In reply to correspondent who indig-
nantly asks if nothing can be done to stop
the vandals who are Transforming the face
of the country into one vast advertising
medium, the Springfield Republican observes
that one obstacle in the way of preventing
such outrages is the melancholy fact that
farmers and landed proprietors don't care,
or if they do it is only one or two dollars
worth. The disapproval of the advertising
fiend is chiefly felt by persons who don't
own any fences or sheds or rocks-who
have nothing but sensitive taste and a
powerless indignation. These unfortunate
people can't do anything except swear never
TO buy particle of the soaps or dentfrices
or elixirs or suspenders, or other contri-
vances so insolently advertised, and never
to deal with the advertisers. We should
like to see a league formed bound by that
solemn obligation-it is a perfectly proper
occasion for boycotting."

For some months says foreign letter,
there resided in the family of neighbor-
ing land proprietor lin tho Torontal
Comitat) lady, past the age of so, who IN
her youth was Bismarck's first love. She
was born at Griefswald, where her parents
let rooms to young students attending the
university in that town. About the year
1910 certain Count St.-,who later on
made brilliant military career, lived at
visits of a fellow-student from the Agri-
cultural Academy. This was Otto Won Bis
marck, who soon conceived q tender aifec-
ton for the l9.year-old Josephine, the
daughter Of the house. and manifested his
sentiments in serenades and similar spec
tacular tokens Of his affection. Owing to
some unpleasant little conflicts with the
academical authorities, he was obliged to
leave Griefswald, his departure, however, in
no way preventing him from addressing the
most tender and touching epistles to the
sweetheart left behind. In one of these
missives he formally sued for Josephine
hand, which, however, was promptly re-.
fused him by the parents, who strongly
objected to give their daughter to $50 ill
rcputed a young man." Thereupon in 1912
the correspondence ceased altogether.
Josephine's parents, who had met with sad
financial reverses through the instrument
tally of their own spendthrift son, emil
grated to America (Minnesota) in 1916, and
afterward went to Brooklyn to live, where
in 1852 after much reluctance on her part,
Josephine became the wife Of Hungarian
emigrant and dealer in petroleum, j.
les by name, who took her to New
York les died in 1872, and by invita-
ton of his sister, married to Mr.. Gy-
here, Josephine has recently come to
Hungary to spend the rest Of her DAYS.

DIR. Bliss Makes Another statement

Dr. Bliss last night made another state
mcnt bearing upon the question of alleged
malpractice in: the treatment of President
Garfield. He claimed that the greatest
possible care was taken in regard to the
functions of digestion and assimilation
that the Presidents wishes as to his
medical attendance were carefully re-
garded that both the President and Mrs.
Garfield left the selection of the physicians
to him (Dr. Bliss that the most scrupulous
care was exercised by the physicians in
making tho bulletins truthful that Drs.
Agnew and Hamilton had full control as
consulting surgeons, and that the profess
sional standing and integrity of all the sur
geons was sufficient answer to the imputa-
ton that they were connected in any way
with any stock; jobbing operations.

Services In the Churches Yesterday.

There was large congregation ut every
church in the District yesterday and many
new faces in the pulpits. Rev. DIR. Russell,
of Missouri, preached Mt the Christian
Church. Rev. Mr.. Butler preached on the
death of President Garfield, and took occa-
sion to question the action of the Prcsi-
dents friends by excluding his pastor from
the sick-room. Mr.. Power, he said, had
never been admitted to the Presidents
room during his illness, and never saw him
from the time he was shot till he saw him
in his coffin. There was sanitary power
in other agencies besides physicians per-
scriptions. The atmosphere caused by the
presence of minister of religion was q
helpful one. He said that though the
President died, 1t was absurd to lose faith
in prayer, though the confidence had in
medical and surgical science had been con-
siderably shaken. Rev. +. Noble, n college.
mate of the late President, preached at the
Seventh-street Presbyterian Church. The
congregations of the Central and the AS
sembly's Presbyterian Churches, which
have been united in worship during the
summer, held separate services yesterday.
Rev. DIR. Hicks, of the new Island Taber-
nacle, ofiicated ut the Reformed Episcopal
Church. Rev. w. ID. Sicgfricd preached in
Masonic Temple to the Universalist congre-
CATION. Rev. DIR. Cuthbert, having returned
to the Thirteenth-s Baptist Church,
and Rev. f. Gilliat to Grace Church, South
Washington, renewed their ministrations
in the pulpits of those churches.

The President passed very quiet Sun
day and received only Il few visitors. He
attended the morning service at st. Johns
p. L. Church, of which his late wife was n

President will probably be regular at
tendand to the services at this church. He
is very anxious to go to New York to at
tend to some private business. He will
probably go this week in order to avoid
being there the week after, when the Re-
publican State Convention will be held.

SWEARING OFF ON POLITICS.
Exchange.

The man who has once been addict
ed to politics finds it hard to reform
and break the fetters that bind him.
He makes q resolve, in his mind, that
never again will he touch the fatal
polite, and he goes along for months
without thinking Of indulging, but in
an unguarded moment, after the
compagn opens, he thinks of some
thing that can be played on the oppo-
sittlon, and he takes the first step,
and then he goes down, until election
day he Is peddling tickets like an old
stager, at midnight he is whooplng 1t
up with the boys, and at three A. NJ.
he goes up stairs at home on all fours,
his hat overwhelmed by q good ma
iority, his head as uncertain and wa
vering as the chances of his party, his
tongue as thick as opposition votes
and his breath as strong as the at
mosphere in malt house, He has
lied to his wife about having to SO to
the lodge to give some high degrees
to some MasOns from the country,
and when she smells his breath
she she knows how high the
degrees are, and it all comes over
l,her in % second-notth the breath, but
! the idea that he has fallen from his
high estate and again sunken in the
mire of politics. After election, and
his party is beaten, as usual, he swears
upon stack of brick, in his hat, that
he will touch not, taste not, han
IDLE not, the Intoxicating and de-
moralizing polite, but he lies, and he
knows it.
What the country wants is Socie-
ty for reforming men who are addict
ed to politics, q society where he can
90 when he feels the old appetite
coming on, and have his thoughts
turned to a different channel. He is
weak, and he wants his brothers and
sisters to take him by the hand, par
ticularly the sisters, and brace him up
and make him strong against the enc
my. When he feels like taking @
hand in a campaign, where he knows
that he will surely sail, and come out
with smell of kerosene and beer or
\ his garments, and cheese on hiE
breath, he wants to feel the strong
arm of society around his waist, an(
hear the members singing songs o
Zion instead of hurrahing for some
body for justice OF the peace, But
such a society were formed for the re
formation of the politicians, jus
about the time it got the convert
| strong enough to walk alone, the con
founded society would nominate
ticket of its own and go into the cam
} paign making more noise than all th
| other political parties, and the re
: formed politicians would find tina
they had jumped out of the fryin
{ pan into the fire. Twas ever thu
from childhood's hour.
