, FEMALE WEAKNESS 642 1-2 Con«rns'i 8t. Portland, Mai nr, Oct. 17,1802. I consider Wine of ('aniiii superior to any doctor’s medicine I ever used and 1 know whereof I speak. 1 suf fered for nine months with suppressed menstruation which completely pros trat'd me. Pains would shoot t hrough my back and sides and 1 would have blinding hcadnchcs. My limbs would swell uu and I would feel so weak I could not stand up. I naturally felt discouraged for I seemed to be beyond the help of physicians, but Wine of Cardui came as a (iod-send to me. I felt a change for the better within » week. After nineteen days treatment I menstruated without suffering the agonies I usually did and soon became regular and without pain. Wine of Cardui is simply wonderful and 1 wish that all suffering women knew of its good qualities. Treasurer, Portland Economic League iVriodical headaches tell of fe male weakness. Wine of Cardui cures permanently nineteen out of every twenty cases of irregular menses, hearing down pains or any female weakness. If you are discouraged and doctors have failed, that is the best reason in the world you should try Wine of (’ardui now. Remember that headaches mean female weakness.

Overstocked Market and Dullness of T rade. Pittsburg, Sept. 23.—The United States Steel corporation may close all its sheet steel plants in the near fu ture unless the Amalgamated associ ation will consent to a reduction under the same plan as was agreed upon last fall. The reason for this attitude is an overstocked market and the dullness of trade at this time of year. Last year the Amalgamated asso ciation accepted a reduction of 3 per cent on all material made for foreign orders and the steel company, it is said, intends to make a similar reduc tion this year. President Shaffer, of the Amalgamated, sited that he f< sure that the limit would not be chang ed and that existing conditions do not warrant it. ROBBERY AND ARSON. WANTED SIMPLE FUNERAL.

NEW YORK FASHIONS Kan mii<I \Vliil*-r MuterlHlH: Stylua In Mak ing: Individual Uotrcs: Millinery. The coming winter will bo one of contrasts. Nothing will be more ele gant or more stylish than broadcloth, its smooth eurface coinmendiug itself especially and the numerous sbad'-s, running close to two hundred, show the great expected demand for it. On the other hand, one sees fleecy zibe* lines, the ra >re expensive reaching a limit of shagginess, in which aggres sive hairs k au inch long will render wearers of the same quite animal- like in appearance. Woe to the snort, stout woman who may venture to as sume suchigarb, and ridiculous in Mu- extreme will she be. resembling some tuft rolling about the streets Per CONTRA, one may readily imagine a tall, lithe figure thus arrruyed. High style will be hers and acknowledged expense, since in proportion to shag giness, prices go up or down, medium zibeiines being comparatively moder ate. Lord et Taylor’s magnificent, display in the-e lines does not how ever hinder a showing of LESS OBTRUSIVE GOOUS and such as will be selected by the large class of persons who, while de sirous of being fashionable, make judicious choice of materials ou the standard order—such fabrics remain ing in vogue season after season and easily changed, if need be, from one member of a family to another. Un der this head, come nruxed cloths, cheviots, tweeds, hair line stripes and camel’s hair goods. Plaids are very prominent among fall goods, the larger proportion being in subdued lories, but rich wine color or effective alternations of blue ami white be come probably a prelude to other striking combinations. STYLES IN MAKING. It seems at last that pouch fronts, so long a refuge for defective figures, are to be greatly modified and in many cases, discarded in favor of dost fitting corsages. For street wear, long, tight fitting coats en sum: with the dress, will be worn, but as this style is fatal to short, stout figures, a short over garment reaching only to the waist, will be in order. In sleeves, there is, as yet, but slight modification of summer ideas, and again will appear those in.- verted puffs that have shown what paucity of idea prevails. Some ELEGANT GOWNS seen at fall exhibitions, are worthy of special mention and a beautiful example in tan broadcloth is made walking length with strapped seams, the waist confined by a cord and tas sels and handsome pendants appear ing on the sleeves and waist about the shoulders, where it is met by a lace yoke laid over white satin The sleeves are in modified bishop shape. With this, is worn a turee-quarters length coat. A second gown in fine pastel blue cloth; is made with a slightly flaring addition to the skirt, with tucks on the flare. Tho upper portion of the skirt is cut in points, each one edged with several rows of narrow silk braid, completed by small buttons; tight fitting coat. Both dresses are bound with the S. H. cfc M. velvet braid skirt protector, for which au-umn exhibitions dis close continued preference. It is used by o^r best modistes, and while giving the most elegant finish, is most easily applied, as it requires only one sewing. Moreover, it* does not deface the shoes.

NEW MILLINERY Thus while fashionable examples remain on the piateau order or with scarce the pretence of a crown, recent introductions show high crovnsin Gainsborough style aid as a special finish of the season, are two or three ostrich plumes nodding on the left side. Smooth beavers, the hairs lying Hat and glossy, have much showing, but again are seen rough, hairy felts in which aggressiver ess as to surface is a leading characteristic. White beavers and felts us well will be very fashionable, but there are dark brown or blue felts that command attention, lied beavers are also prominent and the old time combination of white and black again makes a bid for favor. Combinations of chenille and felt appear.
