" I have been troubled for t,ho past
two years with falling of the womb,
leueorrlxca, pains over my body, sick
headaches, backache, nervousness and
weakness. I tried doctors and various
remedies without relief. After taking
two bottles of your Vegetable Com-

Mrs. Henbv Dorr, No. SOOTindleySt,

"For a long time I suffered with
chronic inflammation of the womb,
pain in abdomen and bearing-down
feeling. Was very nervous at times, and
so weak 1 waa hardly ablo to do any
thing. Was subject to headaches, also
troubled with Icucorrhces. After doc

physicians, and getting no relief, I had
given up 'all hope of being well
again when 1 read of the great good

ately to give it a trial. The result was
simply past belief. After taking four

WM. E. GLADSTONE.
the Aged Premier, inrrounded By tha Mem

Will be Buried at Hawardan.
Ttt. Hon. Wlt!lnm Rwnrt nimlstone,
four times prime mliilater of lOiiKliincl,
'lied at & a. tn. Thursday, at Huwarden,
Kn.
Mr. Olndatnne hnd been unennsrlntts
t rnetli nlly nil dny, thouuh nt times he
ft pined to recoirnlse for n moment some
of the watchers about him. Certainly
bo did reeoRnlne his wife, who was be
side him nil clay, except when the phy
sician prevailed upon her to reet. Klie
tenderly clapped her huelinnd's hand an
nhe watched him. Apparently he alept
n good deal: oecnnloniilly he uttered a
few words In nn Incoherent, dreamy
way, words which thoae who were
wntelilnir were unnble to rnteh. Their
enly consolation was that he was not
siifferlnir puln. No nnfcotlcs were B"l
inlnlKtered. ThoiiRh a tintlonnl funeral will proh
nldy be nreepted by the family, there Is
little doubt that the remain of Mr.
ttladRtotie will be laid to rest In the
peaceful Kraveyard nt Hnwarden. nd
jolnlmr the church were he was mar
ried more than half a century hro.
Utirltiff the crlpl Mr. tllndstom's
brcnthliKf wns 3d to the minute and tho
Membern of his fnmlly were summoned,
ltev. Ste)ben (llndstone rend iirayers
and hymns, Inc hullnfr Mr. Olndntone's
fnvorlro, "Itnck of Anea." When this
was concluded Mr. tllndstone wus
heard to murmur "Our Fnthr."
It Is now virtually decided that Mr.
Ohvlxtone's remains shall be Interred
In Westminster Abbey. It Is learned
thnt the family do not oppose the
nation's desire, and that the only di
rection left was thnt lie Phould be
burled nt Ilnwnrden, unless there
should be an unmistakable national
vlsh for nn Interment nt the abbey.
The late ltlrrht Hon. William Kwnrt
Olndstone. M. 1, 1. t, was the fourth
fon of the inta Plr John (Sladstone,
Hart., of Fasqiie. t'ounty Kincardine,
N. H., a well-known merchant of Liv
erpool, nnd wus born there December
rn. is mi.
lMirlmr his stay nt lllarrltz. In Feb
ruary, 1MH, a London Journal announc
ed Mr. (Iludstonn's retirement, but the
report wns contradicted In very irunrd
rd terms. After his return to England
the rumor was renewed, nnd In the
midst of the uncertainty Mr. Gladstone
delivered bis Inst speech ns prime
minister In the house of commons, on
the fli'Ft of March the occasion beliiK
the lords' amendments to the vnxlsh
councils bill.
The next dny his reslsnntlon wan
mode public, nnd the discovery thnt
the premier wns stiff .rliiir from cotnr
net In both eyes wns given as the chief
cause for such a decisive step. On
March 3 Air. Gladstone, In nn audience
with the ciueen, gave up the seals of
ofllee.
Hlnce thnt period Mr. Oladstone rare
ly took any part In public, nfi'alrs, but
nin le somo exi eptouiu. when bo Inter
ested himself In favor of the Armen
ians. While at Cannes, In March, ISH7,
lie wrote and published a le'tir to the
duke of Westminster pleading the
cause of Crete nnd Oroeee as npalnst
Turkey. A stolned-glnss window was
unveiled 111 Hnwnrden church In rec
ognition of Mr. Gladstone's efforts In
behalf of the oppressed Armenlnns and
Mrs. Gladstone was presented with a
portrait of his holiness Mlchrldlth I,
supreme patriarch of the Armenians.
Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone left London
for Cannes on November 25. 1S97, and
arrived at the latter place three d lys
later. They remained there for nearly
eleven weeks nnd the homeward ttlp
was beRiin on the lfith of last February
nnd they reached London on the l'J. Ho

TRADE REVIEW.
Caainal Prosperity In the Weit-Greatett
Ontpnt it Iron aver Knows.
It. O. Dun A Co.'s review of trade re
ports as follows for lnst week:
Growing accustomed to wnr possi
bilities, which are mostly far from
probabilities of evil, nnd rinding the
nation moving along stendily In Its In
dustries, people lire grasping the Idea
thnt It Is throwing nwny some months
of active nnd profitable life to wait
until wnr clouds !m nusi-ed. Western
prosperity has so greatly overbalanced
timidity of eastern cupl'.nl that ac tual
business done Increases: rnllrond
earnings promise better for May than
a month ngo for April, and puyments
through clearing houses for the week
In Muy show a gain of 3D per cent over
last year and J.fi tier cent over 1S!2,
while a month ngo the Increase over
last year was 3:l.H, and compared -with
1M2 there was a decrease of 7.2 per
cent. Several large contracts, kept
back for some weeks because of hos
tilities, have now been placed, and In
stead of works closing or reducing
force, returns show the starling of
some works Ioiir Idle, nnd Increase of
torce or of hours at others. Govern
ment works occupied many establish
ments, but It counts for little compared
with other demands.
The key of the situation Is the pros
perity of the West, which altogether
unprecedented marketing of bread
stuffs has caused, with the prospect
of good crops to come. There pros
pects, and actual receipts of wheat
amounting to 7(1.7 IB bushels for the
week, ngalnst i!.4M.H:il last year, with
advances also In other grnln and cat
tle, have produced n demand for rails,
cars, car materials, fcuclnir. agricul
tural Implements, boots nnd shoes, nnd
all textile goods, which was not antici
pated from eastern lndli atloiis. Kx
ports of wheat do not diminish, but in
three weeks from Atlantic ports, Hour
Included, hnve been i.lisri.rtl bushels,
rr.aliift 4,778,742 last year, and from
Pacific ports 1.73s, 123 bushels, apnlnst
610.637 bushels Inst year. The price of
May w heat fell 4'i.e on Saturday, rose
7: on Tuesday and closed uVisc higher
for the week.
In Iron, notwithstanding the greatest
output ever known, the ilemund has
caused somo ndvnnce In bessemer pig,
with only u slight declin- In the price
of grny forge ut Pittsburg, but full
quotations nre obtained ut Chicago
anil Phllcdclphlu. In bars nnd sheets
the markets are dull, but at the West
are strongly sustained by demands for
cur building, tin pit to manufacture,
ami other uses. In plates nnd struc
tural forma all tho works ore fully em
ployed, nnd rtenerally crowded for
months ahead. Hie contract for fi.utM
tons of urmor plate for Great li-ltnln
has been taken by works far Inland,
with another of smaller amuitlty,
showing that the export demand, In
spite of higher ocean freights. Is not
yet arrested. Tin Is sustained at 11.5
cents by large consumption, ami Inke
copper at 12 cents. In spite of American
production amounting to 22,Wfi tons for
tho month. 111 per cent larger than last
year, with n slight decrease In the pro
duction of foreign mines.
The textile works nre doing rather
better, even the cotton mills, In spite
of their over-production, for some of
large Importance have recently started
again, ami print cloths are a sixteenth
higher. Numerous woolen mills have
been pushed to new activity by gov
ernment orders and prices for a few
grades of goods nre better, with a
stronger tone In the market generally,
although some mills of Importance.
have stopped us their orders for the
season have run out. While sales of
wool are small, (l,.l:;s,P0 pounds for tho
three weeks pnst, against 27.!i(i3.7lH)
pounds last year, the manufacturers
have ample stocks, although some nre
obliged by government orders to seek
In the market grades of wool which
they had not expected to require.
Failures for the week have been 2W
In the I'nlted Stutes ngaltiHt 24H last
year, and 21) In Canada, against 37 last
year.

Its DliaAvantage Stieniied by Pre;Mn
Iagalli of tha llg Fear.
The Injustice and disadvantages of
the present Inter-State commerce laws
both to the railroads and to the people
were ably set forth In n recent address
by Mr. M. B. Ingalls, President of the
Hlg Four nnd Chesapeake A Ohio rail
roads. The orcnslon was the tenth nn
nunl convention of Itallrond Commis
sioners held In Washington, May 10.
Mr. Ingalls sold that the railroads
hnd reached a crisis, where something
must be done to avoid disaster not
only to the railroads but also to the
innterlal Interests of the country.
Since the enactment of the Inter
state commerce law In 1887, some pro
vision of thnt Inw has been constantly
under consideration either by congress
or tho courts. Now It Is admitted that
state legislatures have control over the
railroads with regard to locnl business
end congress has power as regards Inter-state
business.
In reference to the control of States
the Supreme court has Just decided
thnt stnte control must be rennnnnble,
nnd that rates cannot be reduced below
a point where railroads can earn their
expenses and a fair profit.
In 1SH7 It was decided by the Supreme
court that the Shermnn anti-trust law
applied to the railroads contrary to tho
assertions of railroad men. Under the
rulings of this law It was practically
Imjxtsslble to make any arrangements
for the maintenance of tariffs. Tho
tariffs are now but little respected by
the rallronds. Prlvnto nrrnngements
with lnrge shippers will sooner or Inter
utterly ruin the smnller traders.
Many railroad managers are carrying
freight far below cost.
A Ay must be found by which rail
road tariffs can be maintained and the
practice of secret rates ami contracts
discontinued. Tho settlement of this
question not only concerns the rail
roads but also one-fifth of the people
of the country, who are directly inter
ested In rnllronds.
The chief dllllculty with the Inter
state commerce law Is that the pun
ishments are entirely out of proportion
with the offences. The Imprisonment
clause has not public sentiment In Its
favor, and It also prevents one railroad
from prosecuting another.
The public, does not believe In the
law nnd what Is the result? Honest
railroads see their business going to
opposing lines: honest merchunts nre
undersold by others who have no scru
ples In making private contracts with
railroads. Honest railroads and mer
chants nre thus compelled of necessity
to break the law themselves or face
certain ruin.
Two changes should lie made In the
present laws to better the condition of
affairs.
First, the Imprisonment clnuse
should bo stricken out and a fine of
$5,000 Imposed Instead. The shipper
should not be punished at all In bis ef
forts to secure low rntes. Should ynt
punish him you would not be able to
secure his testimony.
Second, rullroads should be permit
ted to contract with each other for the
maintenance of rates and the division
of business. These would legnllze con
tracts between rnllrond corporation.
To-day such a contract would bo con
spiracy. There should be no friction between
the Interstate commerce laws and the
rnllronds, but the commission should
become the aid of the railroads.
Unless some change Is mnde ns has
been Indicated the small shippers will
be extinguished, and a few men of
large capital will control the entire
merchandise business.
A resolution of thanks was voted
Mr. Ingalls for his nddross, and his
tuiggostluns were referred to a special
committee.

ODD DUCKS Of PORT TAMPA,.
Of the Wild Variety, They Respond
Meadlly to Man's Coll,
The most Interesting thing at Tort
Tampa Is the duck, l'ort Tampa Is
collection of piers, but there la a hotel
built on piles that are dressed In sewer
pipe trousers to keep the teredo awny.
No shooting; is allowed around the
grounds or the piers, and, of course,
not a IMtlo stuff Is thrown from the
hotel thnt Is good food for ducks, peli
cans and gtills. Accordingly these
birds come about the hotel In flocks,
nnd not only are they without fear of
the people there, but they have learned
to come for food when any one whistles
for them its If for a dog.
"At first It seems as If the birds come
as readily to the call of one person as
of another, but the fact Is thnt two or
three people about the hotel are on
speaking terms with them. The birds
know their voices, and ore plnlnly very
friendly with them. At an old boat
landing stage the pelicans gather a doz
en at a time, and, sitting there In the
sun, preen tlielr feathers and scrnti.'li
their ribs with their long, ungainly
looking bills. The foot thnt a lot of
people are standing six feet away Is In
so way disturbing to them unless some
tinniHiinorly fellow pokes them with A
cane. In that event the bird gives the
Intruder a white-eyed' look of astonish
ment and titters a protest tn a voice
that Is so getttle and delicate as to
make one wonder where In the world
such an ungainly bird got It. ' Then It
flops Its way to safety beyond tho piers.
If undisturbed tho pelicans often pil
low their heads on their bucks ad take
a nap, but In thnt position they nre
quickly observed by the tourist who
thinks It Is fun to make trouble fot
quiet folks, and they are quickly snnred
by a cane-crook and sent flapping to
the water.
"Only the smaller ducks come about
the hotel, but they are escedlngly lienti
tlful nnd graceful In their movements,
while the gulls In their dancing flight
nre of endless Interest. No one has txled
to teach tho birds to come to hnnd fot
fond, It Is said, but It Is plain thnt any
one with knowledgo nnd tact and love
might establish nn acquaintance there
that would enable him to write a most
Interesting story about our feathered
brothers afloat."
