Kennedy, local agent for the Merchants’ Transportation Company, collapsed court Thursday when her mother the witness stand admitted that the fendant had been secretly married John Kramer, a local lawyer, since conviction for the murder of her band.

A notable naval event which slipped by v/ithout notice was the launching in Japan on Nov. 1 of the 3,000-ton cruiser Ottawa. Her completion will signalize the fulfilment of Japan’s scheme of naval construction devised at the end of the Chinese war, which has raised the island empire into one of the great naval powers of the world. Most of the fleet was built in Eng land, but Germany and the United States contributed certain ships, and Japan herself has built some. Hence forth, Japan will probably be able to handle all of her own naval construc tion.

At Chicago Thursday afternoon, Mayor Carter Harrison was ordered by | Judge Richard W. Tuthill to be im mediately discharged from custody ; without any responsibility for the , wholesale loss of life in the Iroquois theatre fire. The judge declared that the mayor was in no way whatever guilty or lia j ble, and that the coroner's jury in or j j dering Mayor Harrison held to the grand j ury had put an unjust stigma upon the mayor, who had failed in no particular whatever eithor in omis j . S j on or commission, The hearing before Judge Tuthill | v/as on a writ of habeas corpus sued j out by Mayor Harrison’s attorneys. Following his release, Mayor Har rison made the following statement to the Associated Press: j “The only possible feature which the I jury was able to find connecting me with the Iroquois fire disaster was the a n e ged negligence and incompetence ; of my appointees, Fire Chief Musham and Building Inspector Williams, I i want to call attention to the fact that ! Chief Musham has been connected j with the Chicago beginning fire department for forty years, at the bottom of the ladder and winning his way to the position of assistant chief by gal lant and heroic conduct of a lifetime, Upon the retirement of Chief Swenie, i appointed Musham chief. The ap pointment was strictly On merit and met with unanimous approval. When the position of building commissioner j became vacant last summer, I invited the builders’ club, an association of ar chitects, ?pd various other non-parti san professional organizations, to nominate the best available man for the vacancy. They named in nomina «on Mr. Williams, a republican, and gave me the strongest testimonials of his character and efficiency. I ap pointed him, and he entered most ear nestly upon his duties. Both of these men were considered ideal appoint naems. f •» TO REPEAL TWO AMENDMENTS.

Taking advan tage of the latitude permitted when an appropriation bill is under considera tion, Mr Hardwick addressed the house upon the proposition to repeal the fourteenth and fifteenth amend ments to the constitution, which fig ured prominently as an issue in his own canvass for congress. General Grosvenor interrupted to j ca il Mr. Hardwick’s attention to a statement he made regarding the word “white” in the Ohio constitution. Gen eral Grosvenor pointed out that the word “white” was in the constitution of his state in 1867 fixing the qualifica tion of a voter, having been placed there in 1851. In 1867 a constitutional amendment was submitted to the peo ple of Ohio to strike out the word "white” from the convention. The proposition was defeated and General Grosvenor intimated that the demo crats were responsible for it. Mr. Hardwick readily admitted the charge and fuurther called General Grosvenor’s attention to the fact that the Ohio legislature attempted to re jec the fifteenth amendment and with drew its assent to the fourteenth amentment. “That was democratic politics, >*• re torted General Grosvenor. “Yes,” said Mr. Hardwick, “I knew you would say that. I think it was very good politics. tt In apologizing for interrupting Mr. Hardwick, General Grosvenor said of his speech: (l I think it is the best presentation of a bad cause that I have ever heard.” REVOLT AGAINST AMERICAN COTTON.

Pmkharrfls Vegetable Compound. U Dear Mrs. Pinkham : — I have been so blessedly helped through the use of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound that I feel it but just to acknowledge it, hoping that it may help some other woman suffering as I did. k . For years I enjoyed the best of health and thought that I would always do eo. I attended parties and receptions thinly clad, and would be suddenly chilled, but I did not think of the results. I caught a bad cold eighteen months ago while menstruating, and this caused inflammation of the womb and congested ovaries. I suffered excruciating pains and kept getting worse. My attention was called to your Vegetable Compound and the wonderful cures it had performed, and I made up my mind to try it for two months and see what it would do for me. Within one month I felt much better, and at the close of the second I was entirely well. “ I have advised a number of my lady friends to use it, and all express themselves as well satisfied with the results as I was.” — Miss Rose Nora Hennessy, 410 S. Broadway, Lexington. Ily. The experience and testimony of some of the most noted women of America go to prove beyond a question that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound will correct all such trouble and at normal once, by removing the cause, and restoring the organs to a and healthy condition. u Dear Mrs. Pinkham : About two years ago I consulted a phy — sician about my health which had beeome so wretched that I was no longer able to be about. 1 bad severe backache, bearing-down pains, pains across the abdomen, was very nervous and irritable, for and this trouble grew worse each month. The physician prescribed me, but I soon discovered that ho was unable to help me, and I then decided to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and soon found that it was doing me good. My appetite was returning, the pains disappear ing, and the general benefits were well marked. U You cannot realize how pleased I was, and after taking the medi cine for only three months, I found that I was completely cured of my trouble, and have been well and hearty ever since, and no more fear the monthly period, as it now passes without pain to me. Yours very truly, Miss Pearl. Ackers, 327 North Summer St., Nashville, Tcnrn” When a medicine has been successful in restoring to health more than a million women, you cannot well say without trying it “I do not believe it will help me.” If you are ill, do not hesitate to get a bottle of Lydia E.
