At FRYE EBURG.
Rain Has No Effect on Chautauquans OF
Madam Barakat's EIequsnee.

FRYEBURG, Aug. 3.-The weeping clouds
of last night and this forenoon, caused no
tears to flow among the happy Chautau-
quans. All the people and not less the
the parched earth and dusty street rejoict d
in the abundant down of the watery ele-
ments. This being W. c. T. T., day what
could be more appropriate than the copious
flow from Jupiter Pluvius? 1t sent new
life and spirit into everything.
Msdam Barakat, the eminent Syrian lady,
was the speaker that drew all eyes and ears,
today. Mrs. l.. M N. Stevens presided
and spoke briefly, this forenoon, and in
troduced the distinguished lady in a few
well chosen words She gave a stirring
account Of her home life, and drew a COM
puison between the women of her own
land and those Of free America.
The clouds lifted at noon and in the after
noon a large audience, attracted by the
fame of the speaker, came to listen to
Madam Barakat. Her remarks were
mainly upon temperance, our country 8
need of work and courage to put
down the deadly liquor traffic. She
paid many glowing compliments to our
great AMI growing country, but could not
fail to see and note on its otherwise beauti-
full face the black spot of intemperance,
which, unless crushed out threatened to de-
stroy this fairest fabric which now gladdens
the face of civilized man. Itwas a powerful
appeal and caused many tear to fall.
This evening Mr.. A. d. Fisk of New
York gave an illustrated lecture upon "The

A CRISIS IN CHINA.
Dspusins Of viceroy BY Emperor Viewed with
Alarm by People.

SHANGHAI, Aug. 3.-The action of the
Emperor in diveshng Viceroy Ii Hung
Chang of the Order of the Yellow Jacket
has fallen like thunderbolt here, as it is
feared the incident will lead to his COM
plete overthrow. He is regarded here as
the only leader capable of coping with
Japan in the inevitable long war. A crisis
Is regarded as imminent. The Emperor has
been influenced in his action by members Of
his family hostile to the Viceroy's pro-
European policy. 1t is expected Sir Robert
Hart, the British representative, will assert
his authority and support Lii Hung Chang.
The soldiers beheaded at Tien Tsin for
desertion pleaded in extenuation of their
offence hunger and exhaustion. Before
they were executed they were stripped of
their uniforms and their pig tails were cut
off. The example has terrified the army.
The edict has gone forth that the army
will receive double pay henceforth, during
the war with Japan, and large bonus have
been offered to officers competent to navi-
gate Chinese naval vessels and transports.

A LITTLE BETTER.
General Business Improved Slightly
During the Week lust Closed.


NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-Bradstreets. to-
morrow, will say While little significance
is attached to the moderate improvement in
trade at San Francisco, Pittbsurg, Balti-
more, Augusta and Atlanta, when II is ad-
ded that the clearing house totals for July
reports 20 cities with larger aggregates than
in July of last year, contrasted with the
June report which contained only Is cities
with aggregates larger than those in June q
year ago, it is perceived that there are in
huences at work at the interior favoring an
increase in the volume of business.
The July cleariDgs total at 5s cities was
2 per cent. smaller than in June, and the
smallest of any month this year except
February. Compared with July of last
year, Boston's July total declined 8 per
cent. st. Louis and Pittsburg alone ,smoDg
the more important cities, show gains over
July Of last year.
The improvement announced in general
trade at San Francisco is based on the in
terest manifested in the war in Asia, the
provision dealers particularly anticipating .
largely increased trade. The war between
China and Japan has not affected the price
of tea here yet, although an increased de-
mapd is noted at New York, Boston and
Chicago. Teas are low now, and stocks
here are moderate. IL the tea ports should
be closed high prices would quickly follow.
Boston reports all lines of staple mer-
chandi,e very quiet, cotton selling at con-
cession. Added interest in wool has char
acterized the Philadelphia ss well a. the
Boston markets. Slight increases In the
demand in nearly all the leading lines are
reported from Prttsburg, and at Baltimore
jobbers in dry goods, notions, hats and
shoes report business as more encouraging.
The Providence jewelry manufacturers re-
port orders very small and the outlook not
promising.
Advices from Cleveland, Detroit, Louis
vile, Omaha, Milwaukee, Minneapolis and
Duluth are all of more than the usual mid
summer dullness. A moderate tendency to
improvement is noted at Minneapolis. The
gain at Cincinnati is Of feeling az to pros
poets. At Chicago only few lines report
improvement, Western buyers taking less
because of damage to the crops by drouth.
There is Improvement, however in bar iron
sales. Potatoes are being marked up rap
idly at the West, being OF Chicago IL cents
bushel, due to the drouth and small re-
ceipts. Travellers are being sent out from
St. Louis and in dry goods, shoes, hats and
hardware are said to be doing moderately
well. fair volume Of business only is
reported from Kansas City.
Advices from Southern cities report
moderate gains and fair prospects for the
fall at Memphis, no Improvement at

vannah, and business quiet at Jacksonville,

IN THE SENATE.
Stewart Has His Free Coinage Bill All Ready
10 Present.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-In the Senate,
the House bills for the. admission of the
territories of New Mexico and Arizona
we're reported back with amendments from
the committee on territories, and placed on
the calendar. The House bill modifying
the statutes as to externally fired" boilers
on steam vessels, was reported from the
committee on commerce and was about be-
ing passed, when Hoar suggested that the
title, which was simply to amend sections
of the Revised Statutes be changed so as to
show the purpose of the bill; but Frye,
who had reported the bill from the commit
tee on commerce, declined to have the
amendment made, as that would require the
bill to be sent back to the House. Hoar
said that the law required the purpose of a

IN THE HOUSE.
Committee on PostoHices and Post Roads
Have the Floor.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Sin the House, to-
day, season of filibustering was precipi-
tsted by the introduction of an order from
the committee on rules devoting the rest of
the days session to the consideration of
business reported from the committee on
postoflices and post roads. Under the rules
bills on the private calendar, reported from
the committee on claims, are entitled to
consideration, and the psrtisans of the two
committees or rather of certain measures
involved contested the right to the floor by
making dilatory motions. The order from
the committee on rules giving the day to
the committee on postofiices and post roads
was finally adopted. The House voted to
adjourn over from today until Monday.
The first bill called up was that re-clsss-
flying postal clerks and regulating their
salaries. The bill increases the number of
classes from five to seven, the maximum
salary from Sl40O to Sl7O0, and the total
salary account, $3.50, 900 year. The pas
sage of the bill was advocated by Hopkins,
Bingham, and Henderson. and antagonized
by Dockery and Clark.
Clark said the Democratic party came in
to control of all the branches of the govern
ment upon a platform which promised
economy in The administration its affairs.
He was not going now into game of rails
ing the Republicans in the matter of ex-
pendrture. A more inopportune time to raise
salaries he never knew. The government
could not raise revenue enough, under the
laws left by the Republican party, to pay
its expenses when economically admins
tered. This bill proposed to raise the sal
airy of three Republican clerks where it
raised the salary Of one Democratic clerk.
He gave notice that the bill would not be
passed until every right of obstruction left
under the rules was exhausted.
After an hours consideration the bill was
laid aside without action and Dunphy's bill
for the classification of clerks in first and
second class post offices and for fixing the
salaries of the same was called up. Dun
ply explained the features of the bill,
which, he said, would necessitate an in
creased appropriation of 81 $50, 900 a year.
The passage of the bill was advocated by
Loud
At the evening session nine private pen :
sion bill were reported with favorable re-
concentrations. The House then ad-
journed.

pound.

One, two, three, four crisp dollar bills

hind counters, or in some factory.
Imagine it your own daughter.
1t shocks one to think that lace and rib
bons come so dear and human life 90 cheap.
Trying to earn living at this rate soon
bring, out all ,he working girls womanl,
resources to keep neatly dressed, pleasant
faced and well. Few days can be spared
for sickness and strength must not flag till
past closing time.
The best friend the working girl has ever
had is Paines celery compound. 1t keeps
her well and full of strength and courage
1t restores vitality to tired nerves; it feeds
every tissue of the body when unusual
waste has reduced the weight and strength
Of the body, as is frequently the case in the
heated season. 1t gives new appetite, and
keeps every part of the body, nerves and
blood, so well nourished that the nervous.
exhausted, tired, "run down" feeling from
worry and hard work soon disappears.
In headaches, the head is not alone the
offending part. The brain is the center of
the great nervous syste N, and there 10 a con-
tinual communication from every part of
the body to it. Hence u arrangement Of
the stomach, liver or kidneys produces
headaches, though the head be in a
healthy condition.
Nervous headache, neuralgia, rheuma-
tism, and heart troubles are due to blood
insufficient in quantity and lacking in
richness. Worry and long hours of
uninterrupted work, especially in sum-
mer, exhaust the nervous substance
as surely as walking exhausts the mus
cles. To quickly furnish fresh and abun-
dant supply Of nutriment for every tissue
of the body is the purpose for which Paine's
celery compound was first prepared. This
rapid production of fresh nervous en-
ergy and pure blood was the one endeavor
Of Prof Edward L. Phelps long study Of
the causes Of nervous exhaustion. The re-
suit of his life work was Paine's celery
compound, that remarkable remedy that
permanently and speedily cures diseases of
the liver, kidneys and stomach. 1t is the
greatest nerve regulator and blood purifier
Of this present century.

the title was quite sufficient and the diff
Guilty was only in the imagination of the
senator from Massachusetts. He withdrew
the bill.
Davis introduced bill defining options
and futures and other purposes. A point
of order was made by George that such a
measure must, under the constitution, ORR
ginate in the. House of Representatives.
The Vice President reserved his ruling on
the point of order.
A resolution was offered by Allen to dis
charge the finance committee from further
consideration of the bill recently introduced
BY him .for the relief of the several states
of the Union" and to place the bill on the
calendar. The resolution went over till to-
morrow.
The House bill to subject to state taxa
ton national bank notes and United States
treasury notes was taken up and discussed,
some amendments were made to it.
L was still under discussion when Hale ad-
monished the chairman of the committee on
appropriations that the bill was likely to
consume much time, and that he had better
proceed with the general deficiency bill,
II added that .he senator from Nevada
[Stewart), had probably prepared to make
a long speech and to offer a free coinage
amendment.
You are quite right" Stewart remarked,
laughingly.
Hale hoped the senator from Missouri
(CockrelD will not yield the floor for bill
which involves the question of free silver.
Stewart then had the clerk read free

amendment to pending measure. Cockrell
declined to yield any further time for the
bill to tax national bank notes and treasury
notes, and Turpie moved to take up that
bill. The motion was disagreed to; yeas,
l5; nays, SO.
The deficiency bill was then taken up.
The aggregate of the appropriations to pay
judgments of the court of claims against
the United States was increased by many
additional items from $l,03S,69S, to 49,
0S3,7S5. The largest part of this increase
was an item of 81, ,S09 ,539 in favor of the
Southern Pacific Co. Cockrell, chairman
of the committee on appropriations, stated
that the bill provided for payment of all
final judgments except as to Bonded rail-
road" The Southern Pacific was not a
bonded railroad.
An amendment offered by Call, for the
payment to naval officers of the difference
between sea pay and shore pay while serv-
ing on United States vessels in port during
the war of the Rebellion, led to long dis
cussion. Hale opposed it as in the interest
mainly of "some sharp, shrewd, noisy
claims agents" After long debate the
amendment was tabled. Finally the def
cheney bill was passed.
= The conference report on the river and
harbor bill was presented and ordered
printed. After an executive session the
Senate adjourned.
