Don't CO off Before You Are Ready,

Particularly on long journey. Be fully pre-
pared. You cannot be, permit us to say, unless
you are accompanied with the travellers and
tourists vade n1ecarm, Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers, most genial of appetzers, acclimatizers and
promoters Of digestion. Against seasickness,
malaria, cramps and COLES begotten of badly
cooked or unwholesome food and brackish water,
nervousness increased by travel, chronic bilious
ness and constipation, the Bitters is a sovereign
preventive. 1t imparts relish for food not Alto
gether to your taste, and prevents it from disa-
greeting with you. Never was there such a CAPT.
tai thing for the unfortunate dyspeptic who stands
in dread of the best cooked meal. Stomachic
trouble caused by ll.prepared viands aboard
ship, on steamboats,, and rations hastily bolted at
railway restaurants, is soon Iemedied by the Bit
tiers, which gives quietus also to rheumatism,
kidney troubles and insomnia.

Pennsylvania Converts Return Penniless
From the Promised Land.
CHAMBERsBURs, Pa, Nov. 16.-[Special I
The Mormon propaganda in the rural
districts of Pennsylvania seems to be fall

Mormon missionaries made their appear.
ance in various parts of Franklin. Fulton
and Adams counties and assiduously but
secretly pursued the work of proseIy tizing.
They chose the most secluded localities.
and at length succeeded in making twenty.
five or thirty converts. Shortly after en-
bracing the new religion these converts sold
their farms and set out for the promised
land in Utah.
A few days ago Stephen McPherren and
seven of his friends with seven children,
reached Waynesboro, down in the lower
end OF this county, penniless. hungry and
ragged. having returned from Salt Lake on
third-ciass tickets with short rations.
They had been gone just year, but in
that time there ruin had been completed.
Their homes in Utah, they say. were in q
narrow valley between precipitious mount
aims, over whose tops the sun shone for
four hours out of twenty-four. Although
the land was productive, the cost of liviHg
was so high that they exhausted all their
resources. and they had become thorough
ly sick oi.the venture. Accordingly they
returned home.

Many Banks willing to Subscribe 70 the

LONDON, Nov. 16-The Scottish bank
will have . meeting today for the purpose
of adding to the Baring's guarantee fund.
The whole business world has shown
alacrity IN subscribing. and when all
provincial and other subscriptions have
arrived the total sum will be such as will
make the whole incident triumph of the
organizers Of the fund. Beside ga, ,OOO, 900
surplus Hartner's 8 estates represent numer-
ous resources. Another large firm called q
meeting Of its chief connections Saturday,
and submitted statement, which eff
fectually removed any grounds of sus-
plcien. There are rumors of q radical
change in the personnel of the firm of Bar
ing Bros.
LONDON, Nov. 16.-Ths Barings' embar-
rassment was due to the action of the
Russian government. which. alarmed by
financial trouble in the Argentine Repub-
lie during the summer, suddenly Withdrew
f2,6O0. 900, just as it withdrew e., ,OO0, 900
from the Compton des Compts in the
spring of 1889, its action at that time re-
sulting in the suicide of the manager of
the institution and the collapse of the cop
per ring.
The Barings offered to sacrifice every
thing, but the unavoidable delay in realiz-
ing would have been almost equivalent to
an actual collapse. and for this reason it
was decided to raise the guarantee fund.
1t is rumored that Russia's agent in Paris
withdrew recently another two and half
million pounds on ruinor that the Barings
had stopped payment. The latter's assets
include 81, ,0O0 900 OF the finest paper in the
world. It is believed that three years will
be ample time to bring the firms affairs to
a substantial position
