Conscience as a New Religion.

Bishop Thomas Grace invited to ex-
press himself regarding it.
Eds. Record Union: Cardinal
James Gibbons has delivered in the
old Baltimore Cathedral a very I'M
usual sermon on Conscience" In
part, he said:
What is the greatest need Of our
times? Is it churches? They are
necessary for the dissemination of
Christian truth. Is it schools? They
are most important, indeed, for they
mean an ability to earn a living to the
individual. Is it hospitals or asylums?
They are necessary and most useful in
the alienation OF the sick But none
Of these is the most important neces-
sity Of the age. What the times need
is sturdy manhood, which will be per-
sistent in the carrying out Of the die
tates of conscience in social, political
and religious life. The times need men
who viii follow their conscience rather
than expediency, principles rather
than popularity The man
who follows his conscience has but one
master, God, and he will enjoy the lib-
erty and glory of the kingdom of God"
The quotations from Cardinal Glib
bons have been widely published In
leading papers, and many persons,
both in and out OF the churches, have

INTENSE SUFFERING
From Dyspepsia and Stomach
Trouble
Instantly Relieved and Perma-
nently Cured by Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tia blets.
A New Discovery, But Not a Patent
Medicine.

| DR.. Redwell relates an interesting &C.
count Of what he considers a remark
able cure Of acute stomach trouble and
chronic dyspepsia by the use of the
new discovery, Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
| He says: The patient was a man
who had suffered to my knowledge for
years with dyspepsia. Everything he
ate seemed to sour and create acid and
gases in the stomach; he had pains like
rheumatism in the back, shoulder
blades and limbs, fullness and distress
after eating, poor appetite and loss OF
flesh; the heart became affected, caus-
ing palpitation and sleeplessness at
night
I gave him powerful nerve tonics and
blood remedies, but to no purpose. AS
an experiment I finally bought a fifty
cent package Of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at a drug store and gave them
to him. Almost immediate relief was
given and after he had used four boxes
he was to all appearances fully cured.
There was no more acidity or sour
watery risings, no bloating after meals,
the appetite was vigorous and he has
gained between 10 and II pounds in
weight of solid, healthy flesh
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are advertised and sold in drug stores
yet I consider them a most valuable
addition to any physicians line of rem
edies, as they are perfectly harmless
and can be given to children or invalids
or in any condition of the stomach with
perfect safety, being harmless and
containing nothing but vegetable and
fruit essences, pure pepsin and Golden
Seal.
Without any question they are the
safest, most effective cure for inGiges-
ton, bliousness, constipation ard all
arrangements of the stomach however
slight or severe
Stuat's Dyspepsia Tablets are made
by the Stuart Co. of Marshall, Mich,
and sold by druggists everywhere at
fifty cents per package.

A MOST MALICIOUS CANARD.
INTENDED TO INJURE A RE-
SPONSIBLE FIRM.
Absurd Story That the Breuner
Establishment Was in FL
nanciaI Trouble.

For several days past rumors have
| been whispered about to the effect that
the John Breuner establishment was in
| financial straits and that a receiver
was in charge of the business. Yester-
day customer called at the store &c
settle his account, and told Mr.. Breu-
ner that man claiming to be a collec-
tor for the house had called at mis-
place and left a request for him to set
tie, as Mr.. Breuner was financially dis
| tressed and needed the money. He
had accordingly FASTENED to comply.
| Learning of a similar incident in an
other quarter, a Record Union re-
porter was detailed to call on Mr.
Breuner for a statement regarding
these rumors. The latter replied that
he had decided to pay no attention to
the stories, which had doubtless been
started through malice, but last even
ing he sent in the following note for
| publication:
| Eds. Record Union, Sacramento
Gentlemen: Regarding the rumor that
this firm is in financial difficulties, and
that a receiver is in charge, will say
that the story is made out of whole
cloth, and is absolutely false in every
| particular We cannot imagine who
could have an object in starting such
malicious story. Yours truly,
JOHN BREUNER"
In the meantime the Record Union"
had interviewed c. E. Durham, as
sistant cashier Of the California State
Bank, through which Mr.. Breuner con-
| ducts his money transactions.
Mr.. Burnham unhesitatingly said
that rumors to the effect that a re-
ceiver was in possession at the estab-
Hshment Of John Breuner had several
times recently come to his notice, and
| even as late as yesterday his atten-
| ton had been drawn to such reports.
The officers of the bank in which he is
employed had investigated the matter
on behalf of the bank, and had satisfied
themselves that there was absolutely
no truth in the reports, but that on the
contrary the Breuner brothers were
doing a profitable, safe and increasing
business, which rendered them a fair
margin of profit on the volume of their
sales.
George A. Capen, Superintendent Of
Bradstreets, another reliable authority,
was also called on. Mr.. Capen stated
that he had made an investigation re-
garding the rumors referred to- and
had satisfied himself that they had no
foundation whatever.
These statements should be sufficient
to set at rest the unwarranted rurnor
that is being circulated regarding the
standing Of this pioneer house.

recognized in them the basis for a
universal religion that joins man to his
duty and his God without the aid Of
church, priest or minister. The ques-
ton now is: How will leading Catho-
lies recognize it? 1 trust that Bishop
Grace of Sacramento will kindly con-
slider it and duly reply through these
columns.
For over twenty-five years I have
sought to introduce conscience as the
basis for a coming religion, and many
years ago 1 laid before the Cardinal
various articles on the subject, which
time seems to have ripened into the
fruit now apparent. In the meantime,
the subject of conscience has received
consideration from a great variety of
sources, and assurance is thereby given
that there are possibilities awaiting it
from the general public. Our leading
reviews have for many years called at.
tention to an existing religious unrest,
and conscience only seems qualified to
speak peace to the troubled souls of
men.
THE Social Basis of Conscience" was
the title of a paper read by DR.. Jo-
siah Royce of Harvard College at the
recent meeting of the National Edu-
cational Association in Washington.
1t was discussed by a number of prom
inent persons, among them being Hen
ry r. Sanford, State Institute Direct
or, Pen Yam, N. Y, and H. e. Kratz,
superintendent of the Public Schools,
Sioux City, Iowa.
In recent symposium in the Bos-
ton Investigator" open alike to min
listers and materialists, several of the
fifty-one symposiumists suggested con-
science as a moral Or religious guide,
while Colonel Ingersoll and some OF
the ministers paid partial tribute to it
also-as at least, one Of the factors that
make for justice, honesty and right
eouSness.
But no one man in religious author
ity has SO extolled conscience as Car
dinal Gibbons, and the question can
here be repeated: Does the Catholic
world approve Of his utterance in its
wide and only significance, and is it
willing that under the banner Of con-
science the oft-suggested unification of
Christendom be now recommended and
attempted?

Justice Gill Explains.

Eds. Record Union: The Bee"
states that there was trouble in Wash
ington. The character Of the trouble
is probably fairly stated, but the state
ment in reference to my refusing a
warrant is without foundation, as no
one applied to me for warrant. It
was talked Of last night, and the COM
planning witness said: II will wait I'M
til tomorrow" I think the matter
was settled by the parties, as no war
rant has been asked for.

act drama, though which will be the
dead one when the curtain drops can
only be surmised. Away back, when
the season opened, the San Franchises
slaughtered the Gifts on their own sand
lot and there was mourning in the local
camp. But the boys from the bay could
not keep up the lick, and they lost and

picked up something of their old form,
besides which they have signed Cro1l,

worked that garden for the Alerts, and

WHITE LEATHERS.
Cowhide, CaIf.Irfa and sheepskin,
and the Uses TO which They
Are Chiefly Put.

White cowhide has long been used for
various purposes, though its place has
now been taken to considerable ex-
tent by other and cheaper feathers. It
is used, for examr lie, in making sus-
pender tips, and it's use in making mill
tary belts is familiar For this purpose
it is made up with I'll e flesh side out, and
the belts are WhiteI ed as occasion may
require with chalk d pipe clay, says the
New York Sun.
White calfskin is more extensively
used than white cowhide. White calf
is used for fine and ostly work in book
binding, it may be for gift books. and
sometimes for prayer books. White
calf is also used for suspeuder tips.
More extensively used than either
white cowkida or white calfskin are the.
white sheepsfins. white sheepskin IS
used also for suspe1ider tips, and for
covering tTusses and other articles of
metal, and for the trimmings of shoes.
It is used for book binding, especially
for the binding Of medical books, ia
which use it is first sprinkled with a
coioring material Wltich gives it a mot

TELEGRAPH POLE FOR A SHOP
A Harness Dealer Who In Doing q
Rushing Business In the Mid
die of West Street. ~

A telegraph pole in West street, New
York, is utilized as store, says the Sun
of that city. The pole stands in the
middle of the street, lot far from Ganse-
WORT market. The stock of the 'tstore'
consists of harness and saddler's hard
ware. These articles are hung upon
iron spikes driven in the pole. The pro-
Prietor, who is also clerk, cashier and
BARKER" carries some of the stock on
his person. Lighter weight articles are
around his neck; currycombs, brushes
and other articles are in his pockets.
He holds a bunch of whips under one
arm and carries one lash in his hand.
He circles about his s'store," crying his
wares to the passers by. There are few
streets in New York where there is as
much teaming as in West street, and
most of the trade thatcomes to the tele-
graph pole is from transfers. ~.
what does he do when it rains ?''
That is always the question Of those
who notice the odd place of business.
The proprietor shifts his stock across:
the street to a place which he patron
ICES and his patronage pays the rent.
But he does not shut up shop on rainy
days. Having stored the bulk of his
stock he goes on a soliciting jaunt
among the shops, carrying a few "side
lines" like commercial agents of the
more pretentious class, and these are
salable anywhere.

JUVENILE SOLDERING.


Since the tocsin Of war has sounded.
even the children in the nursery have
their drills and go through the SEM
blance Of war, says the Des Moines
News. In the northern part of the city
q company Of boys has been formed, and
there is nothing done Camp Mckinley,
probably not at Chickamanga, which
they do not attempt. What with their
blue overalls and white jackets they
look quite soldierly at times! The
mothers in the neighborhood realized
that they might expect any thing from
their Warlike sons, and so were not sur
prised few days ago when the an
nouncement was made that the boys
were going into barracks in barn in
the neighborhood. They had been do
ing their own cooking for some time and
now they would be satisfied with moth
ing short of sleeping in their trousers
and on the hay. On the first nj ht spent
by them in the barn, the mother of one
of the boys had occasion to go to speak
to her son. Up and down in front#of
the improVised barracks moved the SEN
tinel. 5
Halt! Who goes there?" rang out
the stern voice Of the guard.
"a friend" meekly answered the1ady,
deeply impressed with the so1emnity of
the occasion.
Advance and give the countersig n,"
was the next order.
Happily one of the boys, in deepest
secrecy, had told his mother the mystic
word, and the latter had impaired it to
her neighbour.
Going close to the sentinel the lady
whispered: dewey" s.:
1--WE do" came the answer. 4

SPANISH PROVERBS ON WOMEN
Soy1ngs That illustrate the Estima-
ton In Which The Fair
l. Sex Are Held.

Spaniards have weakness for prov
cribs. The common everyday conversa-
ton of the people contains scores OF
pithy sayings more or less wise that
express. briefly the ideas of the Cas-
tilians on various subjects. Among
these are some about women that do
not show very high estimation of the
sex, and most of which would not apply
to the American woman, whether or not
they may be true of the land of the
castanets. Some of the best known
are: ~
Choose neither q wife nor liren By
candle light.
Women and weather are not to be
trusted.
No season is as brief as woman's
love.
A woman may be loyal in love, bu;
never to lovers. i.
Woman is a curious creature will

How He Quietly Rebuked the Girls

Visitors at the worlds fair in 1893
will recall the Indian exhibit or en-
campment on the shore of the south
pond. One of the tents or wigwams
was occupied by an athletic and fine
looking, but somewhat taciturn, speci-
men of young Indian manhood as his
particular home, and while it was open
at all proper times for the inspection of
visitors, he resented any approach to i'm
pertinent curiosity, says Youths Com
panion.
A bevy Of young women dropped into
his tent one day before his usual hour
for opening it, and found him sewing a
rent in a blanket.

of the visitors. Eve have caught him
