By Associated Press.
New York, N. Y., Aug. 29.—Operations
which have. succeeded one another
through months of pain suffered by Mrs.
Arthur Paget, the well known society
leader, have proved in vain and another
most difficult one will be attempted next
week, cables the Rands London corre-
spondent. Mrs. Paget sustained a frac-
tured thigh and the bones failed to knit
sufficiently to support the weight of her
body.
The operation now to be performed is a
difficult and serious one and will, it is
expected, last three hours.
The side of the thigh will be cut open
and an incision made until the fractured
bones are encountered. These will then
be firmly screwed together with ivory and
in a few months’ time, it is hoped, the
fractures will be united strong enough to
bear the weight of the body.

Mrs. Pinkham’s Standing Invitation,
Women suffering from any form of
female weakness are invited to promptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass. All letters are received,
opened, read and answered by women
only. A woman can freely talk oi her
private illness to a woman; thus has
been established the eternal confidence
between Mrs. Pinkham and the women
of America which has novel’ been
broken Out of the vast volume of
experie nce which she has to draw from,
it is more than possible that she has
gained the very knowledge that will
help your case. She asks nothing in
return except your good-will, and her
advice has relieved thousands. Surely
any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish
if she docs not take advantage of this
genero ns offer of assistance.
If ycu are ill, don’t hesitate to get a
bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham’sVegetable
Compound at once, and write Mrs. Pink-

Mr. Fish' was agreable, and the second
wedding was performed in Albany, N. Y.,
by the Rev. Creighton R. Story, pastor

Woman Remaries Husband After Finding
Second Marrige Null.
Pittsfield, Mass., Aug. 29.—Mrs. Edith
R. Fish, recently divorced from Thomas
Fish and married in May to Walter
Briggs Johnson, has remarried her first-
husband. i

vorce from Thomas Fish of Rhode Island.
A decree nisi was granted, and Mrs. Fish
married Johnson in Chatham, N. Y.. in

upon which the fare is 3 cents, the fare

sion for itself from the national- govern-
ment. The concession in this case, was
signed originally for fifty years, at the
end of which period, ‘and by the sole fact
of this expiration,’ the city will obtain full
ownership of the tracks and system, in-
cluding all property occupying any portion,
of the public domain.
“There are abundant means of prevent-
ing deterioration of the property during
the last five years of the concessionary
company s exploitation, in consequence of
willful negligence. Provision is also made
for the acquisition upon reasonable terms
of all buildings, machinery and rolling
stock necessary for the exploitation of
the system, at the expiration of the fifty
years. In the meantime the company
must pay to the city an annual sum of
$19,300 until the annual receipts reach
$1,351,000, whereupon, in addition to this
payment the city will also receive 4 per
cent upon the excess of receipts over
$1,351,000 and up to $1,544,000. When the
receipts reach the last-named amount in
any one year, the city will be entitled to
an additional 1 per cent upon such excess,
until such excess reaches $193,000, and
thereafter lor every additional 1,000,000
francs (193,000)”'of annual receipts 1 per
cent will be adfffed to fhe city’s share..
“The harbor of Marseillesis likewise

of the most ifruportafiL sections to public
service co/eporation, which has charge of
the bonded warehouses. The concession
fcr the erection of these warehouses was
originally gi anted to the city, and by the
city assigned to the Compagnie des Docks
at Entrepots, which pays the municipality
an annual rental of $19,300 for this priv-
ilege. This company is subject to close
supervision both as to services performed
and charges which jnay be made- for ser-
vices. Other portions of the city water
front are controlled by the chamber of
commerce, which has built docks and
warehouses of the most permanent char-
acter, and lets them for the benefit of the.
whole community.
“The. chamber of commerce is itself a
recognition branch of the public adminis-
tration, and is not a private corporation,
as is the case in America. In France
every man who pays a business tax or
“patente” is entitled to vote for members
of the chamber of commerce, and also to
transact business upon the floor of the
bourse. The chamber of commerce is a
legislative as well as an administrative
body, communicating officially with the
minister of commerce and through him
with parliament. It thus happens that
there is more real democracy in French
business circles than in the United States,
where seats in our commercial bodies are
bought and sold like any other articles of
value. The result of the system is that
the chamber of commerce is quickly re-
sponsive to the sentiment of the business
community, and the annual elections fre-
quently take place with as much excite-
njent as accompanies the ordinary mu-
nicipal and state elections. The business

A WARNING TO -MOTHERS.
Too much care cannot be used with
small children during the hot weather of
the summer months to guard against bow-
el troubles. As a jlile it js- only necessary
to give the child a dose of castor oil to
correct any disorder of the bowels. Do
not use any substitute, but give the old-
fashioned castor pjl, and- see that it is
fresh, as rancid oil nauseates and has a
tendency to gripe. If this does not check
the bowels give Chamberlain’s Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and then
a dose of castor oil. anfl the disease may
be checked in its incipiency and all dan-
ger avaoided. The castor oil and this
remedy should be procured at once and
kept ready for instant use as soon as the
first indication of any bowel trouble ap-r
This is the most successful treat-
ment known and may be relied upon with
implicit confidence even in case of cholera
infantum. For sale by all druggists.

Municipal ownership of public utilities
promises to work its way into the next na-
tional campaign as an important issue.
Mr. William Jennings Bryan and Mayor
Tom Johnson of Cleveland have declared
for it, and other prominent .Democrats
and some Republicans have declared
against it. The The Scotch expert, James
Dalrymple, came to the United States at
the invitation of Chicago and Cleveland,
to tell the public how the question has
been solved in the land of the kilties.
Now another Scotchman is on his way to
explain the problem further.-
Consul General Skinner at Marseilles
sends some interesting information con-
cerning the municipal ownership question
in France, which the bureau of manu-
factures, department of commerce and la^-
bor, publishes in the current copy of the
consular reports. Mr. Skinner says;
“Private ownership not only of pubil®
utilities, but of the aid above the earth
and the water beneath the surface thereof
is subject in France to restrictions which
do not obtain in America. In practice,
gas works and other public and semi-
public utilities are frequently operated and
owned by private corporations, but the
concessions under which they are operat-
ed usually limit this ownership, and re-
serve to the people at least a share in any
advantage resulting from improved meth-
ods and the increase of population. City
houses are limited as to height, and while
landed proprietors may do anything they
like with the surface which they own, the
hidden contents of the earth belong to the
nation, and can be mined only by first
obtaining a concession from the state. Be-
fore any such concession is granted .due
notiye is given to the public, and the
owner of the surface derives no particular
advantage from that fact in laying his
proposition for a concession, before the
national authorities.
“French railroads are constructed by
corporations, and are usually operated un-
der concessions given for a long term of
years, with a provision by which the state
reserves to itself the right to purchase
the lines ceded, and by which at the ex-*
piration of the concessionary period the
property reverts automatically to the state.
During the term of the concession, if the
private company owning the property fails
to earn reasonable interest upon the bonds,
the state makes up the deficiency.
“The city of Marseilles owns its water-
works and likewise a very important
canal connecting this city with the river
Durance. In addition to supplying the
community with water, the city supplies
the same for irrigating purposes to agri-
culturists whose property is within reach
of the before-mentioned canal. There are
also in the south of France, particularly,
innumerable irrigation canals, which are
usually the result of co-operation on the
part of the interested landowners. The
state has organized a government depart-
ment called the bureau of agricultural
ameliorations, which furnishes, upon the
request of interested localities, complete
plans for the proper construction of these ‘
canals, without charge; and the law pro-
vides that when a majority of the land-
owners within a given area have deter-
mined that the construction of an irriga-
tion canal is necessary the unwilling mi-
nority must participate in the expense of
construction or submit to expropriation.
If the numerical majority of landowners
control bu: a small fraction of the actual
surface to be irrigated they may be out-
voted by a minority whose landed inter-
ests are greater.
“The gas contract 'in the city of Mar-
seilles is now held by a private company,
and a new contract constitutes an im-
portant local issue. There appears to be
no general demand for immediate full
municipal ownership. The street railways
of Marseilles are all owned by the Com-
pagnie Generale Francaise de Tramways.
The service is excellent there are lines
in every direction. With the exception of
Dr. Joseph P. Arnold, who with his sis-
ters is - sojourning in San - Angelo, is
charmed with the picturesque western
part of the state. During the first few
days of their visit the hot wave was on
and the Galvestonians sighed for the Gulf
breeze. At present the wea'ther is delight-
ful.
