AFFAIRS SHAKERS. 2 AN INTERESTING, GOD-FEARING PEOPLE WHO HAVE GIVEN THE WORLD MANY IAI- PORTANT DISCOVERIES. ‘We may not accept their peculiar religions beliefs Ror can we enter into the spirit of thelr sacrifices. It fs not necessary to believe as they do, but we can and do respect thelr sincerity of purpose and the honor and uprightuess which marks all their business dealings. The Shakers have always been successful inven- tors, and some of the greatest of the conveniences of the present day found origin in their settle ments. In one particular they excel all other men or classes of men, and that is ir cultivation of med- Aeinal herbs and plants and thelr preparation for use. They have made it a study for more than one hundred years. It ts one of their peculiar indus- tries. Their lives have been devoted to it. ‘Their latest and greatest achievement is the Shaker Digestive Cordial. It ts not offered as a cure for all diseases. It does not pretend to be, but one disease it will cure, and that is indiges- ton, Sufferers who resort to its use have not long to wait to see the result. The effect is almost im- mediate. The first dose usually gives relief ant if continued a permanent cure will follaw. It not only cotitains already digested food, but it digests food ax well, thus toning up the general system. An interesting pamphlet is now being issued by the Shakers and can be had for the asking at almost any drug store. Try a twenty-five-cent bottle of Digestive Cordial and wee what it will do for you. oc27 ‘BARBER & ROSS, Cor. G and 11th Sts.

The registration, as stated in The Star, was -heavier than usual, about 60) new names having been added to the books sirce the last election. The Bryanites claim that many of the would-be voters are fraudulent, some being under age and others non-residents, and it is said they will prosecute those who can be located for perjury. The situation remains unchanged, and all the party managers are making a hard fight to win. This campaign will be long remembered, for it is the first in a long number of years in which it has not been certain beyond all shadow of doubt that the democrats would poll a large majority. There are many democrats who are op- posed to Bryan and the free silver plat- form who, on account of party principles. will vote for him, and then there are many more who will find it convenient “to 8° fishing” on election day. Political meetings were the order of the day in Alexandria last night, and much eloquence was displayed by the speakers. The opera house was comfortably filled with an audience under the auspices of the Alexandria Prohibition Club. Judge H. P. Moulton of Washington and Mr. E. B. Hig- gins of Baltimore were the speakers, and in eloquent speeches they called forth much enthusiasm, as they advocated the cause of the prohibition party. It is said that a large number of sound money demo- crats will vote the prohibition ticket rather than vote for Palmer and Buckner or Mc- K.nley and Hobart. They are said to be in favor of anybody to beat Bryan and his principles. In Sarepta Hall there was the degaeed weekly meeting of the Bryan, Sewall and Rixey Club, with a large attendance. Mr. James R. Caton, one of the most promi- nent members of the Alexandria bar, ad- dressed the club on the issue of the day. Mr. Caton’s remarks were forceful and re- ceived with rounds of applause. It needed only the mention of the name of Bry: to set the audience wild. Police Court. At a special session of ‘police court held last night Mayor Thompson disposed of the following cases: Charles Churchman, Frank Jeffries, Maniy Hicks, George Woois, Robt. Knight and Thomas Hall, small white boys, charged with disorderly conduct in the Southern railway yards; fined $1 each. William Rogers; charge, assault and beat- ing George W. Dodson; fined $7. Mrs. Ellen Eugene; charge, selling iiquor on Sunday and without a license; dismissed for want of evidence. “Jumbo” Grady, a small colored boy: charge, stealing a lot of cranberries from the store of G. Wm. Ramsay; fined $5. At the regular session of court this. morn- ing the case of James Wilson, George Col lins and Dennis O'Donnell, three hol was heard; charge, trespassing on the prop- erty of the Southern railroad; fined $5 each. County Court. In the Alexandria county court yesterday, Judge Chichester presiding, the following cases were disposed of: Com. agt. Trout and Harris, late justices of the peace, indicted fcr embezzlement of fines; indictments dis- missed, and upon motion each was fined $20 and costs. Administration upon the estate of Ham ton Dye was granted to Mary E. Heinbach, who was also appointed guardian of infani aha of deceased. Th 11 of John~Duncan was adm‘tted to and Martha Duncan quaiiicd as execurrix. Mary E. 3Villiams wa; appointed adminis- ae © the estate or B. F. Williams, Se taney and Marshall agt. W., A ana F. c. Co., coutinued. In consequence of the indisposition of Judge Chichester the criminal cases were continued till next term. The King Street Sewer. The work on the King street sewer, which has been going on for several months past, seems to be almost as slow as the work on the new city post offi building in Washington. It has been said several times that “the entire work will be completed next week,” but next week, like “tomorrow,” seems never to have come. The work which remains to be done could, it seems, be completed in short order if sufficient force was put to work on it. King street is in a very dilapidated condi- tion, and very, very dirty, and it seems impossible for it to be cleaned until the sewer is completed. The work of putting in catch basins is all that has to be done. : Case Postponed. The case of Quale against the Washiz; ton, Alexandria and Mount Vernon electric railway, which was to have been tried in the corporation court yesterday, was post- poned until Thursday next. H. K. Field Was substituted as trustee in place of W. D. Stewart, deceased, for the Grigg estate. Brevities. Mr. John F. Rixey, democratic candidate for Congress from the eighth district, will speuk in the Opera House tonight. The children of Mr. R. E. Knight have recovered from an attack of scarlet fever. The Ladies’ Aid Society of the “Village Chapel” will give an oyster supper this evening. Portner’s brewery was inspected by a revenue agent yesterday. Gilbert Walden, the elocutionist, will be the attraction in the lecture room of St. Paul’s Church tomorrow night, under the auspices of St. Luke's Circle of King's Daughters. The steamer Samuel J. Pentz has been taken to Baltimore for an overhauling. ‘The annual athletic sports at the Episco- pal High School will take place Novem- r 7. Mr. John Lucas’ dancing class had a re- ception in Braddock Hall last night. One candidate was initiated at the meet- ing of Belle Haven Council, No. 61, Junior Order United American Mechanics, last night. The Burnt Hay Wagon. A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun from Frederick, Md., says: The Lakeland Bryan and Sewall Club of Prince George's county, who were arrested at Hyattstown Saturday, charged with set- ting fire to a load of hay, which also com- pletely destroyed the wagon of John Grimes ot Clarksburg, Montgomery county, were arraigned before a magistrate at Boyd's Saturday evening and acquitted of the charge. The members testified that they Saw no one in their party strike a match, but, on the contrary, a number of witnesses were produced who ‘swore that Mr. Grimes was seated on top of the load of hay smok- ing a pipe, which he admitted. It is now thought that the hay ignited from sparks from the pipe. ——_~++ Mr. Carlisle Addresses Thousands. Secretary John G. Carlisle spoke in the Tabernacle at Owensboro’, Ky., yesterday afternoon to 7,000 people. He was given the. most respectful attention, and there were no attempts at anything like disorder. ‘There were a large number of ladies in the audience, and many of them sent flowers to the stage. ————— Smith to Be Hanged December 18. Gov. Lowndes has fixed December 18 as the date for the execution of James Smith, the negro murderer of Miss Margaret Drown of Prince George's county, Md. Smith Is now in the Baltimore city jail, where he will be kept until the morning of the day of his execution, when he will be taken to Upper Marlboro’ and hanged soon after his arrival. To take a criminal on such a ride to death is unusual, but it is feared if the negro is left a single night in Marlboro’ jail he will be lynched. The death warrant has not yet been read to Smith, nor has he been informed of the date set for his execution. Now that the date of execution has been set a death watch will be kept over him in, the jail. NEGLECT OF THE HAIR OFTEN DESTROYS ITS vitality and natural hue and causes it to fall out.

The Serious Troubles That May Come Upon People at This Time of Year. “Oh, it's only a cold.” Such a remark as this is often heard at this time of the year, when the weather ts chilly. The peo- ple who make ch a remark seem to forget that a cold is really a dangerous condition of the system, a weak spot, a direase, A cold may lead to a cough, and then to pneumonia, or it may sow the seeds of consumption. For this reason it is dan- gerous to neglect a cold. It ts better te stamp it ont at once. Fortunately there ts one means of do- ing this that is aiways sa! ind reliah What it ts and what it will do can be seen from the fol- lowing: Mr. ©. Connor, 271 Scott street, Brooklyn, says: “Nome time ago I was stricken down with congestion of the lungs, and, though having the best medical attendence, I di 1 had @ cough that seemed to contract my cies: to halt its natural size. I was in constant pain, and had ko rest day or ulght.

Tactics Adopted by a Bryan Crowd te Silence a Sound Money Man. From the Baltimore Sun, today. An express wagon, -with three speakers and a band of music, started out last night from the headquarters of the Commercial Sound Money Law and Order League, on North Liberty street. The jntention was to make curhstone speeches at a number of points in the cen- ter of the city, but at the very first stop- ping place, the corner of South and Balti- more streets, those in the wagon found that it was easier to plan speeches than It was to deliver them. Mr. Preston Brooks stood up in the wagon, and, leaning out on the side nearest the pavement, over a muslin inscription, “My Country, "Tis For Thee,” began to point out the advantages of an honest dol- lar. A crowd of two or three hundred soon thered, but, unfortunately for Mr Brooks and his fellow-laborers, they had happened upon a throng of Bryan sympa- thizers. Every sentence uttered for sound money was interrupted by cheers for Bryan, by shouts for free silver, the object being to break up the meeting. Mr. Brooks gave up the attempt in two or three min- utes, and amid the tossing of honest money literature and mingled cheers and groans from the Bryanites, the horses were started, and the wagon moved off down Baltimore street toward Gay. A number of stopping places were made later in the night, and at each place crowds soon collected to hear the speakers, who, in addition to Mr. Brooks, included Mr. Harry J. Taylor and Mr."C. H. Van- daneker, The league intends to contines the wagon trips each night until election day. SS a Army Chaplain Appointed. ‘The President has appointed Rev. R.
