There is no better aid to digestion, in
certain cases, than the cooked apple. 1t
is recognition of this truth-though
doubtless the recognition came before
the truth was fully sppreciated-which
assigns apple sauce as an accompaniment
Of roast pork, goose, and other rich
meats, which are apt to make trouble
with the digestive powers. The dersnge
ments arising from eating too freely of
meats, of almost any kind, are corrected
by the use of any apple regimen, the
fruit being used either cooked or raw.
Paradoxical as it may sound, the free
use of fruit acids, of which the apple is
the very best repository, tends to decrease
that very common disorder, acidity of the
stomach, the chemical action of the re-
lated elements changing the acids into
alkaline carbonates, which tend TO
neutralizs any acid condition of the
system. The American.

Chamberlain's Scheme Approved.

London, June 10.-The St. James Ga- zette enthusiastically concurs with MT. Chamberlain in the proposals which he made in his speech welcoming the. colo nial delegates to the congress of cham bers of commerce, which began its sit ting in Grocer's hall yesterday, but thinks that the movement suggested by Mr. Chamberlain of the formation of a commercial union of the various portions of the British empiresoug to be initiat- ed by the united kingdom instead of the colonies. as proposed by MT. Chamber lain. ....- .,.s.s,,. s..
 The Globe, on the other hand, while concurring in the proposal, expresses be- lief that the proposal should emanate from the colonies 1se
 The Pail Mall Gazette agrees with it's contemporaries in the opinion thxt a commercial union is desirable, but thinks that the establishment of a customs un- ion is very remote, declaring that it will not be reached by the present genera ton.
 The Westminster Gazette takes de- cidedly contrary view, condemning the proposal as dangerous upon the ground that too many tories who are clamoring for protection may succeed in pa1ming off such system upon the country under the guise of imperial federation.

London, June 10.-Mrs. Annie Dyer, the Reading baby farmer, who presumably had murdered scores of Infants intrust- ed to her care, was hanged in Newgat te prison at g o'clock this morning. The weather was rainy, but the crowds in the vicinity of the prison were as large as the available space would accommo- date. When the black flag was hoisted, indicating that the Reading ogress had paid the penalty of her crimes, the crowd cheered loud and long. Since she was sentenced to death Mrs. Dyer twice attempted to commit suicide in Newcas- tie prison. .9ss t

CONSUL GENERAL LEE
Is Rapidly Familiarizing Himself With His
 Official Duties.

New York; June 1O.-Among the pas sengers on the steamer City of Wash ington, which arrived this morning from Havana, were J. G. Delgado and his son, J. M. Delgado. Both gentlemen have suffered many indignities at the hands of Spanish officials in Cuba and are on their way to Washington, where they will lay their grievances before the pres ident and Secretary Olney. Dr. Delgado had an interview with Consul General Lee previous to leaving Havana.
 The City of Washington's passengers, in conversation this morning at Quar- antine, stated that the newly appointed consul general, Fitzhugh Lee, is rapidly familiarizing himself with the routine duties of his office. American residents in Havana are much pleased with the aggressive spirit shown by the consul general.
 There was also on board the City of Washington Felix Cabello, an officer in the Spanish service, said to be on an im- portant errand to this country.

PRESENTED TO THE PRESIDENT. Captain Wiborg' s Petition for Pardon Was
 Numerously Signed.


 Washington, June. 10.--The petition of Capt. J. H. S. Wiborg, master of the steamship, Horsa, for pardon was pre- sented to the president today by Wi borg's counsel. The petition was indors- ed by nearly all the members of the sem ate and house, irrespective of party, and by newspaper men and ship owners along the Atlantic coast The latter speak very highly of Captain Wiborg's character.
 Captain Wiborg in his petition says he did not make any concealment of h.s par ticipation in the Horsa affair. He claim ed that had he supposed he was violating any law of this country itsWould have ap- peared in evidence, but petitioner was wholly unconscious of any guilt. No evil derce was presented, he says, that he had any knowledge of, the expedition when he left the United States except mere differences, He calls attention to the fact that he is a foreigner, and as officer of the Horsa obeyed the orders of the char terers. Captain Wiborg .s-eontends that federal judges had held in similar cases that the facts as presented did not, con stitute a military expedition. Attention is called to the dissenting opinion of Jus tice Harlan of the United States supreme court on the ground that Captain Wiborg did not violate any law of the land. The petitioner thinks it hard that foreigner who has all his life followed the sea- should be punished because he had through ignorance and without intention done an act which is now for the first time declared by a majority of the su- preme court to be violation of the law.

A Heavy Verdict.

New York, June 10.-A verdict for $S5,- 900 in favor of Franklin Howell against the old firm Of A. w. DimmoclS & Go. was rendered by jury in the supreme court today before Justice Barnard. The ac- ton was on a promissory note for $50 900 made in 1884, the Mechanics bank of Scranton being the original holder and receiving at the same time collateral of $60,O00 par stock of the Bankers and Merchants Telegraph company. This stock was sold and brought but $2O0O and the suit was for the balance with interest. Dimmock & Co., were at one time prominent brokers and bankers, but they failed about the time the note was made for over $1,OO0,000. The de- fense to the action was the statute of limitation, and it was also alleged that the bank did not execute it's best judg- ment in disposing of the stock, which, had 1t been sold earlier, would have re- alzed larger sum-

The advocates OF tree coinage
tell II, that doubling the amount
of money in country will bring
prosperity by doubling the price
of farm products. |, this true 1t
is one Of their pct statements and
as such i worth moments con.
sideration. Political economy
teaches that the price of all articles
depe.ida upon the quantity OF
money in the country. so that
when the quantity is increased the
price rises, when denim
ishcd the price falls; but this does
not mean that doubling the guam
tity of money will double the price
of all articles, or that no other
principle comes in to counteract
the influence upon prices of an in
crease of money. In 1865 wheat
sold for SI.o5 per bushe), corn for
81 30 and wool at 81. In 1890
wheat was Csc, corn 4Sc, and wool
33c a pound. Yet the amount Of
money in circulation in the United
States in 1890 was exactly double
that CT 1865. In 1875 wheat was
Sl.12, corn o2c, wool 55C; in 1865
wheat was about orc, corn -lSc and
wool lSc, yet the money in circu-
lation in 1895 was double that in
1875. In the presence of sucl,
figures, what becomes of the tree

Stick 10 the Facts.

On the part OF the free silver adj
vocates this seems to be a cam
paign Of wild assertions based on
nothing but the speaker or writer's
opinion or at best. on perverted
statistics. Mr.. Bryan leads the
way and following all over the
country continue in similar lines
Mr.. Hibbs. financial editor Of the
Lewiston Tribune, is no exception
to the rule. In his weekly frontis-
piece he presents arguments and
illustrations based upon misreprc-
sensations. We call attention
first to the argument made by Mr..
Hibbs upon the purchase of the
silver bullion used by Japan in her
export trade. Japan brings her
exported goods to one market,
sells them for gold, takes the gold
and buys silver at the current
market rate o5 cents per ounce,
So far the facts agree with the as
sertion. The silver is taken home
TO Japan and under free coinage is
coined into the current coin of the
country, the Yen. The silver Neu
of Japan contains 4i6 grains of sill
yer. Sc grains more than our sill
yer dollar and its value as quoted
in the last report of the director o.
the mint is less than so cents. In
other words the silver Yen OF
Japan is worth its bullion value in
the markets of the world, no more
nor no less. 1t will buy no more
goods in Japan then after it is
coined than its bullion value before
it is coined. The assertion that
the silver coinage of Japan is wortl,
ST. So per ounce i'll gold is not true
nor can it be proven. The gold
Nem of Japanese coinage contains
ASIA grains of gold, oS less than
our gold dollar and it is worth oo-7
cents. For all practical purposes
we may say that the gold Yen is
worth one dollar and the silver
Yen fifty cents, and these are their
