New York, N. Y„ Feb. 17.—Tests and ex-
periments conducted at Gouverneur hospi-
tal on patients suffering from cerebro
spinal meningitis has led the doctors there
to the belief that a new and successful
treatment of the dread disease ha^s been
found. The mortality of meningitis has
always been high, and especially among
children, and there has been no accepted
method of treatment among medical men.
The new method consists of the injection
of anti-toxine of diphtheria. Out of eight
cases five have been absolutely cured
without any subsequent complications and
two show improvement. The only uncer-
tain case is that of a girl of 10, who was
at the hospital 17 days before she was
treated with the anti-toxine.
Particularly interesting were the cases
of three brothers, from 9 to 14 years old.
Another brother had died at home after

Facts About Miss Merk ley’s Dangerous
Illness and Complete Cure
It is because most women suffer from
some derangement of their delicate
organism, the discomfort of which is
less trying when they are in motion
than when standing.
In some states laws compel employers
to provide resting' places for their fe-
male employees.
But no amount of law can regulate
the hard tasks of these women. They
must get the strength which this work
demands or run the risk of serious
diseases and the surgeon’s knife.
Read about the experience of Miss
Margret Merkley, 275 3d Street, Mil»
waukee, Wis.:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—
“ Gradual loss of strength, nervousness,
bearing-down pains and extreme irritation
compelled me to seek medical advice. The
doctor said I had ovarian trouble and ulcer-
ation of the womb, and advised an operation
if I wanted to get well. I objected to this
and decided to give Lydia E. Pinkham’s Veg-
etable Compound a trial. I soon found that
all the good things said about this great
medicine were true. The ulceration soon
healed, backache, headache and nervousness
disappeared, ana in a short time I was
strong, vigorous and perfectly well. I wish
every working girl who suffers would try
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.”
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com-
pound is a vegetable tonic which invig-
orates and strengthens the entire fe-
male organism, and will produce the
same beneficial results in the case of
any sick woman as with Miss Merkley.
Have you ever thought why so many
women or girls rather walk an homr

When Maxim, the famous inventor,
placed his gun before a committee of
Judges, lie stated its carrying power to be
considerably below what he felt sure the
gun would accomplish. The result of the
trial was therefore a triumph of surprise
instead of disappointment as it might have
been if he had overestimated his gun’s
efficiency.

Sandemanlan Rites at Burial of Aged Dan-
bury Woman.
Danbury, Conn., Feb. 16.—The Sande-
manians, a religious sect, now almost ex-
tinct, conducted the funeral of the aged
Mrs. Annie Coral Blaikly in this city. Ut-
ter silence was the feature. Those who
gathered around the coffin sat with bowed
heads until the undertaker at the service
Indicated that the service was at an end.
In a similar silence the body was lowered
Into the grave in Wooster cemetery.
It used to be the custom for the head
man of the church—for the sect did not
support a paid pastor—to dismiss the peo-
ple at the funeral service by saying: “We
thank yop, friends, for your presence.”
But it. has been many years since the
church has had a head. The Sanda-
mariiahs, once strong in Danbury, were
followers of Robert Sandaman, a Scotch
religious teacher. It was the custom of
the church for members to greet each
other with, a kiss when they assembled
for the Sunday morning service, and the
service was always concluded with a din-
ner, of which everybody partook.

New York, Feb. 17.—After a protracted
meeting behind closed doors, at which
1000 employes of the Interborough Rapid
Transit company were present, it has been
determined to again makp sweeping de-
mands on the management of the road,
failure to grant which, it was declared
by some of those present, would result
in a general strike on the Interborough
system, both subway and elevated, March
1. There have been several meetings of
a similar nature in the past year and
each time the trouble, has been settled,
after conferences with the road’s of-
ficials.
To draw up a statement of the men’s
demands for changes from present regu-
lations regarding the number of hours of
employment, the number of trips to con-
stitute a day’s work, the length of time
between the trips and to set forth other
matters of less importance, a committee
was appointed by the president of the
local union, George E. Pepper.
This committee will labor steadily until
its work is finished, and it is hoped to
have the matter in such shape that it
can be taken up with August Belmont,
president of the Interborough company,
and Frank Hedley, the general manager,
someday next week.
The chief complaint brought out at the
meeting was that an agreement macle one
year ago has not been fulfilled by the
company. This agreement Is said to ex-
pire March 1, leaving the employes free
to strike if they wish.

REAR ADMIRAL SIGSBEE, THE CRUISER DETROIT AND THE TROUBLE IN SANTO DOMINGO
Rear Admiral Sigsbee and Lieutenant Commander Leiper, executive officer of the United States cruiser Detroit,
nave been in the public eye by reason of the stupidity of local officials at Monte Christi, Santo Domingo. Pursuant
to the agreement with the island government Mr. Leiper was put in temporary charge of the custom house. He
was prevented from dispatching goods in bond to their destination, the local authorities pretending that they had
received no orders to recognize the United States^ In order to make certain that no. such instructions, might be
received they proceeded to cut the telegraph wires. Mr. Leiper had been threatened, and Admiral Sigsbee at once
notified the local Dominican authorities that they would be held responsible for any violence to the American
representative. He also took the precaution to have the Detroit made ready for an emergency, and the marines
were prepared' to go ashore at a moment's notice. At night the Detroit’s seachlights were kept trained upon the
custom house.

in gthe disappearance of Major Harry
Packenham, while on his honeymoon at
Folkestone, in the county of Kent, last.
week, has been partially cleared up by
the discovery of his body on the seashore
near there today.
Major Packenham was the son of Gen.
Ralph Packenham and his mother was
the daughter of William Clarke of New
York. He was married Feb. 7, in Lon-
don, to Miss Markham, sister of the late
Lady Annesley, and was staying with his
bride at a hotel in Folkestone. Three
day safter his marriage Major Packen-
ham went out for a stroll, telling his wife
he would not be gone long. Next day his
overcoat was found in the harbor with
a note in the pocket which said he was
sick and saw no prospect of getting
better.
Major Packenham contracted
fever during the South African war.

New York, N. Y. Feb. 17.—Confessing
that she had forged many checks and
drawn on her employer’s bank account
since last October, Margaret Connelly, 15
years old. has been taken into custody.
The child said she had used the money, of
which $500 or $600 is missing, to play phil-
anthropist among the poor children living
near her home.
Her parents are dead and slrtftves with
an aunt. Last summer she obtained a
position with a Fifth avenue millinery es-
tablishment and proved so bright and
trustworthy that in a short time she was
carrying the firm’s money to the bank.
Balancing the book had been neglected for
some time and recently this was done.
Then many checks payable to “Cash”
were found, which the proprietors asserted
were forged. Suspicion at last fastened
on the little errand girl and when con-
fronted by the police she owned up.
She had regularly given her salary of
$6 a week to her aunt, and she had made
her little friends gifts with the money ob-
tained from the bank, where her alleged
imitation of the firm’s signature complete-
ly deceived the tellers. The child ex-
pressed great sorrow over her action and
it is said the milliners will not prosecute
the case.

words, and had been prepared at the ex-

Mason City, la., Feb. 17.—As one of the

Behler is richer by $50. Last fall, while
his home was temporarily vacated, a thief

up.
On Sunday there was a great religious
awakening among the men and it is
hinted that among the number was the
man who had stolen the money, and he
hastened to make restitution.
