While there is q general impression
that Americans do not go in for fox
hunting as do the Englishmen, it is by
all odds the most popular winter sport
in Pennsylvania, says the New York
Times. There are in the southeastern
counties as fine packs of hounds as can
be shown in England, though fewer in
number, and some horses that hold
their own against the best of English
importations over as stiff a country
as shat hunted by the famous Quorn
pack, of which the earl of Lonsdale is
master. At recent run $50 couples of
hounds were out and about 200 riders.
Just now there is CONSERVATION among
owners of the Pennsylvania hounds be-
cause of an outbreak of rabies in the
Strafford Hunt kennels, which has ne
cessitated the killing of the entire pack
of 25, many of them dogs imported
from noted English packs a rabid cur
bit one of the hounds few weeks ago,
and this dog, after recent run, al
tackled other occupants of the kennels.
So all were killed as q matter of safety.
There is fear that other hounds in 9TH
er packs have been bitten, and that an
outbreak of hydrophobia throughout
the hunting district may follow. All
possible precautions to prevent this dis
nster have been taken, and hounds
which have been exposed are to be iso-
lated for time.

0. R. & G, Stockholders.

The stockholders of the 0. r. & G.
Railroad held their annual meeting in
the Office of Kirkpatrick, Williams &
Bowman Tuesday evening at 2 O'Clock.
The majority of the stock was repre-
sented by Samuel Hunt, of Cincinnati,
and j. J. Collier, o. Philadelphia.
Mr.. Hunt is president of the road
and Mr., Collier is treasurer of the
Financial Company, of Philadelphia,
the moneyed end of the road.
Nothing much was done except tc
authorize the execution of mortgage
on the southern end of the road from
Marion, N. c., to Charleston, S. G.
1t is believed that this is about the
shape the company has hoped to ge
the road before starting on its compile
ton, and it is now predicted that worl
will begin at an early day.

Although all the republicans in the
House promptly lined up to vote down
Representative Dockery's very fair an
THRUST amendment to the Mckinley
tariff bill No. 2 that is being railroaded
through the House, providing that
whenever it should be shown to the
satisfaction of the president that there
existed trust or combination to con-
troll the price of any article on the duti-
able list, the duty on such articles
should be suspended, only one OF them
has had the nerve to stand up and
openly defend the trusts. Representa-
tive Walker, of Massachusetts, is the
man who was not only willing to vote
for the trusts but to talk for them. He
told the House that the great trusts re-
duced the cost of production, which
was true, but when he added that they
also reduced the prices to the consul
mer he entered the realm of friction.
He said that trusts were the natural
outcome of higher civilization, and pre-
dicted that all the railroads would
eventually be controlled by one.

II we could trace dyspepsia to its source, it
would lead back to our kitchens. In fact the
secret of good health is good cooking. II well
cooked, foods are partially digested; il poorly
cooked, they are less digestible than in their
raw state. II you are victim Of faulty cook
ing; that is II you suffer from dyspepsia, the
rational cure must be looked for in artificially
digested food, and food which will at the same
time aid the digestion OF other foods. Such a
preparation virtually rests the tired digestive
organs thereby restoring them to their natural
strength.
The Digestive Cordial, as prepared by the
Shakers OF Mount Lebanon, is just such a
preparation, and a single 10 cent bottle VII
convince you of it value. II your druggist
doesn't keep it, he will be glad to get it through
his Wholesale house.

In no business conducted by private
individuals is the government of the
United States so directly concerned as
in the soliciting of patents, When an
ignorant client gets the worst of his
dealing with an unscrupulous and
tricky patent solicitor he is apt to re-
gard the United States patent Office as
having had a share in the business
Knowing this, intelligent men in con-
gress are always on the alert to head off
when possible the tricky schemes re-
sorted to by some men who call them
selves solicitors of patents. One of
those schemes is struck at by the bill
introduced by Senator Hansbrough,
making it unlawful for any solicitor of
patents to offer an inventor premium
or prizsias an inducement to him to
pay b flee to enter his invention in a
soc Fed competition.
