tism. those dizzy spells, and that sense Of
weight on top Of the head means failing
vigor.
The sure way to get back to perfect
health of body and brain is to regulate
and nourlsh the nerves by means Of
Palne's celery compound. Il is searching
cure for all diseases that indicate vitiated
blood. 1t builds up the strength replaces
used-up parts by new vigorous tissues:
regulates the hearts action, and finally
arouses the excretory organs-the kidneys
especially. upon whose vigilant activity
depends the health and purity Of the sys-
tenn.
Nothing so quickly builds up the tired
system as this great invigorator and nerve
regulator. Public opinion in the large cit
les throughout the country shows the re-
lance that thoughtful men and women
have come to place upon Paine's celery
compound when the body needs building
up and the strength recruiting. Men in
ohlcial positions In nearly every depart
ment of the public service have gone out
OF their way to send letters of thanks and
allowed their names and letters to vouch
fer this great remedy.
Pa!ne's celery compound accomplishes
remarkable results because it works intel
liSently with a definite aim always in
sight OF purifying the blood. getting the
wasted system again nourished and the
vital organs working with ease and regu-
larity.

The Tooth anniversary Of the birth OF
John NJ Clayton, the Delaware statesman
and jurist, was celebrated yesterday, al
Prince Georges Protestant Episcopal
Chapel Dagsboro hundred Sussex county.
The exercises were largely attended by
the people OF the vicinity and the occa-
sion was an interesting one. John NJ.
Clayton was born within sight of the
chapel. and was baptized there. his father
being one of the vestrymen.
The exercises we're conducted by Bishop
Leighton Coleman. EX-Judge George
P. Fisher of Milford. who studied
law with Mr.. Clayton, gave a number Of
interesting "reminiscences, Judge David
T. Marvil spoke Of the great statesman's
public life and told of the services he had
rendered to his country.
Bishop Coleman spoke on the Christian
character of Mr.. Clayton, and how it
had marked his career. During his speech
the bishop read the first paragraph from
the will Of Mr.. Clayton, as an illustration
Of his Christian life. The will said

1892 it gave Republican majority at the
Gubernatoral election of 49, roe, n major
ity smaller by u few thousand than the
State usually gives at the September olec-
tlon In Presidential year. In November
the Republican majority was over 2l,OJO,
but In 1883 the State gave Ovor 10000 ma.
Jority for Harrison. In the State election
Of 1894 Vermont gave an early indication
Of the Republican groundswell by rolling
up Republican majority of 2S,52l. 1t Is
expected that the majority for Governor
this year will be us large, if not larger

date for Governor had 2I,O00 majority.
Not much change is expected i'll the vote
this year.
The early election, which will attract
tho most attention will occur in Maine,
September H. 1t will be interesting and
important not only because the Demo.

NEW CASTLE. July 20, 1898.


A gentleman from this city who has
been visiting friends in OdeHsa gave the
information that two young ladies OF that
town have suffered considerably from ner-
yousnCss caused by the act of joker.
Harrison Vandegrift accompanied by
his niece and daughter the other day were
driving towards McDonough when Miss
Vnndegrift saw u box. presumably box
with u pair of shoes on the road. The
young fady alighted and took the box into
the carriage.
Upon removing the lid, the young ladies
were mortified to see big black snake roll
into Miss Vandegrlfts lap. The reptile
was thrown out and Mr.. Vandegrift quick
Iy drove to friends house, where the
young ladies were taken care OF until the
arrival of doctor, under whose treatment
both ladiees are at present.
Owing to the inability Of the members
of tho Columbia Athletic Club to pay
their dues owing to the good old DemOcra-
