he has acted in the capacity of secretary.

Doyle, the captain of the Peorias, had
been so offensive and insulting in his Ian

latter had imposed two fines. This hav
ing no effect, the umpire appealed &c
Manager Flynn to call Doyle off the field
Flynn refused to comply. and Kinzie per-
sonally ordered Doyle from the grounds
He refused to 60 and at the end of the
fifth inning Kinzie declared the game

standing 5 to 5.

An Indolent Organ.

When the liver is indolent, as it must
necessarily be when it fails to secrete the
bile in sufficient quantities to meet the
requirements of digestion and evacuation.
it should be set at work with Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. The healthfnl stimu-
lus to activity impaired by this incom
parable alternative. speedily evinces itself
in departure of the uncomfortable sen.
sations in the right side; the nausea, fur
upon the tongue, indigestion, and sick
headache consequent upon inactivity OF
the liver and the diversion of the bile
from its proper channel. Irregularity OF
the bowels is always and psinlessly re-
formed by the corrective indicated, which
is infinitely to be preferred, both because
it is safe and more efficacious, to blue
pills, calomel and drenching purgatives
of every class. 1t cures and prevents
fever and ague and rheumatism.

MISS BARTON AND HER WORK.
A great many inquiries have been made
by those who evidently have not kept
themselves posted on the relief work in
this country in recent years, as to what is
the Red Cross society, and who is Clara
Barton to whom the Rock Island funds
are sent?
The presence of Clara Barton and her
assistants at Johnstown is felt every
where in the flooded district. They
walk noiselessly about in the church.
used as a hospital. easing the sufferings
of the wounded Their advent at
Johnstown was benedIction. They
are miDistering angels of christian love
and pity.
Clara Barton is native of Maine. She
was teacher in early life and founder
of some free schools in New Jersey. In
1854 she went TO Washington to be q
clerk In the government service. She
resigned at the outbreak o! the war, and
went into hospital service. Clara Bar
ton appeared in Strasburg the morning
after its capitulation to the Germans
with scarlet cross wrought
in her sleeve above the elbow.
Her humane work was carried
on in Paris after the fall OF the commune.
When the Mississippi overlooked its
banks in 1884, Clara Barton appeared
laden with relief. Her work in America,
additional to what has been mentioned,
has relieved the sufferers of the Ohio
floods. Michigan fires. Charleston earth
quake, southern, yellow fever scourge,
Texas drought, Mount Vernon tornado,
and now the awful calamity at Jehns.

Clara Barton is president of the Amer

federation of relief societies in different
countries acting under the Geneva con.

meeting of the Society of Utility, which
is the International committee of the Red
