TIE SHAKERS IDEAS OF MEDICINE.

Nowadays when a man goes to his doctor he is
usually told that he has some unheard-of disease
with a long name, and when he leaves the office he
does not know whether 1t is st. Vitus Dance
consumption that is gradually undermining his
health.
1t is therefore, refreshing to talk with the
dence and respect, and have the further satisfac
tiOn of knowing that they have devoted themselves
to the study of disease and its for than
hundred years.
The venerable old whom the writer saw was
only too glad to discuss his pet subject He said
that, strange 1t might seem, very few doctors
realized that three-quarters of the most prevalent
diseases were all attributable to faulty digestion
He then went OH to say that child of average
intelligence knows that putrid meat decaying
vegetables poisonous and must be avoided, and
yet these same foods, If taken into the
stomach in the freshest possible condition. de-
compose unless dgested and absorbed
In such cases the resulting pOsons enter the sys-
TEN, when aches and pains, weakness and debility
soon follow i natural consequence
1t recognition Of this that led the Shakers to
devote their energies to the perfection of product
which would stimulate the digestive organs and as
sist them to perform their proper work.
The first symptom of disordered digestion is loss
Of appetite, and the Shaker Digestive Cordial Is
wonderfully efficient In supplying any deficiency in
this respect, at the same time 1t relieves all dis
tress after eating. Furthermore. carefully
explained by venerable friend, 1t is absolutely
harmless.
Better evidence of the Shakers confidence in it
could not be found than in the fact that they have
placed 1O-cent sample bottles in the hands of all
druggists, assured that If tried 1t will pro-
duce such immediate and marked benefit that 1t

AN INTERESTING EXHIBITION.
Y. NJ. G. A. Boys Show Their SI.iH in
GymHustic Work.

Y. NJ. &. A. Boys Show Their Sill in
GymHuStic Work.
The friends of the Y. NJ c. A. turned out
in force last night. notwithstanding the
state of the weather, to see one of the best
exhibitions which has ever been put on
there The affair was started by tenor
solo by Mr.. Phil Baer, who received an
ovation at the conclusion Of his song. He
was followed by the junior class in mu-
sical dumb bell drill, led by Prof Sims.
High jumping and kicking was the next
number, and III the former Monke carried
off the honcls, the bar being at five feet
one inch, while in the latter Monke and
FrarZ gave a creditable exhibition, both in
the double kick and in the hitch and kick.
After Prof. Sims had led class on the
buck, Messrs. Nelson and Thompson gave
a scientific exhibition of fencing, Nelson
making five points to Thompson's four
which was followed by class on the par
allel bars. At this point Mr.. Hamer, who
has been a faithful friend of the Z. M. Z.
A. and a hard worker at that institution,
was presented with fine silk umbrella as
a token of the appreciation of the aSsocia-
ton. The feature Of the evening was the
contortion act of Shackelford and Graham
of the Burnt Cork Club and the tumbling
of Horne and Chapman, who are also men,
bers of this club. Many new tricks were
introduced in both acts whill both teams
were in excellent shape. Rggles and
Moulden did some pretty club swinging,
and in a wrestling bout between Hudson
| and Temple the latter got the decision over
| his opponent in four and a half minutes
Joe Horne and Ernest Morsell led the Wori,
| on the horizontal, which. was Of a varied
and clever character, and the exhibition
| closed with the tumbling class, led by
| Horne and Chapman.

WANT LARGER PURSES.
Demands of the HOrsennen at the st.
AsaDh Track.

Demands of the HOrseInen at the st.
Asaph Track.
Some days ago petition was signed by
a number of the horsemen at the ST.
Asaph track asking for an increase In the
amount of the purses and also that the
charge for scratching be abolished. 1t was
presented to the club, and the manage
ment agreed that scratches down to eight
horses should be done without charge. $40
for every horse below that number.
AS to increasing the purses, the manage
ment stated that the revenues of the club
did not warrant an increase. and therefore
refused to increase the amount of the
purses. Some of the horSemen, 1t was
stated thereupon threatened to strike, say
ing that they would enter no more horses
until the purses had been increased.
1t was stated at the track yesterday, up
on very good authority, that the meeting
would be continued as long it should
prove profitable, but that there would be
no consolidation with the Alexander Island
people.
Despite the terrible going, four favorites,
a second and third choice finished first
at the st. Asaph track yesterday, and the
fifteen bookmakers who weighed in re-
turned home with greatly depleted strong
boxes. The stake race was the Alexan-

OPENING OF THE SEASON.
First Game in the Departmental Base
Ball League.


A great deal of interest and enthusiasm
is being evinced by the friends of the De-
partmental Base Ball League in general,
and the friends of the teams representing
the District Commissioners Office and the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing in par
ticular, over the opening game of the sea-
son, which takes place at National Base
Ball Park Thursday afternoon next. The
District Commissioners Office team was
the leading one of the league last season,
and they propose to keep up their good
work without hitch, and the fact of their
being the champions last year intensifies
the interest in this, their opening game.
The team from the bureau of engraving
and printing, however. was right behind
them In the race of last season, and this
year Mr.. Charles Miller gives out the
statement that he has nine in every
man OF which he can place dependence.
Fuller and Dickinson will be in the points
for the d. c. q. team while Orspada and
Beach will orficiate for the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing Fuller has been doing
some excellent work already this season
with the Maryland Agricultural College
team, and last year was the most efficient
pitcher on the star team of Hyattsville
Orspada Is good. steady man. however,
and 1t is safe to say that he will hold his
opponents down in good style.
Mr. Nick Young. the president of the
National League, has been asked to UNI
pire the opening game on Thursday, and
1t is hoped that he will accede to the wishes
of those who had the matter in charge.
At the meeting of the league last night
every report which was read was of the
most encouraging character. and the out
look for this season is of the brightest
sort. An entertainment is to be given this
evening at National Rifles armory the
proceeds Of which will be used to defray
the incidental expenses Of thu league
throughout the season. The list Of talent,
which is long, and embraces some Of the
best known people. musically. in the city.
has already been printed in The Star. The
meeting last night also resulted in the
appointment of the following umpires: S.
d. Stearne, Arthur O'Neil. A. NJ. Catlin
and J. E. Carroll .. .
On the day of the game there will be
a parade. in which all the clubs Of the
league will participate. The attendance of
ladies this year will be larger than ever
before. the demand for ladies' tickets hav-
ing about exhausted the supply. and 1t Is
expected that a goodly number will grace
the grand stand at the opening game. 4
should the weather be al all favorable. All
preparations have been made for the game
and the only thing in doubt is the wealth
er. Both teams will be composed Of their
strongest material and a good game. full
of snappy playing and life, is assured by
the captains of both mines.

vention had been ignored by the women of

His Retention on the Home Team Re-
stores Confidence.


stores Confidence.
Tie Washington base ball public, with
the exception of a few fault finders, is
much pleased with the information that the
report that Joyce was to be replaced on the
local ball team by Reilly of Philadelphia
was erroneous. There is no comparison be-
tween the value of the two men, as far as
the Washington team is concerned. Joyce
and Mcclure were the mainstays of he
LEGAL team last season. and there is no
question but that he will get into good form
before long. He is one of the heavy hitters
of the league. and easily led his team last
year. AS a fielder he doubtless has num-
ber of superiors at third bag, but he is
always in the game. and his knowledge of
all the fine points of the game has good
effect upon his brother players at critical
stages. Reilly is a pretty fielder. but not
much of a batter, and hitting is what wins
games. One Joyce is better than two Reil-
lys for the Washington team The report
of the change of men came to The Star
from reliable source, and in giving pub
iicity to it The Star made no comments
upon the matter, but simply published 1t
as matter of news That such a change
from base ball playing standpoint would
be mistake no one who seriously consid-
ers the matter would doubt for a moment.
If Joyce had not been signed this year the
club would have received setback that
would have been difficult to recover from,
and that he Is regarded as fixture should
be subject of qualification to the local
fans.

For the fourth time in their history the
Pittsburgs are In the first place in the race

first time was in 1880. when they won the
first two games and all the other teams
had been defeated. They held first place
just one day. Then they proceeded to
make a record In the number Of defeats,
losing la games during the season. In
1893 the Pittsburg team jumped to the top.
and held first place until June 10. Then it
dropped to fifth place. but finished the sea-
son in second place. Last year the Pitts
bu -gs were in the first place three days. May
%. so and 81, ard then began to drop, fin
ishing in seventh place. demonstrating that
winning few games at this stage of the
