A GOOD THING For Women to Remember That in addressing Mrs. Pinkham they are communicating with a wonuin a wo man whose experience in treating woman ' , ills is ereater than that of any living physi- i! cian male or female. A woman can talk freery to a woman when it is revolting to relate her private troubles to a man besides, a man does not understand simplv because he is a man. Many women suffer in silence end drift along from bad to worse, knowing full well that they should have immediate tssist ance, bnt a natural modesty impels them to shrink from exposing themselves to the questions and probable examinations of even their family physician. It is unnec essary. Without money or price you can consult a woman, whose knowledge from actual experience is greater than any local physician living. The following invitation is freely offered; accept it in the same spirit: Women suffering from any form of fe male weakness are invited to freely com municate with Mrs Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are received, opened, read and answered by women only, thus has been established the eternal contidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken and has induced more than 100,000 sufferers to write her for advice during the last four mouths. Out of the vast volume of exper ience which she has to draw from, it is more than possible that she has gained the very knowledge that will help your case. She asks nothing in return except your good-will, and her advice has relieved thousands. Surely, any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish if she does not take ad vantage of this generous offer of assistance. Lydia 1. Pinkham Medicine Co., Lynn, Mass.. . ....... .... .

LETTER TO HIS COLLEAGUES HI Parted of Service Longer Than Thai of Any Former Chief Justice A Sue oeaaor Baa Not Yet Been Named. "Washington, Oct. 18. Associate Jus tice Stephen J. Field today formally retired from the supreme court of the United States, after 84 years of service in that tribunal. The correspondence between Justice Field and the president whioh was made public today, shows that his resignation. . was tendered in April last. J President McKinley, how ever, did not respond until October 9. While Justice Field's resignation does not take effect until December 1, he will not again sit on the supreme court. ; - " ... ' " His colleagues of the supreme "oourt today called upon him and expressed regret at his retirement and extended their congratulations upon his long eervioe as assooiate justice the longest on record. :. ' ' The following letter was given out this afternoon: .' , "Washington, Oct. 16. Dear Mr. Chief Justice and Brethren Near the close of the last term, feeling that the duties of my long office had become too arduous for my strength. I transmitted my resignation to the president to take effect on the first day of December next, and this he has accepted with kindly expressions of regard. My ju dicial experience ooveVs many years of Bervioe. Having been elected a mem ber of the supreme court of California, 1 assumed that office October 18, 1857, holding it for five years, seven months and five days, the latter part of the time beina chief justice. On the 10th of March, 1863, I was commissioned by President Lincoln justice of the supreme court of the United States, taking the oath of offloe on the 10th day of. the following May. . . "When my resignation takes effeot my period of service on this bench will have exceeded that of any of my prede cessors, while my entire judicial life will have embraced more than 40 years I may be pardoned for saying that dur ing all this period, long in companion with the brevity of human life, though in retrospect it has gone with the swift ness of a tale that is tol '. I have not shunned to deolare in every case com ing before me for decision conclusions which mv deliberate oonviotions exer cise of suoh abilities and requirements as I possessed. ''It is a pleasant thing in my memory that my appointment came from Presi dent Lincoln, of whose appointees 1 am the last survivor. Up to -that time, there had been no representative here from the Paoific coast. A new empire had risen in the West, whose laws were those of another country. The land titles were from Spanish and Mexican grants, both of which were often over laid bv the claims of first settlers. To bring order out of this confusion, oon cress nassed an act providing for an other seat on this bench, with the in tention that it should be filled by some one familiar with these conflicting titles and with the mining laws of the coast, and it so happened that, as I had framed the principal of these laws, and was, moreover, chief justice of Cantor nia. it was the wisbiiif senators and representatives of this state, as well as those from Oregon, that I should sue ceed to the new position. "Few appreciate the magnitude of our labors. . The burden resting upon us for the last 15 or 20 years has been enormous. The volumes of our reports show that I alone have written 620 opinions. If to these are added 57 opin ons in the cirouit court' and 865 pre pared while I was on the supreme oourt of. California, it will be seen I have voiced the decision in 1,043 cases. It may be said that all of our decisions have not met with the universal ap proval of the American people, yet it is to the great glory of : that people that always and everywhere has teen yielded a willing obedience to them. That fact is eloquent of the stability of popular institutions, and demonstrates that the people of the United States are capable of self-government. "As I look back over the more than a third of a oentury that I have sat on this benoh, I am more and more im pressed with the immeasurable import ance of this court. Now and then we hear it spoken of as an aristocratic fea ture of a republican government. But it is the most democratic of all. Sen ators represent their states, and repre sentatives their constituencies, but. this court stands for the whole country, nha as such, it is truly of the people, by tiie people, and for the people. "It has indeed no power to legislate, It cannot appropriate a dollar of money, It carries neither the purse nor the word. But it does possess the power of declaring the law, and in that founded the safeguard which keeps the whole mighty fabric of government from rushing to destruction. This negative power, the power of resist ance, is the only safety, of a popular government, and it is an additional as surance when the power, is in suoh hands as youTB. ' . . ; "With this I give place to my suc cessor, but I can never cease to linger in memories of the past. Though we have often differed in our opinions, it has always been an honest difference, whioh did not affect our mutual re gard and respect. '' These many 1 years have indeed been years of labor and of toil, but they have brought their own rewards, and we can all join in thanks giving to the author of our being thai we have been permitted to spend sc muoh of our lives in the lervioe of our onntry.

'-- - .Unique Honor to a Woman. The only woman who ever received the freedom of a Scotch city is Miss Jessie McEie, of Dumfries, : who re ceived this honor in company with Mr, Balfour, first lord Of the treasury, from the mayor of her town. This signal distinction has been bestowed on her as a mark of the respect and gratitude of her fellow citizens for her efforts to- improve and beautify the town of Dum fries. As there are only two other lady burgesses in the United Kingdom ) the inhabitants of Dumfries could hardly have ohosen a more flattering method of conveying their appreciation of Miss MoKie s generosity; .Miss Lettice Ilbet, who has this year obtained a first-class in the Ox ford final-honors school of modern his tory, is a daughter of Sir Courtenay Ilbert, K. C. 8. I. The early years of Miss Ilbert's life were spent in India but on the return of Sir Courtenay Ibert to England to take up the post of assistant parliamentary counsel Miss Ilbert became a pupil at the Baker street High school. In 1893 Miss Ilbert passed the higher examination of the Oxford and Cambridge join board, and in the following year she went up to Somerville College, Oxford where she obtained the Margaret Evans prize. Not satisfied with her brilliant career at Oxford, Miss Ilbert has de cided not to rest on her laurels, and has just been elected to. studentship at the London School of Economic.
