Similarly, New Yorker is very con-
temptuous OF the Philadelphia police
man who keeps vehicles in line and
compels them to stop at intervals to

That looks like a busy, bustling CITY,

1t is precisely because Phila-

MRS. GLADSTONE'S DEVOTION.

All the printed accounts of Mrs.
Gladstone's life emphasize her entire
devotion to her husband at all times
The great English premier owed much
to her care of his health Not less
strong was her implicit confidence that
whatever he did or could do was for
the best. 1t amounted almost to a
belief in his infallibility
During tne trOublOus times in 1885,
just before the fall of Khartoum ana
the murder Of Chinese Gordon, which
were really the cause Of the defeat Of
the Gladstone ministry little later, a
statesman high in the councils of the
liberal party called at Mr.. Gladstones
residence and was cordially received by
his wife. The statesman in question
is Variously described by different yer
sions of the story as being the late
duke Of Argyll, the earl Of ROsebery,
and Sir William Vernon Harcourt.
Of the three, it would most likely be
the first, but the question Of identity is
really of no Importance. The states
man was in lugubriOus frame of mind
and spoke dismaIly Of the situation.
"Ah, Mrs. Gladstone" he said, these
are dreadful times. The clouds are
very thick. We can only remember
that there is one above who will help
us in all our troubles, and that he will
guide us out of our difficulties"
20, yes" replied Mrs. Gladstone,
with great cheerfulness, "he is upstairs
shaving just now, but he will be down
directly. New York Mail and Ex-

QUAKER CITY SLOWNESS.
Entirely Imaginary Says a Defender OF
That Town.

Delegates to the republican conven-
ton who were not previously familiar
with Philadelphia have expressed their
surprise at finding none of the SLOW
ness commonly ascribed to this city.
They have been impressed also by the
ease and absence of furry with which
the convention crowds were handled,
and the good order that everywhere
prevailed.
1t is worth remarking that these
very characteristics, by which Phila-
delphians accomplish results without
disturbance or fuss, are among the
things that strangers often mistake
for slowness. 1t makes man from
Chicago quite hilarious to observe the
deliberate way in which people move
along the sidewalk in Philadelphia,
keeping their own side and paying
some regard TO each others con-

London, Aug. 1S.-"Pekin was re-

sage was received last evening at the
imperial customs Office in London from
the commissioner Of customs in Che
foo. 1t is the only official message that
has reached England in confirmation
OF earlier reports, Admiral Remey' 5
dispatch not having arrived in time
for publication in the London morning
papers. The Morning Post, which is
the only paper printing the Chefoo
message, says: To-day is not only 4
day Of national rejoicing; it is also a
day Of congratulation for all the pow
ers of the world Proceeding to dis
cuss the probabilities OF a cessation OF
hostilities, the Morning Post assumed
that the United States is wil4lng to
abandon any idea Of further aggressive
action, but it questions the disposition
of Germany and the other powers tC
agree to such a course The Berlin
correspondent of the Morning Post says
he learns no formal request for an ar
mistice has yet reached the powers
and that it is improbable that any such
request will be granted Other papers

Daily Graphic, in paragraph appar-

to believe any Of the powers will re-
pudiate the previous understanding
to respect the integrity of the empire
and the dynasty, adding that the pro-
pOsal to land a British force at
Shanghai originated not with the Brit
ish government but with the Chinese,
who at the same time urged that this
should not be done as likely to lead to
international complications. This, .
says the Daily Graphic, "disposes OF
the story that the viceroy of Nankiu
changed his mind under the influence
of the consuls. Her majesty's govern
ment We believe has no intention OF
contesting the right Of France or the
United States to land troops should
either think it necessary"

SHOWERS.

The Georgia shower is a peculiar one,
and sometimes a single day has a score
of them. 1t is on you before you know
1t. For a few moments the lightning
flashes, the thunder rolls and the rain
falls, and it is apt to cease as suddenly.
Out comes the sun again as smiling and
serene as though no great damage had
been done to the crops. There is m
thing else that comes on one unawares,
and that is dyspepsia. Many people
have suffered years from this COM
plant, because they have allowed indi-
gestion, constipation and biliousness to
become chronic. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters should be taken at the first sign
of indigestion. 1t will strengthen your
stomach and produce sound sleep, and
good health must naturally follow.

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the larg-
est sale of any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought Of using any
thing else for indigestion or biliousness.
Doctors were scarce. and they seldom
heard of appendicitis. v prostra-
ton or heart failure. etc. They used
August Flower to clean out the system
and stop fermentation of i~ndigested
food. regulate the action of the liver,
stimulate the and organic ac-
ton of the system, and that is all they
took when feeling dull and bad with
headaches Inc other aches. You only
need a few doses of Green's August
Flower. in liquid form, to make you sat-
lsf1ed there is nothing serious the mat
ter with you. For sale by Ireland's
