 THE SUSPECTED ssrwo-PoUNDERs. J
 After long delay in examining re-shipped again on ramshackle old tub, packed like herrings in box, and taken back to Ellis Island, half-an- hours sail down the bay. Here they have to undergo another searching ex- animation to comply with the U. s. Immigration Laws. First you have to pass the doctor, who examines your eyes, forcing the eyelids back with an instrument. This over, another off Ger passes you on along an enclosure, something like a cattle pen, for your final exam. Here you are called upon in different languages to get your money ready, and are interrogated by another official all about your business, how much money you have, and a doz- en other questions besides. If your answers are satisfactory and compare with your declaration pa perS, which he has in his possession, you are allow ed to go. If not, you are detained and stand chance of being sent home again. It is a common remark that it is more difficult fC r steerage paSSen- ger to get in New York than to enter "the kingdom of heaven" The object of these strict regulations may be good, but they are somewhat degrad- ing to respecta ble emigrant or visit or. Great delay is caused thereby, and it is more difficult for steerage passengers (which are the most numer- ous) to meet their friends than under the old regime at Castle Garden. Many of our passengers who arrived in New York at 10 O 'clook dld not leave Ellis Island till after six in the even- ing.
 Taken altogether we had very in teresting and pleasant voyage. The "Oceanic's" daily runs from Queens town being: 1st day, 473 miles; 2d day, 493 miles; 3d day, 4S6 miles; 4th day, 505 miles; 5th day, ASA miles: 9th day, 337 miles; Liverpool to Queens town, 242 miles; total, 3,O20.

ONLY MAKES A BAD MATTER
 WORSE.

Perhaps you have never thought of it one that constipation is caused by lack of water in the the system, and the use of drastic cathartics like the old fashioned pills only makes a bad matter worse. Chamberlain'S Stomach and Liver Tablets are much more mild and gentle in their effect, and when the proper dose is taken their action is SO natural that one can hardly realize it is the effect of a medicine. Try a 25c bottle of them. Sold by R. H. Beers & Co.,, Newtown; Taylor, Curtis & Co.,, Sandy Hook; w. N. Hurd, Long Hill; Ernest Hawley, Hawleyville; A. B. Blakeman, Botsford; D. s. Mead, Rranchville.
