A selection of the date is wanted be

It Is further stated ip the letter that

eral months. She says:
"I was never very healthy and some
years ago, when in a run down con
dition. I suffered a nervous shock,
caused by a misfortune to a friend. It
was so great that I was unfitted for
work.
"I was just weak, low-spirited and
nervous. I could hardly walk and
could not bear the least noise. My
appetite was poor and I did not care
for food. I couldn’t sleep well and
once for two weeks got scarcely an
hour’s sleep. I had severe headaches
most of the time and pains in the back
! and spine.
“I wps treated “by two doctors, being
, under the care of one of them for six
j months. I got no relief and then de-
i elded to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.
I soon began to feel better and the im
provement was general. My appetite
became hearty and my sleep better.
The headaches all left and also the
pains in my back. A few more boxes
entirely cured me and I was able to go
back to work. I felt splendid and as
though I had never been sick. I would
recommend Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills
to any nervous Fiifferer.”
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain the
elements necessary to make new blood
and. ns .the nerves get their nourish
ment from the blood, have been found
invaluable in a wide range of diseases
of the blood and nerves, such as rheu

OF $32,000,009 GIFT
NEW YORK. March 27.—The first
distribution by the general education
al board since it received John D.
Rockefeller’s most recent contribution
of $32,090,000, was made at a meet
ing of tie board Tuesday, when condi
tional gifts totaling 1525,000 were
made to five educational institutions.
The money was divided as follows:
Yale University, $300,000; Princeton
University, $200,000; Bowdoin Col
lege, Brunswick. Me., $5<L0vJ; Colo
rado College, Colorado Springs, $50,-
000: Millsaps College, Jackson, Miss.,
$25,000.
After making these appropriation
the board voted to give a total of
$42,500 to colored schools, the names
of which were not made public le
the "help of the board should tend
discourage gifts to these schools from
other sources.
With the five principal gifts Is the
condition that the institution shall
raise a specified sum of which the
board’s appropriation shall be a part.
Yale and Princeton are each to rais
$2,000,000; Colorado College, $500,000
Bowdoin. $250,000 and Millsap:
$100,000.
These subscriptions were decided
upon after the board had considered
applications from about 400 Institu
tions. Further distributions, it was
stated, will be made before long.
The list of the twenty-eight securl
ties in which Mr. Rockefeller pro
poses to pay his pledge of $32,000,000,
was received, but not made publio,
although it was made clear that on
basis of an average income of 5 per
cent this recent endorsement would
aggregate an income of $1,600,000 an
npaiiy. In speaking later of the dis
tribution Dr. Wallace Butterlck, sec
retary of the general education board,
said that in making the subscriptions
the board had endeavored to act
equitably.
”You will see,” said Dr. Butterick,
"that the Southern Institutions which
have not the financial backing of some
of the Northeastern colleges are given
sums under conditions which can he
more readily met. They will not have
to raise such large sums themselves
In order to receive the subscriptions
given by the board. Western institu
tions which are osmewhat more pros
perous than the Southern ones, re
ceive gifts under terms which are
quite easy, but not so much so as the
Southern ones.”
Tonight the board gave out a state
ment which, after setting forth the
allotment of the above named sums,
and an intemized account of subscrip
tions so far made for higher educa
tion. says:
“Important and highly encouraging
reports were received from the agri
cultural work of the board and it was
voted to extend this agricultural work
to ail the States of the cotton belt, in
cluding Virginia, and the necessary
appropriations were made for the pur
pose.”

.■WASHINGTON, March 27.—Under
instructions recently issued by the
Secretary of the Treasury collectors
of customs throughout the country
were directed to deposit their customs
receipts in the regular depositories,
This, however, did not embrace the
so-called sub-treasury cities. These
instructions have been today enlarged
by the secretary so that the deposits
with national bank depositories in
New York city will be at once increas
ed about $15,000,000 from customs re
ceipts under the provisions of the act
of March 4. 1907.
This action is taken with a view to
facilitating the redemption of the 4
per cent bonds of 1907, and also to
render available additional funds for
the usual disbursements occurring

structed the treasurer of the United
States to mail at once to the owners
the checks for interest due April 1,
1907, on registered bonds of the 2 per
cent consuls of 1930 an dthe 4 per
cent funded loan of 1907. The sub
treasury officials have been instruct
ed to cash thfe checks on presentation
and to cash on presentation any April
coupons belonging to the bonds of
these two loans.
Secretary Cortelyou’s action will re
sult in Immediately relieving the
money market to the extent of about
$16,900,000.
Of this amount $15,000,000 will be
deposited in the depository banks in
New York city for which Government,
State, municipal, approved railroad,
Hawaiian. Philippine and Porto Rican
bonds will be accepted as security.
About $1,900,000 will he paid at once
in interest to April 1. on registered
and couponed bonds. When question
ed as to whether he would continue
to make customs deposits from day to
day. the secretary said he was not
prepared to answer definite pollcs'. but
said he expected to act liberally in
making deposit sof customs receipts.

Talking with a New York reporter.
Mr. Cleveland discussed the peculiar
situation in which both the great po
litical parties find themselves. Mr.
Cleveland said:
’ There is much of the nature of de
lirium in the popular outcry against
railroad corporations. We shall all be
ashamed of It by and by. I dare say
I have some reason to know of the real
iniquities of corporations, and I do
know them, but there Is much that is
not only groundless but wrong in the
off-hand attacks made on the railroads
by thoughtless people on all hands.
What is well founded in them will be
cured. ’ but the craze of denunciation
will soon pass. We shall reflect that
railroads are vitally related to our
prosperity, and that to attack them
heedlessly is to attack ourselves. It
Is not the stock of soulless million
aires, but the property of citizens, of
widows and orphans whase savings are
invested in railroads, that is being
dtfmaged. We shall recall what rail
roads have been and are still to be in
the development of our country, and
this craze will pass. Of course there
must be some form of governmental
supervision, but It should be planned
in a quiet hour, not in one of angry
excitement.
“The railroads have had a hard time
lately. Every man’s hand is against
them. Wherever a railroad head is to
be seen, it is safe and
Its owner has no friends. There
are pretty big difficulties before rail
road managers Just now. Before long
we shall have a crop to move under
perplexities greater than those of last
ear. And the increasing production
of the country will increasingly embar
rass the railroads. But I have faith to
believe that whenever a thing must be
done. Yankee wit and pluck will find
a way to do it, especially if there is any
profit ln It.
“Only we should help, and not hin
der. I have observed those passionate
outbursts during a life of three score
years and ten. I trust I have a fltt'ng
appreciation of the Justice which lies
beneath the present popular clamor
against corporations, and especially
railroad corporations, but I believe that
as a frenzy it will pass and that the
people will demand of the party to
which they give their suffrages the
enunciation of a principle rather than
the denunciation of a condition. It be
hooves Democrats to lo^e no time in
bringing to the front the issue of
and in focusing the attention of the
country upon it. Tariff reform is the
issue that Will clarify the atmosphere
solidify the friends of Democracy and
bring victory to the party. I cannot
believe that it is because the reform
of the tariff has been a special interest
of my own life-long thought and con
viction that I deem it the reform the
Democracy must force. Nor do I hold
this opinion because we have won our
victory in so large a degree upon its
merits.
“I hold the matter of the reform of
the tariff to be absolutely fundamental.
This question of the trusts is entirely
dependent upon it. It cannot ever be
AN ACID BLOOD POISON
Rheumatism is an acid blood poison, and the causes that produce it an
often silently accumulating; in the system for years. Poor digestion,
stomach troubles, weak kidneys, torpid liver, and a general inactive condi
tion of the system leaves the refuse and waste matter, which should be
carried off, to sour and form uric acid, which is absorbed into the bleod.
When the blood is in this acid-charged condition, it deposits the poisons
and irritating particles with which it is loaded in the muscles, nerves,
joints and bones. Then Rheumatism gets possession of the system, ana
life is made miserable by its pains, aches and discomforts. The changing
of the weather, exposure to cold and dampness, etc., alwav's increase the
trouble, and so severe does the pain become that quick relief must tx
had. A good liniment or plaster is often helpful, but it should be re
membered that relief from such treatment is only temporary, because thfl
trouble is in the blood and cannot be r»
moved by external applications. S. S. S,

WASHINGTON March 27—Lieuten
ant Geo. Carson Lawrason, who was in
command of Company B, Twenty-fifth
infantry, on the night of the affray at
Brownsville, Texas, was on the stand
nearly all of today in the Investiga
tion being conducted by the Senate
committee on military affairs.
On practically all material points his
testimony corroborated that given )|y
the men of his command, and also hy
the men of companies C and D. Ho
was shown bullets taken from the walls
of houses in Brownsville, but could
not say whether they had been fired
from the Springfield rifles with which
the Twenty-fifth infantry was equipped,
or whether they had been discharged
from Krag Jorgensen cartridges by
Krag rifles or carbines.
He further gave testimony inferring
that the shells picked up in the streets
may have bee discharged on tho ranga
at Fort Niobrara ad carried to Fort
Brown and also that he was certain
that tsvo of the rifles Identified by ex
pert examination of the shells as hav
ing been used to fire a certain lot of
tho cartridges had not been out of the
chests in which they had been packed
at Niobrara.
Lieut. Lawrason told of having beon
awakened by the Are and of his efforts
to get. the company formed amid the
confusion attending the call to arms,
as well as of a number of other mem
bers on which ail the members of
Company B had been examined. He
said that he had posted his men along
the wall In the rear of the barracks at
the order of Major Penrose.
Senator Forakcr asked the witness
if the men could have closed their guns
while stationed along the wall. Lawix-
son thought this would have been im
possible. According to his story, on
direct examination, Lawrason was
with his company along the garrison
wall for about two and a half hour*
when they were dismissed by the com*
mand of Major Penrose, who first gav«'
instructions to Lawrason to see that all;,
of the company guns were locked lnir*
the racks and that all of the guns not* Jj
in use were accounted for.
Lawrason saw the gun« placed In
the racks and the racks locked after
he had carefully verified the count. AH
of the guns, he said were inspected the
following morning when drill call wa»
sounded, and ammunition was inspected
as well. Lieutenant Lawrason told the
committee that he satisfied himself
that no guns of his company had been
used the night before and that the
men had all of their ammunition.
The witness explained that shell*
picked up on the range are saved and
deeapped and are then shipped back to
the arsenal. He said that at Fort
Niobrara there was something wrong
with Company B’s decapper and the
shells, more than a thousand in num
ber. were put in a box and shipped
to Fort Brown to be deeapped there.
He did not know what had become of
the box afte.r the arrival of the com
pany at Brownsville, but there ww
considerable property left on the rear
porch of the barracks.
The inference plainly shown by Sen
ator Foraker’s questions was that this
box may have been accessible to Mexi
can boys or others and that .shells bear
