«iN9K sight entirely too
infrequent. Too
often ihe baby is
puny and peevish
and the mother sickly fretful and nervous.
The woman who neglects to take proper care
of herself and who therefbre suffers from
weakness and disease of the organs of wo-
manhood cannot be healthy and amiable.
Her children will be puny and ailing and
happiness will pass by on the other side.
There is no reason why every woman should
not be the healthy happy mother of robust
and playful children if she will take the
proper care df herself. Proper care means
first of all proper medicine for her ailments.
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription will
make any woman strong and well in a wo-
manly way. It cures all weakness and dis-
ease of the distinctly >minine organism. It
prepared a woman for motherhood. It in-
sures the health of the baby. It makes
parturition easy and nearly painless. Over
90.000 women have testified to its virtues
in writing. Druggists sell it and have no
substitute "just as good.” The druggist
who tries to force something else upon you
is not an honest man. He is trifling with
your life and happiness for the sake of a
greater profit to himself.
Mrs. F. E. Forgey. of Carns. Keyapaha Co.
Neb. writes: " I write to you again concerning
my daughter Mrs. D. Billings. She has taken
two liottles of ' Favorite Prescription ’ and two
of ‘ Golden Medical Discovery.’ She thinks the
medicines did her a world of good. She was con-
fined the 15th of February. Was sick abont
three hours and now has a ten pound daughter.
She got along nicely afterward. She says she
never felt so well. She looks well and her com-
plexion is clear.”
The modem business world won’t stand
still or loiter to wait for the man who suffers
from headaches biliousness and dyspepsia
caused by constipation. Dr. Pierce’s Pleas-
ant Pellets cure constipation. Of druggists.

ADMIRAL BUNCE’S FLEET
Will Be Kept in Readiness to Deal
with Cuban Complications.
Thia Government Determined to Pro*
tect American Citlaena at All Kas-
arda—May Send Wanhlpa.
to Havana.
A New Y’ork Sun special from Wash-
ington says: There will be no reduction
of the strength of the North Atlantic
station as long as the Cuban question
remains prominent and every vessel
now attached to Admiral Bunce’s fleet
■will be retained in sea-vice and others
added as fast as ready for sea. This
policy has been determined upon al-
ready by the administration and is be-
lieved to be because of the large number
of Americans now under arrest in Cuba
and the intention of the administration
to afford them full protection. If the
fate of Dr. Ruiz befalls another Ameri-
can citizen it is believed that Secretary
Sherman will call for a fleet of war
ships for immediate service at Havana
to support whatever claim may be made
by the consul-general. The presence
of a war ship there would be in accord-
ance with the suggestion of Gen. Lee
to Mr. Olney last month and there are
strong indications that Mr. Sherman
in any event will ask that at least one
naval vessel be stationed in Cuban
waters. There is no question that if
another American is dealt harshly with
by the Spaniards a war vessel will soon
be on its Way to Havana
Senator Sherman spent over an hour
with the president the other day in
a discussion of the Cuban question and
particularly the cases of two Americans
now under arrest one of whom has sent
an urgent appeal here’for immediate
aid representing that he is liable at
any time to meet the fate that befell
Ruiz. Secretary Sherman it was stated
will communicate with Gen. Lee and
urge him to present to the Spanish
officials the firm protest of this gov-
ernn Ant against ill-treatment of Amer-
icank on the island whether their na-
tivity was questioned or not.
LONG HUNT FOR A LOST BOY.
Father Discovers Him at Last and
Crosses Ocean to Get Him.
A wealthy Englishman named A. J.
Secretan of London arrived in Ameri-
ca a few days ago in quest of his lost
bey nine years of age whom he had
been looking for in Eurdpe Canada and
America since last summer.
Mr. Sectetan had placed the child in
the. care of a govenrness at Toronto
Ont. while he was prosecuting his busi-
ness affairs in London. He and his wife
who was from Ohio had lived happily
together until as he alleged she be-
came a firm believer in Spiritualism.
Finally a divorce separated them. The
mother of the child kept a close watch
on the little fellow and one day suc-
ceeded in kidnaping him in Toronto
and getting him safely over the line
into the United Steffes.
The child was placed in the care of a
Mrs. Prior of New Y’ork who recently
brought him to Belvidere Pa. and gave
him in charge of Miss Bush of the Bel-
videre seminary. The boy was not even
allowed the freedom of the town. When
be took his daily exercise he was ac-
companied by. one of the young lady
teachers. He evidently chafed under
the severe discipline and remembering
ills father’s address in London got
some one to send a letter telling where
he was staying. The father was over-
joyed at the news and started for the
United States.
He came to Belvidere and employed
a lawyer to institute proceedings for
the recovery of the boy. The principal
of the school first refused to give the
child up but habeas corpus proceed-
ings were threatened and she surren-
dered the boy to his father upon the
payment of all claims. The child was
beside himself with joy when he saw
his father and they both wept as they
embraced each other. The father and
son will sail for England at once.
JOINS SALVATION ~ARMY.
Actre.. In EnKland Qnita the Stage
Forever.
Miss Ada Ward a young actress of
promise who on Saturday concluded a
fortnight’s engagement at the Princess
theater in Portsmouth England taking
the chief roles in “East Lynne” and “A
Forger’s Wife” has created a sensation
by joining the Salvation Army.
After the performance on Saturday
she called her company together and
announced a deterinination to quit the
stage forever from that moment. She
then divided her jewels and wardrobe
among them handing over rights in a
play by Mr. Hermann to the acting
manager of the theater.
Miss Ward attended meetings of the
army for some time and was converted
in January but she determined to ful-
fill the Portsmouth engagement and
there close her stage career.
The other night attired in full army
array she preached at local headquar-
ters to a crowded audience. She will
return to London and after a short rest
will attach herself to the headquarters
of the army.
Women Are Wanted.
A feature of the population statistics
in western Australia is the large pro-'
portion of males to females. The dis-
parity is maintained in the arrivals by
sea. At present there are 45 females to
everv 100 males.

New York and Connecticut Life Can’t
Do Bnnlneßi in Kanaan.
Webb McNoll stele superintendent
of insurance of Kansas addressed a let-
ter to the Connecticut Mutual Life and
the New York Life asfollowg:
“Your annual report for the year end-
ing December 31 1896 has been re-
ceived and in reply will say as to issu-
ing license for the ensuing year for
your company to do business in this
state that on evidence satisfactory to
this department I am satisfied that
your company has not dealt fairly with
Mrs. Sally E. Hillmon in refusing to
pay the death loss and in the litigation
of the same pertaining to her deceased
husband. Hence this department de-
fuses to issue to the Connecticut Mutual
Life Insurance company a license to do
business in. the state for the ensuing
year.” Similar notices were sent to
the head offices of the New York Mutual
Life Insurance company.
The Hamilton case in which Mrs.
Hillmon sued the insurance companies
to recover something like $50000 in
premiums held by her husband was
cne of the most celebrated and hardest
fought of recent years. Hillmon disap-
peared about seven years ago and his
wife claimed he had been drowned and
his body never recovered. The com-
panies refused to believe him dead and
w ould not pay the claim. Mrs. Hillmon
brought Suit and foun times the juries
failed to agree on a verdict. Last year
on the fifth trial of the case she was
awarded the full amount of the policy
with interest. The action of the state
superintendent of insurance will ab-
solutely prohibit the companies named
from doing business in Kansas. The
state law makes the superintendent
absolute in authority and there is no
appeal from his decisions the state su-
preme court having so decided.
THEIR IMPLEMENTS UNCHANGED
Goldbeaters'Tool and Cook.' Caps as
in Ancient Times.
In almost every kind of trade known
to man the years have brought mani-
fold changes in the way of tools im-
proved machinery advanced ideas as to
the manipulation of material and num-
berless aids from the fields of science
the workshop of the chemist the inven-
tor and the artist. But there is one
trade in which no advance has been
made and that is in the goldbeater's
trade. The same tools and the same
appliances are used now as in the days
when Solomon built his temple and the
are flourished in ancient times. When
Tj-re and Sidon ruled the seas when
Carthage disputed with Rome the su-
premacy of the world the goldbeaters
of those days worked with the same im-
plements as those used nowadays. It is
a very singular thing that in all this
endless change this rearranging and
shifting the goldbeaters’ trade should
still be conducted on its ancient basis
and stand primitive in relations to the
other trades and arts that have
progressed so steadily and imporiant-
CT. Another curious feature of the
trades is the badge of the cook’s cap.
It is the same cap nowadays as the cap
worn by the cooks who served up night-
ingales’ brains for Lucullus Vittillius
and the Roman epicures. The cooks of
the days of Shakespeare of Charle-
magne of all ancient time wore the
same shaped headgear —the inevitable
modern cap that the chef of a fashion-
able modern hotel wears. The times
change and people change with them
but in this labyrinthian moving and
changing it must be remembered that
there still exist two symbols sent down
through the ages as they were in the
beginning.
ENGLISH WOMEN SMOKERS.
Two London Lndle.’ Club. Take Ac-
tion nnd Exclude Them.
The London newspapers have fre-
quently poked their ponderous fun at
the habit of smoking alleged to be
prevalent among the ladies of the
United States and have raised their
voices in thankfulness that English
ladies were not like their American sis-
ters. All this is amusing in view of the
fact that two of the ladies’ clubs in
London the Writers' and the Pioneer
have pronounced against their mem-
bers smoking. The Writers’ club the
membership of which is exclusively
composed of women journalists or
authors taboos tobacco altogether.
Some of the members accustomed to
cigarette or cigar openly indulged
therein after remonstrance. Then a
meeting was held and a great majority
decreed that “any lady found smoking
must resign membership.” At the
Pioneers members may smoke under re-
tirement in a sort of crib into which
non-members are not allowed to pene-
trate and would soon quit if they got
there. There are other ladies’ clubs
where the cigarette is under no ban. In
the most select private circles cigarettes
for ladies appear simultaneously with
cixrars for mea.
Cubnr. Tobacco and Sncar.
The Cu’ /:> tobacco yield the pastyear
was but 75.000 bales as against 400-
000 bales the year before. The sugar
crop of the island has been reduced to
one-fourth of its former size and will
be still smaller the coming year.
Colorado Mixea and Manaractures.
The mines of Colorado have reached
an annual yield of upward of $39000-
000 in gold silver copper and lead. The
manufacturing interests of Denver
amounted last year to the sum of $48-
1 GC AW.
