THE CHARLOTTE NEWS, MAY 1 5. f 1 906. OPEN PUBZieiTY THE BEST GV71R71XTY OF MERIT. When the maker of a medicine, sold through druggists for family use, takes his patients fully into his confidence by frankly and fearlessly publishing broad cast as well as on its bottle wrappers, a full list of all its ingredients in plain English, this action on his part is the bost possible evidence that he is not afraid to have the search light of inves tigation turned full upon his formula and that it will bear the fullest scrutiny and the most thorough investigation. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription for the a re of the weaknesses, periodical pains and functional derangements of the or g:ns distinctly feminine, is the only medi cine put up for sale through druggists for woman's snecial use, the maker of which is not afraid to take his patients into his full confidence by such open and honest publicity. A glance at the-published ingredients on each bottle wrapper, will show that it is made wholly from native, American, medicinal roots, that it contains no poi sonous or habit-forming drugs, no nar cotics and no alcohol pure, triple-refined glycerine, of proper strength beifg used instead of the commonly employed alco hol, both for extracting and preserving the active medicinal properties found in the roots of the American forest jants employed. It is the only medicine for women's pocular diseases, sold by drug gf$ts, that does not contain a largo per centage of alcohol, which is in the long run so harmful to woman's delicate, nerv ous system. Xow, glycerine is perfectly harmless, and serves a valuable purpose by possessing intrinsic value all its own, and besides it enhances the curative effect of the other ingredients entering into the "Favorite Prescription." Some of the ablest medical writers and teachers endorse these views and praise all the several ingredients of which "Fa vorite Prescription" is composed rec ommending them for the cure of the very same diseases for which this world famed medicine is advised. No other medicine for women has any such pro fessional endorsement worth more than any number of ordinary testimonials. If interested, send name and address to Dr. K. V. Pierce. Buffalo. N. Y., for his little book of extracts from the works of eminent medical writers and teachers, endorsing the several ingredients ana telling just what Dr. Pierce's medicines Ere made of. It's free for the asking. CUTTING AFFAIR IN CHESTER. Mr. Will Knox Stabbed and In a Very Serious Condition Whiskey the Ceuse. Special to The News. Chester. May Id. Saturday night, in a drunken row.

Chandler and Tji I man Stand Pat. Washington, May 15. The sensa tional rate bill incident in the Sen ate Saturday during which Mr. Till man.on the authority of former Sen ator Chandler, made statements re garding the President's course in connection with pending railroad rate legislation, one of which statements was denied by Mr. Lodge on behalf of the President, had its sequel last evening when an official statement was issued by the Wrhite House, giv ing an account of the subject on the part of the President and Attorney. General Moody. The statement com prised two letters, one from the Pres ident to Senator Allison and the other from Attorney General i.ioody to the President, both datedyesterday. The President's letter is as follows: The President's Letter. "The White House. Washington, May 14. "My Dear Senator Allison: As Senator Tillman brought in your name in connection with mine in the statement he made concerning our relations to the rate bill last Sat urday. it is perhaps due you that I should write you on the matter. After the rate bill was reported from the committee, and after by vote of the committee, Mr. Tillman had been put in charge of it, many Senators and many outsiders came to see me with reference to it. Among others I was asked to see ex-Senator Chan dler as representing Mr. Tillman, who was in charge of the bill. I stated in response that I was of course entirely willing to see Mr. Tillman personally or to see Mr. Chandler or any one else who could speak for him, and I accordingly di rected my secretary to make an ap pointment for Mr. Chandler to see me. My understanding was that he was the representative of Mr. Till man. In this first interview he stated to me the views of mr. Till man, with seeming authority. He called on me several times. "During the same period I saw oth er gentlemen who professed to give the views of other Senators. In ad dition, I saw numerous Senators, both Republicans and Democrats, some of them once or twice, some of them many times. I also saw nu merous outsiders, railroad men, ship pers, newspaper men and students of traffic regulation, including es pecially the Attorney General and the members of the inter-State com merce commission and on two occa sions I saw groups of newspaper men in a mass. To all of these, Sena tors, representatives of Senators, and outsiders, alike, I made the same statement, those that I made to Mr. Chandler being the same in sub stance that I made to you and to those of your colleagues to both po litical 'parties with whom I had any I extended conferences on the subject. The letter of the Attorney General, which I enclose, shows fully the facts as to the conferences which, at my instance, he held with Senators Till man and Bailey. Those conferences were precisely such as, at my in stance, he held with many other Sen ators to determine the phraseology and discuss the effect of amendments proposed by them. "To all whom I saw I stated that the Hepburn bill was in its essence entirely satisfactory to me. The Hep burn bill as it passed the House sim ply recognized the right of review by the courts tha is, the jurisdiction of the courts but did not attempt to define it, thus leaving the courts to prescribe the limits of their own ju risdiction. This was in accordance with the ideas of the Attorney Gen eral, his belief being that thereby we avoided all danger of the bill be ing declared unconstitutional because of the attempt to confer either too much or too little jurisdiction on the courts. "To almost every amendment pro posed by any one I found that there were other excellent men who ob jected, or who at least wished to change it, and I finally became con vinced that it was impossible for Sen ators, with advantage, to use me as the intermediary in coming to an agreement with their colleagues,es pecially when they only communi cated with me through another inter mediary, and x earnestly suggested to all to whom I spoke that they should communicate with you, whose pur poses and mine were identical. About this time, I was informed by vari ous Democratic Senators that they could not come to an agreement up on any amendment and that the best chance for success lay in passing the Hepburn bill substantially unchanged. I was informed and believed that this was Senator tJailey's view; and a number of the Republican Senators who favored , the bill expressed the same opinion. Shortly after this you, in company with Senator Cullom, call ed upon me with the amendment which is now commonly known as the Allison amendment. I told you that while I should prefer the Long and Overman amendments, yet that your amendment was entirely satis factory. Your amendment does not in the slightest degree weaken or in jure the Hepburn bill. It merely ex presses what the friends of the bill have always asserted was implied by the terms of the bill. I may add, that my own opinion that your amend ment in no way changed, whether by diminishing or enlarging, the scope of the court review as provided in the original Hepburn bill, is also the opinion of the Attornev General, of Mr. Root and of Mr. Taft. Their judgment is that the amendment merely avoids the criticism that the ON MAKES Hepburn bill would be constitutional ly invalid in not expressly providing the court review which its support ers have always contended was plain ly implied in the original language. "The original - Hepburn bill stated that the venue for certain actions was in certain courts; the amend ments states that these courts shall have jurisdiction to consider such actions. To my mind, it s6ems diffi cult to assert that this works any change whatever in the principle of the bill. "Yours, sineerely, "THEODORE ROOSEVELT. "Hon. William B. Allison, U. S. Senate." .; Tillman Talks Confidently. Senator Tillman talked freely last night with a number of his callers about the statement issued by Presi dent Roosevelt. He expressed his preference, however, not to be quo ted, pointing . out that whatever he wished to say on the subject of 'the statement he. would say on the floor of the Senate. He expects that the question will be brought to the front in some way before the Senate to day. He discussed the President's statement last night with former Senator Chandler and he urged Mr. Chandler to issue a statement giv ing a full history of the whole matter Senator Tillman wanted the fact to get into "the newspapers that he did not . in any way initiate the negotia tions with the President regarding the Democratic support for the rail road rate bill and that he did not ask Senator Chandler to go tt the White House. President Invited Him. Former Senator Chandler last-night refused to discuss the statement from the White House. Regarding his visits to the WThite House, Mr. Chandler said that he did not go to the White House as emissary of Mr. Tillman, but that he went there in response to the President's invi tation. MEN'S GLOVES AND WOMEN'S. Veteran Fitter Distinguishes and Dis pels a Few Rumors. From the New York Sun. There have been various stories of the good lucx Derailing the glove fitter who has fitted gloves to the hands of rich men and women in New York stories of valuable pres ents, of aid in starting up business. They are fairy tales according to Miss Annie, the oldest glove fitter in New York at the present day. She has been fitting gloves on Fifth ave nue for "something more than thirty years. If anybody in New York knows about those who Amy gloves and their ways and their manners she does. "I"" don't know of any benefit 1 have ever received from being a glove fitter," said Miss Annie straightening herself and glaring over the counter at the reporter who hadn't come to buy gloves, "aside from my salary and the fact that I suit the people I work for. "Of course, I have - fitted gloves for the young girl who is about to make her debut. I have fitted her to her wedding gloves. I have fitted the gloves of her children, but I don't know ihat I ever got anything more than a piece of the wedding cake, if I did that. "Once in a while when I missed a day or two at the store thev ask ed for me, but that is all there was to it. Flowers? No. Of course, not. I' I had missed three days they would have forgotten me and, been fitted just as well by the fitter who took my place. There is hardly a rich woman in New York that I haven't fitted with gloves but do you suppose I entertain them with my tale of woe or that they tell their troubles to me? Not at all. "They come in here to get their gloves. That's all. And I stand here year in and year out to fit them. "I have sold them to wear here. I have sold them "gloves to take away with them to Paris .Yes There, where you can have your gloves made to order for 75 cents. They preferred to buy gloves from me to waiting un til they got over there, to buy them at tour times the price but do you suppose it was because they were fond of me or wanted to help me? No. It was because they had got used to the special sort of gloves and ljked them. "Yes. I fit gloves for men too. People have asked me if I hadn't rather wait on men than women. No, I wouldn't. Men have better all round dispositions than women, but I had rather wait on a dozen women than one fussy man. The only difference in their glove buying is that women are always dead sure that their gloves are too large and men that theirs are too small. Men won't cramp their hands. Women will. There is nothing uglier than a hand cramped into a glove that is too small for it but women will never learn that. . v ' "No. I, dont know any other glove fitters who have become rich through the benevolence of their customers." From te Telegraph Age. MADE HAPPY FOR LIFE. Great happiness came into the home of S. C. Blair, school superintendent at St. Albans, W.

Do move per sons zo insane during the strawberry season than at any other period of the year? If so, why? According to Doctor E. P. Blomer, a Buffalo physician and alienist of rep utation of the East, the statistics re garding the insane of the country in general show that each year there is a marked increase in the number cf per sons who become insane by the time the strawberry season is well under way. When the fruit disappears from the daily, table, he asserts, records of different asylums show thavnumber of cases decreases. Doctor Blomer advanced his views on the subject to C. -L. Ha'gar, secre tary or the State Board of Charities and- Corrections, during a visit to the Statehouse. He is on his way to the Pacific Coast to get definite statistics from insane hospitals in California and other Western States, and will visit the Colorado asyulm on his return journey. Doctor Blomer said he was unable to explain why insanity cases should be more numerous during the time when shortcake and berries and cream are in general use, but added that he Was firmly convinced there was some peculiar influence exerted on persons of a certain nervous temperament by strawberries. Their effect on some per sons physically, he said, -was shown to all physicians. Many are unable to eat even one dish of strawberries with out suffering from a rash 'which cov ers the entire . body. Doctor Blomer believes that in the case of some per sons the mind is affected instead of the body. Secretary Haber had never heard the theory before, but declared that the next time he visited the State Hospital he would zo over the records carefully in search of corroberation of the view of Doctor Blomer.
