day la the first that I have spent In
oourt since my illness, and this divorce
was one of the first things that I at
tended to In tile course of my duty.
“Mr. Vanderbilt has made ample pro
vision for his wife. He has formally
agreed to pay her a large sum. I am
not at liberty to mention the amount,
of course, but It was considered entire
ly sufficient by Mrs. Vanderbilt and her
attorneys. The testimony and the re
port of the referee are sealed, under a
precision of law."^
arranged to sail for Europe tomorrow
for a long visit. She will be accompa
nied by her three children.
The story of the trouble in the Van
derbilt family first came to the knowl
edge of .the public last August when a
cable dispatch from Paris stated that
formal negotiations were then In pro
gress for a Judicial separation between
william K. Vanderbilt and his wife.
The name of Nellie Neustretter, a
very well-know woman living In Paris,
was men tloned in connection with these
proceedings. She had recently estab
lished herself in expensive npairtmemits
in Paris and at Deuville, with an elab
orate entourage of servants. The do
mestic relations between Mr. and Mrs.
Vanderbilt reached almost a climax
last spring when the party on the splen
did yacht Valiant broke up In the Med
iterranean upder clr6um«tances which
ait once separated nil its members.
Mrs. Vanderbilt went to England
where S v«t Murray's beautiful estate,
Danesfleld, near Ilcnley-on-the-Tharraa
had 'been rented for her. In June last,
Cornelius Vanderbilt wont to Uondon
to interpose his strenuous offices to
Stop further public proceedings, but was
unsuccessful in restoring peace and re-
turned home.
Mm Vanderbilt committed her In
terests to Col. William Jay of this city.
A formal proposition had. It was said,
been unde to'Mrs. Vanderbilt for a sep
aration on terms of allowance of 33,*
000,000, the custody ot her children and
the possession of the three houses at
Newport, Isllp and In New York. In
the spring months, Mr. vanaenbiii was
conspicuous In Paris. He epent money
without stint and is reported to have
had a very good time ondosi. but M r.

' It is within the power of every woman to have a whole
some face, if not a beautiful complexion. A pretty face is
generally largely the result of s healthy physical condition.
Health and beauty go hand in hand.
A healthy atate of a woman's system come* with the use
of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. Wrinkles and hollow
cheeks follow the derangements and weaknesses which make
life miserable for so many women.
The " run-down,” tired-out woman who complaina of
backache, headache, loss of appetite, extreme lassitude, a
sense of weight and dragging down in the abdomen, and
that "don't care" feeling, is suffering from displacement
of some of the womanly organs or some irregularity of the
special functions of womanhood.
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is a vegetable compound
which has a peculiar tonic or invigorating effect upon the
womanly organs, and cures permanently irregularities, ulcer
ation, inflammation, and that common and most debilitating drain from the lining
roemh/unes caused thereby.
Many times women call on their family physicians suffering, as they imagine,
one from dyspepsia, another from heart disease, another from liver or kidney dis
ease, another from nervous exhaustion, or prostration, another with pain here and
' there, and in this way they all present alike, to their easy-going and indifferent, or
over-busy doctor, separate and distinct diseases, for which he prescribes ^hia pills
and potions, assuming them to be such, when, in reality, they are all only symptoms
caused hy some womb disorder. The physician, ignorant of the cause of suffering,
encourages his practice until large bills are made. The suffering patient gets no
better, but probably worse by reason of the delay, wrong treatment and consequent
complications. A proper medicine, like Dr. Fierce’s Favorite Prescription, directed
to the cause would have entirely removed the disease, thereby dispelling all those
distressing symptoms and instituting comfort instead of prolonged misery. It has
been well said that “a disease known is half enred."
“ Woman’s ills."

forawnds an address to the peoplo of
the United States. The following to
the staitemeot;.
The money question Is mow indisput
ably the dominant issuedn the United

and settled rightly. Other questions,
however important, must wait for th s.

tire gold standard, sold bonds and bank
currency on the one side and the bi
metallic standard, no bonds und govern
ment currency on the other.
Firat—On this Issue avo declare our
selves to be unalterably opposed to
the single gold standard and demand
the immed ato return to 'the constitu
tional standard of gold nnd silver by
the restoration by this government In
dependently of any foreign power, of
the unrestrldted coinage of both silver
and gold Into standard money, at the
ratio of 16 to 1, and upon terms of ex
act equality, the silver ooin to be a

Second—We hold thalt tho power to
conftHol and negulalte a paper currency
is Inseparable from the power to coin
money; and hence that all currency In
tended to circulate as money should
be Issued and its volume controlled by
the government only, and should bo le
gal tender.
Third—we are unalterably opposed to
Khe Issue toy the United States of Inter

demand the payment of aU coin obli
