One advantage of taking Ayers sarsaparil a

fringe upon your hours of labor nor deny
yourself any food that agrees with you. In

Return of Gov. and Mrs. Shepherd Il

Return of Gov. and Mrs. Shepherd to
B"tOpflas, Mexico.
Gov. and Mrs. Alexander r. Shepherd
We're given a genuinely royal reception
upon the return to their far off home at
Batopilas, Mexico, July /. The journey
down from chihuahua to Batopilas which
Is made on muleback. and occupies five or
six days, was wonderfully well witnstood
by Mrs. Shepherd. There was rain every
night, that made day travelling pleasantly
ccol. The heat during the last descent in
the mountains, however, was intense in
the extreme, but at the foot Conness Shep-
herd met the party with chair, in which
Mrs. Shepherd Was carried down the hills
Ihe ether boys, Alexander and Grant
were further on at Portrero where they
had prepared luncheon, not the least at
uactive features of which to those who
had undergone such a long and difficult
Journey Were beer and ice, the latter be
ing the result of snow gather ed i'm the win

cave. Beyond Portrero the mayor of the
town of BatoplaS and large delegation
OF its merchants, miners and others met
the governor and Mrs. Shepherd away up
the road and formed quite a pretentious
escort Constant SaluteS were fired with
cannon from several points, and the entire
population turned out to join in the well
come. The bridge leading to Batopilas,
Wflch is beautiful structure of iron, with
heavy stone pillars, profusely deco
rated with bunting. When the hacienda
Was reached there was general rejoicing
and feasting, and every one seemed to out
do himself in showing his pleasure and
qualification at the return of the governor
and his amiable wife. Gov. Shepherds

MIR. McADOO IN CHARGE,
Secretary Herbert to Return TOmOr-
row, but VIII Take a Long Vacation.

Assistant Secretary McAdoo returned to
the city last evening from Gloucester,
Mass. where he concluded an inspection of
the naval militia of the northern and east
ern states He made the trip on the dis
patch boat Dolphin, which vessel Will be
utilized later in the week in conveying
Secretary Herbert to Newport, where that
gentleman will deliver an address on the
Sth instant on naval affairs before the
Naval War College. Mr. McAdoo is acting
secretary Of the navy, and ne will continue
TO ofticiate in that capacity for many weeks
to come, inasmuch as Secretary Herbert
has arranged to take long vacation,
Wh1cn Will include short tour of Europe.
The Dolphin is now at Alexandria and will
remain there until Secretary Herbert is
ready to start for Newport.
y telegram was received at the NAVY De-
partment this morning from Secretary Her
bert, who is now in Montgomery Ala
where he went to vote for Johnston and the
straight democratic ticket, saying that he
VIII arrive in Washington early tomorrow
morning. The probabilities are that he will
start away for Newport on the Dolphin to-
morrow afternoon Newport and New
York will probably be the only naval sta
tions he will visit on this trip, as he has
arranged to start for England on the
steamer sailing from New York on the 18th
instant 1t is not unlikely, however that
he will take advantage of his presence in
Newport to make a visit to the President
at Gray Gables before his departure for
the continent.
1t is his purpose to spend a few days in
London and Paris and he possibly NAV ex-
tend his trip to other countries He will
De accompanied abroad by his daughter
MISS Herbert. and by his private secretary.
MT l. II. Finney. There is a possibility
that Postmaster General Wilson may 10
ne a member of the party. The itinerary
OF the trip Is not complete, but it will prob
ably occupy about four weeks time.

AT SILVER HEADQUARTERS
The Demand for Literature Too Great to Be
Supplied.
State Headquarters for Nearby Com
mOnwealths to Be Established
In This City.

Among the callers at the silver party
headquarters today was Alexander Del Mar,
the leader CT the silver party in New York.
He was in search of silver literature, and
declared that he must have it to meet the
demand in New York state. He declared
that there was an immense demand for lit
erature, and that he was unable to supply
1t. He was informed that the national
committee had run low on literature, but
was having a quantity printed. 1t would
get out much more when it came into pos
session Of funds. Mr.. Del Mar informed
the folks at headquarters that both New
York and New Jersey were safe for Bryan
and Sewall by large majorities. Later in
the day Mr.. Del Mar conferred with Sena-
tor Stewart. The Nevada Senator when
asked If he had any news, said: An
have got to say is that the man who gets
in front Of this reform cyclone will get
crushed"
State Headquarters.
The silver party state organizations OF
Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland and the
District of Columbia have secured rooms
In the Owen House, on Pennsylvania ave
Eue between 14th and 18th streets, and
will soon open state headquarters there
1t has not been decided who will be in
charge. The national committeemen-Judge
A. J. Wedderburn of Virginia, Charles r.
Darby of Maryland and Isaac RalphsnyGer
of West Virginia-will manage the institu-
ton. The object will be to have place
to meet and confer with the silver party
leaders and to furnish them advice. Hard
work will be put in the states named in
the way of sending out literature and in
frrniching speakers when they are needed
The particular efforts of the men to be
put in charge of the headquarters will be
directed to aiding the democrats in Mary
land and West Virginia, which are said to
be debatable ground.
No Word From Butler.
Secretary Turner is still running things
easily at populist headquarters. No word
has been received from Chairman Butler
or from any of the other members Of the
rational committee as to when they ex-
pct to come here to begin work. There are
few callers al headquarters at least, few
OF prominence in the party. Mr.. Butler IS
supposed to have been looking after the
interest of the Alabama populists in the
election which has ended. So soon as he
gets his lands out Of the state fights in
the south he may be expected in WASH
ington.

CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION
How the Republicans Are Counteracting the
Silver Movement.
Half a Million Documents Shipped
From Washington Within the
Past Twenty-Four Hours.

1t is said by politicians that the republi-
cans have the most thorough and most ex-
tensive organization for campaign work at
this time that they have ever had. every
Cay new rivet and sheet is added to this
alr-ttght. copper-bottomed and steel-riveted
combination" said a republican today. "If
business methods, complete organization,
down to the mnutest particular and abso-
lutte unity and harmony of action go for
anything, we are bound to win big VIC
tory"
1t Is said that there is no scarcity of
funds for the conduct Of the great literary
campaign, although it will take big sum
of money for this legitimate purpose. The
best talent of the land is being engaged, the
greatest orators will! be put in the field and
every voting precinct harrieG with a fine
tooth comb of political effort.
Main Feature of the Campaign.
The literary effort is the main feature of
the campaign. The republicans found that
the silver men were already educated upon
silver Er.eS and were talking the uncertain
fellows into their belief. 1t Immediately be-
came necessary to counteract the influence e
of the educational efforts which the free
silver men have been putting forth for the
past five years, to try to win back tie
from beirg won over to the other side.
Some idea can be gained of the extent OF
the educational movement being exerted by
the republicans, when it is stated that half
a million of campaign documents were
shipped out of Washington within the past
twenty-fC ur hours.
Two Other Bureaus.
Not only is the congressional campaign
committee here one great big mill for
grinding out literature to the people, but
there are also two other gigantic literary
bureaus IN full blast. One of them is in
Chicago, and is being conducted by Perry
Heath, former president of the Cincinnati
Commerclai-GaZette Company. He has a
large force of men at work under him,
most of them trained newspaper men, and
is SupplementlnS the efforts of the parent
literary bureau. There is smaller organi-
zation in New York city upon the same
order. Every state central committee IS
also branch of the Washington bureau,
and 1t in turn has ramitications through
the county and township organiza tions.
No Surprise at the Alabama Result.
AT republican headquarters today no sur
prise was evidenced over the result in Ala
bama. Mr.. Apsley said it was what had
been expected and amounted in sensa tional
value to the news that the Dutch had taken
Holland. The advices of the committee had
expectation upon.
Secretary Mercer of the committee was
inclined to discredit the significance and
Importance of the democratic victory in
Brunswick, Md. He said a town election in
a place like that, where mayor and alder
men were being chosen, could have no bear
ing upon national issues because there
were always local issues to sway the punJic
mind. The question of sidewalks and
sewers would have more weight with the
city voters than the question of silver and
the standards.

MINISTER ROMERO RETURNS.
Mexico Is Prosperous and Her COndf
tfOns Are Satisfactory.

lions Are SOtfHfN ctOry.
Minister Romero, who returned yester-
day from his recent visit to Mexico, was
visited this afternoon at the legation On
street by an Evening Star reporter. He
was looking we'll and expressed himself
as enjoying good health.
"Everything is progressing very salts
factorily in Mexico he said, in reply to
questions by the reporter land the coun-
try is prosperous. With its natural rich
ness Mexico needs but capital, labor and
peace to advance with rapid strides"
Are the Mexican people displaying much
interest in the political issues that are
confronting the United States?" inquired
the reporter.
ooh. yes, and naturally responded Mr..
Romero. THE people of Mexico are very
much interested in anything that interests
the people of the United States, with whom
they are on such friendly terms. 1t Is an
interest. Of course, without partisanship."
The reporter told Mr.. Romero that there
had been a universal expression Of salts
faction from Americans when it became
known that he was to remain here as the
representative of Mexico. to which the
minister replied that such sentiment
was extremely gratifying to him.
