Trade Is Quiet.

New York, April 16.-Bradstreet's
says:
THE effect of the prevailing uncertainty
in foreign affairs is reflected in a further
perceptible quieting down of general trade
so far as future engagements are con-
cerned, in nearly all parts of the country
While there is little more activity to be
noted in the demand for seasonable sta pies
at the west and northwest, where better
weather has helped retail and wholesale
trade alike, rather more quiet is reported
at the east and at the South Atlantic and
gulf ports The least notable effects yet
exhibited are found in the central west,
where distributive demand and movement
is reported of seasonable character, the
only changes noted. in fact, being the
strengthening of money rates and the dis
couragement of new enterprises, such as
railroad building. In the iron trade BUSH
ness continues of large volume. Wool con-
tinues dull, at nominal prices, at the east,
and the activity in dry goods is confined
chiefly to goods needed at once. Cotton
goods prices are steady, except for print
cloths. Low-price woolens continue in
most active demand"

THE HOUSE FOR WAR.
Passes Resolution by Vote of 500 to
10 Demanding Immediate In
PREVENTION in Cuba.

Washington, April 1.-THE house of
representatives Wednesday, after one
of the most exciting and memorable
days in it's history, by vote of 322 to
10, adopted a resolution which nine
tenths of its members believe makes
war with Spain inevitable. 1t is fact
which was grimly commented upon by
members as they spoke of the future,
that every war in which the United
States has engaged began in April, and
that Wednesday was the anniversary of
the fall of Fort Sumter, which aroused
the patriotic fervor of the north and
made the four years of civil strife a GER
tainty.
At 1880 p. m. the majority of the
house committee on foreign affairs
agreed to the following resolution,
which was reported to the house
Wednesday afternoon:
Whereas, That the government of Spain
for three years past has been waging war
IN the island of Cuba against a revolu-
ton of the inhabitants thereof, without
making any substantial progress toward
the suppression of said revolution. and
has conducted the warfare in a man
ner contrary to the iawS of nations by
methods inhuman and uncivilized, causing
the death by starvation Of more than
100000 innocent non-combatants, the vic
Tins being for the most part helpless wom-
en- and children, inficting intolerable in
jury to the commercial interests of the
United States, involving the destruction
of the lives and property of many of our
citizens, entaLing the expenditure OF mill
lions of dollars in patrolling our coasts and
policing the high seas in order to maintain
our neutrality, and

A Nurses Experience.
Shed rather have one than three.

There are thousands OF people suffering
from blood poisoning who have almost
beggared themselves in buying medicines
from which they have obtained no help.
There are thousands of others who first or
last have tried DR.. Ayers Sarsapariila and
found perfect healing. one of these
others, Mrs. A. i. Taylor, of Englevaie,
N. Oak. relates the following experience:
"About two years ago, nursed a lady
who was suffering and finally died) from
blood poisoning. I must have contracted
the disease from her; for shortly after her
death, had four large sores or ulcers,
break out on my person. I doctored for a
long time, both by external application
and with various blood medicines; but, in
spite of all that could do, the sores would
not heal They were obstinate very pain
full, annoying, and only getting worse all
the time. At last, purchased six bottles
OF Dr.Ayer's Sarsaparilla, thinking would
give II thorough trial. Before the first
bottle was taken, noticed decided i'm
provement in my general health; my APP
petite was quickened, and ! felt better
and stronger than had for some time.
While using the second bottle, l noticed
that the sores had begun to look healthier

cured the votes of three republicans.

THE CAUSE OF DYSPEPSIA.
From the Republican, Scranton, Pa.

The primary cause of dyspepsia is lack of
vitality; the absence of nerve force; the loss
OF the DEMONSTRATING elements of the blood.
No organ can properly perform its func-
ton when the source of nutriment fails.
When the stomach is robbed of the noursh-
ment demanded by nature, assimilation
ceases, unnatural gases are generated; the
entire systm responds to the discord.
A practical illustration of the symptoms
and torture of dyspepsia is furnished by the
case of Joseph L. Vandyke, 44O Hickory St.,
Scranton, Pa.

Hausman and George Col let, the well known local wheelmen, at Manchester Saturday, both are laid up and will be compelled to quit riding, for a few days at least.

His face was somewhat bruised and cut and his wheel smashed. Hausman, who was riding directly back of Collett, was un- able to turn aside and ran directly onto the broken wheel. The force of the col lision threw him about twelve feet into lilt all hId WiltIi llS SchtliC uO"lA lAC ANli fairly on his face and slid along the ground. He was quickly picked up by friends and was unconscious. An ex- animation showed a severe abrasion of the skin on the forehead and left side of the face, while the eye was some what blackened and the cheek and chin bruised. The bone in the nose was broken and several stitches were taken by a doctor to sew up the wound. His wrist, hip and right side were bruised and there was a slight strain in the groin.
 Hausman was unconscious for severa hours and was unable to return home until last night. He is getting along nicely, but it will be several days be- fore he can ride again. He has beer unable to eat anything since the acci' dent. The wheel was not injured.
