She holds back something, loses her head, becomes agi tated. forgets what she wants to say, and finally c mceals what she ought to have told, and this completely mystifies the doctor. Is it a wonder, therefore, that the doctor fails to cure the disease ? Still we cannot blame the woman, for it is very em barrassing to detail some of the symptoms of her suffering, even to her family physician. Thin i* lli reason why hundreds of thousands >f women are now in eorre spondenco with Mrs. Piukhum, at Lynn, Mass. To her they can give eve y symptom, so that when she is ready to advise them she is in possession of more facts from her correspondence with the patient than the physician can possibly obtain through a personal interview. Following we publish a letter from a woman showing the result of a correspondence with Mrs. Piakham. All such letters are considered absolutely confidential |>y Mrs. Pinkbam, and are never published in any way or manner without the consent in writing of the patient; but hundreds of women are so grateful for the health which Mrs. Pinkham and her medicine have been able to restore to them that they not only consent to publishing their letters, but write asking that this be done in order that other women who suffer may be benefited by their experience. Mrs. Ella Rice, Chelsea, Wis., writes: "DiuMm.

The telegraph line now in course of construction from a point on Norton sound, Alaska, through the gold mine camps on the Upper Yukon river to connect with the Canadian landline system in Alberta province presents some curious difficulties to engineers. There being no wood in the country, steel poles are employed similar to those used for the trolley wires in Brooklyn and winter is selected as the season for work, because these poles can be most easily sledded over the ground and ice of the frozen rivers and lakes at that time. Even in sum mer the ground for a depth of twelve inches down is frozen solid, and in setting a pole the operation consists simply in blasting a hole in the froz en soil, sticking in a pole and pouring in water. This freezes, and, unless the climate of Alaska changes, will re main frozen indefinitely, holding the pole firmly and solidly. It is expect ed that this line will be in operation through to Cape Nome early next summer.—New York Sun.

ROADS ARE YICTORS IN RATE DISPUTES High Court Decides Long and Short Haul Contest. MANY TOWNS ARE AFFECTED Contention Was of Great Import ance and Attracted Much Public Attention. A Washington special says: In the United States supreme court Monday an opiniou was handed down by Jus tice White in various cases involving the long aud short haul clause of the interstate commerce law. The principal opinion was rendered in the case of the East Tennessee, Vir ginia and Georgia Railroad Company, aud the charge was to the effect that a lower rate was charged on freight car ried to Nashville than was charged on freight to Chattauoogn, the distance to the first poiut being greater than to the latter. The decisions of the interstate com merce commission, the circuit court aud the circuit court of appeals were all antagonistic to the railroad com pany, though on different grounds. The opinion handed down .Monday re versed all these decisions and was in favor of the railroad company, though without prejudice. The decisions in the other similar cases were on the same lines. GEORGIA STATE ROAD INVOLVED. Two other cases decided were pro ceedings against the Clyde Steamship Company, while the fourth was against the Western aud Atlantic Railroad Company. In the latter case the charge of discrimination was made with reference to the rates from Cin cinnati to Atlanta as against other places on the line of the road between the two points, including Marietta, Cartersvjlle, Kingston, Adairsville and Calhoun. Iu one of the Clyde cases rates on the Georgia railroad are in volved, ami in the other case rates on the West Point and Western Railroad of Alabama. In his opinion in the East Tennessee case Justice White said that the de cision of the circuit court was not in accord with the finding of facts by the commission. The decision of the su preme court was “the decree of the circuit court of appeals should he re* versed, with costs, and the case re manded to the circuit court, with in structions to set aside its decree ad judging that the order of the com mis sion be enforced, and to dismiss the application made for that purpose, with costs, the whole to be without prejudice to the right of the commis sion to proceed upon the evidence al ready introduced before it upon such further pleadings and evidence as it may allow to be made or introduced, to hear and determine the matter iu controversy according to law.” CLYDE STEAMSHIP CASES. In the cases of the Clyde Steamship company, the decrees of the circuit court of appeals and of the circuit court were modified by providing that “the dismissal of the bills shall be without prejudice to the right of the interstate commerce commission, if it so elects, to make an original investi gation of the questions contained in the records pertinent to the complaints presented to the body.” As so modi fied the decrees were affirmed. The East Tennessee railroad case came frgm the circuit court of appeals to the supreme court and was first i heard in the circuit court for the eas i tern district of Tennessee. The other cases were all first heard in the circuit court for the northern district of Georgia and came through the circuit court of appeals for the fifth circuit to the supreme court.

Famous Kentuckian Imaginec • Vendetta Was After Him and Opened Fusilade. A special from Lexington, Ky., says With theory, “The Vendetta!” on hit lips, General Cassius Marcellus Clay the famous abolitionist and duelis: aud former United States minister ti Russia, Friday morning led his little bodyguard to battle against a sheriff’* posse which bad gone to Whitehall, his palatial mansion in Madison ccun ty, to serve papers upon the general it a civil case instituted against him by his daughter, Mary B. Clay. Many shots were fired on each side and the p>osss finally departed without accomplishing the purpose of its visit. It is reported that General Clay was wounded in tbs affray. Friday’s conflict was directly con nected witn ihe domestic woes of Gen eral Clay which have darkened tht closing years of Lis life. The principals in the battle wer< General Clay and two of his body guard. Bud Literell and Jim Bolit on one Bide, aud Sheriff Colyer, Dep uty Terrill and Frank Mason, of Mad ison county, on the other. The writ which the sheriff sought tc serve was one ordering the delivery o? some furniture belonging to the gen eral’s daughter. The officers ap proached the house from the north passing through the apple orchard The general’s Russian bulldog set up a barking and the officers stopped at the yard. The general’s bodyguard promptly came to the door and the sheriff announced that he desired 6 personal interview with the master of Whitehall. General Clay iu a fev moments came to the door, revolver it baud. “General Clay,” said the sheriff “we are here on a peaceful mission.’ “You are on my property without leave and I will shoot you,” replied the old man, who, almost blind, strain ed his eyes us if trying to make out the location of an enemy. “Don’t shoot, general, we arc friends,” shouted Sheriff Colyer. “Spies!” he returned, and handing his pistol to one of his men, he took instead a repeating shotgun and cock ed it. Hheriff Colyer sought shelter behind a large oak tree near by and his dt-pu ties also hid themselves. Alt pulled their weapons. “General Clay shrieked, “The Ven detta! The Vendetta!” and began firing in the direction from which he heard the voices. The sheriff fired in return after th* general had emptied the weapon and his deputies also fired, they say, not at the old man, but hoping to scare him into seeking shelter. Colyer wac shooting wild also, not desiring to kill the old man, who, although doing Lie best to kill them, believed he wac firing upon an enemy. Alter emptying the shotgun General Clay tried his revolver, which would not fire. He then took from the hand; of the other guard a rifle and and be gau discharging it at the frightened sherifl’atid deputies. Exhausting hie ammunition, Geueral Clay sought re treat. He went into the room aud putting up the iron bars, ordered his men to adjust the pistols, three large navy weapons, always kept lying on & dresser. He armed himself with a large bowie knife and butcher knife. Sta tioning himself at the side of the door, he awaited furthur attack. After General Clay had retreated in to his den Sheriff Colyer and his mer. left the yard. They found a negre boy, and sent him to the house to try to get General Clay to come out un armed, and meet them, but in this they were not successful, and they returned without serving the process. Sheriff Coiyer announced that he would w ait a day or two before trying to serve the papers. The trouble originated some months ago when General Clay, who had been left alone after bis child-wife, Dora Richardson, ran away aud left him. sent for Mary B. Clay, a daughter, to come aud live with him. For some weeks they got along nicely and the veteran appeared to be satisfied. Two weeks ago he told his daughter to go to his family and secure their consent to release all claims on the property which he occupies. He wanted to give the property to Dora, the young divorced wife, who is now the wife of Riley Brock, and resides at Pinckard, in Woodford county, on property given her by the general. The daughter went away according to orders and, returning a day or so later, was met at the door by the old man. His eyes were fiery. In his trembling hand he held a revolver grasped tightly. He demanded tc know the result of the visit. “It’s all right,” said the frightened daughter. “All right, is it?” retorted the in furiated man. “You lie. I know yon are deceiving me.” Leveling his re volver at his daughter’s head, he added: “Leave my house and never come here again.” Miss Clay later on secured a writ o( delivery for her furniture and placed the paper in the hands of Sheriff Col yer.

HAS A BIG ARMY MOBILIZED Outbreak Starts In Provinces of Mongolia and Shen Si. Court Alarmed. Advices from Pekin state that the rumors which have been current dur ing the last few days of the outbreak of a rebellion, headed by Genera! Tung Fnh Sian,the former commander of the northern army, in the provinces of Mongolia and Sheu Si, have been absolutely authenticated. Li Hung Chang aud Prince Ching have received information on the sub ject which, though iudefinite, still proves that the court is seriously alarmed. General Fusian was according to last accounts about 150 miles from the court with 11,000 regular troops, al' supposed to be devoted to himself. The court has about the same number of soldiers at Sian Fu, but it is proba ble that,the troops of Tung Fu Sian are better drilled and better armed. It is said that the Mongolian rebel lion was brought about through agents of Prince Tuan and General Tun Fn Sian. Li Hung Chang thinks there are about 5,000 troops in Mongolia aud inclines to the belief Ihat they have not joined in the rebellion. He does not think the court, is in any danger and thinks the object of Prince Tuan, who was last reported at Ning Hsu with 10,000 men, prepared to re sist arrest, and Geueral Tung Fa Sian is to create a diversion of interest in order to force unconditional protection of themselves. Unofficial Chinamen of intelligence regard the rising as most unfortunate at the present time to the interests of China, aud as possibly meaning the use of foreigu troops to protect the court itself. The ministers of the power* do not think that, provided foreigu interests do not suffer, any present interference is likely. If the dynasty should be overthrown it would, to a certain ex tent, the peace negotiations, but they consider that a regime not bound by tradition* like those of the pre#etit court would probably be tit itch cur tailed. Prince Ching, who, a* • relative, may be considered to take the court view of the situation, thinks the ro hellion is a storm in a teacup. He says the present court is loved and esteemed by nine-tenths of the people of China, and that the same propor tion of able-bodied men iu China would rise to protect the existing dynasty. The empress dowager, as the advisor of the emperor, holds the place in tha affections of the people not dreamt of and not understood by foreigners.

The remaining bodies of Americans were shipped homeward Monday morning. They number fifty-four and left on board tbe transport Egbert. The Egbert also takes twenty-seven military prisoners, a number of sick men, the discharged soldiers, the teamsters and other civilian employes. PRESIDENT LOUBET GUARDED. Rumor Current That Assassins Are After French President. A dispatch to the London Evening News from Paris says the French de tectives were privately informed of a projected attempt to assassinate Pres ident Loubet during his coming trip. Extraordinary precautions have been taken everywhere and the usual police protection has been doubled. Outsiders have been excluded from the railroad stations. Ten thousand soldiers have beeu detailed to maintain order during the president’s stay at Nice and stringent orders have been issued to rigorously suppress tbe slightest hostile demonstration. President Loubet is inclined to laugh at the detectives’ fears that an attempt will be made upon his life. DEATH CLAIHS SAILORS. Coal Laden Vessel Dashed to Pieces on Massachusetts Shore. Advices from Gloucester, Mass., state that the storm just before the Easter dawn threw on tbe jagged rocks of eastern point the old Calais two masted schooner Hyena, coal la den, and within an hour the waves had torn her to pieces and swept off her crew of four men. Two of them, Elmer and Bennett Stanley, managed to reach shore, but her skipper, Cap taiu R. B. Dix, of West Tremont.Me., and Steward Fuller, were probably killed by being dashed on the rocks. The two battered sailors reached Gloucester Suiidav morning. FOR SEVEN CIGARS Filipinos Revealed Aguinaldo’s Retreat To a Young Floridian. J. D.
