From no one class of men has Paine's
celery compound received more unstinted
praise for its wonderful powers of making
the sick to be well again than from ministers
of the gospel in every denomination.
Rev. Father Ouellet, Rev. DR.. Meek. the

Baird. Rev. W. ]. White, D.. D., of the
Georgia Baptist, are among the hosts OF

statement from so eminent and fearless q
clergyman should be needed.
Paine's celery compound has put an end
to an enormous amount Of sickness and dis
ease.
1t began at the very outset Of its splendid
career to cure men and women OF kidney
troubles, liver complaint and nervous pros
tration. Its greedy and lasting cures of all
these nerve and blood disorders were not
slow in spreading its reputation through
every state in the country. Physicians
everywhere greeted tho great remedy as the
most enlightened, most skillful means that
could be employed for inyigorating the run
down" system.
Thousands OF wholly disinterested men and
women saw their neIghbors and townspeople
made well by Paine's celery compound.
This epooh-making discovery in medicine,
due TO the patience, thoroughness and zeal
Of the great Dartmouth college scientist,
stands today unquestioned as the greatest
brain and nerve strengthener and restorer
the world possesses.

OTHER LANDS THAN OURS.

England is certainly realizing her eX-

and a cabinet council was hurTiedly called
by Lord Salisbury to consider this pressing
question. Two hours were spent over IL,
but what may result viii not be fully known
Just yet. Something must be said in the
House Of Commons in reply to questions,
but the answers will be virtually noncom-
initial, as usual. for this is not a matter
which the government dare speak freely OF
in SO public a manner Crete has now as
sumed the position of Cuba. The reform
committee has been dissolved, and a pro-
visional government has been established.
The president is the well known Gerokostaros
Nolondakis, who was at the head OF the
Cretan embassy 10 the Berlin congress, and
whose ninety-two years of life carry the
wisdom of age, the health of youth and the
spirit of a patriot. The Turks claim that
they are but human beings, and are reveng-
ing themselves for wrongs, is as arrant
nonsense as even Weyler ever uttered. They
are inhuman. and against a w~illfully and
eriminally wrongful government by them the
Cretans have risen, like the Cubans, in
defense OF their homes and their manhood.
II now remains to be seen whether Eng
land will be as pusillanimous in her be-
havior toward Crete as she has been in all
her other foreign relations OF late.

A testimonial concert was rendered Mr..

tiunal church last evening as a parting
tribute to his musical abilities. which have
afforded so much pleasure in time past to
Omaha's music-loving people.
Mr.. Pencil leaves shortly for Germany.
where he will pursue vocal culture for a
year, and last evening was the last occa-
sion in which he will be heard in this city
for some time to come. The church was
well filled by a fashionable audience, which
literally applauded every number on the
program. The first selection "a rendered
by Prof. Taber, with a mixed chorus led by
Mr.. Pencil. 1t was from "Lohengrin' and
was exquisitely performed. the organ play
ing by Prof. Taber being a musical gem in
itself.
Ave Maria as sung by Mr.. wilkins and
a chorus, came in for an encore. This was
followed by a little character sketch by
Frank Lea Short, entitled The Colored
Funeral
Mr.. Pencil next appeared in solo in three
short selections entitled. still VIE die
Nacht," Define Blauen Augen' and Bid
Me to Live" 1t was the only selection OF
the evening in which Mr.. Pennell sang in
solo and was rendered in his usual excel
lent style.
The Scandinavian Glee club was down for
the next number. but owing to conflicting
dates failed to be present. Prof. Taber filled
in the number very enjoyably by a selec-
ton on the organ. The Jewel Song by Miss
Myrtle Coon followed. Two short selections
were played by Prof. Taber and the pro-
gram concluded with a grand chorus of the
Song Of the Vikings, led by Mr.. Pennell,

how to take Mr.. Cudahy's statement that

do not know whether they stand discharged

NOT YET SETTLED.

Very little Is said about the Venezue-
Ian boundary question or the progress
the American commission is making in
determining the rights Of the parties In
dispute, but It Is by no means certain
that all danger OF trouble between the
United States and Great Britain On this
account is over. The American people
seem to have come to the conclusion
that the dispute Wilt be amicably ad-
justed. and IL 10 to be hoped that this
sanguine view Of the situation will be
realized.
The British ministry however has not,
as far as the American public have been
informed, admitted the right of the
United States to interfere, nor has it
agreed to accept the decision of the
commission upon the question. or
course, If the commission decide that
the boundary as claimed by Great Brit
ain Is the proper one, John Bull will ap-
plaud the good sense and fairness of
the American people; but should the de-
cision be adverse to the claims of the
gesher different.
There was much talk earlier in the
proceedings in the Venezuelan case
about establishing q permanent board
OF arbitration for the settlement of all
differences between England end
America; and only few days ago Presi-
dent Cleveland made some very impress
sive remarks on the advantages OF such
scheme; but 1t takes at least two
parties to make successful or accepta-
Bile contract, and until Great Britain,
the party of the second part, is heard
from it cannot be said that the plan is
success.
Besides, events in Cuba are taking
very serious turn. The lives of Ameri-
can citizens have been put in jeopardy
by a Spanish courtmsrtial and public
feeling in Spain and this country is
such that war is easily possible. That
Great Britain sympathizes with Spain in
this matter, the hostile criticism Of the
United States by the British press IN
deniably proves.
Should war between Spain and this
country ensue, British sympathy may
become open and active aid, and in that
event the settlement of ths Venezuelan
dispute by arbitration would be lost
sight Of in the general shake up that
would follow. Hence 1t would appear
to be the part Of wisdom for this govern
ment to prepare for every contingency,
so that II war should come the people
Of the United States would be ready
to meet it.

GENERAL NAMING GOMEZ.

General Maxine Come, commander
in chief of the insurgent forces in Cuba,
is an object of great interest to the
Spanish authorities, and for some time
his movements and whereabouts have
been involved in much mystery.
Various reports have in the mean
time been put in circulation as to his
condition and his intentions, one being
to the effect that he was slowly dying
from consumption, and another that ne
was wasting away from wound re-
ceived in battle, and only desired to es-
cape from the Island to die in peace at
his home in San Domingo.
None OF these reports, however, were
true, IS from recent advices he Ia col
lecting the insurgent forces with q view
OF making an attack by the last of this
month upon the city Of Havana. At
last accounts his followers amounted to
more than ten thousand, and it WAS ex-
pected when the various commands had
united with him that he would have
under his immediate direction an army
OF twenty thousand mon.
From this it would appear that he is
anything but the sick and dying man
his enemies have pictured him. On the
contrary he seems very much alive, and
Is likely to give the Spanisrds much
more trouble before he leaves the is
land. II the Spanish authorities would
only tell the truth occasionally about
Cuba. the American people would have
much more respect for them and place
some reliance in the reports they send
out.

CONDITION OF TRADE.

Trade says: It Is now the middle of
May; too late for business to change
materially until the prospect OF coming
crops are assumed and definite shape

future is more clear there Is q prudent
disinclination to produce much beyond
orders. For the present there is less
