The systoms of Biliousness are un
happily bnt to well known. They
differ IN different individuals to some
extent. A Bilious man is seldom a
breakfast eater. Too frequently, alas,
be has an excellent appetite for liquids
but none for solids Of morning. His
tongue will hardly bear inspection at
any time If it is not svhite and furTed,
It Is rough, at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out
Of order and Diarrhea or Constipation
may be d symptom or the two may
alternate. There are often Hemor-
rhoids or even loss of blood. There
may be gidainess and often headache
and aeiiity or fatulence and tender
ness IN the pit of the stomach. To
correct all this if not effect cure, try
Green's Aagast F7otgsr, it cost but a
trifle and thousands attest its efficiency.

A Handsome Testimonial.

A Handsome Testimonial.
County Superintendent o. H. Hoffman
held his fnal examination for teachers
certificates in Pennington last Saturday
On this occasion Mr.. Hoffman was sur
prised, though pleased, to see so many of
the teachers present, and concluded that
they, had simply met to give him kindly
farewell Along in the middle Of the af-
ternoon be was given to understand what
the gathering meant. At the proper mo-
ment the teachers surrounded him and
Prof. George Fleming, in a very compii-
mentary and touching address, presented
Mr.. Hoffman with m elegant gold watch
and chain in behalf of the teachers of the
county. Mr.. Hoffman was completely
surprised, but managed to return his
hearty thanks to the teachers. On the
inside of the case is engraved the words:
80. II. Hoffman; From the Teachers OF
Hunterdon County" The watch was
bought at Mr.. A. Parker's jewelry store,
Pennington, aud was selected with great
care by his righthand man, Mr.. John OFT.
The relations existing between Mr.. H.
and the teachers were always Of the most
friendly character, That he was one of
the best qualified Superintendent the
county ever had goes without saying.
His whole soul was thrown into the work,
and it is through his intelligent and we'll
directed efforts that the State Superin-
tendent freely gives the schools of Hun
terdon the praise of being second to none

Italian, French, Scottish, German, Ameri-
can, Swiss, English, Persian. Canadian
and Irish. Each author is presented In q
concise and brightly written biographical
sketch, following which is specimen OF

Pennsylvania STATE FAIR.
September Sd to 10Th, 1888, Broad an,
Lehlgh Avenue, Philadelphia.


In addition to the regular annual exhi.
bition of the Pennsylvania State Agricul-
tural Society, which is always first-class-
never exceeded and seldom equaled by
any State or providcial exhibition in
America-there win be the following new
aud fresh attractions during the Fair Of
1888:
1. The facilities for reaching and leav-
ing the grounds will be greatly improved.
Exceptionally low railroad rates.
2. The accommodations on the grounds
for ladies and children, as we'll as men,
have received special attention, and will
be far 10 advance of other years.
3. The trotting-track has been materi-
ally modified since 1887, the curves
heightened, the roadway broadened, and
everything removed that heretofore pre-
vented a full and nnobstructed view of
the entire course from the grand stand.
4. The increased prizes to be awarded
for horse back riding, ladies as well as
gentlemen, insure that much additional
interest will be manifested in this direc-
ton. While there will be premiums for
speed and fancy riding, the main object
will be to encourage ease and graceful
ness with health-giving exercise in eques-
trianism; and competent judges will also
be selected to award very liberal prizes
for style, smoothness, and variety of gait.
D. More liberality will characterize the
premiums for trotting, running, and
jumping matches; while the strictest rules
will be observed regarding the character
of the participants.
6. Semi-daily Polo matches will be had
of the most pleasing, interesting aud ex-
hilarating description; the renowned Polo
party Of Providence, Rhode Island. hav-
ing been engaged to be present. This as
ISOLATION is composed of number Of the
most active and wealthy young business
men of Providence and vicinity, and,
though experts in the dashing methods Of
Polo, are not to DO classed with rowing
professionals of any type.
z. The new aud thoroughly pleasing at
fractions for ladies will far surpass other
exhibitions. Much attention has been
given to the departments 10 which they
are more especially interested; aud there
will be more liberality and diversity Of
premiums for articles of domestic manu-
facture, and of home handiwork Of skill
full female fingers, than heretofore dream
ed Of The best talent has been secured
this year that the exhibits shall be pro-
perly shown and the true merits of ar
ticles conspicuously displayed.
8. Pleasing entertainments for children
will be prominent and unusual feature.
0. Better music will be had this year
than ever, and in greater variety.
10. 1t is expected that the present ex-
hibition will far excel that Of any former
year.

cation to

ABOUT rHosElmpoRrEp BLANKETS.

ABOUT THOSE IMPORTED BLANKETS.
From The Nsw York Tribune.
Numerous letters have been addressed
to this office, asking for Information re-
ganding the contract for blankets entered
into BY the War Department and an En-
glsh firm last year, so that brief state
ment of the facts Of that extraordinary
transaction seems TO be- the shortest way
of satisfying large circle OF inquirers.
On March 25, 1887, the United States
Government advertised for bids for the
purchase of 1000 blankets for iheunse Of
the medical department OF the Army,
There were foreign bids aud American
bids. The lowest foreign bid was for a
four.pound blanket at $2.25. For the
same pound blanket the lowest
American bid was S2.56. The contract
went abroad, the Government taking I'D.
vantage of the law which permits the
United States TO bring in goods free of
duty. There being such small surplus
in the Treasury, 1t became necessary, Of
course, to save every penny, even though
English labor made those 1000 blankets
for the use Of the Army, and American
labor was to that extent boycotted by o
Democratic Administration.
Aside, however, from the lack OF pa
triotism which IL displayed, this transac-
ton furnishes an excellent illustration Of
the fallaoy of the Presidents theory,
which he propounded In his free trade
message, that the tariff "raises the price
to consumers of all articles imported aud
subject to duty by precisely the sum paid
for such duties" The duty on blankets
of the quality advertised for by tho War
Department is Is cents pound and %
per cent. ad valorem. Eighteen cents a
pound on 1900 blankets Of four pounds
each is 81, 444, and 80 per cent. ad valorem
Is 81, 576. 40, making total duty on those
1900 blankets, which were bought from q
foreign blanket maker, OF 5000 40. The
cost Of those blankets, therefore, with the
duty added, was 81, 520.40. Now. IL the
President were right in saying that this
duty is added to the price paid by the
American producer, then 81, $50. 40 is ex.
actly what the American price would
have been. But IL was nothing Of the
kind. 1t was exactly $5, 100, or ", 400
less than the foreign cost, duty added.
The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1888-08-29

The Jersey City Herald, Democratic
newspaper, calls Congressman McAdoo
"Billy, the Jumper" and proceeds to ex-
coriate him for his erratic course on the
tariff question as we'll as on political mat
ters generally. 1t call him humbug, a
hypocrite and harlequin, and relates
some instances to prove the correctness
of its conclusions. Being elected by the
votes of Irishmeu, the Herald says he
would betray them tomorrow, just as he
betrayed Randall, for the sake of political
patronage. Il is evident Mr.. McAdco
has stirred up great ado BY his vote for
the Mills bill, and 1t is not unlikely his
constituents will regulate him to private
life.

The time has come for mid-sum-

are ready with the rest Of our COM
petitors to offer special prices on all

we are offering at very low prices an
extra large line of Swiss flouncings
and edging. These goods have just
been bought, and are very cheap.
You will find low priced desirable
