In late years men have made fortunes cut
of the tailings OF gold mines. The mills in
which the ore formerly was crushed and the
crude processes then in use allowed a large
percentage ofthe precious metal to escape,
and that loss amounted in some cases 10 a
fortune The stomach Is just like stamp

perfect order it allows the escape and waste
OF much of the precious nutriment contained
in the food That loss when continuous

dition in DIR. Plerce's Golden Medical Dis

Mr.. Major the famous cement man OF New
York, explains some very interesting facts
about Majors Cement.
The multitudCs who use this standard
article know that ii is many hundred per
cent. better than other CCmCnts for which
similar claims are made, II great many do not
know why. The simple reason is That Mr.
Major uses the best materials ever discovered
and other manufactures do not use them,
because they are too expensive and do not
allow large profits. MIR. Major tells us that
one of the clements OF his cement costs 49, rs
a pound, and another costs 81 10 Il gallon,
while Il large share OF the SO-callcd ccments
ana liquid glue upon the market are nothing
more than siXtCcn-Ccnt glue, dissolved in
water or critic acid, and in some cases. alter
ed slightly in color and odor by the addition
of cheap and useless materials.
Major cement retailS ut fifteen cents and
twenty five cents a bottle, and when Il dealer
tries to sell substitute you can depend upon
II that his only object is to make larger
profits.
The profit on Majors cement is as much us
any dealer ought to make on any cement.
And this is doubly true in view of the fact that
each dealer gets his share of the benefit of
Mr.. Majors advertising, which now amounts
to over $1,000 month, throughout the coun-
try. Established in 1876.
Insist on having Majors. Don't accept any
oilhand advice from druggists.
If you are at all handy (you will be likely to
find that you are good deal more so than
you imagine) you can repair your rubber
boots and family shoes, and any other rubber
and leather articles, with Majors Rubber
Cement and Majors Leather Cement.
And you will be surprised at how many dol
lars year you will thus save.
If your druggist can't supply you, ii will be
forwarded by mail; either kind free of post
age. June2 yr.

MANY POLITICIANS AFTER OFFICE.
The baltimore American" Speaks of the
Aspirations on Eastern Shore
of Maryland.

The Baltimore Americdn, speaking
of the number of aspirants for the
Democratic Congressional nomination
in the First district, says:
"TO understand the Eastern Shore
fight and its intensity the fact should
be borne in mind that every Eastern
ShOreman who amounts to much has
politics grated into his bone and mus
Gle. And, in addition he is fighter
who knows no surrender. And still
again, in convention he is willy, adrOit,
resOurceful in combinations, quick and
ever ready to detect and penetrate a
weak spot in an opponents armor.
Above all, it is an Eastern Shoreman' s
greatest ambition to sit in the halls of
Congress, an ambition that has been
greatly intensified since the Peninsula
was deprived of the privilege of having
one of the two senators. 1t is to the
detriment of the district that its lead
ing men should be constantly seeking
congressional honors, for they won t
let man stay i'll Washington over two
terms. The late Senator Gibson was
the only man who ever broke the rule
He got into the House three times bv a
fOrtuituOus combinatian of circum-
stances. Ordinarily, however, just as
an Eastern ShOreman gets acquainted
with his surroundings in the House
and knows where to hang his hat, he is
ruthlessly showed aside by dozen as
pirants-One of whom in the conven-
tiOn is the illustration of the survival
of the fttest. There is hardly man
of note to-day on the Eastern Shore.
and since the foundation of the gov
ernment, there has not been a man of
prominence there who has not at some
time in his life been a candidate for
Congress.

CHEswoLD, Aug. 21.-Two and half
cars of peaches were received here for
shipment last Monday. The larger
portion OF this quantity was shipped to
Jersey City. Ex-Sheriff Mcdaniel
from his farm near ''Woyley's" is con-
ceded to bring the finest fruit and in
the best shape that comes here. 1t is
all nicely packed in what is known as
south side carriers. He has an old
and young orchard. In the latter
he has 800 trees of the famous
"Elberta's" of which he commenced
picking on Monday and expected at
least to load of this special variety
Tuesday and Wednesday each of this
week. The fruit is handsome, uniform
In size and he anticipates four baskets
to the tree or about 1900. William Bovd
near Cheswold also brings peaches
nicely colored and that sells we'll in
market. Because of the strangely
tiuctuating cantalope make out buvers
or shippers have been puzzled to know
how to work them. Our boys on the
street have had no trouble to fill up on
cantalopes.
The workmen repairing the torn out
bridge at the Garrison Mills discovered
on Monday the main mud sill which
bears the greater pressure of the
water to be broken and entirely nm
safe to build upon. This unfortunate
circumstance will cause delay in the
completion of the work, but Mr.. Garri
son and his head workman decided that
the main body of posts and sleepers
should be put in place and planks laid
to accommodate the travelling public.
The bridge will therefore be passible
by Wednesday morning of this week.
