Centaur 7+
 LLN[|NENTS.
They relieve pain. They subdue swellings. They cure burns, without a scar.

The white Centaur Liniment is now the standard remedy for Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Sciatsa ., Lumba- go, Frost Bites aked Breasts, Itch CutaneOus Erup
 tions, etc These Liniments have stood the test of time. They have performed more wonderful cures of obstinate bedridden eripples, and have alleviated more pains in shorter space of time, than have all other Lniments, Embrocations, Extrasts, Ointments and Saves in existence. Their sale is increasing reg uIarly and rapidly Their best endorsers are physi- cians surgeons and yeterinaries There is literally flesh, bone or muscle ailment upon either man or beast which the Centaur Liniments will not alleviate and generally cure. But it must be understood tlnt there are two kinds of Liniment; the White is for family use and the Yellow for horses and animals. For horses mules liabeto Spavin Ring Swee- ney Calls, Strains. Strne-halt, Po-exil, etc, the Yellow Centaur Liniment is worth it's weight in gold. We have thousands of certificates relating how valuable horses have been speedily restored by dol- lar bottle of this wonderful a-healng remedy. The is constantly told of the effect upon the human frame. Persons hobbling upon crutches fer years from Stid Jonts Tumors and old sores have. by the nse of few bottles of the &Whife Cea4@us Lini- ment been restored to the of aftheir limbs, The effects next to narvels. We will give the LiEi. ment to any person who ever heard of faiure Such 8 case has never been reported to These Lini- ments now sold throughout the habitable globe.

Texas has never been supposed to be very religious community, but the current belief must arise from ignorance of the real fervor of the people when their notice is called to any
 case of immortality Dr. s. 1. Russell one of the prominent men of Bell county, is an infidel The other night he was taken from his bed to wood 'finveigled into some woods," another account says) by company of men said to be led by members of Baptist church, stripped and addressed thus ''We know you are an tolerate no infidels in Bell county; so, by the help of God, we will stop your career of inf delity." A hundred lashes were then laid upon his naked back. He was then freed, and mo- tice posted on the tree that hereafter infidelity in Bell county will be punished by the torch and halter.

The legislature will not meet in the new cap- itol building this year, as it will be impossible to finish the work on the legislative halls by the 1st of January. The decoration of lhe halls should be completed according to the contract by December 15, but although it Is now well advanced, it willhardly be finished by that date. The work is being done with the utmost care, and will present an elegant appearance when consummated. The senate chamber decorations are exceedingly beautiful, and reflect genuine credit on the artists having the work in charge
 In the representatives, hall the work is not SO far along, but will be equally as artistic as that in the senate chamber when finished. When the decorations are through with, both halls will have to be foored, which will require consid- erable time. Even if the two halls should be in readiness by January 1, it would be entirely disagreeable getting about the building, the work being in progress on the numerous hall ways, staircases and department rooms. The committee rooms for the legislature would also be in an incomplete condition, and uninviting in every respect. The legislature has evident ly settled down to the conviction that another year will be needed to get the capitol into fit state for the legislative session, and most of the members have selected their seats in the old state house for the winter -Hartt0rd Post

MT. Farjeon said of American literature in his Lot6s club speech: :-''In intellect, Itake it, we are about level; but doubt whether you give yours full play. If you did you would depend upon yourselves and less upon foreign markets for your literature. As it at present exists, it is an anomaly which am sure you all join me in hoping will soon be wiped away, not that native art is slumbering here. You have giants among you-men whom the old country would be proud to own as sons. Born among you, working among you, are laborers in the fieldsOf literature, painting, sculpture and dramatic art whose work is great in the best senseio of the word, and who would give to the countries of the Old World lessons which would do them no harm to learn. If their num- bers are small you are principally blame, for
 it strikes me that you do not sufficiently appre- ciate them; that you place their work af too low an estimate"

What They Did Yesterday With Pennsyl-

Special Dispatch to The Tribune.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 31.-The bear move
ment in tue Pennsylvania Railroad which set in
on Tuesday after the board, eliminated to-day
in the worst panic since the Westonyille pool
last fall, which carried down ten brokers'
Pennsylvania closed on Saturday at 81, climbed
an eighth on Monday, aud another eighth on
Tuesday. 1t fell off ive~eighths Wednesday,
seyen-cighths Thursday and one-eighth Friday.
To-day It was quoted, in the early hours Of the
morning, at 81; but, from some cause, relative
to which scarcely any two brokers agree, 1t sold
doTn before the Board opened to 341, aud at
half-past 10, when the 8tock-room operations
regularly commenced, vas introduced In q
rather shaky condition. Within five minutes
it was bid in at 81 by some
hopeful ones, who believed the bottom
had been touched; but amid the widest con-
fusion and excitement was right mcrrily ham
mered down to 3311, where it hung for brief
time The bulls then grew more hopeful, but
their opponents, who had only taken breath
and from 1916 to II 80 brought it down to 50.
Here it was comparatively steady again, but IN
short time It was rushed down to 50, to
81 and then amid a scene OF indesczibable
excitement small lot was sold at 3on. This
was the lowest figure reached, and from this
point it began to rally, sales being quoted at 81,
Slg<, and SIX, with bids Of 81, but no offerings.
A Sudden stoppase OF the supply tended to
strengthen the value, and an otier was made
Ss5<, and q lol Of 100 shares on the heels
OF this sale was disposed Of at n advance, but
with this effort the supporters Of Pennsylvania
seem to have exhausted their poFers, and it fell
off again, relapsing to ss15, reviring again to
Ycrlng between this figure and 3s776.

about double the total average transactions Of

Pu1LADELpi11A, April 21.-The Reading Pail

mechanics and engineers aud others out Of EN-
ployment in the present dull times. It ha
found not the least difficulty in finding men t,
replace those who have left, in, fact, the SUD

| that it has already commenced the weedin.
! process to secure the best quality of RAILROAD
| men, and 1t has been asserted that th,
! strikers had signlhad desire to come to terms
/ That the strike has any marked result in hin
| dering the movement Of tue passenger, freight
and coal trains does not appear from the re-
ports of the Company, for tho entire list ap
pears to be in excess over the same week Of last
year. On Thursday there were ffty-one coal
trains over the main line, with m aggregate
|. coal tonnage Of 25,5S6 tons, Il quantity which
has only been exceeded by three days OF the
present year. There seems to bc q disposition
Oh the part of nearly all the companies to spun
the production Of coal, and already there Is d
much larger tonnage OF all kinds Of coal mined
hv the several companies than for the same
period OF the last two years. '.' :
r The condition OF the mining population in all
|: the coal regions is lamcntablc. In the Scbuykill
region the miners aud 1aborers have been re-
duced to almost want Of the actual necessarics.
, 1lent Of still further reduction of wages caused
: the employees to hold a meeting last Friday, not
to complain against ;rythe Company nor to
threaten. but to show that they are not unwill-
ing to labor, and to convey truthful statement
Of the actual priyatious they how suffer aud
the absolute privation that would follow the
enforcement OF the order
