The following letter is only one of
many thousands which are on tile in
the Pinkhum office, and go to prove
beyond question that Lydia ]£. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound must be a
remedy of great merit, otherwise it 1
could not produce such marvelous re- '
suits among sick and ailing women. j
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—
' ‘ About nine months ago I was a great suf
ferer with womb trouble, whic| caused me
aevere pain extreme nervousness and fre
quent headaches, from which the doctor j
failed to relieve me. I tried Lydia K. Pink- j
ham’s Vegetable Compound, and within a
short time fe.lt better, and after taking five |
liottlesof it I was entirely cured. 1 therefore
heartily recommend your Compound as a :
splendid uterine tonic." It makes the monthly ;
periods regular and without pain ; and what :
a blessing it is to find such a remedy after so I
many doctors fail to help you. I am pleased I
to recommend it to all suffering women.”— 1

Who Owns the Railroads.
H. T. Newcomb, of the District of
Columbia bar, has compiled statistics
showing that 5.174,718 depositors in
savings banks of six Kasiern States
are directly interested in the Joint
ownership of $442,354,080 of steam
railroad securities, that insurance com
panies doing business in Massachu
setts hold $845,889,088 of steam rail
road stocks and bonds, and 74 eduen- I
tional institutions depend on $47,408,
327 invested in similar securities for a
portion of their Income. Other fidu
ciary institutions own enough railroad
securities to bring such holdings up to
more than a billion and a half dollars,
about one-sixth of the entire capital
invested in railroad property. These
investments represent the savings of
the masses, there being twenty million
holders qf life insurance policies in the
country, as many more of fire insur
ance policies, and an even greater
number of depositors in banking and
trust institutions, where investments
ure largely in railroad securities.

DID MISSIONARY LABOR
\Va< Scion of a Wealthy Belgian F«m
ily, and Deliberately Sacrificed
Hi* Life in Effort to Be of
U«e to Sufferers.
New York special: In a letter re
ceived In the city came the announce
ment that Brother Seraplon Van Koop,
member of a wealthy Helglap family,
who two years ago went to the Ha
waiian islands to take up the work be
gun by Father Damien In the leper
colony of Molokai, has himself fallen a
victim to the disease.
The letter came from the voting mis
sionary himself to the Hev. Father
John J. Dunn, head of the local bureau
for the propagation of the faith, the
Roman Catholic Missionary bureau. It
was originally sent to a close friend In
Belgium. Its text was as follows:
I have at Inst summoned sufficient
courage to write you a few words. For
the last six months I have lived through
days of such anxiety and melancholy
that I had not tiie courage to talk with
you. You will pardon me for not re
plying more promptly to your well
wishes for a happy New' Year. I felt
it necessary at last to break the si
lence and let you know of my condition.
You will kindly break the news to my
brothers and sisters, because I cannot
tell them myself.
Elbow Numb.
"A little while after your last letter
came 1 discovered that I had no feel
ing in my elbow. 1 remarked the fact
to the Rev. Father Maxinie, who com
manded me to go to our physician. Aft
er he had examined tne he declared the
want of feeling appeared to him to be
a symptom of leprosy, but to make sure
he took from my elbow some pieces of
flesh for microscopic examination.
After a few days he came to see me
and Informed me that very probably It
would prove to be a case of leprosy.
He did not care to decide definitely,
however, as all cases of the kind are
left to doctors in Honolulu, to whom
he suggested that I should go. Our
very reverend provincial had been stop
ping with us for a fortnight, and on his
return to Honolulu 1 accompanied him.
When we arrived there I was examined
by Doctor Herbert, who also took a
piece of flesh from my elbow, causing
me quite a little pain. The operation,
however brought no result.
"Two days later there was a similar
operation with similar uncertainty. The
following day I was examined by an
other doctor in the hospital, who
brought In consultation a member of the
board of health. This lime a small por
tion of skin was taken from a red
patch which had appeared on my cheek,
as well as a piece from my forehead.
In both of these cultures they found mi
crobes of leprosy. There is no doubt of
it. I am a leper. These experiments
were made on the 11th of the month.
That very night I left Honolulu to re
turn to Molokai, where I will be com
pelled to remain for the rest of my
days.
To Live in Hut.
“Vnu ni!J v ho cnro thio loot teln
was not exactly a very pleasant one.
Just as soon as 1 arrived at the Laz
aratto house my first care was to turn
over all my affairs of the .house to Fath
er Maxime, with whom 1 had lived up
to that time. I then took up my resi
dence in a little hut, where I must*live
alone. It is certainly a very great trial
for me, but I am sure that God will
not forsake me."
The letter concludes with a request
for prayers. Brother Serapion Van
Koop is 28 years old. In all likelihood
he will never live to see his thirty
first birthday.
Until the day of his death, ns he set
forth, he will live alone in a little hut
of the leper colony. He can have no
companions except those similarly af
flicted, and as there are natives or
Chinese, there will be nothing of com
panionship for him. Books he will have
and letters from home, but he may nev
er answer those letters except through
a third person. Occasionally he will see
a fellow human being, some courageous
missionary, who will come to take his
place, but the danger of infection is
so great that they will only speak at a
distance. Helplessness and lethargy
that accompany the disease will come
upon him after the end of the first
year. He will then be able only to
crawl about the hut. Death will be a
welcome relief to him.

HOW TWO BEAUTIFUL WOMEN ESCAPED

\ Mr*. Lizzie Keddintr. 3134 B Clifton PI a of, St.

J “I found after trying many different medicine*
to restore me to health, that Peruna was the only

“I began to have severe pains across my

Contracting in Japan.
San Francisco Chronicle: If a per
son desires to employ a Japanese, or a
thousand of them, he does not make
contracts with the individual men. but
with a Japanese contractor. This is
no new thing in California, for our
people were long accustomed to make
such contracts with Chinese bosses.
There is a difference, however: When
the contract was made with the Chi
nese boss the employer knew that the
work would be done precisely as speei
lled In the contract, which is usually
In writing. When we make a similar
contract with a Japanese boss we do
not know whether the work will be
done or not. If the men can do better
elsewhere It must be expected that the
contract will be repudiated and a strike
occur, so timed as to make acceptance
of the revised terms unavoidable ex
cept at great loss.
