in a gentle voice.
Look here Gissie, if you ask me

Cissie looked up again with something
like her former indignation in her eyes.
"In throw the machine into the

Jack smoked ON, gazing up, as he had
promised, at the tree tops. The silence
was broken only by the sweet singing
of the birds and now and then by
quick catch of the breath on the part of
Cissie. Five minutes elapsed and then
ten.

her head.

the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is cansed by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining Of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored TO Its
normal condition, hearing will DO de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inilamcd condition OF the mucous sur

what silver won't DO.

The popularity of the silver standard is
that whatever results it may produce
must inevitably prove bitter disappoint-
ment to great part of those who clamor
for it. II it should not raise the value OF
the silver dollar it would be useless to the
mine owners who have been paying the
expenses OF the campaign, but II it should
raise the value of the silver dollar then it
world afford no advantage to the debtors
and it wouldn't raise the prices OF farm
produce. II it did raise the value OF
farm produce it would infiict unlimited
suffering upon the wageearners who are
very generally clamoring for It, and II 1t
did not it would leave the farmers who
are shouting for it In much OF the West
and South, and occasionally in the East
also, worse off than they are now. II is
simply impossible that the silver standard
should benefit both the producers and the
consumers of farm produce, and stimuli.
taneously raise the value OF silver for the
benefit OF the mine owner and lower the
value OF the dollar for the benefit OF the
debtor. Journal Of Commerce.

FrenclhtOwn Items.

In recent trip through the township
of Kingwood and Franklin, my attention
was called to the large amount of grain
taken to the Frenchtown and Uhlertown
markets; also, to the amount of hay,
straw and wood, and the amount OF lime,
coal and fertilizers which are taken there
from. Frenchtown and Uhlertown arc
both thriving places, where forty years
ago there were but few houses. A
bridge over the Delaware river connects
the two places.
Uhlertown was named after Michael
Uhler, its owner, who located here In
1853 Coal is hero landed from the ca.
nal and the large lime kilns stand upon
the bank of the canal. Coal and lime arc
hauled over the bridge in wagons to the
various uses to which they are put.
In the centre OF Frenchtown is the
steam spoke, sash, blind and wheel man
ufactory OF Lorenzo s. ID. Kerr. In the
northern part Of the place, Wilbur Slack g
spoke and wheel mandatory Is located,
and in the southern part, that of Nathan
Shurz IL Co, who have been engaged
many years in the same business. There
are four churches.
We may at some future time more fully
describe tho business places, but will
mention large brick building now in
course of erection by Magnolia Lodge,

"For five weeks lived on cold water,
so to speak," writes man who suffered
terribly from indigestion.
He could hardly keep anything on his
stomach. What stayed, wasn't properly
dgested and gave him terrible pangs.
This is not an uncommon case. Dys-
peptics don't get enough nourishment
They are generally thin and weak.
They may eat enough, but they don I
digest enough. Much of what they eat
turns into poison. II this keeps on there's
no telling a0ltat disease they may get next
That's why 1t is best to take Shaker Di-
gestive Cordial, as soon as symptoms Of
indigestion appear.
1t cures all the evils of Indigestion, and
prevents the evils which indigestion
causes.

Justice Lyman has been the means
of giving our town little political ex-
element. The political pot" didn't boil
at all-the so-called ''gold-bugs" appear
ed to have everything their own way, I'M

he would speak on the Money question

House porch. This he did, and had a
fair audience.
lie announced speech for Friday ev-
ening, in front of the Union House, bat
about the time the meeting was to begin,
John Kearns appeared on the scene
and said that he had understood that q
Democratic meeting was to be held there,
and as he was chairman of the city Dem
ocratic committee he proposed to organ
ize il, SO that the meeting should be I'M
der party restraint. Mr.. Lyman objected
to this, and said he was not going TO make
a Democratic speech, but talk upon the
Money question. However, some one
moved that Mr.. Kearns be chairman of
the meeting, which was carried, and Mr.
Kearns took the chair. Mr.. Lyman re.
fused to speak under these circumstances,
and the meeting came to an inglorious
end. Some very warm debates, howev-
er, took place between groups of men as
to the right of Mr.. X, to take the action
he did.
On Saturday evening, however, the ad-
dress was made, and large audience was
present. Everybody was in good humor
and the squire answered several ques-
tons that were put to him. He made
some good points for his side, and some
that were not so good. The wildness OF
this whole silver craze is illustrated by
his closing remark that the Vanderbelts
had that part of the money which he had
spent for his house and improvements
which was in excess OF the price he could
now get for his property, and that he
now proposed to get it back by tho re.
monetization OF silver.

paign novelty, "THE MCKINNEY SHIRT

VIM. Mckinley and Garret A. Hobart, sur
rounded by an artistic arrangement of the
design of the first American flag adopted
by congress, and the present flag. Above
the portraits is the motto of the Republ.
can party, "sound Money and Protect

the Phila. clubs correspondent with, and
our terms accepted. In June the Phila.

ated by them. A larger guarantee was
demanded or no game. Germantown was
the first club to go back on its agreement,
and Montgomery was good second. To
avoid similar complications in the future,
the management has cancelled all the
dates with Philadelphia Association clubs.

Senator Smith, before his departure
for Europe, left behind letter in which
he does not hesitate TO express his fears
in regard to the strength of the silver
movement, not only in the south and
west, but In the eastern states, and he
counsels active and vigorous work be-
tween now and election to countcract it's
isidious progress. 1t scarcely needed
the Senator's views to impress upon
every one who believes in maintaining
the financial integrity OF the country on
sound money basis, but what he SAYS
will emphasize the situation In this re-
spect, and every Democrat who values
the good OF his country above fraud and
chicanery will give every assistance in
his power to defeat the Chicago nomi-
noes. Republicans, too many Of whom
have expressed tho idea that their party
had a walk-0ver, should also realize the
exact situation before it is too late and
bend every energy TO countcract the
spread OF the silver idea. They must
not only work hard among their own
people, but they must make every con-
vert they can 10 the cause OF sound
money. Every Democratic worker and
every Democratic vote should be en-
couraged, and every allusion in Itepnbl-
can newspapers that would tend to
ALLEVIATE Democratic votes should be
suppressed for tho good Of the cause
that every lover of his country and his
conntry's honor should have at heart. -

game of ball between the Doyestown Club
and the home team in last Fridays Phila-

reads "The Doylestown club received its
