doctor was hastily summoned again. He
found that apoplexy had supervened,

Great Shock to His Friends.
The news of Mr.. Scott's death spread
quickly and was great shock to his
friends in the city and from the west who
happened to be in New York. Many

dolence and expressions of deep sympathy.
Among those who called were Ambrose
Butler, James 5. Mescaif (of Life) Wal
ter Durham. Amos p. Handy and John
F. Wilkie, who returned from London
Saturday.
Captain John Allen, U. S. N, said that
he was never more shocked than when he
heard of Mr.. Scott's death. He con-

fluenco in political and municipal affairs

Comes to Finances.
AN iasidious attempt is made to create
prejudice against the advocates of a safe
and sound currency by the insinuation,
more or less directly made, that they be-
longto financial and business classes and
are therefore not only out of sympathy
with the common people of the land. but
for selfish and wicked purposes are will

and wealth, through combination and
ether means, sometimes gain an undue
advantage; and it must be conceded that
the maintenance of sound currency
may. i'm "A sense be invested with a great
cr or less Importance to individuals ac-
cording To their condition and circum-
stances.
is Is, however. only a difference In de-
gree, since 1t is utterly impossible that
any one in our broad lani-.ich or poor,
whatever may b. his occupation. and
whether dwelling in Il center of finance
or in IA remote corner of our domain-can
be really benefited by n financial scheme
not alike beneficial TO all our people; or
that any one should be excluded from a
common and universal interest in the
safe character and stable value of the
currency OF the country.
IN our relation to this question we
are all in business, for we all
buy and sell; so we all have to
do with financial operations, for we all
earn money and spend it. We cannot
escape our interdepcndence Merchants
and dealers are in every neighborhood,
and each has its shops and manufacturers.
Wherever the wants of man exist, busi-
ness and finance in some degree are
found, related in one direction to those
who's. wants .hev supply and in another
to the more extensive business ana nnan-
cial interests 10 which they are tributary.
A fiuctuation in prices at the seaboard is
known the same day or hour in the re-

The diseredit or depreciation in finan-

The commissioners who will
have in hand the establishment of
the boundary line between Alaska

TO look to their evidences. The
American commissioner should be
a man of clearest vision, the long
est head, the most suspicious
temperament, the most uncOmpro-
missing stickler for every inch of
ground that is in dispute or he
will be fioored. This claim now set
up by the Canadian Dominion is a
late one trumped up in order to Sc
cure the valuable mineral lands
lying along the border. So long
as Alaska was considered useless
and Seward fool for buying
1T there was nothing heard of this
Canadian claim, but it is different
now. That dominion has every
thing to gain and nothing to lose
in this false contention, and it will
behOove the United States to see
that no point is conceded that can
be successfully disputed. Those
fellows on the other side of the
great lakes are grasping set and
as cute in driving a bargain as a
down east Yankee. The United
States commissioner must sleep
with one eye open and the other
not shut.

BEAUTY.
How to Increase in Weight and
Otherwise Improve Ones Per-
sonal Appearauce


Every normally constituted man and
woman wants to look well. This is ma
tural and right. We have little sympathy
for those people who through Incidence
or gluttony have permitted themselves to
by living abstemiously and taking plenty
OF exercise they can get back to their nor
NAL weight.
We do, however, have a great deal OF
sympathy for those poor, pale, thin suf-
ferers who either have no appetite or else
whose food distresses them to such de-
gree that they are forced to live on most
frugal diet.
"Going into decline" How often do
we hear this expression. What does II
mean! 1t means that people are losing
flesh, growing thin, wasting.
Their trouble arises from the fact that
they are unable to digest sufficient food
and when the stomach is out OF order and
fails to do It's proper work, foods are
worse than useless. They simply ferment
in the stomach and fill the system with
poisonous principles.
What these people need is something
that will digest their food after 1t has
been. eaten, and II Is In just such cases
that the Digestive Cordial as made by the
Mount Lebanon Shakers is proving re-
markably successful.
1t is so prompt in its action that sense
Of relief almost Immediately follows the
first dose, and rapid increase In weight
is soon noted.
The Shakers have issued an interesting
pamphlet which may be obtained upon
inquiry at any drug store.
