methods of living-, not one woman in
a thousand approaches this perfectly
natural change without experiencing
a train of very annoying and some
times painful symptoms.
Those dreadful hot flashes, sending
the biood surg-injr to the heart until it
terms ready to burst, and the faint
feeling that follows, sometimes with
chills, as if the heart were going- to
stop for pood, are symptoms of a dan
gerous, nervous trouble. Those hot

Mail and other publications, sailed for

Oceanic
Mr. Harmsworth is suffering: with a
fever which he contracted in Florida.
When asked whether he had reason to

CURED BY FOOD.
Nature's Way to Get Well and Keep
Well.
People who do not know how to se
lect the right kind of f.xxi to sustain
them become 111. and some sort of dis
ease will show forth. It is worth one's
vhdle to tcnow of these facts.
A young woman at Grindstone City,
Mich., Mrs. A. P. Sage, btgan to run
iuwn wl;i: che was at school. She
finally broke down completely and was
taken seriously ill with a number of dif
ferent troubles. The stomach trouble
was the most serious one. Her heart
al3o troubled her so she had to sit up as
tiiEh in bed as possible. This was caused
however by her stomach.
She fays, "In the morning I would be
c weak I could hardly move. I was
kept en the simplest foods, principally
liquids. After some months I seemed to
pet a little better. thn I got worse, eo
that I finally was brought to the point
of death from non-asslmllation of food."
At thJs time a lady recommended
Grape-Nuts Food. She says "Little did
J think what a. help It was to become to
me. I became greatly interested when
I read the description on the box, that
the food was pro-uwsted and in the
thane of grape-sugar.
I had been unable to digest anything
starchy at ail, but I beran on Ors;
Jv'uta and it ivai o grateful to the taste,
end soothed my stomach wo well, that I
hive been using- it ever since, and have
iu-vr grown tired of it.
My stomach trouble Is entirely gone.
I am much stronger now and can ride
t tlij-de-and take long- walks, and have
trained verv- considerably in weight, all

IKON MARKET EXPANDS.
Trade a Confidence in Stability of
Values.
Cleveland. O., March 2S. Commenting
on market conditions the Iron Trade
Review this week says:
The iron market is broadening and
the week has brought further advances.
The buying of pig iron for delivery- after
the middle of the year is the feature in
that market and there are accumulating
signs that the trade has confidence in
the stability of values as they stand
today. That a leading interest has
pushed its purchases of basic iron far
ther forward in the year so that they
now cover outside requirements for
most ef 1901 is one significant item. The
current of demand in all lines, conspic
uously that directly reriect railroad and
airricu'tural prosperity, is deeper and
stronger; and structural operations now
promise to exceed the good indications
of the past three months.
But with all the strength shown in
everv quarter except , the east which
still lass, though perhnps the halting at
titude is not so pronounced there is no
mention of 1SP9 without the accompany
ing opinion that the mistakes of that
year will not be repeated. A conserva
tive spirit pervad?s the trade, and the
impending change in the great steel in
terests of the central west is expected
to add to rather than detract from the
steadying influence which has been ex
erted by some of the constituent consoli
dations. 1
Steel-making irons have been In de
mand again. The sales of Bessemer
amounted to about 35.0A0 tons in the
Fittsburg market, at $16.50 valley fur
nace. Some f the steel companies that
sold iron in the fall are now buying at
a very considerable advance over their
selling price. Basic and forge iron have
also been bought for the Pittsburg dis
trict at advancing prices, the latter for
pipe works. As in every other time of
special pressure upon stee-1 works the
consumption of iron pipe is increasing,
and this haa come to be a fairly reliable
index to the unusual scarcity of steel.
From the leading markets for foundry
iron there are reports of continued
strength and more than average activ
ity, all the demand, it would seem, being
for actual consumption and for the
most part to cover business actually
booked. Buyers have not reached the
point at which they feel called upon to
contract heavily to save themselves
from advances of the near or farther
future. 1
ENGLAND'S ULTIMATUM.
Will Accept Nothing- But Uncondi
tional Surrender From Boera.
New York, March 2S. Lord Kitchen
er's dispatch, giving some further details
of the battle in which General Babing
toti routed Delarey. has given great sat
isfaction, as it emphasizes the substantial
nature of the British victory, says the
London correspondent of the Tribune.
Messrs. Merriman and Sauer, the emis
saries of the Afrikander bund, who are
here now on a peace mission, are not
receiving much encouragement, and it is
more than probable that they will not
have an opportunity to air their elo
quence on behalf of the Boers at the bar
of the house of commons. Meanwhile
the feeling of the nation is decidedly op
posed to offering to the Boers easy peace
terms a second time.
The Mail, which accuses the govern
ment of having nearly betrayed the em
pire, by allowing Lord Kitchener to dis
cuss any terms at all w ith General Botha,
continues to be inundated by an enor
mous number of letters daily, showing
how widespread is the demand that the
war shall only be terminated by the un
conditional surrender of the Boers.
HAS A FORTUNE COMING.
New York Woman Heir to a Vast
Pennsylvania Estate.
Rochester. N. Y., March 2S. Mrs.
Kmma Robinson, a widow with four
children, living in this city, has received
from a Washington lawyer the informa
tion that her name appears among the
list of heirs to a vast property situated
in central Pennsylvania. In speaking of
the matter today Mrs. Robinson said:
"The property in ouestion was bought
in the year 1S00 by Mr. Hendy who was
my great grandfather or great great
grandfather. He purchased an enormous
tract cf land in central Pennsylvania for
a small figure. Some years afterward
Mr. Hendy went to England and died
there, leaving children from whom I am
descended. I came to America from
England 12 years ago. The estate was
valued at $2-Q0,000, of which my share
is estimated at jy.O'JU.OOO. There are
twenty other heirs besides myself but
I am the most directly descended. I ex
pect to go to Washington in a few day3
to meet the lawyer there and sign pa
pers necessary to prosecuting my claim."
FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE
Causes Loss of Fourteen Million Arg
entine Sheep in Last Tear.
Buenos Ayres. March 2$. A bulletin,
just issued, by the Chamber of Com
merce, says that the foot ad mouth dis
ease and the inundations have caused
more losses to Argentine farmers than
has been the general belief. It is esti
mated that in the last year about 14
million sheep perished, including almost
the whole product of likx).
The loss in wool is estimated at 33
million kilos. Cattle also suffered, but
less than sheep.
NO FRICTION OVER COREA.
Japan and Russia Not to Clash Over
.Little Island.
New York. March 28 While the polit
ical atmosphere Is thick with rumors
about the intentions of the powers with
regard to the Chinese questions, it ap
pears to have been taken for granted
that Corea was simply a dumb factor in
the negotiations.
In order to ascertain exactly how this
bufter slate regards the situation tne
London correspondent of the New York
Herald called upon Mr. William Fritcn
ard Morgan, M. P.. British consul gen
eral in Corea, who gave his views as fol
lows :
"The government of Corea was in
fluenced to a great extent, to my knowl
edge, in granting concessions to the pow
ers, by anticipating that the various
powers having these vested interests
would protect the independence of Corea
Japan would not. in my opinion attempt
to iake poKse.-isions of Corea without the
approval of the powers.
"At the same time, there is a general
impression in the east that if Russia en
croaches on Corea, Japan for her own
protection must necessarily contest Rus
sia a right. But don't for a moment
thick it likely that there will be any
friciion between Russia and Japan over
Corta.
"As to Manchuria, nobody appears fo
know exactly what has happened or is
happening there. If China chooses- to
make an agreement with Russia on this
matter I don't exactly see that it is any
body else's biu iuet-.H. ' But. according to
the papfrs today, it appears that China
is not willing t'o make this arrangemert
thoogh it is a fact that nobody but Chi
na and Rus-sia knows exactly what the
facur cf the case are. Personally, I don't
see that it will make much difference to
trade. As soun as Russia settles mat-
ter3 in Manchuria business will go on
the same as ever."
M.-. Morgan's firm is one cf the larg
est interested in the China trade in Eng
land. His view c therefore, apait from
his official position as British representa
tive in Corea, are of exceptional importance.
AFTER ENGLISH ESTATE.
American Claimants Seek: a Million
Dollar Property.
New York, March 28. Walter M.
Johnson, of Brooklyn, will sail for Eng
land today to claim on behalf of a dozen
American heirs the estate of Thomas
'Holden, valued at Sl.000,000.
But for the discovery of the will of
Thomas Holden, who died in lSt9, the
American claimants would be unable to
establish their right to the estate. This
w-ill was lost to the Holden heirs for
years. Holden left no children and two
sets of relatives engaged in "a bitter
strife over his property. Among the
effects of one of the American heirs who
died a few years ago tne will was found.
Mr. Johnson will take with him the old
will. He will have power of attorney
from the various American heirs.
Thomas Holden owned valuable real
estate in England ajid upon his death
the property went to his sister Elizabeth
and her heirs. She married Stephen
Broadbent. They had several children.
One of the sons, William Broadbent
married Jane, daughter of John and
Jane Tennant, This branch of the
Broadbent family came to the United
States about 1S30, settling in Baltimore.
They acquired a tracr of land covering
2C0 acres. A large part of this property
subsequently was sold to the Garrett
family. The Brcadbents prospered, and
brothers and sisters of William followed
to this country. There were so many
deaths among the several heir? that in
time, according to the statement made
by Mr. Johnson, only the direct heirs of
William Broadbent retained an interest
in the Holden estate. The case was
'placed in the hands of a Baltimore at
torney, who received information from
England recently which resulted in Mr.
Johnson's plan to go there and claim-the
estate.
If the American heirs are successful
the property will be divided among
Walter M. Johnson, William B. Sram
baugh, Daisy L. Stambaugh and Anna
B. Stambaugh, of this city; Joseph G.
Johnson. J. Mortimer Johnson, Eila W.
McGraham, George D. Johnson and
Ferdinand Broadbent, of Baltimore;
Phiiip G. Stambaugh, of Binghamton,
and Lady M. Durrett and Viola E.
Stambaugh, of Fairmont, W. Va.
VERGE OF REVOLUTION.
Students of Russia Join lu
Stirring Up Trouble.
New York, March 2S. -The World to
day publishes the following dispatch
from St. Petersburg, dated March 25 and
mailed to Berlin in ordar to escape the
censor:
The distinguishing and the gravest
feature of the present disturbances ?i
Russia is the tv . iHre of an ovganiz 1
combination for t f."Sf me betwee I
the students and ti. ' ing men of an
obstinately revolutionary character.
The government has driven the stu
dents into the arms " the labor parry.
Bogolepoff, the minister of public in
struction who was assassinated, was the
worst type of a Russian bureaucrat. His
administration was marked by continual
petty persecut'on of the students. The
petition prepajed by eminent professors
and certain senators invoking the per
sonal intervention of the czar was an
other proof of the panic prevailing in
oflieial circles, but the presentation of
this petition was prevented by higher
officials.
Another striking feature of this out
break is the refusal of large numbers of
the Dvorniks or yardmen who act as a
species of police reserve, to assist the
regular police in repressing
the disc
sov-
deis. thus manifesting sympathy
with
the people. ' '
No doubt is entertained here that the
outbreak will be quelled eventually, but
it will only be done at an incalculable
cost of life and suffering.

KILLED BY A TRAIN.
Nine Tear Old Boy Loses Life Under
TJ P. Cars.
Philip Ekas, a nine-year-old boy, was
run over last evening by a Union Pa
cific switch engine and received in
juries from which he died later.
He was returning from school with
other boys, and when near the Capital
elevator the Union Paclflo engine came
in to do some switching. When the en
gine started to pull out Philip Ekas tried
to climb into an open car door. He lost
his hold, however, and fell with one leg
across the rail. The engineer and fire
man could not see the boy on account
of a curve in the track, and a number
of cars passed over his leg. The at
tention of the section men who were
working nearby was attracted and they
went ever to where the boy was and
picked him up. The unfortunate lad was
first taken to his home in Little Russia,
but later was removed to Stormont hos
pital, where he died at 8 o'clock. The
wounds were dressed after he reached
the hospital, but the limb was too badly
crushed far any permanent relief to be
given. He was the son of Jake Ekas, a
Russian.
TO RECLAIM ARID LANDS.
Extensive Plans Set on Foot For
Wvork in Nevada.
Washington, March 28. Several par
ties from the geological survey, compris
ing in all about 100 men, will begin
about April 1 work on the California
Arizona border that is expected to in
volve an immense amount of labor and
the ultimate expenditure of about $10,
000,000 distributed over a period of
about ten years. This is a project to
build large reservoirs on the California
side of the California-Nevada border
line and the reclamation of the fertile
lands on the Nevada side. Chief Hydro
grapher F. H. Newell said today that
the lack of conservation of the water re
sources accounts for a steady loss of
population in Nevada.
The parties will begin operations
shortly and will work mainly along the
Truckett, Carson and Walker riers.
They wiil measure the volume of the
streams, the capacity of reservoirs and
estimtfte the cost of building them. In
the vaileys the water which can be used
to best advantage wiil be ascertained.
HENRY BURGESS HERE.
He Is the Man Who Built FirstHouse

James Kid, an Old-Time Telegrapher,
Near Death's Door.
New Tork, March 2S. James Reid, 82
years old, known to telegraph men
throughout the -world as "the grand old
man," is dangerously ill at his home in
this city. He was operated upon last Fri
day for the removal of t tumor. Soon
afterward the physicians performed a
second operation for the removal of a
smail inner cancer. The patient since the
second ordeal has been very weak.
Mr. Reid was identified with the in
ventor of the tfIeraph, Morse. He was
born in Edir.burerh and emigrated with his
parents to Toronto when he was 16 years
old.
He worked in a, Rochester, N. Y., bank
and, hearing talk of the invention of th.
telegraph, became interested and joined
fortunes vith Morse. He went to "Wash
ington, and afterward opened the first
commercial telegraph office ever con
ducted in Pittsburg. He was United
Siates consul at Edinburgh under the
first Cleveland administration and also
under General Harrison.
He came home from Scotland last fall.
