City, adds her tes- timony to the hundreds of thou- sands on Mrs. Pinkham’s files. When Lydia E. Pinkham’s Reme- dies were first introduced skeptics all over the country frowned upon their curative claims, ‘but as year after year has rolled ‘by and the little group of women who had been cured by the new discovery has since grown into a wast army of hundreds of thousands, doubts and skepticisms have been swept away :as by a mighty tleod, until to-day the great good that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and her other medicines are doing among the women of America is attracting the attention of many of our leading scientists, physicians end thinking peopte. Merit alone could win such fame; wise, therefore, is the woman who for a cure relies upon Lydia E. Pinkham’s VegetableCompound. The Senator’s Gain.

Just a ninety:mile jaunt—tess than the distance ‘from New York to Phila- delphia—and ‘the is as immune from arrest by amybody as if he :were sur- rounded ‘by 2 wall of ice at ‘the North Pole. A journey from the United States that can ‘be comfortably. made aboard MAP OF THE WORLD, SHOWING a comfortable steamship between morning and evening upon smiling seas, and with pleasant company, the fugitive is safe. And this haven of refuge? Cuba. In this year of grace 1903, with Cuba before the world a free country, able to govern itself, to make its laws and to enforce them, and the United States standing in the double position the while as sponsor and protector, the malefactor is absolutely safe in this pleasant isle. That was a far trip which Henry Herrman, the Milwaukee promoter, is said to have taken the other day, when he suddenly disappeared, owing $600,- 000, under decidedly questionable cir- cumstances. He escaped safely to New Orleans, and there took ship to Puerto Cortez, Honduras, with which country the United States has no extradition treaty. He might more easily have taken a vestibuled train to Florida, junketed on to Key West, and from there board- ed the Cuba steamer and been safe for- ever, or until Uncle Sam and the Cu- bans conclude an extradition treaty. With Canada no longer a refuge, it is Cuba now, and just as convenient of access. Once the steamer for Cuba leaves the land and is three miles out at sea the fleeing passenger is as safe as if he were 3,000 miles away and not three. However, the world is gradually closing in on escaping criminals. Year after year finds new treaties and new laws for the arrest of men wanted by Uncle Sam in foreign lands. \ A treaty with Great Britain some years ago made Canada—long the haven of safety for boodlers, bribe- givers and bribe-takers, embezzlers, and thieving bank officials—a danger- ous country to flee to. Mexico, too, was another hunt for wealthy gentlemen who found it desirable to live beyond the bounds ot the Union. But the unsympathetic dons calmly signed an extradition treaty with the United States, and | WASHINGTON’S FINE ean ot oe mie | aed a ts THE REVISED FRONT OF THE PROPOSED UNION STATION. From one side of the District of Columbia to the other the railroad lines are to be rebuilt. When all the work now planned is completed the trackage arrangements and depot facilities in the national capital will be the best that the foremost engin- eering thought and the most lavish expenditure of money ean assure to! any community. The taxpayers of the District of Columbia are to share to the extent of a million and a half dollars the cost of the railroad improvements. The last Congress did not appropri- ate any money for the purpose of meeting this expense, but the matter COUNTRIES THAT ARE CLOSED TO AMERICAN FUGITIVES FROM Far OH Places No Longer a Refuge for the Absconder With His ‘ef =Neighbor's Wealth—Cuba Always a Place of Safety, and the @O Trip Is a Pleasant One. ye xy a og x x NM now the beautifal City of Mexico is no longer tthe abude of distinguished colony of embezziers, absconders, for- gers and boodlers. Brazil, too, has shut down the bars, and so have some of the principal South A&merigun countries. Central America its. still open to receive gen- tlemen who have to leave Uncle Sam’s country jin a hurry. Egypt was a favorite resort for oth- ers, chiefly European soldiers of for- tune. But with Great Britain at the helm mo American ‘is now safe under the soft tropic skies of Cairo. Tunis and Tripoli :are crossed off the list of safe places, ‘too, because: France runs one and Turkey the other, and both have extradition treaties of the iron- clad with Uncie Sam. Algiers is also under French dominion, as is Mada- gascar, so, Mr. Cashier, cut these off your list when you leave between days. ANTARCTIC OCEAN (IN BLACK) THE FOREIGN COUNTRIES IN WHICH AN AMERICAN FUGITIVE MAY ESCAPE ARREST. In his hasty fight the gentleman with the valise full of greenbacks and other negotiable evidences of wealth, might think that Borneo, Celebes, Sumatra and New Guinea, or any of the other of the East Indies, would be just the place. Nay, nay! The Dutch boss Borneo, Celebes and Sumatra, and, with the Germans, divide up New Gui- nea. , Africa is pretty well divided up be tween France, Great Britain, Germany and Belgium, so expansion has been a pretty hard blow for the man -who thinks the United States is an un- healthy place. Cruel Argentina took over all Patagonia, so one more place is closed. Denmark owns Greenland and Iceland, so even these inhospitable climes turn the cold shoulder to the weary traveler with the gold-laden gripsack. Japan is also shut to the fugitive, but Corea, is open. China occupies a peculiar position. The Chinese won’t arrest you, Mr. Embezzler, but under the law any American consul may ex- ercise the powers of policeman, sheriff and magistrate all in one, and throw you into a Chinese jail—if he pays your board—till Uncle Sam can send somebody to bring you home. There is no extradition treaty with Siam, but the Siamese would be only too glad to cast you into a dungeon cell if Uncle Sam asked the favor, for King Chulalongkorn is anxious to be friends with the Americans, who en- tertained so lavishly his two sons, the Crown Prince Somdetch Chowfa Maha Vajiravaudh and Prince Chakrabongse. The world to-day is a small place, and is getting smaller every year for the man who flees arrest in the United States. He is now limited, with one exception, to Morocco, Siam, Ecuador, Paraguay, Uruguay, Bolivia, the little Central American republics, Persia, Corea and one or two semi-barbarous lands in Central Asia. In any of them, bar Central Asia, and perhaps Moroc- co, the authorities might take it into their heads to turn Mr. Fugitive over will probably be taken up next win- ter and arranged so that the District work in connection with the under- takings may go forward simultane- ously with that of the railroad com- | panies. In the meantime there. is much work to be accomplished by the railroads in which the District will not be financially concerned. The style of construction, as shown by the plans recently approved, is a twin tunnel, or two single track tun- nels, separated from but running par- allel to each other. The tunnel tracks will enter the union station twenty feet below the level of the main track platform. To bring trains NEW UNION JVSTICE to Uncle Sam, just for friendship’s sake. But he’s perfectly safe in Cuba, nine- ty miles away. ‘New Kind of Iron. Tron that will not get hot is the Kind of metal that is wanted for rails on’ railways and in other positions where the expansion of metal im hot tem- peratures is a source of danger or great inconvenience. A firm has just produced am iron containing a proportion of an alloy that is impervious to heat, and the result is a metal that will not ex- pand. An oil-containing lens, recently in- vented, enables the photographer to take a snapshot of such places as the- aters without the aid of a flashlight. An ut-of-door exposure of fifteen minutes on a pitch dark night will se- cure a good picture of the scenery, while one minute will be sufficient if the moon js shining. This lens is based on the well-known fact that certain oils have very great light-reflecting powers, and the in- ventor claims for it an immense ad- vantage over the all-glass lens. Russian Care of Railroad Men. The care of the railroad men is one of the philanthropies to the credit of the Russian government. The Rus- sian railroad hospital is a combina- tion hospital for the sick and injured and a home for invalids. It is usually surrounded by a large tract of land, with ample buildings for the comfort not only of the invalids but their fam- ilies. These are garden tracts in con- nection which the families can work for their own profit. The government provides a pension fund of $60,000,000, it is said, and wisely invested it yields a generous sum annually for distribu- tion among those who suffer from ac- cidents. And Still a Miss! Talk about your Golcondas, your Cripple Creeks, and your Ellis county shales! How is this for a treasure story from the Atchison Globe: “Visitors at the home of Miss Ab- bie Barber, southwest of town, say she is the most all around capable woman of their acquaintance; that she is a fine housekeeper, perfect cook, splendid manager, and can make a stylish dress, trim a pretty hat, and play the piano well, besides being a genius in raising chickens and under- standing how to attend to cows.”— Kansas City Journal. Queen’s Two Hundred Rings. Queen Christina of Spain has no fewer than 200 rings of a royal kind. She makes a point of wearing them all in turn, changing the rings on her fingers every time she changes her | dress, which she does four or five | times a day. DEPOT on these lower tracks up to the level of those on the viaduct will require | a grade from the union station to K street north. As these tracks for the through trains must go over H street, accord- ing to the law and the plans, it is said it will be necessary to cut down that thoroughfare some eight or nine feet. It was thought at first that the depression of H street would be only a few feet at the eastern end of the viaduct on account of the natural rise Address Dr, Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, Qhio, for free advice. bling, Sleepless, Bloodless.

By far the great- est number of female troubles are caused directly by catarrh. These women despair: of recovery. Female trouble is so common,. so prevalent, that they accept it as almost: inevitable. The greatest obstacle in the way of recovery is that they do not under- ! stand that it is catarrh which is the source of their illness.
