Co ) Paul Westover had every reason to congratulate himself upon the success of his new book. The public received it with gratifying approval, and the critics bestowed upon It Being a first-borcommendation. however, the critics felt bound to patronize both It and iU writer In their customary paternal fashion, snd whils lauding Its other excellent qualities they pointed out and dwelt upon the of the improbabilities main Incidents in which Mr. Weat-oveheroine was centered. That this should be o was only natural. Mr. Westover was ridiculously young to know anything of the Impenetrable feminine, and yet he had dared to make Gertrude Warner the story of a woman's life, s story of many strange phases, and of curious though Incorrect, said the reviewers, Insights into the workings of a young girls mind. Westover was almost on the point He of accepting the critic's dictum. had fancied that his portrayal of Gertrude Warner was well and clearly imagined. but after all what could he, 1 bachelor and Impressionable, know ot women. The reviewers must be right Gertrude Warner was falsely drawn. But there was at least one person who did not think with the reviewers. d The author received in his mall from hts publishers a long letter that was truly startling to his elf possession. Its full length may Dot be given here but Its gist U contained In a couple of paragraphs. You are evidently very intimately acquainted with the story of the darkest passages In my life, but surely it wss unnecessary that the details should be made public so faithfully and so callously.

Her husband says, Now, dont get the blues I You will be All right after you have taken the doctor's medicine." But she does not get all right. She grows worse day by day, until all at once she realizes that a distressing female complaint is established. Her doctor has made a mistake. She loses faith j hope vanishes : then comes the morbid, melancholy, everlasting blues. She should have been told lust what the trouble was, but probably she withheld some information from the doctor, who, therefore, is unable to accurately locate her particular illness. Mrs. Pinkham has relieved thousands of women from ust this kind of trouble, and now retains their grateful fitters in her library as proof of the great assistance she has rendered them. This same assistance awaits every sick woman in the land. ra newly-fledge- Mrs. Winifred Allender's Letter.

At the last annual meeting of the National league a law wae passed prohibiting any club member from carrying more than sixteen players on Its team. At that time Manager Loftus made out a list of players who he expected would constitute the team, which differed from the above only slightly; the changes which have been made were forced upon him by the desertion to the American league of some of the players Every player named In the above list has been signed at his own terms, therefore each should be perfectly satisfied with his condition.

The loss of Messrs.. McGraw, Robinson, Criger, Young, Schreckongost and Hemphill, makes a huge hole In .the St Louis club. It makes the catching department the weakest in the entire land, not a single minor excluded, kills the third corner and removes a ontflelder, who highly promising while not needed at the present time, would gain a regular berth within the next several seasons. The Pittsburg team Is now practically completed for the season, Jack OConnor being the last to come Into the fold. The local officials had little fear that the scrappy catcher would not line up, but from some of his talk It was thought that Jack favored the American league. With the salary and certain. Jack is too wise to leave the National league for aa experimental organization. Dick Padden, who waa captain of last years Chicago American, league team, haa signed to play with SL Louis.
