bers of the special mission sent by
the sultan to pacify the Albanians,
it is now announced, are practically
imprisoned at I pel;, Albany, where
they are surrounded by several hun
dred Albanians, whose chiefs refuse
to accept the proposed reforms and
demand the appointment of an Al
banian governor, adding that other
wise they will continue the revolt.
The Austrian and Russian ambas
sadors are urging the sultan to adopt
energetic measures to suppress the Al
banians, but he is averse to coercion,
as he relies on the Albanians to help
him in the event of further complica
tions.
8AYS AMERICA IS WAY BEHIND,
British Socialist Scores industrial Ev
olutions in United States.
LONDON—In the course of a dis
cussion on railroad rates in the house
of commons Wednesday evening John
Burns, socialist, complained that the
Board of Trade has not given proper
attention to railroad improvements.
Ho admitted that there had been,
some improvements, but said there
was no reason why the board should
stand still. To say Great Britain was
away ahead of the United States was
no argument, and, in his opinion,
America, industrially, was "hell with
the lid off." He trusted England
never would follow the example of the
United States.

OUT OF THE PARK
PRESIDENT PREPARES TO RE
SUME HIS JOURNEY.
A SEASON OF MUCH ENJOYMENT
The CFiief Executive Sees and Stud
ies Birds and Beasts, Only Finding
One Species He Did Not Know Be
fore Burroughs Showed It.
CINNABAR. Mont. — President
Roosevelt’s vacation is at an end. He
greeted the members of htn party
and a large number of people at the
Mammoth Springs hotel in Yellow
stone park Thursday and Friday will
resume his tour.
Word had gone forth several days
ago that he would meet the people in
the park, and when he arrived at the
Mammoth Hot Springs hotel, where
the reception was held, he found a
couple of hundred men and women
there to greet him. The president ad
dressed them briefly, speaking of the
good time he had had during the past
two weeks, and then shook hands with
each one. He spent the rest of the
day in inspecting the post and riding
horseback with Major Pitcher.
The president spent most of his time
in studying the habits of the different
species of game. He lay for hours
near a herd of elk or mountain goats
and frequently walked eight or ten
miles to observe them. He also stud
ied bird life with Mr. Burroughs and
showed himself particularly well post
ed on, the subject. Mr. Burroughs was
able to show him but one bird with
which he was not acquainted, namely,
the solitaire.
The president's ramp equipment was
composed of two Sibley tents and an
other tent, with board floors, and while
everything was simple it was quite
comfortable. The party accompany
ing him was a small one, consisting
of Major Pitcher, Mr. Burroughs, a
couple of orderlies and two cooks.
There was also a small force of men to
man the pack wagon.
An amusing incident occurred dur
ing the visit to Geyserland. The
president and Mr. Burroughs were on
skis racing down the hill. The snow
was soft and Mr. Burroughs, who had
never used a ski, soon found himself
with his head in the snow and his feet
in the air. He had hardly struggled
to his feet when the president repeat
ed the performance. Neither one was
hurt, but Major Pitcher secured ex
cellent photographs of the catastro
phe. which he has promised to have
developed.
While no accident occurred, the
president had a number of narrow es
capes. One day he fired a new revol
ver at a tree. The weapon was de
fective and the empty shell flew back
and struck him on the cheek, drawing
blood. If it had struck a little higher
it would have injured if not blinded
one eye. This was the only time the
president used a firearm during his
tour of the park.
Morgan Sails for Europe.
NEW YORK—J. P. Morgan and Miss
Morgan, Andrew Carnegie and Mrs.

Proceed with the Hearing.
NEW YORK—The interstate com
merce commission on Thursday contin
ued the investigation into the com
plaint against the anthracite coal car
rying railroads filed by William R.
Hearst just after the recent coal
strike. When the hearing opened
counsel for Mr. Hearst called for the
contracts between the Temple Iron
company and the Lehigh Valley, the
Lackawanna and the Reading rail
roads.
IS FOR HARMONY.
Plea for P^ce Between the Two
Countries.
NEW YORK—Baron Speck von
Sternberg was the guest of Edwanl
Uhl and Herman Rldder at the Man
hattan club Wednesday night. The
German minister, reply to the toast
of his health, said in part:
“No great nation can expect to es
cape the penalty of greatness, are
words which seem to be well adapt
ed to the present position of the Uni
ted States and Germany. Our mar
velous development during the last
decade has added new and heavier
responsibilities to those which we al
ready had. So far it has been wis
dom, moderation and forbearance
which have lightened our burdens and
permitted us undisturbed by friction
to reap the fruits of our efforts.
“In Venezuela and Samoa there was
some unpleasantness which threaten
ed to produce friction. But all fair
minded men seem to agree that it
was in no way due to any political
or commercial questions which were
menacing the welfare of either coun
try, but that it was due to misunder
standing.
“What I want to emphasize tonight
is that our two nations, in working
out their great problems, should use
all their power to foster a clearer
understanding between their people.
This is the surest safeguard against
future friction. You already under
stand 15,000,000 of us as well as you
understand yourselves; they have be
come your kin. I hope I he day will
come when you will understand ail
of us just as well.
“On the other hand, Germany has
had occasion to know you almost as
well, not merely on account of the mil
lions of its children who have lived
with you and fought with you. but be
cause the pick of the brains of
America has flocked to Germany’s cen
ters of learning and art for more than
half a century. These men and wo
men have made us familiar with the
high aims of the American citizen.
"Our future rivalry, be it ever so
keen, should never let us forget that
our work is directed towards the
same object—the perfection of civil
ization. If we keep this well in
mind, nothing will mar our peaceful
progress.”
IS BETTER THAN LAST YEAR.
Trade Responds Promptly to Better
Weather.
NEW YORK—R. G. Dun & Co.’s
Weekly Review of Trade says on Sat
urday :
Trade responded promptly to better
weather in many sections of the coun
try, notable activity appearing in sea
sonable lines of wearing apparel, yet
wholesalers report conservatism as
compared with earlier months this
year, although business is more active
thau it was a year ago. Some branch
es are still backward and there is
still more or less complaint regard
ing collections, while renewals are fre
quently asked. Outdoor work is vig
orously prosecuted, agricultural com
munities endeavoring to make up lost
time and structural undertakings call
for large quantities of lumber and
building materials, sustaining quota
tions.
Must Post Their Names.
Washington.—Postmaster General
Payne has sustained the action of First
Assistant Postmaster General Wynne
In ordering posting at rural free de
livery postofflces throughout the coun
try of names of residents on routes.
Loubet Leaves Algiers.
ALGIERS—President Loubet arriv
ed here Thursday. He at once went
on board the cruiser Jeanne D'Arc,
which soon sailed for Pliillippevjlle.
The real heroines of every dav are in our homes. Frequently, how
ever, it is a mistaken and useless heroism.
Women seem to listen to every call of duty except the supreme
one that tells them to guard their health. How much harder the daily
tasks become when some derangement of the female organs makes
every movement painful and keeps the nervous system unstrung?
Irritability takes the place of happiness and amiability: and weakness
and suffering Lakes the place of health and strength. As long as they
can drag themselves around, women continue to work and perform
their household duties. They have been led to believe that suffering
is necessary because they are women. What a mistake!
The me of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound will banish
pain and restore happiness. Don’t resort to strong stimulants or nar
cotics when this great strengthening, healing remedy for women is
always within reach.
FREE MEDICAL ADVICE TO WOMEN.
If there is anything in your case about which you would like
special advice, write freely to Mrs. Pinkham. No man will see
your letter. She can surely help you, for no person In America
has such a wide experience in treating female ills as she has had.
She has helped hundreds of thousands of women back to health.
Her address is Lynn, Mass., and her adviee is free. You are very
foolish if you do not accept her kind invitation.
For proof read the symptoms, suffering and cure
recited in the following letters:
“Dear Mrs. Pinkham: — I wish to express to you the great benefit I
have derived from your adviee and the use of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege
table Compound. Mv trouble was female weakness in its worst form and
I was in a very bad condition. I could not perform my household duties, my
back ached, I was extremely nervous, and I could not eat or sleep, and the
bearing-down pains were terrible. My husband spent hundreds of dollars
to get me well, and all the medicine that the doctors prescribed failed to do me
any good; I resorted to an operation which the physician said was necessary
to restore me to health, but 1 suffered more after it than I did before; I had
hemorrhages of the womb that nothing could seem to stop.
“ I noticed one of your advertisements and wrote you for advice, I re
ceived your reply and carefully followed all instructions. I immediately «
began to get stronger, and in two weeks was about the house. I took eight
bottles of Lydia E. Pinkliain’s Vegetable Compound and continued
following your advice, and to-day I am a well woman. Your remedies and
help are a Godsend to suffering women, and I cannot find words to thank
you for what you have done for me.”—Mrs. Lottie V. Naylor, 1328 N. J.
Ave., N.W., Washington, D. C.
“Dear Mbs. Pinkham: — T write to tell you what Lydia E. Pink
liam’s Vegetable Compound lias done for me.
“ I was suffering with falling of the womb and could hardly drag about,
but after taking five bottles of Lydia E.’Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound I was completely cured. 1 am now a well woman and able to do all
my work.
“I think your medicine ono of the best remedies in the world.”—Mk3.
J. M. Lee, 141 Lyndal St., Newcastle, Pa.
“Dear lias. Pinkham:—Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound has done a great deal for me. I Buffered so much from falling of the
womb and all the troubles connected with it. I doctored for years with
doctors’and other remedies but received only temporary relief. I
“ I began taking your medicine, and bad not taken it long before I was ,
feeling better. My husband said that I should keep right on taking it ns long JY*
as it gave me relief from my suffering, an I could not expect to be cured by ™
one or two bottles. I did so and am now able to be on my feet and work
hard all day, and go to bed and rest at night. Thanks to your Vegetable Com
pound I am certainly grateful for the relief it gave me. It is the mother’s
great friend. I would not be without it in my house, for when I feel tired
or out of sorts 1 take-a few doses and feel all right. ®
“I would recommend your medicine to all tired mothers, and especially
to those suffering as I was.” — Mrs. R. F. Chambers, Bennet, Neb.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by local applications as they cannot reach the dis
eased portion of the ear. There is only one Way
to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by ca
tarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case
of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be
cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars,
