Miss Alice Bailey, of
Atlanta, Ga., escaped the sur
geon’s knife, by using Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
44 Deab Mrs. Pink ham : — I wish to
express my gratitude for the restored
health and happiness Lydia E. Pink
bam’s Vegetable Compound has
brought into my life.
44 I had suffered for three years with
terrible pains at the time of menstrua
tion, and did not know what the trouble
was until the doctor pronounced it in
flammation of the ovaries, and
proposed an operation.
» * I felt so weak end sick that I felt
sure that I could not survive the ordeal,
and so I told him that I would not un
dergo it. The following week I read
an advertisement in the paper of your
Vegetable Compound in such an emer
gency, and so I decided to try it. Great
was my joy to find that I actually im
E roved after taking two bottles, so I
ept taking it for ten weeks, and at the
end of that time I was cured. I had
gained eighteen pounds and was in
excellent health, and am now.
44 You surely deserve great success,
and you have my very best wishes.” —

Popular frenzy, against frenzied mad

anarchy that would sweep away the
landmarks and safeguards of Chris

will stand as a shield and bulwark,
themselves the willing subjects of
law.” To strengthen this bulwark is

There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to
be incurable. For a great many years doctors
pronounced it a local disease and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it in
curable. Science has proven Catarrh to be a
constitutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,

French Canal Company Cannot De
liver Clear Bill of Sale.
_ TANGLE , _ _ _ TO __ BE ADJUSTED ,
Senator Morgan's Warning Seems to
Be Well Founded-‘Agent Goes to
Pans to Arrange Matters.
The Atlanta Constitution’s special
Washington correspondent wires as
follows: Serious obstacles have pre
sented themselves in the way of com
pletion of the acquirement, by this
government, of the title to the proper
ty of the Panama Canal Company,
and, in consequence, it is announced
that there will be no transfer before
the latter part of this month.
The exact nature of the trouble has
not been made clear by those respon
sible for the negotiations, but it seems
that when Attorney General Knox be
gan looking into the claim of William
Nelson Cromwell, who has represent
ed the company .throughout, that he
was in a position to give title, he dis
covered that Mr. Cromwell’s opinion
upon the property is seriously defec
tive, and, unless it is strengthened,
or unless some other arrangement is
made, it will not be possible for the
United States to secure the property
for which an appropriation of $40,
000,000 has been made.
Senator Morgan Gave Warning.
In its present shape, Attorney Gen
Knox 13 sald to be satisfied that
the Cromwell alleged title would en
tail upon this government an endless
eerie* senes nf or claims claims frnm Horn the the French hiencn
stockholders in the old Panama com
panyj who have not par ted with t.ieir
, holdings ... to . the ,,
new compan) lepie
sented by Mr. Cromwell, and who,
further, has not given him or his com
P an y a h option .. upon their , stocks.
During the progress of the long de
bate upon thQ canal treat it was fre .
quently charged by Senator Morgan
that Mr. Cromwell could not give ti
™. c Alabama 1n , m senators chaig s
'
were not heeded. Mr. Cromwell had
given verbal assurances that it was
a n right, and his word was taken oy
the „„„„„„ responsible officials ~ of the . govern
ment. Now, the attorney general has
made the discovery that the' Cromwell
claims are seriously defective.
Payment is Deferred.
In order to give Mr. Cromwell the
opportunity to go to Paris and
straighten things out, if he can, fur
ther negotiations have been deferred
to March 25th. Senator Morgan R
still positive that the desired quit
claim on the part of these stockhold
ers cannot be obtained, and Represen
tative Hepburn, chairman of the house
committee, is of the opinion the $10,
000,000 which are to go to Panama,
were about to be paid over to J. P.
Morgan & Co., fiscal agents for the
republic of Panama. Then the pro
ceedings were halted by the attorney
general.
This new situation, developing, as
it did, just as Panama was about to
be paid its $10,000,000, and as this
government had announced its readi
ness to pay $40,000,000 to the French
company, has caused surprise and dis
appointment to the United states offi
cials.
This government took Mr. Crom
well at his word and made prepara
tions to pay both the canal company
and the new republic. It* called in 20
per cent of the government money in
national bank depositories, arranged
its financial affa : rs so that this great
sum could be paid without any dis
turbance to the homy market and
announced itself ready to complete
the transaction.
While no one would say just exact
ly what the hitch was, it was under
stood that certain suits against the
new Panama Canal Company have not
yet been cleared to the satisfaction of
this government and the Title cannot
yet be given.
Mr. Cromwell denies that the delay
is serious, but admits he must go to
Paris to clear up the existing doubts.

LOOKS BAD FOit SI i»i.
Highest Mormon Church Official Ad
mits Open Violation of Law
Against Polygamy.
A Washington dispatcn says: The
confession of President Smith, of the
: Mormon church, was the sensation of
| the proceedings Thursday before the
“ " nv,lege3 ... and .
.
I elections. Mr. Smith, whose examina
tion was continued from Wednesday’s
session, said the manifesto of 1890 had
left hlm and others with plural fami
lies in the unfortunate position of be
ing compelled to defy the law or desert j
their families. For himself he had
preferred to “take chances with the
law” rather than to disgrace himself
and degrade his family by abandon
ing his wives and the children they
had borne him. He admitted that he
had had children by all of his five
wives since the manifesto and saia
he had acknowledged them openly
from the people cf Utah, whom he
without interference or disturbance
characterized as liberal and broad
minded.
So great has become the interest in
the investigation that it was decided
to post a policeman at the door of the |
room of he committee on privileges
and elections where the hearings are j
progressing. All persons except those
directly interested were not permitted
in the room, though outside the door
it was impossible almost to maintain
a passage way through the corridor ;
of the capitol. |
Attorneys for the protestants in the
case said they intended to prove that
the defendant is connected with a
hierarchy which practices polygamy
and connives at violations of the law
and that Smoot’s very vote as senator
is controlled by the Mormon church.
President Joseph H. Smith confessed
that he himself had continued to co
habit with his plural family since the
manifesto of 1890, and that he realized j
fully that he was violating the state |
laws. President Smith also testified
that Reed Smoot had to get the con
sent of his associate aposues in Ike
church before he could become a can
didate for senator.
SHAW CALLS FO» CANAL MONEY.
Banks Are Notifed That They Will fie Asked
for Part of Tlie-r Holdings.
Secretary Shaw has advised all spe
cial national bank depositories, includ
ing those cf New York city, that they i
will be required to pay, on account of
the I J anama canal purchase, 20 per
cent of their holdings of government
funds on or before March 25.
The 20 per cent aggregates about
$39,000,000, leaving about $20,000,000
to be supplied from the treasury. It
had been decided heretofore to have
the depository national banks in New
York city pay the individual propor
tions over to the New Yoyk sujj-treas
ury at once to meet at tliis time the
payment of $10,000,000 due Panama
and later to pay the new canal com
pany at Paris the $40,000,000 due it
on call of the national bank deposito
ries of New York city.
In view, however, of news received
from Par's later in the day to the
effect that the French at once would
call a meeting of its directors and car
ry out»the formalities necessary to the
transfer of the title in the property to
the United States, it was th®ught best
to make the two payments to the canal
company and the republic of Panama
concurrently about April 1.
FIRST DAY Of EEBIHJARY
fixed by Georgia State Board for Return of
Property Taxes.
All property owned by Georgians on
February 1, 1904, must be returned
for taxation and paid for during the
year 1904. The date was determined
by the board appointed by the legisla
ture for that purpose, composed of the
governor,' comptroller general and
etate treasurer.
Great secrecy is maintained as to the
date fixed for the return of property
for if it was known, it is not improba- j ;
ble that many people owning stocks j
and bonds and valuable jewelry would
take the same out of the state on that
date and return with it the next day.

Statement of Mr. Scott, On Poor Ol

A Washington special says- Thi

tion of the District oJ Columbia apprJ
priation bill in committee of the!
whole, Mr. Lawrence, of MassaclrJ
setts, iu the chair.
Air. Webb, cf North Carolina, called
attention to the statement made a few
days ago by Air. Scott, of Kansas, that
a negro had dined in the white h ouse
while Mr. Cleveland was president]
and answered that he had written fid
former president sending him an ejl
tract from the Record and asking hinJ
if the statements made by Mr. Scott
were true.
Cleveland Makes Denial
Thursday morning Mr. Webb reeeiv
ed the following reply, which he read
amid applause on the democratic side:
»• Princeton, N. J., March 2, 1904.
“Hon. E. H. Webb, House of Repre
sentatives:
“Dear Sir—It is a matter of smalt
concern to me that a Mr. Scott has
seen fit to use my name in a dispiavl
of his evil propensities on tne floor uS
the house of representatives.
“In answer to yur inquiry, however
I have to say of his statement tiiaj
the colored man, H. J. Tailor liousJ tool]
lunch with me at the white
that it is a deliberate fabrication cal
of the whole cloth.
i. As far as Taylor i3 concerned, 1

the office of the city attorney at Kaa
sas City. His nomination as regia
trar was confirmed by the senate ad
he served in that place with intelll

from abusing the dead,

fore his appointment and my observ:
tion of him during his incumbency an
the little I have known of him sinci
satisfied me that h : s character is ver
unjustly attacked jy the diatribe a
Mr. Scott.
“One charge is made against Tayld
by Mr. Scott which he doubly clinch]
with the truth when he declares:
it ‘He was a black negro.’ I ad
led, however, te doubt his familiari eve] ]
when be adds ‘as black as you
saw.’ Yours very truly,
(Signed) “GROVER CLEVELAND,'
.4 Not a Fool Friend.”
Mr. Webb said he wanted this da
nial to travel that the statement ol
Mr. Scott might be overtaken.
“Mr. Cleveland was a friend of th!
negro, but not a fool friend,” said
Mr. Webb.
“He never by word or act encourag
ed the dream of social equality in the
breast of the black man.
This was greeted with applause by
the democrats.
“Again,” he continued, “he was tb
friend of the colored man, but he wa
also the friend of the southern white
man and sympathized with us in our|
race problems and race burdens, and
that, sir, is more than Mr. Roosevelt
seemed ever to have done.”
Scott Makes Apology.
Mr. Scott said he accepted the state
ment of Mr. Cleveland as true and of
fered his apology to the former presi
dent - In justice to himself, said Mr
Scott, ho desired to say that he never
heard the report denied.
Mr. Swanson (Virginia) asked Mr.
Scott where he had heard the report,
to which Mr. Scott replied that he had
seen the stat ®ment in newspapers.
Mr. Swanson asked furtner for a
copy of a newspaper containing >he
statement.
Mr. Scott explained that tnese state
ments were made several years
and the papers might not be easily pr°'
cured. He said that he had made full
apology to Mr. Cleveland.
Mr. Scott added that he had brought
to Mr. Cleveland for the first time i a
the four years app'-».use from the dem
ocratic side. This was doubly applaud
ed on the majority side of the cham
ber.
