"BjphtSpeak tome/' All manner of extravagant expressions are possible when a woman’B nerves are overwrought. The spasm at the top of the wind pipe or bronchial tubes, “ball rising in the throat,” violent beating of the heart, laughing and crying by turns, muscular spasms (throwing the arms about), frightened by the most insignificant occur rences —are all symptoms of a hysterical condition and se rious derangement of the female organs. Any female complaint may produce hysterics, which must be regarded as a symptom only. The cause, however yields quickly to Lydia E. Pinkliam’s Vegetable Com pound, which acts at once upon the organ afflicted and the nerve centers, dispelling effectually all those distressing symptoms. Mrs. Lewis Says: *• I Feel Like a New Person, Physically and nentally.” " Dear Mrs. Pinkham I wish to speak a good word for Lydia E. Plnkham’s Vegetable Compound. For you is I had ovarian trouble and suffered everything from nervousness, severe headache, and pain in back and abdomen. I had consulted different physicians, but decided to try your medicine, and I soon found it was giving me much relief.

MIGfITY STRUGGLE IS PROMISED Union Pacific Line Is Bone of Con. tention and Both Are Seek ing Its Control. A New York special says: From the 1 tremendous market movements in | Union Pacific and Atchison stock, big advances occurring in each Thursday, it became clear that a fight is going on between great money mterests over the establishment of trans-con tinental systems. It now appears that this fight cen ters around the plans of George J Gould and E. H. Harriman to estab lish a vast network of roads from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean, and Wil liam K. Vanderbilt and the Pennsyl vania railroad people, seeing what was up, have made up their minds to frus trate them. With the Gould and Harriman peo ple on the one hand are said to be Kuhn, Loeb & Cos., who are identified with the Union Pacific management, while Mr. Morgan is believed to have lent his influence to (he Vanderbilt *nd Pennsylvania force.s. The Rockefellers, who are identified with Mr Gould in the Southwestern deal, are said to have stood aloof from the Union Pacific incident and to have done nothing which could be criti cised by Mi. Morgan, with whom they are associated in many affairs. Following the discovery that Messrs. Gould and Harriman wanted to control the Union Pacific, carrying with it the Southern Pacific, it became plain that the Missouri Pacific and Illinois Cen tral might be substituted for the Chi cago and Northwestern as the eastern connection of ihe Union Pacific,there by greatly injuring the Vanderbilt po sition in the west. In order to protect Ihe North western and New York Central, William K. Vanderbilt started to accu mulate a large amount of Union Pa cifi and Messrs. Gould and Harriman learning this, also bought enormous quantities of this stock. Meanwhile the Pennsylvania, hav ing lost the Burlington to the North ern Pacific and Great Northern, also had to fix up its western fences. It bought large quantities of Atchison. This road gives a through line to Ban Francisco out of Chicago. Good au thorities assert that the Pennsylvania began buying Atchison stock many months ago, but did not think it was necessary to get enough stock to exer cise control, if need be,until the Gould and Burlington deals developed. Now, it is asserted, both the New York Central and Pennsylvania,which entered into a close alliance two years ago,never had such need to stand shoul der to shoulder as they have at present. If the euorrnpus buying of Union Pacific lias secured control of that property in the interest of the North western, New York Central, and per haps St. Paul, there is no necessity for controlling the Atchison, but if the Union Pacific has been lost to Gould aud Harriman the heavy ac cumulation of Atchison Thursday would indicate that that company is needed as an outlet to the Pacific coast for both the Pennsylvania and Vander bilt linos. There is another serious side to the fight. The Pennsylvania has been try ing to prevent the entrance of the Gould lines into Pittsburg. A recent dispatch from that city stated that the Wheeling and Lake Erie would not be so extended, but that the Penn sylvania would allow Mr. Gould fa vorable trackage rights over the Bal timore and Ohio. It is officially stated that this offer will not be accepted, but the Wheeling road will be extended into Pittsburg as rapidly as possible. This will di rectly bring in both the Wabash and Missouti Pacific, giving them a large Ateel aud iron tonuage. Mr. Carnegie, before selling out to the steel trust, made a contract to deliver a vast amount of his tonnage, aggregating more than 1,000,000 tons a year, to the Wheeling road. Mr. Carnegie was himself to build an independent line to tidewater, presumably at Balti more. He is understood to have made an offer for the Western Maryland rail road. Now, it is asserted, Mr. Gould intends to carry out some such plan in order to prepare for any fight that he may have with the Pennsylvania and Vanderbilt people. Mr. Gould has further irritated Wil | liam K. Vanderbilt by planning an ex tension of the \\ beefing road to the vicinity of Cleveland. When the new i link of the Wabash in northern Indi ana and Chicago is built, the Gould sys tem will have a direct line from Cleve land to Chicago, paralleling the Lake j Shore all the way. FAITHFUL DUU KEPT GUARD. Two Little Master* Go Down to Water* *ry G ave Clnsped In Death** Embrace. Jimmy and Joseph Tucker, aged | eleven and nine, left their home for i Clinton, S. C., Sunday morning. When they did not return search was made and at 3 o’clock Monday morn ing, a little dog, the play fellow of the boys, was found lying upon their clothes on the bank of Little river. The stream was dragged and the bodies found locked in each other’s arms. LAYINC A CHOST. Architect Relates His Experience (n Lo cating _ Mysterious Noise. “There is certainly nothing more dis tracting than a slight monotonous noise,” said a young architect of this city. “I mean a noise of the drumming or tap ping variety, repeated with mechanical regularity. One can become accustomed to the worst kind of a promiscuous hub bub and learn to enjoy tranquility next door to a barber shop, but the tap-tap tap of a loose shingle or rickety window frame will bore its way into the nerve centers like dropping water eating into a stone. What reminded me of the sub ject was a peculiar exneriencce I had last week. A friend of mine who w’orks in one of the railroad offices, sent for me in considerable distress and begged me to come home with him and locate a noise that he said was driving his wife almost frantic. The couple live in a suite of rooms over a store in an old and heavily constructed brick building. .“I found the noise that was bothering them was audible only in the right-hand front apahtment, which they used as a parlor, and as soon as I heard it I appre hended their desire to be rid of it. It was a curious sound—a sort of faint me tallic rapping, which came apparently from nowhere in particular and was about as loud in one place as another. Such a solid -bidding was not likely to be subject to vibrations, and I confess I was considerably puzzled. I listened at tentively at all the walls, shifted every article of furniture in the room, and went over the entire building above and be low, without finding a clew to the nui sance. The only place the noise could be heard was in that one room and there seemed to be absolutely nothing to ac count for it. My friend’s wife is nat urally a nervous woman, and she had worked herself into such a condition that she declared she wouldn’t remain an other day on the premises. “At last, just before retreating de feated, I threw open one of the windows and noticed an old drain pipe running down by the casement. 'Hello!’ I said to myself, ‘let’s see where that thing goes to.’ I went downstairs and found it led into an areaway and from thence across the back yard to the rear of an other building, where a pistern was evi dently once located. Six inches from its open end was a sheet of tin, covering a hole of some kind in the wall, and as soon 0 as I drew near the secret was out. There was a steam engine for an electric light plant in the building, and the loose tin vibrated steadily whenever it was in motion, which was practically day and night. The drain pipe simply acted as a speaking tube, and, returning to the room, I found the upper end broken off in line with a big crack in the window casing. I jerked down the pipe and the ghost was laid. Architects and builders are quite frequently called in, by the way, to locate and suppress annoying sounds. The nuisance is much more common than anybody would sunnose who has never suffered from it. Not long ago a heavy partition in a building here was torn open simply to get out a loose lath that was worrying the tenants on both sides.”— A Jew Orleans Times-Dcmocrat. HER PIECE DE RESISTANCE. Mr. Fraidover —I don’t dare bring any of the fellows home unexpectedy, be cause I never know what my wife may have for dinner. Mr. Bravitout—Oh, I alwa-s know what my wife will have, because in a case of that sort she invariably has the same thing. Mr. Fraidover (interestedly)—And what is that?

A man named Antonio Lc Blanc, in 1883. killed a man. his wife and a servant, and tried to kill a daughter of the same man in order to get a gold watch which belonged to the daughter. Le Blanc wished to present the watch to his sweetheart. Le Blanc was hanged in Morristown, where a pub lic park is now located. His body was turned over to a physician for dissection. The pocket-book was for years the prop erty of Sheriff Endow, who hartged him. rt' Steam I.ooomiitivc Rnomei).

A cable dispatch from Pekin says: At a meeting of the ministers Wed nesday the report of the indemnity committee was read. Regarding the resources of China the report was very voluminous. It was practically a re petition of Jameson’s well-known 1 amphlet upon the subject. Sir Rob ert Hart offered suggestions similar to those already credited to him. It is claimed that the revenues from all available sources will not allow China to pay the indemnity unless assistance is rendered. The subject of Count von YValder see’s letter will be taken up at the next meeting and a reply to it will be .drafted. The ministers personally object to the tone of the letter. They claim that they know what they want without being told. They particular ly object to any of the legation guards being under any authority except that of the ministers themselves. A Washington dispatch says: The German and French ambassadors and Mr. Rogestvensty, for the Russian ambassador, were among Thursday’s callers on Mr. Hill, acting secretary of state. The discussion was almost en tirely on Chinese affairs, the press dispatches as to an agreement on $273,000,000 indemnity and on a change of custom duties having ex cited considerable interest in official and diplomatic circles. None of the callers wore able to con firm the report, but the opinion was general that an agreement on indem nity has been reached The prevailing view was that $273,001,000 represent ed a compromise between the mini mum amount urged by the United States and the maximum urged by the other powers. The original total of claims amounted to a half billion dol lars, so lhat the present total repre sents a scaling down of about 40 per cent. At this rate the claim of the ; United States, which originally was about $25,000,000, would he cut to ! about $18,000,003. It is believed in Washington that ; the hitch which is said to have arisen j at Pekin over the proposition to in- ! crease the Chinese custom duties to : meet the indemnities demanded by the foreign powers is caused by the i broaching by Mr. Rockliili of his plan for the aboluion of the Likin duties as e condition for his acquieeence in ; the customs increase. The United ! States government has in the past ad- j mitted a readiness to permit the Chi- | uese to increase the custom rates pro- j vidiag there was no discrimination i between the powers. Minister Wu says that the present 5 per cent is to tally inadequate to provide a sinking fund for anew loan. BRYAN FLAYS M’LAURIN. Nvbrflitkan Take* South CiHollnH Senator To 'lusk For Hi* "Flop.” A dispatch from Lincoln, Nel>.,says: In a statement made Thursday W. J. Bryan takes Senator McLaurin, of South Caarolina, to task for what lie declares is his "political flop.” At the same time 7\lr. Bryan admits Senator McLamin’s action marks the begin ning of a movement in the south which will have an influence upon the poli tics of the nation. He says: "Tt is not likely that Mr. McLanriu will be the leader of the movement be cause be is handicapped by the fact that he is using his official position to misrepresent the views aod interests of his constituents; but some leader will arise to give direction and force to the aristocratic aud plutocratic ele ment for which Mr. McLaurin speaks. There is such an element in every communi’y, and now that the race question no longer unifies the white people of the southern states it will doubtless manifest itself. "Senator Tillman has already taken up the gage of battle thrown down by Senator McLaurin and will doubtless be able to marshal a considerable ma jority in that state; but the same in fluences are at work in other states where there is greater danger of suc cess. “The democratic sentiment is strong enough to resist aud overcome the Me- Laurin movement, but those who be lieve that the man is more important that the dollar will have to bestir themselves.” To Improve Mate Capitol. The joint committee of the Florida legislature on the improvemeut of the state buildings decided to recommend to both branches of the legislature an appropriation of one hundred thousand dollars for the enlargement of the Cap itol building.

CUBANS TO CONCEDE Most Radical Admit That Platt Aiceadment Will Stand. COMMISSIONERS MAKE REPORT Document Makes a Good lmp, Kßion on the Convention and There Will Be But Little Opposition When Matter Is Brought to a Test. The special commission cf the Cu ban constitutional convention which returned to Havaua from Washington May sth will not make any recoin mendation to the convention, accord ing to advices from the Cuban capi tab Although a majority of the com missioners are in favor of accepting the Platt amendment, the report will cover only the facts of the confer ence at Washington. The convention held a secret ses sion Tuesday afternoon. The radical clement admits that the convention will accept the amendment. The com missioners at the secret session pre sented an extensive report of their conference with President McKinley and Secretary Root and a glowing ac count of the banquets and receptions tendered them. Senor Giberga ob jected to incorporating an account, of the social programme in the report, but the commission insisted upon thia point. In reference to the third clause of the Platt amendment, the report stated that, the United States would not interfere unless Cuba were at tacked by a foreign power, or unless there existed in Cuba a condition of affairs similar to that which existed under Spain at the time cf American intervention. Regarding coaling stations the re port set forth that the places so de sired by the United States were Cape Maysi and San Antonio, and another point commanding the entrance to the Gulf of Mexico; these would be defin itely determined upon when draw ing up the treaty and that the ob ject of these stations would be the maintenance of the independence of Cuba as well as the protection of tha United States. The report also said that the United States would in no way interfere in the local government and that President McKinley had promised to appoint a committee to meet a Cuban committee to discuss the economic questions and to draw up a commercial treaty as soon as the republic is established, and that he advised the Cubans in the meantime to study the situation in this respect. The report announced that Secre tary Root had said that there was nothing in the Platt amendment to prevent Cuba having diplomatic rep resentatives in foreign countries. The report has evidently made a good impression and only a few radi cals will continue to oppose its accept ance. Senor Valluenda, in an open letter declaring his intention to accept the amendment, said he first thought that, if the convention rejected the amend ment, Wr hington might change it.3 policy, as he then believed the amend ment was ihe work of party. “I now believe, ’* says Senor Val luenda, “that the amendment is the work of the nation. There is no use in objecting to the inevitable. It is either annexation or a republic with the amendment, and I prefer the lat ter. The United States government, by insisting upon the amendment, shows that the Americans have changed from their policy before the war and that they no longer rely upon the Monroe doctrine to protect the interests of American republics.” TO “PULL” FOR REUNION.
