Butter Buyers

Everywhere are refusing 10 take white,
lardy looking butter except at grease"
prices. Consumers want nothing but gilt
edged butter, and buyers therefore recon-
mend their patrons to keep uniform color
throughout the year by using the Improved
Butter Color made by Wells, Richardson
& Co., Burlington, VT. 1t is the onl y color
that can be relied on to never injure the
butter, and to always give the perfect color.

THE FRANCHISES BILL.

A Great Mass Meeting at Manchester Adj
dressed by John Bright.
MANCHESTER July 26.-The demonstration
here to-day infavor of the franchise bill was
success. John Bright presided. Thousands Of
persons were present despite the rain that fell
during the day. Forty thousand persons were
present including many members of the House
of Commons and prominent Liberals. Glad
stone sent letter apologizing for his absence
The Marquis of Harrington, in supporting a
resolution of confidence in Gladstone's policy,
charged the Conservatives with insincerity, in
that they professed desire to enlarge the fran
chise; their fears that the governments redis-
tribution scheme would favor the Liberal ma
jority were ungrounded He said the conf
dence of the House of Lords was needless to
the existence Of the government He believed
it would be lnjudlclous to attempt to reform
the House of Lords now, as the government had
sufficient work on hand already.
Mr.. Bright, in his speech, said he believed
the conquest by the people would be complete,
as it had been before, They had met with the
object OF compelling q house representing no
body directly to accept bill passed by three
fourths of house representing millions of peo-
pie The Cabinet had a right to decide the ques-
ton whether there should be one or two bills. A
majority of the House of Lords refused to ac-
cept the new principle which Gladstone intro
duced-both in this and the former Parliament,
namely--a desire to give perfect justice to the
Irish people. The sudden affection of the Con-
servatives for the franchise bill was stimulated in
order to insure the passage of the bill in the
autumn. Unless the English people were fraud
and a sham, which he doubted, they would know
how to deal with the hereditary chamber, whose
arrogance and class -se1fshness had long
been at enmity with all higher inter-
ests and instincts of the nation Cheers. If
the franchise bill was rejected in the autumn he
believed they would be entitled to ask the min
listers to give definite statements of their views
in case they were unable to anticipate that state
ment; but the views of the English people would
be that as their forefathers had had power to
curb despotic monarchy they of the present day
had equal power to curb the arrogant and he
thought, speaking of majority of the peers. an
u1patriotic oligarchy

prolonged cheers.
Resolutions favoring the passage Of the fran
chise bill were adopted unanimously.

Death of Frere Irlfde.

PARIS, July 26.-Frere Irlide, General of the
Order of Ignorantines, friars, died here to-day
from cancer of the stomach The archbishops
OF Paris and Rheims, and the bishops of Yer
sallles and Orleans were present during his last
hours.
The Ignorantines are a religious congregation
Of men in the Roman Catholic Church for
the gratuitous instruction of poor chill
dren in sacred as well as secular learn
ing. It was founded in France in the
early part of the eighteenth century {1724,
by the Able de la Salle and has gradually been
introduced intoevery Catholic country in Europe
In France this congregation shared, at the
Revolution, the fate of all other religious
bodies: but the brethren under the name Of
Brothers of the Christian Schools were recalled
and re-established under Napoleon in 1906
They are now exceedingly numerous in France,
Italy and Germany, and many branches exist in
England and Ireland In the latter country
they possess, especially in Dublin, Cork, Linn
erick and Waterford, large educational estab
lishments, and they have published, for the use
of their schools, a series of school books which
are designed to combine with secular knowledge
information on the subject of religion, specially
designed for Roman Catholic pupils.

Panics and Their Results in Epidemics.


London Lancet,
It is most deplorable proof Of the weakness
of human nature that it is at all times prone to
fall into state of panic when brought face to
face with the inevitable We must all die and
we are not ignorant of this, our destiny. Never
theless. the instant danger to life is rec
ognized, we fly from the peril with impetuous
haste Of crazy and cowardly creatures, forget
full alike of duty and decency. 1t is vain to
argue in favor of self possession. Philosophy
has no charm for or power over the man who
impulsively turns his back to the enemy.
Nothing we could urge would have the slightest
weight with the multitude bent on escaping
from the ports and cities which are just now
supposed to be rife with the infection of
cholera. These flying crowds, on safety all
intent, must be left to their own devices
1t is manifest that they will spread the
malady, and it is scarcely less certain that
they will, many at least lose their lives in try
ing to save them. With regard to these mat
ters, however, it is useless do speak. Suffice it
to point out that, although in the presence of an
epidemic of cholera there is always and un-
questionably some personal peril of contracting
the disease, it is by no means certain that this
is increased by remaining in association with the
sick, or that the danger is to be avoided by run
ming away During severe epidemics it has
been noticeable that the mortality has not been
by any means greatest in the very center, SO to
say, of the disease. In the hospital and among
the cholera patients scattered throughout the
population, medical officers and nurses have
gone about doing their duty with no greater
mortality than that of those who have kept
aloof Indeed, it is probable that certain
amount of immunity from disease has been en-
joyed by those who have not feared the dagger Of
infection, The great secret of success in ward
ing off disease is the preservation of
health. We mean that if, needless
of danger men and women do
their duty to those around them-keeping up a
cheerful temper and trusty spirit, neither
abusing the good things of life nor avoiding
them; in short, living as all should live whether
in the midst of healthy population or in the
presence of an epidemic they have far better
chance of escaping disease than by falling into a
state of panic and ''hastening to leaven The
true policy is to kill the germs of disease on the
spot, whether they be in the water OF in the air.
Every particle of the Pejecta should be destroyed
NOT simply deodorized, but destroyed by a
powerful agent capable of burning up organic
material This should be done at once and in
stantly on the spot not merely with the chole-
raic but with every patient who may have diar-
rhea, whether specific or simple. IF this be
done, and the general sanitary conditions and
the average health of the community be looked
to, there is no peril that need scare any one out
OF his or her sober senses in epidemic of chol-
era either on the continent or at home.

New York, July 27.--B. F. Estes, aged thirty,

that, though apparently dead, there was still
some life in him. A ragged wound behind the
ear, where the skin and hair were burned and
blackened by powder and a thirty two calibeT
revolver lying under the bed, explained the
cause of his condition. Upon table were two
notes in one envelope which was left unsealed.
The first was as follows:
