Sedentary Habits. TROUP OF ACTING HOR8E8 Washington, Sept 21.—There is a chance that Maj. Warner will be Commissioner Tanner's successor. An enormous pressure is being brought to bear upon him, and although he is as much averse to accepting the place as he was last Monday, his objections •ilijay be overborne, and it is possible that today bis commission will be signed by the president, with his knowledge and consent Maj. Warnar has gone to Deer Park, accompanied by Secretary Noble. The secretary of the interior is determined that Maj. Warner shall accept the position. Thursday flight he received from the president information that be would not be fully satisfied with twf fthor man as commissioner of pensions, ao4 li# wished to seo Maj. Warner with a view to fjpiwlDg bim again to accept the position. Maj. Warner called at the interior department on his w*f to the Baltimore and Ohio rajJrCwl station, where he expected to take the 11(20 a. m. (of Chicago, on his way to Kansas City. CoL Fellows objected to the postponement. He said no one had interfered with the coming of the witness. It was a trick. "I say that neither Julius Dexter nor any other living man has interfered with the coming of any witness," he thundered. The colonel was going on with flashing eyes and quivering lips, mounting to wild flights of rhetoric, when Counselor Brooke asked: "Are you addressing the court or jury P "Ho is addressing me, Mr. Brooke," said the recorder, icily. He denied the motion to adjourn until Saturday, but adjourned over until Monday to give the defendant every opportunity, relying on the statement made by the counsel that the witness would be here Saturday. London, Sept. 31.—A gentleman whose relations with Mr. Gladstone are of the closest, and who is at present visiting the Grand Old Man at Hawarden, writes from there to say that Mr. Gladstone is determined to offer at the coming session of parliament the most uncompromising opposition to the scheme of denominational education for Ireland outlined by Mr. Balfour in the closing hours of the last session, and generally known as the Irish university proposal. While prepared to oppose any measure of this sort, Mr. Gladstone does not expect to precipitate a rupture with the Nationalists. These, he is satisfied, will be anything but united in support of Mr. Balfour's scheme, and whatever differences may develop on this subject, it is certain that the interests of the great bulk of the Liberal party and those of the Irish Home Rulers are too closely identified to admit of any serious quarrel. Michael Rowe has been appointed postmaster at Irondale, N. Y., a fourth clo-ss office. Washington, D. C., Sept. 21.—The politicians who have been expecting that the President would to-day announce his choice for the vacant Pensions Oommiesiontrship are destined to be disappointed. The field had up to this morning narrowed down to Warner and Glen. Merrill, of Boston. Warner was Harrison's first choice, but Warner to-day left for Si. Louie, after a conference with the President at Deer Park,and from what could be learned relative to that conference and from the major's actions and demeanor afterwards it is pretty certain that he positively declined to accept. This morning a telegram was received from Qen. Merrill which absolutely and unqualifiedly refuses the Commissionership. These two declinations have put the President in a quandary before which the first one becomes insignificant. Qen. Lucius Fairchild's name is being frequently mentioned, and it is by no means improbable that he is under consideration at the Executive end of the administration. Fkirchild is very popular with the old soldiers, a representative Westerner, and his appointment would give good satisfaction. Nothiog will be done in the matter until next week. In this age of push and worry, the business man and the professional man are alike unable to devote any adequate lime to exercise. In the daily round of toil and pleasure, no suitable provision is made for that Important function, and the result ia that men ot sedentary habits become subjeot to many forms of ailments arising from a sluggish or torpid liver. Constipation, sick headache, biliousness and dyspepsia are all due to the improper action ef the liver. Dr. Pieroe's Pleasant Purgative Pellets cure these troubles by restoring the liver to its normal ootid ilion. REAL SHAWNEE INDIANS. ODR OWR BAND AND ORCHESTRA. Special Car of Scenery.

In defense he drew his revolver and critically wounded the Italian. The offlcor escaped with slight injuries. "But" "Sit down this moment, sir I" and the recorder became red with anger. Clearing Away the Debris. To the People of Pittston and Parncll and Gladstone in Harmony. With the break of day was started afresh the work of removing the debris of the demolished houses, and willing hands defter ously wielded picks, axes and shovels ob tained for them by the city engineer. "Your honor can bid me be seated," said tho counselor in slow, measured tones, "but rour honor cannot threaten me." "81$ down, sir) J have listened patiently long enough to yojir interruptions. I postpone until Monday at 11 o'clock," After adjournment it seemed once as i' Col. Fellows and Mr. Brooke might come to blows, so warm was the argument. Iverf counsel allege a conspiracy to ruin their pJienfc, with the trustees of the Meyer estaDx at the hea# Before leaving England on his trip to Paris recently Mr. Gladstone had a long Interview with Mr. Parnell, in which the relations between the Liberals and the Home Rulers were discussed, and in the course of which the Catholic university measure received its share of attention. The two statesmen parted the best of friends and with a thorough understanding on all subjects concerning which differences might have been expected to arise. This correspondent at Hawarden ridicules the suggestion that the Parnellites will support the Salisbury government, or that any understanding whatever exists between Mr. Parnell and Mr. Balfour. MRS, HAMILTON RESIGNEQ. Vicinity, Again Askt-il to Accept. Traveler* are Pleased. Secretary Noble laid before him the presldent's wishes iff tbe matter, and asked him if he would go to Deer Park with him (Noble). Maj. Warner consented fa go in the afternoon and he and the secretary WPVO passengers on the 8 o'clock train, Maj. Warner left the city he said to a close friemj that he would not say that he would not accept the appointment under any conditions, but he was as firmly averse to accepting ii as he had bean before. He did not know what arguments the president bad to advance, and he dlfj not think It would be fair to announce an unalterable determination in advance o! their interview. She Solaces Herself with Cigarettes—Hei Counsel Censured.

There is no communication whatever between those portions of the citj lying east and west of the ruins, for Cham plain street, which wimls along the base of Cape Diamond, beneath the citadel, and ii the only thoroughfare for which there it space between the rivor and the oliff, is much more formidably barricaded today against commerce and traffic than it wai against the brave Montgomery on the fatal December night in 1775 when he le4 his (taring assault upon a British battery in tbii same little street.

Mr. Gladstone says that he regards Secretary Balfour's Irish university endowment scheme as a lightning conductor, intended to divert the stroke that would otherwise fall upon the Parnell commission. Great Astonishment It is the common belief of lawyers that had it not been for the statement made by Mrs. Hamilton on her cross-examination, that Mr. Hamilton stood between her and thC nurse when she did the there would have been at least a disagreement of the jury, if not an acquittal. It is maintained by Mrs. Hamilton's friends that she is not penniless, but has at least 12,700 in bank, be sides considerable valuable jewelry, Mrs. Hamilton will probab)y be conveyed to the state prison In Trenton on Monday morning.

Sedentary Habits. TROUP OF ACTING HOR8E8 Washington, Sept 21.—There is a chance that Maj. Warner will be Commissioner Tanner's successor. An enormous pressure is being brought to bear upon him, and although he is as much averse to accepting the place as he was last Monday, his objections •ilijay be overborne, and it is possible that today bis commission will be signed by the president, with his knowledge and consent Maj. Warnar has gone to Deer Park, accompanied by Secretary Noble. The secretary of the interior is determined that Maj. Warner shall accept the position. Thursday flight he received from the president information that be would not be fully satisfied with twf fthor man as commissioner of pensions, ao4 li# wished to seo Maj. Warner with a view to fjpiwlDg bim again to accept the position. Maj. Warner called at the interior department on his w*f to the Baltimore and Ohio rajJrCwl station, where he expected to take the 11(20 a. m. (of Chicago, on his way to Kansas City. CoL Fellows objected to the postponement. He said no one had interfered with the coming of the witness. It was a trick. "I say that neither Julius Dexter nor any other living man has interfered with the coming of any witness," he thundered. The colonel was going on with flashing eyes and quivering lips, mounting to wild flights of rhetoric, when Counselor Brooke asked: "Are you addressing the court or jury P "Ho is addressing me, Mr. Brooke," said the recorder, icily. He denied the motion to adjourn until Saturday, but adjourned over until Monday to give the defendant every opportunity, relying on the statement made by the counsel that the witness would be here Saturday. London, Sept. 31.—A gentleman whose relations with Mr. Gladstone are of the closest, and who is at present visiting the Grand Old Man at Hawarden, writes from there to say that Mr. Gladstone is determined to offer at the coming session of parliament the most uncompromising opposition to the scheme of denominational education for Ireland outlined by Mr. Balfour in the closing hours of the last session, and generally known as the Irish university proposal. While prepared to oppose any measure of this sort, Mr. Gladstone does not expect to precipitate a rupture with the Nationalists. These, he is satisfied, will be anything but united in support of Mr. Balfour's scheme, and whatever differences may develop on this subject, it is certain that the interests of the great bulk of the Liberal party and those of the Irish Home Rulers are too closely identified to admit of any serious quarrel. Michael Rowe has been appointed postmaster at Irondale, N. Y., a fourth clo-ss office. Washington, D. C., Sept. 21.—The politicians who have been expecting that the President would to-day announce his choice for the vacant Pensions Oommiesiontrship are destined to be disappointed. The field had up to this morning narrowed down to Warner and Glen. Merrill, of Boston. Warner was Harrison's first choice, but Warner to-day left for Si. Louie, after a conference with the President at Deer Park,and from what could be learned relative to that conference and from the major's actions and demeanor afterwards it is pretty certain that he positively declined to accept. This morning a telegram was received from Qen. Merrill which absolutely and unqualifiedly refuses the Commissionership. These two declinations have put the President in a quandary before which the first one becomes insignificant. Qen. Lucius Fairchild's name is being frequently mentioned, and it is by no means improbable that he is under consideration at the Executive end of the administration. Fkirchild is very popular with the old soldiers, a representative Westerner, and his appointment would give good satisfaction. Nothiog will be done in the matter until next week. In this age of push and worry, the business man and the professional man are alike unable to devote any adequate lime to exercise. In the daily round of toil and pleasure, no suitable provision is made for that Important function, and the result ia that men ot sedentary habits become subjeot to many forms of ailments arising from a sluggish or torpid liver. Constipation, sick headache, biliousness and dyspepsia are all due to the improper action ef the liver. Dr. Pieroe's Pleasant Purgative Pellets cure these troubles by restoring the liver to its normal ootid ilion. REAL SHAWNEE INDIANS. ODR OWR BAND AND ORCHESTRA. Special Car of Scenery.

"If you repeat that, sir, I will commit you,w said Recorder Smyth sharply. Police Officer Hughes, of Portland, Me., was stabbed five times by an Italian whom he had arrested. In defense he drew his revolver and critically wounded the Italian. The offlcor escaped with slight injuries. "But" "Sit down this moment, sir I" and the recorder became red with anger. Clearing Away the Debris. To the People of Pittston and Parncll and Gladstone in Harmony. With the break of day was started afresh the work of removing the debris of the demolished houses, and willing hands defter ously wielded picks, axes and shovels ob tained for them by the city engineer. "Your honor can bid me be seated," said tho counselor in slow, measured tones, "but rour honor cannot threaten me." "81$ down, sir) J have listened patiently long enough to yojir interruptions. I postpone until Monday at 11 o'clock," After adjournment it seemed once as i' Col. Fellows and Mr. Brooke might come to blows, so warm was the argument. Iverf counsel allege a conspiracy to ruin their pJienfc, with the trustees of the Meyer estaDx at the hea# Before leaving England on his trip to Paris recently Mr. Gladstone had a long Interview with Mr. Parnell, in which the relations between the Liberals and the Home Rulers were discussed, and in the course of which the Catholic university measure received its share of attention. The two statesmen parted the best of friends and with a thorough understanding on all subjects concerning which differences might have been expected to arise. This correspondent at Hawarden ridicules the suggestion that the Parnellites will support the Salisbury government, or that any understanding whatever exists between Mr. Parnell and Mr. Balfour. MRS, HAMILTON RESIGNEQ. Vicinity, Again Askt-il to Accept. Traveler* are Pleased. Secretary Noble laid before him the presldent's wishes iff tbe matter, and asked him if he would go to Deer Park with him (Noble). Maj. Warner consented fa go in the afternoon and he and the secretary WPVO passengers on the 8 o'clock train, Maj. Warner left the city he said to a close friemj that he would not say that he would not accept the appointment under any conditions, but he was as firmly averse to accepting ii as he had bean before. He did not know what arguments the president bad to advance, and he dlfj not think It would be fair to announce an unalterable determination in advance o! their interview. She Solaces Herself with Cigarettes—Hei Counsel Censured. The work of removing the broken timbers, bricks, mortar and niotsl of the demolished houses was a difficult and dangerous task, sc hemmed in ure the ruins aud rooks, with which they are mingled, between the oliff or the one side and immense piles of coal on thC other, stored up on the wharves which line the rear front. There is no communication whatever between those portions of the citj lying east and west of the ruins, for Cham plain street, which wimls along the base of Cape Diamond, beneath the citadel, and ii the only thoroughfare for which there it space between the rivor and the oliff, is much more formidably barricaded today against commerce and traffic than it wai against the brave Montgomery on the fatal December night in 1775 when he le4 his (taring assault upon a British battery in tbii same little street.

J., Sept. 21.—Mrs. Hamilton was quiet during the day and seemed to be making the best of her situation. She spent the morning smoking cigarettes and reading newspapers. Hi nee hei conviction she has been told by the few intimate friends with whom she has conversed that her counsel made a mistake in placing her on the witness stand and affording the prosecution an opportunity to attack her private character and bring out things regarding her past life.

After the addresses the permanent organization of the Chickamauge Memorial association was formed. Chattanooga, Tenn. Mr. Gladstone says that he regards Secretary Balfour's Irish university endowment scheme as a lightning conductor, intended to divert the stroke that would otherwise fall upon the Parnell commission. Great Astonishment It is the common belief of lawyers that had it not been for the statement made by Mrs. Hamilton on her cross-examination, that Mr. Hamilton stood between her and thC nurse when she did the there would have been at least a disagreement of the jury, if not an acquittal. It is maintained by Mrs. Hamilton's friends that she is not penniless, but has at least 12,700 in bank, be sides considerable valuable jewelry, Mrs. Hamilton will probab)y be conveyed to the state prison In Trenton on Monday morning.
