 The annual meeting of the Newtown Agricultural Fair Company, with all it's unfortunate scenes, has passed into his tory. Let 1t be forgotten. It is much better to meet at such a time and discuss differences of opinion peaceably than to rant and tear around, making it unpleas- ant for all concerned. Even supposing the directors of the Newtown fair had been faulty in the business entrusted to their care, (and from the character of the men composing this board we do not he- lieve that one of them would intentional, ly do wrong), but supposing there had been some mistakes made, considering the faithful and untrrg work done by them they certainly were not deserving of such treatment Now that it is over, forget the past, excuse the personalities said in hasty temper and let all look for ward to brighter future for our fair, with a sincere desire that shall forever prevent similar occurrence at an annual meeting

What Young Lady Thought of the New

1t was once the good fortune of a
Harper's Bazaar writer to read, in the
island of Fayal, letter just written by
a young lady Of Portuguese English
birth who had been reading the New
Testament for the first time 1t was
worth while to see such letter, for
many persons must have felt, first or
last, with Thoreau, that it would be a
delightful thing for anyone to encoun-
ter those wonderful narratives as a
fresh discovery, in maturer years,
apart from all the too familiar associa-
tons of Sunday school and sermon
Such, as any rate, was this young
lady's experience, and her statement of
the result was at least little astonish-
ing She wrote, in her haif-foreign
English, to an American friend in these
words. did you ever happen to read

If strength is what you want you
should study what causes your weak
ness.
1t is practically lack of food.
But you eat three meals day, and
all you can eat at time.
Yes, but do you digest it?
Food undigested, is not food. 1t is
not nourishment
1t doesn't create strength.
To digest your food take Shaker Di-
gestive Cordial at meals. After a
while you will digest your food without
it: Then you will get well, and strong
and healthy.
Shaker Digestive Cordial cures indi-

CONSTANTINORLE, April 2S.-
Those in position to know the facts of
1.-THE case assert that the charges against
Mr.. Knapp are groundless and that
the latter's expulsion, which if allowed
to pass without protest would probably
have resulted in similar action being
taken against other missionaries and
eventually against all Protestant and
Catholic missionaries in Asiatic Tur-
key, for, all deniails to the contrary,
the sultan had prepared to take this
step, and only gave UP the plan upon
the advice of the Russian ambassador
who, however, is credited, rightly or
wrongly, with having conveyed to the
sultan the plan of getting rid of the
missionaries.
