is purely vegetable, acts by giving tone to
the nerve centers in the stomach, gently
stimulates the liver and kidneys, and
aids these organs in throwing off impuri-
ties in the blood. Electric Bitters i'm
proves the appetite, aids Indigestion, and
is pronounced by those who have tried
it as the very best Flood purifier and
nerve tonic. Try it.. Sold for SOC and

So long rs it is impossible to tell where
the thunder bolt will fall in the event of
the Ohio legislatures accomplishing any
things serious in the investi gation of the
bribery charges, it is not wonderful that
all concerned should display such dense
ignorance of the matter. An oyster would
be an orator compared to the retcence of
some of the principal witnesses in this
case. They know full well that the safest
course for all hands is for them to keep
their mouths shut, and the extent of
their d-mbness would make mute asy-
lum wonder.

Newport News ought to be happy above

With plenty of work on hand in the dock

ance of work for some time to come in the
way of overhauling and repairing, she
has just had added tc her good luck the
news that Mr.. Huntingdon intends to
build there the largest and best equip.
ped dry dock in American waters. The
new year for Newport News has indeed
opened most auspiciohsly and we con.
graduate her most heartily.

CHINESE PARTITION SOONER OR

The situation on the Chinese coast that

Chau has continued Ia hold the foremost
place in the attention of the world. No

of Chinese partition is to begin at once.
In due time, however, the Chinese en-
pire bids fair to go to pieces. We have
been accustomed in times past to think
of the Chinese as several hundred mil
ions of perfectly homogeneous people.
AS matter of fact, although they be-
long TO the great yellow division of the
human race. the diversities of type in
the different parts of Cbinu are greater
than the di,erstie among white men
of Enrope, and there is less connection
and by far less sympathy amonL them
than among the dis-ordant population

cDngtc merate that we know as tie Aus
tro- hungarian empire. There is an i'm.
mense range Of dialects in China, and it
often happens that the people Of one
neighborhood cannot tai: with those who
live in another four or five miles away.
There is no such thing in China as per.
vasive national feeling or an i'm peral
patriotism. Tie various provincial gov

CORNELL READY FOR pENNsY
with Few Exceptions Ithacans Are
in Good Condition.

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 22.-The Cornell
football squad, numbering twenty-nine
men. arrived at Broad Street station at
nine O'Clock this morning from Ithaca
and left for Wayne, where the team will
put IN its time until Thanksgiving Day,
when it will meet Pennsylvania for their
annual football game.
With few exceptions, the players are
in good condition. Coach Warner is a
little anxious about Captain Whiting, who
is walking around with two loose ribs.
If he cannot last through the game,
either VIII or Windsor will have to fill
his place. The other doubtful position is
that of fullback. Cornell has two good
men in Starbnck and Perkins, and it is
believed that both will be given a chance
to show their worth during the game.
Starbuck will probably play the first half.
The remainder of the men are in good
condition.
