GoVKIlN'MKNT revenues for March
are estimated at $45,000,000, which is
probably enough to meet all expendi
tures. Such a condition at the wind
ing up of a war is In the highest de
gree creditable to the party fn power.
Some additional state revenue
might be obtained by a tax on the
promises to pay, which, are said to
have been made in and about the
Pennsylvania Legislature for the de
livery of certain "goods," comments
the Philadelphia Record.
Thkkk Is not as vet any indication
of interruption of the steady growth
in the volume of the country's busi
ness. It Is true that railway earnings
for February showed a fractional de
crease, as compared with tne same
mouth last year. Climatic conditions,
however, had much to So with that,
and as the Increase in February, louts,
over February, 1897, was over 13 per
cent, a fulling oil of less than 1 per
cent, can hardly be regarded as any
thing serious. On the other hand,
the tendency of prices and the busi
ness movements generally all show
not only a present Increase but a con
fidence in continued growth. The
volume of the country's business for
the past week in March wag (accord
ing to Dun) 45.9 per cent, greater than
in the same week of last year.
Fast Disappearing.
There is not now a Democratic
United States Senator from any
Northern state. There are a few re
maining Populists with Democratic
leanings. The Republicans will have
hereafter several Senators from
Southern states two from Maryland,
two from West Virginia, one from
Kentucky.
There is not now a single Democra
tic Governor of any Northerivstnte
not one while Maryland, West Vir
ginia, Kentucky and North Carolina
have Republican Governors. The
few Populist Governors in t-ome of
the smallest of the Western states are
fast disappearing.
This is not sectionalism, but its ab
sence. The country is united, with
all doors open to another prosperous
and patriotic term for McKinley.
To Appoint Quay.
It is again suggested that if the
Legislature fails to elect a Senator at
its present session, Governor Stone
will, before the convening of the next
Congress, appoint ex-Senator Quay to
sueeeed himself.
It is true that the rule in the United
Btates Senate, in cases of n similar
kind in the past, is against the prob
ability of any such appointment being
approved by the Senate. But it is
argued, and with no little plausibility,
that it 1b In the power of the Senate
to reverse its rule of aetion that eaoh
new Senate ean put its own construc
tion on the law. That the Supreme
Court has on a rehearing of a point
of law reversed its own deeision, and
the Senate of the United States has
certainly the same right to reconsider
and reverse its decisions, if on u re
consideration of the matters It deems
it the right thing to do.
And as home Senators hove ex
pressed themselves in favor of thlrt
course, it would not l o surprising if
in this state, as well as other states In
vJiloh the Legislature failed to elect a
Senator, the Governors would appoint
one.
Soldier Seriously Injured at Drill.
New York, March 21Bdward A.
Burns, member of Battery F, Fifth
United States artillery, while going
through the drill at Madison Square Gar
den, preliminary to the opening of the
military tournament last evening, was
erlously Injured. In one of the sharp

Now York, Mnroh St. A largo force
of men worked on the ruins of the Wind
sor hotel Inst night. The workmen ex
cavated slowly, and with great euro.
The debris wan thrown from the space
occupied by the hotel to the sidewalk.
Crowds pressed as close to tho ruins ns
they were allowed by the police. At mid
night 300 Inliorers who hnd been diguing
In the ruins were relieved by another
gang of 300.
No body has been found since 0 o'clock
yesterday morning, when the workmen
came across the remains of two charred
bodies In the ruins. The first body taken
out was from the Forty-sixth side, the
second from the Fifth avenue side, close
by what hnd been the main entrance of
the hotel. There were merely fragments
of both bodies, neither hnving head,
feet or arms. These fragments wero
taken to the morgue, where they wero
ticketed as bodies "one" and "two" and
placed In the section especially set aside
for the lire victims. These two bring the
total number of bodies so far recovered
up to 12. Besides these there are at
least six persons who were seen to jump
from the roof and windows while the
hotel was burning, and of whose bodies
no trace has yet been come upon.
A button found in tho segment of the
body known as "body No. 2,' and sup
posed to be the body of a woman from
18 to 27 years of age, was made in tills
city. It is a common cloth button, and
Is used only by manufacturers of ready
made clothing. This fact, and the fact
that the kid gloves are of poor quality
lead to the belief that tho woman was
not a guest, but an employe of the hotel.
From time to time articles of more or
less value were found and turned over
to the police. They included jewelry,
watches, clocks, canes, articles of cloth
ing, letters, keys, photographs, field and
opera glasses, silverware and toilet
articles. A necklace was found on the
Forty-sixth street side, near where the
baths were. It was set with diamonds
and opals, and estimated to be worth
about $10,000. A gold and diamond
bracelet valued at $2,500 was found near
by. According to the lists of missing
property prepared by the police both be
longed to Mrs. James It. Stokes, who
la missing. One of Thomas P. Ochll
tree's trunks was found, the contents
quite uninjured.
A great deal of work was done on the
Fifth nvenue side of the heap. The of
fice safe was dug out there. It was un
covered and left under guard of the po
lice. It was intact, so far as could be
told from passing observation. The clerk
of the hotel said that this was a small
safe which contained no important pa
pers. The "big office safe," he thought,
had gone through to the sub-basement,
and would not be found for some time.
The "big" safe contains a list of the
hotel employes.
Several of the persons hitherto re
ported as missing were found to be safe
yesterday. The present list of missing
numbers 44. This, however, takes into
account but tew of the 200 servants of
the house.

THE ALASKAM" BOUKu'ARY.
Neod For Settllmr It Qulokly to Avort
FlKlitH With Cniinillnns.
Washington, March 21 The British
ambassador, Sir Julian Paunccfote, con
ferred yesterday with Secretary liny in
reference, it is understood, to a modus
Vivendi to be observed along the Alaskan
border in order to obviate the possibility
of a clash pending the final determina
tion ot the border. Tlio need of this
had been emphasized within the last few
days by reports of 11 battle between the
Canadian and the American prospectors
on the Porcupine river. These reports
havecansed considerable uneasiness in
offlcialVircles in London, and efforts have
been'made to learn the facts. There has
Jcn no official information, however,
cither' here or in London. Just such a
clash haB been expected, and the re
ports have net-Tod to dlroct the attention
of officials to the need of effecting a
border arrangement.
The preliminary move In this direction
was made as soon ns the Anglo-American
commission adjourned without settling
the border question. Sir Julian then
suggested that a temporary arrange
ment be made. This would maintain the
status quo, each side making no further
advance pending a final agreement on the
boundary. A temporary line probably
would be run by tho two governments.
This would not affect permanent in
terests, but would serve as a legal bar
rier between the lawless fortune seekers
in that locality. The plan Is favorably
received on both sides and is likely to
be carried into effect, although no agree
ment has been entered into thus far.
HOW TO FIND OUT.
Fill a bottle or common glasss with your
water and let it stand twenty-four hours:
a sediment or settling indicates an unheal
thy condition of the kidneys j if it stains
your linen it is evidence of kidney trouble j
too frequent devire to pass it or pain in ihe
back is also convincing proof that the kidney
and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO no.
Theie is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills ever)'
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the back,
kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the
urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold
water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or beer,
and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of
being compelled to go often duriug the day,
and to get up many times during the night.
The mild and the extraordinary effect o(
Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the
higliett for its wonderful cures of the most
distressing cases. If you need a medicine you
should have the bet. At druggiits fifty cents
or one dollar.

that tells more about it, ' both, sent ab'olutrly

The First Woman to Moot Logal
Death by Elootrooutiorh
MET HER FATE WITH CALMNESS,
I'be Kxoottttnn Was tlio Most Success
fut Tlint IW Kvor Tnkon Plnoe In
8lua Sliiar Prison Two Women Ao
coiiipniilod Hop to tlio Doatli Cuntr.
New York, March 21. Mrs. Martha
Place was executed at Sing Sing prison
yesterday. She was the first woman to
die In the electric chair In the state of
New York, nnd she went to her death
quietly. Her dcatii was instantaneous,
but two shocks being given. The volt
age of the current wns 1700, and It was
continued for four seconds, It was then
gradually diminished to 200 voltnge,
which was continued for CO seconds. Dr.
Irvine, tho physician of the prison, ex
amined the woman nnd then ordered a
second shock. That was the same as
the first In power, and continued for the
same length of time. The second shock
has nlways been administered at Sing
Sing.
Mrs. Place murdered her stepdauglher,
Ida M. Place, a mere girl, on Feb. 7,
1808. She first threw ncid In the girl's
eyes nnd then smothered her. This was
early in the morning In their home in
Brooklyn. She Waited the entire day
for her husband to return, and then at
tacked him with an ax. fracturing his
skull nnd otherwise seriously InJUrlng-j-
Inm. l'loce, however, recovered.
Mrs. Place wns Informed on Thursday
last by 'Wnrden finge that she must die
on Monday. Again on Sunday the war
den visited her nnd told her she must be
ready at 11 o'clock Monday morning.
She was ready at that hour, and no one
who watched her could understand what
change must have taken place in the
woman's nnture to so dull her senses
thnt she could go to her death so calmly
nnd Impassively ns Mrs. Place did. The
last woman condemned to die in thts
stnto went to the gallows shrieking and
fighting, but Mrs. Place hardly uttered
a sound.
ThU wns the twenty-sixth electrocu
tion nt Sing Sing prison, but none before
was so successful as that of yesterday.
Not only wns there no scene, but there
wns no delay. Within three minutes
after coming through the Iron doors the
order of the law hud been carried out.
There were 12 witnesses present, and
only those who watched every movement
witnessed Mrs. Place's death.
On Sunday Mrs. Place had her regular J
attendants, and during the night she
was visited by her spiritual adviser.
Rev. Dr. David Cole, of Yonkers, and
Mrs. Meury, n mission worker of Brook
lyn, who hns tnken a grent Interest In
the woman's welfare. Mrs. Sage, the
warden's wife, also spent an hour with
her, but at 0:30 Mrs, Place was left
alone with the night matron, Mrs. Coul
try, with two keeper." in the outer room.
The condemned woman was very rest
less. She did not retire until 2:30, and
nfter thot she was up several timos to
pray.'
Mrs. Place had told her pastor thnt
she believed her sins had been forgiven,
nnd asserted her faith in the hereafter.
She was buoyed up with this feeling
when the warden came for her to lead
her to the chair. She was dressed In
black, a gown made herself, simple nnd
plain. She hod expected to wear It at
her new trial or when she received her
liberty. A white band was around her
throat, and her light brown hair, now
turning gray, wns brushed back smooth
ly over her forehead. It was clipped
away only where the electrode was to
be placed.
Mrs. Place said simply that she was
ready, and the warden took her arm In
his. They went slowly through the de
serted old hospital building along sev
eral hallways, and finally through the
last corridor of all. On either side the
murderers' cells were draped with heavy
curtains, and the procession moved more
quickly through this dismal place.
Meanwhile the witnesses had been call
ed Into the death chamber. Suddenly
the side door was thrown open, a keeper
stepped In nnd called for another keeper
and turned -rapidly away. The keeper
returned nnd was followed almost nt
once by Mrs. Place, leaning heavily on
the warden's arm. Her face was very
white, her head uplifted, her eyes closed.
The white band on her throat seemed
scarcely whiter than her face. Behind
came the women attendants, one a phy
sician, the other the day matron. Rev.
Dr. Cole came next, and after him were
the two keepers.
As they came over the threshold Mrs.
Place gave no sign of fear, nor did she
even seem to know what was about to
happen. The wnrden held her up still
more firmly, nnd the woman assisted her
to the chair. She picked her way almost
like a blind woman across the short
space that separated her from death.
She was gently" pressed down Into the
frame and Dr. Irvine, who was in wait

THioned to the women, and they came up
on either side. It took but a moment
to strap her In. The edge of her skirt
was lifted quickly, the stocking drawn
down over her shoo and the electrode fas
tened by one of the women to the right
leg. Then the skirt was dropped. The
head cap was clamped on, tho straps
buckled across the face, and a pad drop
ped over the forehead. The two women
stood with outstretched skirts, with Ur,
Irvine and a male attendant on either
side, almost shutting out the view ot the
witnesses, and the signal was given

book she held in her left nana was drawn
across the wrist. No one had expected
that the shock would be given so quick

the execution had occurred.
Mrs. Place had murmured as she was
seated fn the chair: "God help me; God
have mercy." There was not a sound
after that, not even a moan. The vis
ible effect ot the shock was less than
had ever been observed In the death
house beforei There was not the slight
est distortion of features; the eyes were
covered, and when the straps were re
moved they were still closed. On the
second shock the body straightened out
again, and a little foam oozed from the
)ips. When the current was shut off
the body reposed naturally in the chair.
The body was allowed to remain in the
chair until ail the witnesses has retired,

Nearly every woman in America needs
treatment at some lime 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
advantage.

"Dear Mrs.Pinkham
I was a suflerar from female
weakness. Every month

came, I suffered dreadful
pains in uterus, ovaries
were affected and had leu
corrhoca. I had my children
very fast and it left me very
weak. A year njju-J. 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., and took T
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 ko well. Lydia E.

" 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 anU 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. Iam 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 Remlcker, Rensselaer, Ind.

"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 oper'ation and have the womb
removed, but I had heard of Mrs. Pinkham's medicine and de?
cided tb try it, and wrote for her adVice, and after taking her
Vegetable Compound the tumors wero expelled and I began to
get stronger right along, and. am as well as ever before. Can
truly say that I would never have gotten well had it not been for
Lydia E. Pinkham's Compound. I cannot praise it enough."
