According to a celebrated anato-
mist there are upwards of 5000, 900
little glands in the human stomach.
These glands pour out the digestive
juices which dissolve 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 NEST natural help is
given by Shaker Digestive Cordial.
Natural, because it supplies the ma.
terials needed by the glands to pre-
pare the digestive juices. Because it
strengthens and invigorates the glands
and the stomach, until they are able
to do their work alone. Shaker Di-
gestive Cordial cures indigestion GER

ALWAYS ON TIME.

As record-breaker the Philadel-
phia & Reading Railways "sixty- min
ute train" to Atlantic City has been a
wonderful success. The demand made
by Philadelphia business men for quick
trains to their summer homes after
business hours led the Reading to put
on the train this season, and the action
has been fully justified. The flyer has
been very popular, and has daily car
ried more passengers than any other
one train on the road. Frequently it
has been found necessary to add an
extra coach, but even this additional
weight has not caused the lessening
Of the speed.
The train is scheduled to start at
$40 D. m., and to reach the city by the
sea just one hour later. Its trips have
been carefully watched, not only by
the Reading officials, but by its pa
irons as well. During the entire
month Of July it was never so much
as a second late. Even on the days
when travel was unusually heavy the
long string of coaches started exactly
on time, kept up the flying speed all
the way across New Jersey and rolled
into the depot at Atlantic City on the
second. Among railroad men this is
considered a remarkable record, and
one, if ever, equaled and never ex-
celled.-Buffalo Courier Record, Aug.

anu uof OuB hours every day. They
are treated In the most cruel and In
human manner by their keepers, and OF
course nearly all the convicts sent to
that colony are Of the most desperate
and hardened class. 1t Ia to this
dreadful and dreading place that
young. beautiful and accomplished Gu
ban lady, the near relative of the Pres
ident OF the Republic, has, It Ia be-
neved, been sentenced. or is about to
be sentenced, by one OF weyler's pe-
culiar courts, where there Is no op-
portunity ever given for defense, and
where the demands OF the prosecuting
officer are almost Invariably made the
judgment of the court.
AS nearly as can be ascertained
at the time OF this writing, Evangelina
Cossio Cisneros. on account OF her
beauty was desired as the mistress OF
one OF Weyler's prominent officers who
was himself a relative OF the Premier.
The officer attempted to enter the bed
chamber OF the beautiful Cuban, and
her cries for help brought TO her rescue
strong men who punished the proud
Spanish officer. II was then that the
charge was made against Evangelina.
that she had lured the officer to her
home. and while he was there had
sought 20 have him seized and assas-
sinated. This charge was. of course,
made to relieve the officer from the
difficulty into which he had gotten
himself. The young lady was arrested
and thrown into a prison in Havana
where she was compelled to associate
with the most degraded women OF the
tOwn nd fnr hn
fined In this prison before given any
trial at all. At the trial which has
just taken place, she was given no op-
portunIty to present her defence, and
to-day stands in the shadow of this
awful sentence demanded by the prose-
cutting officer.
In her behalf the sympathies and the
active efforts of the noblest women in
America have been promptly enlisted.
and hundreds of cablegrams have been
sent to the Queen Regent of Spain i'm
ploring her to intercede Here are
some Of these appeals:
