With Digestion Perfect.

"My mother was subject to sick head
aches and indigestion for over a year.
She was unable to stand for any length
of time, and was obliged to stay in dark
room as she could not bear the light. She
had no appetite whatever and her stomach
was so weak she could not retain what
food she did eat. She also had severe
pains in her head. She suffered 30 much
that she became but the shadow of her.
self. One day happened to read tes-
timonial about Hoods Sarsaparills. It
Sounded So Truthful
/ persuaded her to try this medicine.
Before finishing the first bottle there was
an improvement in her condition. She no
longer threw up her food and her head
ache was not as severe. She took in all
four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla and
several boxes of Hoods Pills and regained
her weight. She is now enjoying the best
of health. Her digestion is good and she
can eat almost anything she wishes. She
is az years old and says she feels as we'll

SUNDAY SCHOOL INSTITUTE.
Professor Halniis Talk to Teachers In
Grace Sunday School.

A Sunday School Institute was held in
Grace Sunday School yesterday afternoon
and evening by Professor H. NJ. Hamil of
Jacksonville, Florida, field worker Ct the
International Sunday School Association.
In the afternoon Mr.. Hamil spoke on
SUNDAY School Methods" In which he
outlined plans to improve the Sunday
School and to secure better results. In
the evening he spoke on "Bible Study and
Tcaching." He said a triple problem
comes before every teacher in the Sunday
School. The first is in the Bible, the sec.
ond is in the art of teaching, and the third
is in the scholars The aim of the Sunday
Schools is to convert the boys and the
girls, and to set them right upon oil ques-
tons.
Tho speaker said he did not think many
persons were natural teachers. Tho great
mass get to be teachers by dint of hard
work. Teaching can bo acquired. The
teacher should have cooperation. not only
cooperation with the subject matrer-the
Bible-but with the boys and girls in the
class. No teacher can teach better than
of the preparation made nor can any pas
tor preach better than his thoughts. 10
receive corporation of teachers and
scholars, Professor Hamil said the teacher
should have no more scholars in his class
than he can hear, or that can hear him.
Out of sentiment or vanity, some teachers
surround themselves with throngs of pu-
pills. Tho speaker illustrated several bad
results following the grouping OF largo
classes.
Tho teacher, also the superintendent.
should use plain English words that could
be understood by the scholars. The aver.
age vocabulary of the public speaker, Pro-
fessor Hamil said. is about 5000 words,
while the Sunday school scholar of from
l2 to Is years. has about 500 words at his
command. Moreover, the teachers and
school superintendents should know the
Bible, so as to present its truths to the
scholars without the use Of text books and
lesson leaves. The teacher should believe
the Bible and should fix the habit of read
ing it regularly, and pursue the course of
literal instruction of the different pas
sages. Several other points in the Sun.
day school work were made by tho speak

THE NEW ENGLAND STRIKERS.

Prospects Not Good For Speedy Set
tlement of Labor Troubles.
Boston, Jan. 26.-With increasing dis
content and unrest among the oper-
atiyes at Fall River, with increasing
privations among the strikers and the
increase in calls for CITY aid at New
Bedford. and the announcement of 5
per cent semi-annual dividend in the
Pepperell mills and per cent semi
annual dividend at the LacOnia mills.
both at Biddeford, where there are
strikes. the prospects are far from good
for a settlement of the labor troubles
In New England this week.
The new turn Of affairs yesterday
was in Rhode Island, at the Centrevile
cotton mill. where new strike was re-
ported by 126 weavers quitting work on
the claim that their cut averaged 16
per cent. 1t was also announced that
a bill would be introduced in the gen.
eral assembly to investigate the tex
tile conditions in that state. In Maine
all was quiet.
In New Bedford an unsupported ru-
NOR was current that one mill would
break its agreement and restore the old
wage scale. When the wcavers' exec
utive committee met in that CITY the
fine issue was not considered, showing
that the strikers are not inclined to
compromise on any point. The strike
aid promised seems quite substantial,
judging from reports given out.
The interest of citizens at large to
end the strike in New Bedford by ask
ing the mill ill-managements to take down
their notices and curtal production has
been rebuked by positive refusal.

The break to McComas came as the
result of Monday nights caucus, at
which SO members were in attendance,
and at which Judge McComas was prac-
tically unanimously nominated. Ten
Republican delegates from Baltimore
city. and Senator Westcott. of Kent
county, however. refused to take any
part in the caucus or to consider them
selves bound by it, and up to the hour
of noon yesterday. when the balloting
was resumed no one not in their coun-
sells knew how they meant to vote, but
1t was generally thought they would
stick TO Shaw to the end, thereby Gre
ating deadlock.
1t was, therefore, with the most in
tense interest that the balloting was
watched by the big crowd that jammed
the assembly hall and packed the cor
ridors and lobby, and when the name
of Senator Westcott was reached and
he after a brief speech changed his
vote from Shaw to McComas every one
knew the end was near. and the cheer
ing was tremendous.
Speaker Shaefer, whose name heads
the list of delegates in the roll call, was
the next of the recalcitrants to come
in line, which he did in a graceful
speech, cheerfully accepting the sltua-
tion. Then one by one five of his asso-
ciates in the now famous "bolt" against

example. EX-Congressman F'indlay's

PRESIDENT DOLE IN WASHINGTON
Met at Station by Secretary sherman
and Assistant Secretary Adce.

Met at Station by Secretary sherman
and Assistant Secretary Adee.
Washington. Jan. 2G.-Prcsdent Dole,
of Hawaii arrived In Washington to-
day. AS there was no military display
on his entry to the city, the presence of
President Mckinley was not required
according to diplomatic precedents.
Secretary of State Sherman, accom-
panied by Assistant Secretary Adee,
met President Dole's train at the Bal
timore and Ohio depot at 11:50 Ac-
companied by an escort of mounted
police, the party proceeded at once to
the Arlington hotel, where President
Dole was assigned to what Is known as
the royal suite" which has been oc-
cupied by many notables. These rooms
have been especially decorated by the
government florists, and are arranged
with every view to the convenience of
Hawaii's executive.
AS soon as the party was installed at
the hotel Secretary Sherman and Mr..
Adee left them, and they received
call from Secretary Porter and Colonel
Bingham, who inquired at what hour
II would be convenient for President
Dole to receive a call from President
Mckinley. Owing to the fact that
PreTdent Mckinley did not meet his
guest at the depot, it is in order for
him to pay the first formal visit. 1t Is
believed this formal visit will be paid
this evening.

were under the impression that the new
rules would curtuil their liberties, but
found that under these new regulations q
builder can occupy as much of tho street
as he has in tho past the only difference
b ing that the department provides u
penalty for builders who fail to comply
with tho rules. There was formerly no
penalty and for that reason builders did
not live up to tho law The object of tho

naive or badly informed as to imagine
that the presence Of American war ves-
