After Years of Mental and Physical Sufferings Failures with Ordinary Medicines, PAINE’'S CELERY COMPOUND Cures a South Carolina Gentleman, This Marvelous Medicine is Heartily Indorsed by the Ablest and Best Physicians. What blessing it would be to humanity in general if all euffering men and women knew just what Paine's Celery Compound is able to do. The work that cannot be done for sck and euffering by months of experi- menting with the common medicines of the fay 1s successfully carrled victory by Palne's Celery Compound in a few short weeks. The cufe of Mr. Murph proves fully the Assertion made abov After years tatlures, mise agony and despondency, Paine’s Celery Compound made a ‘new man” of one who had become a mere wreck ~one who was fast nearing the grave. Have faith, sufferer! You have a strong feliverer at hand, able to rescue and save you. From today let your hope be cen- tered in Paine's Celery Compound and its mighty power to cure It has never dis appointed any sufferer; it will not fail your case. Mr. R. H. Murph, Rich, 8. C., under the direction of a kind Providence, was led to ise the medicine that “makes sick people well.” His testimony is strong and con- vincing. It shows unmistakeably that Paine's Celery Compound is the true health bullder for weak, weary, sleepless and run- down people at this season. Mr. Murph says: “I have had nervous prostration for sev- eral years. 1 was troubled almost contin- ually with nervous headache, could not sleep well, had become absent-minded and was coniederably run down in flesh and general health. A friend advised me to try Palne’s Celery Compound. 1 used four bottles and am now In excellent health and weigh more than I have for five years, all of which I owe to Paine's Celery Com- pound.

FIVE PER CENT BONDS TO BE ISSUED | | Plan i to Retire Seven Per Pre- | ferred Stock for Honds and Save Difference in the Interest. NEW YORK, April 2 Stockholders of the United States Steel corporation recelved | today the circular letter of the corporation tetting forth the exact terms under which it proposed to retire $200,000,000 of 7| | per cent preferred stock and fssue $250,000,- | | 000 of 5 per cent bonds, thereby increasing | the bonded debt from $300.000,000 to $550,- 000,000, 1s Accompanying this circular was a report of the finance committee which sete forth in detail various reasons why the re- funding plan should be approved, together with a series of resolutions reciting how the plan is to be carried out. The stock- holders report, signed by President Schwab |and Chairman Gary, saye in part | In February, 191, various subsidiary com- panies had under contemplation, and in | many cases actually had begun, the con- | struction of additions to their plants, which in )1y instances would have duplicated | the faci of the subsidlary companies. | The a egate of thesa contemplated ex- nditures was something ke $50,000,000. | As stated in the preliminary report at the time of organization it was hoped much | might be accomplished in the way of avold- | ing wasteful expenditures for unnecessary enlargement of plants and mucn has been | accomplished by co-operation among the | several companies, enabling one to utilize | the facilities of the other. However, owing | largely to advance commitments, 1t was impossible to stop all construction at the time your corporation was organized, and, in order to finish work then already under way, cash payments have been made dur- ing the year to the amount of $15,000,000. [t was not possible to determine how much of this contemplated expenditure of about $50,000,000 would have to be made, | nor in advance of sufficlent experience | would it have been wise to capitalize any part of the $15,000,000 that have been ac- tually expended | Pay Within the next few months will fall due | payments aggregating about $10,000,000 for | properties purchased almost immediately | after your corporation was organized. In liminary report to stockholders payments were described as_‘‘pur- chase-money obligations.” The finance committee is unanimous In its support of the executive committee’s recommenda- | tions and believes that, as desired by the ’ executive committee, §25,000,000 should be made avallable for improvements. The finance committee also recommends capitalizing both the 300,000 expended {during the year for commitments made prior to_your corporation’s organization, and the ${0,000,000 yet to be pald for prop- ertles as above Stated. These three pur- es in the aggregate call for $50,000,000 he problem confronting the finance committee has been to make provision for this $0,000,000 without {ssuing preferred stock, which stock cannot be sold at less than par and which, If sold at par, would be entitled to dividends at the rate of 7 per cent, and would Increase by 3,000,000 the present annual dividend requirements of the corporation | | To Rearrange Capitalization. | After discussion with some of the prin- | cipal stockholders it appeared practically to rearrange your corporation’s capitaliza- | tion (which, in round numbers, now con- sists of $300,000,000 o/ bonds, $500,000,000 of preferred stock and $500,00,000 > common stock) by substititing for $200,0.000 of the prefer tock $200,000,000 of stuking fund sixty-year 5 per cent mortgage gold bonds, end by selling $50,000,000 additional bonds of such Issue for cash. As the preferred stock carries 7 per cent dlyidends, while | the bonds would bear but § per cent In- | t the $30.000.000 desired could in this | be added to the corporate resources o aggregate of the annual charges st and dividends, instead of being $3,600,000, would be decreased as compared with the present sum tofal of these two requirements. The unanimous conclusion of the fin and executive committees {s that, consid- ering the vast aggregate value ' of physical properties, the proposed §: increase of bonds from 0,000,000 is wise and con i erred stock issue being simultaneously reased 40 per cent, or $200,000,000. The consequent $14,000,00 reduction of dividend | payments, as compared with the $12.500,000 increase of interest would result in an a nual saving of $1,500,000, cxceeding by $4% 000 the annual sinking fund contribution of $1,010,000 to be required by the proposed | mortgage, and which, invested at { per cent, would be sufficient in sixty years to pay off all of the $250,000,000 bonds.

In New York a few years since it was thought the elevated road had solved the rapid transit problem. Thirty-five millions of dol- lars are now being expended to oon- struct and equip a subway in which the demands for rapid transit may probably be met.

IRATES IN THE PHILIPPINES are told about by Frank G. Carpenter in his weekly letter. Mr. Carpenter gives a gosslpy account of the criminals who Infest the lslands, particularly the water thieves, who are so numer- ous and daring in their cperations.

In itude for what 1 suppos as the disinterested and kindly disposition for the reason aforesald of the sald Minister Hunter, I did give to Minister Hunter and his family valuable pleces of diamond jewelry of a hundred times the value of the board and lodging at the lega- tion of the United States, and for the un- official services the said Minister Hunter ded to render me and which he was ed to render by the Department of State of the United States Mrs. Barrios further charges that a re- ceipt for $1,000 that Mr. Hunter obtained from Is~dor Schwartz, executor of the Bar- rios estate and which Hunter makes part of the basis of his claim to furniture and valuables, is not bona fide. Mrs. Barrios declares that Hunter never paid a cent to the estate and eald he wanted the recelpt to show the Department of States, should his right to charge for board and lodging be disallowed The original of this aficavit was entrusted to J. 8.

Thankful for Health Restored by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Did you ever stop to realize what keen satisfaction one experiences when we find that some kind and helpful thing we have done for some one else has been sincerely appreciated | At such times, how truly we understand the ex- pression ** it is more blessed to give than to receive.” Think, therefore, of the pleasure and genuine satisfaction Mrs. Pinkham experiences when such letters come to her as the one from Mrs. Roser which we are herewith permitted to publish Think what it means to her; it means first, that one more lovely woman has been relieved from sickness and distress through her assistance ; it means second, that this woman who is cured is so grateful that she wants other women in the land to know of it: and it means lastly that Mrs. Pinkham's claims for Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound are fully sub- stantiated by testimony of such high character that every woman who reads this must believe and hope. To be appreciated is a great pleasure, but to bring peace and happiness to the wuffering is heavenly. Such is the mission of Mrs. Pinkham, and such & letter as the following proves her success ! N N\ Ave,, Denver, Col. Grand-niece of ex-President James K. Polk, and Assistant Grand Secretary ot Colorado, Wyoming, and New Mexico Independent Order of Good Templars. “Dear Mrs. Pingnay —1I have been married for nearly two years, end so far have not been blessed with a child. I have, however, suf- fered with a complication cf female troubles and painlui menstruation, until very recently. “The value of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound was called to my attention by an intimate friend, whose life had simply been a torture with inflammation and ulceration,and a few bottles of your Compound cured her; she can hardly believe it herself todsy, she en- joys such blessed health. I took four bottles of your Compound and consider myself cured. Tam once more in fine he:lth and spirits; my domestic and official duties all seem easy now, for I feel so strong I can do three times what I used to do._ You have a host of friends in Den- ver, and among the best count, Yours very gratefully,—Mrs. Ipa I. Rosgr, 326 18th Ave., Denver, Col.” & ‘When a medicine has been successful in restoring to health s0 many women whose testimony is so unquestionable, you cannot well say, without trying it, “I do not believe it will help me.” If you are i1, don’t hesitate to get a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound at once, and write Mrs. Pinkbam, Lynn, Mass., for special advice—it is free and always helpful. BEWARD. — We havo deporited with the National City Bank of Lynn, $5000, which will be pald to auy person who can find that the above testimonial letter 1s not genuine, or was published before obtaining the writer's special per- mission.
