THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, “My Head ! My Head!” Sudden Blindness and Dizzi- ness. What Causes It? The t step to the finding of a cure v disease is to find its cause. And table fact that the cause of a may be quite remote from its rifestations. Headache, spots before eves and dizziness are only symptoms ease. When the experienced phy- sician is confronted with these symptoms a woman he enquires at once as to condition of the womanly health. knows that the genefal health is ately related to the local womanly health, and from the very symptoms he argues derangement or disease of the organism.

Discovery’ and six vials of his ‘Pleasant Pellets.’ I also followed special directions for home treatment (which he advised), and the result was wonderful. My bad feelings left me and I can work with comfort now. I give all the praise to Dr. Pierce and his remedies, for I believe they saved my life. Our family physician said I could not gel well. “°fou can publish this, for T am willin, to let others know how much I suffere and what cured me when others failed.” “Favorite Prescription” makes weak women strong and sick women well. It establishes regularity, and dries the of- fensive drains which undermine the strength. It heals inflammation and ul- ceration and cures female weaknses. It positively cures the nervousness, sleep- lessness, backache and similar ailments which are caused hy disease of the womanly organs. It is the best prepara- tive for maternity. It cures mornin, sickness, gives t physi- cal vitality anj ngo’; and makes the baby’s advent practically painless. It con- tains no alcohol and is absolutely free from opium, cocaine and all other nar- cotics. It cannot disagree with the most delicate.

In the letter of Mrs. Douglass given below, she says that in ten years of suffering she tried seven doctors with- out permanent benefit. Her family phy- sician said she could not get well.

It has cured thousands of women of the most distressing forms of womanly disease.

The wonderful cura- tive power of this medicine has been best proven in the cures of long standing diseases which had failed to yield to the treatment of local physicians, and which in many cases, as in that of Mrs. Doug- glass, had been pronounced incurable. Many women write to Dr. Pierce for his medical] advice and the wise and fatherly counsel which are the outcome of more than thirty years of practice and success. Dr. Pierce gives to every sick woman the privilege of f7ze consultation with him by letter. This offer is not to be confounded with those offers of free medical advice made by men or women who are not physicians and are not qual- fied legally or medically to give the advice they offer. All correspondence is held as sacred, and the written counfidences of women are gnarded by the same strict profes- sional privacy observed by Dr. Pierce in his daily personal consultation with sick women.

Account of His Alleged Sui- cide Is Permitted in a Japanese Paper. VICTORIA, B. C., Nov. 20.—In.a Jap- anese paper, which arrived on the liner Glenogle to-day, it is declared 'that Li Hung Chang took poison to hasten his death. Realizing that his end was near, and that there was no hope of relief from suirering except in death, thé aged Chi- nese statesman is said to have committed suicide. Japanese papers received on the Glen- ogle have long articles commenting on the events in the career of Li Hung Chang, and they all agree, that the big mistake of his life was his policy toward Korea, which brought about the war with Japan. Others add that he was about to repeat the mistake by his advances to Russia. It is said that when he realized that the end was near he telegraphed to Prince Ching, urging_ him to return to Peking, and advised that Yung Lu be appointed his successor. He urged other leaders to come to Peking and take up the fight for their country. In spite of Li's precarious condition M. Lessary, the Russian Minister, continued to press the dying statesman to sign the Manchurian treaty.

BOISE, Idaho, Nov. 29.—United States Senator Henry Heitfeld of this State*has addressed a letter to D. H. Andrews of this city, chairman of the Populist State Central Committee, announcing his with- drawal from the Populist party and his affiliation with the Democracy. ~After re- cifing the history of the Populist party the Jetter says: “‘Since both the Democratic and People’s parties now are striving for the same pur- keep up separate organizations, since by combining forces in name as well as in fact we can better subserve the interests of the great principles we advocate.” He concludes by asking Andrews to call the State committee together, expressing the hope that it will approve his action and unite with him in an affiliation with the dominant element of the Democratic party. When seen to-night about the let- ter Chairman Andrews indicated that he did not approve of Senator Heitfeld's a tion and that' he would reply to the Sen- ator’s letter instead of calling the com- | mittee tozether.

CONNELLSVILLE, Pa., Nov. 20.—At the Lambert mines, near Masontown, eight men, after dropping 700 feet down a mine shaft, were all brought to the sur- face, living, but with three dying and the others probably fatally hurt. Just as they got aboard the cage the cable parted and the cage dropped. The cage on the opposite side was immediate- ly loaded with a rescue party, who found the men lying unconscious on the floor of the cage with crushed chests, broken arms and legs and in some cases the bones protruding through the flesh. One man’s skull was fractured. Two of the injured miners were Ameri- cans and the other six Hungarlans. The names of but three of them could be learned. They are Peter Babyoka, Steve Lohtinska and Vincent Conaty. PASSENGERS ARE HURT IN TRAIN COLLISION Special Crashes Into a Freight Bs- cause of a Misunderstanding of Orders.

Turkey May Soon Be Re- quired to Apprehend ‘the Brigands. PUUERE i S0 < Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. ‘W., WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.—Apprehen- | sion concerning the fate of Miss Stone ! has been aroused as the result of the re- . iteration by the press dispatches of the statement that Miss Stone and her com- panion, Mme. Tsilka, have been murdered by the brigands who abducted them. ‘\ Eddy, secretary of the American lega- ' tion at Constantinople, is making an in- | vestigation of the report. He has cabled Secretary Hay that he does not place.any | credence in it. 1 As a general reminder to the authorities of Turkey the United States training ship | Dixie left Naples to-day for Smyrna. If | the brigands have escaped into Turkey ! this Government will require the Turkish ' Government to apprehend and surrender them to Bulgaria for punishment. So far as Bulgaria Is concerned immediately up- on the receipt of proof of Miss Stone’s death a demand will be made for full \reparalmn, the punishment of the persons involved in the abduction of Miss Stone and indemnity for the heirs of the mur- dered woman. N SOFIA, Nov. 29.—With reference to the reports of the death of Miss Ellen M. Stone, the captive American missionary, the .Government holds that if the brig- ands, exasperated by the delay, have mur- dered Miss Stone, Dickinson, the diplo- matic agent of the United States, is re- sponsible for the delay and not the Gov- ernment of Bulgaria. The latter has not interfered with Dickinson's emissaries, nor did the Government move troops after Dickinson opened communication with the | | brigands. | _According to a letter dated Dubnitza, | November 28, Miss Stone and Mme. Tsilka are still alive. The letter in question further says that at a recent meeting of the committee held in Dubnitza it was | definitely decided not to kill the prisoners | upon any pretext whatever. Nevertheless the committee insisted upon the payment of the full amount of the ransom. A naive suggestion is current in political circles here to the effect that the United States should force Turkey to pay the re- mainder of the ransom and as soon as: the prisoners are in safety force Bulgaria to punish those persons guilty of their | | abduction. | STREET FIGHT LEADS TO CAPTURE OF A ROBBER Thug Gets Into the Toils Through| Taking His Uncle’s Val- | uables. | SAN JOSE, Nov. 29.—A fist fight and | the arrest of Joaquin Higuera on the charge of battering his uncle, Manuel | Higuera, to-day, led to the identification of thé former as the footpad who held up and robbed Charles Figueroa on Vine! | street last night. i Manuel Higuera, a woodchopper above | Los Gatos, came to San Jose yesterday | to spend Thanksgiving and 'met his | nephew, Joaquin Higuera. The two had many_drinks together, and last night oc- | cupied the same quarters. When Manuel | | Higuera_awoke this morning he found | he had been robbed of $850.

When arrested to-day Figueroa's watch | was found on Joaquin Higuera, and he | finally confessed his guilt. Two charges | of \robbery, with a prior conviction, will | be placed against him.

DENVER, Colo., Nov. 29.—State Com- missioner of Mines Harry A. Lee to-day received the report of the two inspectors, F. H. Nye and P. H. Clifford, who were sent to Telluride to investigate the recent accident at the Smuggler-Union mine by which twenty-five men lost their lives. The report fully exonerates the com- pany from any blame in the matter and says the fatalities appear to have resulted from a failure on the part of those pres- ‘ent to realize the danger until it was too late to avert it. The opinion is expressed that had the door at the mouth of the Bullion tunnel been closed promptly, few if any deaths would have resulted. —_— MACKAY FEELS TWINGES OF RHEUMATIC GOUT Will Spend Several Weeks in Paso Robles and Cut Out Trip to Arizona.

CUBANS WANT SLAND FLAG General Wood Thinks Annexation Is Not Practicable. NEW YORK, Nov. 20.—Among the pas- sengers who arrived yesterday from Ha- vana were General Leonard Wood, Gov- ernor of Cuba; Mrs. Wood, M. J. Dady, the contractor; Sir Willam Van Horne, Lieutenant W. B. Arden and Lieutenant Frank McCoy. / General Wood said that he would pro- ceed directly to Washington to report to President Roosevelt,”and expected to_ re: turn to Cuba on December 7. He said he had expressed no opinion on the question of the annexation of Cuba, and to do so would be impolitic. Matters were quiet in Cuba and preparations were being made for the election in February. “Of course,” said General Wood, ‘“‘there are a number of people in Cuba who de- sire annexation, but I doubt the possi- bility of securing a canvass of the ques- tion. The people of Cuba wish to see their flag floating over Morro Castle, even if it were only for a week.” Dady says the City Council of Havana by a unanimous vote gave him the Ha- vana contract for public improvements there and that ,the plans a specifica- tions are in preparation for presentation to General Wood, who will consider them on his return to Cuba. RESTING ON SUNDAYS ! WILL NOT BE REQUIRED Reichstag Decides. That Trade Com- petition Is More Important Than Sabbath Repose. BERLIN, Nov. 29.—During the discus- sion to-day in the Reichstag of the sea- men’s regulation bill, the clause drafted by the committee prohibiting trans-Atlan- tic steamers, with the exception of mail boats, from starting on their outward journeys on Sunday was expunged after a prolonged debate. During_this discussion Count von Posa- dowski Wehner, the Secretary of the In- terior, argued that in the face of great effarts now being made by foreign coun- tries to secure the worjd’s carrying trade Germany must not go to this extreme for the sake of Sunday rest.. Only Socialist and Centrist members of the Reichstag voted for the retention of the clause. Californians in New York.

LONDON, Nov. 29.—The St. Petersburg coyrespondent of the Times cables that the Czar has conferred the order of St. Alex- andrie-Nevsky in brilliants on Marquis Ito, the Japanese statesman. This acder is the second highest in the list of Russian decorations. It is rumored that Russla and China have broken off their negotia- tions concerning Manchuria, in conse- quence of Japan's objectjons thereto. The Times correspondent adds he believes this rumor to be based on accurate informa- tion.

ROOT REBUKES FEARGOME GUBA Alleged Interference in Elections Sharply Denied. WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.—Secretary Root to-day addressed a communication to Elijio Bonachea, president of the con- vention at Havana, Cuba, that nominated Bartolomeo Maso for President, relative to complaints that the United States was interfering in the elections. A press dispatch from Havana stated that Maso complained that the influence of the United States officers was being ex- erted in favor of Estrada Palma and a dispatch from Bonachea to the Secrelary implied the same thing. The Secretary in his communication‘to Senor Bonachea says: “I have the honor 4o acknowledge the receipt of your dispatch of November 26 saying, ‘The National Convention of Ha- vana, which has proclaimed General Maso candidate for the Presidency of the future republic’ of Cuba, respectfully asks you to recommend to the representatives of the intervening Government the strictest impartiaity in the electoral contest which is‘now taking place.” “The representatives of the intervening Government in Cuba are already aware that their duty’ requires them not to be merely impartial in the electoral contest in Cuba, but to refrain from interfering in any manner whatever with the free ex- pression of the wishes of the Cuban peo- ple at the polls. They have not violated this rule in the past and will not in the future. They will have nothing to do with the electoral contest, except to enforce the electoral law prescribed by the consti- tutional convention, and promulgated by the Military Geverror on the 14th of Oc- tober last. This will be done impartially and effectively. “It is quite unnecessary to assume that the officers of this Government will be less faithful to their duty hereafter than they have been in the past, or to recommend or direct that they shall perform a duty Which they are already performing. Uniformed Counterfeiter Caught. MONTGOMERY, Ala., Nov. 29.—Tom Shorter, a negro, wearing the uniform of the Ninth Cavalry, is under arrest at Union Springs, a quantity of counterfeit money and molds having been found on his person.

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 29.—The session of the Pan-American Congress this morning was largely taken up with reading of re- ports of the committee on international banking and monetary exchange and on literary relations, the latter favoring an exchange of official publications aad a lengthy report of the committee of which Senator Davis is the head with respect to the Pan-American railroad. A project was submitted by Buchanan of the United States delegation on com- mercial nomenclature. Buchanan said: “The importance of this subject te the commerce of the republics represented here is one that has been frequently and forcibly brought to my attention and I have reached the firm conviction that if uniformity of name and description can be secured for the common articles of Pan-American commerce and such nom- enclature ofiicially adopted and made the basis of the customs.schedules and laws of the republics of this hemisphere & dis- tinct and valuable step forward in all that appertains to the general betterment of commerce will be gained.” Buchanan proposes that the govern= ments represented in the bureau of Amer jcan republies contribute among them- selves the sum of $40,000, with a view to a careful revision and compilation in Eng- lish, Spanish and Portuguese, and under the direction of the customs division of each of the said governments, of the com- mercial nomenclature of the American re- publics heretofore issued by the bureau of ‘American republics. Buchanan’s proposal was referred to the committee on com~ merce, Purchase of Many Prunes. SAN JOSE, Nov. 20.—The A. & C.
