The Shakers of Mount Lebanon, a
community of simple. honest, God
fearing men aud women, have pre-.
pared the Shaker Digestive Cordial
for many years, and it is always the
same, simple, honest, curative med
icine that has helped to make the
Shakers the healthy, long lived peo
pie that they are. The Shakers
never have indigestion. This il
partly owing to their simple mode
of life, partly to the wonderful,
properties of Shaker Digestive Cor
dial Indigestion is caused by tn.
stomach glands not supplying
enough digestive juice. Shaker Di
gestive Cordial inyigorates the stom
ach and all it's glands SO that afte
awhile they don't need help. A
evidence of the honesty of Shak e
Digestive Cordial, the formula i

MIR. Hobart $ visit to New York

significance 1t was his first oppor
tunity to talk over the New York
situation since his return from Can
ton, where he discussed the local
faction fight with Maj Mckinley
and Mark 4. Harpa.
Mr.. Hobart deprecates every
movement in politics which may en-
danger the success of the national
ticket. He thinks it poor year for
fights in the patty There was no
question about his position. 1t was
learned that as result Of his com
ing here, there is nc longer anv
question about the position of Maj
Mckinley and Mr.. Hanna
Both Maj Mckinley and Mr. Han
na are convinced that New York can
not be trusted to carry itself for the
republican ticket. They now feel
that with the silver craze making
such headway in the Middle West

kind Of politics to involve the na

TEACH DAUGHTERS TO WORK.

The poorest girls in the world are those
not taught to work. There are thousands
of them. Rich parents have petted them,
and they have been taught to despise labor
and are perfectly helpless. The most for
lorn women belong to this class.
1t is the duty of parents to protect their
daughters from this deplorable condition.
They do them great wrong if they ne
glect it.
Every daughter should be taught to earn
her own living. The rch. as well as the
poor, require this training. The wheel OF
fortune rolls swiftly; the rich are likely to
become poor, and the poor rich. Skill adj
ded to labor is no disadvantage to the rich
and the indispensable to the poor.
Well-to-do parents must educate their
daughters to work. No reform is more i'm
perative than this.

and not be influenced by the claim that
catarrh is q blood disease, you can easily
prove that oatarrh is climatic. Have you
not the severest catarrhal attacks during
winter and spring, and have you but little
evidence OF catarrh during the summer?
Yes. Well, this proves it is climatic dis
order, inflaming the membrane Of the nasal

to invest in blood remedies. The proper
treatment is local application, and the

Catarrh Means Danger,

Because il unchecked it may lead directly
to consumption. Catarrh is caused by I'M
pure blood. This fact is fully established.
Therefore, it is useless to try to cure catarrh
by outward applications Or inhalants. The
true way to cure catarrh is to purify the
blood. Hoods Sarsaparilla, the great blood
purifier, cures catarrh by its power to drive
out all impurities from the blood. Thous-
ands of people testify that they have been
perfectly and permanently cured of catarrh
by Hoods Sarsaparilla.

HUSBAND A HIGHWAYMAN
Strange Outcome of an Assault
Case in Philadelphia.
A Man Attempted to Rob a Woman
on the Street Who Proves to
BE His Wife.

Philadelphia, Pa, March 11.-George
Quick, twenty years old, of No. S34
Russell street. was before Magistrate
Gillespie yesterday morning, charged with
ASA ult and high way robbery. He was held
in 5000 bail for court.
a woman's cries for help at late hour
on Saturday night summoned Patrolman
Pastre, of the Twenty fourth police dis
trict, to the corner OF Jasper and Hart
streets. and there he saw a comely woman
struggling to get a way from the grasp of a
man. The man attempted to escape from
the officer by turning and running down
Jasper street.
The patrolman, however, followed him
closely, and finally drew his revolver and
threatened TO fire, when the man surren-
dered. Both the man and woman were
taken to the station house, and when they
faced each other in the brightly lighted
room, the woman started and exclaimed:
"Oh it's my husband"
In the struggle on the street he had sue
ceeded in taking $5 away from her. At
the hearing Judge Gillespie brought up the
point that If the woma n was the wife of the
man the mar could not be held for high way
robbery. The woman then claimed that
sue was not Quicks Wne- Dut tndt her
name was Mary Campbell.
Quick claimed that they were married
in Camden, n. J., by Rev. Nj Burrell, and
that she had borne him two children. He
said that they had not lived together for
some time and claimed that the wife was
living with another man who was present
at the hearing. This the wife denied, and
she was apparently anxious TO have Quick
committed. In her first statement the
woman told Of a happy marriage nd honey
moon and then of illtreatment, on account
OF which she was compelled TO leave him.
She had not seen him for several months
previous to the assault. Her cries of 'mur-
der" and for help a the time OF the assault
attra cted the attention OF a considerable
number Of people and much interest was
taken in the ca Sc.

TOBACCO HAD THE LEAD.
It Was the Only Strong Feature of
the Stock Market

New York, March 11.-American To-
bacco was about the only feature of the
stock market this morning, and the ire
mendous trading in the stock advanced frum
10 A 10 7S. There were rumors that a
settlement OF trade differences was immi-
nent. but the opinion in the board is that the
bear pool in the stock having too much
company, had advanced the price for the
purpose of squeezing the small shorts.
The sales for the first hour were 10000
shares.
The general market was inclined to weak
ness, although there was no pressure to sell

other leading issues, -1-Sa3-S per cent.
Sugar was sold on reports OF poor trade.

Claims to Have Been Brutally Treated
by Her Husband.
In order to have her husband examined
as to his mental condition Mrs. Emma Ed
wards found it necessary 10 prefer a charge
of assault against him. and the case came
up for trial in Judge Miller's court this
forenoon.
Mrs. Edwards is a bright and pretty
blonde, just eighteen years of age. Her
husband, Henry Edwards, claimed that
his age was forty-five years, but his ap-
pearance indicated that he was not a day
less than sixty. He is over six feet in
height. but disease and whisky have left
their indelible marks upon him, and he is
now little more than a gigantic human
frame, tremulous and feeble in every move
ment.
The pretty young wife while on the wit
ness stand said she married Edwards one
year ago, when she was not quite seventeen
years old. She was his third wife and
while suffering from sudden attacks OF
insanity he assaulted her several times.
DR.. Fowler, of the health office, ex-
amined the man, and informedthe court that
he is undoubtedly OF unsouDd mind. At
his suggestion Judge Miller ordered that
Edwards be sent to st. Elizabeth's Insane
Asylum, and his case certified to the secre-
tary OF the Interior for examination, under
a writ of inQuirendo de luDatico.
