'I'll tell you the honest TRUTH" answered
the doctor. "Bright's disease bothers the med
ical men almost as badly as cancer does, Hav-
ing yassed certain stage both point strait to
eternity. 1t may be unprofessOnal to let out
the secret, but whenever patient comes to me

The doctor spoke by the card. The Capcine
goes right to the spot. If you can be helped,
the Capcine will do it. Look out for frauds.
Is the word Capcine cut in the middle of the

THE END or THE JUBILEE.
CLOSE OF the German BLCentennIal In Phil.
adeIphia.


Despite the very perceptDle chill in the
air fully ten thousand persons gathered at
the Schuet2en park, Philadelphia, yester-
day, TO do honor to the closing ceremonies
of the bi centennial of 1898.
Among the well known people in the
crowd were Controller 5. Davis Page,
George Hoffman, DR.. J. Geyer, of Cincin
natl General George Il. SnOwden, COun-
Gilman Zane, Chairman Hensel, of the
Democratic state committee II. \. Rat
terman, of the Pioneer, one of the Oldest
German newspapers Of Cincinnati Alex
ander T. COleSberry, the president of the
American bl'centennial society, and l.. 4.
Woltensberg, Of Germantown, descen-
dent Of one of the original settlers of that
place.
The speech making began at half past 3,
the orators being stationed on a platform
| surrounding monument erected by the
managers of the Canstatter Nolks Fest
two or three years ago. The first speaker
was Herr II. \. Rlttermann, and his ad.
dress was in German. He told of the
services performed by German.Americaus
in the past 200 years, and pointed with
| pride TO the fact that Of all the foreign
elements that had gone 70 make up the
| American republic the Germans were the
most steady, the most enterprising and the
most progressive. They had become
Americans on thU very day of their land
ing and had sworn to cling TO their adopted
country for life.
| W, |. Heusel said he appeared as a
cOnscript, having been caught by the
committee as he was about to leave the
park. He was willing, however, TO speak
fOc Lancaster where his home was, and tC
congratulate the Philadelphia Germans on
their celebration. He had heard much oI
the Pilgrims that landed on Plymouth
Rock, but he believed the country owed
more to the Germans who founded Ger
mantOwn than to those much boasted i'm
migrants. Both came TO worship God il
their own way, but while the German
made religion free to all the Pilgrims want
cd their religion to be free so long a
everybody would worship after the
teachings. Dr. George Kellner spoke elo
quently in German, as did Godfrey Kee
bier, president of the Canstatte and thel
Senta's band played my Country, It's o
Thee" and then the assemblago separ
ated.
The rest of the day and evening wa
given up to dancing, beer drinking an
amusements Of all kinds. All the waiter
wore badges inscribed Sauer Kraut,
showing that that essential German dis
was a speciality Of the occasion.

Before the caao was begun the counsel

This is an action brought to recover

Tho plaintiff ia support OF their claim

suit during his life tIm3 ho died intcs-
tate in 1882 and this guit Is continued by

After the production Of this evidence by
the plaintiff tho GCfcusC asked for q non
suit for these reasons First, thai thC
plaintiffs had noI proyou that they are the
legal heirs Of Jacob cabling aud had not
shown any superior ttIo than that oi Dc
fendant. Second, that defendant being an
heir Is q tenant in common and could not
bo OuStod by the others, until PARTITION
had taken place; and, thirdly, that the
plaintiffs could not bring suit collectively
az each arc Cntitcd to their distyibutiva
! part Of tho estate. Tho court refused To
grant the non suit.
The defence then proceeded t. show that
| in 1877 Jacob cabling and his son 3cnjn-
| min (thc latter being the defendant IN thus
case) traded their farms, from which timo
the defendant had been in possession of
the property in dispute and is now sole

A few of the class of people who are
never happy unless they are changing
something have sought to persuade the
Episcopal convention to drop the name
OF the 4" Protestant Episcopal church "
and to assume the title Of "The Church" y"
or the Catholic church." Nothing
could possibly be more silly, and of
course the convention so declared. The
discontented people thought that their
church was not a Protestant church
and was as much entitled to the
name of Catholic as was the church
that Henry the Eighth had a row with.
They would be content, however, 10
assume the title of the church and to
drop the word " Catholic " in view of its
preemption by the mother church
- Episcopal I" they do not like because
there is no significance in the word.
Their criticism would be sound if it was
a question of applying a name to a
church for the first time, but as the
Episcopal church has been so known
since its birth, the word has obtained
all the significance which any proper
name can have. 1t designates thu
thing which is to be described. The
name has been pre.empted by this par
ticular church, and no other Churcl
can take 1t from them. The Methods
church styles itself the Methodist Epis
copal, but no one would know it by tn
latter part of its title. The EpiscOpa
church has fourished underits name ant
given it pleasant sound to its people
1t would certainly be the extremity o
folly to change it now, because Of any
thing unsatisfactory in its moss grown
original meaning.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, ooT. 10. 1888
The Ohio Issue.

The Ohio contest has had its ami
nation In the prohibition issue rather
than In any political question. The
temperance question has not been an
issue between the Republican and DEM
ocratic parties, the Republicans fearing
TO father the prohibition amendment,
and the Democrats treating 1t tenderly.
The contest has been very remarka-
BILE one In the excitement which has at
tended IL, through the fervor with which
the temperance advocates have labored
for their cause and the zeal with which
the liquor interest has combatted them.
1t is said that a greater commotion has
been caused in the state than it has ever
known. Whatever the result may be
the energy with which the temperance
people have fought for their doctrine
will be certain to Rave a good erect.
There should be temperance IN All
things, even temperance itself. There Is
no one more Incorporate than the tenn
perance advocate; but it is undoubtedly
a substantial platform from which he
speaks. That the most serious evils to
the community flow from the excessive
use of stimulants is undeniable that
people would be better without them Is
not to be gainsaid but how far may The
state go to keep the fool from folly; NC
farther than to protect the community
the individual must be left to take cart
OF himself.
1t is apparent that the strength of th'
temperance advocates is growing. Th'
rumpus they have raised in Ohio is sig
nifcant enough of this. They are goins
to be heard and needed. There is plent!
of room to listen to them and to max
concession with profit to their views
The laws regulating the liquor traffic ar
not what they should be. There are to
many irresponsible people in the bus
ness. A high license law would limi
their number and increase their respon
sibility and this at least should /
conceded to the growing temperate
sentiment.

rho rlttsburg Boiler Explosion.
Three experts havc been trying to OK
plain the pittsburg boiler explosion, each
with different theory. One of thcm
thinks that tho boiler was weak In parts
aud gave way at ordinary pros
sure but shis does not agree with
the known force of tho explosion,
which seems to show that the boiler
was very strong. Another theory is that
tho plates above the water limo had been
highly heated and that water thrown upon
them was flashed into steam. Th third
theory is that the sudden removal of pres
sure (rrom an unknown cause) flashed the
highly heated water into steam. This
removal Of pressure, by the way, might bo
caused by the action of tho safety valve,
thus making the latter ono source OF
danger along with its protection. As tho
only men who might bo able to throw
light upon the pittsburg explosion were
killed, the experts can each continue to
uphold his own theory with little danger
that il will be Ovcrthrown by positive
evidence.
