msPKov1DE AGAINST DANeER.--At this
season all the great lines of travel begin to
swarm with human beings intent on business or
pleasure. Are these moving multltudes aware
of the danger which ensues from drinking DIFF
ferent varieties Of water and breathing almos-
pheres to which their lungs are unuccustomcd
Do they realize how important It is to be pre-
armed with an antdote that will defend their
systems from the evil consequences Of such
changes and from all ailments and DISTURB ances
which arise from the miastna so plentltully
evolved from the soil at this period OF the year
Such all antidote-certuin in its protective oper-
alton and free from everything objectionable in
ITS composition and favor-has been for twenty
years before the world. No instance can be adj
duced, during that period, in which Hoste ter :
Stomach BilIers has failed rs an ace mating
medicine, or as preventive of the bodily ills to
which the undefended system Is liable in I'M
healthy localities.
A good appetite, perfect digestion, vigorous
condition OF the nervous system, functional reg
ularity, and pure and active circulalion are
the elemen of health, and these signal bless
ngs may be secured and perpctuated by The

The Treaty.

New York, May pa special from Lon
don, of the 2lst, to the Herald, says 1.-The
English papers continue to discuss the Treaty
Of Washington and the supplementary article
thereto with undmiuished interest The ed-
torials generally are inspired by desire to pre-
vent failure of the arbitration and save the
treaty An article in contrary sense printed
by the Pail Mall Gazette, tonight, is remarka-
bic for its truthful and just appreciation of the
danger Of endeavoring to save the treaty at the
expense of national susceptibility.
The following is an extract The whole
drift Of feeling aud opinion in England justlhcs
saying that the worst thing to do with the
treaty is to save it. Saving the treaty means
offence and humiliation to America OF to Eng
land or to both nations. 1t means renewal aud
not abatement of the i'll feeling it was intended
to allay How to save the treaty means who
shall eat the lcekS, or whether some meaus
cannot be invented whereby both parties shall
agree to eat it in each others presence. The
American papers appear to excaim against the
adoption of the supplementary article Here
there is only Que opinion and that is that its
acceptance would be discrediable and danger
Gus. Both peoples would be pacifed and con-
tent at once # the treaty and the negotiations
connected Herewith We're dropped, as an ir-
reuediable blunder for which the two govern
ments are alone to blame That is the proper
fate of the treaty and the only safe and peace.
ful way of dSposiug of it. .
This article states exactly the situation IN
Eugaud aud is Il just expression of the best
opinion here. 1t i, certain that persons, bank
ers, financial agents aud others who are deter
mined to save the treaty at whatever cost with
out regard to national dignity or honor are
bringing about dangerous complication: The
same with those unwise politicians who are
meeting to make party capital out of interna-
tiona difficulty The further negotiation of
the treaty will only continue an irritation that
may eventually put two proud nations in an at
titude from which war can be the only posi-
bic issue The treaty should be dropped i'm
medatcy for the sake Of national amity good
will and peace

stated or Weekly meeting,a deposit Of $l.oo to
be placed to his credit, on account of the pu!1r-
chase of uniforms. This arrangement, while
it will fall easy upon the members individually
will in very short time accumulate such

contract for the uniforms. AS will be readily
seen, however, the success of the plan depends
entirely upon the members attending strictly to
the terms of their obligations.
