MISS MARGARET TIERNEY
A larire proportion of the operation
' performed in our hospitals are upon
' women and gnrla for some organic
trouble.
i Why should this be the case f
.,' Because they hare neglected them
. Selves, its every one of these patients
, in the hospital beds had plenty of
warning in those dragging sensations,
pains at left or right of abdomen,
, backaches, nerrous exhaustion, in
flamtnation, ulceration,, displace
' me tits, and other organic weaknesses.
All of these symptoms are Indica
tions of an unhealthy condition of the
1 female system and if not heeded the
; penalty has to be paid by a dangerous
operation. When these symptoms
manifest themselves, do not drag
'; along until you are obliged to go to
the hospital and submit to an opera

NEW YORK, Jan. 22. American refugees
from Kingston. Jamaica, arrivjng here to

PVIedrlch, which sailed from the stricken
oily on Thursday afternoon last, the third
day after the earthquake, were unanimous
in condemning what they termed the "In

glish authorities on the Island during the
first days following the disaster. For three
days, they said, there Was no semblance of
order and nothing definite done In the
matter of relieving the suffering of many

Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
"When only eighteen year of age our
physician decided that an operation was

taken on .board the same steamer for an
asylum were put ashore the day following
the earthquake, Tuesday, and were left
on the railway wharf until cared for by
the American naval authorities on Thurs
day. The Print Eltel's passengers told of the
great relief the arrival of the American
squadron brought to the terror stricken
people and were amazed to hear of the
rupture which had occurred between Gov
ernor Swettenham and Admiral Davis.
Women Refused Shelter.
The protest of the American refugees
against the conduct and behavior of cer
tain officials on the island was voiced at
a mass meeting held on board the Prlnz
Kltel Friedrlch Monday, when resolutions
were adopted and addressed "To ths Gen
eral Public and the International press."
i'he resolutions follow:
We herewith utter emphatic condemna
tion of the conduct and behavior In that
period of certain officials of rank, spe
cifically. Captain Parsons, commander of
the British steamship Port Kingston, ly
ing in the harbor of Kingston, and aboard
which was (Sir Alfred Jones, his superior,
and other officials, basing our contentions
on the following counts:
First That Captain Parsons declined to
furnish food for one meal to the small
numlsr fit Germans, led by Captain Hlch
ard Vahsel, Hamburg-American line, who
prevented four docks from burning on the
night of the 14th, among them the Port
Kingston's own wharf.
Second That such American and other
refugees as the small boats manned by
Captain Vuhsel and others, gathered and
lodged Monday on board the Pprt King
stun, were summarily ordered ashoro sum
marily ordered ashore at 4 p. m. Tuesday
to make room for English refugees,
though women and children tearfully
f 'leaded that they had no food nr clotti
ng on shore.
Third That the wounded of mixed na
tionalities were taken ashore at the .same
hour and left In a crude situation on the
railway wharf until cared for by Ameri
can naval authorities on Thursday, ex
cept such as were removed by train to
Spanishtown, fr by relatives, who found

Fifth, that In the three days, though Sir

Ths Americans had to wait for the ar

during that time all of them slept on the

British Await the Report.
LONDON', Jan. 23.-The British govern-

! est reprobation of the attitude of Governor
Swettenham of Jamaica In bringing about
the withdrawal of the American warships
under the command of Rar Admiral Davis
from Kingston, ths chief interest now cen

to the British government's demand for an
explanation of hit coiduct, as this will

pudiating or condemning the governor's
action. This explanation tiad not been re
ceived during the early hours of the day,
although a dispatch was received here from
Swettenham setting forth the progress Of
the relief work without any mention of
the Incident which caused the Americans
to withdraw from the Island. This dis
patch was not dated, indicating that It was
sent before he received the government's
request for an explanation. Swettenham

THREE OTHER RESOLUTIONS REJECTED
Legality or Jastlee of Any Art of the
Presides Relative to the
ASTray Is Kot -
Hoard.
WASHINOTON. Jan. O. Ths senate to
day passed the compromise Foraker resolu
tion authorising the committee on military
affairs to investigate the faets of the af
fray at Brownsville, on the nights of
August IS and 14 last, without questioning
"the legality or Justice of any act of the
president In relation to or connected with
that affray." This action came after the
subject had been under consideration al
most dally since the first day of the pres
ent session of congress, and every phase
of the question had been discussed on tl
sides.
Before ths adoption of the resolution sev
eral submeasures were voted down. One
by Senator Mallory, declaring that the
president had authority for his course and
acted Justly, which was tabled by a voto
of 48 to 22. Another, by Senator McCumber,
simply providing for an Investigation with
out reference to the president In any man
ner, was fabled by a viva voce vote. A
third, by Senator Culberson, simply In
dorsing the president's action and providing
for no Investigation, was tabled by a roll'
call vote of 4 to 19.
There was no record vote on the resolu
tion adopted.
Senator Sutherland, occupied the first
three hours of the day's session delivering
his first, speech In the senate. It was In
behalf of the right of Reed Smoot of his
own state to n seat In the senate. The
Brownsville debate then followed, senstors
taking the opportunity to explain the vote
they should cast on the resolution.
Mallory Offers Snnstltnte.
Mr. Mallory offered a substitute for the
Foraker compromise Brownsville com
promise res3lutlon.
Mr. Foraker Immediately moved to lay
the substitute on the table but later with- J
drew his motion to permit senators to
speak. The resolution of Mr. Mallory pro
vides for an Investigation, after resolving
as follows:
That In the Judgement of the senate, tbe
recent action of the president In discharg
ing without honor enlisted men of com
panies B, C and D of the Twenty-fifth In
fantry is within the scope of his authority
and power and the proper exercise thereof.
Mr. Mallory said he could not support
the Foraker resolution because its language
as to the president's power was equivocal.
Senator Teller opposed the idea advanced
In a recent speech by Senator Lodge that
the president "Inherited" power from the
king. This was a new doctrine and the
Colorado senator said he could see how
it might become popular In some local
ities.
Senator Bacon of Georgia supported the
Mallory substitute. He characterised the
agreement among the republicans on ths
Foraker resolution as an" illustration of
their "extreme dexterity in forming meas
ures for which they can all vote, although
some of them are directly opposed In senti
ment, as in the matter to whleh that
resolution relates."
Mr. Foraker, replying to Mr. Bacon, re
viewed the history of the Brownsville con
troversy In the senate to show 'that the
question of the presldont's power had been
raised by trte message ths president had
sent to the senate on , December IT last.
Mr. Foraker maintained fro mthe beginning
that all he had contended for . was the
facts. Mr. Bacon said in reply that while
he was far from being an advocate of the
president, he yet. believed the language
proposed In the Foraker resolution was an
Injustice to the president.
Mr. Bacon wanted an opportunity to rote
directly on the question, whether ths pres
ident had the legal power to discharge ths
negro troops and not on the question of
tabling the resolution. He spoke of ths
affray at Brownsville as "an unspeakable
outrage."
A roll call was then taken on Mr. For
aker's motion to lay the Mallory substi
tute on the table. This motion prevailed
iZ to 23.
Messrs. McCumber, Warner and LaFoll
ette voted with the democrats and Messrs.
Teller and Tillman with the republicans.
Other Bnhstltntea Tabled.
Mr. McCumber, criticising the language
of the Foraker resolution offered a sub
stitute In which neither the legality or the
Justice of the president's action was
brought Into question. It was, he said,
simply an authorization for an Investiga
tion. Mr. Foraker at once moved to lay ths
substitute on the table. Before this vote
was taken Mr. Heyburn briefly explained
his opposition to any expression regarding
the president's authority.
Mr. McCumber'B substitute was then
tabled without a roll call.
Senatpr Culberson proposed a substi
tute which provided for no Investigation.
but simply resolved that the president
was authorized by law and Justified by the
facts In dismissing the negro soldiers. He
said the whole question was now in ths
hands of senators who opposed or denied
the authority pr right of the position of
the president. He read a telegram ha had
recently received from the chairman Of
the Brownsville citizen's' committee which
said no further facts were obtainable.
"Purdy exhausted all dues," It concluded.

Heart of the Tree
Is Cut into Small Blocks
This is the method pursued by a
prominent physician In his process of
obtaining what Is known to druggists
and doctprs as Concentrated oil of
pine. After the heart of the tree has
been sawed into small blocks the vi
tal Juices are extracted by hydraullo
pressure, and yield this wonderful
curative oil of which a great deal has
recently been written. It has proven
a most certain remedy for lumbagp
and urlo rheumatism. It also makes
a splendid salve to be applied ex
ternally by mixing It with lard or
vaseline. But for tbe quick cure of
roughs and colds It has no equal.
For this purpose one-half ounce of
the Concentrated oil of pine la mixed
with two ounces of glycerine and half
pint of god whiskey. Must be well
shaken and used In tablespoon doses
every four hours.
It shold be borne In mind that the
real Concentrated oil of pine oomes
put, tip In small half-eunce bottles,
each enclosed In a round screw-top
case and sealed. The case Is Intended
V protect the rontente from the at
mospheric changes. There are numer
ous preparations called oil of pine put
up in wooden boxes also sold in bulk
but owing to their Impurities usually
produce vomiting and kidney disor
ders. The "Concentrated Oil of Pine
Is found In the preecrlptVm depart
ment of every druggist.
Culberson substitute and a motion to lay
it on the table was carried 4 to 1.
A vote on ths Foraker resolution wis
then taken and without a roil call ins
resolution was declared adopted.
Mr. Foraker Immediately moved to send
the resolution to ths committee to audit
and control the contingent expenses of the
senate to secure authority for the ex
penditure of the Inquiry.
Mr. Kean, chairman of that committee.
Immediately announced he had been
authorised by that committee to make a
favorable report on the resolution and this
report was agreed to.
This action concludes the subject pre
liminary to the Investigation authorised.
PROCEEDINGS OF TUB
HOl'SE
Diplomatic and Military Academr
Appropriation Bills Passed.
WASHINOTON, Jsn. B The house to
day passed the diplomatic and consular
appropriation bill, which carries more than
$3,000,000, and military academy bill, which
carries fl,M6,483. 1
During consideration of the diplomatic
bill speeches were msde by Rcpresentattye
Sherley of Kentucky on "The Treaty Mak
ing Power," by Representative Slayden of
Texas, who urged a more liberal recogni
tion of the south In tbe matter of dip
lomatic appointments, snd by Representa
tive Longworth of Ohio, who spoke In
favor of the United States owning the
reeldenoes of Its foreign representatives.
In view of the controversy relating to
patents, on smokeless powder, which was
recently before the house while the fortifi
cations appropriation bill was under con
sideration. Representative Smith of Iowa
today Introduced a Joint resolution calling
on the secretary of commerce and labor to
Investigate and report to congress what
existing patents have been granted to of
ficers or employes of the government on
Inventions, discoveries or processes of man
ufacturing or production of articles used
by the government of the United States
and how and. to what extent such patents
enhance the cost of or .otherwise Interfere,
with fhe use by the government of articles
or processes so patented." .
Representative Cousins of Iowa, the new
chairman of the foreign affairs committee,
made the opening speech In explanation of
the dlplomatlo and consular appropriation
bill.
Mr. Cousins suid that the foreign affairs
committee "believes that all foreign posl
tlons of the United States should not be
commanded by millionaires." Therefore It
must be made possible for representative
oltlsens of the' middle class to represent
the United States. ' "That class of men
as a rule," remarked Mr. Cousins, "have
very moderate Incomes. It Is an ascer
tained fact that anyone dependent on the
salary provided for a minister of the
17,600 class must either draw upon a per
sonal Incomo or become a recluse and a
miserly Incumbent In the Important posi
tion which he nominally fills.
"We can afford to furnish millionaires,
but we cannot with respect to ourselves
affotd to furnish competent American, citi
zens to any foreign post without furnish
ing the means for their necessary ex
penses and their decent living and a fair
compensation fpr their time and service."
Representative Longworth of Qh'o, of
fered an amendment to the diplomatic and
consular appropriation bill In the house
today, appropriating f 500,000 for the ac
quisition of p upper sites and buildings
In foreign capitals to be used by the em
bassies and legations of the United Slates.
Although the amendment was ruled out
of order It gave Mr. Longworth an oppor
tunity to emphasize his position on the
subject.
"NV salary paid to any official of this
government should be so large," said Mr.
Longworth, "that the office should be
sought for the money to be made out of
It, and on the' contrary no salary should
be so small that men pf ability, learning
and patriotism should be deterred from
taking public office. The test of fitness
of any man to hold public office should be
his Intellectual . parts, not his financial
circumstances."
Mr. Mann of Illinois, who made the
point of order against the amendment, re
plied U Mr. Longworth, saying:
"Our ambassadors abroad probably have
no more expensive dutyto perform In the
way of living than ambassadors from
abroad here."
He paid a compliment to Secretary Cor
telyou, saying: "A few years sgo a young
man without money and without Influ
ence came over from New York aad went
Into one of the departments In a very
humble rapacity. He has been a cabinet
officer representing another department of
the government, and Is about to be cabinet
officer representing the chief department
of the government. He is leading the
simple life, and I often wish that some pt
the American representatives abroad
would show to the world that they could
lead the simple life."

Mast Pay Pare.
WASHINGTON. Jan. U Ths Interstate
Conimeroe commission In an opinion by
Commissioner Harland holds that men em
ployed by aewepapere to assort newspapers
on special trains may not lawfully be
granted transportation. The decision fol
lows: Where congress has expressly enumerated
special classes of parsons or things that
may be exempted and excepted from the
operation of general provisions In a law,
tills commission cannet enlarge the ex
cepted classes by mere construction.
Held, therefore, that the so-called "are
takers" of newspaper companies whose
duty It Is to assort newspapers on special
trains and to make them up Into packages
for delivery as the trains arrive at The
several points along the Hue of the run may
not lawfully be granted the 'free trans
portation that Is permissible under the act
to regulate commerce to the care takers
of certain other kinds of traffic specifically
enumerated In the act.
Newspaper employes cannot lawfully be

the limit, and the comptroller of ths city
of New York will not accept bonds from
companies which write any one risk for
more than a certain per cent of the capital
and surplus. In th west Iowa has had a
law for several years. The Iowa law prob
ably will be amended, as It makes the
limit 10 per cent of th capital stock, which
Is manifestly unjust to companies with
large surplus."
Deputy Insurance Commissioner Pierce
wrote as follows in his laat report:
The question baa been raised in connec
tion with surety companies as to the
amount of surety bond that should be car
ried by any one company. I believe It
would be a wise plan to limit the liability
a surety company may assume on sny one
risk. Several slates by statute have lim
ited such liability to one-tenth of the com
bined capital and surplus and I would
recommend the passage of a similar law
In this state.
The Time to Hay Farm Usd.
Many land investments have yielded 100
per cent during the past year. This has
been especially true of the cheap lands In
Nebraska, Kansas, the Dakota. Texas snd
Arkansas. Wheat lands, la many cases,
have paid the purchase price out of one crop.
Land has made a thousand fortunes where
mines have made one. The most glowing
prospectus of a mining company sounds
tame beside the actual profits reaped from
bountiful crops and Increasing land values.
And prices are still going up. Now is the
time to Invest. Look for bargains In th
