HOSPITALS CROWDED MAJORITY OF PATIENTS WOMEN V lira. Pinkham's Advice Saves Many From this Sad and Costly Experience yfr/i;Ltrd/aA&mspatients lying white beds are women and girls who are awaiting or recovering from opera.. tions made necessary by neglect. Every one of these patients had plenty of warning in that bearing down feeling, pain at the left or right of the womb, nervous exhaustion, pain in the small of the back, leucorrhoea, dizziness, flatulency, displacements of the womb or irregularities. All of these symptoms are indications of an unhealthy condition of the ovaries or womb, and if not heeded the trouble will make headway until the penalty has to be paid by a dangerous operation, and a lifetime of impaired usefulness at best, while in many cases the results are fatal. ' The following letter should bring hope to suffering women. Miss Luella Adams, of the Colonnade Hotel, Seattle, Wash., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:? " About two years ago I was a great sufferer from a severe female trouble, pains and headaches. The doctor prescribed for me and Anally told me that I had a tumor on the womb and must undergo an operation if I wanted to get well. I wit that this was my death warrant, but I spent hundreds of dollars for medical help, but the tumor kept growing. Fortunately I corresponded with an aunt in the New England States, and she advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, as it was said to cure tumors. I did so and immediately began to improve in health, and I was entirely cui*ed, Ihe tumor disappearing entirely, without an operation. I wish every suffering woman I Would try tins great preparation. Just as surely as Miss Adams was ! cured of the troubles enumerated in her letter, just so surely will Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cure every woman in the land who suffers v from womb troubles, inflammation of the ovaries, kidney troubles, nervous ? excitability and nervous prostration. Mrs. Pinkham invites all youngwomen who are ill to write her for free advice. Address, Lynn, Mass.

Chief Clerk Samuel Hoop, of tlia Bureau of Police, who is a close student of animal life, relates an incident coming under his personal observation which goes far to prove the reasoning power of the feline tribe. "For several years," said Mr. Roop recently, "a black cat grew sleek and fat in a snug berth at a grocery store, near Twenty-first and Parrish streets. This cat undoubtedly was envied by all the cats in the neighborhood. 1 make this assprtion confidently, because when poor puss was killed by an automobile the other night, a dozen cats suddenly appeared in the vicinity of the grocery store berth. YoU can be| lieve it or not, as you like, but every ! cne of those cats was black, and I can | only assume that each expected tc [ impersonate the dead feline and step j into his shoes, metaphorically speak' ing, unchallenged. One fellow, a dead ringer for the unfortunate tabby, thrashed all the others, and actually palmed himself off on the storekeeper, who knew nothing about the accident, as the real pet. The grocery man didn't have the heart to fire him out when he learned the truth, and the new cat is waxing as sleek as his predecessor."?Philadelphia Record. - ? t A Kitten in a man oacK. One of the queerest packages that a mall clerk ever tcok In off a mail crane, says the Wheeling Intelligencer, was that received by the clerk on the train on the Ohio River Division of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, which leaves Wheeling about 1 o'clock in the morning. } At a little station callrd Vienna, where a mail sack is taken from a crane, as the train does not stop, the mail clerks the other morning m ide the regular grab for the mail pouch, and after opening it found that a live kitten had e'ther been put in it ty someone or had gotten in accidentally and had been delivered with the mail in that rough way to the car. An examination of the kitten showed that one of its legs was slightly bruised, otherwise it did not appear to be injured.

' addressed the following appeal to the j ! soldiers and sailors: I "Comrades and Brothers: For a 1 long time we have misunderstood each j J other. Your officers taught you to re- j ! gard us as enemies of the fatherland j | and as criminals whom you should j shoot, beat with your whips and j butcher with your bayonets. Our J struggle for the people's freedom and j the people's well being has been de- j picted to you as a revolution against j the fatherland, which you are obliged j to suppress. "Many of you, believing this, have j shot your own brothers, filling thoi I streets of our towns with blood. The i i case is now altered. The eyes of many of the soldiers and sailors have been opened. They understand that all of us are brothers, and that we are sons of the same nation whose common enemies are your command ers and those in power. They un- ! derstand that the liberty of the peo- j pie is their own liberty and the good of the people their own good. "The men of the Black sea fleet at Kronsadt stood against their con?manders and signified that they wanted to lead the lives of men, that they wanted liberty and they associated themselves with the cause of the people. A hundred sailors at Kronstadt have been handed over to a court martial and today or tomorrow j may be executed. Knowing this, we J workmen of St. Petersburg struck, 1 demanding the release of our soldier j and sailor brothers and the abolition j of court martials and the death pen- J alty. "Is it possible that you, soldiers and sailors, will not arise and help your brothers at Kronstadt? Is it possible that you will remain hand in hand with the murderers of . your brothers at Krc.istadt? < "We workmen say: 'The cause of the soldier and the sailor is our ! cause,' and so we have gone out on i strike. You must say everywhere'the j cause of the workmen is our cause : and the struggle of the workmen is i our struggle,' and you must associate yourselves with the struggling people. ! You must strike and refuse to per- i form the duties imposed on you. Do i not listen to the word of command ! calling you to put down the work- < men's movements.

FIRE TAKES THIRTY-NINE LIVES. Most Deadly and Disastrous Blaze Visits Glasgow, Scotland. The most terrible fire that has occurred in Great Britain for many years broke out in Glasgow, Sunday, in a cheap lodging house for men, and resulted in the loss of thirty-nine lives, and the severe injury of many others. GIFTS WERE OVERRATED, j Plunder Brought from the Orient by ! President's Daughter is Not J Worth So Very Much. A Washington dispatch says: The i examination and appraisement of the | presents received by Miss Alice Roosevelt during her visit to the Orient has begun. The officials at the Georgetown custom house have begun to open up the twenty-seven boxes in which the presents were shipped and nthor souvenirs of the visit which re suited in a social conquest of the Far East by the president's daughter. The custom officials say the task is anything but an easy one, owing to the necessity laid on them to appraise the goods on their foreign commercial value. Only about one-third of the boxes have so far been opened and iCollector Nyman and his staff are said to be somewhat surprised as the valuation of their contents will exceed scarcely a few thousand dollars. Although the presents have laid in the strong room in the department of the Georgetown postoffice building in which the customs house is located for three weeks, guarded day and night, there is no effort to get rid of them quickly. When the pres ident instructed that no special hurry was desired and that they should take the regular course, the officials devoted their attention to appraising the large amount of merchandise that already had arrived. They were unusually busy, owing to the importation of Christmas goods. As the work of appraising Miss Roosevelt's presents is being done along with the other work of the office, it s doubtful if the last box will have been examined and the valuation fixed for some days. Miss Roosevelt, who is on a visit to relatives in Massachusetts, will probably be home in time to receive them at the white house. Some of the presents she has not yet seen. HEARST SPENT SMALL FORTUNE. Makes Affidavit That His Election Expenses Were $65,343. William Randolph Hearst, candidate for mayor of New York city on the municipal ownership ticket, certified to the secretary of state at Albany, Friday, that his total campaign expenses were $65,643. This breads the record for sucn expenses, 'winea was formerly neld by uovernor Higgins, who spent during tne last state campaign ?32,000. Mx: Hearst says he contributed all but $17,488 of the $aU,20U> which was spent by the finance committee oi the Municipal Ownership .League for the benefit of ail the candidates on the ticket and expended $4,125 per sonally for buttons and lithographs. Some of the large items were: Law department, $3,597; printing, $8,609; music, $7,898; carriage hire, $2,810; rental of halls, decoration and riuminations, $12,012; watchers for election, $19,580; investigation of registration, $3,206. Mr. Hearst declared that $80,206 was expended equally for the benefit of all the candidates on the ticket. Herman A. Metz, candidate for comptroller of New York, on the democratic ticket, spent $15,000. James G. Phelps Stokes, municipal ownership candidate for president of the New York board of aldermen, spent $317. HOWELL'S ANNOUNCEMENT. Makes Declaration of Candidacy for Governorship of Georgia.

A SEA LEVEL CANAL Decided Upon By Commission After Long Study. VOTE WAS EIGHT TO FIVE Plan Selected Will Call for More Money and Longer Time for Construction, But Benefits Will Be Greater. A Washington special says: Tho board of consulting engineers of the isthmian canal commission at Satur* day's meeting, by a vote of eight to five, declared itself in favor of a sea level canal. The conclusion was reached after a long and careful study of the project. Since the beginning of September the board had held meetings and in special sub-committees had studied the plans for a sea level and a lock canai with the greatest care. A trip to the isthmus was made to enable the members to form a better idea of the me - horf tn ntf cnanicai aimcuiuea nuau uau w ?? | considered. The members of the board are men of the greatest reputation in their line of work. France, Germany and Hoiland sent their most eminent specialists at the request of tne American government. From the beginning it was evident that a majority of the members were in favor of the sea level canal. Their point of view "was that, even if it cost more than a lock canal and would take longer in the building, it would ultimately be of greater use, as it will enable ships to make a mucn shorter trip than if they were obligeg to go through three or four locks. On the other hand, there was a minority which wanted to see the canal built in as short a time as possible, and with the least cost, declaring that a few hours longer for the trip through the isthmus made little or no difference. One of the members gave this explanation for his way of voting: "It may be that several of us will not see the sea level canal finished in our life time, as it will take consiaeraDiy longer than ten years. But if we have the satisfaction to know that for all the generations to follow we have made the shortest and most practical way of communication between the Pacific and the Atlantic and as long as-we had to decide one question for all eternity, we do not think that a few years more or less would make a very important difference. That is the way our party thought about it and whatever we may have said in favor or against it, we have, after the most careful consideration, given an opinion as we saw our way. to do it" No official statement will be given out before the report of the commission reaches President Roosevelt, which will be about January. The decision was reached at noon Saturday and thereby the board practically concluded its labors. There will be a few more meetings simply to deal with small details and to put into permanent fcrms tne results of the board's protracted meetings. The foreign delegates desire to leave to* their homes by the 27th instant.. However, there are two more important steps, at either of which there may be great changes proposed, for the commission must pass the plans and its own recommendations to the president, who, in turn, must stamp them at his own approval or disapproval, and forward them to congress, whlqh, after all, will be the court of last resort as between the sea level and lock canal projects; simply tnrougn me iaci mar aauiuunai legislation will be necessary if a sea level canal is to be built will cost from $75,000,000 to $100,000,000 more than the cheapest practical lock canal, and will consume from five to seven years more in the construction. OUTSIDE VOTER IN THE TOIL* Utica Citizen Was Paid Ten Collars to Cast Ballot in New York.
