The Tr mite, honored of the Lord, is to have its part in this com- tinental capture, but we must have more than that, and more right away.

Thirteen thousand of these wore sant at the time of the outbreak of the rebellion, The cost of the war thus far is placed at 860,000,000 For the second year the cost is estimated at $75,000,000, Each soldier in Cuba costs the Government $500 annually. During the first veur 406 scidiers were killed and 3472 died from yellow fever. The Havana correspondent of the London Pall Mall Gazette says that Captain-General Weyler will no more suppress the rebellion than did General Martinez Campos. The United States, he adds, should, on the score of humanity and her general political and findnoial interests, insist on autonomy for the Cubans, Arbitration for a Suit, In the libel suit brought by the Governor of Vermont nst the Ratliand Herald to recover £50,000 because of an article charg- ing the Governor with the responsibility for liquor selling in the Van Ness House at Bur- lington, owned and kept by Governor Wood. bury, a stipulation has been signed by both parties submitting the matter for arbitration to the Justioes of the Supreme Court, Horseless Carriages Making Headway, Horseless carriages are gaining headway m Paris.

She is glad to have yon write or cali upon her. Yon will find her a woman full of sympathy, with a great desire to assist those who are sick. If her medi- cine is not what you need, she will frankly tell you so, and there are nine chances out of ten that she will tell you exactly what to do for relief. She asks nothing in return except your good will, and her advice has relieved thousands, Surely, any ailing woman, rich or poor, is very foolish if she does not take advantage of this generous offer of assistance, Never in the history of medicine has the demand for one particular remedy for female diseases equalled that at- tained by Lydia E.
