Terrible Tortures and Dalh
Result from Acute and
Chronic Rheumatism
When Neglected
in Spring.

Rheumatism, terrible In Its tcute, and
long enduring In Its rbronic form. Is one
of the most baneful disrates that human
beings suffer from. It In a disease that
will not bear neglect, for if not treated
promptly will remain till death to harass,
torture, and make lire miserable.
Rheumatism Is also a constitutional dis
order and hereditary. Because of an In
active condition of the kidneys and bowels
the blood Is not purified, and an acrid
poison Is formed and deposited In the mus
cles and Joints, and this causes the In
flammation and Intense agonies that thou
sands are obliged to endure. Too often,
the effects of rheumatism are fatal, espe
cially when the dread disease affects the
heart; then death Is sudden. Many other
aerlous complications result from this ter
rible disease, such as pneumonia, pleurisy,
meningitis, and dlaphragmltls, and these
often prove rapidly fatal.
Racked and tortured reader, what are
you doing to get rid of your danger? Phy
Iclana candidly admit their Inability to
cure. The ordinary medicines of the day
may give you relief for a few hours or
days; they cannot banish the disease from
your blood, Joints, and muscles; they can
not take the swellings from your knees,
elbows, or wrists, or make supple the stif
fened and twisted limbs. You cannot
longer afford to experiment; death is the
ure result of experiment and neglect.
Today, your only hope lies in the Im
mediate us of ur. Phelps' wonderful rheu
matism baninhir Patne's Celery Com
pound. This tested and world-famed van
quisher of rheumatism, neuralgia, and
other troubles that arise from Impure and
poisoned blood, la now fully recognized by
the medical profession as a positive and
unfailing cure. The following Important
letter sent by Mrs. Cook Is but one of the
many thousands received from prominent
nd well known people In every state of the
Union, who have been cured by Patne's
Celery Compound. Mrs. Cook says:
"I was sorely afflicted with rheumatism
some time ago, so much so that I was un
able to go about the house; I bad to be
carried. I tried all kinds of medicines
nd liniments to no effect. For months I
was helpless, unable to turn myself In bed,
nd suffering with pain which was almost
unendurable. Finally, by chance, I no
ticed an advertisement of Palne"s Celery
Compound and concluded to try It. After
using- one bottle It seemed to be helping
me, and I continued to use It until I had
no more rheumatic pains. Since then I
have been able to do my housework, and
havs been free from rheumatism."

BERLIN.' April 4. The North German
Gaxette. the chief mouthpiece of the gov
ernment, today replied to the statements
contained In the dispatch of the Associated
Press yesterday announcing that the Society
for the' Protection of the Interests of the
German Chemical Industry declared that the
government did not consult the Imperial
health council before prohibiting the Im
port of meats treated with borsclc scid.
The Gasette reasserts that the health coun

October 2, 1901, for the boraclc process
unsnlmously, with the exception of one
vote, adding that all the medical experts
who participated voted for the prohibition.
Continuing Its defense of the statement
that the prohibition of the use of boraclc
acid In preserving meats had been approved
by, the Imperial health council, the min
istry has published in the North German
Gazette a statement In which It explains
that the health council consists of seventy
members who srs experts in the various
branches of science. They are not all
fitted to pass Judgment on food questions,
It Is explained, consequently the regulations
concerning the use of boraclc acid were
submitted to the food committee of the
council, whose Judgment In the matter
must be accepted as an authority equal to
that of the entire council.

i
The following Is the text of the conditions
under which the scholarships are obtain
able: My desire being that students who shall
be elected to scholarships shall not be
merelv bookworms, I direct that In the
tlietlon of a student to a scholarship Te
nant shall le had O) to his literary and
scholastic attainments; til) his fondness of
ami success In manly outdoor sports, such
as rh kct, foot ball and the like; (3) his
ciuallth s of munhood, truth, courage, de

and fellowship, and (4 his exhibition dur

ihpir latter attributes will be likely in
after life to guide him to the esteem and
performance of public duties as ins nignesi
aim.
As more suggestions for the guidance of
those who will have the choice of students
for scholarships I record that:
First. My Ideal qualified student would
combine these four qualifications In propor
tions of three-tenths for the first, two
tenths for the second, three-tenths for the
third and two-tentns for the fourth
qualification, so that according to my Ideaa
if the maximum number of marks for any
scholarship were 200 they would be appor
tioned as follows: Sixty to each of the
first and third qualifications and forty to
each of the second and fourth qualifica
tions.
Second. The marks for the several quali
fications would be awarded Independently,
as follows: Marks for the first Qualification
by examination; for the second and third
qual' icallons. respectively, by ballot by
fellow students of candidates, and for the
fourth qualification by the head master of
the candidate's school; and.
Third. The results of awards would be
sent as soon as possible for consideration
to the trustees or some person appointed
to receive that same, who would ascertain
by averaging the marks In blocks of
twentv marks each of all the candidates of
the best Ideal qualified student. No stu
dent shall be qualified or disqualified fur
election to scholarship on account of his
race or religious opinions.
Additional Stipulations.
The will further provides that the final
election to scholarship shall be by the
trustees after consultation with the minis
ter controlling education In each colony,
state or territory. The elected student
must take up his residence at some Oxford
college within six months after election,

Rhodes bequeaths to his old Oriel college
of Oxford the sum of 100.000, free of all
duty, of which 40,000 Is to go for the erec
tion of new college buildings and 10,000 to
be held as a repair fund.
W. T. Stead's Comments.
W. T. Stead wrote the following for the
Associated Press:
"The will of Cecil Rhodes Is In every re
spect worthy of Us author. With the ex
ception of some family estates In this
country, the whole of which are left to
his own relatives. Mr. Rhodes has di
rected his wealth la diamond and-, gold
mines to public uses. Its disposition Is
dictated by what was ever the dominating
principle of his life. '
"What of this will that Is of exceptional
Interest to Americans Is the fact that it
reveals for the first time, under his hand
and seal, that he was no mere British Im
perialist, but that he was essentially r
cltixen of the United states of the English-speaking
world. In other words, his
will proves how accurately I Interpreted
his sentiments when I declared, on the
strength of many Intimate and confidential
conversations, that he recognlxed as his
common fatherland the great English
speaking community, which includes the
British empire with its ample frontiers
within its lines.
"Mr. Rhodes' first will was made In Sep
tember, 1867, when he was a young man
of 24. At that time he was only begin
ning to amass wealth, which before he died
had made him a multl-mllllonalre, not in
dollars, but In pounds sterling. His last
will was dated July 1, 189. But the
two documents sre essentially alike In
sentiment. They both embody in express
terms what wsa ever the msster thought of
his master mind the necessity for promot
ing the reunion of tbs English-speaking
race. .
Remembers Alma Mater.
"Mr. Rhodes' will appoints a well known
group of seven of his friends as genersl
executors of bis estate. This group Is fur
ther charged to undertake the duty of act
lng as trustees for hs educational endow
ment fund, which will provoke the liveliest
discussion and excite the keenest Interest
throughout both tbs United States and the
British empire, for both communities share
in the benefit of Mr. Rhodes' bequest.
Mr. Rhodes was a graduate of Oxford
and a student at Oriel college, to which,
by the way, be has left a special bequest of
$500,000. He has made Oxford university.
In whose glories the Amerlcsn descend
ants of its founders share equally with
those who still Inhabit the old country,

be has left a sum, which may roughly be
capitalized as representing $10,000,000, for
the foundation of Anglo scholarships, ten
able at Oxford for three years.
Mr. Rhodes, It will be remembered, was
so Impressed with the value of a unlver
sity education that, after he had been com
polled to break his course at Oxford, by 111
health, which rendered It Impossible for
him to winter In Englsnd, be returued
every summer from South Africa, in order
to complete bis university career. To his
thinking, the university, better than any
other Institution, naturally affords a vivify
lug ctuter of race unity. It is free from
all politics! complications, and a reslden
tial university, with the old traditions of
Oxford, seemed to blm the best fitted for
the purpose be had in view.
"When I ditcussed with him the question
of the choice of the university which
should be selected as this race-renter, th
respective claims of Oxford and Cambridge
or homo American university, were freely
discussed.

"That Mr. Rhodes settled the question la
favor of Oxford, was due to his devotion
to bis did university, sod If these fellow
ships bad to be tenabls at any one center
it would be difficult to cavil at bis choice
Mr. Rhodes, therefore, bifvlug selected Ox
ford as his race renter, trom his lovs of
his old alma roster, has drau up a broad
outline of the general conditions upon whlc
tbe scholsrsbips should be awarded. The
teniral principle of his scheme Is that
very English-speaking colony and every
state and territory in the American union
should be offered a scholarship of ths valus
of 11.500 a year, tenabls for three years,

lleved It would be possible to maks Oxford

students from every pert of ths English
speaking world would meet, oa ceauuoo
ground, at the most famous of the old uni
versities. "What will result In the future presence
of Americans and colonials. In what has
so long been one of the most conservstlve
snd Anglican renters of Great Britain the
future must decide. The influx of so much
American and colonial blood miy have very
important consequences, at which some of
the old Oxonians would stand agbsst.
"Having derided thst esch stste or colonial
unit should have one scholarship allowed to
It every year. Mr. Rhodes' will proceeds
to define the terms upon which the scholar
ships should be allotted. Mr. Rhodes al
ways opposed the modern Id as of awarding
an educational prise solely for literary at
tainments. The tendency to award a schol
arship solely for success In passing literary
examinations seemed to him to put a pre
mium on bookworms. Hence, he has drawn
up a scheme for the election of students
for his scholarships, which Is extremely
original and very characteristic of the man.
It Is as follows:
Conditions of Scholarships.
" 'In the election of a student to a schol
arship regard should be had to:
" 'First His literary and scholastic at
tainments. " 'Second His fondness for or success In
manly, outdoor sports, such as cricket,
foot ball and the like.
" 'Third His qualities of manhood, such
ss truth, courage, devotion to duty, sym
pathy for and protection of the weak, kind
liness, unselfishness and fellowship.
" 'Fourth His exhibition during school
days of moral force of character and In
stincts to lead and take Interest In bis
schoolmates, for these letter attributes will
likely In sfter life guide him to esteem
the performance of public duties as his
highest aim.
" 'Marks for these qualifications should
be awarded somewhat In the following pro
portions: Four-tenths for the first, one
tenth for the second, three-tenths for the
third, and two-tenths for the fourth.
Marks for Qualifications.
" 'Marks for the several qualifications
shall be awarded Independently as follows,
thst Is to say, marks for the first qualifica
tion of examination, for the second and
third qualifications, respectively, by the
ballot of fellow students of the candidates,
and for the fourth qualification by the
head masters of the schools, and the re
sult of the awards, that Is to say, the
marks obtained by each candidate for each
uallficatlon, should be added together and
the successful student be the one who re-
elved the greatest number of marks, giv
ing blm the highest all-round qualifica
tion.'
"His object In laying down these con
ditions was to secure the best men for the
world's fight, to bring them together In
one center, and to secure for them the best
education obtainable. He has undoubtedly
ucceeded In changing what he calls the
dull monotony of modern competition.
laity of Aaglo Baees.
"Of Mr. Rhodes' political will and testa
ment It suffices to say that there stands
In Its forefront the promotion of the unity
of English-speaking races, and, although
It Is not laid down specifically In his will In
written statements In which he has ex
pressed his political Ideas, he has specific
ally set forth that the political question
to be found In a copy of the constitution
of the United States.
'What an awful thought it is,' he writes.
that if even now we could arrange with
the political members of the United States
assembly snd our House of Commons the
peace of the world would be secured for all
eternity. We could hold a federal parlia
ment five years In Washington and five In
London. The American has been taught
the lesson of home rule and of the sue-
ess of leaving the management of the local
pump to the parish beadle. He does not
burden bis house of commons with the re
sponsibility of cleaning the parish drains.
The present position of the English house
ridiculous. You might as well bsve ex
pected Napoleon to have found time to have
counted his dirty linen before he aent it
to the wssh, snd to have recounted It on
Its return.'
'I have said enough, however, to show
Mr. Rhodes' last political will and testa
ment la as remarkable as the career of
which It remains a worthy monument. At
east I hope the world will begin to ap
preciate the essential greatness of the
great man whom It has Just lost.

NEW YORK, April 4. R. O. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review tomorrow will esy:
Irfibor controversies continue to be the
only seriously disturbing events In the in
dustrial world, and while many disagree
ments hnve been promptly settled, others
have appeared to Interrupt production and
lrmke manufacturers conservative about
new undertakings. Retail distribution of
spring wearing apparel received a ihck
from the Inclement weather in many local
ities, yet merchandlfe of most staple lines
Is purchased freely and collections are sat
isfactory at nearly all points except the
south.
Supplies of Iron and steel do not seem In
any Immediate danger of overtaking the
demand. In fact the prospect of labor dls
turbimce on May 1 makes the situation
still more uncertain and those who hoped
for equilibrium in the market by July 1
are less sanguine. Midsummer seems to be
the dividing point as to quotations, prices
after July 1 averaging about $1 tier ton
less than the earlier deliveries, while thoe.
few fortunate sellers of spot inaierlil ion
tlnue to secure large premiums. Pittsburg
pig Iron Is definitely higher and large con
tracts are still under negotiation between
the hessemer producers and the leading
consumer. Coke continues to move a little
more freely, yet prices lire fully sustained.
In the market for textile products there
Is a distinctly firm tone. I,ahor trouble
and the high position of raw cotton are
both factors of strength, while mills have
orders that will occupy their full capacity
for some time. Altmmgn quotations are
nominally without change, the scarcity of
available supplies makes It a simple mat
ter to hold supplies. Kxport demand for
sheetings and drlllliiKS has Increased, but
makers Insist on higher prices than are
offered In many caes. It Is between
seasons for woolen giods and there Is the
usual qiilet, except where buyers are anx
iously looking for goods to replace deliv
eries Interrupted by the strike at Olney
vllle and vicinity. No Improvement is
recorded In conditions at footwear shops
in New Kngland, where only the larger
manufacturers are able to keep going.
Prices of shoes are unchanged, although
buyers are holding back fur better terms.
Leather has steadied under large purchases
of sole and belting, with the additional
support of heavy dress demands.
Widely divergent views as to the crop
outlook resulted In a dull market for the
cereals and only small changes In prices.
Wheat receipts for the week were but
2,074,699 bu., against 3,3f7,135 bu. last year,
while exports from all ports of the I'nlted
States amounted to 3,365,075 bu., compared
with 4.62,037 a year ago.
There was not the cstomary loss In re
ceipts of cornl,&xo.505 bu., comparing with
1,6U2,027 a year ago but Atlantic exports
were only 2tM,356 bj., against 3.04K.891.
It Is pot surprising that cotton Is so
firmly held, as Indicated ln the dispatches
from correspondents of R. Q. Dun & Co.
In the south. These reports Indicate small
stocks of old cotton and a' decrease of
acreage for the next crop, with smaller
sales of fertilizers and a backward season.
The cr.urse of commodity prices during
the month of March Indicates a seasonable
tendency downward. Dun's Index numbet,
giving the aggregate of quotations propor
tioned to consumption was M:122 on April
1, against Slil,59t a month ago. This de
cline of 2.3 per cent was mainly due to the
higher temperature, which accelerated the
output of garden and dairy products.
Failures in the United States this week
were 167, against 185 last year, and 22 in
Canada, against 29 last year.
BRADSTREET'S REVIEW OF TRADE.
1'nderlylna; Conditions Remain as
Good as Formerly Reported.
NEW YORK, April 4. Bradstreefs to
morrow will say:
The great underlying features of trade
and industry remains as favorable as here
tofore. Bradstreefs quarterly returns of
failures, bank clwirlngs and prices all
fioint to a heavy business having been done
n the first three months of the year at
fair profits, while most Indications as to
crop prospects favor a good summer and
fall business. Cooler weather and the
natural reaction from the before Easter
activity has quieted retail trade east and
west, while heavy rains and floods have In
terfered with demand and movement In the
south. Jobbing distribution is naturally
less active than earlier in the season, but
Is still of liberal volume. Practically unani
mously good reports come from the winter
wheat crop, which has improved Instead of
deteriorating from Its autumn promise.
Especially good reports come from the cen
tral west and the southwest. Oats are
coming up well and spring planting, though
backward, will shortly become general.
Wet, stormy weather In the eastern half
of the cotum belt has unquestionably In
terfered with farming operations. High
water In the Mississippi valley has checked
trade and the movement of cotton, in this
respect acting as a stimulus to the price of
that staple, which haB been favorably af
fected by the Improved outlook In the New
England mills, where Increases In wages
have been conceded at many points.
Special promise of activity Is held out
this year in the building trades, which are
active buyers of white and yellow pine,
hardwoods and hardware. A country-wide
activity In thlB latter trade is reported, the
only difficulty being the obtaining of sup
plies fast enough.
Price changes for the week are unim
portant, figuring most largely In the mat
ter of advances, partly because of light re
ceipts caused by bad weather and the con
tinued heavy exports. It has been a
weather market for wheat, with the ten
dency slightly downward on the generally
conceded improved crop reports. Outside
interest la small In this cereal, and In corn,
which is still reported the center of a spec
ulative contest.
Business failures in the United States for

A Denver, Colorado, Young Woman
recently Wrote a Letter to Mrs.
Pinkham, which Aptly Pictures the
Condition of a Great Many Young
Women. Read What She Says:
' riCAR Mrs. PlSKltAUt : This is the first opportunity I have found to
write nnrl thank you for the g"ood your Vegetable Compound has done tne.
I feel better than I have for years. It seems a 'seven days' wonder' to mv
friends. Where I used to be pitied, everything is the opposite now, and there,
is not a day but some one wants to know what I liaro done to make myself
look so well.
Before taking- Lydia K. Plnkham's Vegetable Compound I had
constant headaches, was constipated, bloated, eyes weak and wtery, bearing--down
pains, pains in the small of my back and rig-ht Bide ; took cold very
easily, which always caused intense pain in the ovaries, and I did not want
to go anywhere or see any one. 1 was called cross, but 1 could not help it,
feeling- as I did. I could not lift anything- or do any hard work without
suffering- for days afterwards. Menstruation lasted for right or ten days,
the first three or four days being almost constant pain day and night."
Nothing in this wide world has relieved o much female suffering
an has Lydia E. Pinkliain's Vegetable
Compound ; no medicine can produce
such positive proof of cures and givni
results; therefore, no other medicine
can be u just as good."
Office women are frequently afflicted
with sickness brought on by constant
work in one position. Perhaps in go
ing to the office, they get their feet wet
and sit all day long with
damp shoes and stock
ings. Nothing in the world
is so injurious. Wet feet,
hard work, and confined
positions have made in
valids of a great many
robust and ambitious
young women.
A Richmond Girl's Experience.
"Dear Mrs. Pi k ham : I have just purchased a bottle of Lydla It,
Plnkham's Vegetable Compound but am advised to write you be for
treating- myself.
"I hardly know how to express myself. At times I feel well, and in less
than ten minutes I am actually wretched with headache, that tired feeling-,
and so nervous that the sound of a door bell will make me start. I cannot
walk two blocks without feeling- fatigued. Menstruation has never been
regular, have a slight discharge of leucorrhoea. I would like your advice,
and aincerely hope I may find relief iu your medicine." Miss Claba, Pobts
wi, Richmond, Va, (Oct. 26, 1900.)
Statement No. a.
" Dicar Mrs. Pinkbam r It gives me great pleasure to thank you for the
benefit 1 received from your Vegetable Compound.
" When I wrote to you I could not go up-stairs or walk a hundred yards
without being completely fagged out, but to-day I can easily walk two miles.
I was also very nervous and suffered from a misery in my back but these
troubles are all a thing of the pnst. 1 was at a loss to describe my feelings,
but now thanks to your Vegetable Compound I am a well womnn.
" I advise all suffering women to write to Mrs. Pinkham, and I shall never
fail to recommend your remedies to my friends." Miss Clara Portkwio,
Richmond, Va. (March 26, 1901.)
Miss Thompson's Pains are Cured.
. " Dk AR Mrs. Piitkr am : I want to tell you what Lydla E. Plnkham's
Vegetable. Compound has done for me. For several years 1 had. suffered
with loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, constipation, palpitation of the heart,
headache, pains in yearly all parts of the body. My physician said it was '
only indigestion, but his medicine did not help me any. I began the use of
your Vegetable Compound. I have taken four bottles and now those trouble!
are cured. I cannot praise it enough." Miss Belle S. Thompson, Box 14,
