1t may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restor-
ing the tired out nervous system to q
healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This
is purely vegetable, acts by giving tone
TO the nervous centres in the stomach,
gently stimulates the Liver and Kid
neys, and aids those organs in throw
ing of impurities in the blood. Elec-
tric Bitters improves the appetite, aids
Digestion, and is pronuuced by those
who have tried it as the very best blood
purifier and nerve tonic. Try it. Sold

ENGLISH POsToFFICEs PAY.-The
English postotfice department is the
only institution of the sort in the world
that brings big revenue to the Gov
ernment. Last year the total number
Of packages of all kinds delivered in the
United Kingdom was 5000, ,527 900, an
average Of II to each inhabitant. The
total profit to the government from the
charges tor transmission was sic, ,160,
610
These are the top notch figures that
that British postal records show. They
indicate aavy increase in the amount
of mail handled, and also show careful
business management, which the civil
service reformers are quick to claim is
the result of the rigid enforcement OF
their ideas.
That the same spirit of carelessness
our own postal authorities note is
abroad in Britain is shown by the fact
81 $40 letters were posted last year that
were without addresses. Over half q
million dollars was found in letters that
were opened in the English dead letter
office.

THE ARCHBISHOP WAS UPSET.
What caused the Archbishop of Canter-
bury and the Bishop of Winchester a
very bad quarter of an hours anxiety
took place at Buckingham Palace i'm
mediately before the royal wedding,
and the contretemps might have had a
very serious result, says the London
Chronicle. Both the Archbishop of
Canterbury and the Bishop of Winches-
ter torwsrded their clerical robes
early on Wednesday morning to Buck
ipgham Palace, directing them to be
sent TO the robing room, which had
been set apart for the assembly of the
clergy, and where they were to dress
for the wedding service. The two high
diguitares of the church arrived in
good time in order to robe, but not a
ves,ige of their surplices or other
c.nonicals could be found. The Arch
bishop was extremely anxious, and so
also were all the palace officials, and
the time was drawing nigh for the
clergy procession to thu chapel, and
yet the missing lawn was not to be
found. At last Lord Edward Pelham
Clinton was informed Of the impending
ca strophe, and he at once set com.
p etc army of court officials to work to
selrch every room in use for the miss
ins robes. They were eventually
found in another room, but only just
in time for the Archbishop and Bishop
of Winchester TO dress and hurry to
the chapel. The other clergy had
brought their vestments with them,
and so were ready long before the
time. The Archbishop, it is said, was
very much upset by the contretemps.
Some servant or another, not knowing
the robing room, had misplaced the
portmanteau bearing the robes in the
wrong room.

223. ALEXANDRTA VA THTJRSDAY EVENING" SEPT
COMMUNICATED.

A BOLT AT BoLTERs.-It is beyond
me to comprehend how one who calls
himself a democrat can vote in favor OF
the republican patry.
The "bolting democrats" are surely
unable to elect their own candidate,
but they may possibly cause the defeat
of Bryan. Knowing these facts these
men must possess consciences which
give them very little trouble. They
are men who will rejoice in she cleo
ton of Mckinley and who will find it
very difficult 10 explain to democratic
Alexandria how they remain what they
call themselves, j. e., democrats
1t may not be out ofseason to suggest
that in the event Mckinley is elected
Palmerites will receive no thanks from
the true democratic party, and will GER
tainly be left in the cold by all republi-
cans, and when monopoly and high
tariff and money scarcity, and perhaps
a force bill are installed supreme, it will
be useless to try to bolt from this au-
thority and power.
When men, calling themselves demo.
Gratis, under the thin guise of sound
money principles" have succeeded in
again dethroning the peoples interests
and subjecting their fellow citizens to
unprincipled despotism, these men these
democrats? Will find that their action
has awarded them nought but the just
indignation Of every home in Alexan-
dria. M.
