Masquerade As Woman.
Boston, June 26 An autopsy per
formed on the charred remains of
Harriet Kelly, stewardess, who was
one of the two women burned to
death in the fire that destroyed the
excursion steamer Governor Andrew
last Sunday morning disclosed the
fadt that Harriet was a man. This
fact became public today for the
first time.
For thirty years Harriet has lived
as a woman and was krown on the
Q.overnor Andrew as a widow. Nu
reason for his maf querade is known.
For several years he was employed
as a domestic in aristocratic backbay
families, and always gave satifac
tion.
Lightning Kills Few.
In 1906 lightning killed only W
people in this whole country. One's
chances of death by lightning are
less than two in a million. The
chances of death from liver, kidney
or Btomach trouble is vastly greater,
but.not if Electric Bitters be used,
aa Robert Madison, of West Burling
ton, la., proved. Four doctors gave
him up after eight months of suffer
ing from virulent liver trouble and
yellow jaundice. He was then com
pletely cured by Electric Bitters.

DAMAGE SUITS
HELP & HURT
Mostly the Latter, Regarding
All Concerned Says
Texas Paper.
TOO MUCH OF THIS CHARACTER
Of Litigation, Which Has Be
come Almost An Organ
ized Raid.
'The following clippings from the
Corpus Christi (Texas) Caller.regard-
ing damage suits again?t railroads
and corporations in general, is not
only true of Texas, but is true of
Kentucky. If there isn't a halt
called along these lines, it will be
the ruin of the railroads and put
them out of business There is little
gained in the long run to the people.
The Caller says:
"That damage suit raids are an in
creasing evil as an easy method of
shaking down the corporations," is
shown by the last annual report of
the State Railway Commission just
issued.
"While no fair-minded person can
question the wisdom or justice of
making the carriers responsible for
the losses of property or life and
limb they occasion through no fault
of the victims, this character of lit
igation, so profitable to attorneys,
has in some communities deterior
ated into an organized raid. Ma
chines for the purpose are built up
in some instances, consisting of leg
gers or 'ambulance chasers,' detec
tives to ferret or invent evidence,
and jury spotters or fixers. Back of
it all are shrewd, keen legal sharks
in their dens, pulling all the strings
and financing the raid, for the lion's
share of the pelf. The hopeless vie
tim.or heirs of the Bame, for whom
the law was made, gets but a small
part of the booty.
"The Caller would not cast asper
sions upon its reputable lawyer
friends; nor upon those who en
gage in legitimate damage suits. It
knows many of them to be clean
and honorable men. However,
there are enough others engaged in
reprehensible practices to disgrace
their profession. So vast are their
operations that the results are prov
ing a serious enconomic factor in the
railroad situation in this State
During the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1910, payments for personal
injuries by Texas road aggregated
2.360,298.29, being an increase of
$150,105,14, over personal injury
payments for the previous year,
when a total of $2,190,186,75 was
paid out by the roads of this State
on this score.
"For the year ending June 30, 1909
personal injury payments aggregated
2.42 per cent.of the gross receipts of
Texas roads. For the year ending
June 30, 1910, personal injury pay
ments aggregated 2 49 per cent, of
groBS receipt3.
"Furthur analyzed itis found there
was a derease of 7 69 per cent, in
amounts paid out in settlement for
injuries and deaths for the year 1910
as compared with 1909.
"The Caller holds no brief to de
fend the railroads. It views with
satisfaction the wise legislation of
the State and Federal Goverments
to regulate them and prevent corpo
rate injustice to the people. Texas
not only limits stocks and bond is
sues, but fixes freight and passenger
rates and conditions of service.
"Despite this fact it is still the
practice of a cheap John class of
demagogues to berate the railroads
and all other capitalized industries.
"Prejudice is t h u s fomented
among the less informed classes.
This prejudice not only serves a po
litical purpose in some instances,
but does double duty in the jury
box. From it springs the morally
lax and unfair disposition of juries
to 'stick the railroad' regardless of
the merits of a case.
"Such jurors not only permit
themselves to be influenced by a
dishonest motive, but are mistaken
as to the financial benefit to result
from this legalised, but immoral
robbery.
Not an Experiment.
Paint Lick, Ky. Mrs. Mary Free
man, of this place, says: "Before I
commenced to take Cardui, I suffer
td so much from womanly trouble!
I was so weak, that I was down on
my back nearly all the time. Cardui
hap done me more good than any
medicine I ever took in my life. I
can't poslbly praise it too highly."
You need not be afraid to take Car
dui. It is no new experiment. For
fifty years, it has been found to re
lieve headache, backache, and simi
lar womanly troubles. Composed of
gentle-acting, herb ingredients,
Cardui builds up the strength, pre
venting much unnecessay pain. Try
it for your troubles, today.
in a higher freight raje. The dam
age suit judgments are an expense
item taken cognizance of by the
commission Tn fixing compensatory
rates above all, expenses, ,
"In Texas just now, especially in
our part of Texas, the great need of
the hour is more railroads and lower
freight rates. Every time a petit
jury awards a small fortune to a le
gal shark on a trumped up damage
suit, the same jurors and their
neighbors, in an indirect manner,
have to pay the judgement out of
their own toil and industry "
A Terrible' Blunder.

Bob Whites in the Land.
If the signs are to. be believed,
there will be more quail or partridge
whichever one chooses to call them,
afield next season than ever before
in the state. One cannot go to the
country these days without hearing
the birds. All around Nashville they
seem to be plentiful. Sportsmen
say the !ong-dry weather has helped
the birds very greatly, and they
anticipate good bags next winter.
Squirrels are reported to be scarce.
The timbered country where they
formerly were plentiful has been de
nuded of its hickory, and as a result
squirrels are few and far between.
But the bird prospect is very bright.
