Bad Effects OF Dredging in MispiilOn
River.

The people of Milford and particu-
larly the vessel-owners there are not
at all satisfied with the work done by
the government to the mouth Of the
Alispillion river They claim that the
river is in a worse condition now than
it was before the work was commenced.
and that the 900 expended in build
ing cribs and other arrangements there
has been wasted They now claim that
the cribs which were recently built
there to prevent the river from shoal-
ing have topped over and the sand has
almost completely blocked the mouth
of the river. The river is so bad they
have been unable to secure a steamboat
line from there to Philadelphia. To
the vessel owners Of the town the bad
condition of the river means the loss
Of hundreds Of dollars every year, and
this is the reason they are complaining.

How to Prevent Group.
SOME READING THAT WILL PROVE IN
TEREsTING TO YOUNG MOTHERs.-
HOW TO GUARD AGAINST THE
DISEASE,

Group is terror to young mothers,
and to post them concerning the cause,
first symptoms and treatment is the
object of this item. The origin of Group
is a common cold. Childred who are
subject to it take cold very easily and
crOupy is almost sure to follow. The
first symptom is hoarseness; this is
soon followed by a peculiar rough
cough, which is easily recognized and
will never be forgotten by one who has
heard it. The time to act is when the
child first becomes hoarse. If Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is freely used
all tendency to Group will soon disap-
pear. Even after the croupy cough
has developed it will prevent the at
tack. There is no danger in giving
this remedy for it contains nothing in
furious. For sale by Clifton & Ray

We all know that tired muscle can be
restored by rest. Your stomach is a muscle.
Dyspepsia is its manner of saying Il am
tired. Give me rest" To rest the stomach
you must do its work outside of the body.
This is the shakers method of curing in
digestion, and its success is best attested by
the fact that these people are practically
prevalent of all diseases. The Shaker Di-
gestive Cordial not only contains digested
food which is promptly absorbed without
taxing the tired digestive organs, but it Is
likewise and aid to the digestion of, other
foods in the stomach. A 10 cent trial bot
tie will convince you of its merit, and these
YOU can obtain through all druggists.

ARMY AND NAVY.

The naming of the two battleships, the six
gunboats and three torpedo boats whose con-
struction was authorized by the last Congress.
is being considered by the Secretary of the
Navy. According TO the provisions of the law
one of the battleships is to be named Kear-
sarge, in order to perpetuate the name of that
historic vessel. There have been many sug-
gestons for the name Of tho second battleship,
which, according to custom, will doubtless be
called after one of the States. Considerable
pressure has been brought to bear upon Secre-
tary Herbert To name il the Pennsylvania.
The new Eunhoats viii probably be named
after celebrated battlefelds of this country,
although the selection of names will probably
be limited to the wars previous to that of the
rebellion.

of the awk wardest sleeves ever were looked up

all the new vailngs-the queer colors and
startling patterns, and besides the abominable

valing; chiffon, which walls the face so CON-
pletely that it is more often worn for the prac-
tical purpose Of protecting the complexion than
for adding graceful finish to costume; fine

II do not agree" said Senator Proctor, Of

Senate who court trouble in Cuba in the hope
that we may have an opportunity to annex the
island. The character of q part Of the popula-
ton of Cuba is such that should not consider
it desirable as a State of the Union, as it would
necessarily become if annexed. / consider
Cuba of vast importance to this country COM
mercially, but prefer that it should remain as
il is or be an independent State to its becoming
a part of the United States. am for the COM
mercial annexation. but not for territorial an
nexation. We can accomplish that result with
out war of conquest and without purchasing
the island, simply by reviving the policy of
reciprocity. We made immense strides in our
commerce with that country under the reci-
procity clause of the Mckinley law, and had
trade of vass proportions with the islands when
the law was repealed, All that is changed
now, and our Cuban trade is comparatively of
little consequence. 1t is an object lesson which
the people of this country should study with
care" 1euay
