SPREADS LIKE WILDFIRE.—You can’t
keep a good thing down. News of it travels
fast. When things are ‘‘the best’’ they
become ‘‘the best selling.’”” Abrabam
Hare, a leading druggist, of Belleville, O.
writes : ‘Electric Bitters are the best sell-
ing bitters I have ever handled in my 20
years experience.”’ You know why ? Most
diseases begin in disorders of stomach,
liver, kidneys, bowels, blood and nerves.
Electric Bitters tones up the stomach, regu-
lates liver, kidneys and bowels, purifies
the blood, strengthens the nerves, hence
cures multitudes of maladies. It builds up
the entire system. Puts new life and vigor
into any weak, sickly, run-down man or
woman. Only 50 cents. Sold by F. Potts

Smiths in the House.
They Are Noted for Their Ability and Afability.
{There are four Smiths in this house;
i there will be five Smithsin the next. Four
i of them will be Republicans, and three of
{ them will come from the state of Michigan.
| In fact, Michigan is the state that furnishes
this new statesman of the Smith family.
The only democratic Smith is Mr. David
Highbaugh Suiith, of Hodgensville, Lanue
county, Ky., a little man of nervous man-
nei, who is one of the ablest members of
the Kentucky delegation in the house, al-
though, as he is now serving his first term,
he has not come very prominently to the
front. ;
i It was.in this Mr. Smith's district, not
| far from Hodgensvilie, that. Abraham Lin-
coln was born, which makes it pertinent to
‘remark that Representative-elect Henry ‘C.
Smith, of Adrian, in the Second Michigan
district, has an: Abraham Lincoln habit,
much neted by his prospective constituents,
of illustrating his arguments with a pat
story. He is said to be nimble-witted, and
nal, in excellent form. This Michigan
Smith is about 40 years old, the son of a
| farmer, and was born within six miles of
‘the city whéve he now resides.
vhis own way through college, studied law,
i and has built up a practice and won a repu-
tation as the leading attorney of that part
‘of Michigan. He succeeds that intrepid
old warrior, General George Spalding.
During the campaign Mr. Smith clambered
into the Pingree band wagon, and. is an
ardent supporter of Michigan’s emphatic
chief executive.
Representative Sam W. Smith, of the
. Sixth Michigan district, who is the small-
est man in stature in the house, but like
Mr. Smith, of Adrian, a very brilliant law-
' yer, was re-elected. Representative Wil-
. liam Alden Smith, a man with a Daniel
Wehster pose, who is a member of the
; house committee on foreign affairs, and
| who had a battle with Spanish soldiers in
| Cuba last spring, frightened away a great
‘number of them with his silk umbrella,
and has likewise been re-elected, as has
George W. Smith, of Murphysboro, IIl.,
representing the Twenty-second district.
Railroads of Pennsylvania.
HARRISBURG, Nov. 29.—Mzjor Isaac B.
Brown, chief of the state bureau of rail-
| ways, completed to-day an interesting re-
| port on the operations during the fiscal
(year ending June 30th last of the 292
steam railway companies operating in
' Pennsylvania. The total capitalization of
| these roads is $1,112,409,142, or about one-
i fifth of the capital of all the steam railways
of the United States. ~The bonded in-
debtedness of the corporations reporting to
the bureau is $991,746.103 and the current
liabilities $216,390,099; on a total capital
of $2,320,545,244.
Major Brown says it would be difficult
to tell what proportion of this capital is ap-
“plicable to the actual mileage within the
State of Pennsylvania. After excluding
the floating indebtedness or current liabili-
ties the bonded indebtedness of the entire
railway system of the United States is
about equal to its capital stock. The report
states that this is a less favorable financial
condition than is found among the railways
of Pennsylvania reporting to the bureau.
The total assets of the railways operat-
ing in Pennsylvania is $2,400,411,763. Of
the assets reported by these corporations
65 per cent. of the entire amount is assign-
able to cost of road and equipment, 8 per
cent. to equipment 13 per cent. to stocks
and bonds owned, 4 per cent. to cash and
current assets and 10 per cent. to other
assets.
Hatching Silk Worm Eggs.
Women Carry Muslin Bags of Them in Their Bosoms.
The Umbrian cattle are snow white, and
form a lovely bit in the landscape; but,
strange to our American eyes, cows as well
as oxen are yoked to the plough, and are
never sent to pasture, says London ‘‘Zem-
ple Bar.” In fact, there is no pasture land
for them, and at sunset peasants are to be
seen up in trees stripping them of their
leaves, and filling sacks with them for
their stable-fed cattle. Until I inquired, I
supposed they were gathering mulberry
leaves for silk worms, as almost every fam-
ily gives up one room in the house to the
raising of silk worms, and the women of
the household make a little pin money in
this way, at no great expenditure of time
or strength. Many an Umbrian dame has
unbuttoned her dress to show me a little
muslin bag of tiny black eggs which she
was hatching, and in which were centered
her future hopes of a new gown !

An Important Meeting
| Of Democratic Leaders Held at Pittsburg. George
| A. Jenks Endorsed for Senator.
¥
t. PITTSBURG, Nov. 30.—An unannounced |
~ but important meeting of Democratic
leaders was held here to-day with national
j committéeeman J. M. Guffey most promi-
“nent in its deliberations. No statement
would be. made after adjournment by any
of the members present, but it is under-
stood that among the principal subjects
“discussed were the’ selection of a candidate
| for United States Senator, the successor of
, state chairman Garman (who it is said will
_ resign shortly ) and the future of the party
in general. ; * rl
«From the best information obtainable it
is more than probable that Hon. George
A. Jenks, late candidate for Governor, re-
ceived the endorsement for Senatorship,
and that the choice for state chairman will
be between William J. Brennen, of this
"eity, and B. F. Myers, of Harrisburg. - The
sentiment of the meeting was decidedly in
favor of fusion of Democratic and inde-
pendent Republican members of the state
Legislature. The conference will be con-
tinued to-morrow, after which some defi-
nite statement will be expected.
i Beside the local leaders there were pres-
lent from other places, Hon. George A.
"Jenks, representative W. T. Creasey, of
Columbia County; county chairman Lev
: McQuistion, of Butler county; ex-chairman
Irwin, of Washington, and Senator Dun-
"lap, of Beaver. :
The town of Bethelehem is shaped in the
form of ‘a crescent, descending, terrace by
} terrace, the side of the hill on which it is
{ built. On one of these terraces are group-
; ed the massive buildings of the Latin and
| Greek convents, hetween which stands the
! basilica, charming the eye by the peculiar
| grace of its lines. All the houses are dis-
| tinetly Jewish in appearance, with flat
| roofs capped by cupolas, and many, of them
have pointed archways which offer pleasant
| places for repose in hours of sun or shade.
| This creeping of the houses down into
| fhe very gardens of the valley heightens
wonderfully the beauty of the landscape;
while in the background, toward the Dead
Sea, the mountains of Moab tower ma-
: jestically above the gentle undulations of
i hill and vale. Every feature of this never-
| to-be-forgotten scene is full of sacred
i significance. In front of the city youw are
| shown the field where Ruth and Boaz met,
and nearby is the spot where the shep-
herds were told of our Saviour’s birth. At
a point still nearer the crescent-shaped city
is the well from
drink after doing battle. A little’ farther
on, and quite by itself, is the tomb of
Rachel, beyond which are other battle-
fields mentioned in the Bible.— Century
Magazine. :
Nature Heats the Town.
C. J. Sinsel, a well-known fruit grower
and business man of Boise, Idaho, is
ples. In speaking of the advantages en-
joyed by his home town, he said: We
have the advantage over every city in the
Union when it comes to a water supply.
‘We burn no fires, we bave no boilers, and
there is not a heatingstove in. the city. No,
we did not have electricity to heat with
cither, he said, ‘‘for we are supplied ‘with
water, It is piped into all the blocks and
houses and conducted to the radiators.
The heat thus obtained is always uniform.
The water is conducted from an artesian
ly a short distance from the eity. Another
phenomenon is the cold water supply. , On-
ly a half mile distant from the hot water
well is one of ice cold, sparkling water, the
purest in the world... We never use any
water is always almost ice cold. Boise
City has one of the finest natatoriums in
the world. 1t ranges in depth from 4 to
23 feet and is 60 feet wide and 220 feet
long: The water is the purest in the world
and of great remedial valune.”’ !

From the New York Evening Post.
Commenting on the election in this State
the New York Evening Post says: “It is the
greatest victory in Quay’s career, for he
has not only’ got a’ legislature which’ will
return hin to the Senate and do his will
in all other things, but he has also realized
his long cherished ambition ‘to’ ‘have a
‘Governor’ whom I own.” Pennsylvania
thus touches the lowest depth of" political
degredation ever reached by a’ State in the
Tnion.” fo !
