NEGROES COMING BACK.
GEORGIA DARKIES WHO WENT TO
LIBERIA HOMEWARD BOUND.
They Have Reached Liverpool on
Their Way Back to America. Des-
titutiOn Among the Emil
grants.

The negroes who sailed from Savan-
nan in the early part of this year bound
for Liberia are beng heard from. Some
of them have started back home and are
as far as Liverpool on their way. Others
of the emigrants would like to get back
home, but they can't.
A Liverpool dispatch says: OtIe7
Waite and five children and G. W. Farm
er and wife, all colored, who belong to a
party Of 315 emigrants who left Savan-
nah for Liberia by the steamer Labrador
in March, 1896, have just arrived here
from Liberia.
TIE Farmers are destitute and the
Waites have only enough money to ena-
bic them to reach the United States. All
the adult members of the party described
the condition of those whom they left in
Liberia as most pitiable.
They say the land promised them bv
the Llberian agents in the United States
turned out o be absolutely no good
They claim there is no gold or diaronds
there. They assert that more than half
OF the Labrador's party are dead, and
that the rest of them are trying to reach
the United States.
The Waites and Farmers say in conclu-
sion that the Liberian government did
nothing for them, and that the climate
of the republic of Liberia is most I'M

LIVINGSTON GOINGTO HONDURAS
President of the Republic Requests a Visit
From the Georgian

From the Georgian.
An important mission will call Con-
gresham Livingston to Honduras early
IN November. He has received a commu
nicatiOn from President Bonnella asking
him to make the trip for the purpose of
consulting with him concerning certain
concessions in gold mining which he
wishes to place with the United States.
Probably no man in the realm of the
American eagle is greater in the estima-
ton of the Central and South Amer
lean peope than Colonel LIE n
idas Livingston, and he has erect
ed down there "a monument down
there more lasting than bronze, as Hor-
ace would remark, but the bronze part is
also there, for in one Of the public
squares of Caracas stands the bust of the
representative Of the fifth with a wreath
Ct laurelS encircling his massive brow.
and scroll of parchment clasped in his
hand, upon which is tabulated

They have declared him the nDblest Ro-
man oD the beach, and it is said that it
is constitutional provision that all cit
lzens shall salute the stalwart figure of
the, colonel as they pass through the
park.
Be that as it may he has shown them
valuable service, and Crespo has declar-
ed his appreciation iL emphatic WAYS.
By transferring his lares in that cline.
there's no doubt but the colonel c0uld
establish himself as dictator. and it's
dollars to doughnuts he'd run doughty
republic.
Not only in South America, but out
side his fame has reached. and now the
president of Honduras has asked for his
aid. There is an undeveloped Klondike
in that country.
In fact" said Colonel Livingston yes
terday, ~ believe there is more gold
down in that section than way up there
IN the artiC regions'i
Heretofore the concessions to mine
the gold has been let to English svndi-
Gates, and they have had full monopolv.
1t occurred to the president that he
would like to cultivate more friendly
attitude toward the United States, and
in order to further trade relations decid-
ed tc place the gold mining concessions
IN this country, if possible. So he has
invited Colonel Livingston down, and
through him negotiations will be opened
mp. The government of Honduras will

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local application, as it cannot reach
the diseased poation OF the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by inhamed condition Of the mu-
couS lining of tho Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inhamei you have a
rumblng sound of imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and the tube restored
to its normal condition hearing will be
destroyed forever. NiLe cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but inaamed condition Of the mucous

ing Too Much of 1t There.
Several days ago number of newspa-
pers published stories to the effect that
Eli Gage, son of tie secretary of the
treasury, lad been cowhided, or horse
whipped, at Dawson City, because the
transp 'ratiOn and trading COMPANY
with which he is connected had import
ed too much whiskey and to little pro-
visions. Whether there IS or not anv
truth in the story of the summary pun
ishment of Mr.. Gage for the act of his
company there is no doubt of the truth
that there is wOtul lack If something
to eat at Dawson, and an equally woeful
pleutltude of something to drink there.
Returning miners all speak of the great
amount OF whiskey and the small amount
provisions being taken to tue central sup
ply point of The KlOndike. According TO
late aducts just. about the entire stock
of eatables at Dawson had been sold out.
and there was small probability of the
stores being replenished this winter.

Indigestion is often taken for con-
sumption. The word consumption
means wasting away, and dyspeptics of
ten waste away as badly as cousump-
tiVes.
The reason people waste away is be-
cause they either do not get enough to
eat or they do not digest what they do
eat.
If the latter is your trouble take Sha-
ker Digestive Cordial. This will help
you to digest your food and stop your
loss Of flesh.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is made from
herbs, banks and the juices of fruit, by
the well-knowu Shakers at Mount Leba-
non. 1t possesses great tonic and digest
i've powers.
Shaker Digestive Cordial has cured
many supposed consuEp tives (who were
really dyspeptics) by simply helping
their stomachs to digest their food, thus
giving them nourishmenG and new
strength.

special from Atlanta says The
recent tangle between the liquor deal
ers of Atlanta, the railroads and the
state officials of South Carolina over
the shipment Of liquor into the latter
state, has reached a novel climax.
Under the ruling of Judge Simon
ton as to what constituted an
original package the railroads have
been sending large quantities Of
of liquor across the line and the dis
pensary business has ceased almost en-
tirely, Last week the Southern rail
road refused to continue the business,
and has a big law suit in consequence.
The Seaboard Air Line notified the
dealers that they would continue to
carry liquor until midnight last night,
when the traffic would ceased.
In the scramble to take advantage of
the limited time carload after carload
of strong drink has been shipped from
this city, one firm alone sending seven
cars. Vhe result is that in Atlanta liz

THE POLITICIAN.

One of the best things about Presi-
dent Mckinley is that he never goes
off half.cocked, He always knows when
he starts just where he wants TO go.
When he sent that message to Congress
asking that $50, 900 be appropriated for
the relief of destitute American citi-
zens in Cuba he went as far as he de-
sires to go in that direction at present.;
and he was not affected by threats Of
Senators to side track the tariff bill, if
the Cuban belligerency resolution was
not adopted, nor by the contemplate
tactics of the Democrats in the House,
who delayed that appropriation three
davs merely to try TO embarrass the
administration ana to seek for popular
ity through the known sympathy eX-
isting among our people for Cuba, by
trying to combine the recognition ol
Cuban belligerepcy with the appropri
alton. While all this has been going
on President Mckinley pursued the
even tenor of his way. He has NOR,
real sympathy for Cuba than some o
those who have been making blooC
and thunder speeches in Congress, a
will in due time be seen. He is look
ing forward to something great dea
better than the recognition OF the bel
ligerency of the Cubans, and when tn,
proper time, in his Judgment, shall ar
rive, he will act, and his action will
be IN keeping with the man, firm, reso
lutte, and above all thoroughly Ameri
can. He doesn't believe in doing sen
sational things, nor in being so hastJ
that important consequences are oyer
looked. With the destitute Americans
in Cuba provided for, there is no occa
sion for haste in any further action to
wards Cuba, while there is every rea
son for haste in getting the tariff bill,
which will be taken up in the Senate
next week, enacted into law The

ment is to hep our own people; then

Turtle as T. Fox Trap

c. r. Perry, of Herrick, Pa. has been
fattcning a 2o-pound swapping turtle
all winter. One Sunday his turtleship
was taken out of the barrel and allowed
to wander about the yard. Early one
morning recently Perry was aroused by
the noise of a scutfle in the yard. Re
pairing there, he found the turtle hang
ing to the nose of a big fox, which had
been stealing from the henneries in the
vicinity for month. Dr'er Fox was
near the fence endeavoring to get over,
but his efforts were blocked by the
turtle. Eventually the fox reached the
next yard, but Farmer Perry followed
and shot him dead. The turtle all the
time retained his hold and refused to
let go until the fox's nose was cut of.
Then it crawled back to its home, car
rying the nose with it as a trophy.

A DRAMATIST'S REJOINDER.
The Only Thing That Col.nan Did
Regret.


Regret.
When Colman, the English dramatist
was examined before the committee OF
| the house of commons, which sat on the
theatrical question, he was asked
whether he eXpurged all oaths or pro.
fame swearing from the plays submitted
to his revision, says the New York Ad-
vertiser. He answered:
Invariably"
Did you ever count the oaths in Your
own comedies of the Heir at Law and
John Bull?'"
Never; but I dare say there are a
great many"
Which you disapprove off"
"Undoubtedly."
"Do you not think it would have been
better to have omitted them?"
Much better. They disfglre the
scenes in which they are introduced,
ard injure the humor."
Then" continued the chairman,
thinking to clinch the argument, you
are sorry now that you wrote either of
those comedies?"
Quite the contrary" rejoined the
licenser 81 rejoice exceedingly TO
have made a good pudding, although L
regret that any bad plums should have
crept into it."

MEASURING The EARTH.
The Mountains and stars Are both
Called Into Use by Astronomer.

The Mountains and Stars Are Both
Called Into Use by Astronomers.
The longest distance ever encon1-
passed by the human vision, so far as
the records go, is 1s3 miles, between
the Uncompahgre pcals in Colorado,
and Mount Ellen, in Utah. This feat
was accomplished by the surveyors of
the United States coast and geodetic
survey, who are now engaged, in con-
junction with representatives of other
nations, in making q new measure
ment of the earth, says the Philadelphia
Record.
The observers on the Pacific coast
have been able to signal from Mount
Shasta to Mount Helena, n distance of
100 miles, but have never been able to
get n response. Between the two other
peaks communication has been continu-
Gus for an hour or more on several oc-
casions.
The Uncompahgre is 14,3oo feet in
height, while Mount Ellen is 13,400.
The longest distance that the human
eye ever reached until this record was
made was between Algiers and Spain,
16S miles.
The measuring of the earth. which is
now going on, is no simple task. The
width of the ocean can only be asccr-
tained by astronomical observations.
The observers at Greenwich and at
Washington note each night the exact
moment of the rising of certain stars,
and then, by mathematical calcula-
tions, turn the difference in time into
distance. This is corrected and cor
roborated by other observations upon
other stars, and by q series OF expert
ments, which furnish an average that
is approximately accurate.
The difference is seldom more than
a small fraction of a second, and is at
tributed to atmospheric phenomena.
The Pacific ocean is measured in n
similar manner by joint observations
with tho Lick telescope, in California,
and that of the Imperial university of
Japan, at Toxic.
