if
The first step to the finding of a cure
for any disease is to find its cause. And
it’s a notable fact that the cause of a
disease may be quite remote from its
manifestations. Headache, spots before
the eyes and dizziness are only symptoms
of disease. When the experienced phy
sician is confronted with these symptoms
in a woman he enquires at once as to
tbe condition of the womanly health.
He Vuowi that the general health is
intimately related to the local womanly
health, and from the very symptoms he
argues derangement or disease of the
delicate womanly organism. So far he
is right. But when he begins to treat

"You can publish this., for I am willing

"Favorite Prescription” makes weak
women strong and sick women well. It
establishes regularity, and dries the of
fensive drains which undermine the
strength. It heals inflammation and ul
ceration and cures female weaknses. It
positively cures the nervousness, sleep
lessness, backache and similar ailments
which are caused by disease of the
womanly organs. It is the best prepara
tive for maternity. It cures morning
sickness, gives great physi
cal vitality ana vigor and
makes the baby’s advent
practically painless. It non-
tains no alcohol and it
absolutely free from opium,
cocaine and all other nar
cotics. It cannot disagree
with the most delicr.te.

New York, June 18.—The non-arrival
of the United States consul general to
Havana and the consuls appointed to
Matanzas, Clenfuegos and Santiago
has resulted in seriously crippling com.
mercc with the United States, says n
Herald dispatch from Havana.
Since the evacuation of the Island
by the United .States forces piracy
ind smuggling along the Cuban coast
nave increased enormously. The col
lectors of half a dozen ports are con
stantly requesting the assistance of
revenue cuttc-is. The chief offenders
are smacks from Jamaica, Nassau and
Jarbadocs. There are only two cut-
;eis available to guard 2,000 miles of
coast line. Four others, o\r«ed by the
government, are at present Sit of com
mission.
Six smacks, which were violating the
turtle fishery laws, have been captur
ed. Many others are under surveil
lance and probably will be captured
on the arrival of assistance. Several
instances are reported of actual pi
racy.
Many Cuban smacks have been over
hauled and robbed of catches of fist),
provisions, wator, etc., by foreigners,
who eventually are under the impres
sion that the withdrawal of (be Ameri
cans left the Cubans an easy prey.
It Is probable that exaniplee will b?
made of the captured, which undoubt

It has been suggested by custom of

Establish Claim to Estate of 92,500,000
In Old Country.
Atlanta, June 18.—R. C. O’Rorke, an
Atlanta man, expects soon to come in
to possession of a fortune of no small
proportions.
O’Rorke is proprietor of the Maine
hotel at 10 Walton street. The news
of his good fortune was brought him
yesterday by his first cousin, Frank
O’Rorke,- who also shares in the excel
lent good luck.
The fortune in question, It is claim
ed, is In Ireland and amounts to 92.-
600,000, part of it actual cash In bank
and the remainder in valuable real
estate. In telling the story yesterday
of his good fostune Frank O’Rorke
said:
“A number of years ago my grand
father, William O’Rorke, of Drumna-
han Castle, county of Letrim, Ireland,
died, leaving no will and supposedly no
heirs to his estate, valued at $2,500,000.
’According to the laws of Ireland,
the estate became the property of the
government until the rightful heirs
could be found. After due advertising
a man named Peter O’Rorke, of Cork,
Ireland, claimed the estate and came
very near establishing his claim before
we knew of the death of our kinsman.
When we learned of the true state of
affairs I was commissioned as the le
gal representative to go to Ireland and
establish the claim of my cousin and
myself to the fortune.”
On December 23 last Mr. O’Rorke
says he left for Ireland and without
any delay established their claim to
half the fortune and within a few
months showed beyond a doubt that
he and his cousin, R. C. O’Rorke, and
a third kinsman, Q. W. O’Rorke,. of
Pittsburg, Tex., were the rightful own
ers of the entire estate.
