Do You Enjoy
What You Eat /?

You can eat whatever and whenever you
like if you take Kodol. By the use of this
remedy disordered digestion and diseased
stomachs are so completely restored to
health, and the full performance of their
functions naturally, that such foods as would
tie one into a -bow-knot are eaten
without even 'rumbling" and with a posi-
tive pleasure and enjoyment. And what is
more - these foods are assimilated and
transformed into the kind of nutriment that
is appropriated by the blood and tissues.
Hodol is the only digestant or combination
OF digestants that will digest all classes Of
food. In addition TO this fact. il contains. in
sssimilative form, the greatest known tonic
and reconstructive properties.
Kodol cures indigestion, dyspepsia and all
disorders arising therefrom.

SOMETHING OF AN EGG.

A hens egg, laid by an ordinary hen
that is, hen of no distinctive stock, was
brought to the reportorial department of
the Morning News yesterday because
of its extraordinary size. 1t weighed
AS ounces, and measured So inches
around its long diameter and 61a inches
around its short diameter. The hen
that laid the egg is one of a lot of
fowls owned by Mr.. Stephen Bradshaw
a Waterman at the Gulf wharf, where
he keeps the fowls. He resides at AZ
East Broad street. According to ac-
counts the hen does not seem to feel
that she did anything extraordinary in
producing the egg. She isn't stuck up
bit and associates with other hens
on terms of entire equality.

FOR CONTEMPT OF
POLICE COURT.

For failing to appear in court as
prosecutrix, after causing an arrest to
be made and being summoned to ap-
pear, Emma Jones, colored. was ar
rested by officer ]. j. Murphy yester-
day charged with contempt of court.
Many of the colored population have
fallen into the practice of having their
enemies arrested solely for the pleasure
OF having them pass a night in limbo.
They fail to appear in court the next
morning and the case has to be dis
missed for want of prosecution. The
superintendent of police is tired of that
practice as is the Recorder and it will
be broken up.

Race Riot in Indiana.

Six shot dead and % injured is the
outcome of race riots that caused reign
of terror In Evansville, Ind. during the
four days ending Tuesday.
At 10 o'clock Monday night, the
Evansville company of Indiana National
Guard, assisted by 200 special deputy
sheriffs, sworn in during the day, while
guarding a county Jail in which were 16
negro prisoners, poured a deadly volley
of buckshot and bullets into crowd Of
several thousand people led by 100 arm
ed rioters which was pressing them back
amid jeers and threats, accompanied by
stones aud missiles.
When the smoke cleared away 81
wounded and dead bodies lay on the
pavements. There is a contention as
TO who fired first, the soldiers or the
rioters. That the troops were fired on
is proved by the fact that of the fallen
four were members of the company.
Their wounds were slight. The soldiers
claim that the rioters fired first.
After the shooting the mob scattered
and disappeared. The dead and wound
ed were taken to homes and hospitals
and the line Of soldiers was formed. All
night the troops stood around the Jail
while inside the negro prisoners prayed
for mercy and protection.

The pope Diving.

Pope Leo NH, the eminent Pontiff,
so long at the head of the great Catholic
church, lies in his palace at the Vatican,
sick unto death, at the remarkable age
of SO years, five months. He has served
with distinction as Pope since February
1878, more than 25 years, greatly beloved
by not only his whole church, by whom
he Is devoutly reverenced, but by people
of all nations and clmes outside the
Catholic church.
Pope Leo is man Of great ability, de-
votion, kindness, benevolence and won
derful vitality. He has ruled his people
with wisdom. No Pontiff has had a
more successful reign than Pope Leo,
nor more sincere devotion of his millions
of people of the Catholic church in all
nations of ChristendOm.
Skillful and most eminent physi
clans of Rome are doing everything
within their power to prolong his life
and it may continue several days, but
life hangs by slender thread and he
may even now be numbered among those
VINO have passed from life.
