Bile in aigeneral point of view, but is judicious
aud prudent when that help is enlisted in be-
hall of the right side of the body, just over the
lower ribs in the region of the liver. The most
efficient help is afforded by Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, an anti-bilious medicine OF incompara-
BILE efficacy. Inaction of the liver is accompa'
Mel by constipation, sick-headache furred
tongue, nausea occasional vertigo, an uupleas-
ant breath, yellowness of the skin and ball Of

complaint, routed by the Biters is accompanied
by them IN It's flight. Fever and ague, which
always involves the liver, dyspepsia, rheuma

dies to the early relief and final cure OF which
this standard medicine is adapted. Don't us'

his novel, "Miss Lou" now running
in the Cosmopolitan. Only few
weeks before, he had made a special
journey south to collect material for
the accurate conclusion of this story
reviewing the scenes he had witnessed
during the war as chaplain of New

dustry he had written every morning
on the story, and on July 10th the
last chapter was done That evening,
as he was reading from his iavorite
Hawthorne to parlor full OF friends,
he was suddenly seized with neuralgia
of the heart, and in hall an hour the
robust author had finished his own
life's story. Mr. Roe was in the ripe
maturity of his powers, and repeatedly
pronounced "Miss Lou" "the most

What American Paper Manufacturers Say
Of the Mills Bill
At the Hearing OF Their Annual Session
Yesterday.

SARATOGA, July %,
The American Paper Makers Association
held its eleventh annual session toda,
and officers were elected E. c. Roger,

I presidents is c. d, Brown. Portland, Me.
| Warner Miller then addressed the
association ON the tariff
In 1879, he said. movement was made 10
put news prints wood pulp on the free list.
The speaker resisted il successfully. and
thereby gained the name of 'Woodpulp
Miller" which he considered a title of no.
bihty. The result of keeping the tariff on
paper has been that home competition in less
than ten years had reduced news print from
cents per pound to 1 l-2 cents, and five
cents for better article. The tariff on soda
ash encouraged its Manufacture in this coun-
try, and reduced the price. Alum has also
been made here some and prices kept down.
The Mills bill puts alum on the free list
Foreigners will break down the home manu-
factures- Bleaching powders are all made
abroad and foreign trusts" have put up the
prices as high as they will bear
He estimated the bleaching powders 80 per
cent. higher than he would if the tariff in-
duced home capital TO enter into the business
and said i'll 1883 he consented to the reduc-
ton OF the duty ON wood pulp, He thought
It had a bad effect Oh the labor question.
The paper makers never had any trouble
with their employers as the manufacturers
had. They did not have 50 many in body.
and the paper makers encouraged skilled
employees to get homes for themselves, and
take an interest in schools and other matters
to benefit the country. There is no feeling
OF antagonism between the papermakers and
their employees.

COLORED CONVENTION.
Democratic Ticket Ends in a Series of
Rows.

The convention of negroes called by }. NJ.

the democratic national ticket, consisted TO
day aof series of rows. Turner who was
defeated in the caucus last night
by delegates who prefer to be
considered simon pnrc democrats and
not independents was reinforced today, and
while not strong enough TO shape the conyen-
ton 10 suit himself, he had notes enough to
make considerable trouble,
Charles H. Shelton of Evansville, Indiana,
and Noah rummer of Massachusetts, Mass,
the caucus nominees for temporary chairman
and secretary were chosen, but when it came
to etiectlug permanent organization a seri-
Gus trouble began. The majority favored
Peter ii. Clark of Ohio, for chairman, and
Thomas Fortune of New York, for secretary.
A vote was called for, and the Turner faction
was charged with dOctoring the ballot, SO it
was declared u tie of y, and against the
ticket. W. 7. Scott Of Cairo, Illinois, re-
seuted the charge.
Charles Oglesby, Columbus, Ohio, said it
was true and that the correct count should be
30 against 30 for the majority report. Scott
called him a liar and ogIesby struck Scott.
This led to general exchange of blows. Og-
esby and Scott were forced into the rear of
the room here they drew rev Jkers but po-
licemen rushed in and put them under arrest.
They were released though, aud in the in
terest of harmony Clark was permitted to
preside. The convention then adjourned
