Unqualified Success of Lydia E. Pink barn's Vegetable Compound in the Case of Mrs. Fannie D. Fox. One of the greatest triumphs of Lydia E. l'inkham's Vegetable Compound is the conquering of woman's dread en emy, Tumor. The growth of a tumor is so sly that frequently its presence isnot suspected until it is far advanced. So-called "wandering pains" may ccme from its early staples, or the presence of danger may be made mani fest y profuse monthly periods,. accom panied bv unusual pain, from the abdomen through the groin and thighs, If von have mysterious pains, if there are indications of inflammation or dis placement, secure a bottle of Lvdia V. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound right away antl begin its use. Airs. Pinkham, of Jjynn, Mass., will give you her advice it you win write her about yourself. She is the daughter-in-law of Lydia K. Pinkham and for twenty-live years has been advising sick women free of charge. Dear Mrs. PinLham: ' I take the liberty to congratulate you on the success I have had with your wonderful medicine. Eighteen mouths ago my periods stopped. Shortly after I felt so badly that I suormtteu to a thorough examination by a physician and was told that I had a tumor and would have to undergo an operation. Soon after I read one of vour advertise ments and decided to give Lydia E. Pink ham's Vegetable Compound a trial. After taking live bottles as directed the tumor is entirely gone. I have been examined by a physician ami lie says I have no signs of a tumor now. It has also brought my ieriod aronna once more, ana i am entirelv well." Fannie D.

V., BooKht by Wealthy Men, Will lie Improved In Certain Land scape Feature, bat Mont of It Will ' Be Left Wild Cont of Tract Sal.l to lie $3,000,000. Rich In historical association ami not ed for its unusual beauty of mountain and woodland scenery, a large tract of land known as the Sterling property, lying in Oraugre and Rockland counties, in the state of New York, and covering parts of four township!?, has recently been purchased by a party of promi nent New York men at a reported cost of $3,000,000 aud is to be converted at a cost of several millions of dollars more into a great residential park, modeled more or less along English and continental linen, says the New York Herald. "It is to be called Ster ling park. For 200 vears the tract has been un divided from the original patent grunt ed by Queen Anne save for a part sold to Peter Lorillard in 1814, out of which the beautiful Tuxedo park has since been built. During this space the ownership underwent comparative ly few changes, and there are today living in or near the property descend ants of the first patent holders. By purchasing !io per cent of the stock of the Sterling Iron and Railway company, which acquired Ihe land in ISC", the present ownership came about. It is being continued under the old corporate title. While the services of the landscape gardener and the architect are to be employed in devising certain improve ments, such as the conversion or a great stretch of depressed pasture land, lying In a natural bowl formed by the Black rock hills, into an artificial lake and sunken Italian gardens, for the most part the property will be left In the almost primeval state hi -which It now is. On the tract, which is eleven miles long and about three miles wide, there are several lakes, including at jeast two which are several miles in extent. The estate touches (Ireenwood lake In New Jersey. It Is about forty miles from New York, to which it is readily accessible, and lies in the heart of the Raniapo mountains. Because of the sparse habitation the tract Is still tln home of many of the native wild animals, while the numer ous streams abound in fish. Roughly speaking, it lies behind that is. to the wpt of Tuxedo park, fnd In lab years sites on or near It have been chosen for the country places of wealthy New York men. Clitheroe. once the home of the daughter of the late Dr. IaoiuIs, is now owned by Theodore Price, who is build ing a costly new home; the large estate of Mr. llarrimau touches the tract to the northeast, and Macgrane Coxe. whose wife is a lineal descendant of one of the first owners of the land, has large place on its edge. Among the other estates are those of the late Abram S. Hewitt, William I'ierson Hamilton and Francis Lynde Stetson. On the tract there is located one of the oldest irou mines in the country Sterling mine, which gives it its name. In the furnace near by was forged the great chain that was stretched across the Hudson river in 177S to impede the progress of the British fleet up stream. To celebrate .that historical event the Daughters of the Revolution recently unveiled on the ruins of the furnace a tablet in its commemoration. Macgrane Coxe made the address, and on behalf of the owners Mr. Price ac cepted it. Among the tenants of the new- landlords are tho residents of the villages of Lakeville, Elizabeth and Sterling. Included in the ownership of the property is the Sterling railway, which is about eight miles long aud runs from Sterlington. on the Erie, to the Ster ling mine. Tlie more picturesque of the Raniapo hills are on tho land, and with- u its limits lie Monibasha lake, about wo miles long; Sterling lake, one and a half miles long; Little Dam lake. Ce dar pond. Sterling pond and part of the shore of (ireenwood lake, which is eleven miles in length. Explained by one of the directors, it was an appreciation of the growing de sire on the part of the wealthier class to have their homes amid natural sur roundings and at the same time wlth- n easy reach of the center of their financial activities that brought about the present plan. While no definite plan of campaign as yet has been out lined by the syndicate controlling the property, it is known that a minimum allotment is to be made to a purchaser. Those who answer the qualifications imposed and are admitted to member ship must buy a certain number of acres, with which they may do as they please provided they do not violate the restrictions surrounding each transfer. To see that the natural, almost rimeval, appearance of the property is preserved is to be made a rime ob jective. There are approximately 20,- 000 acres included In the tract, which is about thirty-three square miles, and, judging from increases in values In nearby property, when It has passed through the process of being madq ready. It will have a worth of about $10,000,000. -The old mines on the property, which have been continuous ly worked siuce 1745, are still yielding their steady daily quota of ore, which has so good a reputation that It Is sal able throughout the country to mills and furnaces. Right through the tract Washington marched and countermarched during I his operations against and aloui New York while that city was in the hands of the British. Ou many of the sur rounding hills earthworks had been thrown up by the Continental army, and from one Alexander Hamilton wrote important reports to the Con tinental congress while with the army. From the head of Monibasha lake, near the northerly limits of the tract, a view is unfolded that. -may well vie with any in the eastern part of the country. Looking southward, the hills of Ramapo are on either side, while in front Is to be seen the pass or clove through which the Revolutionary sol diers advanced. and retreated. Sterling lake, too, affords a beautiful vista, while from the top of Old Billy White mountain close by, which is 1,400 feet high, New York city itself may be seen on clear days. Cedar -pond, atop of a mountain, lies almost l.lcjo feet above tide. IN HONOR OF JOHN BROWN. I-'iftlt-tli AiinlirrMiry .r the Buttle of Ownwatomle to Be Celebrated, Preparations are being 'made by tLe citizens of Osawatomie, Kan., the home of John Brown, to celebrate the fif tieth anniversary of the battle fought there Aug. :;o. l.s."".c, says a Topeka dis patch. Vice President Fairbanks will deliver the principal address, govern or lloch of Kansas and (Jovernor Folk of Missouri, representing the two states whose citizens participated in the tight at Osawatomie, will also speak. The event has been commemorated only once before, twenty-eight years ago. At that time John J. Iugalls made the speech dedicating the monu ment erected to tho memory of John Brown by the citizens of Osawatomie. The monument is of plain white mar ble and not more than twelve feet high. It cost about .SUM), the money being contributed by the early settlers of Osawatomie and vicinity. There are Inscriptions oti the four sides, but this one tells the story: In commemoration of the heroism of CAPTAIN JOlfX I!ROWN, Who command. ! at tho bat tie of Os-a-.vatinr.ir. An.:. 30.

This letter is the property of the Kan sas Historical society and i tears date of .Nov. -1, INTi'J, and is as follows: "Oh. my friends, can you deem it possible that that scaffold lias no ter rors for your poor, old, unworthy brother?

' use of on. nr stoems noted Beneficial Resalta Reported From Varlona Veanel of the Convoy. Greatest Diotance Made In One Day Waa Little Over One Hundred and Klfty-two Nautical Mllen Picture of Historical Value Secured. The floating drj- dock Dewey a few dajs ago was scheduled to leave Singa pore on the last leg of the famous cruise which is expected to j'nd at Ma nila by the middle of July, says Washington dispatch to the New York Tribune. The dock and its consorts, the Glacier, the Caesar, the Brutus ana the Potomac, all under the command of Commander II. II. Hosley, U. S. N., reached Singapore the other day after an uneventful voyage across the In dian ocean, the greatest day's run hav ing been loli nautical miles. Few naval movements in recent years have attracted so much attention as the voyage of the floating dry dock from Chesapeake bay to its probable station at Olongapo or Cavite, in the Philippines. In the tirst place, the towing of such a huge body so great a distance was something of a problem In navigation in Itself. Then there was the danger of storms, especially iu the Indian ocean, ami the officials awaited with keen Interest the news that Com mander Hosley and his vessels with the tlry dock had reac hed a port of . sa fety. The navy department has received a series of reports from Commander lids- j ley lu regard to the use of oil during storms aud rough -weather encountered by the dock towing expedition, which j will be published for the benefit of the , service. When the convoy was fitting J out last winter a large quantity of oil, some seventy barrels, was placed on board the ships, and it has been freely ; used by them during the cruise as oc- ' casion arose. I On the Glacier" It was observed that large oily patches astern resulted, but the oil did not spread out entirely Into the wide "slick" that one would expect to see after becoming familiar with the literature on the subject. Some benefi cial results were reported from the Gla cier from the use of oil. Observers on the dock said that oil distributed from a hose riuuiing over the bow reduced the amount of water coming on board by about one-half, but otherwise there was no appreciable difference in the general comfort on the dock. A report from the Brutus says that the oil re- : duced the crest of the waves almost , entirely, while with the Potomac the ' use of the oil had a good effect, but had to be discontinued, owing to the fact that it came back on deck over the low scuppers anil freeing ports and made footing difficult and dangerous. t The trausfer of the Dewey from Chesapeake bay to the Philippines Is a practical demonstration of the mobil ity of such a structure. The value of the type as an auxiliary of the licet on the tiring line is no longer questioned, j It furnishes what may be called a floating navy yard, since it is capable of lifting a disabled ship out of the water, permitting repairs to be made wiihout the flelay of taking the vessel In a crippled condition a long distance to a shore plant. Then, too. the floating dock may be used as an adjunct of the navy yard itself. A vessel returning from battle badly damaged with its . draft increased would not only not be ' able to reach such a yard, but could j not easily enter a masonry dock. This i disability may be removed by employ- j ing the floating dock to restore tho 1 ship to Its normal draft and so enable i it to proceed safely to a yard. The trip from Chesapeake bay, where the government took possession of the dock, to Singapore was accomplished since Dec. 15, and, while Commander Hosley did not make the time which he thought might be possible, he has evidently escaped the monsoons of the far eastern seas and may be expected to reach Manila about July 12. The course of the towing expedition has been carefully followed by the naval hydrographic office, with the Intention of publishing the route and the dis tances made each day on the pilot charts of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The greatest distance made by the expedition on any one day was a trifle more than l."32 nautical miles. It was considered that if the expedition made 100 miles in a day It won Id be accomplishing all that was required of it. The accidents have been of minor Importance anil were confined mostly to the trip across the Atlantic, during which it was found that the dock woulil have to be secured to the tow ing ships by heavier hawsers, and these were obtained In England. The navy department has a picture which will be of historical value, siuce it Is an authentic record of the relative positions of the ships acting as convoys of the big dock. This picture is the photographic reproduction of a paint ing made by an artist sent out with the expedition and is as exact as anything can be as a result of personal observa tion. The artist chose as a time for his painting the passing of the island of Tenerlfe.' The Glacier, which is Com mander Ilosley's "flagship." leads the line, followed by the Caesar aud the Brutus, the ships being attached direct ly and indirectly to the dock. The ocean going tug Potomae acted as a tender .and ia shown in -the fore ground of the -picture.- The -Potomac left the expedition- at Suea and return ed home, being now at League Island navy yard. A similar tug was "scut out from Cavite and win acconipa"tiy the dry dock from Singapore to its destination. IS Mouse WE HAVE THE BUYER YOU HAVE THE HOUSE. LIST IT WITH US AND BRING THE TWO TOGETHER.
