It is astonishing how great a change a few years of married life often make in the appearance and disposition of many women. The freshness, the charm, the brilliance vanish like the bloom from a peach which is rudely handled. Tho matron is only a dim shadow, a faint echo of the charming maiden. There are two reasons for this change, ignorance and neglect. Few young women appreciate the shock to the system through the change which comes with marriage and motherhood. Many neglect to deal with the unpleasant pelvic drains and weaknesses which too often come with marriage and motherhood, not understanding that this secret drain is robbing the cheek of its freshness and tho form of its I fairness.

CHARGE IS BEING PROBED Main Allegation is That Naval Stores Mnnnnnlw I ~ . . . ...v..v^w;r ia i wu vivas 10 i nai or Standard Oil Company In Its Operations. Word comes from New York that the federal government is getting after "turpentine trust." which is supposed to have its headquarters in Savannah. Ga. The news is that t.he United States district attorney there is co-operating with the southern district of Georgia in this movement. It is alleged that a hard and fast agreement exists between the various constituent companies belonging to the socalled trust, and that, the business and teritory have been divided up in regular octopus fashion. It is intimated that the turpentine trust, socallAd, is influenced and controlled to a greater or less degree by the Standard Oil company. It is known that, the Standard Oil interests in the past have endeavored to absorb the turpentine and rosin industries. E. S. Nash, president of the New American Naval Stores company, just formed from the Patterson-Downing and S. P. Shotter companies,. said that he did not know anything about the suggested prosecution. "Have the companies with which you are associated any connection with the :Standar<? Oil?" Mr. Nash was asked. we aecnnea 10 answer on tne ground that the question was too personal in its nature. Alexander Akeiman, United States attorney, was in Savananh recently on business, now supposed to have h^d connection with naval stores matters. NEGRO STAVED OFF NOOSE. Gained Brief Respite.from Gallows by Fighting Sheriff and Helpers. Fighting with the desperation of a man who has nothing to lose, Mims Devereaux, a negro sentenced to hang at Milledgeville, Ga., Friday, between the hours of 10 a. m. to 2 p. m., for the murder of another negro, kept at bay the sheriff and all available help for nearly two hours, the execution not beipg accomplished until one hour after the time named in> the sentence, and iot until nearly every means had been exhausted, including the pouring on him for three-quarters of an hour of water from the fire hose. The trouble started when the sher. iff entered Devereaux's cell .and ordered him to don his gallows clothes. The sheriff had Just offered the clothes to him when Devereaux threw a full bucket of water in >his face, following it with the bucket, which missed the sheriff, who stepped to one side. This was followed by another bucket, and a glass bottle, and another bottle, which forced the sheriff out of the corridor between the cells, as the sheriff di'l not wish to shoot him. The retreat of the sheriff left the negro in possession of his cell and the corridor between the cells. Finally three men made a dash for him at the risk of their lives and succeeded in overpowering him. Devereaux was then securely tied and led upon the trap. His neck was broken and he died without a struggle. SPONSORS AND MAIDS BARRED. | Give the Veterans First Honors, Say Daughters of Confederacy.

Had Been Identified by Woman as Her Assailant, But, Through Accident, is Proven Innocent. i In just four and one-half minutes after a jury in the Pulton county superior court at Atlanta Friday afternoon, had retired, Joe Glenn, a negro, was found not guilty of the charge of criminally assaulting Mrs. J. N. Camp. Thus was brought to a close one of the most remarkable cases of its kind ever tried in the county?a case which will long stand as a precedent for other communities to follow; a precedent whicfc will doubtless do much 10 save me uniawrui and unprovoked shedding of human blood. On November 13 Mrs. Camp, a white woman, was assaulted by a negro who afterwards tied a leather tliong around her throat, almost choking her to death. She did not know the name of her assailant. In a few hours Joe Gleun, a negroj farmer living some three miles distant, was arrested. Mrs. Camp identified him as the man, although her first description did not coincide with the general appearance of the negro. On November 15 Glenn was Indicted by the grand jury. Three prominent lawyers of the Atlanta bar were-appointed counsel to defend him. Just one day later, after the fairest of trials, he was acquitted and the toils began to fasten themselves around another negro, Will Johnson, who was captured in a remote section of the city while Glenn's trial was in progress. In fact, up to the time of the capture of this latter negro it looked very much as if Glenn would be convicted on a case of mistaken identity. Evidence that seemed proof positive pointed to him as the man. The victim of the assault had been confronted with him a few hours after the crime and declared him to be the man. Again, while or^the stand telling her pitiful story, she had again seen him suddenly brought into the room. With every nerve of her sensitive woman's nature suffering the exquisite torture which only a woman tip-n nnciHnn rmilH she rrtad cut: "j "You are the one?you, you low down rascal. Oh, I'd like to kill you. Yes, put on that old hat. You??ou? you?" Aiid then, words failing, she hecame convulsive with a paroxysm of violent weeping. Owing to this outburst on the woman's part a mistrial was asked. It was refused and the trial proceeded before a jury composed of some of the best citizens of the county. A number of character witnesses were introduced. All stated that Glenn was a hard-working negro who bore a good reputation in the community, paid his debts and had never been in trouble. Scarcely had the afternoon session begun than the surprise of the day was sprung. The jury was retired and Judge Roan was informed that a negro had been captured in West End who tallied exactly with the description of Mrs. Camp's assailant. n^n J<nnp Vila o wirro 1 COl'Oro 1 rvthdr wit rCUUiU, UiO Ck IU1U1 .... nesses were examined. Finally WB11 Johnson, a black ne-. gro of slender build, was ushered into the room. He sat cowering in front of the judge's stand. Officer Buntyn was placed on the stand and stated that he had that day a few hours before arrested Johnson in West End. Th6 negro had a double barrel shotgun and was acting suspiciously and when placed under arrest he was found to have on two suits of clothes, a pair of stockings, a pair of socks, while around his body was tide- a mass of female clothing. He wore a slouch hat almost identical with that worn by the negro Glenn. The hat was turned up in front. The effect on the audience of this unforeseen evidence was magical. What seemed certain guilt on the part of Glenn in the face of Mrs. Camp's identification was- turned to doubt and then to certainty of his innocence. UNIVERSITY FOR FARMERS.

Connected by Cable Now With the Outside World. The establishment of telegraphic communication with Iceland and Faroe is now an accomplished fact, and i3 an event of no little importance to the commercial community not only of Scandinavia, but also of Great Britain. This country has long had intimate relations with these remote possessions of Denmark, relations which are likely to increase as the direct result of the electric link which has now bound them to the rest of the civilized world. To realize how far removed Faroe and Iceland are from the ordinary chaniiels of communication it is only necessary to mention that Faroe lies, in a northwesterly direction from the north of Shetland,';, a distance of 215 miles, while Iceland is further distant still from Faroe by 340 miles, the total distance of the latter from the extreme north of Scotland being thus more than 550 miles. As the ordinary means of communication is by steamer from Leith and Copenhagen, the passage thither is necessarily a protracted one, and many things may happen in either place before a letter can go through the ordinary course of transmission. 1# certain circumstances a reply from Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, would take about three months, practically the same as from the United Kingdom to Australia. To such a remote community, therefore, the telegraph must come as no ordinary boon ?it is an event, indeed, in its history of momentous and far reaching consequence. Denmark and Iceland have put the scheme through. When the new system of wireless telegraphy was so far perfected as to be successfully worked at long distances it was suggested that communication by this means alone could be obtained with Iceland and might be sufficient. This, in fact, was actually accomplished. On June 26, 1905, Iceland was partially at least put into communication with the outer world by means oMhe Marconi system of wireless telegraphy. The messages were sent from one of the Marconi stations in the north of Scotland, but the apparatus at Reykjavik was only able to receive the messages, not to send them. The cable proceeds from the Shetland Islands to Thorshavn, the biggest town in the Faroe Islands, and from there goes direct to. the east j coast ofTcel&nd, from which an over- i land line will be carried' to 'Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland, which.line will also touch several smaller Icelandic towns. It was found that the most suitable place to land the Shetland end of the cable was at Lerwick, a small bay on the west side of the islands, near Scalloway. The work of laying the cable from Shetland to Faroe was begun in July of this year by the telegraph steamer Cambrian. At 4.30 o'clock on the morning of Monday, July 30, the 'final connectiohs were made, and at 5.38 a. m. Mr. Stout, the postmaster of Lerwick, "shook hands" with Thorshavn, and the remote Faroe Islands were brought into telegraphic communication with the rest of the world. The j Cambrian thereafter proceeded to the ! laying of the cable from Faroe to Ice iana. mzs uisk was bucucmiujij completed# on Saturday, August 25, when communication was established between Seydisfjord and Shetland. The construction of the land wire from Seydisfjord to Reykjavik is being proceeded with. Seydisfjord is a town with about 1000 inhabitants. Reykjavik has a population of about 4000. As the distance between these two towns is about 250 miles, and as the roads are practically only bridle paths, the only means of communication is by horse, the journey occupying from two to three weeks. A telegraph line between the two towns will therefore be of immense advantage. Telephone lines will be used in Iceland to connect the smaller towns with the main telegraph line, and the telephone yvill also by utilized in Faroe for the same purpose. It is expected that the land wire will be completed by the end of this month. The cost of telegraphing to Faroe from this country is five and a half pence a word and to Iceland eight and a half pence a word. The director, of the Meteorological Office, London, has arranged with the" Danish Government for the transmission, from October 1, of a daily weather report from Iceland, which, it is believed, will be of much use for forecastingpurposes.?The Scotsman.
