A Lady of Pizarro Tells Story of
Awful Suffering That Cardui
Finally Relieved.
Pizarro, Va.—“l suffered for several
years,” writes Mrs. Dorma A. Smith,
"with that awful backache and the bear
ing down sensations, so fully described
in your book.
“I tried doctors and other medicines
and found little relief, until 1 was induced
to try Wine of Cardui, when 1 found in
stant relief and today 1 can heartily
recommend Cardui to all suffering women
and think there is no other as good.”
In some instances, Cardui gives instant
relief; in others, it may take a little time.
But in all cases of female trouble Cardui
can be depended on to be of benefit, as
it is a specific remedy for women and
acts in a curative way on the womanly
organs.
As a general tonic for women, to build
up your strength, improve your appe
tite, bring back rosy cheeks and make
you look and feel yourg and happy,
nothing you can find will do so much for
y ou as Cardui.

HENRY W. SAVAGE DE
SERFS THEATRE TRUST
Is One of the Nation’s
Prominent Producers.
New Y T ork, July 22.—The action of
Henry W. Savage in severing all his
connections with the Theatrical Syn
dicate is indicative of the strength of
the National Theatre Owners Associa
tion and the estimate in which' that or
ganization is held by men of the cal
iber of Mr. Savage.
At first Mr. Savage entered into an
agreement whereby he would play his
attractions as he saw fit, both in the
Syndicate theatres and thiose of the
Independents. This seemed for a
time to be the solution to the problem,
but matters developed in such away
that on July 12, Mr. Savage concluded
the booking olfices of the Syndicate
were not keeping faith) with him and
for that reason, principally, he decid
ed to accept completely the advantages
offered by the “open door” adherents.
The following is Mr. Savage’s personal
statement in full:
”1 have definitely and absolutely
severed all connections with the The
atrical Syndicate and my attractions
will not appear in any house owned
or controlled by that organization. My
reason for this radical step is because
I claim the privilege of offering my
goods in the places that seem best
suited to my interests and those of
-he public at large, and because
Messrs. Klaw and Erlanger are unwil
ling, or unable, to fulfill the agreement
recently made with them by me, which'
stipulated that my productions shoul 1
play in the Syndicate houses wherever j
: \v Happened to have theatres,, and in
those controlled by the members of
the National Theatre Owners Associ-1
at ion elsewhere.
After making that agreement I con
tracted tj play the houses of the mem- j
lerj of th'e National Theatre Owneis
Association, laying out the routes in
tocordance with the time already as
signed for my attractions by Messrs, i
Klaw and Erlanger in the Syndicate 1
louses. But when it came time to
make detailed contracts with the indi
vidual theatres booked by the Syndi
■ate, delay followed delay, although 1
upon my demand that Messrs. "Klaw
and Erlanger declare once and for ail i
their intentions and position, I was
assured that absolutely no change had
■ >een made and that tide delay was
merely an accident of the business.
This was within the past week. On
Monday (July 11) for the first time the
further excuse was made that the ot'n- ,
r producing managers for whom they
ict as booking agents were unwilling
hat 1 should have the right to book |
vhere l deemed best, and that such a
ourse was net to be allowed. Inas
much as my booking arrangements had
dways been with' Messrs. Klaw and
Erlanger and not subject to the ap
proval of iny competitors, it only re
mained for me to simply withdraw
from all relations with the Syndicate
and its allies. By mutual consent this
was immediately effected, all neces
sary papers having been signed and j
'x changed.
“My attractions, however, will be
jffereil too the playgoing public in ev- ;
try city and town of importance all j
mu* the country, and I shall ispeei- j
finally keep my contracts with' mem
bers of the National Theatre Owners’ j
Association,
In presenting my attractions I shall '
lor have to resort to the use of tents, :
barns, lofts or other queer expedients,
but shall have the use of the commod
ious and comfortable regular play
houses in all instances.”
Following the severance of his re
lations with the theatrical syndicate,
Col. Savage signed contracts with the
Messrs. Schubert to present all of his
days in the theatres that are under
their direction in New York, Boston,
Chicago and other principal cities of
the country.
One of the early productions in New
York will be “Madama X” which had
such a prosperous run at the New Aui
derdam thteatre last season. Others
to follow are "The Little Damoze',”
a comedy of sentiment, by Monckton
comedy by Sewell Collins, which had
a long engagement in Chicago last sea
son. and “The Great Name,” a play
Hoffe, that has been successful in Lon
don; “Theodore & C 0..” a tarce from
Paris.
Mr. Savage will have a new operetta
by Franz Lehar, composer of “The
Merry Widow,” called in English
"The Prince’s Child,” which is now in
preparation, and a revival of “The
Prince of Pilsen ” Alsom “Grape
Girl,” a new romantic operetta, oy
Henry Bereny; “The Harvey,” “The
Divorce Fund,” a satire on divorce, by
A. E. Thomas; “Excuse Me,” a comedy
by Rupert Hughes; ‘Everywoman,” a
drama of modern life, by Walter
Brown; a new musical comedy by Oli
ver Herford; “Lady Mortimer,” a new
play by Major Herbert Woodgate, and
Puccini’s grand opera, “The CEirl of
the Golden West,” which is a musical
version of David Belasco’s drama ot
(he same name. In all Mr. Savage
will have twenty-four attractions for
the season of 1910-1911.

SOUTH S REPRESEN lA*
TION TO BE KEPT DOWN
Such is Plan of Republican
Leaders.
Washington, D. C„ July 22.—1 n the
Sixty-third Congress the house is to
be composed of not more than 410
members. This is the number fixed
upon by the republican leaders. !t
also has been determined that th'e ag
gregate strength of the South shall
not be increased. In fact, the republi
can leaders would like, if they can, to
shape matters so that the Southern
strength! in the house and in the elec
oral college will be reduced somewhat,
j They realize that some of the South
ern states, like Mississippi, Texas,
Georgia and Alabama have increased
largely in population, and will be
entitled to increased representation,
but what they gain will he taken, tlvy
hlope, from the other Southern staes.
It is estimated that Virginia, espe
cially, will suffer in that direction.
The figures at present used by the
computers for the republicans will
make the basis of representation 220,-
000. If those figures will increase the
membership of th'e house more than
•twenty, the basis will be raised, as
it is determined that the total number
shall not go abobe 410.
Some Favor Reduction.
•Some of the leaders are strongly in
favor of reducing the membership to
350, making the argument that even
, with the present 391 th'e house is very
un* ieldiy, and that an increase of mem
bership will make it even more diffi
cult to transact business. If is also
| pointed out that when membership
I was less ban 250 business was trans-
I Acted mere expeditiously tl.'an at the
i present time.
j It is estimated that he Souhern
states, net counting Delaware and
I West Virginia, will show a population
'of a little more than 29,000,000. With
the ra in fixed at 220,000 .this would
give that section one or two more rep
| resentatives than at pre'sen. If the
population shou’d exceed 29.000,000,
r.hp ratio will he raised enough to
■ keep down the number of representa
i tives, even though it should hurt a
few of the Northern states. Okla
homa comes in to disturb the calcula
! tions of the republicans. The gain In
that new state Has been marvelous,
and it is estimated will he enough + o
give her five or six new representatives
and Oklab ma is usually classed as a
Southern state. So its gain will be
taken from the older Southern states.

NEW YORK DETECTIVE
BONGJIT GREEN SQUIRREL
Paid $5.00 for a Genuine “Chinese’*
Specimen.
New York, July 2( . —“Lieutenant,
I love this little squirrel. Me an’
h'im’s been shipmates six months, an’
nothing in this world could make me
give him up if I didn’t have to take
a trip to Canada to see mv sick sister.”
That is what a 'briny sailor said
j last. Monday to Lieut. John Walsh, of
the detective bureau in the New
: Brighton station on Staten island
j “Liuetenaut,” continued the sailor.
i “lijit there’s a Chinese squirrel. [
rought him all the way from Chiny.
j He’s that smart, he’ll do most anv
j thing. A man offered me $lO for him
just the other day, but 1 told him
no; I made up my mind I wouldn’t
sell him to no one but you, Iv'caimo
I Heard you was a nature collector,
and would take good care of my litt'e
green squirrel. I’ll let you have him
for $5.”
Lieut. Walsh looked at the lit 1 o
green squirrel sitting on his desk. He
had never seen such a beautiful Chi
nese animal, and had never seen a
Chinese squirrel, especially a green
one, so he dug down into his right
hand trousers pocket and brought up
. a crisp $5 bill.
That night he took his new pet—the
green Chinese squirrel—to his home
in Port. Richmond. All the neighbors
admired it, and Walsh felt happy.

Many a candidate imagines lie is

across the street.
That cuefest at the Country Club
last evening was a red letter event,
and the members thus regaled will
not quickly forget it.
Within the current year nearly ev

ROD OF GREENBACKS
RECEIVE SURF BATH
Rehoboth, Del., July 20.—A' week's
wa.si.iing of $5 bills, pinned on a line
to dry, was the result of a bath which
Mrs. Daniel Townsend took yesterday
and ip which no one can understand
why the money did not drift out to sea.
Mrs. Townsend Is the wife of a prom
inea, Rehoboth hotel man and, in
taking tier usual surf bath, she did
not remove that portion of her apparel
which the average woman uses as her
pock el book.
During the bath :he surf played its
usual pranks, and although the bands
used to bold the money in p'lace were
several times loosened, the money was
found intact, although reduced almost
to a pulp, when Mrs. Townsend start
ed to remove her bathing apparel. It
took several hours ol' careful drying
on an improvised line before the bills
were in shape to be taken to a bank
and redeemed for more substantial
ones.
SCRIPTURES WILL HE READ
AGAIN IN BRIDGEPORT SUHOLS
Bridgeport, Pa., July vL—The Bible,
after a whole term’s vacation will be
back in the public sc Wo ais of the
borough when the bell rings next
September. The school board decided
last night to re-instate the reading of
the Scriptures at the opening exer*
cises.
Last September a resolution wat
passed barring the reading of the Bi
ble and trie recital of the Lord’3
prayer. The action caused such a
rumpus that students went on a strike
and paraded the streets with the open
Bible and the flag, parents became
wrathy and the school directors be
came so tightly deadlocked that the
court threw them out and put others
in their places.
When Dr. A. W. Wills introduced
the restoration resolution last night,
with the comment, “the Lord bias
looked upon us with a sneer long
enough,” the friends of the Bible were
in the majority, and the resolution wa3
passed, 4 to 2. Those suporting the
resolution, besides Dr. Wills, were
Joseph J. McGinley, Harace Ramsey
and Aaron Purdy; thofse against were
Miles Lawless and Daniel McGee.
Lawless was the father of the anti-
Bible resolution passed ten months
ago. He was elected last February,
were Ramisoy and McGee. Lawless is
notiwthis-tand'inf he had been ouster, is
now president of the board, and he in
timate*! that the legality of the Bible
being read in the schools would be
tested in the courts.
A soft head isn’t any use, even for a
pin cushion.
