DINING AT WINDSOR CASTLE.
1t Is an Honor Enjoyed by Very Few
Americans.

The peculiarities of dining with Queen
Victoria at Windsor Castelar, honor
which few Americans can hope to enjoy
are thus described by a recent writer, and
most readers will be interested in the de :
script ion of what they can never hope to
see in person. On arriving at the visit
ors' entrance Of the castle the guests are
received by the pages of the chamber,
who, after consulting table on which
each persons location is written out
conduct the guests to their respective
apartments. The visitors rooms are
spacious, warm and thoroughly comfort
able; they are hung with interesting pic
lures, and each contains large BATH
with perpetual hot and cold supply If
the guest is known to any one in waiting,
he will probably be speedily looked up by
his friend; if he is acquainted with a

The revulsion of feeling was almost too

FORGER AND BRiBE GIVE r.
Populist Bateman's Serious Charges
Against Popocrat Bryan.

Lewiston, June 21.-Prof. L. c..
Bateman of Auburn, who was the candi-
date of the Peoples party of Maine for
governor Last year, and who is d leader of
the Middle-of-the. Road forces in New
England, has today made public two inn
portant charges against William J. Bryan.
He says that Populist Congressman
Freeman Knowles of South Dakota,
whilo on his recent trip to his old home
at ESkowhegan, informed prominent
citizen of that town, that Mr.. Bryan S
recent gift of $500 to the Populist Ma
tional committee was made with the dis
tinct understanding that no action
against fusion should be taken by the
Peoples party before the next national
convention.
This, Prof. Bateman says, is nothing
more or less than direct bribery.
Bateman also says that Bryan has ap-
pended his (Bateman' 81 name to Senator
Aliens letter of notification given out
last September. Bateman was secretary
of the notification committee, but did
not sign the letter in question. He says
that Bryan's action in printing his
name to the letter in his new book is an
act of political forgery.
Bateman is delegate to the Middle of
the-Road national conference at Nash
vile, Tenn. July 4th, and will bring
these matters before that body.

LIVER CLOGGING.
WHEN YOUR STOMACH CLOGS YOUR
LIVER SEE TO YOUR DIGESTION.

E0tone person in a thousand knows that the
cause of bliousness is the clogging of the liver
by the poisons of indigestion. Nor that the
only proper cure for 1t is a tonic to aid the
stomach. But modern medicine declares the
truth of it. And the Shakers have proved it by
the wonderful success of their Shaker Diges-
tive Cordial.
One of thsnost important uses of the liver is
to arrest and destroy all poisons which try to
find their way into the blood. When it's clogged
1t can't do this.
Undigested food ferments and Dutrefes in
the stomach, and the poisons of putrefaction
clog and paralyze the liver, after which they
find their way into the blood.
Here is the true explanation of all the dis
tressing disorders and complications caused by
indigestion.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is the only tonic
cordial which aids the stomach in natural way
to digest its food BY this means, it cures indi-
geston, restores the liver, and frees the body
fl ON poison and disease.
Headache, dizziness, neuralgia. mental de-
PRESTON weakness. bad taste. fever, fiatulence
constipation, loss Of appetite, anaemia. rheu-
matism, and many other d sorders are relieved
and cured by Shaker Digestive Cordial.
At druggists Ten cents for a trial bottle.
Write for book to The Shakers, 80 Reade
Street, New York.
