EPOCH.

The transition from long lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the individ,
ual. Such a remarkable event is treas
ured in memory and the agency whereby
the good health has been attained is
gratefully blessed. Hence it is that SC
much is heard in praise of Electric Bit
tiers. So many feel they owe their res-
toration TO health, to the use of the great
Alternative and tonic. If you are troubled
with any disease of kidneys, liver OF
stomach, of long or short standing you
will surely find relief by use of Electric
Bitters. Sold at soc and 81 per bottle

How an Onerous Burden on the People
Might Be Lifted by American Heiresses.
LONDON. June 2S.-Despite the immense
wealth of the Earl of Fife, whose engage
ment is just announced to the Princess
Louise, it is believed that Parliament will
be called upon to dover the bride. The
Star raises howl in anticipation of this
demand, and calls upon Gladstone to take
firm stand in opposition to all dowers in
the future, until such time as the whole
system of support of the Offspringof royalty
can be settled. There are at the present
time still twenty-three Q princes and prin-
cesses unprOvided with cOnsorts. and if
claims of this nature are to continue TO
meet with recognition the total demand
upon the public treasury will be something
appalling. The nine children of the Queen
have so far cost the country in cold cash
the snug sum of f5,0O0.000, and the Star
suggests, as partial relief from the burden
which a provision for. royal princes i'm
poses, that the sons at least might make an
effort to catch the rich American heiresses
who come to Europe to be caught. In this
way some little relief could he afforded to
the tax payers. while the heiresses would
probably consider that they had got their
mOneV's worth,

GROWING MORE HOPEFUL.
Citizens of Johnstown Beginning to Take an
Interest in WOrk-Conflicting Estimates.

JOHNsTOwN, Pa, June 28.-The situation
in Johnstown is growing brighter every
day. The spirits of the people are more
buoyant, and they are beginning to feel
like returning to work. Eighty thousand
dollars in cash arrived to-day to pay the
men in the various departments. 1t was
distributed among the contractors and the
heads of the depar tments to pay the men
under them. The Fourteenth Regiment
was paid off, and, with the exception of
three companies, viii return to Pittsburg
tomorrow.
The work of registering the flood suffer-
funds was finished tonight. but the totals
have not been added. The men in charge
of the work do not think more
than 1000 persons were lost. Rev.
Beaie, chairman OF the m9rgpe committee
about 800 bodies. Ten bodies were re-
covered to-day, three of whom were identi-
fed. The greatest loss of life occurred In
Washington street, nineteen persons being
killed in one house, and the list of dead
from this thOroughfare reaching 13S. Prop
erty losses amounting to nearly S6,0OO,00
have been reported. The board of inquiry
began its work to-day in the Seventh ward,
and Will continue Tor week. They aim To
secure the number of lives and property
lost and saved.
The time-keepers in the Cambria offices
estimate that from 400 10 500 of their work
men in the Gautier and Cambria IRON
works were lost. Counting women and chill
. dren dependent on them, they put their loss
of people at 1000. They estimate the entire
loss of life at 10000. Hawes. the tire-brick
manufacturer, thinks this guess is about
right. He thinks at least 500 strangers
Were in the town at the time of the flood.

Portugal and Ask Government Assistance.
LONDON, June 2S.-The shareholders of
the company whose concession to build
the Delagoa Bay railway has been Cancelled
by Portugal, held meeting in London to-
day. 1t was resolved to resist any attempt
on the part of Portugal to take

in a grave crisis. 1t was further
determined, in the event of PortugaPs per-
sisting in carrying out her threatened ac-
tion, to call upon the British government to
demand of Portugal the payment of her
debt to England of f3,000,000. incurred in
1914, and To ask that such sum be applied
to the purchase of the railway. 1t was
also decided that the company should

on by DR.. Vincent twice. She also knew of
one Mrs. Andrews being kept in solitary
confinement, naked and without food, for

Special 10 the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, June 2S.-In the appoint
ment of Daniel NJ. Ransdell to be marshal
of the District of Columbia, which was
made this afternoon, the President has
practically restored that office to the soci-
ally important place which it occupied
under the administration of President
Arthur. Until the Inauguration of Presi-
dent Cleveland, the marshal of the District
was the social right-hand man of the Presi-
dent. Upon him devolved great many
duties connected with the executive man
sion. Whenever reception was in prog
ress the marshal was regarded as the init
mate friend of the chief magistrate. Presi-
dent Arthur appointed personal friend;
but President Cleveland selected as mar
shall q gentleman who was an entire
stranger TO him.
Mr. Ransdelrs relations with General
Harrison have been intimate, and be will
be brought into closer contact with the
Presidents family than any other man in
Washington. except il be the Presidents
private secretary. He will assume the
duties of his new Office on Monday, and
will bring his family on here later in the
season.
