CLEVELAND RIGHT.
An English Professor Of Oxford
Says So.

Tells How the Message Was Received in
Britain-The Honest Opinion of the
People of England is in Favor of the
Monroe Doctrine.
Philadelphia, January 7.-Prof. W.
Hudson Shaw of Oxford University, to.
day, said;
and was there when the war scare over
the Venezuelan affair first started; being
university extension lecturer and con-
stanlty going form city to city and town
to town, had an unusual opportunity
of meeting all classes of the people of
England, in many sections of the ooun-
try, and am sure that know the senti-
ment of the people on the matter. Presi-
dent Cleveland's message came to the
English people like thunderbolt out of
a clear sky. The feeling over there was
one of unutterable astonishment, that
any trouble could ever occur between
England and the United States. This
feeling pervades all GLASSES; the feeling of
the English people for their American
cousins is year by year, becoming more
sympathetic, and among the educated
people In England, tho thought of war
with the United States seems impossible.
There is no single Enlgishman that does
not accept the Monroe doctrine as laid
down by President Monroe, and what
might be called an extension to it which
holds that no European power should
encroach an inch on this continent This
is, of course, what Englishmen as a peo-
pie think, it is not what the politicians
say;
government matter, the universal opin-
ion at first was that President Cleve-
lands message was sent out for political
purposes, now we believe the British
government was wrong, and drew down
President Cleveland's anger justly. We
also think that perhaps his letter could
have been couohed in more diplomatic
language, but we accept the Justice of
Mr.. Cleveland's claim.
"Lord Salisbury's action in refusing
arbitration is regarded as a political
blunder, [ may even say crime, by
many right thinking Englishmen. I be-
lieye great deal of good will come out
of this trouble. l think it will be the
cause of the formation of permanent
arbitration court that can settle all such
disputes bewteen nations Let England
and America keep the peace thirty years
longer and they can dominate the whole
civilized world, forcing them to remain
peaceful. A war would be ruinous to
both and would only result in benefit to
other nations. z"

THE HEALTHY WOMAN.

Aside from form or features she

The bloom on her cheek, the elas-
ITCHY in her step, the ring of her
voice, her enjoyment Of life-all
these are magnets which draw others
to her side. Wonderful and valu-
able as it is, health is not so difficult
q thing to obtain rs some discour-
aged ones think. Most of the trou-
bles of women arise from impure
blood, impaired nutrition and low
vitality. Modern science furnishes
the most successful of remedies for
this condition-namely, Wampoie's
Preparation. 1t contains the flesh

makes fat, restores vitality, enriches
the blood and cures those weak

are the seat of their troubles. 1t is
a blessing to tired wives, nursing
mothers and girls growing into
womanhood.
