Value of Mans Life.

The supreme courts have recently
decided that the life of the average
man is worth just what he is able to
earn. A mans earnings depend to a
great extent upon his health, and it is
always within his power to improve
his condition. The stomach is the
measure of health and strength. Ev.
cry man may be bright, active and
happy, if his digestion is normal. If it
is not, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
will make it so. 1t puts the digestive
organs in condition to properly digest
and assimilate the food. Try it for con
stipation, indigestion, dyspepsia, bill.

BATH. Me, Sept. 5.-Hon. Arthur
Sewall died of apoplexy at 1870 a. m.
to-day at his summer home, Small
Point, about twelve miles from this
city. He was Ga years of age.
Mr.. Sewall had not been in good
health for some time, although he was
not considered to be seriously ill. He
had been advised by his physician to
rest as early as last June and he at
tended the Democratic National Con-
vention in July against the advice of
his doctor. He appeared to have suffer-
ed no i'll effects from the journey, how
ever, and was passing the summer
quietly at Small Point when the fatal
stroke seized him last Sunday. The
Inconsistencies which followed the at
tack continued until death came.
Arthur Sewall was born in Bath, in
November, 1885. His father for years
was prominent in Bath as ship build
er and the son fitted himself for the
same trade. In 1855 by forming the
partnership of E. & A. S. Sewall, he
continued the calling of one Of the old
est ship-b building families in Maine.

districts outside of Picking. 1t is believed
here, possibly because OF these reports,
that the foreign ministers in Picking prob
ably will enter an earnest objection to
any withdrawal of troops If their respec-
tive governments delay action upon the
Russian proposition until they have had
a chance to express their views.
The German foreign Office appears to be
active in furthering the negotiations and
quite a number of messages have passed
between Washington and Berlin. Those
persons have named Yung Lu and Hsi
Tung in place Of the two Pacific viceroys.
But while there is doubt as to the person
mel of the commission, it is quite gen.
orally accepted among officials that some
such move. on the part of China has
matured and will take form in Washing
ton very soon. In that event, it is be-
lieved by diplomatic officials that the en-
tire status of the negotiations between
the Powers might be changed and that
Russia no longer would feel impelied to
insist upon the withdrawal of her Minis
ter and troops from Picking, as all these
matters would be subjects for the COM
mission itself to deal with. It is pointed
out also that in the six days since the
Russian-American notes were given to
the world the sentiment has been grow
ing steadily in favor of continuing the
presence of troops at Picking.
In view of the declaration made in the
American reply to Russia some questions

81 Company was formed and the cor
poration now controls one of the larg-
est of American sailing fleets.
Mr.. Sewall was also one of the prom
inent railroad men of New England.
For nine years he was president of the
Maine Central and was president of the
Eastern Railroad until it was absorbed
by the Boston & Maine. For many
years he was the Maine representa-
tive on the Democratic National
Committee, and in 1896 he was made the
choice of his party for president.
Mr.. Sewall is survived by two sons,
Harold NJ. Sewall, who was stationed
by the government at Hawaii, and Will
liam D. Sewall, who is in business in
Bath.
CHICAGO, Sept. 5.-Erskine NJ.

The news of the death of Arthur
Sewall, lifelong friend of Mr. Phelps,
was kept from the patient for some
time. Mr.. Sewall was recently guest
at the Phelps home, where hangs a

Cotton mln men in Boston have paid con-
