Statement of the Owner of the Building.
CHICA 60, Oct. , 20. NJ Powers,
owner of the Powers building and
head of the Metropolitan college, has
made statement regarding the eggs
which were hurled into the procession
escorting Mr.. and Mrs. w. j. Bryan
from the union depot TO Battery ID
Tuesday afternoon. They were thrown
from "A window of the writing room of
the Metropolitan business college, Cd
the upper floors If the Powers build
ing. at Michigan avenue and Monroe
street, but few moments before the
march came to an end.
Mr.. Powers says:
1T is reported to me that while the
procession escorting MIR. Bryan was
passing this building an improper dem
onstration was made by the hurting Of
missiles from the top of the build
ing or upper floors At the time of
the occurrence the writer was on
one of the lower floors, the upper
stories being occupied by about
zoo students. Not suspecting that any
thing of the kind would take place,
had not deemed it necessary to exer-
else any special surveillance over the
students of this college, and the OBJ
jet of this letter is TO express my
modification and regret at this UNI
seemly occurrence. While | am po-
litically opposed to Mr.. Bryan and the
party he represents, / believe he
should be treated with respect, and l
desire to apologize for an act which
can only be attribute to the thought
lessness of youth"
Chairman Hanna, when told of the
incident last night, expressed deep re-
greet that such an attempt had been
made to insult the democratic pres-
Dental candidate, and expressed tue
hope that the perpetrators might be
caught and punished.
Mr.. Bryan said that he did not know
any eggs were thrown Until late in the
evening, when he heard the report
None of the eggs struck the carriage,
Mr.. Bryan said. nor any of the mem
bers of the party occupying it. The
driver of the carriage knew nothing
whatever con cerning the affair.

DIGESTION AND WORK.
HOW SICK PEOPLE MAY SAVE THEIR
ENERGY.

1t is as hard work for some people to digest
their dinner as it is for a normal man to walk
ten miles.
"After dinner rest WHILE" This is an old
saying 1t means that if after eating heavy
meal you try to do hard work you will exhaust
all your energy. There will be none left for
your stomach. Your stomach needs energy to
work, just as your leg or arm does.
Sick people want energy. They seldom have
enough for their stomach Their digestion is
out OF order and they want to know the reason
It's simple enough as we have told it,
What they onght to do is to save their stonl-
achs from hard work until it is capable doing
it, just as they rest their tired backs by lying
down.
This they can do by using artifcially digested
food. Shaker Digestive Cordial contains such
food; not only this, but it is capable OF digest
ing other foods In the stomach.
Shaker Digestive Cordial affords nourish-
ment and creates new energy as soon as it is
swallowed. Ordinary food tfirst has to be di-
gested. Shaker Digestive Cordial While Great
ing new energy does not expend any. 1t gives
the stomach no work to do. 1t will make thin
people fat. Sick people are naturally thin.
Getting thin is a sign of sickness. A person
may be born thin, and naturally remain so.
Such one is not necessarily sick. All drug
gists keep ii and a 10 cent sample bottle may
first be tried.

WHILE PASSENGERS SLEPT.
A Hole Was Knocked in the Steamer and
She Was Reached

New York, January 9. The new steel
steamer Richard Peck, which plies be-
tween New York and New Haven,
struck at 8 O'Clock this morning
while on the course she daily
follows. The steamboat left Belle dock,
New Haven, with $50 passengers and q
general cargo. When about four miles off
struck the obstruction tearing great
hole in her steel hull am idships and just
forward of her boilers. Captain Hardy
acted promptly. The pumps were put to
work, the boats were prepared for launch
ing and the vessels head was turned to-
ward Norwalk island.
The extent of the damage was not
known, but as water poured in in great
volume, it was feared she would founder
if not beached. Under full head OF
steam and with her crew at their
emergency stations the vessel was pushed
for Norwalk island, reducing the speed as
she approached the shore.
Tht The engines were stopped and I'M
der her own Roadway she ran her nose
upon the soft beach and blew signals OF
distress. The impact with the sunken
wreck had not awakened the passengers,
and it was not until she was beached
that they were notified of the threatening
danger. A boat waslowered and theschief
officer and chief engineer were roweo
around the hull, but could not see the
hole. Captain Hardy ordered some cargo
iettisoned and, thus lightened the Peek
was again aoated and proceeded on her
trip to this city. She arrived at Peck
slip ut O'Clock instead of five, her
scheduled time.
After her passengers disembarked and
the cargo had been laid on the doolz the
boat was taken to the foot of Pike street
and was placed in the drydock. On ex-
animation it was found that the collision
had made hole fifteen feet long and five
feet wide in the steam er's hull.

Miss Cora B. Watts, died in this city
of typhoid pneumonia on the 9th of Janu-
airy. Bonn in Jonesboro, July B. 1877,
she was suddenly taken from the perfect
health and promise of youth. Miss Watts
associated a strong character with dis
position of great loyliness. Her life was
a continual sunshine, retaining both the
cheer and the simplicity OF childhood.
Those who knew her most intimately,
never heard an impatient word drop from
her lips or saw an inpatient action. She
found her happiness in doing her duty,
and nothing brought her such joy as the
opportunity to show her consideration
for Others by some unlocked for kind
ness. The beauty of her character was
the fruit of childllke faith in God In
her quiet manner she unconsciously i'm
parted Christ to those about her. She
had already SO early in life learned the
beauty of living for others ani she drew
forth in response the closest friendship
The influence of her memory should be a
perpetual benediction.
