TO110R8 AND PBOPBIETOBS. yeBr.tri-cUr advance. Jackson's Farewell Address. Jackson's day was more universally observed this year than ever before. It signifies that conditions nave now assumed the snape that confronted Jackson when he fought and won a signal victory over the money power more than sixty years ago.

Near the end of Jackson second term as president of the United States he delivered a -'farewell address" to his countrymen. ID that address be warned the people against the encroachments of corporate greed and the very dangers that now confront them. In that address, referring to the demand of certain interests to impose a higb tariff, he said: "The corporations and wealthy individuals, who are engaged in large manufacturing establishments, de- Hire a high tariff to Increase their gains. Do not allow yourselves, my fellow citizens, to be misled on this tubject. The Federal government collect a surplus for such purposes without violating the principles of the constitution and aesum- lug powers which have not been granted.

It Is, moreover, a system of Injustice and 11' persisted la will Inevitably lead to corruption and must end In ruin. There is but one safe rule and that is to confine the general government rigidly within the sphere of its appropriate duties. It has no power to raise a revenue or impose taxes except for the purposes enumerated in the constitution." Jackson's determined fight against the United States bank is one of the most remarkable events in the political history of this country. He defied the money power of the country and tar the time being drove it into exile. He assertedjthac the M-advised legislation which established that great -monopoly resulted in the concentration of the whole money power of the Union, and that witb Its boundless means 01 corruption and its numerous dependents it could control legislation and through Its unlimited 'dominion over the circulating medium could regulate the value of bestow prosoerity or trio? ruin npon any city or section of the country.

His reference to the course of the Hank of the United States In the contest that led to Its overthrow, recalls the incidents of the last presidential lampaign when the money power to overawe the people by threats and intimidation. Here Is what be says: I -The distress and alarm whioh per- traded and agitated the whole couc try when the Bank of the United States waged war upon the people in order to compel them to submit to its demands can not yet be forgotten. The ruthless temper with which whole cities and communities were oppressed, individuals Impoverished and ruined and a scene of cheerful prosperity suddenly changed into one of gloom and despondency ought to ce indelibly impressed ou the memory of the people of tha United States. No nation but the freemen uf the United States could hare come out victorious from such a contest; yet if you had not government would have passed from the hands of the many to the few and this organized money power from its aecret conclave would have dictated the choice of the highest officers and compelled you to make peace or war, ae best suited their own wishes." Are we not confronted with these very conditions today? What in- luence brought about the panic of 1893? What influence prevents this government from lending a helping hand to the brave Cubans who are struggling for and independence? Is the' money power that threatens ruin and disaster nn- leai demands are granted? II Jaoaion were living today he would be a to weir of strength on the of the people In their straggle to a money power that Is far WOMEN DO NOT TELL THE WHOLE TRUTH. Modest "Women Evade Certain.

Questions Wlien Asked by a Mala Physician, but "Write Freely to Mrs. FirJcham. An eminent physician says that "Women are not truthful, they will lie to their physicians." This statement should be qualified; women do tell the truth, but not the whole truth, to a male physician, but this is only in regard to those painful and troublesome disorders peculiar to their sex. There can be no more terrible ordeal to a. delicate, sensitive, refined woman than to be oblig-ed to answer certain questions when those questions are asked, even by her family physician.

This is espe- cictllv the case with unmarried women. This is the reason why thousands and thousands of women are now corresponding with Mrs. Pinkham. To this g-qod woman they can and do give every symptom, SO that she really knows more about the true condition of her patients through her. correspondence than the physician who.

personally questions them. Perfect confidence and candor are at once established between Mrs. Pinkham and her patients. Years ago women Aad no such recourse. Jsowadavs a modest woman asks help of a woman who understands women.

If you suffer from any J'orm of trouble peculiar to women, write at once to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, and. she will advise you free of charge. And the fact that this great boon which is extended freely to women by Mrs. Pinkham, is appreciated, the thousands of letters which are received by her prove.

Many such grateful letters as the following are constantly pouring in: I was a sufferer from female weakness for about a year and a half. I ha.ve tried doctors and patent medicines, but nothing helped me. I underwent the horrors of local treatment, but received no benefit. My ailment was pronounced ulceration of the womb. I suffered from intense pains in the womb and ovaries, and the backache was dreadful I had leucorrhcea in.

its worst form. Finally I grew so weak I had to keep my bed. The pains were so hard as to almost cause spasms. When I coaid endure the uain no longer I was given morphine. My memory grew short, and I gave np all hope of ever getting well.

Thns I draped £ong. At last I wrote to Mrs. Pinkham for advice. Her answer came I read carefully her letter, and concluded to try E. Pmkham's Vegetable Compound.

After taking two bottles I felt much better; but after ttsinf bottles I was cured. My friends think my cure almost m.raculous. Her noble work is snrely a blessing to broken-down wom B. SXAM- Pratt, Kansas. MASONIC.

Collection of 0ues by the Trestleboard WeglJEM. A lodge of SO "members in Missouri suspended 37 members and remitted the dues of 1-2 more previous to the last annual meeting of grand lodge. Grand lodge adopted the following amendment: "If any" lodge shall collect from a suspended member the dtos for nonpayment which he has been suspended, such lodge shall pay ro the lodge $1 for each year's dues so collected if not previously accounted for to the arand lodge." This clause would give many other grand lodges their honest dues and spoil the tricks Jf some lodges. The lodge paid dues on only 31 Board. Fort Worth lodge has offered to the grand lodge of Texas a plot of 200 acres of land and in building materials and cash if the Masonic home be located at Fort Worth.

Waco Commercial club offered 200 acres of land and $10,000 or $15,000 in cash. The San Francisco Masonic board of relief disbursed for the relict' of members of various foreign jurisdictions the sum of I and was reimbursed in rhe sum I of leaving a balance unpaid Sept. 9 of Tho grand lodge of Illinois decided that it was unwise to adopt any form or system of life membership.

Nest October the grand lodge of Missouri will action on the following proposed addition to the constitution relating to physical disqualifications: "Provided that, nothing herein contained shall be so construed as to render any one ineligible to the privileges of Masonry who can by the aid of artificial appliances conform to the necessary ceremonies." The vote to suspend for nonpayment of dues or other cause roust be by ballot, decided the grand lodge of Illinois. The grancl lodge of Arkansas refused to amend a bylaw whereby dues are charged members suspended for nonpayment of dues during time of suspension. California and Golden Gate commaud- eries will have to look after their laurels. St. Bernard, at San Diego, are preparing to contest for the grand trophy at the triennial conclave af Pittsburg.

more defiant, more firmly entrenched and much more corrupt than the one agaiast, which he contended sixty years ago. He would oppose with the valor of a hero the proposition to surrender authority to the national banks to issue all paper money. He was opposed to paper money and in his "farewell address," "It will require steady and persevering exertions on your part to rid yourselves of the iniquities and mischiefs of the paper system and to check the spirit of monopoly and abuses wolou have sprung up with it and of which it is the main support. My humble efforts have cot been spared during my administration of the government to restore the constitutional currency of gold and silver and something I trust has been done toward the accomplishment of this most desirable In 1889 Secretary of State Elaine took the position that Bering sea was a mare cJansnm, or closed other words, private property belonging to the United States. This country therefore, accord.

Ing to his claim, had the right to seize British or other vessels catching seals in those waters during the closed' season in the United States. Great Britain rejected this claim, and it was submitted to an arbitration commission, which decided against us. The United States had already seized a number of British schooners engaged in seal catching outside of the international three mile limit agreed on as the line beyond -which a country has no jurisdiction over its shores. The decision involved, therefore, the result that, the United States would have to pay damages to the British sealers. President, Cleveland and the English minister, Sir Julian Patmcefore, agreed on $425,000 as a sum -which cover the damages.

Congress, however, refused to pass the bill authorizing tho payment of the money, declaring the amount too large. A commission was then appointed to fix ou a snio. It has reported that nothing less than $464,000 wiM be sufficient- Congress should have let well enough alone. jEleetricity From Sun Rays. According to the latest story, Nikola Tesla, who is always on the brink of doing some wonderful thing, has considered Edison's idea of getting electricity direct from coal and gone one better.

Tesla, so the story goes, has found a way to utilize directly the light and heat of the sun for producing steam and thence electricity and power. He proposes to erect; on Long Island a plant for this purpose. In the center of a glass roofed room a huge cylinder will be fixed. A system of mirrors surrounding the cylinder will refract upon ic tho s-an rays in sufficient intensity to heat; a quantity of water within the cylinder, is hollow. The water is chemically treated, so that it will boil and make steam very quickly.

The steam will TUU a dynamo, which will send a current of electricity anywhere and everywhere it is wanted at a cost so trifling that fuel Sind light bills will henceforth be anicra bagatelle. At: least that is what one infers from a Tesla interview ia the New York Tesla is reported as saying that it would not be surprising if in a very few years all the large cities were to be heated, and lighted by electricity obtained from the sun, while machinery everywhere would be driven in the same way. electricity is to be stored in power houses to last during hours when sun does not shine. If there is anything in this invention, it will be able CO change Alaska arid the whole Klondike region into a tropical garden and melt down in less than no time the frozen earth that now holds the gold there fast in its clutches.

These issued during the past four years only bring at the rate of 8 per cent, taking into consideration tha cost price.

The bonds of New York, Massachusetts and of several other eastern states rate so high in the market that they only pay au average of 3 per cent. This country, in its older portions, is rapidly approximating the condition of European countries, where the field of investments is already so thoroughly covered that money brings only a low rate of interest or remains idle.

It would be illegal for a lodge to adopt a bylaw compelling members to pay dues in advance. There are five lodges in Los Angeles, all thriving and prosperous. Odd Fellowship is a labor of love, an unending, persistent struggle against vice, an instrument to aid the aspiration of the soul for a better and nobler life.

Before tho noble grand declares a ballot, if he has reason to suspect error or mistake, he can order a new ballot. After the noble grand declares the ballot it can only be reconsidered, when error or fraud is charged. KNIGHTS OF HONOR.

Only Twelre Assessments This Tear. Briefs. The step rate plan under which the order is working provides that all members shall pay a sL'ght increase in rate of assessments during this year, but the number of assessments will remain one a month.

Railroad officials here are 'blue over news received from Virginia. months ago a man fell on the platform ol a train about five miles out of this city. His heel caught in a crack and his hip was dislocated by the fall. Three sursreons examined him, including the company's surgeon, and ail declared that the man would he a cripple for life. The man was paid $2,200 and his lawyer's fees.

In addition to this he was furnished with a baggage car and transportation for his lawyer, and a nurse to go with him to Chicag-o. The railroad officials felt they had made a cheap settlement. The other day a man fell on a platform of the Norfolk and Western Virginia and worked the same old story of the dislocated hip. But he had been seen on the previous day hunting for a place to catch his heel. A traveling man was present and recognized him as the man had been paid by the Indianapolis road- An investigation revealed that the man was a- professional contortionist, and could dislocate any part of his body without pain.
