MUST FURNISH BONDS.

Adams Express Company's New Rule
For Employees.
An order issued by the Adams Elk
press company and which went into
effect on the first of the present month,
is causing some lively hustling among
the New England employees of the COM
pany. Henceforth every employe of
the company will be required to furnish
a bond indemnifylng the company
against loss through any act of the
employe.
The new rule is taken calmly by
most of the men and there are only a
few of them who object to it. ALI the
other express companies have the same
rule and the Adams company has long
required bond from its men south and
west.
The bonds will be graded according
to the importance of the positions held
by the employees. Drivers will be re-
quired to furnish an indemnity of $500
clerks from 81 900 to 1900, according tc
grade; agents from 81 500 to So, 900; and
more responsible employees $1,000 OF
higher.
The official order has not yet been
sent out, but all the employees know
that it has been adopted. The order
has probably been delayed to give the
men a chance to get ready to comply
| with its provisions.

The NEW PARLIAMENT
1t Will Commence Its Session
To-Day.
SPEAKER PEEL TO BE REELECTED.

Possible That the Home Rule Question
May be Postponed Until Cooler weather
Gladstone VIII be- Heard IL Health
Permits.
LONDON, Aug. 4.-The new House OF
Commons will assemble this afternoon.
The first business will be the reelection
of Right Hon. Arthur Wellesley Peel as
Speaker. In accordance with Parliamen-
tary tradition the motion for the re-elec-
ton of Speaker Peel will not beSmade by
member of the Government, but by pri-
vate member.
At a consultation of A. J. Balfour, the
Government leader of the House; Aretas
Akers-Douglas, the Government whip,
and Sir Algernon West, as the personal
representative of Mr.. Gladstone, it was
agreed that the task should devolve upon
Sir Matthew Ridley, Conservative member
for Blackpool, while Mr.. Gladstone will
second the motion. Should Mr. Glad
stones poor health prevent his presence
at Westminster, Sir William Vernon Har-
court will speak in his stead.
1t is possible that Parliament will be
prorogued as soon as the debate on the
address in reply to the Queens speech is
concluded, postponing the home rule
question until cooler weather.
A petition was yesterday formally
| lodged against the return to Parliament
of Mr.. Balfour as a member of the East
Division of Manchester, charging bribery,
| treating, intimidation, undue influence,
| illegal hiring and general corruption by
agents during the electoral contest.
Mr.. Gladstone this morning fully re-
sumed work. Mr.. Justin Mccarthy and
Mr.. John Dillon called and held confer
ence which lasted an hour. Yesterday
afternoon, for the first time in several
days, Mr.. Gladstone left his house, going

His Liabilities Greater Than Supposed.

NoRwALK, Conn, Aug. 4.-Thomas
Cousins, the Hoyt street shoe manufac-
turer who assigned Tuesday, to-day
places his liabilities at $21, 900, or double
the amount given out at the time of clos

$4,000. Mr.. Cousins reason for failing
is that during the past year prices hava
been cut and wages advanced so that he
could not compete with manufacturers in
other towns, who employ cheaper labor.
John E. B. Sayre, Mr.. Cousins hacker for
the past ten years, is assignee. The con-
Germ was formerly one of the leading in
dustrfes of this city.

ABOUT JOHNSTON ISLAND.
Capt. Roberts Would Like to Know What
a We Are Going to DO.

we are Going go no.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 4.-Letters from
Honolulu declare that the British cruiser
Champion arrived there July Is from her
trip to Johnston Island. The island was
formally annexed to Great Britain, the
British flag being run up. Capt. Roberts,
who is part owner of the island, lives
here. He said to-day, when asked what
he proposed to do:
"What can I do! This matter of
American possession of Johnston Island
has been before the State Department for
"a years. No patent to the island has
been affirmed or denied. No inquiry
has been made by the government, re-
garding the seizure 4 of this American
possession by an English cruiser, even
though it was announced a week ago. We
are now negotiating with Hawaii for a
coaling station at Pearl Harbor, and if we
obtain it we will be under obligations to
that government.
"With Johnston Island we had a place
that could have been converted into a
station with a harbor large enough to
accommodate every vessel in the Pacific
Ocean that flies the American flag. Eng
land has seen the advantages of Johnston
Island and has annexed it. Now what
will the State Department do; sit calmly
by or stick up for the rights of the Ameri-
can owner2"

follows: A country-bred youth is in Boston
studying to become an artist and drifts into
the Bohemian ways of a free lance. His

purse make Jack Dauber iavorite. He has
never laid up anything for rainy day, so

RlVAGES OF CA9ARRA.
Tho Many Ills That Are Duo to lS Fur.
Reaching 1nduenoea
Overwhelming Evidence Of the Beneficial
Results OF Drs. Copeland, Han and
Byers' Method Of Treatment.

Many people labor under the mistaken
idea that catarrh means simply discharge
from the nostrils, with q hawking and spit
ting of mucus; but to the observing physi-
clan who makes a speciality of the disease
the word catarrh means more. Experience
has taught him that catarrh is by no means
confined to the head alone: but that the en-
tire system is frequently affected by it.
This week DrS. Copeland, Hall and Byers
publish such overwhelming evidence OF the
beneficial results of their treatment in the
different affections named below as should
satisfy even the most skeptical. 1t is self
evident fact, ii they can cure these people,
thew can cure others. Drs. Copeland, Hall
who take treatment with thcn, and when it
is considered that tho majority OF these
patients have exhausted the skill OF their
different family physicians before consult
ing them and represent the worst cases that
come under the observation of specialist,
this showing is simply marvellous:
Treating so many patients as Drs. Cope,
land, Hall and Byers do, it is but natural
that they should be subject to some adverse
criticism on the part of few dissatisfied
ones: but investigation OF such cases always
reveals the fact that these dfsgruntled ones
have been c. reless and negligent in tho use
OF their medicine. In some cases during the
cold season patient will take severe cold
Immediately after beginning treatment and
for a few weeks feel worse than before, and
thus grow discouraged and discontinue.
Drs. Copeland, Hail and Byers. work no
miracles and perform no sorceries. They
cure catarrh, but it is by patient, regular,
systematic and metbodical treatment.
Those who put their medicine on the mantel-
piece and let it remain there day after day
without using it. will undoubtedly fail to get
a cure and this Is the class of patients who
claim thew have not been benefited.
Another thing Drs. Copeland, Hall and
Byers have to contend against is the
weather. During the severe and frequent
changes of the weather, as the season passes
from winter into spring, the high winds
which carry pneumonia and other pnlmo-
nary troubles into every family, make 1t
the treatment OF catarrhal troubles. Ii one
can only hold his own during such time he is
doing remarkably we'll Given favorable
and q reasonable period of time they can
cure any case Of catarrh. no matter OF how
long standing or degree of severity.
