We have from time to time through this column made mention of the fact that PeckvlUe capitalists were inter ested In prospecting for coal near Win chester, Va., where they had purchased some ten thousand acres of land that was supposed to be coal producing. Morton H. Harloe, a former resident of Winchester, who has been making his home here for several years past, early last spring spent several weeks prospecting near Winchester. The re sult of his labors were very promising. Later Messrs, W. S. Bloes, Frank Rice nnd several other Interested parties Journeyed to Winchester and proceeded to open up a drift. A nine-foot vein of coal was found. These gentlemen hur ried home and proceeded at once to organize a company nnd elect otHcers bo that they could at onco purchase the necebHary machinery and erect a breaker to prepit the coal for mar ket. On Thursday last a meeting of the stockholders was held at this place and It was decided that the company should bo known as tlie H. B. R. Coal and Iron company of Virginia.

Ex- cept to give temporary relief, thero was no appreciable change in my con dition. At last I was Induced to try a bottle of Pe-ru-na. and, after using two bottles of this medicine, I found myself more Improved than from all the other treatment I ever received." Miss Jennie Hawley, n well known contralto slngei, says: "I regard Pe-ru-na as Invaluable to singers and ac tresses."

The Strike at the Exeter Machlno Works Arrival of the Fresh Air Children A Blundering Verdict by a Coroner's Jury. Last Monday the employes of tho Exeter Machine company and foundry laid down their tools and walked out of the shop, for the reason that they had not received their pay on the Sat urday before and that no satisfactory explanation would be given them when they would receive It. In the after noon they held a meeting on the river bank between the two bridges and ap pointed a committee of two from each place lo wait upon Superintendent Thomas and Inform him that It was the sense of tho meeting that they wanted to receive their wages every two weeks and It that was not pos sible they would bo satisfied if they would receive their pay on or before the 10th of each month. Later In the afternoon they wero paid off for June nnd were assured that their request would be favorably considered. On theso conditions the men resumed work yesterday morning, but before noon word was conveyed to them that Superintendent Thomas had said he would pay when he pleased to do so, and, this being verified by a commit tee who called upon him, every man In both shops dropped their tools, picked up their dinner buckets ami walked out of tho buildings In a quiet and orderly manner and went to their homes. This evening one of tho bosses under Thomas notified the commit tee that the understanding between them for which they resumed In tho morning would be granted, and on the strength of this they will resumo. work again this morning. Tho company is nt present working the plant to Its full est capacity, having on hand many large orders for different knds of ma chinery. There was a large crowd at the Le high Valley depot yesterday afternoon on the arrival of the train from New York, as three coaches were attached to It filled with children from the me tropolis who will spend the next week In this city and on the West Side, likewise Avoca and Mooslc. In the crowd were those who had previously agreed to take the little tots under their care nnd on the arrival of tho train the committee, headed by Rev. J. J. McKIIpIn Fletcher had an Irk some task to perform in the proper disposal of the largo and Interesting family. There were all kinds of amusing scenes, as some of tho little travelers had slept nearly all the way, had never been In a railway coach be fore. In fact, had never seen grass fields before ond when suddenly awak ened and dropped down on the rail way platform looked about In wonder and surprise. Some began to cry for their mamas when thev found them selves surrounded by strange people In a strange place, while others took on a philosophical manner and looked upon the change of scene lu a con tent way. Perseverance and kindness works wonders and In half an hour the large crowd had dispersed and the lit tle excursionists wero on tholr way to their new homes chnperoned by the kind housewives who for tho next two weeks will no doubt impress upon their young lives the fact that this big world is composed of more than Is to be seen in the congested and filthy district of East Now York. Many of tho children were respectably attired, while others showed the most outward signs of poverty. But all this will be changed when their vacation ends, U3 every child will be returned to their homes newly clad and rozy cheeked and no doubt the experience will be re membered by them during the remain der of their lives. The verdict of the coroner's Jury which met according to law to ascer tain how the late Wlllet Pulver met his death stated that this unfortunate result was accompllshen at the hands of some one unknown to the Jury. How they could have rendered such a ver dlot has created the greatest surprise, as Charles Varguson, who did the shooting, gave himself up to an officer Immediately afterward and was com mitted to Jail, whore he now is. Tho complexion of that Jury, solicited by Deputy Coroner Evans, should suggest to Coroner McKee that men should bo placed upon the Jury who have tho necessary Intelligence to render a ver dict such ns the evidence would war innt. In tho nbovo case tho vordlct was an outrage upon law and Justice, as the prisoner ndmltted the shooting and his case will como down before the grand Jury In tho regular way. Mis. Anna Fox, aged 70 years, died yesterday afternoon nt the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Mary E. Wil son, on Parsonage street, ufter an Ill ness of several weeks. Besides the daughter triio Is survived by one son, William Fox, t Taylor. Joseph Mullen, tho night operator at the Telephono exchange, hns ten dered his resignation, to take effect Aug. 1 and will bo succeeded by Miss Florence Lelsenrlng, of the West Side. Joe will be missed from the "hello" stntlon, especially by tho reporters, to whom ho was always courteous. Tho will of tho late George Smith,, dated May, 1809, was oi'fered for pro bate yesterday and berueaths to his wife the building In which they re sided, together with tho furniture, etc., and $1,000 annually for her mainten ance. Tho rents and Income of the estate will go to tho executors, who will pay taxes, etc., and tho remain der to his daughter, Sarah J. Gllck. At tho death of his wife all tho estate is to go to the daughter. His wife and daughter, F. E. Shlffer and J. N. Anderson, uro named the executors, Tho estate Is valued at not less than 1 $110,000. ARE WIVES fl BLESSING ? The Masculine Point of View "A Good Wife Is Tiling IJiU ' n Good "God bless our wives. They Jill our hives With littlo tiros nnd honey. They soothe life's shocks, they mend our socks. But don't they spend tho money?" That's nn Old Country Jingle. But It represents tho masculine sentiment of all countries. Tho wife Is a great blcsslng,--but she's expensive. How ever helPi'ul she Is there's nlways that qualifying "but" when tho masculine mind dwells on money, and when doesn't It? There's no satisfying some people, especially when the pocket book is touched. That is what makes the main unhapplness of many a good wife. She works hard, she devotes herself to hus band nnd family. But when she wants a dollar she has to beg for It, and prob ably be asked "Why, Where's that dollar I pave you the other day?" Tho "other day" is weeks ago. It would serve the man right to let him find an empty table nt dinner time, and when he asked for dinner ask him: "Where's the dinner you had yesterday?" But the wife doesn't do that. She tries to "manage along." And this Is not so bad when It's only a question of a new gown or hat. But when it's a question of health, It is very different. It Is undoubtedly the case that many a woman lets little ailments grow to great diseases, sooner than ask her husband to pay a doctor's fee. The hus band Is not unkind at heart. If ho knew there was anything wrong he'd be the first to propose a doctor. But ho doesn't notu the slow change In his wife's nppearance and he doesn't feel the pains and aches which make the day's work drudgery. It is under circumstances such as theso that women appreciate tho offer of Dr. R. V. Pierce, of a consultation by letter, free. Dr. Pierce is not only a physician. He is a specialist In wom an's diseases. For more than thirty years as chief consulting physlclun to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Insti tute, at Buffalo, N. Y., he has made dls. eases peculiar to women an especial study. He has treated more than half a million of cases, anl ninety-eight out of everv hundred treated havo been positively cured. Thousands of cases have been reached by what so many have called "that God-send to women," Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Its efficacy in stopping debilitating and of fensive drains, curing ulceration, In flammation, and bearing down pains is testified to by thousands of grateful women, who have consulted Dr. Pierce as to their health and ailments. "It Is with heart-felt gratitude to you for your kind ndvice, that I must tell you what vour medicine has done for me," writes Mrs. A. F. Cren3haw, of Panasoffkee, Sumter Co., Fla. "After consulting you about my case I took your medicine nnd can say it cured me of female weakness. I was nil run down; suffered with sick headache, pains In the back nnd bearing down pains. I took two bottles of Doctor Plerco'a Favorite Prescription, and was then able to take care of my house. My health Is better than it has been for three years. I do not know how to thank you for the kind ndvice you gave so cheerfully." There's an advantage In this consult ntion by letter which the modesty of women Is quick to see nnd take ad vantage of. It does away with the Indelicate questionings, the offensive examinations nnd local treatments, of tho average physician. It's an entirely private consultation. The letter Is read as privately as It Is written. Its con tents are held as absolutely sacred. The answer Is sent In u perfeotly plain envelope bearing upon It no printing or advertising to show where It comes from. Every woman can write freely, frankly and fearlessly, knowing that she will receive friendly aB well aa medical advice from the most compe tent authority. Sometimes a natural doubt arises as to how Dr. R. V. Pierce can be so sure of succeeding whero others fall. But the fact Is easy to explain. Thero was a woman once celebrated for he "angels food." A friend went to her and begged tho recipe. It was given her with the most careful cautious ns to making and baking. The friend went home delighted. She started right off to mako a cake. She measured, sho weighed, sho mixed, she tasted. But tho cako came out of the oven a flat fail ure. Sho tried again. No better result. Then she said the woman had deceived her In the recipe. But the woman took the same recipe and made u cake that melted in the mouth. Now why couldn't the friend make that cake Just as well as the woman that gave the recipe? Because the woman couldn't give tho friend with the reclpo the skill and experience that went Into her suc cess. That explains Dr. tPlerce's success. The same sources of knowledge aro open to nny physician. But with the same facilities that Dr. Pierce has I they fall, because they lack the experl- p innr m enco nnd skill which counts for so much In Doctor Pierce's cures. ''About one year ago I wrote to Dr. Plcrde describing my disease," writes Mrs. Armlntle H, Newman, of Dug spur, Carrol Co,, Va. "I do not know what did nil me, my right side and bo tween my shoulders hurt me all the time; had no appetite, very little sleep, displacement or falling of fnternnl or gans and In fact I was all run down, not able even to cook a meal, and was nearly blind In ono eye and wan nfrnld I would bo entirely blind. I had been to three doctors but they did mo no good. I was determined to try onco more.and I wrote to Dr. R. V. Pierce. I received a speedy answer telling me what to take for my complaint and full direc tions how to take the medicines, I sent and got four bottles; two of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, two of 'Oolden Medical Dlscover.'y and nlso one vial of 'Pleasant Pellets.' I took them accord ing to directions, and, thanks to God and to Dr. Pierce, I took the medicine two months and got rid of all pains. I got strong nnd stout, so I could weave without any fatigue. Could walk four miles to singing class like a girl of six teen, and could sing with us strong a voice as the rest of them. I wove nearly one hundred yards of cloth in loss than five months from the time I commenced taking Dr. Pierce's medi cines." There Is no medicine to compare with "Favorite Prescription" In its wonder ful work for women. In young women It corrects the irregularities which are so fruitful of latter evils. It dries up the unhealthy and unpleasant drains to which so many women owe a life of misery. It heals Inflammation and ul ceration and cures female troubles, It gives vigor and elasticity to the organs peculiarly feminine. It makes mother hood a Joy by robbing Its preceding days of all anxiety, foreboding nnd discomfort; by making the baby's ad vent natural and therefore easy and al most painless, nnd by an ample lacteal provision by which the nursing mother has constant Joy. Advertisements are sometimes de signingly worded to induce women to enter Into correspondence, supposedly with a woman physician. Women are urged to write to a woman on tho plea of receiving a "woman's sympathy," and because "a woman best under stands women." There is no special feminine road to medical knowledge. If a woman understands disease, sho understands It not as a woman but as a physician. Mere sympathy wont re lieve pain or cure disease. The need Is of competent medical advice. As far as known there Is no qualified woman physician connected with 'any proprie tary medicine, and therefore no woman competent to give medical advice. It Is certain that no one else can offer as does Dr. R. V. Pierce the free benefit of thirty years of special study of wo man's diseases, supported by a record of more than half a million cases treated with ninety-eight per cent, of cures. Fancy a man switching a train from the safe track Just to make a dime out of the catastrophe! It's something in that same line when a dealer for the sake of a dime of extra profit, or per haps less, tries to switch a customer from the purchase of a medicine of rep utation and record, to a mere Imita tion or substitute. A "Just as good" preparation asluiowledges In that very phrase that It Is a mere shadow of success. Don't throw away the sub stance for a shadow. Insist on the real thing; and the right thing .Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. About the last place you'd look for common sense would bo In a medi cal work. For the most part these works ''darken counsel by words with out knowledge." It Is one of the crowning features of Dr. Pierce's Com mon Sense Medical Adviser, that It Is all that Its name implies. All that and vastly more, for the bare title of "Shakespeare's Plays" no more ex presses the wonder of tfliat master mind which like an ocean touched every shore, embraced all fields of knowledge and all realms of fancy, than the baro title of Dr, Pierce's great work ex presses the extent of the Information, the value of the knowledge contained In its 100S pages.
