the SHAKERS DO THEIR pvTy,

TT q man discovers valuable medi-
cine, said Horace Greedy, b" 1t Is his duty
to advertise it,, Yes, and at once; for
suffering demands the speediest relief
possible. But let the man first be sure.
Suffering had better wait than be deluded
by false hopes. Medicine, like surgery,
must often seem cruel In order to be really
kind; On this princiEle the Shakers Of
Mt Lebanon, N. Y, withheld their great
indigestion and dyspepsia remedy from
the public for several years. With them
rightdoing Is evcrything-money com
paratively nothing. Hence the popularity
and succese Of whatever they offer for sale,
Having satisfied themselves Of the merit
of their medicine by employing 1t in the
worst cases Of digs stive disorders In their
own vicinity for years, they did their
duty-they advertised 1t, under the name
Of the Shaker Digestive Cordial. In all
cases where their is distress after eating,
pain in the stomach, chest and back;
aversion to food with the resulting symp-
toms such us headache, furred tongue
eructation of gas, with weakness and loss
of flesh, etc. the Cordial has most happy
effect. Being itself a digested food with
power to digest other foods. it relieves
the weak and possibly inliumed stomach
Of the labor 1t Is in no condition to per.
form, gives now strength to the body and
presently restores to the digestive organs
their normal vigor Taken Immediately
after eating this remedy insures the di-
gestion of the meal and prevents the fer
mentation of the food, which Is the
source of most Of the afflicted symptoms
which accompany dyspepsia. 1t is also as
agreeable to the taste as it is potent as u
medicine
To show their own confidence in it, and
to hasten its universal adoption, the
Shakers authorize druggists to sell trial
bottles at the nominal price Of ten cents.

OVTGENGRALED BY DEMOCRATS

The Democrats. they say, have conf
plctely ou:gcnGracd the Regular Repub'
lican delegates and have captured the
convention, the very point the Republl-
cans hare wished to prevent They argue
that it would have been better for the
Republicans TO have stayed out Of the
convention and disrupted that body.
Regular Republicans say that Bradford
and Spruance have never borne the heat OF
the parly's battles anyway, and now at
the critical point they surrendered.
The criticism is all the more caustC be-
cause the Regular Republican delegates
elected In this county were those indorscd
by the Addicks' men. Mr. Bradford dur
ing the campaign, contcnded for non
partisan convention In opposition to the
Higgins leaders The attitude Of the Reg
uarB here will encourage the Union Re
pub!cans OF Kent to keep away from the
convention, and they confidently expect
that the court in the mandamus case to.
morrow will render a decision in favor OF
the Republicans.

CONSTITUTIONAL
- CONVENTION
Committees Adjourned Until
Monday Next.
REGULAR REPUBLICANS ANGRY
Because a Compromise Was Made
With the Democrats Before
the Decision Was Given.

DOVER, Dol, December2.
To-day's session of the Constitutional
Convention was devoid of the interest and
sensational features of yesterday, the del
egates devoting much Of their time to the
transaction of important business. The
morning session convened at II O'Clock
and continued for about an hour, after
which adjournment was taken for dinner.
Tho delegates reassembled at l o'clock and
remained in heir chamber until 8 p. m,
when the body adjourned until Monday
morning. Chaplain George Murray Bond
opened with prayer. The preliminary
business being disposed of Chairman
Biggs announced u number Of standing
committees rs follows:
COnstit uti0n on resolution to submit
Constitution to the people for ratification
-Messrs Cooch, Lavender and Richards.
On order Of bu1iposs-M cssrs Bradford
Hartman, Salisbury, llcarne and Cannon,
Rules-Messrs. Cooper, Burris and
Wright
Oaths-- Messrs. Pratt, Spruance and
Ellegood.
Seats for membcrs-Messrs. Spruance,
Martin and Sapp.
A resolution offered by Captain Dalscy
authorizing the appointment of commit.
tee to walt on the Governor, Senators and
other officials and invite them to a seat on
the floor prevailed. An enthusiastic in
cident occurred when William G. Spruance
arose TO oppose the resolution admitting
ladies to tho floor Of the convention. He
did not wish to be ungallant. but he was
afraid that il women were admitted
along with the state officials there would
be no room left for the delegates and the
newspaper men.
The convention supported the members
of Wilmington in this view, but if avail
able space is found for the fair sex in the
limited Senate chamber they will be ad-
mtted. the delegates said
The Union Republicans who bOlted the
Constitutional Convention when the COM
mtteo on credentials announced its report
in favor of seating Ave Democrats and
five Republicans in Kent still remain
steadfast in their determination to take no
part in the proceedings and unless all of
them are seated they declare none of them
will return In this event the convention

nine Republicans
Republican workers who bask In the ex-
Senator's favor talk of holding an i4dig-

misc scheme and therefore throw dis

have done would have been to await tho
