THE SAN FRANCI 0 CALL, FRIDAY, MARCH 29, 1895 OAKLAND HAS AN land, and the Jocal agen INSURANCE WAR. RATE-CUTTING AMONG ALL THE COMPANIES LOCALLY REp- RESENTED, SHOT BY AN EX-SOLDIER L. H. TUuRNER UsEs A SHOTGUN ON His TORMENTERS. NATIVE SoNs. The insurance rate war has reached Oak- : pent yesterday afternoon in a wild scurry after new busi- ness or a renewal of expiring policies. Shortly after noon a telegram came to (_he effect that the San Francisco Board of Underwriters had declared all rates off in Alameda County, and cutting began forth- with. At 1 o’clock a delegation of San Trancisco solicitors arrived, and their efforts to secure business, combined with those of the lc men, kept the merchants and property-owners in a turmoil until nightfall. He retofore, since the trouble in the Board of Underwriters began to be manifest to all, more or less slashing has been going on, but generally on a defensive line, local men simply striving to hold their own. Yesterday, however. all pretense of cau- tion was thrown aside, and the rates offered by some agencies carrying large lines were | simply astonishing. A weli-known liquor man whose busing is considered a fair for years paid 43¢ per cent. are about expiring, and he yesterday signed an agreement to reinsure “with the mpanies carrying Lis business for 13 per cent. Colonel W. M. Kent, whose establish- ments on Twelith street and on Broadway arewelkknown, had just paid his premiums on several thousands of dollars of insur- ance, but gracefully accepted a 50 per cent cash rebate and ailowed the enterprising azent to write him a couple of new pol- icies for a good amount. __Other agencies, who felt that they were in danger of losing large blocks of busi- ness, cut rates to even a greater extent, and in at lcast one instance 80 per cent re- bate was offered and, of course, accepted. _The reason given for the war is that the New Zealand, Continental, Home, Pheenix and other companies began rate-cutting, and in order to be in the. swim the other concerns had to follow sui In the meantime the place r risk, has His policies t. pubtic 3 b saving thousands of dollars in premiums, and the agents are wondering whether they will be able to pay rent tinues. A. G. Davis, the local agent of the New Zealand Insurance Compan of the most active in the v aiter busi- ness,says that the split came on the propo- ion of agents’ compensation. ““The ori f this trouble dates back a ".he said. “At that time the Pacific nce Union changed its constitution > provide that agents should receive ion, only as their compensation. ew Zealand and a few other com- panies_refused to abide by the decision of the union, believing that ‘it could get bet- ter service from its employes by payir them salaries rather than ‘commissions, 1 bich in the best times paid buta bare iving. “The New Zealand Company was fined, refused to pay the penalty, and the n fearing a split dié not enforce the hment. Then several large English anies withdrew from the- compact, g as their reason that’ .the union had wn so weak that it conld not enforce rules and was of no further use to its mbers. These non-board companies e made competition so keen that the esent war has resuited.” Tk is no telling how long the present ting will continue according to agents, but each one declares his in- n of staying with the fight as long as Shot By an Ex-Seldier. , an ex-soldier who lives on ear Twenty-fourth and sub- d him by the Gov- ound received during the vil var, is locked up in the City Prison a charge of assault with a deadly n consequence of the too free use ws his pension g into trouble frequently s predilection for alcoholic stim- The boys in the neighborhood of 1g bave been teasing him for the ew days, and Turner swore revenge. was standing in front of his when nk_Timmons began twitting him about his drinking.

In the melee the weapon was discharged, the load striking Brereton in the right forearm and tearing the flesh in a frightful rer. The pol before the fracas in occurred, but his stery is not v.the police. Brereton will prob- y lose his arm in consequence of the wound. A New Schoolhouse. The: Trustees of the- Fruitvale School District have awarded the contract for build the. new school to Cunningham ing; which is to cost §13,000, ed at'the corner of Boston ave- nue and School street, fronting 143 feet on Boston avenue and 58 feet on School street. There will be four classrooms on each of the two floors, with the addition of a iibrary and principal’s room. 1In the base- ment will be located playrooms for boys and girls. There were twenty-one bidders for the contract. Value of a Doctor's Services. The testimony in the suit of Tait against the estate of Mor: in the Superior .Court yesterday developed some startling testimon ing value set upon their services regard- by sur- geons. . Dr. E. H. Woolsey testified that he would deem the service of keeping John W. Mackay or James G. Fair a‘i\'e for thirty- five days worth $1,000,000. He considered that Dr. Tait’s services to Mr. Goldberg were worth $10,000 to $20,000. The case goes on to-day. Cassasa’s Concert To-night. To-night at the Macdonough Theater Cassasa’s band will give a grand concert for the benefit of the fund for the Native Sons’ celebration which will be held in Oakland April 22 to 26 ineclusive. The advance sale of tickets has been large and a handsome sum will doubtless be realized from the entertainment. The merchants of the city have exceeded the expectations of the " committee in charge of the soliciting work of subseri; tions for the affair, and everything ints to a gathering of sons of thefzolden West far above any affair of the kind ever held on the coast. g The members of the Grand Parlor will tender the citizens of Oakland a vote of thanks for their liberality in the matter of funds. Following is the programme for the celebration : Sunday, April 21—Reception of dele the train and escorting them to their headquarters. Monday morning, April 22—Grand Parlor ion. 5 .'lzn‘;n‘:hy evening, April 22—Reception &t the tes at erent and clerks if the war con- City Hall Park and open-air concert. Tender- ing the freedom of the city to the delegates by the Mayor. Tuesday morning, April 23—Grand parade through \hedprlnc pal streets of the city of the delegates and parlors of Native Sons, accom- panied by civie societies of the eity. Tuesday afternoon, April 23—Drive about the city and suburbs. Tuesday evening, April 28—Session of the Grand Parlor, Wednesda Parlor all ds Wednesday eveni; 5 A Thursday, April 25—Ses Parlor ali day.

The members of the University Glee Club have been making elaborate prepara- tions for the intercollegiate concert which takes place this evening at the Auditorium. San Francisco. They have been practicing daily for several weeks past, and hope to be as successful in the performance to- night as they have on previous occasions. The natural rivalry between the two col- leges has been the meansof affording a great stimulus to active work in the prep- aration for the event. ‘This will be the first occasion upon which the two colleges have entered jointly into the carrying out of a performance or un- dertakii'z of any kind,and the novelty itself has been the means of interesting many in the affair. It bromises to be a great society event, as well as an effort to please the musical sense of the spectators. The joining of hands of the two universi- ties and the ih‘nl]iug together of the car- dinal and the blue and gold shows that there is still a feeling of friendsbip be- tween them, though Berkeley has been r‘orited twice in football by her sister col- ege. The reported difficulty over the arrange- ments for the concert is unfounded. There has been nothing but harmony from the very beginning of the project. Crowded Public Schools. | Much complaint has been raised lately concerning the overcrowded condition of the Berkeley public schools and several prominent citizens have taken it upon themselves to look into the matter and de- termine just which schools are over- crowded and to what extent. The reports of the principal of the high school, which are published from time to time, show a rapidly increasing attendance, and with this increased attendance and no provision made for extra facilities the schools are crowded to overflowing. The new charter recently passed by the citizens of Berkeley will increase the amount of money to be used for school purposes, and it has come atan opportune time, for the present condition of affairs is conducive in no way to the health, happi- ness and intellectual development of the children. The ens are speculating as to whom they shall nominate for School Trustees at the coming convention, for upon them will fall the responsibility of improving the public school service. Notes. Yesterday's issue of the university daily i was devoted exclusively to the names, records and prospects of the candidates for aces on the track team which will go t in June. Since the meeting of lEe student body on Tuesday to raise money for defraying the expenses of the trip, about $250 more has been subscribed toward the loan, making a total of $1150 now in ght. About $1000 more is expected from the benefit_field day, to be given April 20 by the clubs of the Coast Athletic Association. A new law which the Governgr signed on Wednesday afternoon will prevent bar- ber-shops and bathrooms in Berkeley from being open on Sunday after 12 o'clock noon. At a special meeting of the Peralta Fire Company, on Wednesday evening, it was voted to hold an entertainment and ball in Lorin Hall Saturday evening, April 27. ALAMEDA, James Rohan, a young man aged about 23 years, met with a fatal accident yester- day morning at the transfer of the narrow- gauge and broad-gauge railroads, near the Pacific Coast Oil Works. Rohan was one of a gang of men engaged in transferring timbers from narrow-gauge to broad-gauge freight-cars. Rohan had just begun work, and had given a last blow with a sledge-hammer to the stake which hetd the big pile of lumber in place on a flatcar when the accident oc- curred that cost him his life. When he saw the timbers falling he made a desper- ate effort to get out of the way, but the at- tempt was futile. He was caught between the cars and had his skull fractured and neck broken. His companions hurried to his assistance and lifted the weight from his body. He was carried to the residence of his brother on Pacific avenue and_Drs. { W. O. Smith and Bull were summoned. It apparent he could not long survive his injuries, and died six nours later. Opposition Telephone Company. An agent for an opposition telephone company was in Alameda yesterday solicit- | ing orders. When the new company secures 300 subscribers they will wire the city. The price for the service will be $2 per month and no extra charge for switch- ing. The company is also soliciting orders in Oakland ang Berkeley, and after it gets established on this side of the bay will in- vade San Francisco. Found Guilty. S. A. Wells, theexpressman who battered William Bannon on Tuesday evening be- cause he was instrumental in having an attachment levied on property at 2021 Pacific avenue, was found guilty of battery yesterday and fined $10 by Justice Swasey. | The counter charge of Wells that Bannon disturbed his peace was dismissed after a trial. Delinquent Property Sold. The property delinquent for assessments for the opening of Buena Vista avenue, from Sherman to Benton streets, was sold at auction yesterday by Superintendent Frodden. Bidding was lively, and al of the delinquent assessment dl:mperty was sold, each purchaser taking the whole for the amount of the assessment. ¥ell From a Ladder. Fred Sunkel met with a painful mishap Thursday afternoon. He was trimming tops on"his property on Railroad avenue and Walnut street when the ladder upset and he fell upon the pavement with such force as to render him unconscious. ‘Will Cross Bats. The baseball team of the University Academy will cross bats with a picked nine of the Young Men's Christian Asso- ciation this afternoon at Piedmont Park grounds, S0LD AT AUCTION. The Dry-Goods Firm of Philip/ Kennedy Passes Away. An auction sale of the Philip Kennedy stock of dry goods took place yesterday at the rooms of the Board of Trade, with Attorney Joseph Rothchild as the witty and persuasive auctioncer. There was a number of keen bidders, the highest of whom was Hale Brothers, incorporated. The stock was knocked down to them for $27,000, or about 5 cents on the dollar of the original cost. When the debts of the bankrupt firm are liquidated there will be a little money left for Mrs. Kennedy. Upon tie death of Philip Kennedy, about 4 year ago, it is alle eflIL hat the gusinel! was on a safe basis, but mismanagement soon brought it to ruin and the auction block. Hale Brothers will remove the entire contents of the store to their house, at 937-941 Market street, for a large sale, ————— Professor Goffrie’s Benefit. At Golden Gate Hall to-night the complimen- tary concert gotten up by well-known society ladies in behalf of this veteran violinist will be given. Besides the great virtuoso Remenyi, Henry Heyman and other distinguished artists will appear. A full house will undoubtedly be in attendance. — e “If you don’t take Langley’s Directory, you don’t get the names.” THE NEW HARBOR COMMISSIONER, EDWARD A. COLNON T00K HIs SEAT AS PRESIDING OFFI- CER YESTERDAY. STRIKE ON THE HUMBOLDT. A New EiGuTY-FIvE-FooT PILE- DRIVER COMMENCES TREE- PLANTING. The steamer Humboldt, which arrived from Eureka yesterday, came down with a new crew, the result of a walkout on the part of the old hands at Eureka. A reduc- tion of wages was the cause of the strike. The United States steamer Patterson is alongside of the Jackson-street wharf tak- ing aboard provisions and otherwise pre- paring for the coming six months’ cruise surveying in Sonthern Alaska. She is com- manded by Lieutenant-Commander E. K. Moore, and the following are her officers: Lieutenants R. F. Lopes, H. E. Rogers, H. Rodman, Ensign W. B. Hoggatt, Past As- sistant Surveyor Robert M. Kennedy, Past | I and will pay much more to have one com- | partment reserved for two or three persons | than for seats in a parlor car with all its ‘I comforts of freedom of movementand priv- ileges of smokingand reading-rooms. The new corridor car retains the seclusive fea- ture of the compartment. ~Pullman dining ! and sleeping cars have also been tried, but | with indifferent success, o far as the Eng- | lish travelers are concerned. The *whole- | sale herding together” is the objection. | One company had a number of third-class | cars built on the American model, but | even the third-class -passengers wouldn’t ride on them and they had to be recon- structed. The corridor coaches differ slightly in construction on different railways. 'Fhey are only used yet on the principal through trains between the chief cities of the king- dom, as between London and Glasgow or Edinburgh or on the southern routes for | the Continent. The two classes, first and | third, ave still retained and are likely to remain. The second class has been abol- ished in recent years. The new coaches look almost exactly like ordinary American cars from the outeide. They average sixty feet in length, run on two bogle trucks and are connected at the ends by vestibuled | platforms, but instead of being entirely | open inside with a gangway down the mid- | dle they are divided into compartments | and a passageway runs along one side of | the car. All the compartments open into ! this corridor and thus communication is obtainéd from each compartment through | the length of the train. Each first-class ' compartment seats four persons, two on a | side, and each third-class conipartment is | made to seat six persons. | _ There are in each car one compartment | for smoking, one reserved for women and | children, a_lavatory for men and one for women. There is a small compartment in the middle of some cars intended for stor- ing the hand baggage of 'passengers. The A AN EIGHTY-FIVE FOOT TREE-PLANTER. [Sketched by a “Call™ artist.] Asssistant Engineer H. G. Leopold, Draughtsmen H. G. Ford, H. Rodman Jr. and W. Aappleton. The Patterson sails April 10, to return on about the same date of September. The ship Griffith went to sea with six non-union men, and it is alleged by the strikers that they cost $10 apiece. The barkentine Tropic Bird and bark Santiago took union crews, and the bark J. G. Bor- land went to sea with union fishermen. The labor of getting men for the coasters &rows more diécult, and the Ship-cwners’ Association is making every effort to sup- })rlythevessels. Japanese are being brought om the interior and shipped, and a pre- mium of $5 a head is being given for the little brown sailors. It was at first urged that the union call out its men from all vessels on the coast, but it- was thought unnecessary, and that important order was not issued. It is reported that 180 men will be needed for the vessels here within the next two weeks. The bark Colusa, which was out 113 days between Puget Sound and Hongkong, was reported yesterday as having arrived safel at Shanghai. She was detained by rough weather, but happily escaped without dis- aster. It is now reported that the mysterious schooner that collided with the schooner Laura May, whicn arrived in this port on the 24th inst., was the Beulah. Shereports having struck an unknown schooner on the night of the 16th, losing her bowsprit in the collision. Edward A. Colnon, the new president of the State Harbor Commission, took his place in that body yesterday, and his com- mission from Governor Budd was placed on file. President Bassett, u‘fon retirirg from the chair, made a short address, reviewing the work of the commission and welcoming his successor to a continuance of those labors. # The lease of the China Basin to the val- ley road will be executed in afew weeks, though the question is practically settle as agreed upon at the Sacramento confer- ence. A new tree-planter in the shape of an 85- foot pile-driver was built and up-ended at the foot of Clay street yesterday, and the work of sending down the great timbers for house foundations was commenced there. Hundreds of piles will be driven 70 feet into the soft bay mud, and a concrete flooring will be laid in them. So deep is the alluvial soil along the bay that piles are often driven down three 60-foot sticks end to end until a depth of 180 feet has been reached before ha: n or any solid stratum is found. ith the rope that raises the great hammer the pile is uplifted in place and the big 3600-pound mass of iron is dropped, relentlessly forc- ing the long redwood loz deep into the earth at every blow. A large building of several stories will take the place of the old dreary shacks that have so long been an eyesore in that locality. This tall driver1s destined to begin the work of build. ing foundations for the new blocks that are to arise on the water front—fit companions for the grand union_ferry building that is to ornament that important gateway to the city. ENGLISH RAILROAD OARS. American Ideas Are Being Adopted in Their Construction. As much as twenty years ago Pullman cars were introduced into England and have been run on a few trains of one or two roads ever since, but they have never been popular, and have been used mainly IfiyAmencam and other foreigners. The nglish prefer the single compartment compartments are accessible from the ex- terior of the cars by single doors, as well as through the corridor, which itself has doors along its length to permit of speedy ingress and egress. The windows of the corridor are extra large, and afford excel- lent facilities forseeing the scenery. Cars of similar design are in use on some Conti- nental railways, but the English news- pavers give full credit to the ‘“‘American idea” of their cars. They say that these compartment-corridor carriages give all the safety of the American car, with many added comforts and conveniences. ~ All the cars of both classes are handsomely fin- ished and upholstered.—Chicago Herald. VILL FORM A BOYS' CLUB. PURPOSE OF A NEW ORGANIZA- TION INCORPORATED YES- TERDAY. IT WiLL BE CARRIED OuUT ON THE PLAN OF SIMILAR CONCERNS IN THE EAsT. San Francisco is to have boys’ clubs just as in the larger Eastern cities, and the boys who now roam the streets will be taken care of by some one more congenial than a blue-coated policeman, and an institution where they will learn things that will be useful in making them good citizens when they grow up, instead of leaving them to the tender mercies of the “curfew law” and the education of the jail. The scheme has worked excellently in the East, and there is every prospect of its working equally well here. cludes the establishment of dormitories, where the homeless wanderers may sleep; classrooms and intelligent teachers, where the seekers after knowledge may attend and learn; libraries full of books upon all subjects, which may interest the miscel- laneous assortment of boys who attend the institution, and files of the leading period- icals of the world. Nor is the social side of the scheme neg- lected ; it is this in fact that is expected to first attract the youth of the city, and so entertainments of a varied character are to be frequently given. It is not alone the boys ome street who are to be helped, how- ever, but any other boy who feeling within himself the need of such a helping hand, stretches forth and grasps it. i In the articles of incorporation, which were filed {amrdAV, just such an institu- tion is ontlined. Directing the local insti- tution will be: Mrs. Mar; . Kincaid, George Otis Mitchell, Sidney Piexotto, Loring P. Rixford, Emma Wellman, Flor- ence ]fnndborg, Julia George, Florence C. Paul, F, G. Burgess, Mrs. 0. E. Derby and Mrs. Annie C. Crane. 2 It is intended to_push the perfection of the plan as rapidly as fiuble, and to make it as if not a better organiza- tion than can be found elsewhere. ————— Florida has wonderful recuperative pow- ers.

LOW COST OF THE JOURNEY, PRINCIPAL CITIES OF THE STATE TO BE VISITED BY THE TOURISTS. The Half-million Club has made ar- rangements for the success of the Santa Barbara and Los Angeles fiestas to the ex- tent of preparing an itinerary to take in Bakersfield, Tulare, Fresno, Merced, Stock- ton, Sacramento, Auburn, Newcastle, Pen- ryn, Napa, Santa Rosa and Petaluma. This trip will cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $22 for each way, and those who wish to remain together and oc- cupy the Pullmans will have to pay more. Even this will be but a trifling expense, as all the places named can be viewed at little cost. By the time each excursionist lands in San Francisco he will find that the en- tire cost nas been less than $100. When he lands at the foot of Market street he will have a better idea of the State at a slight cost than he ever conceived. If the itinerary as arranged by that com- mittee is followed, a trip by the way will show the beauties of Santa Bar- bara Valley, the San Joaquin Valley, the Sacramento section, the famous Sonoma region, with its grapes and fruits, and the excursionists cannot help but come back with the idea that California should be the first State in the Union. This will not cost those participating over $100, includ- ing all expenscs, and yet they will have seen the principal places of the State. To-day the executive committee of the fiesta, as represented in Northern Cali- fornia, will meet in room 29, Mills build- ing, to decide what cities shall be included in the itinerary. The programme, as pre- viously stated, will not be changed, but it is more than likely that other gities will be added by the committee. As the various towns are placed upon the list, so will the ndvan(afes be given the ‘‘tourist.” From Los: Angeles a trip (one way) has been arranged at the slight cost of $22. This will take in such towns as the com- mittee decide are worthy of visitation. None of the towns named in the itinerary asoutlined will be omitted, yet others may be added if the transportation committee so decides. In order to carry out such a projeot it is | necessary to have funds. The Merchants’ Association has through its finance com- mittee raised about $5000, which will be used to advance the movement. The money raised by the committee will be | held as a gnarantee for the special trains to be run both ways, and also to see that San Francisco and the northern part of the State is represented at the fiesta, Communications have been received from several points, but among the most striking was one from Redding, which read as follows: REDDING, Cal., March 25, 1895. Hugh Craig. San Francisco, Cal.—DEAR SIR: We mnotice with considerable interest the proposition of the intended excursion to be given by the different organizations of your city, and that_it seems at this time to be the intention to head it in the direction of the northern cities of the State; also that Red Bluff has been given out as the most northern poxm,tw which we would enter amost friendly TOtest. p“'lth due respect to the promoters of this great advertising scheme we would ask that ou give us some light in the matter or cause t to be furnished us from the proper source, that we may take some action to induce them not to stop at Red Bluff, but to run to Redding and see the most prosperous city and_county in the north and a display of prodmgs that will compare favorably iwith the beft. Respectfully yours. FRED F. DUSTIN, Secretary Shasta County Board of Trade. The excursion will leave San Francisco ‘Wednesday, ApriJ 17, on a_“flyer,”” which has been secured from the Southern Pacific by the efforts of the committee. This train is to land in Santa Barbara at 9 o’clock the next morning, and return from there the same evening as far as Los Angeles, where a stop-over will be made. This will per- mit persons holding round-trip tickets to take in the fiesta at Los Angeles on the *‘big day” and hold their tickets until Sun- day night. Those who desire to make a tour of the State, or in other words take advantage of the itinerary, will leave Los Angeles Sunday night, and stop at the places selected by the committee on trans- portation. 1t may be decided to limit the number of excursionists to 125, as that is all the special train can carry; but from the state- ments of members of the transportation committee it is more than likely that an The plan in--| additional train may be arranged for to- day. BEARDSLEYISH IN OHICAGO. Students Drawing Shell-Eyed Women With Worms in Their Hair. The epidemic at present raging among the art students of Chicago made its ap- pearance in virulent form about one year ago. There had beena few scattered cases be- fore that time, but the malady had not taken a firm hold, and the bacilli were not yet generally distributed. The disease should be known as “Beards- leyism,” although its victims generally re- gard it as high art up to date. Albert Beardsley, a young Englishman, deliber- ately started the trouble, and succeeded in having himself talked about and imitated, which is practically the same as being suc- cessful. The old-fashioned way of learning to draw pictures was to study perspective, light and shade, exact form, anatomy and a few other things. Students went to the art institute and sketched for hours at a time to get Hercules absolutely correct, with every trace of muscle shown. They studied the ancient modes of statuary and the p-intinis ‘which revealed the speaking likenessesof men and women. That was before the malady appeared. Mr. Beardsley’s pictures came along and the traditions of thirty centuries were shattered. The new kind of art demonstrated that a woman's neck is shaped like a letter S, that the waist may be thin to nothingness, that the hair may radiate fram the hea in rigid ringlets, that the feet may be of the outline of pruning hooks. Mr. Beardsley's strongest ‘‘things" con- sisted of great dashes of circling black lines with a pair of frightened eyes peer- ing onttt _through the "bubbling mass of spaghetti. P’} ere were hands which had three tines each like a fork, and there were figures gich fi‘mnfed q:r indvli]o.l;uon of :11 own laws of gravity an apparentl; been dried over a barrel. Bt 24 “They’ll come around in time,” said an instructor. ‘‘Just now they’re drawing shell-eyed women with worms in their hair, but they’ll get over that all right— most of them will. Others will have to be cared for. We had something of the same trouble when Oscar Wilde came over here.”’—Chicago Record. REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS. Lora B.

There- fore all will be interested in the candid expression of this bright young lady of Denver, Col., who writes Mrs. Pinkham as follows : — # % This is the first opportunity I have found to write and thank you for the good your Com- pound has done me. I feel better than I have for years. It seems a seven days’ wonder to my friends. Where I used to be pitied, wverything is the opposite, and there is not a day but what some one wants to know what I have done to work such a wonder. 4 ¢ Before taking the Compound I had constant headaches; was constipated; bloated; eyes weak, with watery whites; bearing down pains; pains in the small of my back and right side; took cold very easily, which always caused intense pain in ovaries. I did not want to go anywhere or see any one. “T was called cross, but I could not heélp it, feeling as I did. T could nét lift anything or do any hard work without suffering for days afterward. Menstru- ation lasted from eight to ten days, the first two or three days being in almost constant pain, day and night. &n % Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- pound has made a new girl of me; am now well, happy, and strong.” Yours truly, A STENOGRAPHER, Denver, Col. COAL OIL Best and Safest Oil Manufactured. EXPRESSLYrAMILY USE P.
