It was entirely unexpected and caused a lively discussion. The meet ing had been called by President Per ry Erlmont to further the movement for an effective national publicity law which would require a public record Of campaign contributions and expen ditures. The resolution, which was offered by Alexander Troup, of Con necticut, a member of the National Democratic Committee, requested the chairman and secretaries of the Re publican and Democratic national committees of the last national cam paign to make public all their re ceipts and expenditures of the cam paign. This resolution was offered by Mr. Troup after he had quoted from a newspaper dispatch from Washington, in which It was stated that President Roosevelt wanted the campaign books opened in the next national canvass. "I think the public wants the books of the last campaign opened.” exclaim ed Mr. Troup who added that in 1904 the President had indignantly denied that large sums of money had been contributed to the Republican cam paign fund. At this moment Senator Chandler Interrupted Mr. Troup. Injustice to the President, "I think you are doing the Pres!? dent on Injustice,” he said. "I wish to appear as his defender In this re spect" Then Mr. Chandler went on to DUTY THAT EVERY WOMAN OWES HERSELF they have ^ stlrrrt for pla i n that 'what the President had de- or more and all of this Is the fruit of n)e( j waa that con trlbutlons had been the seed sown in 1890 and 1900 and kept alive ever since by the eloquence of Wm. J. Bryan, a grandson of Vlr- glnln. and encouraged by the voice and mandate of Theodore Roosevelt, who will no doubt be ready to place him In nomination at the next Democratic national convention." Thl* allusion to a recent meeting In the South, at which a speaker sug gested that Mr. Hryan ghould nomi nate Mr. Roosevelt for the PPresi- dency. waa greeted with cheering. Mr. Tyler went on to say that the peo ple of the South are practically united for Mr. Bryan and that the mention of his name is as potent in flashing a magic spell of enthusiasm as It was In '9*. He believed the millions of American voters would never forsake the banner of Mr. Bryan. A message from the Southern De mocracy wns delivered by Represent ative Ollle James, of Kentucky, who added an emphatic word In behalf of old Democratic faith. “We would guard with vigilance and courage." he I said, "State rights and local self-gov ernment. hut the nomocracy believes that the Democratic party stands as a great divide between monopolistic greed on one hand and socialistic ruin on the other.” Mr. James hailed Mr. Bryan as one of the pioneers of the Democratic party and added: , "The Southern Democracy tonight gathers about Wm. J. Bryan- for the blooming flowers of Florida to the waving blue grass of Kentucky Democracy of all Dixie proclaims that It waits Bryan to lead In the next great fight. The South says of Bryan: "For twelve long years we have made on the strength of promises .to do something. “I accept the correction,** paid Mr! Troup, “but Mr. Cortelyou knew dif ferently. He should not have deceiv ed the President. He should have told him. What the President claims he was In utter ignorance, th9 chairman of his national committee knew about." Mr. Troup then proceeded to offer his resolution. At first he included only the Republican National commit tee but at a suggestion from a member that this would be a partisan move ment. Mr. Troup changed his resolu tion that U took in also the Demo cratic National committee. This chafige was accepted by many members aa being wisely reasonable. Mr. Troup wanted the resolution adopted immediately, but several speakers expressed the opinion that early action would not be good policy. Eventually a compromise was reached and the matter was referred to the executive committee with the under standing that it would make a report at some future meeting of the associa tion to be called by the president. Warfield to Punish Violators. A statement that he intended to pros ecute all people who used large sums of money at the next election In his State was made by Governor Warfield of Maryland. In a vigorous speech Governor Warfield declared that he stood firmly opposed to the corrupt use of money in elections He wanted a bill passed In his State limiting the amount of money which any can didate could use. Wm. J. Bryan, the principal speaker To Guard Her Health at Im portant Times in Her Life When Her Physical Con- v/ dition Will Decide Ji Her Future. It is useless to tell a hard-working woman to take life easy and not to worry. But it is the duty of every woman as she approaches the age of forty to save her strength as much as possi ble, to take her cares as lightly as may be and to build up her system to meet any unusual demands upon 1L It is a duty not only to herself but to her family for her future health depends upon it. To guard against & complete break down in health, the blood must be kept pure and rich. No other medi cine does this so well as Dr. Williams’ Pink Pllla for they act both on the blood and the nerves, restore the ap petite, and keep every organ toned up. All women cannot rest whenever they should but this strengthening medi cine Is within every woman’s reach. Mrs. Mary J. McDan'el, of 1172 N. Church St, Decatur, I1L. found Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Just the tonic she needed, even after she was com pletely broken-down In health and ap parently beyond the help of medicine. She says: ' “I became run-down In health a few years ago and for over six months grew worse daily, with no prospect of relief. I suffered from such terrible pains In the top of my head that I thought I should go crazy. My limbs were always codd and I was often so dizzy and short of breath that I could ex ~ hardly get about the house. My blood waa thin and I lost over thirty pounds In weight. Many days I had to give up and go to bed. "My doctor said he could not help me and later when I had.a hacking cough feared I might go into con sumption. I read about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in our paper and had my husband bring some of them home. They helped me so much that I used them until entirely cured. I have been able ever since to do all of my work with ease., I have the greatest faith In the pills, as a tonic for weak, run down women. I am in perfect health now and do not know what It is to be sick any more." Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills revitalize and build up the blood. This makes them a most valuable medicine for disease dependant upon thin and wa tery blood, such as anaemia, after effects of the grip and fevers, general weakness, rheumatism. indigestion, nervousness, St. Vitus* dance, and even partial paralysis and locomotor ataxia. If you are suffering from any of these diseases, you cannot afford to experiment, but should use the medicine which has cured them for over a generation. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box. six boxes for $2.50. by the Dr. Wil liams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

GENERAL BOTHA A VERY PICTURESQUE FIGURE LONDON, April 17.—General Botha is becoming quite the central and pic turesque figure in the gathering of colonial premiers. He ^-as the recip ient of a pretty compliment from War Secretary Haldane at the banquet to the Premiers given tonight by the “Eighty Club.” Mr. Haldane In the course of a speech said: “As the Secretary of State, responsi ble for the war office, I welcome a new general among us, and a very great general, too—and I believe jny general staff and I are going to have the pleas ure on Saturday of conferring with him on mutual defence of the empire." A great burst of cheering greeted this statement. At the grand hall reception Lord Roberts sought out General Botha in the reception room and sat next to him at luncheon. While driving to the guild hall today, it was noticed that General Botha sa luted in passing the statue of Glad stone. It was Gladstone who restored the Boers their independence after the battle of Majuba. i GREENSBORO, X. C., April 17— While his wife held in her hands a pistol pointed in his face. Dr. R. B. Pat terson struck her over the head with a chair in their home at Libertv, Ran- dolp County, this afternoon and a few minutes later Mrs. Patterson died from the effects of the blow. The awful tragedy shocked the people of the vil lage when it became known, as both Dr. and Mrs. Patterson are related to the best families of the State. For some time the marital relations be tween the two have been anything but pleasant and difficulties have occurred on other occasions. This morning Dr. Patterson went to call on a woman, a patient of his, and Mrs. Patterson ob jected to his going. She had orten ob jected to allowing him to attend lady patients, and some times accompanied him. Upon his return todav a diffi culty ensued and his wife drew a pis tol upon the doctor. He raised a chair and struck her. Self-defense will be his plea. It is understood that no warrant for his arrest has yet been issued.

This sentiment was warmly ap plauded. Mr. Bryan Speaka. It was midnight before Mr. Bryan be gan his address. When he rose to speak he was accorded a tremendous ovation while the Kind played “Hail to the Chief.” Mr. Bryan said his sole desire was that the Democratic party mould enter the next campaign with the strongest Democratic strength it could find In order to bring out a tri umphant vote. It was not necessary for him he thought to be a candidate, for any office, as there was joy enough for him In the private life, provided he could get his ideas put into opera tion. “We sec so many Democratic princi ples put into operation by a Republi can President." he said. "I can imagine what Joy it would be to have those principles carried out by a Democratic Fresidcnt. At some time in the future T shall decide what my place Is to be iu the next campaign. But I want to say it will take the rest of my life to get even with the people of this country for the favors I have already received." Mr. Bryan’s oratory often brought his hearers to their feet with exclamations of approval and shouts j of applause. More especially when he enunciated the words: "If you do not believe In the right of a law by Congress providing for a public declaration both by the donor and the recipient of all campaign of ferings. He wanted all violations of this law punishable as criminal of fenses. By this means alone, he held, could the secret contributions given for a sinister purpose, be stamped out, and a greater hindrance to honest pol itics be overthrown. Other speakers were Samuel Gompors, the president of the American Federation of Labor and former Senator Chandler of New Hampshire. Plans were formed for renewing ef forts at the next Congress for a pub licity law of national scope. MRS. M’LEAN HISSED IN D. A. R. UNCLE SAM’S BRAND USED UNLAWFULLY WASHINGTON.

Ayulta is about fifty miles south of Chilpancingo, in the State of Guerero and some twenty miles west of Aca pulco. It is one of the most historic towns in the republic, for it was here that the "Plan of Ayutla” was con ceived' which caused the revolution, made a real republic and developed the talents of a young officer named Pirfirio Diaz. The population of Ayu tla is small and it is thought that the loss of life there will he insignificant. The modern patent medicine business is the natural outgrowth of tho old- time household remedies. In the early history of this country, EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS EOME- MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas, bitters, laxatives and tonics, were to bo found in almost every house, compounded by the housewife, sometimes assisted by the apothecary or the family doctor. Such remedies as picra, which was ' aloes and quassia, dissolved in apple brandy. Sometimes a hop tonic, made of whisky, hops and hitter harks. A score or more of popular, homemade remedies were thus compounded, the , formulae for which were passed along irom house to house, sometimes written, sometimes verbally communicated. The patent medicine business is a natural outgrowth from this wholesome old-time custom. In the beginning, some enterprising doctor, impressed by the usefulness of one of these homemade remedies, would take it up, improve it iu many ways, manufacture it on a large scale, advertise it mainly through alman acs for the home, and thus it would become used over a largo area. LATTERLY THE HOUSEHOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC FORM. Peruna was originally one of these old-time remedies. It was used by the Mennonite3, in Pennsylvania, before it was offered to the public for sale. Dr Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COMPOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Mennonite origin. First, he prescribed it for his neighbors and his patients. The sale cf it increased, and at last he established a manufactory and furnished it to the general drug trade. The history of Peruna is also the history of many other well-known pat ent medicines to-day. Furnishing medicinal comuounds direct to the people through the druggists, is simply the extension of tho practice begun by the people themselves. The patent medicine industry is A TREMENDOUS SAVING for the people. It enables the householder to purchase a useful remedy, together with direc tions and other medioal advice, at a cost far below the average price of a doc tor’s visit Like the shoe factory, tho wagon factory, and the clothing fac tory, it lowers the price at the same time it perfects the product. The par ent medicine business enables families far removed from doctors, to avail themselves of the medical advice of specialists, and to profit by their favor- Patent Medicines a Great Saying to the People. CITY OF MEXICO. April 17- Heavy earthquake shocks continued on the west coast until 4 o'clock Tuesday morning. Late news from the area of greatest destruction In the recent earthquake shows that the devastation was greater than at first supposed.

NATURALLY THIS INDUSTRY HAS ITS OPPONENTS. The fact that the people can, for chronic diseases and petty acute ailments, save themselves the expense of calling a physician by purchasing a well-tried home remedy, put up under the personal direction of some experienced doctor, and that they a can do this at a great deal less expense than to employ the local doctor cuts out a large slice from the income of the medical profession generally, BUT IS AN IMMENSE SAVING TO THE PEOPLE.

But we believe that the people will understand and maintain their rights in this matter, and Peruna trill continue as a useful and all-round household remedy. Peruna is a household remedy of great merit, and is useful in a great many climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds, sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE USE OF PERUNA and its value in the treatment of these ailments. They have learned to trust and believe in Dr. Hartman's judgment, and to rely on manufacturer, and to protect inno cent dealers who have a right, under the law, to rely upon his guaranty.

April 14—In his ser mon at the memorial service of the Loyal Legion of the United States in the Church of the Incarnation, Madison avenue and Thirty-fifth street, this afternoon the Rev.

Dr. DIx’s sermon was heard by Bish op Potter and several prominent army and navy officers of the Civil War and their guests. In it he prophesied the greatest war this planet has ever seen. “You as members of such an order as this," said Dr. Dix. “can have no sym pathy with people who waste their time and breath in decrying the soldier and misrepresenting the value of his work; with such as would disband, had they COREY TO WED MRS.
