Kidney Troubles of Women. i Dr. Pitcher's Backache Kidney Tablets the Most Suc- cessful Treatment of Kidney Ailments That Cause Women Untold Suffering. There are so many women fer ing from backache, headache, drag- ging pain in the' loins; and weary, worn-out feelings, who attribute all their troubles to some form of 'female complaint."" Nine cases out of ten the 2 kidneys are at fault, and the pois 3s which ese organs should filter out of the blood are circulating through the system and making havoc with the health. No woman can enjoy good health and be free from pain whose kid- neys are not acting properly. No woman whose kidneys are out of order can afford to delay one day in procuring Dr. Pitcher's Backache Kidney Tablets. . No other medicine ever received such® overwhelming endorsation from ¢ the women of Canada. AS A LAST RESORT. Mrs. May 332 Adelaide Street West, Porat, whose portrait appears on the Sppiite column, speaks in follow- ih; y after enjoy ing the most perfect health for many years it was a sore trial for me to realize that my health was failing. I had, in the first St Flas acute in the small of m; and was losing flesh rapidly. n other complications arose, which so weakened me that it was only with the greatest amount of determination that I could attend to my work. I tried a number of remedies and consulted several physicians without obtaining more than temporary relief, and as a last resort 1 thought would try Dr. Pitchers Back- ache Kidney Tablets.

WAS A LARGE-HEARTED MAN GAVE FREELY BUT QUIETLY TO CHARITY, me Started in Life as a Miner--How He Made His Fortune--Strikes Exist Everywhere--Co-opera- tion the Only Remedy. . (Whig correspondence, latter No. 1,315.( New York, Aug. 1,--When the spirit went out of the temple of clay it de- parted from all that was mortal of ong of the richest men of the twentieth century and the trial balance _ sheet was struck by the recording angel for John W. Mackay. Time had ended and cternity had begun. Do -wa realize that there is no such thing as chance in any mortal life ? From the youngest and oldest, from the greatest and least, all are governed by an unchangeable law and by an eternity which never ends. John W. Mac kay was a miner and up to middle age there was nothing phenomenal if his life; his associations were those of the miners -about him; he was not what the world would call an educa- ted man and yet in whatever station in life we find him it was as though some guardian angel had been a lamp to his feet, guiding him upward and onward to a higher and nobler des- tiny and riches bevond the dreams of avarice. I saw him in a, miner's cabin, surrounded by all the rude im- plements of a miner's life. I knew hin before the wondrous strike on the Comstock lode had marked him as one of the richest men hestowen to his- tory since time began. I shared the hospitality of his palace in one of the gayest and richest cities of the world. Yet there, where education and wealth were the indorsements to rank" and consideration, he lost no caste, but stood the equal of the best men of his time. The remarkable thing about John Mackay was that notwithstanding the change in his life and associations he never Tost his head--tempted as he was--where men of less power and wealth have sunk into hopeless ruin. He was a self-reliant man, seldom asking any man's opinion, listening carefully to whatever came in his way; though" a cautious talker he was a careful listener, but gathered wisdom and felt his way cautiously to wealth and power. Up to middle age his life was that of most men of his class. At this time we find him a miner, but with an observant mind that gather- ed knowledge from the characteristics of the silver ore which from that time out was to be his guiding star. . He had no money of any consequence, but in San Francisco he had two goods and O'Brien--to them he disclosed what among miners is known as the straight tip that silver in wondrous quantities was near. James G. Fair, being a mining engi- neer, was taken into the confidence of Mackay, Flood an! O'Brien and these four men formed what was known _as the great quartette who, massing their wes ih together, © defie d misfortunae and chance to ruin whatever project they might undertake. For a long time tig, mines, which were afterward known as the Consolidated Virpinia, had been subject to the most oner- ous and burdensome assessments. This was Mackay's opportunity ,Flood and O'Brien were told to buy from the over-burdened holders of the original property, who were adwis@@t6 sell, and after all the stoeK"that was sub- ject to assessment was gathered in by Mr. Mackay and his friends the stock suddenly leaped up to 600. that took place on 'change defied de- scription. Men went mad. - The stock exchange in San Erancisco seemed to be crowded with lunatics. People parted with their lands and personal property - for the purpose of buying Consolidated Virginia stock. The poor miner of one day became the multi- millionaire of the next. -Mr. Mac kay's immediate friends parted with a great portion of stock on the first pheno- manal rise. John W. Mackay held on to his stock and it was not long till his wealth exceeded that of all of the other partners. Men tried to ascer- tain the extent of his fortune. "But he never wore his heart upon "Lis sleeve for daws to peck at.' He was reticent of his condition and in a very few years his most trusted . bookkeeper could not tell the extent of his fortune. His power to conceal his thoughts was marvelous, but some es- timate might be formed of his wealth by the fact that he desired to lay the greatest ocean cable ever conceiv- ed by man and solely with his. own capital. In a little time it absorbed every thought or act of his life and being executed he then felt he 'could retire from active work and look on at the triumph of that which was the dream of his life and the crowning glory of his ambition. He called to his aid the most experienced men of his time and spared no outlay to fulfill the great hope of his life. The machin- ery for the manufacture of his tremen- dous cable 'and the cost of the im- provements that poured in on him from every side, and which would have appalled other multi-millionairesjz but they never afirighted him. When cash was wanted it was furnished on. the instant, as if it were drawn from the dazzling cave of Aladdin. Like Midas of old, everything he touched seem turned to that glittering metal for | which the world seeks and men hourly peril and give up their lives and souls, vet, like the Hebrew prophet of -old, he® was destined to die in sight of the promised Jand - whose glory he once hoped to enjoy. He had longed for the hour when he might exclaim 'withgthe prophet of old, "I have fought the good fight, I have won the victory. Bless the Lord that - mine eves have seen it; now let thy servant depart in peace." Never within my-life have I read of the success that crowned John W. Mackay's existence. In any of "his projects persecution or "envy never seemed to have followed him; he was i not ~a-large giver, either to hospitals {or colleges, but he used his great ca- | pital to fav or projects which gave em- 1 ployment to the poor. No record was ever kept of his charities; he never mentioned them himself and seldom desired other people to do it. The scene aE trick Gilmore, With sient of fifty musicians, . visited Paris for the purpose of contesting for the mu- sical 'prize that France had offered for the mbst perfect band in the world, but the wretched swindler to whom- he had intrusted the care of preparing the way to musical victory and suec- cess had squandered his capital and lost to Gilmore what he hoped would be the victory of his life. Patrick Gil- more with his band landed in the City of Paris to find that his agent had fled and he knew: not where to go, in this dire extremity. He' wrote to John W. Mackay for help. I was just, about to leave Mr. Mackay when the messen- ger entered with the letter. He cast his eye over it hastily and throwing it to. me, said: "Do you know anything about that?" I looked at it and re plied: "No, I know him as a musici- an, nothing more." "Go down and see him; ascertain what he wants," said Mr. Mackay. I went down to the hotel where Mr. Gilmore and his band were stopping and asked him what he de- sired. He told me that he was there with his band almost destitute. He was unable to get away if he attempt- ed from Paris. He might be arrested and eventually imprisoned and that his band might lose their thstruments, which would be to them very. much like a sentence to death. "How much would it require to relieve you, Mr. Gilmore," I said. About $3,000 at the least," he replied, "and I desire to say that I. may never be able to re- pay it; so will make no promise to that effect. Whatever I get must be in the way of a gift. 1 tell"you this as an honest man." I returned to Mr. MacKay and related Mr. Gilmore's ex- pectations. "How much does he want ?"' said the great millionaire. "Five thousana dollars," 1 replied. 'The devil he does," said Mr. Mackay, "What are his securities ?"' "He has none," I answered. Mr. Mackay pausea -for a few minutes and then said : "Tell him to go around among the American merchants and rich men; if they will subscribe one-half T will. give the other." 1. started for the door when he cried : "Come back, just.hand me my cheque book." He drew ga cheque for 85,000, saying, "D---- it, there is no use making two bites of a cherry." He then asked me, "What are you do- ing to-morrow ?"' "Nothing," I re- plied, "my time is entirely at your service." = "I should like to go through the exposition," he said, "and 1 desire to have you go with me." "What hour will suit your leisure ?"" 1 asked. "About eleven o'clock," he answered. "1 will be here on .time," I said, and hastened out with my joyful message to Mr. Gil- more. Next day, on our way to the exposition, we stopped at the Ameri- can consulate. A book lay upbn the table. Mr. Mackay inquired of our consul, Mr. Hitt, "What 'is this ?" "It is for the purpose of aiding the destitute where the yellow fever is raging through the south." Without further observation ' he sat down by the table and drew his cheque to aid the sufferers for $3,000. A most important question at the present time is that of the strikes, they exist in every town and city of any consequence through all the land, and they are proceeding in their or- ganization with a steadiness of pur- pose which seeins to promise victory. They begin to realize that force he- gets force, and, continued to the ex- means cannon, bayonets and and' they begin to ask them- selves in solemn council, 'Is there no better way ?" If wa have no model here on which to build, let us look abroad and sce if wea can profit, by the experience of , other lands. One shrinks with horror at the idea of a military force on one side and the striking mechanics and laborers on the other. We start from this point--the law must be maintained. If it is a bad law, wipe it out from the sta- tute books, but do it with a ballot and not with a 'bayonet. If the strik- ers are in superior numbers to those who oppose them, they = can defeat them in g legal way, for be it under: stood, under 'the constitution of the United States, the majority must rule. The terrorizing of their fellow work- men will only end in a transient vie- tory, but as the final conclusion will prove a ten times loss. A firm in England has, by the liberal treat- ment "of their employees, several hun- dred strong, rendered a strike by those in their employment impossible. They realized the old saying 'Phat all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," and so they instituted a series of holidays and excursions. The sons of their employees were taken in- to the factory as soon as they could work, and it was the happiest day of their lives when they realized that they were able to get their own liv- ing. The proprietors, instead of «sit- ting like owls looking on, mingled in the games, ericket, rowing or base- ball: anything that could de light the heart of a boy or man was encourag- ed. and the proprietors of this firm know that" you could no more induce their 'men to strike than vou could move the rock of Gibraltar. Co-opera- tion of employer and employee prom- ises to be the rg¢medv for the erving evil of strikes.

ENGLAND'S LABOR MARKET. Fifteen-Hour Job for Seven Days Pays §5 a Week. New York® Sur The state "of the market for unshill ed labor in England has been revealed by an investigator, who answered an advertisement for a 'young; sober and intelligent man to fill a positivn of trust," and has come in for a great deal of 'sharp criticism from some of the London newspapers. The mvestigator's application the job was answered by a pier pany, in Blackpool, Lancashire, pular =caside resort in the country.

The hours would be from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., Sun- days - included. Wages, £1 per week for six weeks and 25a. after to the end of season." . The applicant, not being a person with a family to support on a salary of 85 a"week in a town where the cost of living 'would be. high was humorously impressed by these condi- tions of labor, and returned this re- ply, a copy of which he also sent to the newspapers : "I beg ta say that I will be willing to wear the uniform and carry out all the duties if you could make the hours a little longer, as 1 am yery tiesirous of being fully occupied so3ds to enable me to: save a good portion of the wages you offer.

"In my last situation, which I held ten vears, I only worked asht | G\@@@@ hours a day, and Saturdays and Sun- days I was 'unemployed, which caused me to get a little demented through having #6 mich idle' 'time on my hands. 1 see your wages work out at something like 2 2-7d.
