Shaker nnd Dootorn Talk Torether.

10 his able work entitled Longevity"
published n few years ago, DIR. John
Gardner, Of England, predicts that a
vegetable agent VIII YET be found that
shall so retard those changes that bring
about old age as 10 prolOng human life
much beyond its present limit.
Acting, perhaps, upon the impulse pro-
duced by this thought, many eminent
ply siciaDs have called from time TO time
upon the Shah rs Of Mt. Lebanon to in
quire Of them concerning the secrets of
medicinal plants. in which these sincere,
simple-mlnded and God fearing people
are known TO be wise and skiIlfui beyond
all other men.
The Shakers willingly told what they
had learned, aud In return received from
their visitors much valuable Information
about disease; which they at once made
practical use OF. The most important
point was that If = genuine and certain
remedy could be found for Indigestion
and dyspepsia. and the ailments growing
out OF it, a long step would be taken in
the right direction. Old age, said these
physicians, begins in a failure OF the di-
gestion, and so do most diseases at any
ard all periods Of life. The result of these
consultations was the discovery by the
Shakers of the desired specific, made
wholly from herbs, and now known as the
Shaker Digestive Cordial. Its action is
magical and worthy of its origin.
Where there is distress after eating,
heartburn, sick headache, bad taste in
the mouth. hiliousness, weakness and
WEAKNESS, cold hands and feet, aversion
TO food, nervousness, or any other symp-
tom Of dyspepsia. the Cordial will prove
its curative virtues. Behind it is the
reputation of a people who have neve
deirauded or deceived their fellow men

as many of them to be for Nc
Kinley as for Bryan, having
turned out just as | did-through
curiosity.
"A great deal of interest is be-
ing taken in the north and east
in Texas just now. The people
are watching closely the efforts
being made to carry the state
for Mckinley, and the Republi-
can leaders are confident this can
be done under the fusion agree
ment with the PO%puiists."
Mr.. BergstrOm, il will be re
membered, bought the Gulf Shore
railroad at the receivers sale a
short time ago, and his visit
north and east was partly in the
interest of this road. When ask
ed for information on this sub
ject, Mr.. BergstrOm said the
road was in such shape that the
plan of reOrganiza zion will be
carried out, and as soon as the
bonus matters are settled the
road will be extended to Stock
dale, but that plans 10 extend it
beyond Stockdale would remain
in statu quo until after the cleo
ton, as nothing can be done in
the way of raising money of float
irg bonds before then.
Railroad men in the east" he
continued, think well of the
Gulf Shore enterprise, and think
it will be a good road and of par
ticular advantage to San AntO-
Mo. There will probably be no
trouble in floating bonds of the
road after the election-provided
Mckinley is elected. If McKin-
ley is defeated, it will depend on
how matters will shape them
selves"
Mr.. Bergstrom says business
is much better here than in the
north and east. The stagna-
nation in business circles" he
said, "has not been felt as much
here as in the north and east,
and business here seems to have
been much less affected than
there. For instance, the sales
of the city brewery are % per
cent better and collections 50
per cent better than last year. A
great many merchants have told
me that they have found cOllec-
lions much better this year than
for several years past"

downhin every day. They lose health
and life just when the possibilities of life
seem greatest. Some slight disorder, care
lessly neglected, is reinforced by other kim
dred troubles. Indigestion, indicated by
ourne of the stomach, f~atulency, heart
burn, and distress after eating, are followed
by disordered liver, constipation, headaches,
kidney disease, loss of appetite, nervous
ness, debility and loss of flesh. Loss of
flesh prepares the way for the most serious
consequences. Weakness from any aus is
an invitation to consumption. The germs
of consumption are in the air and in u
>food-in the water we drink. They are ev-
erywhere. But they are harmless to the
perfectly healthy body. 1t is only when
the body is weak that they do any harm.
Prompt measures should be taken at the
first indication of disease. When indiges-
ton shows itself in any form it calls for the
immediate use of DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery. This wonderful medicine
is an invigorating tonic for the whole sys-
tenn. 1t purifes and enriches the blood and
searches out the disease germs wherever
they may be in the body. 1t builds up firm,
solid, healthy, useful flesh. 1t strengthens
the nerves, stimulates the appetite, makes
digestion and nutrition perfect and brings
sound, refreshing sleep. The marvellous sue
cess of his truly wonderful medicine has

AT. THE CLOSE
OF THE CAMPAIGN.

StilI the "CInsses Against the Masses"
In speech at La Sale, ILL.,, last Satur-
day Mr.. Bryan defended himself against
criticism which had been made upon him
for telling laboring men in previous
speeches THAT they should wear Republic
can buttons, if necessary, march in Repub-
lican parades, If they were commapded to
do so, and even contribute to the Republi-
can campaign fund, If that was required
by their employers, but that they should
vote according to their convictions on cleo
tion day." This reference was to the at
tempts, alleged by Mr.. Bryan to have been
made by the railroad companies TO coerce
their employees. He was taken to task by
President ingalls, of the Big Four Soad
and by ex.President Harrison, in public
speeches, for advising such policy of de-
ception. Mr.. Bryan justified himself on
the ground that he was "taking a higher
moral stand and giving more patriotic adj
Ntce than those who countenance coercion,
and appeal to employees to vote the Repub-
lican ticket on election day, merely be-
cause they have been compelled to wear
Republican badges during the campaign"
He said the Australian ballot was intend
ed to hit just such cases.
The whole talk was part of the Bryan
policy to make it appear that this is con-
test of the classes against the masses, and
that employers are trying to coerce their
men to violate their own convictions and
vote against free silver The very fact
that such a suggestion was introduced af-
fords one of the best illustrations which
Mr.. Bryan has given of his own inherent
weakness. On the part of the very mer
for whom it was intended it will react
against him and his cause.

A few years ago seven eXiles from ST.
IBERIA were picked up at sea in terrible
condition in an open boat and were brought
to San Francisco. They told a woful tale
of Punishment to Saghalien Island for po-
litical offences, and so wrought upon the
sympathies of the charitable that they re-
ceived clothing and money and were pro-
vided with work. Word came from Rus
STA that they were common malefactors
who would have been hanged in this coun-
try, as most of them were guilty of muir
der. Soon they began TO appear in the
courts and were sent TO Jail and state pris-
on for various offences. One named Kov-
alev committed an atrocious double muir
der in Sacramento and was recently hanged.
This week the last of the gang was sent TO
prison for 20 years for burglary. They
have cost California several thousand dol
lars, and have given the charitable some
INSIGHT ipta. Russian. criplnal characters.
One of the features of California III lie
which is not often noticed in print is tut
large decrease of the Chinese laboring pop
ulation of the state. San Francisco's
Chinatown has fallen off almost oneh half
during the last three years. The state la
Dor commissioner has finished his investi-
CATION of the Chinese in California, and he
finds that the decrease is most marked in
the factories. The overall factories few
years ago employed nearly 5000 Coolies.
Now they have only 1850. In shoe facto-
ries, where formerly from 100 to 800 Chi
nese were employed, not One-fifth of the
number is engaged. This great falling off
is due partly to the exodus of Coolies to
China, and partly to their preference for
engaging in business for themselves, such
as laundry work, vegetable growing and
fruit raising.

Ex-President Harrison ON BryRn's
Charge of Coercion.

In his speech before great audience in
Indianapolis Monday night ex-President
Harrison took up Mr.. Bryan's reference to
Mr.. ingalls,, president of the Big Four
railroad company, and himself, and made
an earnest and eloquent answer to Mr..
Bryan's talk about cod rtice bTpo n.T s and
to workingmen to praeSes and n,orching
deception, wearing badge. sSraiuh-- wi, ti1S
in professions for one side and then MT
on the other. Such action, Gen. Ha. rison
said, would be qualification and a retiec-
ton on the spirit of American manhood
such as no man had a right to accuse
American workingmen of. The assump-
ton that he and Mr.. ingalls, had justified
coercion Gen. Harrison pronounced absO-
solutely without truth, and added: "Mr.
ingalls, has publicly proclaimed that every
employee of every railroad in his charge
should be free to vote as he pleased. 1t is
not question at all of justifying coercion.
l denounce it; l have always denounced
it. This gentleman does me wrong when
he imputes to me any acquiesence in the
suggestion that the vote of any man shall
be coerced l will undertake to defend
this principle everywhere, not only here,
but if an instance of this kind is brought
to my attention, will pledge myself as a
citizen and lawyer to rebuke it,
