played at Rlverton on Saturday, and Cam
den won. To be sure the margin was
very slight, and Camden had to call in
nearly all It's team of 1895, had to get the
professional Gsrrigues, and the prospec-

Geiger, but it won just the same, and is
entitled to the championship Of South
Jersey for 1897.
The day was mean, one and the game
was played in a heavy downpour of rain.
The grounds, however, were not in as bad
condition as might have been expected.
The first half was stubbornly contest
ed, and when time was called neither
side had scored. In the second half,
Camden, by a neat play, secured touch
down, but was unable to kick goal and
the game ended with that score to O..

There are undoubtedly times and sea-
sons, in New York City, when the Re
publican newspaper is sadly puzzled as to
duty. The issues of local politics in that
city are intricate and battling and every
campaign in recent years has manu-
featured a fresh crop of independent
voters, out of the raw material of pre-
viously thiek-and-thIn supporters of party
machines. 1t is interesting to note that
IN the late campaign for the Mayoralty of
New York, The NeC York Tribune re-
NAMED staunchly Republican in princi-
pie, by adhering to the expressed will of
the party of the State as announced in the
new State Constitution and IN various
party platforms. The Tribune is a stall
wart Republican paper, and one of the
best opponents of Republican doctrine in
the country. Its annual Prospectus, in
another column, is commended TO the at
tention of our readers. Within the past
year The Tribune has changed land for
the BETTER the pictorial supplement,
which is issued with the Friday
edition of its Semi Weekly. The
present supplement is much more digni-
fed, and is thoroughly worthy of The
Tribune and wonderfully valuable addi-
ton to the attractions of the paper The
Tribune, albeit thoroughly omplete
newspaper, always commands respect, be-
cause of its refusal to yield any part of its
space to vulgar scandal and sensation.

According to a celebrated anatomlst
there are upwards of 5000, 600 little glands
in the human stomach. These glands
pour out the digestive juices which dis
solve or digest the food. Indigestion is
want of juice, weakness of glands, need Of
help to restore the health of these organs.
The best and most natural help is that
given by Shaker Digestive Cordial. Nat
ural, because it supplies the materials
needed by the glands to prepare the di-
gestive juices. Because it strengthens
and invigorates the glands and the stom-
ach, until they are able to do their work
alone. Shaker Digestive Cordial cures in
digestion certainly and permanently. 1t
does 80 by natural means, and therein
lies the secret Of its wonderful and un-
