GLADsToNE's LETTER.

striking passages in Mr. Gladstone's let

MORE FUN
To Be Well Than All the Rest of the
Fun on Earth.

Some physicians say that all nerv-
Gus disorders arise from a disordered
stomach, and that even the peculiar
diseases of females are directly trace
able to an unbalanced nervous system
caused by stomach troubles.
The stomach may be suffering, but
will not show it there; frequently the
distress will be telegraphed over the
nerves to the head, eyes, back or alb
domen.
Medicines are not 50 much needed as
good common sense in eating and
drinking. Coffee is one of the most pro-
life causes of trouble with the stOm-
ach, principally because people continue
to use it when they are feeling bad, not
knowing that the poisonous alkaloids of
coffee directly check digestion and at
tack the liver.
A dismissal of coffee for a week or
ten days will show many sufferers the
cause of their troubles, and while they
won't get well in that time, the i'm
provement in health will open their
eyes. Postum, the health coffee, made
at Battle Creek, Mich, can be used by
those who are troubled with coffee, and
it agrees perfectly with the weakest
stomach, while the pure food elements
of the grains of which it is made will
nourish and fatten the body. Return

SHIP FOR M'KINLEY.
A Louisiana Republican Makes the
President q PRESENT

Washington, March 19.--Al1 sorts of
presents are pouring into the White
House from every part of the United
States, the latest addition to the muse
UNI which is about to be established
being reported today.
Secretary Porter received a communi-
cation marked confidential, which ~
Quested him to call at a private resi-
dence in the northern part of Washing
ton and inspect something which was
intended for the president. Upon
reaching the house indicated by his
correspondent Mr.. Porter was shown
into a room in which the present was
concealed beneath a heavy canvas COW
ering. When this covering was re-
moved a model of a steam launch was
revealed, and the statement was made
that the offering came from a proInl-
nent Republican politician of Louisi-

CHICAGO HAS A GRIEVANCE
Like New York She is Complaining Of
Discrimination in Freight Rate

Chicago, March 19.-The board of adj
miuistration of the Western Freight
association was in session yesterday
listening to Complaints of Chicago ship
pers that they are Disseminated against
in favor of St. Louis by the present
system of constituting rates. The
transportation committee of the Chi
cago board of trade is applicant in the
matter The complaint is based on
the fact that rates from transmissis-
sippi points to points in the east via
ST Louis and other Mississippi river
gateways are from II to cents lower
than those from Chicago.
The sympathy of exclusively Chicago
roads are all with the applicants for
revision and equalization of rates and
it is said that their influence will be
thrown that way. The trouble all
arises from making the Mississippi
river the basing line on which to con-
struct through rates. Chicago roads
want Chicago made the basing point.
The controversy is not likely to be
settled today, but will be taken under
advisement by the board of admins
tration. Should the decision be against
them it is said to be the intention of
the Chicago shippers to appeal to the
interstate commerce commission.

carriage while being driven fromWash-
ington to his home in this city.

legation in Washington.

Ying begged to be brought back to die

a carriage. A hackman agreed to drive
the 40 miles for $25.
At Bladensburg, just five miles out of
Washington, the driver found his pas

London. March 1e.-The Athens CORES
pondent of the Daily Chronicle declares
that Greece has set her back against the
wall and is prepared for the worst. The
Chronicle correspondent, who is Mr..
Henry Norman, says this opinion sums
up the result of his visit to the frontier,
and then adds: 1.-The Greek fleet, which
L visited yesterday and whose where
abouts are unknown to the foreign le-

pedo boats off one of the northern is
lands. 1 should advise the German war
ship ka1serin Augusta to avoid this fleet.
which is eagerly awaiting her.
Popular opinion on Greece, says the
Times correspondent at Athens fmpera-
lively demands an early declaration of
war with Turkey. The idea is that Eu-
rope would then be compelled to adopt
neutral attitude.
1t is suggested that as the conditions in
crete do not give sufficient pretext for
declaration of war more valid excuse
can be found in the refusal of Turkey to
coheeoe 70 Greece the territory assigned
to her at the Berlin conference. The
boundary line, as specified in the Berlin
treaty, started at the mouth of the Ka1a-
mo river, opposite the island of Corenu:
and this would have included in Grecian
territory Janina and the town ofMeezoVo.
But the powers failed to enforce the
decision of the conference and Greece,
despite her protest. was obliged to accept
the present frontier under the convention
ratified at Constantinople in August, 1881
1t must be admitted. says the Times cor
respondent, that Greece has legitimate
grounds of complaint against the great
powers of Turkey and it is thought by
good Judges of Greek policy at Athens
that if the boundary fixed by the confer
ence were conceded Greece would willing
ly abandon her pretentions in Crete. At
present. however. the powers do not seem
in mood to negotiate The Greek vice
consuls at Retimo and Gambia have in
formed the government that the telegraph
offices refuse to transmit their cipher
dispatches to the government deliver
kilograms sent by the government. What
ever justification there may be for this
step of censorship of press kilograms
which, it is reported, the admirals have
consented to take at Gambia, it is an Omi-
nous retrograde accompaniment to the
proclamation of autonomy. 1t is an
nounced from a Greek source that Lord
Salisbury has suggested to the powers
that each should contribute 10, 900 pounds
towards the expense of establishing au
tonouy in Crete.

THE WAR IN CUBA.
General Gomez Anxious to Enter
Upon a Vigorous Campaign.

NEW YORK, July 21.-Thomas Es-
trad Palma, President of the Cuban
Junta, has received a letter dated July
4th from General Maxine Gomez, in
which the General says:
lit is possible to make this summers
campaign as active and aggressive as
possible. To carry out plans success
fully, we will need rather than any
thing else steady supply of ammuni-
ton. For that we depend on the sup
port of patriotic Cubans and friends
abroad. The recent landing of several
expeditions in different sections of
Cuba has enabled our men to engage
the Spanish troops with satisfactory
results. The remarkably large num-
Der of disabled soldiers entering the
Spanish hospitals in the last two weeks
is the most emphatic proof of our ac-
tivity. | have received a half million
rounds of ammunition from the last ex
petition landed in Camaguey. 1t was
conveyed across the Jucaro- Moron
trocha by Colonel Dimas Zamora, with
300 men. The passage of the trocha by
Colonel Zamora's force shows that the
barrier defended by $4,000 Spanish sol
diers is no obstacle to our movements.
This last supply of ammunition enabled
our forces, under Major General Ca
brillo, to move westward"

BRITISH IRE AROUSED.
German War Officials Liberate Car.
rier Pigeons on English Soil.

LONDON, July 21.-There is intense
ill-feeling here over the action of the
German War Office in sending 1000
carrier pigeons to Dover with the OBJ
ject of testing their capabilities of
reaching Dusseldorf, Rhenish Prussia.
about twenty miles north of Cologne,
on the right bank of the Rhine.
The German official at Dover who
liberated the birds heard of their ar
rival six hours afterward. The Incl
dent led to a question in the House
of Commons last evening.
The Hon. st. John Broderick, Under
Secretary of War, replying, said the
matter was under consideration; add
ing that Germany would scarcely toll
crate a similar trial of British pigeons.
The comments of the press on the
subject are heated, one paper suggest
ing that the next pigeons sent from
Germany should be thrown into the
sea and the German official accom-
panying them thrown after them. One
hundred of the liberated birds belong
to the Kaiser.
