Food Is the strength maker. Just cnongh food, properly digested, makes the strong and healthy man or woman. Too much, too Uttle, or even the right quantity, not digested, will make anybody weak.

When your food ferments in your stomach and forms gas, causes dizziness, nausea, bad taste, sick headache, full feeling, nervousness, irritabil- ity, ete, you have indigestion. You are losing a part of your life. Every bour you are sick causes a loss of strength. The way to cure it is to take Shaker Digestive Cordial. A few doses will relieve.

G A great strike in the clothing and fur- nishing trades, which will affect some 50,- 000 men and women, is now spreading into towns like Halle, Stettin and Mannheim, in Germany. The chief demand is the sup- pression of the sweaters. The tobacco stemmery of T. D. Luckett & Co., in Clarksville, Tenn., was burned Friday night, and 1,500,000 pounds of tobac- co stock was destroyed. The loss is $80,000. Robert Williams, colored, shot and almost instantly killed Policeman John F. Suggs in Montgomery, Ala., Friday night. The negro was afterward taken from jail and hanged by a mob. The sound money democrats of Texas held a conference at Galveston Saturday, and decided to make their fight im the local primaries instead of cutting from the free silver element of the party. Miss Clara Barton and her colleagues of the Red Cross Society have arrived at Con- stantinople. The Hawatian legislature will meet tomor- row. For the first time since his appointment as an associate justice, Rufus W. Peckham yesterday took his seat upon the bench in the United States circuit court of appeals for the southern district of New York. George Demates and James Miller, two twelve-year-old lads, had a difficulty yester- day at Columbia, S. C., when the former was struck over the heart with a small piece of iron and instantly killed. , The second grand battle of flowers took place at Nice yesterday on the promenade des Anglaise. The prize winners included Miss Beardslee of New York and the Misses North of Chicago. The officials of the British foreign office confirm the newspaper reports saying that a detachment of British marines, among others, have been landed at Chemulpo and sent to Seoul, capital of Corea, in order to protect the British legation there. SS Se Got the Worst of It. Edward F. Gafford, a young man who is by no means a stranger in police circles, appeared in Judge Miller’s court today, and his condition showed that he had tackled the wrong man. It usually happens that when he ‘appears he is in good condition, but this morning it was found necessary to have him sent to the Emergency Hospital for treatment. His eyes were badly dis- colored and swollen, and the doctors found it necessary to cover one of them with a bandage. It appeared in evidence that he was released from the workhouse yester- day, and when he reached 15th and H streets northeast he was under the in- fluence of liquor. Entering Clements’ feed store, he accused parties in there of having caused his arrest several weeks before, and announced that he was going to fix them for it. Following the use of bad and threatening languuge, he picked up a shovel and would probably have brained one of the men had not John Rocker, the clerk, taken part in the fight. He disarmed Gafford, and the latter threw him against the wall. Rocker then turned upon him and gave him the beating which he will not forget for some time. Gafford said he was drunk and did not recollect all the circumstances of yester- day’s occurrence. Judge Miller recalled other rows in which Gafford had figured. He recalled _an unprovoked assavit com- mitted by Gafford on another man, and concluded the case by giving him sixty days in jail. For the profanity a fine of $5 was imposed. — IF YOU NEED A TONIC Use Horsford’s Acid Phosphate. It stimulates the stomach, nourishes the nerves, builds the brain tissue. A wonderful tonic.

Last night’s meeting of the committee of ’96 of the Christian Endeavor Union was devoted principally to a consideration of the plans submitted by the music commit- tee through Charles S. Clark, chairman. It is proposed to form a mammoth chorus of not less than 4,000 members, to be known as the '96 Convention Chorus, and to di- vide it into four sections. Members of Christian Endeavor societies, members of church congregations, members of other young people's religious organizations, and such other young people as may desire to Join and are deemed suitable are eligible to membership in the chorus. The first meet- ing of the chorus will be held February 25, in the Mount Vernon Place M. E. Churca, when the work of organization and training will be begun. - An invocation hymn has been written for and dedicated to the fifteenth international convention by Mr. John Hay. The tune “Federal Street” was recom- mended and adopted for the hymn, and the thanks of the committee were unanimously voted to Mr. Hay. Music Circular. The following circular was submitted by Mr. Clark and ordered printed: “Fellow Endeavorers: The preparations for the fifteenth international C. E. con- vention are now engrossing the thoughts of local Endeavorers. The magnitude of the undertaking is appearing to them and to the public at large. Washington expects the largest convention ever held. It ulso wants it to be the best. “No one thing will determine that desired result more than the convention music. It will be given special prominence this year. Every effort will be put forth to make it in- spiring and uplifting, a memorable feature of the convention. “It is confidently believed that our music- loving young people will rally to the sup- port of this effort and make it a success. “A chorus of 4,000 voices will be needed. It be divided into sections for the several great meeting places. The members of the chorus will have seats reserved for them. They will be the best both for hearing and seeing the speakers. “The regular sessions of the convention will be as follows: Thursday, morning end evening, July 8; Friday, morning and even- ing, July 9; Saturday, morning, July 10; Monday, morning and evening, July 12. “This ‘arrangement of services will Jeave a large part of the day free for rest or other uses. “Choirs will be organized immediately in every Christian Endeavor Society. These choirs will be drilled in the convention music by the members of the auxiliary mu- sic committee chosen for that purpose. In due time, these choirs will be assembled in sections and trained in chorus singing by competent directors. Other Business. After disposing of the’ question of con- vention music the following ‘appointments were made upon the headquarters section of the reception.committee: A. G. Walker of the E Street Baptist Church, James C. Adkins and Jesse Adkins of the Ninth Street Christian Church, H. E. Davis of the Hyattsville Presbyterian Church, and W. H.

A conditional assignment was order d the conmittee of three, which consists of Messrs. Shand, Smith and Sleman was em- powered to make minor changes if neces- sary. Jerome F.

McClelland of the North Presby- terian Church ware appointed members of that committee. The press committee was authorized to have an information bulletin printed and sent out to religicus and secular newspa- pers throughout the cou and to leading Christian Endeavor workers everywhere. . Grace and Berean Baptist and Douglas Memorial M. E. churches were offered for convention purposes. A letter received from the president of the C. E.

Rex, king of the carnival, arrived In New Orlcans yesterday afternoon on the revenue cutter Forward, wilh the largest retinue in his history. Besides his usual court, a largely augmented column of local militia and an entirely new battalion of the naval reserve, there were three military com- mands from the interior of the state, crack companies from St. Paul and Min- neapolis and five hundred Essenino knights from Massachusetts and Kentucky. Car- diaals Satolli and Gibbons and many Cath- olic leaders, the Illinois Club, the Mich- igan Press Association and many other notables viewed the parade. Proteus paraded last night. was the animal kingdom, twenty cars. Under the guise of attributing to the ani- mals the forms, fa@s and crazes that af- fect society, Proteus struck hard at many a funny social custom of the present time. The abused habit of rosy after-dinner specches was struck at in the “royal ban- quet.” The funny features of the after- noon teas were on another float. The exclusively elaborate decorations at home functions were burlesqued on the “at home” car. The inharmonious glee club, the prize fisht, the elaborately fashion- able dress on hunting expeditions and the excess of dissipation on fishing trips were all appropriately gotten up. Everything was full of funny suggestions and witty satire upon society. The tableaus were conceived by a master mind and executed with a hand fully as careful of detail. Some of the elaborate costumes were con- structed of natural feathers, and were superb specimens of the costumers’ art. The entertainment was concluded with a magnificent ball at the opera house. —__-+e--— The Mock Congress, The mock congress which has been in ses- sion for the past month at the assembly rooms of the Colored Y.
