enriched because of the lack of
the Nicaragua canal.
With some feeling in referring to
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, the senator
said:
“We make no compromise with
Great Britain on that subject. We
will make no concession to Great Brit
ain in relation to the treaty. What we
shall do with it (and some of our peo
ple are opposed even to that) is that
we shall declare it abrogated.
“If the vote on my resolution could
be taken today it would inform the
president of the United States that he
has no two-thirds majority in the sen
ate to adopt any compromise he may
make with Great Britain. If it is the
purpose of Great Britain to still look
for delay she will not get it. If it be
her determination to pick a quarrel
with us about it, she will find the
United States can muster at least half
the number of men who voted for the
president in the last election—fighting
men.
“And she will find, when that war
terminates, that the steel band w'hich
binds the throne in London with
Australia and India and passes through
Canada will have been rent in twain,
and with its severance down will go
the empire. She will find that her
possessions in the Caribbean sea have
lapsed. She will find that she has
overtaxed our patience. She has start
ed with anew king and upon a new*
career that will break up the empire
and reduce the king to the sovereignty
of his ow n island.
“Does uot Great Britain suppose
she can escape from the terrors of the
existence of the situation and the
prospective situation everywhere aud
that she can find a favorable opportu
nity to display her military powers
against the United States?”
Mr. Morgan said he did not boast
of the power of the United States in
money, men or valor, but he was
thoroughly conscious of them and
gloried iu that consciousness, because
he knew when the supreme moments
should come and* aDy power in the
world should undertake to bridle the
United States by placing such re
straints upon her sovereignty as were
contained in the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty the American people would re
sist to the bitter end.
“And that resistance,” he exclaimed
j vehemently, “will mean the wiping
out of any power on earth that under
takes the job.”
Without concluding his speech, Mr.
Morgan yielded the floor, and at 2:45
o’clock, on motion of Mr. Warren, of
Wyoming, the senate went into execu
tive session, adjourning fifteen min
utes later.
ROOSEVELT SHOWS DISPLEASURE.
When the senate convened the gal
leries were packed with people, a ma
jority of whom, as on recent days,
were composed of visitors to the city.
Promptly at noon Vice President
Roorevelt entered the chamber. As he
stepped forward to the desk to call the
senate to order a burst of spontaneous
applause rang through the galleries.
With evident manifestations of his
disapproval, the vice president seized
his gavel and rapped sharply twice for
order. Glancing sternly around the
galleries he said, aud the words cut
through the chamber like a knife:
“If there is any applause or disor
der the sergeant-at-arms*wi!l clear the
galleries. ”
The chaplain, in his invocation, re
ferred w ith deep pathos to the sorrow
which has fallen upon the junior sen
ator from Alabama, Mr. Pettus. and
his wife m the death of their only son.
Inquiry from Mr, Teller brought out
the fact that it was not the intention
of Mr. Platt, of Connecticut, to press
his cloture resolution duriug the pres
ent session.

Hawaiian Legislature Expells Ter
ritorial Sccretiry and Agent
Of Pre‘ident M ;Kin!ey. *
Advices from Honolulu, via San
Francisco, state that the first territo
rial legislature of Hawaii began its
sessions in Honolulu on February 20th
and has been in session since.
J. A. Akina, independent, a Haw
aiian-Chinese member from the island '
of Kauaai, was elected speaker of the ;
house and Dr. Nicholas Russell, of
Hawaii, a white man, was chosen pre- '
sident of the senate.
On the third day Secretary of the
Territory Cooper was ordered out of
the house apd escorted by the ser
geant at arms. Acting umjrr the sec
tion of the territorial act which pro
vides that he “shall record and pre
serve the laws and proceedings of the
legislature,” Secretary Cooper took a
place on the floor of the house with a
stenographer to secure a record of the
proceedings.
Representative Beckley, independ
ent, offered a resolution requiring him
to leave. The resolution set forth
that his presence on the floor was a
violation of the rule that the three de
partments of government—executive,
judicial and legislative—must be kept
separate, and it was urged in debate
that Governor Dole had put Cooper
where he was with a view to intimi
dating members.
Cooper was declared by Republi
cans to be present as a representative
of President McKinley, as he had
been ordered to transmit a report to
Washington, but even this plea did
not deter the independents. After s
long debate they passed the Bleckley
resolution by a vote of 20 to 9—the
nine beiDg all the Republicans in the
house. •
With both houses' iu control of the
independent home rule party and con
taining a majority of native Hawaii
ans, the legislature has already been
the scene of some remarkable proceed
ings and the end of the session prom
ises to see many very radical measures
adopted, among those to which the
controlling pariy is committed being a
liquor dispensary law, a taxation sys
tem that will be a combination of sin
gle tax and income tax doctrines, au
election law based on
representation and a law excluding
from the territory all persons who may
arrive afflicted with consumption
or leprosy.
The question of languages is another
source of trouble. The organic act
says that all proceedings of the legis
lature shall be conducted in English.
Half of the members cannot speak En
glish, and Hawaiian interpreters have
been employed in both houses. It is
the opinion of some lawyers that this
will invalidate all proceedings and this
matter will come before tue courts
when some laws have been passed.
Chief Justice Frear and Governor
Dole, who were members of the com
mission that adopted the rule in ques
tion, have expressed the opinion that
it intended to provide that no language
but English should be spoken. The
independents claim that laws and reso
lutions, etc., shall be in English.
Every measure and every speech is be
ing given in both English and Ha
waiian.

Roosevelt’s First Day of Business
Develops Lively Debate Over
Proposed Cloture Rule.
A New York Dispatch says: John
E. Searles, the well known financier
and at present iu the general corpora
tion and financial business, made an
assignment Tuesday for the benefit of
creditors to Edward F. Dwight.
Mr. Searles is president and direc
tor of the American Cotton Companv,
American Type Founders Company
and the Hyatt Roller Bearing Com
pany, vice president and director of
the Minneapolis and St. Louis Rail
road Company, International Trust
Company and Union Traction and Elec

People’s Trust Company of Brooklyn,
Terminal lmprovemert Company and
Mercantile Trust Company, member
Lawyers’ Club and Down Town Asso
ciation.
Charles E. Hughes, of council for
the assignee, said:
“The assignment of Mr. Searles
was made for the protection of his
general creditors in order that the in
terest of all might be fully protected.
His assets are believed to be largely in
excess of his liabilities, but include a
considerable amount of unlisted se
curities which were not readily con
vertible into cash to meet obligations
maturing at this time. The assign
ment in no way affects the American
Cotton company or any other corpora
tion with which Mr. Searles is con
nected.”
The Journal of Commerce estimates
Mr. Searles’ liabilities anywhere from
81,090,000 to §2,000,000.

The Kind You Have Always Bought
FINALE IN THE HOUSE.
Closing Hours Occupied In Passing
Congratulatory Resolutions.
A Washington special says: The
house closed its session at 11:45 o’clock
Monday amid a demonstration from
its members following the delivery of
an impressive valedictory by Speaker
Henderson. For an hour the body
had been in the throes of dissolution,
with little business to perform. The
galleries were almost empty, for there
were too many sights and scenes with
out the building, and too many re
strictions on admission to permit an
overflowing assemblage.
Shortly before the closing hour Mr.
Richardson, of Tennessee, the minor
ity leader, presented resolutions testi
fying the high regard for the house
for the able, impartial and dignified
manner in which Speaker Henderson
and administered the duties of presid
ing officer. The resolution was un
animously adopted by a rising vote.
Then the speaker delivered his closing
words to the house, thanking the
members for their co-operation through
a busy and eventful congress. He
concluded at 11:45 and announced the
sessions of the house for the fifty-sixth
congress adjourned.

DEBTS DOWN SEARLES
Prominent New York Financier
Makes Assignment to Protect
His Creditors.
A Washington specialsays: Tues
day’s session of the senate was prac
tically the first of the fifty-seventh
congress, that of Monday being brief
and routiue in character. Au im
mense throng crowded the galleries.
Vice President Roosevelt’s appear
ance evoked a great waive of applause
from the galleries. After the reading
of the journal the vice president ad
ministered the oath of office to Mr.
Nelson, of Minnesota, and Mr. Me-
Laurin, of Mississippi.
(Senators Allison and Cockrell were
named by Mr. Roosevelt as a cofhmit
tee to notify the president that a
quorum of the senate was in session
aud ready to receive any messages.
Mr. Platt, of Connectieutt, gave no
tice of an amendment to the senate
rules, which he proposed to offer, to
“limit debate upon any bill or resolu
tion to reasonable limits, iu order that
the majority of the body may be able
to do business in the senate.”
Mr. Cockrell suggested, in a spirit
of facetiousness, that the reasons for
the adoption of the proposed rules bad
ceased to exist in the se: ate, and,
therefore, it was not necessary now to
adopt it.
“They will arise again,” remarked
Mr. Platt. f
Mr. Mason, of Illinois, who, since
his advent to the senate, four years
ago, has been insistent that the rules
of the body be changed so as to enable
the majority to transact business, gave
notice of an amendment he proposed
to offer to the amendment of Mr.
Platt. He insisted that the time
should be fixed in the rule for the
limiting of debate. What is a “rea
sonable time,” he declared, was a
question that would be discussed for
twelve months in the senate, which,
he said, is the only legislative body in
the world in which the majority is
controlled by the minority. Referring
to the defeat of the river aud harbor
bill, in the closing hours of the session
just expired, he declared that the ma
jority was as helpless to prevent the
defeat of the measure as was the leg
islature of Kansas.
The amendment ht would propose,
he said, was a modification of the Reed
rules of the house of representatives.
He said his amendment would enable
the opposition to any measure to have
ample time for its discussion, but lim
ited the time of debate to proper
length.
Mr. Bacon, of Georgia, utterly dis
approved of the proposed change in
the rules, and declared his purpose to
do everything in his power to defeat
the amendment, He warned the sen
ate that if the proposed rule wlls
adopted it soon would go to the whole
length, and the spectacle would be
presented of a congress in which not
odlv the house, but the senate would
be dominated by one or two men.
Mr. Wellington, of Maryland, chal
lenged the propriety of the presenta
tion of such a proposition as that of
Mr. Platt at the extraordinary session
of the senate and declared his purpose
later to raise against it a point of or
der. Speaking of the defeat of the
river aud harbor bill, to which he said
he had contributed, he declared:
“This proposed rule is offered as a
means of revenge.”
Mr. Platt, interrupting him, said:
“I will say to the senator that I was
not in favor of the passage of the river
and harbor measure.”
Mr. Wellington replied that he was
delighted tc know the senato# (Mr.
Platt) was not in the conspiracy to se
cure the enactment of the bill. He
declared that while he was arguing
against it, in accordance with his right
as a senator, he was threatened unless
he ceased his opposition that a cloture
rule would be presented aud its adopt
ion insisted upon. “I desire to say,
said he, “that I bow to no party and
to no man when my conscience tells
me that a measure is wrong.”
After Mr. Morgan had offered a%
resolution declaring the Clayton-Bul
wer treaty between the United Staten
and Great Britain abrogated, the
senate, at 1:05 o’clock, on motion of
Mr. Hoar, went into executive session
and nt 1:45 p. m. adjourned. During
the session the president sent in his
list of renominated cabinet members
which was promptly ratified.
