A Youthful Bridal Pair.

John P. Atkinson, the seventeen
year-old son Of Governor VIM. Y. At
kinson, eloped from Atlanta, Ca, last
week with Miss Ada Byrd, aged four
teen. Near the governors residence
lives the family of Mr.. c. P, Byrd,
whose bright young daughter, Ada,
caught the attention Of the governor s
son. The love making between the
couple was to have been ended by mar
riage month ago, but the parents
found it out and locked the young peo-
pie in their rooms. Thursday morn
ing young Atkinson learned that Miss
Ada was at the home Of a relative in
the country, whittier he went and joined
her. They were married and went to
Rome, Ga, on wedding trip. When
the governor heard of the elopement
he had the couple arrested and sepa-
rated. The young man says he will
never consent to leave his girl wife,
and she says she will cling to him.
The brides grandmother, Mrs. Bryan,
the authoress, married at fourteen.
Her mother was married at thirteen.
The latest news of the interesting
affair is that the couple will be sepa-
rated until they are a few years older,
when, if they still love each other, the
marriage will stand. In the meantime
the bride will be sent to school and
the youthful groom will remain in care
of his father.

What use IS there in eating when food
does you no good-in fact when 1t does
YOU more harm than good, for such Is
the case if it is not digested
If you have a loathing for food there is
no use of forcing it down, for it will not
be digested. You must restore the di-
gestive organs to their natural strength
and cause the food to be digested when
an appetite will come, and withita relish
for food.
The tired. langud feeling will give
place to vigor and energy; then you will
put flesh on your bones and become
strong. The Shaker Digestive Cordial
as made by the Mount Lebanon Shakers
contains food already digested and is a
digester of foods as well. Its action is
prompt and its effects permanent.

Wants the Canal Sold.

In Hagerstown last Friday bill
was filed in the circuit court for the
sale of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal,
by Ellen S. Stubblefeld, administra-
tor of George S. Stubblefeld, deceased.
George S. Stubblefeld, in 1868, re-
covered judgment against the canal
company for $50, 1883. 1t is to en-
force this Judgment that the bill is filed.
The bill asks that decree be passed
annulling so much of the decree passed
in the consolidated equity cases on
October 2, 1890, as suspending the op-
Grafton of the decree of sale, and al
so that the order of court in the cases
passed on July so, 1894, by Judge
Edward Stake, extending the time Of
suspension of the original decree Of
sale for six years from May l, 1895,
may be reviewed, and that decree
for the sale of the canal and all It's
works be passed to satisfy the liens
thereon.
The bill alleges that the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company has been
enabled through cunningly devised
chancery proceedings and the imposi-
ton upon the court Of equity to op-
crate the waterway as a common car
rier, as well as lis railway, and has
thus been able indirectly to do what
under its charter it could not legally
do directly.
The bill further states that the re-
cent freshet has caused damage
amounting to between $4,000 and
100000 to the canal. A history Of
the canal and the multiplicity Of lit
igation is gone over at length. The
bill charges that the conditions i'm
posed by Judge Alvey's decree have
been violated.

some of the very best places in the

each wanted first class foreign appoint

fered them were rather good places in

SENATOR ELKINs, of West Virginia,
made an exhaustive speech in the SEN
ate on Monday in favor of his bill on
the restoration of our merchant ma
rine. This bill provides that duty
of 10 per cent shall be levied upon all
goods shipped into this country in YES
sells other than those of the United
States, this duty to be in addition to
other duties levied. The Senators in
tention is to encourage the building Of
American ships, and keep all the bust
ness in our own hands. Although the
bill relates to marine matters entirely,
it won't hold water. Just as soon as
such a bill would become law the
other nations of the world would at
once pass a similar one, or something
that would go still further. The con-
sequence would simply be that while
our own vessels might get the bulk of
the business of carrying imports to the
United States, they would have to sail
one way across the ocean empty, leav-
ing our own goods lying upon our
wharves to be carried away by other
vessels to foreign ports.
Business can't be made by such ar
tifcial methods. The freer and the
less restricted trade is the better 1t Is
for all concerned. Governmental pro-
lection and assistance, Of course, can
be made of vast benefit to those upon
whom it is bestowed, but in the end
somebody else must suffer for it.
If a ten per cent duty will have a
tendency to build up a new merchant
marine, why not make the thing a GER
tainty by passing a law absolutely pro-
hibiting the importation OF goods IN
other than United States vessels?

to the Spanish government against the

officer who was captured and who will
probably be put to death as an insur-

cruelty, at the same time our govern

SPEAKING of political bosses, there s
nothing small about Senator George
L. Wellington, of Maryland. The
other day, upon the recommendation
of Congressman McIntire and Booze,
President Mckinley appointed Percy
Henninghausen to be immigrant COM
missioner at Baltimore. Senator Well
ington heard of it, and at once had
the appointment revoked. He then
calmly announced that he was the
head of the Republican party in Mary
land, and that there would be no Of
fees given out except through him.
Everybody who wants anything or to
be anything must bow at the Yelling
ton shrine. There's no other way.
There are some Republicans, pretty
good men, too, who do not relish be-
ing bossed in this style, but President
Mckinley is apparently backing Sen
ator Wellington in his position, SO
there's no help for it.
