minister intends to charter thiity or forty
vessels for China; many of them to be

At meeting held hero at which were
present a number of the highest politic-

of prominence, a society was organised
to collect money to provide physician* «nd

efTora of persons to >-rvt . - nurp,s have
been so numerous that no more can be
accepted at pre.uit.
The situation In China begins to affect

WASHINGTON, JL'J^Y 13.--The secre-
tary of the treasury has received a let-
ter from G. W. Rudolph, Li.'ooklyn, N.
V.. "ti the situation at Capo Nome. The
department s«*ea no reason to doubt the
it i.-<worthiness i f tlio story old by Mr.
Rudolph and suggests Its publication. It
i becoming dally more apparent to the
officials that the conditions In the new
gold filed ore almost certain to result
In great Buffering during the coming win-
ti r. .-jk( ially as epidemics of smallpox
and typhoid fever are threatened.
Air. Rudolph takes a very gloomy view
of the outlook at Nome, where he arrived
on June 12, and whence he departed on
June Of the men working on the
Nome beach, he says, not one was taking
out enough gold to pay for hla grub. The
only pluoe where he saw gold being tak
en out. he says, was between the beach
and tin- Tundra, and three men were only
making wages.
This place, he says, Is about thrtc-quar-
ters of a mile long nnd lt la all taken
up by about five hundred men. Like the
beach. It Is now nearly worked out.
Along the several creeks, the writer
■ays probably 1,500 men ara ot work.
Of the general condldtioui at Nome,
Mr. Rudolph says:
"When I left twenty thousand m .n were
In the district the only work was un
loading or putting up new buildings. Th'
former task kept about five hundred men
busy. When I left June 20, between Ave
hundred and one thousand were arriving
dally. 1 went up on the San Iilas, which
made a trip on to St. Mlchaiels and
brought down three hundred men. The
Aberdeen, on which I came back, made
two trips, and brought a few more than
five hundred. Several other boats mad^
one or more trips to St. MIchules and
brought mors.
"There are far more destitute people
nt Nome than people on the outside
know of. The water wells 1 saw were
from twelve to fifteen feet deep and are
sure to be contaminated by all these pco
pie being huddled together. There \\er-*
t><nla twenty feet deep and about three
miles long. Now you don't want to for-
get that It took more than fifty vessels
to bring all these people to Nome, to say
nothing of over 6.000 coming from the
Yukon. There ari no Inducements for
the steamship companies to send their
vessels back again for a busted mob.
You may think that I am a cold foot
miner but ask any miner who was in
tvmt country whether he saw vny gold
dust In circulation. That Is the way to
t"ll a good camp. In elghi days I 6nly
saw one man pay for a purchase with
dust. When asked about It, be aald It
was from the Klondike."

LONDON, JULY 13.-The scanty cable
dispatches received today add nothing to
the knowledge in London of the Chines*
situation, it U stated positively from
Canton that Ll Hung Chang will remain
there until the allied troops have defeat-

go north to lend his powerful aid in ar-
ranging terms of peace, co-operating with
Prince Chang, Yung Lu and the other prol

THE NEW WOMAN -
Is Making Her Appearance in All
Parts of the Land.
Mrs. Clara Makcmer, housekeeper for the
Florence Crittenden Anchorage Mission, of
Chicago writes from 802 Chestnut street, Chi-
m, cago: 44Poruna is tho best tonic I have evor
I known for general debility—a suro cure for
/ liver complaint, and a nover-failing udjusterin
caeca of dyspepsia. I have also used it iu uasea
of female irregularities nnd weak nerves com-
mon to the sex, and havo found it most satisfac-
tory."
Dr. Rachel A. Magaw, 07 W. Jefferson streot,
Springfield,O., says: "Your Peruna is worth
its weight in gold. I feel like a new woman.
I can't praise it enough. I spent a great deal ot
money on doctors, bnt nothing ever did mo any
good until I sent to you and tried your Peruna."
Tho coming of what is known as tho " new
woman" in our country is not greeted by every-
one a.H if she were a great Messing. But there
is another new woman whom everybody is glad
to see. Every day some invalid woman is ex-
claiming "I have been made a new woman by
Dr. Hartman'e home treatment." After years
lof bitter di-uppointment and suffering thoy
havo found medical relief at last. The mors
new women wo havo of this kind tho better it
will be for tho future of our country. It is only
necessary to send name, address, symptoms,
duration of sickness and treatment already re-
ceived to Dr. Hartman, Columbus, O., and di-
rections for one month's treatment will be
w promptly forwarded. Tho medicines can ho
obtained at the nearest drug Btore. Address Dr. lUrtmcn, Columbus, Ohio, lor

THE SUCCESS
Of a physician is dependent upon his ability to diagnose and
cure disease. The best evidence of such ability lies in
the voice of those who have sought and found relief

asked about my sale* and profits.

you will not turn burglar for a fort-
