Lydia E* Pmkham's Vegetable Compound*
“Dear Mrs. T’inkham: lgnorance and neglect are the cause of
untold female suffering, not only with the laws of health hut with the
chance of a cure. 1 did not heed the warnings of headaches, organic
Eains, and general weariness, until I was well nigh prost rated. I knew I
ad to do something. Happily 1 did the right thing. I took Lydia E.
Pink ham’s Vegetable Compound faithfully, according to directions,
and was rewarded in a few weeks to llnd that my aches and pains dis
appeared, and I again felt the glow of health through my body. Since
I have been well I have been more careful, I have also advised a mimber
of my sick friends to take Lydia E. Pinkliam’s Vegetable Com
pound, and they have never had reason to be sorry. Yours very truly,
Mrs. May Fairbanks, 210 South 7th St., Minneapolis, Minn.” (Mrs. Fair

Digest of Labor Decisions.
(By Chancellor Pitney of New Jersey)
First —That ail sorts of laborers
may lawfully combine and form un
ions for their mutual benefit, and that
they may use all lawful means to pro
mote their own interests, being care
ful in so doing not to infringe on the
rights of others.
Second —One lawful means to that
end Is the refusal to work on terms
offered by the employer.
Third —An unlawful means is to hin
der or prevent others from working
for an employer under such terms as
they shall see fit.
Fourth—One means of such hinder
ing and preventing is in various
ways to render it either difficult or
uncomfortable for such willing work
men so to work. This is an unlawful
means.
Fifth —Another unlawful means in
common use to hinder or prevent will
ing employees form working and to
compel employers to accede to terms
which they would not otherwise adopt
is a boycott in its various forms.

Wellington's Courtesy.
A strong light is thrown on the es
sential quality of Wellington’s mind
by the incident of the broken bell.
When he pulled it several times and
no footman appeared until after great
delay, he “stormed with very strong
language” at the man for neglect of
duty, whereupon the duke said: “Yes,
I was wrong. I am very sorry, Will
iam, and beg your pardon.” To the
little girl who was present he added:
“Always own when you are in the
wrong.” This is almost a test qual
ity in life. It is rarely found without
other great moral virtues and intel
lectual strength. It helps us to un
derstand the man who faced Napo
leon’s strategy with invisible cool
ness. and hung on until Biucher came
up.—Review of Wellington.

PASSED AWAY AT ISIS HOME IN FLORIDA
His Hlness was Sudden and of Comparatively Brief
Duration-=Close of Great Life was Calm and
Serene==Short Epitome of His Career
in War and in Time of Peace.
General John B. Gordon died at
10:05 Saturday night at his plantation
home, eight miles from Miami, Flori
da. All the members of his family
were present when the end came to
the illustrious soldier.
The last moments were apparently
without pain, and General Gordon
passed away as peacefully as if he
were sinking into a refreshing sleep.
The death struggle began at 7
o’clock. At that hour the attending
physicians, announced that death was
only a matter of a few hours.
An examination showed that the
sufferer’s kidneys were failing to per
form their functions, and that urae
mic poison had set in. From that
hour General Gordon gradually be
came weaker and weaker, until death
fixed his seal on the beloved soldier.
General Gordon was taken with a
violent chill about 3 o’clock Wednes
day afternoon, Jan. 6, which continued
for half an hour or more. Two phy
sicians were summoned from’ Miami
by telephone.
The chill was followed by a high
fever and when the physicians reach
ed his bedside, the general’s tempera
ture was 105. An examination show
ed that he was suffering from acute
indigestion, followed by congestion of
the stomach and liver. His condition
was rendered more alarming by per
sistent hiccoughs, which began Thurs
day. exhausting still further his
strength. He also suffered great
ly from pains caused by the strained
condition of the stomach owing to nis
advanced age and previous ill health.
On Friday his stretngth gradually
increased and he took some interest
in his surroundings. The secretions
of the kidneys, however, were not sat
isfactory, and on Friday evening they
were much below normal.
Saturday the distinguished patient’s
strength began to gradually ebb away
and it soon became apparent that
death was inevitable.
Brief Sketch of His Life.
Lieutenant General John Brown
Gordon was born in Upson county,
Georgia, July 6, 1832, of Scotch ances
try, his grandfather being one of sev
en brothers w r ho immigrated from
Scotland previous to the revolutionary
war, in which they ail took part in be
half of the colonies. The grandfath
er made his home in Wilkes county,
North Carolina, whence Rev. Zacha
riah H. Gordon, the father of General
Gordon, removed to Georgia. Young
Gordon was graduated in 1852 from
the Georgia state University, and a
few months later was admitted to the
practice of law. Early in 1861 he en
listed with the volunteer confederate
soldierly.

dent McKinley the glorious work of

Universally Loved.
Probably no character in* public life
was more universally loved than Gen
eral Gordon. Possessing every trait
of character that appeals to the con
fidence and esteem of his fellows,
General Gordon has not only main
| tained the enviable position in the
hearts of his people, but as time
■ passed on increased his friends and 1
i made more secure his position in the
hearts of the public.
After his brilliant campaign during
the civil war, at which time he dem
onstrated his nobleness of character,
as well as his courageous manhood, he
struck the keynote to his future con
duct, by advising his overpowered sol
diers to return home, obey the laws
of the Union, and aid in upbuilding
those very things which they had all
but succeeded in destroying. Return
ing to liis stricken home, under these
conditions, General Gordon began the
greatest work of his life, in aiding
to stanch the flow of blood and erect
ing on their former site fhe homes
of the south.
His Course in Peace.
Laying aside his sword, with an
ever abiding faith in the future of
right and justice, General Gordon
sought to win the hearts of his peo
ple not by violence, of course, but
by the earnest pleading of his elo
quent voice. No man. ever lijpt-e cor
dially received, or more earnestly
given the support of his people, than
John B. Gordon.
Magnetic, eloquent, with his martial
bearing, he found no difficulty in hold
ing his audiences, or in converting
them to his plan of thought. Every
where, during those troublesome times
of reconstruction, General Gordon was
hailed as one of the greatest men
of his day. He wielded an influence
for good that cannot be exaggerated
nor overestimated in after years.
Though he was one of the most en
ergetic and enthusiastic supporters of
the southern cause, after the surren
der he became one of the most zeal
ous of the builders of the New South.
His counsel was sought on all occa
sions, and was always* found to be
good. His judgment was unerring, his
energy without limit.
Chief of the Confederates.
General’ Gordon has always occu
pied a conspicuous position in the or
ganized ranks of the United Confeder
ate Veterans. At the several re
unions, since he became com
mander-in-chief, he was the most
picturesque character of the Confeder
ate cause. He had repeatedly been
elected commander-in-chief, though
time and again, influenced by his in
creasing age and ill health, and by
the ever growing demand made upon
his time, suggested that some other
veteran more active than himself, be
elected commander-in-chief of the
United Confederate Veterans; each
time his suggestion has fallen upon
deaf ears, and it is conceded by every
one, that so long as Gordon lived,
Confederate veterans would have no
other leader than himself.
Stricken While in Fine Health.
General Gordon arrived at his coun
try home on Biscayne bay, 8 miles
above Miami, on Monday before
Christmas, to spend the holiday sea
son with his family. He enjoyed the
rest from the requirements of an ex
tensive lecture tour, from which he
i had just returned.
