Sound Reasons for Approval

There are several cosent reasons why th* medical profession recommend and the public prefer Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters above the ordinary cathartics. It does not drench and weaken the bowels, but assists rather than forces nature to act; It Is botanic and safe; Its action is never preceded by an Internal earthquake like that produced by a drastic purgative. For forty-flve years past it has been a household remedy for liver, stomach and kidney trouble. Scarron wrote love verses to about a dozen young women before he met Francoise D’Aubigne, afterwards the famous Madam de Maintenon, the Indrganatic wife of Louis XIV.

WISE WOMEN.

Those Who Heed the First Symptoms of Nervous Derangement. Special from Mrs. Pinkham. A dull, aching pain at the lower part of the back and a sensation of little rills of heat, or chills running down the spine, are symptoms- .of general womb derangement. • If these symptoms are not accompanied by leucorrhoea, they axe4Mp^aK|C > OM>| precursors of that •"5 weakness.

It must be a medicine with specific virtues. As a friend, a woman friend, let me advise the use of Lydia E Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. I If your case has progressed so that a troublesome discharge is already established, do not delay, take the Vegetable Compound at once, so as to tone Up your whole nervous system; you can get it at any reliable drug store. You ought also to use a local application, or else the corrosive discharge will set up an inflammation and hardening of the parts. Mrs. Pinkham’s Sanative Wash is put up in packets at 25 cents each. To relieve this painful condition this Sanative Wash is worth its weight in gold. i Mrs. George W. Shepard,Watervliet, N. Y., says : “I am glad to state that I am cured from the worst form of female weakness. I was troubled very much with leucorrhoea, bearing-down pains and backache. Before using Mrs. Pinkham’s Remedies it seemed that I had no strength at all. I was in pain all over. I began to feel better after taking the first dose of Vegetable Compound. I have used five bottles, and I feel like a new woman. I know ts other suffering women would only try it, it would help them.”

GREAT HOST FOR GOD.

TWENTY THOUSAND CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORERS MEET. Convention the Most Successful Ever Held—Rev. Francis F. Clark, Father of the Movement—History of the Society—Mighty Growth Shown. Every Land Represented. San Francisco correspondence: When Hev. E. R. Dilke tapped with his gavel in Mechanics’ Pavilion Thursday morning he called to order the greatest convention California has ever seen. Ten thousand Christian Endeavorers faced the speaker, men and women from every quarter of. the land, representing every part of the world. At the same time in Woodward’s pavilion an overflow convention almost as large opened for business. San Francisco was turned over uncondi-

tionally to the vigorous young delegates vho had journeyed across alkali plains, through deserts, under burning suns and over banks of snow to plant their banner on the Pacific coast. On every side could be seen the colors of the Christian warriors. At every turn were met the earnest faces of the advocates of higher and better lives. The scenes at the pavilion resembled a national political convention, except that more women were in evidence on this occasion than usually attend great gatherings. In fact, fully two-thirds of the delegates were of the gentler sex. But their presence tended t<r make the scene

more striking in color and more animated in spirit. All the streets in the business district of the city and in the neighborhood of the different headquarters were congested with the thousands of visitors. History of the Society. The story back of this immense gathering in the land of flowers has a romantic interest that lifts it far above the commonplace. But sixteen years ago this world-wide organization had a humble birth in a little, out-of-the-way church in Maine. To-day there are 48,000 societies, with a membership of 7,000,000 young people in every part of the civilized world, from Spain to the Samoan Islands, in the south seas, and from Australia to Alaska. In this time 10,000,000 meetings have been held by Christian Endeavorers. Copies of the constitution numbering 5,000,000 have been printed in forty languages, and at least 15,000,000 copies of the pledge. More than 1,000,000 associate members have joined the church, and more than $2,000,000 has been given for denominational purposes. Such, in brief, is the remarkable history of one of the most conspicuous religious movements of all times. The immense meeting on the Pacific slope has eclipsed all previous reunions. The central meeting place was Mechanics’ Pavilion, which occupies an entire square in the heart of that western metropolis, and has seating accommodations for 10,000 persons. The second great meeting place was Woodward’s Pavilion, which is about ten minutes’ walk from the central rendezvous. It is an octagonal building with a seating capacity of 7,000. These two places of meeting were supplemented almost every hour in the day with gatherings in the various churches. Even the Chinese churches and a mariners’ church hospitably throwing open their doors. This leligious siege of San Francisco was nothing if not picturesque. It was a nineteenth century “doings” which doubtless m:>de the monastic saints of long ago turn uneasily in their graves. The Christian Endeavorer goes in for a happy religion, and if he cannot vent his exuberance in a long and loud hosanna he resorts to r. “yell” in characteristic college boy fashion. Most interesting of all the meetings were the services in out-of-the-way places. Prayer and song and exhortation were made by wandering bands before the heathen temples in Chinatown, in the magnificent gambling saloons, among the sailors, on the wharves, in the jails and in the slums, in the different factories, in the hospitals—in fact, wherever the Christian Endeavorer could plant his two feet and his symbolic flag. Sunrise Prayer Meetings. One of the features was the sunrise prayer meetings down on the beach of beautiful Golden Gate. Each morning the sailors were invited to join with representatives of almost every port they touch in their voyages to sing and to pray. The complete program fqr the convention would fill a good-sized book. Of special interest were the great choruses of hundreds of voices which sang in the two great meeting places. The first gun was filed Wednesday night, with twelve simultaneous meetings, Jed by twelve wellknown divines from every part of the nation. At the same time Kev. J. Lester Wells of Jersey City, N. J., gave a stereopticon lecture in Metropolitan Temple on “Christian Endeavor Among the Life Savers,” 1 Long before the hour appointed for the

opening of th* convention on ThotMay every mat In th* vast pavilion, which accommodates over 10,000 people, _jr as occupied. Promptly at 9:30 the greit gathering was called to order by Rev. E. R. Wilke of San Francisco, and after a musical welcome by the choir, brief devotional exercises were conducted by Rev. Philip F. King of Bouton, Tex. Then the welcome of the committee of ’97 was delivered by Rolla V. Watt, who spoke in part us follows: This morning our dreams are realized, our hopes are fulUlled, our prayers are answered; for we witness the assembling of an international Christian Endeavor convention for the first time on the shores of the mighty Pacific. God bless you. We are glad yon are here; we welcome; thrice welcome. We welcome you first and above all for the sake of our Master, whose banner of love Is over all and whose servants you are. He had said if xe lift Him up. He will draw all men unto H'mself, and just as we represent Him in our thoughts, our words, our deeds, in our dally Ilves, so men will see Him. He holds in His hands the solution of all our problems—social, political and spiritual. It Is yurt of Christian Endeavor to take these preferred gifts and offer them to mankind. We welcome you. therefore, because you are seeking to present the Savior of Mankind to the world, that the world can be made better. After the applause which followed the remarks of Mr. Watt had subsided, the welcome of the Golden Gate pastors was given by the Rev. John Hemphill. Lieut. Gov. Jeter then welcomed the delegates and their friends on behalf of the State of California. An unthern was rendered by the choir, and, in behalf of the visiting Endeuvorers, the Rev. Ira Landrith of Nashville; Tenn., responded to the various addresses of welcome.

President Clark's Message. The subject of the annual message of the president, the Rev. Francis E. Clark, D. D., was “A World-Encircling Religious Movement; How Shall It Fulfill God’s Design?” He said in part: I have attended conventions, since I last met you. In the Metropolitan Tabernacle of London and lu the Beels of Bengal; In St. Anderw’s Hall of Glasgow and In the ancient capital of the Punjab; among our Irish Endeavorers In Belfast and ou the sunburnt plains of southern India; in crowded Berlin and on the lonely tablelands of the Transtaal; among the Alps of Switzerland and on the vast veldt of the Orange Free State; In sea-girt Stockholm and In the karoo of South Africa; In lordly Paris and In quiet Wellington; In the Cape of Good Hope; mid everywhere, amid all these diversities of custom and costume, of manners and methods, of languages and laws, I have found that the Christian Endeavor Ideals are substautlallly the same. Moreover, the people whom I have seen have been of diverse creeds and views of religious truth. All, to be sure, have acknowledged the supremacy of Jesus Christ as the Son of God and the only Savior of lost sinners. All have accepted the Bible as the word of God, and the Holy Spirit as the sanctifier, comforter and guide—ln sueh soil only can Christian Endeavor flourish. But

In minor particulars the creeds and forms of church government of these hospitable hosts of our society differ as widely as their complexions. The shade of tan on a man’s cheek does not make or unmake his manhood; the shade of bls creed does not make or unmake his Christianity. Our society then has these signs of a universal movement. It was born In obscurity and weakness. It has not owed its existence to human advocacy or ecclesiastical authority. It has spread to every land. It has been found adapted to every evangelical creed, to every form of church government nnd to every race and class and language ami condition of people. It has failed only where the principles Involved in our covenant pledge have been Ignored, or where It has been crushed out by denominational ityin answering the question of the subject, he t-aid the movement must be true to its fundamental idea; must necessarily be unifying; must be a pervasive force; must be sacrificial, and must listen to God’s voice and continually obey it. Continuing, he said: This Is a world movement, thank God, away from materialism, formalism and a barren ecclestastlclsm back to God himself. Endeavorers. let this be the motto, the purpose, the prayer, of this our coming seventeenth year: To abide In Christ, to surrender ourselves to Him, to let Him use ns. to think less of our efforts and more of His fullness, to seek a larger infilling from above, deeper draughts of His life, more emptiness of self, more fullness of Christ. Thus only will Christian Endeavor and all for which It has come to stand—Christian citizenship, Christian missions and a thousand forms of benevolence—receive ever fresh life and vigor. By Methodists and Baptists, by Presbyterians and Congregatlonalists, by friends nnd disciples of Christ, by Episcopalians and Lutherans, by adherents of the state churches of Germany and Sweden and Holland and Scotland and England, as well as by representatives of every free church, have

CONVENTION BANNER FOR 1897.

I bten kind.y received In the name of Christian Endeavor, and by every missionary society at work In India or Africa. Why? Because of the eloquent Indorsement which a common and universal method of Christian service renders to Its advocates. Only one denomination still seeks to prevent the Increase of Christian Endeavor societies, and that has Introduced Christian Endeavor principles, and, though we regret the absence of full fellowship, we are glad of the extension of the Ideas for which we siand—in that we rejoice, yea, and will rejoice. Statistics of the Society. The report of John Willis Baer, general secretary, contained the following: “In jBBI there was one society and fif-ty-seven members. In 1897 there are 50,780 societies and a total membership of 3,000,000. Of the States having more than 1,000 local societies, Pennsylvania leads, with 3,443; New York has 3,049; Ohio, 2,583; Illinois, 2,013; Ontario, 1,783; Indiana, 1,387; lowa, 1,336, and

Michigan. 1,071. Th**e figures do no include the Junior, Intermediate, Senio and Mothers’ societies. Pennsylvania leads the junior societies with 1,397; New York bis 1,288; Illinois, 993; Ohio, 970; California, 551; Indiana, 549; lowa, 518, nnd Massachusetts, 517. The banner given to the State that has made the largest gains goes this year to Ohio. The second junior banner goes from Mexico to Spain. There are 306 Intermediate societies, California leading with 51, Illinois having 44; Ohio, 32, and Pennsylvania. 27. The mothers’ societies number 70, Illinois leading with 30, Pennsylvania having 20 and Kansas 11. Twenty-seven senior societies have been organized, California, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania each having three nnd Connecticut two. “England has 3,925 societies; Australia, 2,124; Scotland. 433; Wales, 311; India, 250; Ireland, 1159; Madagascar, 93; France, 08; Mexico, 100; Japan. 66; West Indies, 63; Turkey. 41; China, 53; Africa, 52; Germany, 32—in all, 7,919 societies In other countries. In addition Canada has 3390. The badge banner for the greatest pro|K>rtionate increase in the number

of societies, now held by Scotland, will go to the Endeavorers on the Emerald Isle. “In the United States the Presbyterians have 5,531 young people’s and 2,934 junior societies; the Congregationalists have next, with 4,156 young people’s and 1,322 junior; Baptists, 2,640 young people’s and 1,080 junior; Cumberland Presbyterian, 867 young people’s and 361 junior; Methodist Protestants, 971 young people’s nnd 251 juniors; Lutherans, 869 young people’s nnd 324 juniors, nearly forty denominations being represented. “A missionary roll of honor contains the names of 10,468 societies that have giten nearly $500,000 to missions through their own denominational missionary boards. During the last eleven months 25,264 of the juniors have joined the church, and

from the young people’s societies, 187,125 —in all, 213,389.” Award of Endeavor Honora. Immediately after the reading of Secretary Baer’s report the badge of honor for the greatest increase in number of societies during the last year, which had been held in England, was retained and presented to the same country. The junior banner for the greatest increase in the number of societies, held by Pennsylvania for three years, was wrested from the Keystone State by Ohio. The next incident was the presentation of the banner to the country making the largest proportionate gain in number of societies during the last twelve months, which has been in possession of Scotland during the last year, it was won by Ireland. The junior badge limner given for the greatest proportionate increase in number of societies during the last twelve months was awarded to Spain. It had been in possession of Mexico.

CONFISCATE THE COAL.

Railroads Head Off a Famine by Gobbling Up All in Transit. Railroad companies Thursday issued orders to confiscate all coal being curried over their respective lines. It w r as issued because of the coal miners’ strike and impending coal famine. The roads on which the coal has been stopped are the heaviest carriers in the West, and include nearly all lines running out of Chicago. The number of estimated cars confiscated and the roads responsible for the seizure are as follows: Cars. Illinois Central 2,000 Wabash 2,500 Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul. 1,200 Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe... 1,800 Chicago, Burlington and Quincy.. 1,000 Chicago and Alton 2,700 Indiana, Illinois and lowa 1,500 Rock Islandl,3oo Monon 1,000 Totalls,ooo The seizure is made because of a recent Supreme Cqurt opinion which says that in case of strikes, the railroad companies have the right to confiscate any coal on its property, regardless of the consignee. This decision was reached on the ground that the railroad companies were the regular transmitters of the United States mail, and that the comfort and convenience of individual travelers should be given preference over manufacturing an<l industrial concerns. The railroad companies claim they are exercising their just rights in the confiscation, as they maintain their contracts with the coal concerns call for so many thousand tons a year and when strikes prevail they are simply taking their balance due in the contract instead of waiting until the b'ns were near empty as heretofore. In addition to the confiscating order the price of common soft coal jumped 40 cents a ton, while the soft screenings were rated at just double their customary value. Greek volunteers who left America for Athens to offer their services in the army of their fatherland, are returning to New York. They are greatly disappointed in arriving too late, not even being enrolled in the forces. The Sultan of Turkey is again in a yielding mood, it is said, and the European ambassadors seem to think that peace will follow according to their instructions and desires.

Poor Lo Behind the I'low.

William Bhakspeare, an Arapahoe Indian on the lower Shoshone agency, reports to' he Indian guide of Fort Washakie that the Indians on the subagency are working on their farms more Industriously this year than ever before. They are breaking up a large amount of new land, and where last year the sage brush was thick there are now good farms. He says: ‘“rhe old Indians always used to talk of going to war, and now they talk different; they tell us about farm lug, and bow to farm, and they tell us young men to work hard at farming. I have in about twelve acres of wheat, five of oats, one of potatoes, and a big garden of watermelons, squash and other vegetables. I have twenty-two acres this year Instead of ten last, and all the other Inu.ans are the same way, plowing much more land this ytmr than last.”—Lander, Wyo., letter to Denver Republican.

What Do the Children Drink at the Table?

Coffee and tea are injurious; they get tired of milk or water, and there Is but one other thing to give them, that Is, Graln-O, a new food drink that takes the place of coffee and tastes so much like it that even the parents can’t tell the difference. It Is the opposite to coffee, for instead of breaking down the nervous system (t builds it up, Instead of making one bilious It keeps the whole system In a healthy condition. Graln-O is a delicious table beverage made of pure grains, having the rich seal brown color of Mocha or Java. Graln-O Is not a medicine, but a food drink that every one likes, and every one of the family can drink without the least Injury. It costs only about onequarter as much as coffee.

WHY JOHN STARNES ISA HERMIT

Fled to the Mountains from Conscription and Kemaina in Seclnalon still. Thirty-five years ago John Starnes, then in the prime of manhood, 11 veil near Blacksburg, York County, 8. C., and but a few miles from the battlefields of Cowpens and Kings mountain, where the Americans whipped the British. But the proximity of the.battleflelds did not imbue a warlike spirit in tho breast of Starnes. The conscription officer cast covetous eyes on the mountaineer’s stalwart frame, and Starnes took the hint and to the woods almost simultaneously. They searched for him, but Starnes was a better runner than a fighter, and he kept out of the way, out of the war and in the woods. Ho had an old musket and a supply of ammunition, and the fare of the woods was better then that in the town. Starnes became fond of the life and when the war was over and conscription officers had lost their dreaded power Starnes still remained In the wilds of York. And there he is now living. His homo Is not a romantic cave In the rocks, but Is a curiously constructed, miserable looking hut, of much the shape of an Eskimo snowhouse, without a window, an‘d with a hole about two feet high which serves as a door, through which the hermit crawls. There is no fireplace in the house. When snow Is on the mountain and the north winds howl over the Blue ridge, the old man builds a fire at the entrance of his hut. Starnes Is not a picturesque figure. His long, white, unkempt hair and beard and the ragged clothes that can hardly hang on his frame make him an unprepossessing object, whose very name is used to scare children In the neighborhood. The hermit does not like to have visitors, and shows temper If questioned. He forages on bis neighbors. He has relatives who have offered him a home and means of living In comfort, but the hermit has declined all advances. His neighbors call him “Wild John Starnes.”—Boston Post.

The New Navy Rifle.

The strongest shooting gun in the world is the new Lee rifle made by the Winchester Repeating Artns Co., New Haven, Ct., for the U. S. navy. When fired there is a pressure on the breech of GO,000 pounds to the square inch. To build a gun that would withstand such tremendous strain was a great undertaking, but the Winchesters, with their vast and varied experience and wonderful plant, succeeded in turning out a gun entirely satisfactory in every way to the navy. Like all Winchester rifles they shoot to perfection, work smoothly and easily and are a strong, serviceable arms. The Winchester send a large illustrated catalogue free upon request.

It is stated on good authority that three persons out of every five In this country who have attained the age of 40 years, are more or less deaf in one or both ears. A large proportion of this deafness is caused by catarrh.

David's Flag.

King David’s banner—so called for want of a better name—has been formally adopted as a banner by a little band of Jews In Chicago, and the sight of the flag has raised In many Hearts a hope that the old dream of the reoccupation of Palestine by the tribes of Israel may become a reality. It Is a simple affair, this flag, merely" a piece of white silk, Bxs feet In size, with a double triangle of blue worked in the center. There is no Jew In Chicago who knows the true significance of the symbol. There is nothing In Biblical or Talmudic, or national literature by which its history can be traced. Despltt this the double triangle of blue is recognized and revered by Jews the world over. The symbol Is seen in many places and used In many ways, but so far as known the flag now owned in Chicago is the only one of Its kind In existence.

Crichton’s Accomplishments.

James Crichton, better remembered ns “The Admirable Orlchton," could read wrl’c and dispute In twelve languages.
