‘Washington Letter.
By Our Regular Correspondent.
Leading Democrats, assisted by
Representative Babcock, of Wis
consin, Chairman of the Republi
can Congressional Campaign Com
mittee, who has recently become
almost as good a . Democrat as
those who call themselves by that
name), are discussing the advisa
bility of urging in* the next Con-
o-ress a law which will restrain the
reckless speculation in the water
of huge businees consolidations.
At present these trusts, or what
ever else they are called, organize
and issue stocks to the value of
two or three times their combined
capital. This is sold by the or
ganizers on the market at prices
far beyond its value. Then in a
year or so,’ comes a slump, the
consolidation fails to pay and ul
timately goes into bankruptcy,
and then the owners of the stock
lose, while the fraudulent organ
izers get away with fortunes. This
is proposed to be prevented by
making an owner of stock liable
for the debts of the corporation
for two years after he has sold his
interest. Some such, rule seems
to furnish the only possible reme
dy for the pernicious work of un
scrupulous promoters. Corpora
tions are being organized on every
hand, and nobody knows who or
what is benind them. When the
crash comes, the men who put up
the job are out of the company en
tirely, and only the new and inno
cent holders of the watered secu
rities can be reached. Congress
legislate so that the actual

President Gonipers of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor declines
to discuss the rumors of a strike
among the operatives.of the cot
ton mills of the southern states,
which is 3aid to have been set for
the nedlr;future. The story goes
that the federation of labor has
been gradually organizing the op
eratives in that section for several
years, and that the labor unions
are now very strong among the
spinners in a‘ll parts of the South;
that the plans adopted by the fed
eration there are the same as those
pursued by them in the anthra
cite coal regions to organize thor
oughly and chen demand recogni
tion from the mill owners for the
unions. Mr. Gompers prefers not
to give any information concern
ing the question of the organiza
tion in the South. He denies,
however, in a most positive man
ner the report that demands have
been made upon the manufactures,
but declares that if they should
be made they will be readily gran
ted.
Sir William Yah Horn of Can
ada, has* been here talking with
Secretary Root on the subject' of
his railroads in Cuba. He has no
charter or franchise of any sort,
but has bought up nearly all of
the existing railways in the island,
and is extending them, taking the
chances of trouble in the future.
Some of these railways have fran
chises which permit them to ex
tend their tracks, and others have
none, but it makes no difference
to Sir William. He is buying his
right of way for cash just as he
would buy any other property, and
laying steel rails upon it just as
lie would build a house or a sugar
ey orders which are never present
ed for payment?” wasjasked of a
postal official. “They disappear
in various ways,” was the reply.
“Some are burned or torn up in
stead of the receipt, and this is
particularly true of international
money orders, where the receipts
are bf the same size of the orjler,
only white in color. Some are
sent in letters which are not ad
dressed at all, or are incorrectly
addressed, and these find their
way to the dead letter office. U1
tiniately most of these letters find
their way back to the remitters,
or duplicates are applied for.
“The British government utilizes
as a source of postal revenue all
of the money in its hands which
is not paid out to meet money or
ders upon presentation, and de
rives about $50,000 annually there
from! Our couutry does not at
tempt to derive any profit from
this source, and the money is
turned into the treasury, where it
is held in trust, as it were, to
meet these obligations. The gov
ernment has no desire to claim or
confiscate th.s money and it will
pay its obligations in the form of
a money order at any time upon
presentation, upon satisfying it
self, in the instance of a long
lapse of years,, that there has been
no previous payment by duplicate
or otherwise. In Great Britain, I
believe, this money becomes for
feited to the government after a
certain number of years, four,. I
think. The British government
evidently proceeds upon the theo
ry that if a holder of a money or
der, or the sender, does not seek
to cash the order within a reason
able time, the government can
put it to good advantage by ap
plying th& amount to its own ns
Such a practice undoubtly facili
tates the business of the govern
ment’s end of the contract, and is
strictly legal if authorized by law.
There is to-day an accumulation
of over $2,500,000 in the treasury
of these unclaimed money orders
which has been gradually piling
up year after year during the thir
ty-five years the government has
been conducting a money order
business. The government'has is
sued $4,000,000,000 in money or
ders, and has paid evey cent of
this great sum except the $2,500,
000 I have mentioned.”
into the room. The girl then held
a mirror in front of her heart.
As her eyes become accustomed;
to the darkness she began to dis- j
cern the outlines of her heart. ■
Gradually it developed until she |
saw it clearly. For several min-;
utes the girl watched the pulsat
ing organ and then, turning to Dr.
Message, she said:
“I guess, after all, it is not my
heart that bothers me.”

The girl is the mother of the wo

the womanly functions begin is
one to be carefully watched and
considered. Irregularity or de

use of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre

critical period may entail years of
future suffering. “Favorite Pre-.
