Scion of an Old Family.

The Gaskill family in Philadelphia
ranks with the Binneys. the Prices. the
Cadwalladers, the Biddles and Ritten-
houses. and perhaps has a greater
claim to pride of ancestry than any
one of them. The early members of
the Gaskill family were the stouteSt
champions of Tom Paine when he was
a consultant of John Hancock in the
drafting Of the Declaration Of indie
pendence, and the original Benjamin
Gaskill, after whom a street is named
in the southern part of the city, was
Hancock's most valiant defender when
he was assailed in front of the old
Carpenters Hall.
Gaskill was only forty-one years old
when he died. He was c member of
the Manufacturers Club, the Union
League, the Country Club, the Glover
Club, and other organizations. and
the revelations astound even the sever
est of his critics.
The administrators of the estate,
Lincoln l.. Eyre and George NJ. Wag-
ner. have retained John G. Johnson to
protect the interests Of the estate.
Gaskill left q widow, to whom the
Stock Exchange a few days ago paid

FERTlLIzINo ORCHARDS.
W. F. Massey Tells How This Work
Can Best Be Done-Fruit Trees
Need Enriching.

Farmers as a rule realize the i'm
portance of fertilizers on their annual
crops, but when it comes to the or
chard they imagine that an apple or
q peach tree or other fruit tree can
get all it needs from the natural soil.
And not only do this, but the orchard
is often expected to furnish hay or
pasture for stock. The result Of such
treatment is seen all over the coun-
try in decrepit trees and poor crops
of fruit, and the growers say that the
climate has changed. and they can
no longer grow fruit as they formerly
did, when in fact soil exhaustion is
at the root of the whole trouble.
When one considers the great amount
of plant food that has been taken
from the soil to build up great apple
tree, and that a crop of apples takes
from the soil mineral matters to
thrice the extent that crop of wheat
of % bushels per acre will take, the
reason for the failure of the fruit
becomes apparent. In the early
growth of an orchard we want the
trees to develop fast, and hence we
fertilize the soil with a complete fer
tilizer and grow some truck crops
in it that need such feeding. But
after the tree has gotten into a bear
ing condition we can put the land in
grass and cut it several times during
the ,son, and let cut grass rot
on the land, and can thus supply all
the nitrogen needed, especially II
clover is grown. Plenty of white
clover among the grass, well supplied
with acid phosphate, and potash
mixed five parts of the first to one OF
the last, will supply in 400 pounds per
acre what the, fruit needs for its per
fection. Try this and see if the fruit
does not respond.

STRENGTHEN THE STOMACH
Or. Williams Pink Pills Really Cure
indigestion Instead OF Merely
RELIEVING Svmptome.


There are plenty of remedies by which
you can relieve for the time heartburn,
pain and gas on the stomach and can
smother nervous sensations and induce
artificial sleep. You can humor your
stomach by giving it predigested food.
But when you take your next meal all
your trouble begins afresh.
There is only one sensible thing to do.
Strengthen the stomach and do away
with the necessity for drugs and arti-
fetal foods. The best remedy ever found
for this purpose is the one that was used
by E. E. Strong, of Capleville, Shelby
county, Tenn.
"For years." he states, "I suffered
greatly from indigestion. I tried many
different remedies and some of them
would relieve me for time, but the
trouble always came back. About six
months ago had an unusually severe
attack, and while tried everything I
had ever heard of, / found that none of
the ordinary remedies would reach the
difficulty this time.

Michigan woman, sufferer from chronic
dyspepsia of n most stubborn type.
then tried the same remedy and it
proved just as successful i'll my case.
took only three boxes, and was cured.
have not had the slightest symptoms of
indigestion SINCE"
The tonic treatment has sound prin-
ciple as it's basis, and abundant success ia
actual use. Multitudes of cases that had
defied all other remedies have been cured
by DIR. Williams Pink Pills. The pills
actually make new blood and strike at the
root of all diseases caused by bad blood.
They contain no harmful stimulants OF
opiates. Every dyspeptic should read,

MANY PARTIES IN CHINA.
Prominent Political Organizations In
the Country Number at
Least Seven.

Doubtless the majority Of people con-
slider that there is only one dominat-
ing opinion in China-that is, hatred
of the foreigner. And yet it seems
from a recent investigation made by
the Japanese paper Shimkoron that
China is not lacking in variety Of
views. The Shimkoron notes no less
than seven different parties, all Of
which have q large membership. First,
there are the extreme conservatives
represented by the Peking court and
the majority of the officials. To live
from day to day; to move with every
wind, be it toward Russia or toward
England; not to touch the worm-eaten
state ediflce except for the most neces-
sary repairs; to make no plans with
reference to the future and to move
with the tide of events; these are the
dominant traits. The next party is the
one in favor of a Chino-Japanese al
lance. This party in nowise desires
to overthrow the imperial government,
but wishes resolutely to take up the
question of reforms. The Japanese,
brothers of the Chinese in race and
traditions, are clearly the ones to bring
both the educational and military re-
forms to successful issue
The next party is the republican par
ty, which dreams of remodeling China
into a republic similar to the United
States. The programme of this party
is: China for the Chinese, away with
the foreigners, away with the Man
chus. The constitutional party repre-
sents peaceful evolution. This party
does not wish revolution which would
disturb the country and furnish for
eigners with a pretext to get a foot
hold in China; it desires to keep at
the head of the empire the Manchu
dynasty, but it also demands that dele
gates, elected by the people, shall have
voice in the affairs of the empire.
Another party, the party of the great
man." thinks that only some great
man can save China from her present
predicament and they are daily expect
Ing the appearance of this delivery.
This idea, it appears, has a much
larger following than one might sup
pose. The dismemberment party,
| nhlCh ID IuS u1OSI IGuldThdUle OIL all,
demands that in the same way the city
of Shanghai was divided between the
French and English China itself should
be divided into concessions to the diff
ferent nations. Thus Shantung should
be given to Germany, Yunnan should
be given to France, and so on. II
this be done, the partisans Of the
movement contend, the people will live
happily and in a short time all neces.
sary reforms will be granted. The
last party is the educational party
This camp thinks that before consid.
ering reforms the people must be edu.
Gated, for nothing can be done with an
ignorant people. The Shimkoron OBJ.

one in favor Of Chino-Japanese ALI
