Why? .~

Five years ago tewperSons III America
had heard of RamOn's Tonic
Liver Pills and RamOn's
Tonic Pellets. To-day they
are used in thousands of households.
What has worked this change?
-Four different things.
L. This is not simply liver pill
but an entire treatment. 1t
is a complete substitute for physi-
clan in liver troubles.
2. 1t costs only 2sc., when the
same medicines if purchased separately
would cost so to 7sc.
3. The remedy works gently aud
not violently. 1t does not arouse a
feeling of weakness butpmakes you
feel steadily better from the first day.
4. 1t is absolutely harmless. Sick or
well, il eau not be bad thing to
take, as it purihes the blood and

The Great Credit Mobilier Scandal in the
 Campaign of 1879.

 Tn August, 1872, when the excitement of the presidential strife was already high, the New York Sun published a story which added fresh fuel to the po- litical fires already raging. and prom ised to generate much steam to propel the Greeley movement. It related to the Credit Mobilier operations in con structing the Union Pacific railway.
 In March, 1865, the Credit Mobilier of America, a company organized by the Pennsylvania legislature in 1S59 as the Pennsylvania Fiscal Agency. and in it's new form soon amply equipped with capital, contracted with the Union Pa ciflc to go forward with the construcr ton.
 If true, the facts said to exist in- volved in corruption the speaker of the house, the President, the republi- can nominee for the vice-presideney, the Secretary of the Treasury and oth- CTS high in political life.
 Two hundred and forty-seven miles of road were thus built, carrying the line to the one hundre'dth meridian. Then arose trouble with the Credit Mobilier company. T. c. Durant, president of this and vice-president of the Union Pacific, wished the Mobilier to realize at once all possible profits out of the construction, while his opponents, New England parties. believing that the road would pay, were inclined to deal ha, as corporators in the Mobilier to come from the appreciation of the Union Pa cific stock in which, to a great extent, the Mobilier was paid for it's work. This party sought to eject Durant from the Mobilier management, and at length did so but his power in the rail way corporation was sufficient to pre- vent the Mobilier as such from getting a further contract. After much con- tention, during which the Mobilier was on the verge of failing, Durant con- scented that Oakes Ames might take a contract to push the construction of the road. MT. Ames was at the time Mo- bilier stockholder and a representative in congress for Massachusetts.
 During 1867 and 1868 Ames sold shares of Credit Mobilier stock to many mem bers of congress. He gave away none, I but in a number of cases payment was subsequent to sale. worth much more, every share was sold for par and interest, just what it cost Ames himself
 Colonel H. s. McComb, of Delaware, in virtue of a subscription that he said he had made for a friend, claimed ofsI A Mobilier stock which he alleged had never been received. Letters passed back and forth between McComb and

1ruinr,s Practical InI,e

In his Cigarette Papers" in the New
 castle Weekly Chronicle. Joseph Hat
 ton tells an amusing story of an incl
 dent of MT. Irving's first American
 tour: During the journey from Bos-
 ton to Baltimore, a member of the com
 pany of an unusually inquiring turn of
 mind pulled the check string Ito see
 what the thing was" The train
 stopped, and there was great conster-
 nation among the guards and passen-
 gers. The speculative inquirer intome-
 chanical appliances made a frank con-
 fession, and after few pardonable
 oaths on the part of the chief conduc-
 tor, the train went on again. The mo-
 notony of the remainder of the Journey
 was relieved by an elaborate practical
 joke organized with quiet humor by
 our leading actor An official was in-
 troduced into the conspiracy, and the delinquent was formally fined one hun dred dollars. Irving explained to him the enormity of his offense in the eye of the American law. The delinquent, af- ter relieving his mind of a protest against the tyrany of the republic, paid twenty dollars on account, and a sub scription was started to defray the bal ance of the fine. I do not regret what has transpired,' said the offender, an hour or two later; indeed I am glad of it; it only shows how well I stand with my colleagues, who have generously subscribed eighty dollars. It is quite touching the way they have stood by me with their purses and their friend ly words Alas, for the cherished sen- of the subscribers were in the plot one of them, not hitherto known as over-generous, fairly aston ished the delinquent by nobly heading the list with twenty dollars. At Balti- more imaginary dispatches passed be- tween MT. Abbey, the impressario of the company, and the railway authori- ties, with the result that in the most handsome way the directors remitted the fine. While they could not too high Iy reprehend the mischievous stopping of the cars they felt assured that MT. x. had no wicked design in obstructing the proper working of the train The victim thereupon wrote letter of thanks to MT. Abbey, had quite a pa- thetio interview with MT. Irving on the happy termination of what might have been very serious business, and in- sisted upon spending some of his twen- y dollars in champagne for the sub ;cribers to the fund, on which act of grace he made so eloquent and cordial speech that everybody shook hands | with him, and said he was jolly fel- ow,' which nobody can deny Irving | aid an injunction upon the company | o keep the secret, and let their friend | 'emain happily convinced of their gen line intervention, but somehow the | tory leaked out before the tour was ,ver."

PRETTY
AND ATTRACTIVE WOMEN
Their Good Looks Not a Secret.

CsPEoIAL TO OUR LADY BEADERs.l
 No matter to what country she belongs, or whether she be black or white, as Q woman she desires to look well.
The daily morning journal and courier., 1895-04-03

Women know the influence of beauty on men; men rarely admire beautiful invalid, but they do admire woman in whom is blended good features and per feet health.
 There is no secret about woman's beauty; it all lies in the care she devotes to herself, to removing from her system all poisonous impurities, and keeping at bay those fearful female diseases.
 The flashing eye, elastic step, and bril- liant complexion are never companions of womb trouble; only the, distressed expression and aches, pains, blues, faint ness, dizziness :bePring-down, feeling, etc., keep it company
 Lydia E. Piakhdn's Vegetable Com pound removes female troubles promptly, and cleanses, invigorates, and conse- quently beautifies, the form of woman. Women, the world over, pay homage to it, and praise it's discoverer. Your drug gist sells moro of it than all other female medicines.

Business at the Stock Exchange Was Less
 Active Yesterday.

l ACIlVe IesIeruuys
 New York, April 2.-Business at the stock exchange was less active to-day The course of prices was irregular, but the undertone continued firm, the re actions being ascribed to liquidations The decline in silver tended to increase realization, in stocks which have been most pronounced in the recent rise The strength of sterling exchange and the delay over the anthracite coal all lottnent served to curtail trading. Am erican Sugar was the cost active stock on the list, 5e,7oO shares being dealt in. The stock opened at 1O37 down to 1OS1k, 2,000 shares changing hands.
 This was followed by a decline to 1o2 and subssquent recovery to 1O2A @ 5s, The decline in the stock was due to the shutting down of the Havemeyer and Elder refinery and belief that other refineries, controlled by the Amer .ican company will also be closed until the heavy stocks of refined are worked off. Chicago Cas-, Tobacco, Lead, Leather, General Electric and Dlstil- ling and Cattle Feeding were firm throughout and made slight net gains for the day. Chicago Gas was in bet ter request on reports that the regular dividend will be declared shortly.
 The anthracite coalers were easier for Jersey Central and Reading, quiet for Delaware and Hudson and Sus- quehanna and Western and firm for .L.ackawanna. There were rumors of a hitch in the negotiations looking to a settlement of the allotment question, but it had little effect of values. The grangers were firm, the rains reported in the winter wheat regions yesterday having led to moderate buying. The VanderbiIts and Southwestern also rul- ed firm with a narrow range Ten nessee Coal and Iron advanced 11s to 17A D167s, the stock having been strengthened by the election of Q New York capitalist to the directory. Nero politan Traction, on reports of internal dimensions fell 2ts to SS1s and closed at 84 bid
 Speculation closed firm in tone, prices showing an advance of -N to 1B per cent. Reading lost A, Jersey Central 5s and Sugar 15s per cent
