A Considerate Kentucky Judge.
Representative Kehoe of Kentucky
tells of a considerate judge in his State
Who passed sentence on a man convicted
of murder. The judge said:
"Mr. Dodson. the jury says you are
guilty of murder, and the law says you
are to be hanged. It is my wish that
you and all your friends on the river
to know that it is not I who condemns
you; it is the jury and the law, Mr.
Dodsen. At what time, sir, would you
like to be hansred?" The prisoner made
answer that it was a matter of indifference
to him, and that he was preWOMEN
NO!
This Statement Has Bet
Modest Women Ev
Male Physicians.
. An eminent physician says that
Women are not truthful; they will lie
to their physician." This statement
should be qualified; women do tell the
truth, but not the whole truth, to a
male physician, but this is only in regard
to those painful arid troublesome
disorders peculiar to their sex.
EL
There can be no more terrible ordsal
to a delicate, sensitive, refined woman
than to be obliged to answer certain
questions when those questions are
asked, even by her family physician.
This is especially the case with unmarried
women.
'* '
Is it any wonder, then, that women
continue to suffer and that doctors
fail to cure female diseases when they
cannot get the proper information to
work on ?
This is the reason why thousands and
thousands of women are now corresponding
with Mrs. Pinkham. To her
they can and do give every symptom,
so that she really knows more about
fmiA nnnrlifmn nf nofionfa
through her correspondence with them
than the physician who personally
questions them.
If you suffer from any form of trouble
peculiar to women, write at once to
Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., and she
will advise you free of charge.
' The fact that this great boon, which
is extended freely to women by Mrs.
Pinkham, is appreciated, the thousands
of letters received by her prove.
Many such grateful letters as the following
are constantly pouring in.

one day, and cut them out. "You

Effect* of Prosperity.
In the six yeai'3 of the country's
greatest prosperity, from 1897 to 1903,
average prices of breadstuffs advanced
63 per cent.; meats, 23.1 per cent.;
dairy and garden products, 50.1 per
cent,, and clothing 24.1. All these were
products of the farmer and stockman,
who profited more than any other class
of the community by these advances.
The miner benefited 42.1 per cent, by
that advance in the average price of
metals. The only decrease in the average
prices of commodities in that period
was in railway freight rates, which
decreased from .70S per ton-mile in
1S97 to .763 in 1903, a loss of 4.4 per j
cent. The report of the Interstate
Commerce Commission shows that the j
average increase in the pay of railroad '

New York Citj.?Russian diplomacy
has made several very foolish and
very futile attempts to have it appear
that Japan was seeking tentative
peace proposals. Ail these having
failed, as was inevitable. Russia now
does what she ought to have done in
the first place. She'acknowledges, in
a semi-official Statement from the Ministry
at St. Petersburg, that the peace
party "has won the Emperor to its
side"' in the consideration of tentative
terms which he would accept.
It is now admitted that liberal compen

though the Russian Government still
goes through the ridiculous form of asserting
that it will not'listen to "indemnity
or cession of territory.''
The peace party, however, is careful
to give out that Russia could turn
over to, the victorious country the proceeds
of the sale of the Chinese Eastern
Railway: that a generous sum
could be paid for the maiutenance of
Russian prisoners in Japan; that Russian
warships would be surrenderedas
prizes of war. and that fisheries
rights would be relinquished in perpetuity.
Other concessions which Russia
woul<i be "willing" to make in return
for an early peace would be a
diminishment of the Siberian army
for a stated period, a naval program
satisfactory to Japan, a recognition of
Japan's protectorate rights in Korea
and a confirmation of her territorial
possessions of Port Arthur and the
Liau Tung peninsula, with the establishment
of a neutral zone between the
Mongolian side of China and Siberia,
the railroad from that point down to
Port Arthur being under international
ownership.
Ail these concessions, it goes without
saying, must be made whether Russia
"accepts" peace now or continues the
war. And many of them, it may be
added, are in fact indemnities, whatever
the Czar's Ministry may call
them. But the indemnity is not sufficient,
and.' we have no doubt, will not
be allowed to be sufficient by victorious
Japan. Probably the Mikado will
exact no cession of Eussian territory,
in tbe sense of real Russian territory,
because it would be of no use to Japan
or to any one else. What Japan
has wished to do first of all was to
put the Muscovite invader out of Korea
and Manchuria, and this she has I
accomplished. What she has a right
to expect, and will exact, is that Russia
shall pay a heavy financial forfeit
for her attack on and imperiling of
the national safety of Japan, the in-'
tegrity of China and international relationships
in the Far East Russia
can .either acknowledge this obligation
now, before Japan has technically
occupied territory that is strictly Russian,
or she can blunder along for a
few weeks more, until Oyama's armies
have advanced into Siberian territory,
and Vladivostok falls as Port Arthur
fell.
The New Ragsian Loan.
St. Petersburg, Russia.?A preliminary
contract was signed, with a number
of Rusian banks for the issue ot
$75,000,000 of the proposed internal
loan of $100,000,000. The bonds bear
interest at the rate of five per cent,
per annum and are redeemable in fifty
years. The issue price is 96.
The successful conclusion of the internal
loan of ?100,000.000 at the emission
price of 9U comes as a gleam of
sunshine in an otherwise clouded situation.
Of this amount the Government
savings bank takes one-fourth
and private banks and an underwriting
syndicate the remainder.
The internal situation in Russia is
a source of continued apprehension.
In the south of Russia workingmen
and peasants already are joining
hands, and from the Caucasus, Poland
and other quarters encounters between

ADDICKS AGAIN THWARTED
Delaware Legislature Adjourns Sins
Die Without Breaking Deadlock.
Firat Ballot Cast on February 8 and
Balloting; Has Continued
Since That Date.
Dover, Del.?Without electing a Sen
ator, although four ballots were taken
and filibustering resorted to to continue
the balloting, the Delaware General
Assembly adjourned sine die, and as a
consequence Delaware will not be fully
represented in the United states Senate
for the next two years. Senator J.
Frank Allee retains his seat, but John
Edward Addicks failed to secure the
other.
While no agreement had been !
reached when the members entered I
upon the final joint session, there were j
hopes among many of the members
that a solution of the problem might be
reached. It was intended by the Union
Republicans to cast only one ballot, but .
when the first ballot had been taken
and efforts were made to separate the
Democrats, it was found that the regular
Republicans had a scheme to prolong
the balloting in the hope of electing
one of their number.
Three more ballots were taken; all
resulting the same, except that Representatives
Lingo and Vanderburg
changed their votes from T. Coleman
Du Pont to State Senator S. S. Pennewill.'
A recess of fifteen minutes was
then taken. The Union men conferred,
and. upon information that the Democrats
would assist them, went back
into the joint session ready to move a
separation, which was done, and the
motion was carried, much to the chagrin
of the Regulars and the Union !
bolters.
Senator Pennewiil. who was to have !
been the nominee of the Regulars and i
the seven Union bolters, became angered
at President Pro Tem. Connei
when he recognized a motion from Senator
Rose (Dem.) rather than from
Representative Vanderburg (Rep.), and
made remarks to Mr. Conner as he was
-leaving Representative Hall which
have caused a wider breach among the
Republicans of Delaware. As final
separation of the joint assembly was
secured pandemonium reigned, many
shouting for joy becausi Addicks
again had failed to reach the goal. ?
The first ballot taken resulted: Addicks,
15; Du Pont, 14; Saulsbury
(Dem.), 13: Hughes (Dem.),' 8; T. C. Du
Pont, 2. Total vote. 52; necessary to
choice, 27.
The ballofeng for Senator in joint
session began February 8.
The first ballot resulted as follows:
J. Edward Addicks, Union Republic
can, 22; Henry A. Du Pont, ReguTat
Republican, 9; Willard Saulsbury, Democrat,
2; one member, a Democrat, absent.
Since then there have been changes,
the Regular Republicans voting for s j
week for Henry A. Richardson, of Dover,
in order to show their willingness J
to vote for Union Republicans other
than Addicks.
Seven of Addicks' followers joined
them, and also cast their votes on various
ballots for T. Coleman Du Pont,
but the other fifteen Union Republl'
caus remained true to Addicks.

Washington, D. C.?The solution of
the Santo Domingo difficulty was arrived
at by the President. Secretary
Taft and Attorney-General Moody. An
arrangement has been made whereby,
despite the Senate's failure to ratify
the treaty the United States will go
right ahead taking charge of the little
republic's revenues and settling its
claims. '
Before the Cabinet meeting the President
conferred on this matter with Mr
Taft. Mr. Moody and Senators Lodge
and Spooner. Then it was taken up at
the Cabinet meeting and discussed
there. After the Cabinet meeting adjourned
Mr. Taft and Mr. Moody re
mained, and instructions for carrying
out the scheme were drawn up.
In the afternoon Mr. Taft took these
instructions to Acting Secretary of
State Adee in the form of a letter from
the President. It reads:
"White House, Washington.
"To the Acting Secretary of State:
"I have carefully considered the following,
cablegram from Minister Dawsou:
" "Under pressure foreign creditors
and domestic peril, Dominican Government
offers to nominate a citizen of the
United States receiver of southern
ports pending ratification protocol: four
northern ports to be administered under
the award. Forty-five per cent, of
total shall go to Dominican Government.
fifty-five to be deposited in New

steps in the meantime, and receiver to
have full authority to suspend importers"

" 'Italian. Spanish-German and American
creditors, except the Santo Domingo
Improvement Company, accept
unconditionally; Belgian and French
representatives will recommend acceptance.
Some modus vivendi absolutely
necessary. I am ready, if desired.
to start for Washington, D. C.,
to explain details ana mocnncauons to
plan obtainable. Whole matter can be
held open during my absence.
" 'DAWSON.'
"I direct that the Minister express
acquiescence in the proposal of the
Government of Santo Domingo for the
collection and conservation of its rev*
enues, pending the action of the United
States Senate upon the treaty, to the
end that in the meantime no change
shall take place in the situation which
would render useless its consummation
or bring complications into its enforcement.
"The Secretary of War of the United
States will present for nomination by
the President of the Dominican Republic
men to act in the positions referred
to, in both the northern and southern
ports. The utmost care will, of course,
be taken to choose men of capacity and
absolute integrity, who, if possible,
shall have some knowledge of Spanish.

until the Senate has acted. If the ac- I
tion is adverse the money will then be j
turned over to the Dominican Govern- !
ment. If it Is favorable it will be dis- j
tributed among the creditors in propor- |
tion to their just claims under the !
treaty.
"Meanwhile Mr. Hollender will thor- !
oughly investigate these claims, ihciud- !
ing the claim of the American Improve- !
ment Company, and.will report in de- i
tail all the information he is able to j
gather as to the amount actually re- j
ceived by Santo Domingo, the amount I
of indebtedness nominally incurred. I

judgment it was our duty to our less j

It wasn't a run on ?a bank. It was

subscribe to the new four aud a liaif ?
per cent. Japanese loan before it should
be too late. Members.of the Exchauge
were tuere to put in tiieir applications
in person.
Jammed into line with them were
messenger boys with envelopes con- i

issue and its high interest returii.
When the subscription taking -was :
fairly under way there was a hustle
such as the conservative old banking
house has not seen for many a day.
"They tairly tore us to pieces." declared
a representative of the firm in
the course of th? morning. "Until 11 '
or 12 o'clock wc; had not time to
breathe."
And this was pretty nearly so In
fact, so far as those who were engaged
in handling the applications were con- ,
cerned. for with the flood of money and
checks there was a rush of questions
of every conceivable nature from the
folks who were, not in the* habit daily
of having a part in a $75,000,000 issue.
Some had to be shown where to write
in on the application blanks the amount
for which they subscribed, and very
many were worried at seeing their
money disappear without getting sc
much as a receipt for it.
To some it was explained that checks
were receipts; others whose deposits
were in cash were told to take a good

In making such allotments as this ol
the Japanese loan it is the custom ol
bankers to give preference to the smal.'

stand the largest cuts in the amount ol

indicate large subscriptions throughout

London, England.?The issuing banks
estimate that the Japanese loan has
been oversubscribed at least ten times '
They thiuk the foreign applications
alone fully cover the whole amount.
The portion allotted to London was
well oversubscribed within an hour ol

For an hour before the doors opened
thrcmgs crowded the vicinity of the iS'

in many thousands of applications, and
tbe enormous subsequent deliveries
gave evidence of public interest in the
loan.
An interesting feature was J.he faetx ,
that many applications were received
from the Continent, indicating a chaugc

COMMISSIONER CARFIELD'S REPORT
It la Found to Be Favorable to the Great
Packer*.
The report of Commissioner of Corporations
Garfield on the beef indnsf-rTT
offor o hAn t- ni/rnh mnnHjs' Jnveg
tigation iu Chicago and elsewhere,
shows that there has been an enormous
amount of exaggeration in the state- N
ments that have appeared for some
time past in regard to the beef bust- f
ness. This investigation was set on'
foot by a resofution of the House of
Representatives adoptec^March 7,1904,
and the ascertained facts after a. most
rigid examination of the methods and
general conduct of the 'business are
contained in a report covering 308 I
pages. Its "figures and tables conclusively
show lhat the popular belief in
enormous profits made by the large
packers, such as Armour & Co., Swift
& Co. and Nelson Morris & Co., and
in the exclusive control of the business
which many think they enjoy, ia
really without foundation.
xae report maue i<> cresiuem nuuw
velt by Commissioner Garfield is really
the first official statement of the,actual
conditions of the beef business
that has been made, and 4s all the conclusions
arrived at are based, as shown
by him, upon data officially obtained,
there seems to be no reason why they ;
should not be regarded as reliable and
in all respects trustworthy^
This report shows why the price otv
both cattle and beef ndvaricM to the
highest level ever known after the
short corn crop of 1301, and states that
because of the decrease in number of.
cattle and also in decreased, weight*,
"the high prices of beef which caused
so much complaint azrfong consumers
it this time were attributable wholly
to these abnormal cattle prices."
All the figures of the live weight and live
cost of all dressed beef cattle were
ODtainea trom aciuai Kiiung rewras, ,i
and all information of every kind ob- -l\
tained by the Commissioner wasarolun- j
tarily and freely offered by the pack- j
ers, all books of record and papets |
connected with the business having - |
been placed at his disposal.
To make certain that the results of
the investigation should be absolutely
accurate^the Commissioner states that
a double method of ascertaining profit*
was adopted, and, without going into
detail here, it is found that the conclusion
arrived at shows an average proflt I
of 99 cents per head. The Commissioner
says "the close parallelism in
the results of the two "methods of ascertaining
the profits confirms completely
the correctness of the general
conclusions." Jt is clearly established
that "Western packers do not control
more than half of the beef supply of
the United States," the conclusion of
the Commissioirer being that the busi
ness done by them amounts to "about
45 per cent." of the total' slaughter of ,
the country. The
whole report is extremely Interesting
and well worthy of careful perusal.
As an official report It may be
regarded as worthy of confidence, and
It certainly leads the reader to the
conclusion arrived at by the Commit
sloner when he states that "tfce capi?
talizatlon of none of these concerns It
excessive as compared with its actual
investment," and that from thorough
and rigid examination of original en- t
tries in books and papers to whicb Jxe
had access there was also "indirect e*t
dence that the profits of the packer*
in their beef business are less than la }
frequently supposed." as shown by
comparison between the total profit!
and the total amount of sales.
