John Boots, who was sentenced to re-
ceive ten lashes in Elkton jail for 5rutally
beating his wife Of this city, keenly feels
the disgrace into which he has brought
himself. He talks necessarily about the
manner In which his wife treated him. He
says he knows he should not have struck
her, but says he was SO enraged at what
she said to him that it was impossible to
keep his hands off her.
He wants to know If the whipping is 10
DO public, and says he don't mind the
whipping SO much as he does the disgrace
of being the first man to receive the pen
atty in Cecil county. He Is twenty-six
years of age and has been married five
years. The couple has but one child, that
girl of three years of age. The whipping
post will be erected in the side of the Jail
yard, opposite tho place where Truss was
executed in June last. Tho whipping of
Boots Is the talk of the community and it
is probable that large number OF people
will endeavor to get admission into the
yard.

LIVER CLOSING.
When Your Stomach Clogs Your Liver see
to Your Digestion.

Not one person In o thousand knows
that the cause of biliousness is the clog.
ging of the liver by the poisons Of indl-
gestion. Nor that the only proper cure for
1t Is q tonic to aid the stomach.
But modern medicine declares the truth
OF 1t, And the Shakers have proved it by
the wonderful success of their Shaker Di.
gestive Cordial.
One Of the most important uses of the
liver is to arrest and destroy all poisons
which try to find their way into the blood.
When it's clogged, it can't do this.
Cndigested food ferments and putr eiles
in the stomach, and the poisons of putre.
faction clog and paralyze the liver, after
which they find their way into the blood.
Here is the true explanation of all the
distressing disorders anu complications
caused by indigestion.
Shakers Digestive Cordial is the only
tonic cordial which aids the stomach in
natural way to digest its food. BY this
means, 1t cures indigestion, restores the
liver, and frees the body from poison aud
disease.
Headache, dizziness, neuralgia, mental
depression, weakness, bad taste, fever.

an,emia. rheumatism and many other
disorders are relieved and cured by Shak.

Mrs. John Bunce, mother of Miss Ada
Buncc, who was married to Thomas j.
Buckley, Jr, Thursday evening, at Ches.
ter, told Chester Republican reporter
last evening that she regretted the fact
that the -four throwing, which occurred at
the marriage of her daughter had been so
greatly magnitied. Mrs. Bunce SAID she
had not said anything about it, as neither
she nor her daughter attached any import
ance to the circumstance. When the
bride came into the house from the church,
she laughingiy called the attention OF her
mother to a handful of flour that had been
thrown at her and had lodged in her hair
and sprinkled lightly down on one arm
The flour was brushed off and no moro
thought Of the matter, which would have
been forgotten had not II neighbor told Of
the affair to II reporter, who heard other
details that made it seem more serious
than it really was. The little girl who
threw the flour said she was induced to do
it by Il married woman living on Howell
street, but the flour was dry, not damp,
and there was no more than could be held
in the little girls hand. Mrs. Bunc3 de
plores the publicity given to the trivial
matter ;ls she was accused Of telling about
1t when it was really Il nclghbor.

In the article as published.
Mr.. Ferdinand Blumenthal and Mr.

that ticket in New York, but since the
adoption of the free silver platform at

The men being paid In silver was on ly
to show them what trouble it would mako
in handling that coin to pay them off on

That the firm was employing as many
hands as the present outfit required and
the firm was turning out as many dozens
of skins as they have been for the past six
months. That the manager Of the firm
will not interfere with the rights Of the

Father Carey Reviews the Demo-

WHY FORD WAS TURNED DOWN.
The Duty of Every Catholic on November

r.

Since the Democratic convention at
Dover Oh Tuesday the Catholics of this
city are freely expressing their determine.
ton, to vote against Tunnel, tho Demo-
cratic nominee for Governor. The reason
assigned for such conduct ON their part is
that Peter j. Ford was turned down be.
cause Of his religion.
In st. Paul's Il. C. Church, Fourth and
Jackson streets, yesterday morning the 6
and I.3D o'clock masses were celebrated by
Rev John ID. Carey. After the first gos-
pei Father Carey delivered an Interesting
sermon in the course of which he said
that mans first duty was to serve God and
then his country During the past week
the Catholic religion has been grossly Of
Tended
Every one in this city knows the stand
ing Of Peter j. Ford, u member of st.
PauPs Church. Ilo was turned down ut
Dover on Tuesday for tho nominate on for
Governor, not because he was u Republi-
can, not because he was anything else but
Catholic. -
just imagine tho gall of John Il. Sauls-
bury to go to his room and tell him that
he appreciated him us a man, but Kent
County could not support him because he
was Catholic. The A. p. A. has no use
for Catholic and on November 5 it is the
duty OF all Catholics to resent the insult.
1t is the first time Father Carey ever cut
his ticket but duty calls him to resent the
insult to his religion and on election day
he will do his duty,
The manly, outspoken action Of Father
Carey was the main topic of conversation
yesterday in this ci ty and it is safe to say
the Catholics will help to tunnel Tunnel

The discovery of Il satellite crossing the
disc of the sun was made last Sunday by
Louis Gathmann, Il Chicago astronomer,
in Washington. This is said to be the
first ms anrr in which such body has,bcen
known to cross the sun. According to Mr.
Galhmann the satellite took eight seconds
in its passage Its distance from the earth
is unknown, but probably about l,ooJ
miles and not over 1900 miles at the out
side. the body doubtless being about forty
or forty five feet in diameter. 1t is the
theory OF the observer that it is one Of
several scores of satellites that are rovulv-
ing about the earth, though it is said
nothing definite has therefore, been
observed to support this theory.
