"MRs. BRoWNING :.
MT. Ebert Hubbard's Talk at the Home
 of Mrs. s. s. Cady.

of Mrs. s. s. CHdy.
 Mrs. Elizabeth Barrett Browning was the subject of MT. Elbert Hubbard S talk in the drawing room of the Hill- house avenue home of Mrs. S. s. Cady yesterday afternoon. An audience of more than one hundred women inter- ested in literature and art greeted the self-confessed Philistine, and listened with rapt attention to his portrayal of the character of Mrs. Browning.
 AS in his writings, so in his talks, MT. Hubbard is refreshingly yet unaf- fectedly iconoclastic; not that he seeks to break our idols, but by reason of the fact that he has tendency less to deify than to present them as they were in the flesh. It may be that 1t all arises from the fact that he maintains his mental equipoise, and while reyer- ent and appreciative of things as they are, never permits them to float afar off to be softened and made unreal in the haze of distance
 By no massing of Biographical facts did MT. Hubbard present Mrs Brown ing as she appears to him; but by the throwing on the screen, as it were. of a few pictures with explanatory remarks he sketched his subject with a tender fidelity that met with sincere admira- ton.
 MT Hubbard will talk on the ''Haunte of Shakespeare at the residence ot Mrs. Platt. at 1194 Chapel street this afternoon.

There was never a remedy so emi- nently successful, so far above and be- yond all competition, as Paines celery compound.
 Paines celery compound effects mar vicious cures.
 Where other remedies miserably fail, and where doctors do not succeed, there Paines celery compound is found curing disease, making people well and happy.
 Here is the case of Mrs Half, who lives at TAO Summer Ave, Newark, N. J.. and whose portrait is printed here.
 My doctor" she says, .'called my disease liver complaint, stomach trou- ble, nervous dyspepsia, and almost ev- cry other name you could think of. When I was in Portland, Ore, I had enlargement of the liver and the doc- tor thought all the troubles came from that severe spell of illness. That was F years ago, and I have done nothing but doctor ever since. I have had the best physicians examine me, and see if they could do anything for me. For months at time my stomach and liver have been so sore that I could lie In bed only in misery, and with such se- were pain in my back, and so weak that could hardly talk.
 After I had a bad night I would send for the doctor, and he would leave me a small box of powders and one or two other medicines, and it would cost me $4.00 every time I had one of these spells. I believe I have taken more medicine than any other living woman.
 Last March I had call from a lady friend of mine. who asked me, What is the matter with you?" I replied by saying How well you look!' Yes, she said, T never felt so well in my

After the doctor had done all that he could for me told him not to come again. showed him a bottle of Paine's celery compound and told him I was going to give that a fair trial. As a result am strong and well.
 T sent right over to the drug store and got a bottle of Paine's. celery com pound, and when I had taken two bot ties the soreness had left my stomach and my side felt much better. After I had taken four bottles my side was much stronger, and was in better spi- rits and felt as though I might live and not be in such misery. Working people nowadays work the vitality all out every week, and all ask is to be able to earn the money I have to every week.
 "Paine's celery compound has ena- bled me to do this, and has done me more good than all the doctors put to- gether.
 Why, my nervous system is so en- tirely strengthened that I feel like a new being, and, what is more, I look the good the medicine has done me right in my face and eyes Just tell all poor women for me that for a med icine to build one up, give Paine's eel cry compound fair trial, and If it does not do it, then they might as well die. l have recommended 1t to several and it has helped in every case. have a great deal to worry me, and dose Of the compound gives me quiet sleer and then I can work.

 force are neglected or badly executed you should not forget that it is your privilege and duty to insist upon their vigorous and honest enforcement. Let me also remind you of the application to your case of the truth embodied in the homely injunction: 'If you want a job well done, do it yourself"
 If members of your profession were oftener found in our national and state legislative assemblies, ready to advo- cate the reformatory measures you have demonstrated to be necessary and to defend your brotherhood against tiippant and sneering charges of inn practicability, the prospect of your be- stowal upon your fellow men of the ripened results of your professional la Dor would be brighter and nearer.
 While thus suggesting the need of your influence in legislative circles for the accomplishment of reforms related to your profession, you will, I hope, permit me, in conclusion, to enjoin up- on you the duty of an active and gen. eral interest and participation in pub- lie affairs for the promotion of your countrys good in all it's phases. Our government was founded in the faith and anticipation that those who loved it most and were best able to hold it steady would be at it's helm. Without this it will surely go astray.

END OF A LONG STRIKE
NORTHERN ILLINOIS MINERS HAVE
RESUMED DIGGING COAL.
Increase of About 10 Cents a Ton
Granted 10000 DEMONSTRATORS Dig
gers the Only Strikers Now Out.

CHICAGO, Nov. 26.-The coal mining
strike in the northern Illinois district ended
to-day. Twelve thousand men have gone
back to work in the Coal City, Braidwood,
Carbon Hill, Spring Valley. Bodi, Seaton-
vile and Oglesby fields. One thousand men
remain out at Streator, the only point where
miners and operators have not agreed. A
settlement there is expected within week
Victory is with the miners, although they
have not won all they asked for Their
chief demand was for a mine rum price
that is, rate per ton as the coal comes
from the mine unscreened. This has been
conceded in some places. Where the rate
remains fixed on the price per net ton of
screened coal. a substantial advance has
been Won The increase in wages all
through the district amounts approximately
to 10 cents a ton over the schedule made
last May.
The strike had been on since July A. 1t
started as a part of the general strike or
dered by the United Mine Workers of Amer
ica The Pennsylvania and Ohio miners
settled their difference early in September
In Indiana work was resumed about the
same time. The 10000 miners of Illinois re-
fused to ratify the terms of the agreement
made at Columbus, O., and continued the
strike

WASHINGTON, Nov 26.-The naval trial
board has made a report on the recent two

in the world. The board says in part:

to the comfort of the men, but 10 her sea-

her sea-going qualities appear to be excel

CLODFELTER's FIRST CAR.

for Construction Work.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
PARAMOUNT, Ind, Nov. 26.-The article
which appeared in this mornings Journal
from Anderson, stating that the Paramount
Council had granted the proposed Codfelter
electric railway an extension of their fran
chise through the corporate limits of this
city, is untrue and entirely without founda-
ton. Last Tuesday morning the Town
Board of Summitville granted Clodfelter an
extension of his franchise from January
until July, and not Paramount, as reported.
The Clodfelter franchise does not expire
until Dec 81, and the company has not
asked for an extension. This company has

THE CABINET MEETING.
Points in the Presidents Message Con-
sfdered by His Advisers.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-The Cabinet
meeting to-day called together every mem
Der of the Presidents official family and
lasted fully an hour longer than usual. Not
withstanding this, it was said that the pro-
ceedings were generally of routine nature.
and that Cuban affairs was not touched
on beyond g. congratulatory reference to
the fact, reported to the State Department,
that the last of the Americans who have
been held prisoners in Cuba has been re-
leased in the person of Luis Someland. The
President has not finally completed his mes
sage to Congress. The matter, however, is
in such shape that it can be put in form
for the printer at a days notice, but TINS
notice has not yet been given, and the
Cabinet spent most of the time OF to-day
session going over once more certain por-
tons of the document One of these por-
items was the very first chapter OF the mes
sage, treating of the foreign relations OF
our government. 1t is the intention at pres
eTit to devote much attention in his mes
sage to the subject of trade relations and
reciprocity so that there was some talk to-
day respecting the positions assum~ by the
great European sugar-producing countries
that the laying of countervailing duty on
sugar to offset the homs-paid bounty
amounts to unjust discrimination. 1t is GER
tain that the arrangement of reciprocal
agreements under the tariff law which Con-
gress directed should be prepared as speed
lily as may be is retarded by considerations
growing out of these bounty questions.

also a number of residences in Chesterfield.
The jar was perceptibly felt for ten miles.
Fire followed the explosion, but the flames
were quickly eXtinguished. The damage to
