Iter. J. J. K. Fletcher, of 1'lttston, riivu a very Interesting nnd Instruct ive tnlk to n, small but appreciative nuilluiu'i: lu the Washburn Sheet I'n-3-byteilau church last fvoriln.t cm INj "Hoer-Hiltlsh War from the Stand point of Christianity." The speaker Hpont many yeais In South Africa as a missionary and Is thoroughly familiar with the country and Its people. The subject, he said, Is 11 very Important one nnd should ho thoroughly under stood, as to whether or not It will tend to the benefit of Christianity. He related the history of the trouble in South Africa nnd stated that U really started at the colonization. The, Hist war was between the Netherland er and the French In 1S08, and there, has been a cantlnuedsetlesof hostilities ever since. The Jnmcl'-on mid was but a symptom of disease, and the lloor pieparatlons for war ically began In 1SS1. The colonics In that country have come Into Hrltlsh possession Just as the Philippine Islands have come under control of the Pnltod States and th governments are justified In forcing the natives to accept the conditions ottered them. While It Is admitted that there arc many Christians nmoiig the Hoers. Ihipland Is also a Christian nation, and when 120,000 Hrltlsh soldiers weie sent to South Africa, 120,000 books of the, Gospel of St. John were sent with them. Five hundred Dutch Tllbles were also sent for the Hours who were taken prlsoneis. Christianity Is not all on one side In the present conlllct, and the Kngllsli lay eqvtol claim to sympathy and need consideration. Out of $23,000,000 paid for taxes, the Uitlanders paid $20,000,000, and received no privileges whatever. The efforts to secuto rights nnd llboitles for the Tlt landers really brought about the war. They are deprived of even educating their children In their own language. One of the essential conditions Is that the war was forced upon one nation by the other, and the natives are treated like dogs and have no recompense from thu Injustices done them. Natives In the Transvaal cannot cross the farm lands occupied by the Hoers without belnir detained several days on each tract and made to work, and the black man Is not deemed worthy of consideration. Nine out of eveiy ten missionaries and clergymen laboring In that country say the pres- Dufour's French Tar Has Won Success, It Cures Your Cold And Gives You Rest. FOR SALE BY ALL DEALERS. The Woman Is always well dressed. Fashions may come and go as they please, this color and that -shade may be the rage, but black holds lis own against them all and is at all times becoming. So much for the color, but we cannot say the same as to weaves, for there is as qreat a diversity in weights, effects and .fabrics among Black Goods as can be found among the fancies, and if vou desire to have this fact forcibly impressed upon your mind, you'll Do 0s the Favor of Attending Oiir Formal Opening of Black Dress Goods on Tliesday and Balance of Week The looms of the world have been ransacked to bring under your notice a stock that is fully, worthy your attention and we feel warranted in saying that a similar display of equal merit has never before been made in Scranton, not even at the QLOSE WAREHOUSE. Among the weaves that will command most attention this season are the following. Ask to have them pointed out to you, s-so you'll become familiar with them : fV' :,mrflWdlfoto& Baratheas, beautiful new creations in Silk and 'swaadlobair and Wool.

Fletcher referred to the hu mane treatment accorded tho Hoera by the Hrltlsh In the tellof of Klmbor ly and Ladysmlth, and while ho ac cords Cronjo credit In many respects for his bravery, he condemns him for retaining women and children as non combatants when he had an opportun ity to relievo them. Thu present con lllct bodes good for the Amerlcun na tion, ho says, and the day has gone by when we should Interfere, as thu strengthening of thu Hrltlsh posses sions means the strengthening of ours. if the war In South Africa Is being waged for the cause of Christianity. Hov. Fletcher believes that God Bhould give the victory to the Hrltlsh, as It will mean greater highways for Chris tianity, lie does not want the Hoers, destroyed, but wants them to submit and enjoy the beneilts to be derived from Hrltlsh possession. At the conclusion of the lecture, Rev, J. H. Sweet, of the Simpson Methodist Kplscopal church, offcied prayer and Dr. Moffat Intioduccd the speaker to a number of his hearers. FUNKRAT OF MRS. STERN.

I he Whole Truth $ Nearly every woman in America needs treatment at some time in her life for troubles of the generative organs. , To treat these cases properly it is necessary to know all about them, and full information many times cannot be given by a woman to her family physician. She cannot bring herself to tell everything and the physician is at a constant dis- o A m n n fro ?; firs. J. F. Stretch, 461 ficchanlc St.. Camden, N. J. writes: "Dear Mrs. Pinkham I was a sufferer from female weakness. Every month regularly as the menses came, I suffered dreadful pains in uterus, ovaries were affected and had leu corrhcea. I had my children very fast and it left me very weak, A year ago I was taken with flooding and al most died. The doctor even gave me up and wonders how I ever lived. I wrote for Mrs. Pinkham's advice at Lynn, Mass., nnd took her medicine and began to: get well. I took several bottles of the Compound and used the Sanative Wash and can truly say that I am cured. You would hardly know me, I am feeling and looking so well. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound made me what I am. " Marie Lemp, 108 2d Ave., New York City, was ad vised by her physician to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. This is her letter: " I have three children and suffered with falling of the womtiand flooding. My physician scraped the womb, still the flooding continued and I was no better. At last he ad vised me to use Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Then I thought I would write to Mrs. Pinkham, for she could advise me better than any one if I was to take her remedies. I received her reply and followed all herdirections and I am very glad to i send you this testimonial, for Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is just what it is recom mended to be. I advise all women who suffer from these complaints to try it." Mra. Remlckor Finds Rottof From Pain, "Dear Mrs. Pinkham I feel it my duty to write and thank you for what your Vegetable Compound has done for me. It is the only medicine I have found that has done me any good. Before taking your medicine, I was all run down, tired all the time, no appetite, pains in my back and bearing-down pains, and a great sufferer during menstruation. After taking two bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I felt like a new. woman. I am now on my fourth bottle and .all my pains have left me. I feel better than I have felt for three years and would recommend your Compound to every suffer ing woman. I hope this letter will help-others to find a cure for their troubles." firs. Delia Remicker, Rensselaer, Ind. Another Tumor Suoomaafully Expmllmd, "Two years ago I was a great sufferer from womb trouble and profuse flowing each month, and tumors would form in the womb. I had four tumors in two years. I went through treatment with doctors, but they did me no good, and I thought I would have to resort to morphine. The doctor said that all that could help me was to have an operation and have the womb removed, but I had heard of Mrs. Pinkham's medicine and de cided to try it, and wrote for her advice, and after taking her Vegetable Compound the tumors were expelled and I began to get stronger right along, and am as well as ever beforo. Can truly say that I would never have gotten well had it not been for Lydia E. Pinkham's Compound. 1 cannot praise it enough." Mary A. Stahl, Watsontown, Pa.
