SAVED BABY LYON'S LIFE.
.A-wlul Sight from thatDreadful Com
plaint , Infantile Eczema Mother
Praises Cuticura Remedies.
"Our baby had that dreadful com
plaint , Infantile Eczema , which afllict-
jed him for several months , commen
ting at the top of his head , and at last
'covering his whole body. His stiff or-
| lngs were untold and constant misery ,
.In fact , there was nothing we would
i not have done to have given him ro-
lief. We finally procured a full set of
'the Cuticura Remedies , and in about
4hree or four days he began to show
.a brighter spirit and really laughed ,
'for the first time in a year. In about
'ninety ' days he was fully recovered.
'Praise for the Cuticura Remedies has
ialways been our greatest pleasure , and
'there ' is nothing too good that we could
; say in their favor , for they certainly
aved our baby's life , for he was the
most awful sight I ever beheld prior
to the treatment of the Cuticura Reme

NERJOUS DEBILITY
iA Scranton Woman Tells How Dr. '
Williams' Pink Pills Made Her
Wed and Strong.
Nervous debility is the common name
for what the doctors term neurasthenia.
It is characterized by mental depression ,
4its of the "blaesJ1 or melancholy , loss
of energy and spirits. The patient's eyes
become dull , the pink fades from the
cheeks , the memory becomes defective so
that it is difficult to recall dates and
.names at will. Some of these symptoms
only may be present or all of them. The
remedy lies in toning up the nervous
isystem and there is 110 medicine better
iadapted for this purpose than Dr.
[ Williams' Pink Pills.
' Sirs. Jane J. Da vies , of No. 814 War-
tren street , Scrautou , Pa. , says : " Some
/years ago I became greatly reduced in |
[ health and strength and my nervous
system became so debilitated that I felt '
[ wretched. I could not rest or sleep well
iat night and woke tip as weary and
languid in the morning as I was when I
-went to bed. My head ached in the '
jmorning and often there was a pain in '
any right side which was worse when I
sat down. My nerves were on edge nil
the time , every little noise bothered mend
nd I was generally miserable. Then I
decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
for Pale People , as my husband had taken
'them ' with good results , and they did
wonders for me. Now I have no more
parn in my side , no more headaches , I
> sleep well and feel strong und able to
/do my work. "
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cured Mrs.
jDavics and they can do just as much
for other weak , pale , ailing men or
women who are slipping into a hopeless
decline. They strike straight at the root
f all .common diseases caused by poor
d impoverished blood.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all
druggists , or will be sent postpaid , on
receipt of price , 50 cents per box , six
Tboxes for $2.50 , by the Dr. Williams'

OJT Winthrop Governor.
In spite of her shortcomings and of
the revolutionary methods which have
produced anarchy on the island , Cuba
Is to be saved from herself. An Amer
ican provisional government has been
proclaimed 'by Secretary Taft to take
the place of that which ceased to exist
when the Cuban Congress failed to
choose successors to President Palma
and the Vice President , Meiidez Capote ,
both of whose resignatins. were tender
ed to the Congress. Previously the res
ignations of the members of the cabi
net had been accepted by President
Palma , so that Cuba found herself with
out a government
Secretary Taft thus became by proc
lamation the temporary provisional
bead of the Cuban government. The
unique feature of the temporary change
of government is that so far as possi
ble all public officials are retained , the
Cuban flag is kept flying over public
buildings and the government is being
administered in accordance with the
Cuban constitution. Formerly , inter
vention and protectorates meant the
substitution of the flag and laws of the
intervening power ; but in this case
there is no such substitution an object
lesson to the world of the disinterested
ness of the United States government.
Meantime American marines , who
are being strengthened by the addition
of 0,000 troops ordered to Cuba by
President Roosevelt , are maintaining
order on the island.
&
TROOPS LEAVING FORT SHERIDAN FOR CUBA.
Secretaries Taft and Bacon are now
working energetically to effect internal
reforms. They hope to have things in
such condition as to e able to leave
Cuba soon , feeling satisfied that after
the arrival of Gov. Beekman Wiuthrop
of Porto Rico the new provisional head
of Cuba , their services will no longer
be required. The first and most press
ing reform will be the revision of the
election laws. When the new elections
will be held has not -been determined.
* Want Annexation.
An important movement in connec
tion with the Cuban elections , no "mat
ter when they may be held , has started
among the foreign residents who have
considerable property interests on the
Island. They all want annexation or
permanent American occupation in the
form of a protectorate , and they be
lieve one proposition or the other can
secure votes of enough Cubans of property -
erty to enable them to carry out their
purpose if they can get it to a vote.
A league is forming to urge the pro
visional government to allow the sub
mission to the people at the next elec
tion of these three propositions : Shall
Cuba remain a purely native govern-
naent ; shall it be annexed tothe Unit
ed -States , or shall it have a government
under the protection of the United
States ?
It is said that all persons -with prop
erty interests -will rote for one of the
two last propositions and that they" will
be able to influence so many native
votes that one of them will be carried.
This , of course , means that all foreign
residents shall be allowed to vote on
the propositions , which they are now
prevented from doing by law.
Of course in this particular the pro
visional government will be guided by
the attitude of Washington and this attitude -
titude is still .unknown. Judging by the
time thnt must elapse before the Cuban
'elections are held , the American mili
tary occupation of the island will be
long continued , for of course the rnill-
'tary power of the United States must
be maintained until Cuba is again able
to look after her own affairs. The 0,000
troops ordered to Cuba -will , it Is ex
pected , be able to deal with the situa
tion , but If necessary , additional troops
will be sent The maintenance of peace
and order is the first consideration.
Progress of Electro-Therapeutics.
The sixteenth annual meeting of the
American Electro-Therapeutical Society
was held at Philadelphia with an attend
ance of over 100 physicians. The ad-
flresses showed that electricity is steadily
gaining ground as a means of curing dis
ease. Dr. F. B. Bishop of Washington
asserted that locomotor ataxia is curable
by electric treatment if taken in its early
stages , and greatly relieved in its later
stages.

DECREASE IN PENSION BILL ,
Death Tlilna Raiilcn of Civil "War Vet *
ernns Interesting Flsrnre * .
The net decrease in the pension roll oi
the United States for the fiscal year end
ing June 30 last amounted to $124,470 ,
the largest decrease in the history of the
country. These facts are brought out
in the annual report of Commissioner of
Pensions Warner , which has just been
completed. In the report the commis
sioner expresses the opinion that there
will \ " * a still more marked decrease dur
ing t int year.
' During - year there were added to
the roll 33,5 ( > 9 new pensioners and 1,405
restorations and renewals , making a total
addition of 34,974. The total number of
pensioners on the roll during the year
was 1,033,415. The number of pension
ers dropped from the roll during the year
was 47,444 , leaving the number of pensioners - '
sioners June 30 , 1900 , at 985,971.
The maximum number of pensioners
in the history of the bureau was reached
Jan. 31 , 1905 , when it was 1,004,196 ,
since which date there has been a steady
decrease , aggregating to June 30 , 1908 ,
18,225.
Death was the principal cause of the
decrease of the last year , the number of
names dropped on that account being
43,300. Of these 29,208 were those of
survivors of the Civil AVar , leaving OGG-
453 survivors of that war still on the
roll. There arc still four pensioners on
account of the Revolutionary War , one
a widow and three daughters ; GOO , all
widows , on account of the war with
Spain , and 11,472 on account of the Mex
ican War.
The commissioner calls attention to the
fact that , while tliere has been a mate
rial decrease in the number of pensioners ,
the annual value of the roll is nearly as
large as it was last year , arising from
the fact that the ratings of many invalid
pensions are constantly increasing.
Pennsylvania has the largest number
of pensioners 98,829. Ohio follows with
98,564 ; New York , 89,240.
More than 5,000 pensions are paid to
persons residing abroad. Of these 3,507
are in Canada , COS in Germany , and 495
in Ireland , the others being scattered.
During the year 23,628 claims were al
lowed under Order No. 78 , allowing old-
age pensions.
Since the beginning of the Civil War
there have been granted by special acts
of Congress 17,215 pensions , and an in
crease of pensions of which 10,417 are
now on the rolls , with an annual value
of $2,937,020. During the last session of
Congress 3,507 special acts were passed.
The report shows that in the entire
history of the country the total expendi
ture on account of pensions has been
$3,459,800,311 , of wiiicli only $96,445,444
had been paid prior to the beginning of
the Civil War. Of the total $3,259,195-
300 was on account of the Civil War.
The total payment of pensions on ac
count of the Spanish war reaches $15-
438,555 up to date.
The disbursements for navy pensions
during the year were $4,204,004 and the
income from the navy pension fund avail
able for the payment of pensions was
$303,018 , or less than 9 per cent of the
amount required for the payment of navy
pensions. Since 1670 this fund lias been
inadequate to pay navy pensions , and tlie
deficiency has been provided for out of
the public funds by congressional appro
priations.

have circulated petitions for conventions
to instruct legislators against the reelection

statement in Lis own defense. In tins he
snys the same kind of fight was made

HERE ore more
"get - rich - quick"
concerns in Chicago
cage than in any
other city in the
w o r 1 d. Despite
' the activity of the
police department
and the postoflice
aut liorities , which
has resulted in
the raiding and
exposure of 400
firms of fraudulent character during
the last two years , every oflice building
in the city contains companies which
arc operating in the hope that they will
be overlooked for a few weeks or
months so that the nets that they have
cast can bo hauled in full.
A walk down the hallways of the big
buildings , even those demanding high
rental , will reveal the presence of these
business leeches. The oilices are fur
nished in luxury and with an eye to J
dazzling tlie man from the smaller town
and the country who is lured there by
the huge promises made in the adver
tisements. There ore many stenogra
phers , clicking away busily. Men are ,
rushing to and fro from rooms marked )
"private" to the cashier's desk. The
telephones are ringing , and an occasion
al glimpse of the "president's office"
reveals a dignified gentleman sitting at
an expensive table and surrounded by
imposing books and correspondence. It
is a setting that works like a charm.
The tentacles of the great system
which has centered in this city for so
many years have swept out into the
farthermost regions of the West , n.ade
desolate homes , scattered hard earned '
savings , and dashed bright hopes. The
method is simple ; the bait alluring. t i
Most of the men in the well organ
ized companies that prey upon the
public are well educated. They have
the fever in their blood as thoroughly
as their victims. Ti.ey have been ,
known to bite on the hook cast out by
some of their disguised "pals. " If
they would turn their intellects and
energies to legitimate business they
would make respectable fortunes and
be safe. But the lure of the game is
as strong as that of the underworld
or the wanderlust. Persuasive , clever ,
picturesque writing forms the main
asset of the companies at the start. '
Literature is the first necessity and

The last year has overturned several
pinnacles of graft. Here is the way the
money has been dropped in Chicago
within a year : Matrimonial bureaus ,
$1,000,000 ; employment agencies , , ,
$200,000 ; turf commissioners , $7,500-
000 ; charity homes , $300,000 ; wildcat

associations , $0,000,000 ; bucketsbops ,
$5,000,000 ; wire tappers , $200,000 ;
book agencies , $1,000,000 ; mines and
oil wells , 88,000,000 ; medicine compa
nies'$500,000. A well-inforuicd official
says tlie American public drops annu
ally $130,000,000 in these "get-rich-

a fallacy in theological dogma. My
investigations for years past into the
innermost secrets of swindlers impel
the belief that their faith passes into
the domain of imbecility. Thousands
of men are willing to throw money to
the man who proclaims that for a few
pennies he will impart the secret of
raising the dead , or bow to make one
dollar make a million , or bow to bat- ,
tie the savants of science after a day's
research. Every mail car out of Chicago
cage groans under a burden of 'get-
ricb-quick' mail to be scattered in ev
ery direction. The operatives of these
schemes are the most dangerous of
criminals. They are received with
open arms in social and business cir
cles. They contribute to the churches
and their wives and daughters visit in
automobiles and dazzle at social func
tions by their silks and diamonds.
"Every time a 'get-rich-quick' bub
ble bursts there follows a long , dreary
story of misplaced confidence. But as
soon as active publicity ceases tlie
dearly bought lesson is forgotten and
the 'sucker' is ready to spring to the
next tempting bait. The victims are
numbered among all classes , from the
laundress to the lawyer , the merchant
to the clergyman. "
