Now that differences are patched up 1 tee! sure that thousands of Irishmen in this country will desert the smaller j organizations and become members 01 our order. "The dissension arose at our antionnl meeting in Cleveland, O., in 1S84, over the question of admitting the children of members who had inter-married with other nationalities. Nearly all of the members voted in favor of ad mission, but the balance, who held that only full blooded Irishmen should eelong to the organization and that the head powers should be on the 'other side, remained steadfast and j formed the Board of Erin. "Tihe national officers of the two bodies got together in 1897 and decided upon arbitration. This resulted in favor of the Board of America, hut | 6 per cent of the members would not * join, and maintained the Board of Erin. “Three months ago, the question was , again brought up by McNulty and Dougherty. It has been under dis cussion ever since, and we have just reached a settlement.” The first result of the reunion will be the erection at Fifth avenue land Oreo Hundred and Sixteenth street of a club house and office, which will be thrown oi>en to all Irish societies.

DR. EDSON’S SURPRISE. iicctrlc Hath With Which Now York I'll .vs ici 111 \ hi iimciI Visitors. A visitor to the home of the late Dr. I'ynis Edson of New York was struck by the many queer objects be saw scattered abotil Hie rooms. Directly off the main corridor is a room the fur nishing of which cost many thousands of dollars. Besides a few richly uphol stered chairs and a table the furnish ings were of a medical order. As you stepped into the room you shuddered at the sight of a large wire cage dangling by wires over a chair. About five feet away from the dan gling net was a large box which stood upon four glass pedestals. The box had glass sides, and a peep into it showed four large white wheels. The visitor naturally inquired what the machine was for. A New York World reporter who had occasion to interview Dr. Edson some time ago asked this question. “Ob,” replied the doctor, “that is my patent electrical shower bath. Just try it.” The reporter sat in the chair and the not was lowered over his head and body. A colored man turned a crank in the machine and in an instant a buz.zing sound filled the room. The effect on the reporter was startling. A spray of electricity surrounded him. and for all the world it seemed as though water was dropping on bis head. Slight shocks of electricity ran through the system. “Would you like it cold?” inquired Dr. Edson. The reporter nodded. A button was pressed, and, lo and behold, the spray felt as though a stream of ice cold water had been turn ed on and was dropping on the bead and running down the back. Suddenly and without any warning the button was released and another pushed. The cold air disugeared and as if by n gic a hot stream nearly 100 degrees warm surrounded tho reporter. Gradually the heat was turned off, and a nice, refresh ing cool breeze enveloped the reporter. The effect was grand. The reporter, who had boon suffering from the beat of the outside street, felt rejuvenated. “The machine is a great cure for nervousness and insomnia.” Dr. Edson told the reporter. “Theie is no barm in it. and although 1,000 volts pass through It It gives no perceptible shock.” V r •< i - V.

Hewlett, the millionaire widower of Syracuse, the other day when he was asked whether he intended to celebrate his next birth day after the manner of his last, says the New York World. “Do you know. I’ll never hear the last of that widow party.

A company of East St. Louis nim- rods, consisting of A. G. Schlueter, Levi Baugh. Sr.. Jeff Daniels and Harry Clem, returned recently from a hunting trip on Judge Robinson’s farm near Co lumbia, Mo., says the St. Louis Repub lic. Friends of the quartet enjoyed game for two meals as a result of their trip. Mr. Schlueter made the prize shot of the trip. He had just shot a rabbit when bis dog chased up four more bun nies. To keep from shooting the dog Schlueter had to side step about ten feet, and then be fired a single barrel at them. The shot struck the rabbits at such an angle that all four toppled over dead. Jeff Daniels was hunting i with Mr. Schlueter at the time and i vouched for the veracity of the story- I “It was the most remarkable shot I | ever witnessed." said Mr. Daniels. Miss Nettie Blackmore, Minneapolis, tells how any young woman may be per manently cured of monthly pains by taking Lydia E* Pinkham's Vegetable Compound* “Young Women:—I had frequent headaches of a severe nature, dark spots before my ej’es, and at my menstrual periods I suffered untold agony. A member of the lodge advised me to try Lydia E. Pinkliam’s Vegetable Compound, but I only scorned good advice and felt that my case was hopeless, but she kept at me until I bought a bottle and started taking it. I soon had the best reason in the world to change my opinion of the medicine, as each day my health improved, and finally 1 was entirely without pain at my menstruation periods. I am most grateful.”—JS'ettie Blackmore, 28 Central Ave., Minneapolis, Minn. Painful Periods i are quickly and permanently overcome by Lydia E. Pinkham , « Vegetable Compound. The above letter is only one of hundreds of thousands which prove this statement to he a fact. Menstruation is a severe strain on a woman’s vitality, — if it is painful something is wrong. Don’t take narcotics to deaden the pain, hut remove the cause — perhaps it is caused by irregularity or womb displace ments, or the development of a tumor. Whatever it is, Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is guaranteed to cure it. J If there is anything about your case about which you would like special advice, write freely to Mrs. Pinkham. She will treat your letter as strictly confidential. She can surely help you, for no person in America can speak from a wider experience in treating female ills. She has helped hundreds of thousands of women back to health. Her address is Lynn. Mass., and her advice is free. You are very foolish if you do xut accept her kind invitation. Details of Another Case. “Dear Mrs. Pinkham: — Ignorance and carelessness is the cause of most of the suffer ings of women. I believe that if we properly understood the laws of health we would all be well, but if the sick women only knew the truth about Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, they would lie saved much suffer ing and would soon be cured. “ I used it for five months for a local diffi culty which had troubled me for years, and for which I had spent hundreds of dollars in the vain endeavor to rec tify. My life forces were being sapped, ind I was daily losing my vitality. “ Lydia E. Pinkliam’s Vegetable Compound cured me completely, and I am now enjoying the best of health, and am most grateful, and only too pleased to endorse such a great remedy.”—Miss Jennie L.
