weak, too nervous, it may be that the food
assimilation is at fault. A certain amount
of bile is necessary for the reception of the
fat foods in the blood. Too often the liver
holds back this element which would help
digestion. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical

the muscles, stomach and nerves get the

COXEY AND WORKINGMEN.

Some time ago Mr.. Sovereign, the Mas
ter Workman of the Knights of Labor,
gave voice to the opinion that laboring
men all over the country were watching
the.Coxey movement with great interest,
ready to resent any indignity put upon
the commonweal army" and its COM
mander. The sentence of Coxey to
twenty days in Jail for bearing aloft in
the streets of Washington the banner of
the "commonwealers" may fairly be
considered an indignity. But there are
no signs Of the resentment which Sover
eign predicted. On the contrary the
general opinion seems to be-and it is
shared by workingmen quite as much
as by capitalists-that Coxey has been
served right. There may be some pity
for Coxey's dupes who have been left
stranded in Washington, but for Coxey
there is not particle. AS matter of
fact Coxey deserves a much severer
punishment than twenty days in Jail.
He has been guilty of the very mean
offence of deluding several hundred men
into a tramp to Washington by holding
out to them as an inducement that Con-
gress would supply them with money or
work. Unless Coxey is fool he must
have known that there twas not the
slightest probability that Congrss would
do any such thing. His whole purpose
must have been to get some notoriety
for himself A man who will deceive
two or three hundred men with no better
motive than that is not adequately pun
tshed by being shut up in Jail for twenty
days.
The great majority of the workingmen
of the country have always taken the
correct view of Coxey. If Mr.. Sovereign
thinks they looked upon him as Moses
he is very much mistaken. They have
regarded his movement with mingled
amusement and disgust, just as every
body else possessed of common sense has
done, and probably their only regret is
that he got into Jail at the end of his
march instead of at the beginning, when
Imprisonment would have broken up
the movement before it had fairly begun.

THE BUCKLE FAD UPON US.
Being Collected With Vim the Souvenir
Spoon Knew Not.

The merry maidens of Gotham are now
collecting buckles. They prefer new
buckle to box of bon bons or bunch
of violets. and when presents are not
numerous their own allowances dimin-
ish with startling rapidity. Cause
the boom in buckles. The dainty sum-
mer shirt waists are, in a measure, re-
sponsible for this buckle craze. They
require belt, and the belt requires a
buckle.
The silver buckles are the most popu-
lar. They are long and narrow, or
round,and much ornamental. Some are
of fligree while others are plain or oxi-
died. Buckles of black enamel inlaid
with silver or gold are effective upon a
delicately tinted ribbon belt. The gold
buckles are beautiful enough to warrant
the price at which they are sold One
represents gold hoop, around which
snake has twined it's body. The eyes
are glistening emeralds.
Plain gold buckles have the owners
monogram engraved upon them. Among
the newest silver bucklessare those in
laid with pale blue enamel. Delicate
buckles of tortoise shell are also seen
this year inlaid with gold or enamel.
The buckles which adorn the tennis belt
are sure somewhere to show a race net.
A new buckle to be worn with yachting
gown is of Roman gold shaped like an
anchor, with bronZed cords coiled about
it. A dainy buckle attached to white
ribbon belt was formed of wreath of
blue nameel forget-me-nots. Jewel boxes
made especially for buckles are now he
ing manufactured. -Philadephia Times.

Some Tea Secrets.

Owing to the jealousy of the Chinese
government, preventing foreigners from
visiting the districts where tea is grown,
and the information derived from the
Chinese merchants at the shipping ports,
scanty as it was, not being depended on
with any certainty, much mystery and
confusion for a long time existed re-
garding the species yielding the varie-
ties known to trade as green and black
teas by which names they are best
known to the public, many authorities
contending that the former were pro-
duced exclusively from the green tea
plant and the latter solely from the
black tea variety. while again it was
held by 9th rs that both commercial
varieties ere produced from a single
species, the difference in color, flavor
and effect being due entirely to a
disparity of the soil, climate, age and
for market; also that green teas were
grown from plants cultivated on the
plains and low lands, in soil enriched
by manure. and black teas from plants
grown on hillsides or mountain slopes.
Later and more careful investigation,
however, disprove all these opinions, it
being now admitted, even by the Chinese
themselves. that the green and black
teas of commerce may be and are pre-
pared at will from either and both
species of the tea plant, different
methods being pursued in the process of
curing from the first stage, green teas
being only distinguished from black by
the fact that the former are not ferment-
ed in the process of curing or tonefied as
high or as often by excessive heat as
the latter in the firing process, to which
they are subjected before being twisted
or curled.
1t was also commonly received opln-
ion at one time that the distinctive
color of green teas was impaired to them
by being fired in copper pans. For this
belief there is not the slightest founda-
tion in fact, as copper is never nsed in
the process of firing leaves, repeated ex-
periments by unerring tests having con-
clusively proven that not in single case
has any trace of that metal been de-
tected, the only difference lying iu the
different methods of preparation. -

THE FLESH CREEPS.
AT An Unexplained Sight In An Iowa
Graveyard.

a tale worthy of the pen of Edgar
Allan Poe. and for every detail of which
there is absolute proof, comes from the
little town of Washta, in Cherokee
county, Iowa. Last fall an old German
couple named Schultz were murdered
in their home near the town. The deed
was done in the middle of the night,
themselvs, with nobody else in the
house. The murderer entered the house
and split open the heads of both with
an AK. He then took a considerable
amount of money that had been in the
house for several days and decamped.
He was never located. but suspicion
pointed strongly to VS.. Florence, who
had been hired man in in their en-
ploy at the time. After few weeks
during which there were only whisper
lngs and no move was made to arrest
him, he left and went to Nebraska. AS
soon as he left the stories gained new
currency, and the result was that detec-
tives were sent out to find him. They ar
rested him and took him back to Chero-
kee. He was examined and discharged
by the grand jury for want of evidence.
about the time that the grand jury was
in session the relatives of the murdered
people placed plain marble headstone
over the grave in which they had been
buried in slittle country cemetery in
sight of the house in which they had
lived. A few weeks after Florence hav-
ing meantime disappeared again, strange
stories began to be told about this head
stone. 1t was said that face was be-
coming developed on the side of the
stone that faced toward the house where
the murder was committed. The thing
became common talk and the stone was
an object of greatest curiosity. AS time
went on the face became more and more
distinct, until now it is declared by
hundreds who knew him to be an exact
portrait of Florence. 1t has been grow
ing steadily palmer. The features are of
a large dark man, with heavy mustache
and SLOUGH hat, just as Florence ap-
peared. A marble worker who examined
the stone says that the face has devel-
oped as result of the corrosion of the
rust and other natural i'm perfctions in
the stone, and could not possibly have
been placed there artificially. The
manifestation has caused much SUPER
stitious comment

NEW ENGLAND CHEATED.

One of the boonsn promised New
England in case of the election of Cleve-
land andsa Democratic Congress was free
who perambulated this section two years
ago had great deal to say about
languishing iron industries, and the re-
viving effect upon them of free raw
materials. With coal and iron free they
said the business would Immediately
pick up, and they held out on every
stump and platform from which thew
spoke as inducement to vote the Demo-
Garlic ticket that those raw materials
should be free if Cleveland and
Democratic Congress were elected. Yet
on Monday every Democratic Senator
but one voted solidly against putting iron
on the free list, and later they will vote
against putting coal on the free list too.
We are not going to charge the Demo-
cratic orators who made these promises
with Intentional deception. Their plat
form called for free raw materials and
they had right to assume that the party
would live up to it. Perhaps they were
honest. At auy rate let them have the
benefit of the doubt But honest or dis
honest it is evident that every New Eng
land voter who voted the Democratic
ticket because of their promises have
been cheated. And he has been cheated
too for the benefit of some other Demo-
cratic voters. Iron is not put on the free
list simply because the Democrats of
Alabama and West Virginia and Mary
land want it kept on the dutiable list in
order to protect their industries These
Southern Democrats endorsed the de-
claration of the Democratic platform
that protection was robbery, but they
insisted as soon as they got the chance

In the Cheering-Up Business.

When the hard times began last year
it was reported that clever woman de-
clared that if she had to earn her living
she would become general sympa-
thizer," going to anyone who wished to
pour out her troubles and worries, listen
ing and comforting for fixed sum per
hour; the interviews TO be strictly con-
fidential, and the professional sympa-
thizer never to allow herself to have
pains or trials greater than those of her
client. This seemed an odd little fancy,
as impracticable as original, until short
time ago, when, reading over the lists
which woman's exchange prepares to
upon this item: SIN the cheering up
business. A lady who has had success
fulsexperience will read to or amuse in
valids or convalescents. Then there is
such an occupation after all and one
cessful as well. How does she manage
her delicate work? by what cunningIy
devised means has she bottled up the
sunshine which carries its brightness in
to the lives of those who are strangers
to her and from what founts does she
draw sparkling celebrating draughts?
and who. after she has spent her day
in reading to and amusing invalids
and convalescents" cheers her when twi-
light gives hersback to herself?
1t is beautiful and self-effacing oc-
cupation, demanding special gifts of tact
ard sweetness, and calling for keenness
of eye and quickness of ear, and also,
contradictorily enough, for certain
judicious near-sightedness and mental
deafness, which can leave unnoticed and
unheard all that tends to mar the per-
feet harmony which it is SO essential to
maintain. Yet while as means of
gaining livelihood the business is I'M
doubtedly new, it is really an old, very
old, vocation, to which from time i'm
memorial women have spontaneously de-
voted themselves. --Harper's Bazaar.

Senator Kyle is said to have testified
before the Senate investigating COM
mittee that he was offered large sum
by Major Buttz to vote against the
amended tariff bill. Unfortunately the
exact testimony of Mr.. Kyle is not given
to the public, owing to the decision
of the committee to sit with closed doors,
and where the report of the substance
of it comes from is not known; so that
the degree of reliance to be placed upon
it is uncertain. 1t is extremely improba-
bly, that any interest that was rich
enough and wicked enough to offer $780,
600 for senator's vote would have en-
ployed a man of no more shrewdness
than was displayed by BUTTE in his ne
gotiations If Buttz actually. made any
offer he undoubtedly made it on his
own responsibility and with the inten-
tion if he found the Senator weakened to
it, to try and get somebody to back it
up. But Buttz says he made no offer
at all, and it is to be said in his favor
that he publicly denounced the story
when it first appeared and demanded an
nvestigation-and he didn't ask either

iron schedule was Hill of New York.
He voted for free iron. Mills, the most
blatant of the free traders, who only
week ago announced that he should vote
against all the amendments to the bill
as it came from the House, voted for the

SOCIAL NEWS.

The energy that is usually expended in
social functions seems at the present time to
choose for itself a different direction. In
stead of the aforetime popular afternoon
teas, with which Jersey City society in COM
mon with the rest of the social world used to
pretend to amuse itself, morning and after
noon classes in some branch of study or
other are quite the thing. One is nowhere
if she do not belong to a literature class, to a
mythology class or to a history club.
Mythology especially seems to be the sub
ject for excellence this spring. Jersey City
women seem to be absorbingly interested in
the birth and growth of myth than which no
,ology is more fascinating.
Mrs. James Robottan, whose speciality this
subject is, has a class of fourteen, which
meets at the residence of Mrs. DR.. Durrie on
Glenwood avenue each Monday morning at
half-past ten. Mrs. Robottam prepares for
her class pleasant little talks on the subjects
for the day and there follows informal dis
cussion. Having begun with Uranus
and Gaia, the class has now
reached Venus. They expect soon to
visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art
to study carefully there the beautiful stat
uary of the mythical gods and goddesses.

"Bea-My-Chre a charming dramatiza
ton of a story from the well known novel
'.The Deemster, y was produced in the Acad
envy of Music last night by Wilson Barrett
and his famous company. Since the well
known actor elaborated in the work of
adapting the play he was naturally at home
in the role Dan Mylrea, which he created.
Throughout the changing moods of this
character Mr.. Barrett displayed the most
finished versatility and won loud applause
from q crowded house.
Miss Maud Jeffries was simply charming
as the daughter of the Deemster. All the
grace and tenderness which the role de-
mands was displayed q poutrdnce. One
could not wish a better i-mpersonation.
Stage setting, costumes, and all the acces-
saries relative to this play were superb. The
minor parts were exceedingly well played.
Miss Cooper Cliffe, F. McLeary and A. Mil
ford deserve warm praise for thoir clever
work.
Simply constructed as the plot is, yet in
its very simplicity lies it greatest charm.
