Capitol Was Fired.

Rev. DR.. S. c. Swallow, the Prohi
5ltion candidate for State Treasurer,
who charged that the State Capitol
building was set on fire, has issued

Legislative Committee on the origin
of the Capitol fire, showing that it
was of incendiary origin, was suppress
ed by that committee. For reasons

missioners of the building, and
Delaney, their Superintendent, have
refused repeatedly the request to offer
a reward for the conviction Of the
criminals.
"Strong circumstantial evidence is

Don't Know This Country.
Judge Metzgar Refuses Many Applications
for Naturalization.

Since the new Alien Labor law,
taxing foreign laborers three cents a
day, went into effect, there has been
rush OF people to Judge Metzgar's
chambers who want to be naturalized
and escape the tax. The Judge, how
ever, is not in hurry to naturalize
people who do not know anything
about the running of this government,
although they have been here a num-
Der of years, and many of them are
sent away without their papers.
Friday man appeared before the
court who did not know that his ma
tive country was kingdom. He
wasn't naturalized.
Saturday Russian, who has been
IN this country eight years, appeared
before the court for his final papers,
and when asked what form of govern
ment this is he didn't know, but said
he ''voted for the best man and didn't
want to pay three cents a day." He
afterward said this was a kingdom.
and the judge told him to 90 and
study up little.
"Here's a lot of men living here"
said the Court, land they never cared
a cent about the country until this
law went into effect, and. now they
want to save the tax by being natural
lied when they don't know a thing
about the country"
The Philadelphia and Reading Coal
and Iron Company began last Thurs
day to enforce the Alien Labor law
among their employees, and many were
sent home from work.

WHAT IS THIS DISEASE CALLED
DYSPEPSIA2

Like thief at night it steals in upon us
unawares. The patients have pains about
the chest and sides, and sometimes in the
back. They feel dull and sleepy; the mouth
has bad taste, especially in the morning
A sort of sticky slime collects about the
teeth. The appetite is poor There is feel
ing like heavy load on the stomach some
times a faint, all-gone sensation at the pit of
the stomach which food does not satisfy.
Eyes are sunken, the hands and feet become
cold and feel Clammy. After awhile a
cough sets in, at first dry, but after a few
months it is attended with greenish col
ored expeetoration. The patient feels tired
all the WHILE and sleep does not seem to
afford any rest. After a time he becomes
nervous, irritable and gloomy and has evil
forebodings. There is giddiness a sort of
whirling sensation in the head when rising
up suddenly. The bowels become costive
the skin is dry and hot at times the blood
becomes thick and stagnant the whites of
the eyes become tinged with yellow the
urine is scanty and high coloFed, depositing
sediment after standing There is fre-
quently splitting up of the food, sometimes
with sour taste and sometimes with a
aweetish taste this is frequently attended
with palpitation Of the heart; the vision be-
comes impaired with spots before the eyes
there is a feeling of great prostration and
weakness All Of these symptoms are in
turn present. It is thought that nearly one
third of our population has this disease in
some of its varied forms. II has been found
that medical men have mistaken the nature
of this disease Some have treated it for a
Liver Complaint, some for Dyspepsia others
for Kidney Disease, etc, etc, but none Of
the various kinds Of treatment have been
attended with success
Now, the Shaker Digestive Cordial causes
the food eaten to be digested This will
cause an appetite for more food, and this
being digested will result in an increase of
strength, an increase Of flesh and an increase
of nerve power.
The tired, weary feeling will give way to
yigor and courage The pale, thin and
emacated win recover their color and
plumpness, because red blood and fat are
the result Of properly digested food.

GOOD PROGRESS ON THE TARIFF



Washington, June 4-The senate
again made good progress on the tariff
bill yesterday, covering about ten
pages of the metal schedule and al
most completing it, The formal contest
against the measure was maintained,
but all amendments tending to change
the bill! as reported were voted down
and the finance committee stained.
Before the tariff bill was taken up
Senator Tiuman, of South Carolina,
gave tie senators another hour of eX-
citing controversy over the proposed
sugar investigation. He defended him
self from published charges relative to
his administration of the governorship
of South Carolina and then moved that
the committee having charge of the
sugar resolution be discharged from
further consideration of it, thus bring
ing the subject directly before the SEN
ate. There were frequent lively ex-
changes between Mr.. Tillman, Mr.. Gal
linger and Mr.. Jones (Nev), but in the
end Mr. Tillman withdrew his motion.
The house proceedings were enlivened
by single incident, the attempt of Mr.
Terry, of Arkansas, to secure consider
alton as a privileged matter of reso-
luton Tor immediate appointment of
the committee on foreign affairs, in
order, az the preliminary whereases re-
cited, TO permit action on the senate
/ Cuban belligenercy resolution. 1t was
ruled out of order, and an appeal taken
from the decision of the chair was laid
on the table by a strict party vote. Mr..
Simpson. the Populist leader, was alb
sent and several bills We're passed by
unanimous consent. The Frye bill to
prevent collisions on certain harbors,
rivers and inland waters of the United
States and the senate resolution for
the relief Of the El Paso food suf-
ferers. amended so as to make the ap-
preparation of $4,000 available out of
the unexpended balance of the ap-
preparation for the Mississippi flood
sufferers, We're passed and the confer
-ence report on the Indian appropria-
ton bill was passed.

QUEEN VICTORIA has become
greatly enfeebled. not i'm body only.
but i'm mind also; at least, such is the
report. If we remember rightly, the
jubilee will occur on the 22nd of June,
and the occasion will he one that the
English people will render memoir
able, for the Queen has a strong hold
upon the affections of her people
She has been a remarkable woman
ever since her advent to power and,
her years considered, she is still a
notable character But evidently
she has about reached the length of
her tether. and should now lay down
the sceptre she has welded so long
and so well. She can now do it gra 'e
fully, and retire with dignity. A
twelvemonth hence. or even sooner,
the infirmities of age may so pros
trate her that she viii be able to lay
aside her great honors fully consciou,

ing that viii be displayed by hei
people because of her magnanimous
surrender of her crown to her son.

MANY of the statements made by
DIR. Swallow, editor of the Pennsyl-
vania Methodist, published at Harris
burg, are doubtless made on hearsay
evidence. nevertheless one of these
exposes, referring to a Schuyllill coun
tain, demands more explicit inform
alton. and the DR.. should not be slow
in furnishing the names of the parties
referred to. Until this is done we are
somewhat reluctant to believe that
any Schuylllill county statesman
would be guilty of the fraud charged.
Here is what the Methodist editor
says "A gentleman in this city did
the work as paster and folder of two
men, one from Wayne county and
another from Schuylkill county. Each
got SO a day. These men never pre-
tended to be present, or to super
wise the work. The two paid Mr.
Holle $3.50 day. He wanted $500.
Their representative refused and
pocketed the $5.95 apiece of the
peoples money, $1O.5O day for do
ing nothing We understand that
Mr. Hoke made his bargain with Mr.
, and never met the men whose
work he was supposed to be doing
