CLUB WOMEN At WAR.
TWO WANT TO BE PRESIDENT
AND NEITHER WILL YIELD TO
THE OTHER.

THE OTHER.
Chester, May 3.-There promises to
be warm time at the meeting of the
New-Century Club, of this city, to-mor-
row afternoon, over the election of
officers. The club, which is composed
of the most influential women Of the
city, has been working very harmoni-
ously ever since the organization, five
years ago. The matter became public
last Thursday, when the nominating
committee made its report, naming
Mrs. j. Edwards Woodbridge for the
third term. To this there is a great
deal of opposition on the part of some
OF the members, who have held several
caucuses and threaten to put another
ticket in the field, headed by Miss Liz
zie Rice. While there is nothing in
the constitution to prevent it, the anti
WoOdbridgeites claim that a third
term would be establishing a bad pre-
cedent A poll Friday shows that 1l6
out of 225 are in favor of Miss Rice, al
though the friends of Mrs. Woodbridge
have been electioneering also.
Mrs. Woodbridge is quoted as declar-
ing that unless she is successful in the
contest she will withdraw, taking with
her all the members from Wallingford
and form new club. The outcome of
the contest is being awaited with great
interest, not only by the club members
but by the public at large, as most of
the women in the club move in high
society.

Every state in the Union, with the
exception Of Delaware, was represented
by its National Guard in the Grant me-
mortal parade. The state made no pro-
vision for such representation, and the
Guardsmen could not be expected to
pay their own expenses. 1t seems to us
that II the National Guard is not to be
properly maintained, it would be just as
we'll to disband altogether.

 The treasurer reported a better con- dition of the treasury than year ago.
 A conference of the workers employ ed by the society was called by the sec retary, Rev. Wm. H. Gilbert to meet yesterday at Willimantic, and was held in the parlors of the Methodist church. After devotional services reports were heard of the work which has been done in the interval since the last meeting held in April at Hartford. Mr. Sam uel w. Raymond, who has just com pleted his work in one of the towns, making thorough religious canvas, and holding evangelistic meetings, gave a most interesting account of the spiritual development of the work from cold, critical condition to that of pro- found interest and participation with melting confessions, complete surren- ders and conversions of many souls and additions to the church.
 Miss Winifred Eddy reported from her recent visitation and spoke of the difficulties confronting her in the indif- ference and prejudice against the churches and suspicion of special relig- ious meetings and of the importance and success of personal application of the gospel in the homes. She referred to the way she met some most hope less cases and the victory of the spirit in overcoming prejudice, stilling scof- fers, convincing the skepitcs, convert ing wives and transforming brutal husbands and purifying the home. Mrs. c. J. Reed related also some re- markable instances of the power of the Holy Spirit, proving what sanctif1ed tact and Christly love will do in making new creations in Christ Jesus

 Rev H. L. Hutchins spoke of the way of approaching souls and emphasized the simple gospel method of avoiding discussions on which membership and pressing the command of Him who alone is our life and light.

LIVER cLoGGIMG.
When Your Stomach Clogs your Liver
 See to Your Digestion.

Not one person in a thousand knows that the cause of biliousness Is the clogging of the liver by the poisons of indigestion. Nor that the only proper cure for it is tonic to aid the stom- ach. But modern medicine declares the truth of it. And the Shakers have proved it by the wonderful suc- cess of their Shaker Digestive Cordial.
 One of the most important uses of the liver is to arrest and destroy all poisons which try to find their way into the blood. When it's clogged, it can't do this.
 Undigested food ferments and pu- trefies in the stomach and the poisons of putrefaction clog and paralyze the liver after which they find their way into the blood.
 Here is the true explanation of all the distressing disorders and compli- cations caused by indigestion.
 Shaker Digestive Cordial is the only tonic cordial which aids the stomach in a natural way to digest its, food. By this means, it cures indigestion, re- stores the liver, and frees the body from poison and disease.
 Headache, dizziness, neuralgia, men, tai depression, weakness, bad taste, fe- yer, flatulence, constipation, loss of ap- petite, anaemia, rheumatism, and many other disorders are relieved and cured by Shaker Digestive Cordial.

 The gorgeous uniforms and splendid horses of the escort of the princes, who rode by threes, made this part of the show the feature of the entire process sion. At their head were the Marquis of Lorne, son-in-laW of the queen, and the duke of Fife, son-in-law, in a dark blue uniform, and the latter was dress ed in a red uniform. They were both covered with orders, While behind them was every conceivable variety of bril- liancy, from Mohammed Ali Khan, the Egyptian representative, in dark frock coat and fez, to the Austrian Archduke Francis Ferdinand, in gorgeous hus- sar's uniform, The duke of York rode towards the rear of the escort, wearing a naval uniform and the order of the garter, while his children, on the main balcony of the palace, waved their hands to him. By the side of the duke of York were the crown prince of Siam and Prince Waldemar of Denmark. Then came Prince Henry of Prussia, Prince Albert of Prussia, and Grand Duke Sergius of Russia. The crown prince of Naples, the Austrian arch duke, and the grand duke of Hesse were the last members of the princes $ escort.

 blue morocco beneath, glittering every where with the royal arms, the lion, the unicorn, the crown in gold.
 The carriage in which the queen rode
 now came abreast. It was what is
 known as NO. plain posting landau" a carriage with light running body, built about a quarter of a century ago, and of which her majesty is known to be very fond. The body was dark claret color, lined with vermillion, the
 mouldings oatlined with beads of
 brass. Brass bead decorated the rum
 ble; the body loops and lamp irons were
 gilt The wheels and under works were vermillion, with heavy lines of gold Beside the queen rode the Princess of Wales, and opposite her the Princess Christian. On the left rode the Duke of Cambridge, on the right the Prince of Wales, who was followed by the
 Duke of Connaught, the general officer commanding.
