WINTER SEA SHORE RESORTS.
Direct Line via Philadelphia & Reading
Route.

Some few years ago whenever winter
health resorts were mentioned, every ones
mind turned at once to places in the southern
states, but that idea is now obsolete. At
antic City, well known as the greatest of
summer sea shore resorts, has for somesyears
been steadily increasing its winter popula-
ton and now claims to be the ideal all-the-
year resort, Its position ON the southern

ing the full benefit of the sun; the balmy

Cape May, one of the oldest, and, "befo'
the wah" the great fashionable resort has
since the entrance of the opposition road,
now portion of the Philadelphia & Reading
Route, awakened from its long slumber and is
rapidly forging to the front. With the ad-
vantage OF being further south, up-to-date
hotels equipped with all the latest approved
| appliances of steam and electricity and ad

to ere long rival its sister city as a winter
resort.
Both above cities are on the Atlantic City

THE FEDERATION OF LABOR.


a Full Attendance of Delegates at the
Kansas city Convention.
Kansas City, Dec. 12.-The annual
convention of the American Federation
of Labor was called to order at 8 O'Clock
this morning. There is a full attend
ance of delegates from all parts of ths
country, and an important meeting is
looked for by the leaders. Sunday was
spent In informal conferences and in
greeting the late arrivals, Samuel
Gompers was the life of all groups.
The so-called fight on GOmpers' re-
election has not yet developed. On the
surface there appears no material op-
position to him,
Mr.. Gompers refuses to discuss his re-
election. "Fhat rests with the party o,
the second part" he said to reporter.
"If I am elected I want to enter upon
my duties untrammeled by pledges, so
that I may do for my chosen people
what ] think the interests OF labor de-
mand."
Mr.. Gompers refused to say what the
probable action of the convention will
he in regard to the socialist pronun-
ciamento, which some delegates will
demand, or what will be the outcome
of the fight in the convention for the
endorsement of free silver.
"In the past we have defeated the
socialists" he said, "and In the past
likewise We have. come out for silver
But since the latter has been mad,
a political issue the action of the con
vention this year may be different"

A POPULAR MISTAKE
Regarding Remedies for Dyspepsia and
Indigestion.

The national disease of Americans is iu-
digestion or in its chronic form, dyspepsia,
aud for the very reason that it is so common
many people neglect taking proper treatment
for what they consider trifling stomach
trouble, when rs a matter of fact indigestion
lays the foundation for many incuable dis
eases. No person with "A vigorous, healthy
stomach will fall victim to consumption
Many kidney diseases and heart troubles
date their beginning from poor digestion /;
thin, nervous people are really so because
their stomachs are out of gear; weary,
languid, faded out women owe their condi-
tion to imperfect indigestion.
When nearly every person you meet is
afflicted with weak digestion it is not sur
prising that nearly every secret patent
medicine on the market claims to be cure
for dyspepsia, as well as a score of other
troubles, when in fact, as DR.. Werthier says,
there is but one genuine dyspepsia cure which
is perfectly safe and reliable, aud moreover,
this remedy is not IA patent medicine but it is
a scientific combination of pure pepsin free
from animal matteT) vegetable essences

and these tablets will digest it. A cure re-
suits, because all the stomach needs is rest.
