QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the civ
ilized world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought OF using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
ProstratiOn or Heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation Of un-
digested food regulate the action Of the
liver. stimulate the nervous and oragnic
action of the system, and that is all
they took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches and other aches. You
only need few doses of Green's August
Flower, in liquid form, to make you
satisfied there is nothing serious the
matter with you. For sale by r. l..

Mr. Hollis Says They Are Premature
Pesssmism at Hague Conference.

Lake Mohonk N. " June 6--The
Lake Mohonk conference on interfla-
tionaI arbitration began it's sixth an
nual meeting here to-day, There are
| about $50 delegates present, among
them being Professor ], Rendell Har-
ris and Mrs. William f. Clark, q
daughter of the late John Bright, rep
resenting England. Frederick w. Hollis,
who was secretary to the American del
egates at The Hague conference, in an
address said that the atmosphere at
The Hague was laden with cynicism,
pessmism and the spirit of hopeless
ness. Much was due to the American
delegation, which determined to accom-
plish practical results. He was of the
opinion that appeals to nations to dis
arm were premature and not calculated
to help the cause of arbitration With
reference to dunn dun bullets, he de-
clared that England had only few of
them made for experimental purposes,
and he was satisfied that they had new
er been issued to her soldiers.

RECORD SESSION OF CONGRESS-.
Complete summary, Upto Date, of the
work Accomplished.

Washington, June Ga complete sum
mary of the work of this congress, up to
date, compared with the four preceding
congresses appeared to-day as a special
feature of the house of representatives
calendar, compiled by Tally Clerk
Wakefield, of the official staff of the
house. 1t covers both the senate and
house, and gives the following data:
Number Of days in session, 1877; bills
introduced, 12152; total passed. 1215;
public acts, 2S3; private acts, 952; ex-
tent of congressional record, 70S1 pages.
The bulk of this business far exceeds
the work of the first sessions of the four
previous congresses, and in a much
shorter time. The shortest of these pre-
ceding first sessions was 175 days, as
against 1877 days this session. The
greatest number of bills at these longer
sessions has been 10,639, as against 49,
152 to-day, and the highest total of acts
heretofore 723, as against 1915 at pres
ent Tho magnitude of the work is said
to be unprecedented.

here shortly before o'clock this after
noon and spent the intervening time
before dinner in unloading the boats
from the cars The men, instead of
making the trip by water from New

or friend of the university, as has been
the case for several years, travelled to
New London by train and were taken
to quarters in the launch Yale, which
was on hand. The naphtha launch Scud,

which is to be used for coaching the

damaged and everything was in readi-

their season Of hard training to-nor-
row, No work was done tonight and
the men spent the hours after dinner
until they retired in quiet relaxation.

more spacious and quiet than former
quarters. Everything was in readiness
for the men upon their arrival, having
been prepared by the stewart who has
