rH K CITIZEN. WILLI AH C. NHGLEY -- Pab'Uher THURSDAY. JANUARY 24. / H VKKIMU KG. r At Monday # - --ion --f the senate, immediately after prayers. Mr. Mnehl bronner offered "a biil for the govern ment of cities of the second class ami it was referred to a com mi t tee. It is aimed at the power of Messrs Mag. e and Flinn in Pittsburg, and its import ant points are as follows: Tee Mayor is to appoint the heads of departments subject to confirmation by Select Council. Policemen and firemen not to be dis • charged without a triaL The office of Collector of Delinquent Taxes is abolished. the creation of a Sinking Fund Com mission is provided for. Civil service is to apply to ail depart ments. Members of Sel<-<-t Council to 1* elect ed at large, on a basis of one nj-tulvr f jr each 2.000 resident taxable*. Members of Common Council to be elected from each ward, on a bas ! s of 1000 resident taxables. Members of Conncil will not be allow ed to hold any other office, except Notary Public, in the Federal, State, county or city governments. Councils will have two sessions an nually. of 80 days each. Special meet ings may be held at the call of the Mayor. Proposals for public work are to be opened in public and the figures made known at that time. What is called the "ripper provides that within 30 days after the passage of the act the Governor shall appoint a Mayor for each city of the second class, to hold office until April, IMS. Treas urer, Controller and Anesaonare to ac t until their successors are elected and qualified- Councils to remain as at present con stituted until first Monday in April, 1 902. Their successors snail be elected at the regular election on the third Tuesday in February, 1902. Confirmation by Select Council of the appointments by the appointed Mayor is not required, but all appointees shall possess tbe qualifications required by the act. beath of Queen Victoria. On Saturday last tbe Queen of Eng land, then living at Osborne, her home on tbe Isle of Wight, on the south coast of England, had a stroke of par alysis, and lingered till Taesday after noon. when she breathed her last. She was in her Hind year, and had been the and the nominal rnler of the English Empire for sixty-four years. She was crowned Queen, (upon the death of her nncle) when she was but II years of age, married a German prince, a few years later and raised a large family. By her death, her eldest son, the no torious Prince of Wales, now in his With year, becomes King, and assnm -s the crown as Edvard VII. Hrntal British Order*. Amid the clangor of denunciation of General lie Wet for the alleged infliction of the death penalty upon one who at tempted to induce his men to quit fight ing.some questionable liriti-h orders ap pear to have been issued. The "stop the war*' committee in London issues a statement averring that. Kitchener has issued orders to tbe trooi* pursuing I>e Wet to ' take no prisoners This may be construed to mean that no quarter is to be given, as the committee construe* it, or merely that no prisoners are to Is sent in to share the limited supply of provisions at British posts. The proclamation of martial law in Cape Colony, however, is accompanied by a severe regulation, that it -hall be unlawful for anyone except officials to possess arms or ammunition. There i* no direction as to what the burghers are to do with their rifles,but they must not have them in their po-scs-,on. Pre snmably anyone fonnd violating this order may Is; taken on a charge of dis loyalty and punished »s the authorities may decree. It is a harsh rule in a country where weapons are more or less needed in safeguarding the household ami where it has been the nniverp.il practice to keep arms. It is an order that will do mnch to incite rebellion, the Boer being like the American re garding the privilege to have and to l>ear amis as one of his. inalienable rights. The truth is the British authorities are desperate. They are resorting to measures not sanctioned by the civilized code and are probably driving the Boers * to retaliation. This war has been a grievous mistake 011 the part of England from the beginning, and it will be many years liefore its stain <-nn i>e wiped from the British escutcheon. From the lancing of men begging for mercy at the inception of the conflict to the brutalities of Kitchener there has been little in the struggle that honest. Britons need not Is- ashamed of. Pittsburg Dispatch. IN one respect the accession of the Prince of Wales to the throne of Great Britian may prove of immediate inter national importance Uoih the German Emperor and the Czar of Ku sj,i are his nephews not to mention the numerous minor crowned heads among his rela tives and connections arid he is on terms of friendly and confidential inter course with tioth of them Such a triumvirate, representing the three greatest European powers phould Is able to command the peace of the voili Though the time has gone by when national movements eon Id Is deterinin ed by monarchs, rather than by the nations themselves, th- g Gemini Ern per or does not yet believe this and the Czar still has a position of trem tiidous j»ower.

Friday evening, the 2'< th THE discovery that England is collect ing a five per cent income tax from the American holders of £28,000,000 of British Government liorids is quite a surprise W T hen the Americans took tbi/se Becnritiim and paid good money for them they nnderst ssl that they were without encumbrance Income taxes are not collected here. The re sult. is an important redaction in the rt turn expected from the investment, and the holders are naturally anxious to get. rid of their bonds in order to j lace their money in ls-tter paying home ssenri ties The power of Great Britain to collect this tax may Is- conceded, but its imposition, withrat fair notice, is a cheap trick that will f<e resented and arte that will not assist, in floating any future British issues on this side of the Atlantic. V KIGIIItOItIIOOM NO i l „s. By the death of Mnrray 11 Hall. 60 years old, in New York • ity. lately, it. was discovered that for 30 year< a woman bad passed as a man with such complete success that not until the physician laid out the tsslyin i!»-:ith was her sex revealed For yearn Hall had lived as .1 married man. having t.vo wiver.

A Complicated Suceessiou. It is by a very complicated and brok en descent that the new King of Eng land will take his place in the line of Edwards. He has to go l>aok to one of the great ones, the third, who. with Edward the Black Prince, whipped the French at Crecy and Poitiers. His direct genealogy does not touch another of the nsuie It w;is from Edward 111 that Henry Tud- r claimed d-s ent through his ui -ther. and made good bis claim on Bcsworth field. On • ..f the high stewards of Scotland, about the time of Edward 111., married the danghtc-r of Robert Bruce and their .-m succeeded to the Scottish crown as Robert 11. A d-scendant of his. James IV . married the 'laughter of this Henry VII.. and when the family of Henry VIII . became extinct with the death of Elizabeth the great-grandson of the Princess Margaret. James VI. of Scot land. became James I. of England. This is the way the Scottish honse of •-ttiart came in by inheritance from a daughter of the Tndors. who had claim el \hrough a daughter of the Plantaga net.-. the first of whom the Duke of An jou. had married the grand-danghter of the Norman conquerer. The direct suc ces-i m of the Stuart-, was from James I to Charles 1., Ctiarles 11. and James 11. The revolution of 16*8 gave James 11. s crown to his daughter Mary and her husband. William of Orange. and after Dut'-h William it passed to the other si-ter. Anne. The partisans of the house of Stnarr always insisted that this was a usurpation. but the last opportunity to restore the male line was missed when Anne died. Mary and Anne having left no de fendants and the Jacobite claimants be ing ruled out. it was necessary to turn to the collateral issne of James I. His daughter Elizabeth had been married to the Elector Palatine and their daughter Sophia, to the Elector of Hanover Earnest Asfustus. whose son was rec ognized as heir to the throne of his English and Scottish ancestors, to which be ac' ieded as George I In this way the German family of Guelphs. the house of Brunswick-Lunebnrg. came to reign over Great Britain. The subsequent succession has been reasonably direct. Victoria being a grand-danghter of George I\ There is no immediate danger now of the ex haustion of the direct line of her de scendants. as long es the English people find it convenient to select the head of the state in this way Actual right of descent was practically repudiat ed at the revolution and the succession is determined by act of Parliament "the consent ot the governed. —Phila delphia Times.

The following period < 1*560-1870) inclu d»d the civil war, but even this terrible calamity could not arrest the mornen- i turn of inventive progress. As might be supposed, the inventions of this peri- j od reflected to some extent the strife of batrle, and we find here the introduction of Timby's revolving turret. Ericsson s iron-clad,' Monitor, the Gatling gun. the white gunpowder of Schultz and of Dittmar. dynamite, Nobel's ex plosive gelatine, the Whitehead torpedo. Moncrieff's disappearing gun carriage, and the rebounding gun lock. The McKay staoe-ewing ma chine revolutionized the shoe industry. Col. Green invented the drive well. Otis introduced his passenger elevator, the first barbed wire fence appeared, and rubber dental plates -were introduced. In this period, also Louis Pasteur began bis great work in bacteriology and es tablished the germ theorv of disease. Martin's process of making steel was in troduced. Wilde. Siemens and Gramme brought out several dynamo electric machines. Bnrleigh invented his compressed air rock drills, andTilgb inan his sulphite process for making wood pulp pap* r. Oleomargarine was produced, the Suez Canal opened, the Pacific Railway was completed.the first Westinghouse sir brakes were devised, the Windhansen refrigerating machines were brought out, and the Mont Cenis tnnnel was practicallv completed. The next decade (1870-1880) included the periods of the great financial panic in the United States and the critical political strife incident to the contested Presidential election. This retarded to some extent the growth of patents in numbers,but it does not seem to have ar rested the thought of the inventor, nor to have affected its quality. The Hoe web perfecting press was developed, and put to work iu the office of The New York Tribune. A great array of valuable inventions followed among which may }*• mentioned the Locke grain binder; the Ingersoll rock drill: Stearns' duplex telegraph; Westinghouse's improved automatic air brake; Lyall s positive motion loom; Janney's automatic car coupler: Edison's qoadrnplex telegraph; Gorhain's twine binder for harvesters: Lowe's process of making illuminating gas from water: the roller mill and mid dlings purifier for making flour: Pictet s ice machine; cash carrier* for stores; Prof. Bells wonderful speaking tele phoue: cigarette machinery; Edison's electric pen steam feed for saw-mill carriages: Hallidie s cable cars Edison s Phonograph; the Otto gas engine; Jab lochkoff's electric candle; Sawyer-Man electric lamp: Berliner's telephone trans mitter of variable resistance; Edison's carlion microphone; liquefaction of oxy gen, nitrogen.and lir bv Pictet and'.'ail letej; the development of the Reming ton typewriter. Edison's electric lamp with carbon filament; gelatino-bromide emulsions in photogaphy, the Birken head and Rabbeth spinning spindles, and the fjei-sner cloth presses; Siemens also installed the first electrical railway at Berlin: and the Mississippi jetties were bnilt by ''apt ...ads The Let magazine rifle, Fanre's storage battery, and Greener's haininerless gun were other inventions of this period. in the next, decade (1 HMO- IH'.lOj the rad ical inventions of the preceding periods had gotten well into the commercial a<- tivitiesof the national life, and this d cade represents the greatest epoch of pro-peri ty the republic has ever enjoj '■&.

Main St HELPLESS HUSBANDS HOW HELPLESS HUSBANDS HAYE BECOME HELPFUL. Never does a man feel so helpless u when he looks upon the suffering of the wife he loves and knows that he is powerless to prevent it. And when, as is often the cuke, he has exhausted every means at his disposal in the vain effort to restore his wife to health, his despair almost equals her suffering. There are husbands who have passed through this experience and have found a way to be helpful to their wives when physicians had absolutely failed to cure, and been even powerless to help the sufferer. One such husband thus relates his ex perience : "I take pleasure in writing you to let you know nWit your ' Favorite Prescrip tion,*" says Mr. E. B. Fricke, of Peters burg, Menard Co., 111*., Box 367. "My wife had been nick nearly all her life, and after trying everything I could think of I made up my mind to try ' Favorite Prescription.' I sent to Chicago and got six bottles, which my wife took, a table spoonful three time* a day, until the baby came. She felt better after taking the first bottle, and when bnbv was born he weighed nine and a half pounds. To-day lie is six months old and weighs twenty-two pounds. He is a* good a child as any one could wish. The doctor «ays he is as healthy as any baby could Iw, and sl*o the doctor says your 'Favor ite Prescription ' was the cause of such a healthy baby. 1 felt I owed you this much for the good you did my wife and (or my own happiness." IIIS "MtTTKK HAL*." The reference to the wife as the "better hslf" i* made sometimes half humorously. But in his heart every man feels thst the old phrase expresses a fact. When the wife is sick the whole fabric of home totters to its fall. When the wife is confined to her l>ed the hus band lea.ls a half life, a life from which the sunshine and laughter have been taken away. It is not to lie wondered at therefore, that husband* express their gratitude for the cures which follow the use of Dr. I'ierce's I'avorite Prescription. What a change from a sickly bed ridden wife, helpless anil miserable, to a wife who is once more able to "guide the house" in health and happiness. "Mv wife was afflicted with uterine trouble for several year*," write* Mr. J. C. Day, of Little Britain, Lancaster Co., Pa., "and in November, 1898, the doctor said she had a mishap. He treated her for altout two months or no, but there was but little improvement. 1 wrote you after she had commenced to take ' Favorite Prescription ' and you told us to get 'Golden Medical Discov ery ' also.

I>octor Pierce's Favorite Prescription makes weak women strong and sick women well. It establishes regularitv, dries the drains which weaken women, heals inflammation and ulceration an«l cure* female weakness. When taken is a preparative for maternity it promotes health of body and cheerfulness of mind. It encourages the nppetiti-, in duces refreshing sleep, and when tin hour of trial comes it makes the hubv's advent practically painless. It is the f>cst tonic for nursing mothers, promot ing the flow of the nutritive secretions and giving the mother strength to give her child. "My wife was sick for over ci|(ht years," writes Albert If. Fulte, Ksq., of Aitamont. Gr u -»d y Co.. Tcnn. "She had uterine ■ disease and was treated by two physicians and gut no relief. At last I read in ' one of your Memorandum v Books which you sent me f about I>r. Pierce's medi cine* and we derided to try liis ' Favorite Prescrip tion.* I sent t > the drug store and got one bottle and the first ifcisj ;j»ve ease and sleep. She had not slept any for tli nights. Being sure that it nould cure her I sent for five more (Kittles, and when she had taken th»- six ljottles she was sou mi and well." AN OPPORTUNITY FOR WOMEN. Women who arc suffer ing from diseases of long standing are invited to con - sult I»r. !'i< rce, by letter, fret. All letters arc pri vately read and privately answered, and the written confidences of women arc treated with the same strict professional privacy ob served by Dr. Pierce in personal consul tations with women at the Invalids- Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo. N. Y. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buf falo, N. Y. Tliis offer of free consultation by It iter Is not to lie classed with the spurious offers of "free medical advice" made l>v thoce who having neither professional training nor experience are medically and legally unqualified to give the ad vice they offer. Although it takes more than a diploma to make a good plivsi ciau yet the medical diploma is essen tial as witnessing to professional study and training. It is well for women to examine into offers of "free medical advice," and to uscertairi whether the offer is made by those conijietent pro fessionally and legally to give uie<licul advice. Any one can offer "medical advice" but such advice from one who is not medically educated and qualified is not only worthless but dangerous. In n little over thirty years Dr. Pierce, chief consulting physician to the Inva lids' Hotel ami Surgical Institute, Buf falo, N. Y., assisted by his staff of nearly 11 score of physicians, has treated and cureil hundreds of thousands of weak and sick women. Write therefore with out fee as without fear to Dr. K. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. The effort of some dealers to sell a substitute for "Favorite Prescription" as "just as good" is due to the fact that les* meritorious preporations pay a little more profit. Insist on having the medi cine which makes weak women strong and sick women well. To husbands and wivks. The best medical work for the home is Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Med ical Adviser.
