A HOUSE belonging to Capt. j. 6.
Bippus, of Oakland township, this
county, was burned on Friday night
last. The house was nearly new
one and was occupied bv two of the
Captains boys, in connection with the
care of the farm on which it was To-
Gated. The boys were absent at the

to the conclusion that the burning was
the act of an incendiary. There was
no insurance on the house.

WHEN you have an infamed eye. a
swelled head, or decayed and aching
tooth you do not take and fill your
stomach with>drugs to cure it, but ap-
ply cooling lstion or some soothing
narcotic directly to the parts. So if
you have O week or lame back, sore |
kidneys, profuse or scanty urine, or
the secretory system is clogged and
inactive you should use Prof. Gull
mette's French Kidney Pad, which is
a directly local application, which al
ways gives speedy relief, and always
cures the disease. Ask your druggist
for it.
THE Lower House of the Connec-
ticut Legislature have passed bill al
lowing women to vote, under the same
restrictions as men, upon questions in
volying the liquor traffic. Whatever
may be the objections urged against
women having eqnal rights with men
at the polls, there can be but little
doubt that the gentIer sex have the !
highest moral right to an effective ex-
preston of opinion on the business of
retailing liquors and the privileges
and restrictions under which the trade
shall be conducted

The Board of Pardons has fixed the |
9th for hearing the pleas of Messrs.
Kemble, Salter, Rumberger, Crawford |
and Petrof for the interposition of Ex-
ecutive clemency to modify or relieve
the punishment defined by the law for
corrupt solicitation. While many of the
pardons solicited attract but limited at
tention, the board must well appreci-
ate the general interest felt in these
cases that call tor the exercise of the
intended judicial attributes of that tri
bunal, and neither partisan or individ-
ual favor should dictate its Judgment.
SUNSET Cox and number of other
benevolent members of Congress pro-
pose to vote Sl0O, 900 of the public
money for the relief of the starving peo-
pie of Ireland Nothing is more beau
tiful than charity, but that sort which
gives away other peoples money is not
the right kind. Let Mr.. Cox and the
other Congressman give to the suffer-
ing masses in Ireland all the money
that they are disposed to give and that
they can spare from their own pockets
but there is no rule of the Constitution
which allows them to vote money from
the Treasury for any philanthropic or
humanitary purpose.
