MOTHER'S HOUR. A Time for Confidence and Counsel. ‘When the children’s hour is a thing of the far away past, because there are no more little ones to have their evening frolic or bed-time story, the hour once devoted to them becomes the mother’s hour. It is an hour in which the young women takes her old place at her moth- er's knee as she was wont when she listened to the evening story. But now she tells the story to the mother; the story of her day, her fears, her hopes, her ideals. Happy is that daughter who can come to her mother as her best friend, as sure of her compassion as of her counsel. It is often so very different. The mother does not invite the shy conmfi- dence of the wing girl. She com to womhoogr:nd bgetseen her and h: “Wrother is s barrier of reserve.

No bearing down pain any more. I think that there is no medicine like Dr. Pierce’ medicine. I thank you very much for what you have done for me — your medicine has done me so much good.” IMPORTANT TO WOMEN. Dr. Pierce invites sick and ailing women to con- sult him by letter free of charge. All d- lence is ed as sacred aud the written confidences of women are guarded by the same strict professional | privacy observed in per- sonal consultation with | women at the Invalids’ Ho- | tel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. ¥., to which in- | stitution Dr. Pierce is chief | consulting physician. Women in general and young women in particular | express their appreciation | of the privilege offered by . this free consultation by | letter with Dr. Pierce, not | only because his profes- | sional advice is suppliment- | ed by his wise fatherly | counsel, but because it az | fords them a way of escape irom the indelicate ques- | tionings, the offensive ex- | aminations and obmoxious | local treatmients, which of- | fend the delicate sensibili- | ties of modest women. | ‘Write without fear as without fee, to Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. V. Dr. Pierce’s offer of free consultation by letter is not to be classed with the spurious offers of free medical advice mh-dg by mend or women who are not | physicians and cannot legally practise medicine. Such advice is not oily worth- less, but may be dangerous. In a little over thirty years, Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician to the | Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, | Buffalo, N. V., assisted by his staff of | nearly a score of physicians, has treated | and cured hundreds of thousands of weak | and sick womeén. The offer of Dr. Pierce puts at the ‘ree service of women, not merely medical | advice, but the advice of a successful specialist in the treatment and cure ot diseases peculiar to women. i Sometimes 2 dealer tempted by the | little more profit paid by less meritorious tions, will offer a substitute for | “Favorite Prescription ” claiming it to be “just as good.” It is not wise or safe tc trifie with unknown. medicines.

The late Dr. von Mi-| quel, former Minister of Finance, in an| official declaration three years ago said German agriculture was prosperous.

Later Graf von Arnim, another great agrarian leader, scornfully interrupted Herr Bebel while the latter was relating an incident of a Prussian schoolgirl who wanted to go to heaven because there was no hunger there. Upon_ this occurrence the Soclalist members of the Reichstag rushed in a body toward the Conserva- tive side of the chamber, shouting “Or- der!” Interruptions of all sorts were then made. These showed the rising temper of the house. The President of the Reich- stag frequently rang his bell or called ‘Herr Bebel and the other members of all the political groups to order. Herr Bebel, inspired by the tempestuous temper of the house, exclaimed: “This bill foments insurrection. The Chancellor aims to overturn social order. We shall do our utmost to send this bill to Hades and we only regret we cannot send its authors and abettors there also.” Baron von Rheinbaben, the Prussian Minister of Finance, advised Her Bebel that if the Social Democrats stirred up rebellion the Government assured them they would reap a harvest of broken heads. This was greeted with cheers on Moeller, the Minister of Commerce, said he regarded the new tariff as an effgctive weaoon in the hands of the Government to force to a conclusion favorable com- STAGE FALLS AND DEATH CLAIMS ONE PASSENGER MADERA, Dec. 5.—A telephone message received here this morning from Salt Springs, in this county, gives a meager account of an accident to the stage which left the Sugar Pine Mills yesterday.

The Senate passed a bill ex- tending the life of the Industrial Com- mission until February 15 next, to com- plete the work it now has in hand. & The announcement that Senator Mc- Comas would inaugurate the discussion on the suppression of anarchy and an- archists filled the Senate galleries with a goodly number of spectators.

McComas was then recognized in sup- port of his bill introduced yesterday pro- viding the death penalty for assaults upon the President or for inciting, advising or procuring such assaults. The Senator spoke of the dangerous spread of anarchy, President Carnot, Prime Minister Canovas, the Empress of Austria, King Humbert and President McKinley having been foully sinated by anarchists within the Ia: sevn years, It was humiliating, he said, to consider the - immpotency of our federal laws to punish this fearful crime. The Senator spoke of the revolutionary propaganda under the guid- ing hand of Herr Most and the Niniiist ass: of anarchist groups. Congress must now legislate aginst this peril with courage, firmness, conservatism and prudence. The with the subject was discussed at length | McComas further urged the exclusion and deportation of anarchists, the amend- ment of the immigration and naturaliza- tion laws and the negotiation of treaties with foreign powers permitting the extra- dition of those charged with anarchistic | offenses.

SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6, SENKTORS Tk || pUTCH GOVERNME | convention of the American Federation uf | 1901 NT STRIVES TO HUSH THE ROYAL SCANDAL L ONDON, Dec. 6.—The Dutch Government and the Dutch court are again strenuously denying the stories of matrimonial quarrels between Queen Wilhelmina and the Prince Consort. but the scandal has become too pub- lic for any hope of hushing it up to remain. According to some reports, a reconciliation between the Queen and Prince Henry was effected largely through the influence of Emperor William and the Queen mother, who, in order to preserve an appearance of concord, even paid the Prince Consort’s debts. The Dutch Ministers at foreign courts continue to aver that the couple live in ‘“an ideal happy unicn™ and ‘“‘are devotedly attached to each other,” etc. AMSTERDAM, Dec. 5—With the view of allaying public indignation and excitement, semi-official intimations have been circulated to the effect that Queen Wilhelmina has forgiven her husband, Prince Henry of The Netherlands, the suggestion being that the public ought to foliow suit. Since Prince Henry returned to Het-Loo the Queen and he have been dining together "and gradually resuming normal relations. Yesterday they walked together and afterward drove in the castle park. The relations between Prince Henry and the members of the court are, however, very strained. The former cordiality has been replaced by an attitude of frigid politeness on the part of the Prince Consort and apparently the gentlemen of the court are equally indisposed to gloss over recent occurrences.

Drinks Carbolic Acid at the Street Window of a Hotel Special Dispatch to The Call. TACOMA, Dec. 5.—The suicide to-day of J. L. McAllister at the Grand Central Hotel was Spectacular in the extreme. He had apparently studied how he might kill himself in such a manner that his death struggle would be witnessed by the larg- est possible number of people. Purchasing a bottle of carbolic acid at a drug store he walked across Pacific avenue and entered the hotel. As he swallowed the contents of the bottle he seated himself in a chair in front of the large plate-glass windows facing the ave- nue. The hotel floor is raised two or three feet and the view from without was as if looking on a stage. \ McAllister struggled with death for forty minutes and then died In the chair he had picked out and before the gaze of fully 200 curiqus people. Within two minutes after seating himself his actions indicated that something was wrong. The hotel clerk and others began rushing to and fro in an effort to secure doctors and save his life. These excited movements quickly attracted the atten- tion of passers-by and within ten minutes the crowd had gathered. Many stood on their tiptoes and gazed while the physi- cians were pouring olive oil down the suf- fering man’s throat. McAllister was about 40 years old and had apparently been in ill-health. His clothes contained but 60 cents. His rela~ tives reside at Muncie, Ind. e Miner Falls on the Blast.

When about forty feet from the bottom he lost his hold on the ladder an@fell to the bottom and was immediately over ome of the blasts when it went off.

Every assas- | sin of a forelgn ruler had expected early | and certain death. The multiplication nf] punishment for the act itself, therefore, | would accomplish little. Much good | might be accomplished in limiting the circulation of fanatical doctrines. But i | the Senator believed that a much more | effective remedy could be secured if by | common consent of all civilized nations some tract of land semewhere upon the earth’s surface, hemmed in outer world, could be set aside for the confinement of those who counseled the | killing of rulers or the overthrow of governments, “Let the anarchists have an object les- | son,” the Senator sald, “‘and let the world | have an object lesson. Let there be a little cizculation of anarchy Into the an- archist himself, and let him have an an- archistic government among his follow- ers.” Hoar sald banishment would be a under the constitu- tion, and if all nations would agree that every such person be sent to a spot where there was no government it would be an effective remedy, Certainly the anarchist could not complain, for in being trans- ported to a place of no government he would have realized his Eutopla. McComas' resolution was then lald aside for discussion later. The presiding officer announced the following Senators as the committee to act with the committee from the House to consider by what token of respect Con- Rress may express its deep sensibilitv at the death of the late President McKin- ley: Foraker, Allison, _Fairbanks, Kean, Aldrich, Nelson, Perkins, Jones of Ar- kansas, Morgan, Cockrell and McEnery.

It appears that the Richmond central body refused to admit to membership negro workmen belonging to colored to- bacco workers’ unions In Richmond. Henry Fischer, president of the National Tobacco Workers' Union, was instructed by the two local colored unions of Rich- mond to oppose the seating of Seal on the ground that the organization he rep- resented drew the color line. The com- mittee heard both sides and, recommend- | ed that Seal be seated, and also recom- | mended that the executive board of the American Federation of TLabor be in-| structed to form a separate negro central union in Richmond.

The two generals met at Girgora. station, on the railroad, and returned to Empire station, where the peace papers were signed.. General Diaz, wtih about eighty fol- lowers and_accompanied by General Al- ban, reached Panama at 6 o'clock yes- terday evening. General Alban conducted the Liveral leader, who still wore the Liberal emblem, a red ribbon, around his hat, {o a carriage and drove with him to his family house in Panama. All persons here unite in agreeing that Alban is not only a brave general, but a true gentleman as well. 4 That part of the Conservative forces under General Alban which was dis- patched to Agua Dulce has not yet re- turned. It is surmised this expedition is in pursuit of the Liberal general, Vic- toriano Lorenzo, but there is absolutely no information as to whether these two forces have become engaged. It is rumored in Panama that 200 Lib- erals from Tumaco have landed in the department of Panama to reinforce the command of General Belizario Porras. The Conservative Government is in no way disturbed at this rumor. Since yesterday all trains have been running across the isthmus without es- cort of American marines.
