The Hon. Charles E. Allen. who some
yaara ago was candidate for Congress
from the Second District, and was bad
ly beaten, HASN'T apparently recovered
from his chagrin at the failure of the
voters of Maine to appreciate him at his
own estimate. He writes to the RockIand
Opinion in regard to the recent Republi-
can victory in this state that "the knot
of political bandits that manages
Maine and large part of her deluded,
or Ignorant, or narrow and blgoted
r5ters, have won their case because their
opponents were willing to let it go by
default-discouraged by bad or unwise
ccunsels." MIR. Allen would doubtless
find more congenial company out among
the Colorado or Kansas Popuiists, shout
ing for Waite or for Llewelling.

The sudden resignation Of Capriyi
and Count EnIenburg, appears to be
little understood even in Germany. All
sorts of reasons are assigned. but there
is nothing like certa inty that any one
os them is the true one. AS the Chan
cellor OF Germany has very great in
fuence in determining the policy of the
government the prospect OF change
must create anxiety not only in Ger
many but all over Europe. Caprivi has
been peacefully disposed, and his ad-
ministration has been on the whole
very successful. As the German Emper-
or is a somewhat Eighty person. who evil
dently needs some restraint, it is of the

How the Chinese BeguiIed the laps
Over q Loaded Mine.
SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 6.-The Off
GERS and passengers Of the Belgic
could give little news of the war.
When a reporter boarded the steamer
those on deck inquired eagerly for
news, stating that the governments
had control of the wires in the two
countries and they would not let any
news get out. Little was known be-
yond that brought over in the papers.
One story was told of the remarxa-
BILE cunning of the Chinese in an en-
gagement, but the name of the place
where the battle took place was not
known. except that it was on the Cor
can border. A small detachment of
Chinese were sent out to attack a
strong force of Japanese.
The latte turned out in force and
almost annihilated the small band of
Chinese; those who were left retreat
ed and lured the Japanese on to an
underground mine. When the exul-
tant Japanese rushed forward shout
ing out victorious cries, the mine was
fred and about 500 japanese were
blown into the air. The entire Chi
nese force then squared against the
remainder and cut them down. The
general belief among the officers of
the Belgic is that the Chinese will not
be a great while in bringing the Jap
anese government to itself.

SHANGHAI, Sept 6.-The recent sur

Element limited, by the American
consul, OF two Japanese, who were
recently arrested. accused of being
spies, and who had been under the
protection of the United States. has
created a panic among the Japanese

themselves to be safe under the pro-
lection Of the United States, and their
alarm IS increasing in view of the re
port that their two countrymen now
IN the hands of the Taotai, are to be
imme diate1y executed.
The Chinese authorities, as already
cabled, when the prisoners were sur
rendered, pledged themselves not to
torture the captives. and to give them
a fair trial. All the Japanese in this
city, numbering about 40 are making
preparations to leave China at the
earliest moment possible

mediately after they were given into

A Bad Use For the Doctor.

Bobbs always was quick wltted
chap. Only one other possession of his
was as nimble as that wit of his, and
that was his money. He was always
broke and always reckless withal. He
took cab once, being a bit unsteady, to
convey him from the club to his dwell
ing, the latter some distance. The cool
night air blowing through the open win
dows sobered him enough to permit of
his realizing that he had no money to
pay the claimants fare,
Just at that moment the driver made
that very usual inquiry:
"What address did you say, sirg''
And Bobbs said promptly, ''Dr. So.
and-so," such street and number, the
same being round the corner from his
own abode. The house reached, Bobbs
dashed up the steps, rang the bell furi-
ously, implored the doctor to go at once
with his instruments to such house.

A Temple of Health

Where vigor, good digestion, appetite
and sound repose minister to physical
comfort, Is the bodily structure which,
however much its foundations have been
sapped by i'll health, has been restored
rebuilt, as it were-by the great reno
waiting tonic, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
Nothing infuses strength into debili-
tated frame like this saving medicine,
which, in the vigor and regularity it i'm
parts to the system, endows it with the
surest defense against disease, and the
best guaranty of long life and hale old
aye. Worn out men of business, tired
mechanics, overworked mill hands,
miners broken down by hardship and ex-
posure to malaria, mariners and tourists
all declare that it is the best safeguard
against the influences of fatigue, bodily
or mental, and of climate or tenn erature.
Incompatible for bilious, rheumatic, kid
ney and nervous troubles.
