THERE WAS NO DANGER :
:
Officials Contend That St. Louis
Was Slow; but That Was All.
!
New York, Jan. 20. While regiet-j
ting the delay of the St Louis, officials
of the American line In London con-'
tend there was absolutely no danger
whatever, occording to a London dis- '
patch to the Tribune. One of the com- ,
pany's representatives has stated that ;
the boilers were in perfect condition
when the St Louis left Cherbourg and
there was no reascfti to suspect that
anything would go wrong with the rr.a- f
chinery on the voyage. 1
Commenting on the published state-
ment that some of the passenges con-
template bringing actions against the
company on the ground that the St
Louis was advertised as the fastest '
vessel of the American line, an official :
declared that the suggestion was al
together absurd. In the first place, he.
said, the company had never issued ,
such' an announcement; in 'he second
place.the steamship company wasunder :
no guarantee to disembark passengers
in a limited number of days. News-.
papers here which refer to the matter
editorially consider that, in view of all
the circumstances of the case, the :
American line will be wise to Investi-
gate the charges which have been
made as to the conditon of the Sf. Louis
before leaving Southampton.
PERSONAL EFFECTS OF
FAIRS HAVE BEEN PILLAGED.
Valuable Sable Coat Replaced With
Imitation and Necklace of Pearls
Has Been Tampered With.
San Francisco, Jan. 20. A sensation- i
al discovery was made, says the Call, I
when the personal effects of the late j
Mr. and Mrs. Charles L. Fair arrived,
from Paris a few days ago. j
The magnlf! cent Russian sable coat,
valued at $10,000, which Mrs. Fair be- j
queathed in her will to Mrs. Joe Har-j
vey, was gone, and a cheap imitation
affair, not worth $30, had been sub-!
stltuted in its place. Mrs. Fair's fa-'
mous pearl necklace, valued at $15,000, '
had been tampered with, and Instead of i
real pearls In the necklace, cheap imi-!
tatlon gems had been set in their I
places. Numerous articles of Jewelry
which the Fairs were known to have'
taken to Europe were missing and
their only effects which were returned !

"If every uHerin? woman

your medicine will be most

I began to have a worn out
tired feeling with laahude,
pains la the back and head
which kept increasing every
month. I felt that I needed
something, but to get the
right medicine was the trou
ble. I finally decided on
your Vine of Cardui and only needed to
take three bottles when I was fully re
covered.' HEN Miss Rose Owens, who
1
has a responsible nosition in
the Government service at
Washington. D. C. decided to
try Wine of Caruui, she made a wise
choice. Over a million women have
been relieved of female weakness by this
same Wine of Cardui. It is not a
strong medicine but may be taken every
day in the year by any woman with
benefit. It does not force results, but
corrects derangement of the menstrual
organs. It strengthens the nervous
system, gives tone to the bodily func
tions, acts directly on the genital
organs, and is the finest tonio for wo
men known to the science of medicine.

UP FOR TREASON.
New Tork, Jan. 20. The trial of Col
onel Lynch for treason, which will be
gin tomorrow, promises to turn on the
question of whether, he was a Trans
vaal burgher or a British subject when
he took up arms for the Boers, says
a dispatch from London to the Trib
une. British law is now more merciful
than In the days of Jacobite riots
when conspirators having French com
missions were unceremoniously hanged.

Connell, the pugilist, who was knocked

critical condition. He was IHieved to
be out of danger, but has suffered a
relapse and now there is little hope for
his recovery.
WASHINGTON, D. C.
If you are a suffering wo
man we would say to you
that Wine of Cardui seldom
fails to completely cure any
case of female ilia. We say
emphatically, it never fails
to benefit. Every day hun
dreds of sufferers are writing
to our Ladies' Advisory De
partment. The letters are
opened by persons compe
tent to give advice. Mrs.
Jones wag cored bv follow
ing the advice which was freely given
her by the Ladies' Advisory Depart
ment. Miss Owens was cured without
advice by just buying a f 1.00 bottle of
Wine of Cardui from her druggist and
taking this great medicine in the pri
vacy of her home. No doctor's ex
amination, treatment or advice is nec
essary. You have read what these two
cured women have written. Is this not
enough to lead you to determine to be
rid of suffering?
August 13, 1900, Mrs. W. H. Jones,
of Cameron, Mo., writes:
"I suffered tetsibly at monthly periods
for three years, J would sometimes go for
seven months with no flow at ail. Now
I have my health back again and am
expecting to be confined in January. I
cannot praise your medicine enough."
A million suffering women
have found relief in
Wine of Cardui.

CUT OUT UNIVERSITY.
Action of Trustees Was Distasteful to
Rich Testator.
Philadelphia, Jan. 20. John B. Stet
son, a wealthy manufacturer, has cut
from his will all orovlslon for the uni
versity at Deland, Fla., which bears
his name. This step followed the board
of trustees In exonerating the president
of the institution, Dr. John W. Forbes,
whose conduct has been undr Investi
gation. "I certainly shall not aid the uni
versity longer under Its present man
agement," Mr. Stetson Is quoted as
saying. "I changed my will hurriedly
as soon as the action of the trustees
was taken, for fear that I might dt
before the clauses providing for Jonn
B. Stetson university were cut out.
SCHEME TO DIVERT ATTENTION.
Bomb of Giant Powder Exploded With
Terriffic Force.
New York, Jan. 20. A bomb charged
with giant powder was exploded yes
terday in the part of the boiler house
of the Hackensack Water company at
West Hoboken, and so great was the
force of the explosion that two heavy
doors were blown down and the boilers
were shifted while the fireman end his
assistant were stunned and bruised.
Seventy-five tons of coal are stored In
the bins - of the company and It is
thought that the bomb was set off so
that attention could be diverted from
the men who were stealing coal.

BOSTON NEWSBOYS. '
A New Yorker went to Boston a short
tlma ago to 'apply his genius to the
task of increasing the circulation of a
Boston dally newspaper, which was re
cently acquired by one of the endless
chain New York publishers. The cir
culation manager has a new and Inter
esting experience to relate of his first
encounter with Boston trades unionism.
Spurred by kindly sentiment toward
the newsboy army that acted as Inter
mediary between his paper and the
great public, and also having some de
signs In securing the sentimental attach
ment of the aforesaid army, the man
ager decided to "do something," He
elected one of the best plays running
at a Boston theater, one he thought
the newsboys would appreciate, and

bought tickets for one performance.
These he gave to the leader of the host
that appeared dully at the counting
room of the paper and asked him to
distribute them among his fellows.
The boy accepted the tickets but soon
returned with solemn air.
"We don't want dese,'' he said.
"Why?" asked the manager.
"Why. de fellers can't go dere. Dat's
a nonunion t'catcr."
The 500 tickets were returned to the
box office and the New York mail Is
