BERLIN, Dec. 23.-The Liberal and
Radical papers are annoyed at the con-
ciliatory attitude adopted by the chan
cellor and foreign secretary toward the
Agrarians, and hope the day is near at
hand when Caprivi will take up the
glove and fight. The National Zeitung
suggests that the Conservatives could
easily be made to feel their folly if
Caprivi would fill the vacancies existing
in the higher offices by Liberals. The
extreme methods of thu Agrarians ap-
pear, however, to be defeating their own
ends, and small farmers are desertipg
the recently formed Agrarian league by
hundreds. The calculation is that near
ly 40. 600 farmers, or almost one-third OF
the whole membership, have already
seeded.
Underground work continues against

The duke has become a sovereign Ger

THE DIRECTORS STATEMENT.
BosToN, Dec. 23.-The directors OF the
Atchison system have Issued state
ment to the bondholders and creditors,
saying the sudden termination OF the
negotiations for financial relief has
caused temporary embarrassment and
will prevent further payment OF money
now due and interest maturing January
Iet. The continued financial depression
and the coincident shrinkage of the
market value of the securities used by
the company as collateral, compelled
reduction OF the floating debt and
caused excessive demands on the treas
ury to protect all interests and prevent
the disintegration OF the system. The
directors have consented that the pro-
lection of the courts be invoked.
The Atchieon system, as q whole, is
amply able, even under the present ad-
verse circumstances, to earn safe bal
ance above the fixed charges, if relieved
greater now than Is months ago. The

loans on collateral due on cali, 2,200.-
600; total, $6.300,OOO; interest and
other fixed obligations due January l,
1894, $4,000 900. The market value of
the securities owned by the company is
about equal to the entire amount Of the
above obligations.
President Reinhart said this evening
'Up to last Monday the management
was confident of securing the necessary
funds, but with the certainty that the
death of George G. Magoun would be fol-
lowed by attacks on the securities, the
company decided on the course taken
by the board in consenting to receiver

There is one new fashion that every
girl, whether she be rich or poor, should
adopt, and that is rainy day dress.
The short skirt is faced with light india
rubber cloth, and is to be worn with
knickerbockers and leggings. The petit
coat and skirt itself may both be sewed
TO the same band, or, as some wear them
now, the upper skirt is lined, and the
lining is left loose at the bottom and
hemmed. This affords the appearance
and protection of two skirts, when there
is really only one, but it is considered
quite permissible now, especially for
bad going" in the country, to wear the
one skirt with CATERS and knickerhock-
ers.-New York Tribune.

DIR. Franklin Miles, of Ellkhart, Ind, the
distinguished specialist in diseases of the
heart and nervous system, states that disor-
ders Of the heart are as common rs those OF
the lungs, liver, stomach, bowels or kidneys,
though often unsuspected. The reason peo-
pie are not aware of this important fact is
because symptoms of heart disease are not
usually recognized as proceeding from this
organ, but are attributed to some other
source. If you have shortness of breath,
fluttering or palpitation, pain or tenderness
in left breast, shoulder or side, oppressed or
choking sensation, fainting or smothering
spells, your heart is affected.
81 had been troubled with heart disease
for years. Myleftpulse was very weak, could
at times scarcely feel it, excitement would
weaken my nerves and heart, and fear Of
impending death stared me in the face for
