THE HONEST SHAKERS AND THEIR
CURE FOR DYSPEPSIA.

The shopkeeper who cheats US by lying
with regard to the quality Of his goods.
and the grocer or the butcher who gives
us short weights, is a thief. However,
their knavery touches nothing but or
pocketbook. There is another widespread
form of Misrepresentation OF a far more
dangerous and villainous character
We refer to the false statements and
worthless guarantees that frequently ac-
company medicines. To guarantee a med
icine to cure Is to brand it as a quack
product. If we can guarantee to cure dis
ease, then we can guarantee everlasJ-
lng lie, for in large majority Of cases
people die of disease, the proportion OF
violent or accidental deaths being very
small.
The Shakers have always been known
as a most upright and honorable people,
and their success in the manufacture or
medicines has also been well known. 1t
Is therefore not surprising to find them
pursuing very original and novel plan
for the Introduction of their remedy for
dyspepsia
These God-fearing people whose motto
has always been try all things and hold
fast that which is good" have put upon
the market ten-cent sample bottles Of
their product or sufficient to give IL
trial.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial is so
prompt in its action that for the trivial
sum OF ten cents a person can usually
determine as to whether or not it meets
the requirements Of his case There are
forms of dyspepsia which 1t won't help.
nut these are very rare. In most cases
the first dose relieves all distress and an
Increase of appetite at once follows.
All druggists have It, and the next time
you are troubled with indigestion send out
and try this popular and successful pro-
duct. 1t represents nearly a hundred
years of patient investigation and study.

BEFORE THE RECORDER.
\ Lively Lot of Cases Yesterday ana
More To-day.

\ Lively Lot of Cases Yesterday ana
More To-day.
The recorder disposed Of a number of
cases yesterday making some happy by
dismissals and casting others into the
sloughs of dependency by heavy penal
ties.
Title Haywood's offense was considered
worth IS or fifteen days, as she had been
very disorderly and cursed and abused and
cut a man on the street.
John Williams and Mira Bennett got
continuance They were charged with
having stolen chickens.
Mr.. Smith was dismissed on charge of
having stolen pair of shoes.
Maria Lawrence, jamie Collins. jamie
Williams and Ben Hardee, for fighting on
the street got 50 or ten days.
Thomas Leroy is a sort of a "hoodoo"
negro who is characterized by one little
idiosyncracy of carrying a human lower
jaw bone suspended around his neck,
which, by opening his vest. he sometimes
displays to the establishment and awe or
the credulous among his race. This time
it was on a charge of dsorderly conduct
and cursing and abusing a negro named
Lane that he was tried ana dismissed.
The real trouble was that Lane was very
much afraid of him in his capacity as a
"hoodoo"
Charles Lee was turned over to the su-
perior court on charge of larceny.
J. +. Ferrand, a white man, was held
subject to a warrant, and David Nj. Gold
berg was dismissed. he having been charg-
ed with disorderly conduct and assaulting
and beating his wife.
George Bowles was given 81 or three
days for disorderly conduct in the street
and cursing and abusing an officer while
in the discharge of his duty.
Before the recorder to-day will be Nellie
Wright, a white woman much in evidence
about the courts, who nearly always gets
thirty days. Nellie lives in Cooper Shop
lane, in the 'CTaw. and her favorte pas
time is getting drunk and dsorderly That
is what she was this time and she will
doubtless get the usual penalty.
II. J. Roberts. for being drunk and lying
on a State street stoop, will also appear
as will Lou Davis a negro woman ram
pant, who got to cursing and abusing and
finally wound up by striking an officer
with rock. Lou will probably fare bad
ly as a result of her amusement.
Halle Wood is charged with having been
drunk and cursing and abusing another
woman in house on South Broad street.

stormy Meeting of the Directors of
the Parent Company.


Baltimore, Nd, Oct. 5.-The directors
of the Seaboard and Roanoke railroad.
which is the parent company Of the Sea
board Air Line system, held meeting
to-day in President r. Curzon Hoffman's
Office in this city. to discuss the affairs
of the company, ana examine the annual
report preparatory to It's presentation at
the stockholders meeting to be held at
Portsmouth. Va, tomorrow. The direc-
tors present at the meeting. were r..
Curzon Hoffman. who presided; Louis Nc
Lane. and Charles ID. Fisher of Balti-
more, W. ". Fuller OF North Carolina,
Leigh r. Watts Of Portsmouth, Va, and
Moncur Robinson of Philadelphia. Vice
President and General Manager ST. John
was also present, by invitation of the
board.
The meeting was held between closed
doors. and if reports be true it was not
marked by the same harmony that in
times past has characterized the confer
ences of the directors. Various rumors
were atioat as TO what transpired at the
meeting but these could not be confirm
ed They referred to the retirement of
President Hoffman, at the annual meet
ing tomorrow. if his course in the rate
war was not approved by the stockhold-
ers.
Another report was that Vice President
ST. John would retire, In regard to this
latter rumor, it might be said that Vice
President St. John has a contract with
the Seaboard Air Line that has seven
years to run yet and he would not likely
surrender a position that pays $4,000
year unless he has something in sight. He,
however may be forced out.
President Hoffman issued a circular to
the stockholders advising them not to sell
or give options on their holdings, stating
that the stock was worth much more than
par, and giving what appeared to him to
be good reasons for the opinion.
The directors and some of the largest
stockholders left for Portsmouth tonight
to participate in tomorrow meeting
There the real battle for control of the
property will be fought. Both factions
claim to be confident of victory and the
outcome of the fight between President
Hoffman and Gen. Gill Is looked forward to
with great interest by fnanciers. A ru-
NOR was in circulation this evening that
the Portsmouth meeting may be post
poned.
New York, Oct. Sin regard TO the re
ported purchase Of the seaboard Air Line
by the Southern railway, Mr.. st. John,
vice president and general manager OF
the former line, sends the following state
ment from Portsmouth: You can state
that there is not word of truth in the
rumor recently put forward to intmidate
stockholders and with view OF causing a
scare among them in the hope that they
will dispose of their valuable securities
to the Southern at a low figure. So long
as the people stay with u.s. the compe-
tition which is so necessary to them at
this time and in all the future, they will
doubtless secure, and this statement Will
unquestionably be borne out by the result
of next Tuesdays annual meeting az
Portsmouth. The stockholders of the Sea-
board cannot be stampeded in any sucn
way as that proposed"
