The Camp Meeting season.

With the latter part Of August the season
Of camp meetings reaches climax. 1t is a
mistake to suppose that these annual insti-
tutions are less popular than they once were
They have greatly multiplied OF late years,
and are held all along the Atlantic seaboard,
from Maine to louisiana, and as far west as
Kansas and Colorado. In Mississippi alone,
for example, We fluid list OF eleven distinct
camp meetings.
The real change is in the character OF the
camps. Instead Of the primitive gathering

logs for seats, and with the food such as was
brought by the worshippers in their baskets
or wagons. the so-called camp is near ,h.iv-

The annual service once occupied three or
four days or a week, and was even then
styled a protracted meeting. Now the ex-
curson steamers, the railroads, and the
busting hotel keepers count on a season
lasting from June to September, and accord
ingly varied programme is furnished to fill
out the summer. Thus, around the old nu-
cleus OF brief and decisive revival cam

Of temperance meetings. educational meet
ings, woman's suffrage meetings. foreign
mission meetings. Sunday school, sanitary,
and army chaplain meetings, and the latest
addition Is that OF so-called schools OF phi
losophy. Some OF the more ambitious re-
sorts even find time to devote to the study OF
languages, music, and geology. while the
enormous boom given to real estate in these
tiourishing communities leads to the ad-

OF all the other churches. Next on the list OF
large additions comes the great company OF
IA converts added to the TALMAGE flock in
Brooklyn. Four churches have each received
over 100 new members. Thirty-three churches
have each received over 50 new members. An
immense number are marked on the roll as
having received three or four converts apiece
Some have evidently had dry and barren
time, with no converts at all. The 5000
churches, or. to he more exact, 1913, have s. 1886
ordained ministers to preach the gospel in
them together with 1888 elders and 6,2s7
deacous to help along in various ways. This
makes an official working force OF 1881

TOWNS.

The expression ''painting the town
red" WAS borrowed from the WyOn-
ing cowboys. The phrase is being
Iun into tue ground even before the
Presidential campaign is fairly com-
menced for if our exchanges can be
credited every town and city in the
United States will soon be decorated
with that lively and sanh ulnary culor.
In view Ut this it is suggested that
the pigment may as well be varied a
little. A brilliant vermillion is, of
course, the only color suited to Chl~
cago. 1t would certainly be more ap-
propriate to paint New York green.
On account of its extreme goodness,
white would be the tint selected by
Brooklyn, and blue would fitly SYM
bolize Washington. Boston would
naturally claim Oscar WIlde's favor>
tie color, old gold, and buff would
suit the Ph!ladelphians. st. Louis
would want fast colors, and so would
Cincinnati. Our Western towns and
cities might take on most any color,
the prismatic or rainbow being more
appropriate, owing to the cosmopoli-
tan tastes ana habits Of the PEOPLE.

An exchange says: The choice OF
Mr.. B. F. Jones, of Pennsylvania, as
chairman of the Republican national
committee is ominous. MI. Jones is
a worthy but obscure person, who
was given this position because he is
very rich. 1t is in the way his wealth
was acquired that we perceive the
omen so full of evil for Blaine. AS
was to be expected, the Blaine organs
are busy just now writing up Jones.
They have discovered q pretty story
in regard to him. Jones, 30 runs the
tale, was part owner of a one horse
rolling mill at Pittsburg some thirty
years ago. One day q careless work
man allowed . pair Of tongs to 60
through the rollers with . bar of red
hot iron, and it came out. not q tongs,
but a bar of iron, changed in texture
and of high polish. This incident
led to the discovery which was the
foundation of MI. jones' fortune.
Perhaps after MIR. Blaine has gone
through Jones' rollers, he will come
come out with his spots more highly
polished than ever, but so changed
in texture that he will never again be
of any use.

Morning Jo~, ,sut: The London
public r deeply exercised over the
wonderful doings of certain mind
readers. These gentlemen pretend
to tell the thoughts that are passing
in the minds of men and women. A
good Conscientious mind reader could
command good pay and a steady job
in the United States at present. the
Stalwart Republicans would give the
world to know what the Independ-
ents are thinking about, and even
the mind of blaine would bear the
light of investigation. John Kelly's
mind is the source of deep anxiety to
the Democratic leaders. If he is not
thinking of Cleveland, is his mind
in Delaware or Cape Cod? Then there
are thousands of young ladies who
would give the world to know what
their sweethearts are thinking of.
Mind readers are much needed, and
they should lose no time in coming.

THE CHOLERA.

According to the foreign consuls 1T
Toulon, the cholera now raging there
is an imported article, while the na-
tive doctors declare 1t Is . purely
home made article. It Is likely the
doctors are right, but whether i'm
ported or home made it is sufficiently
virulent. And this reminds US that
New York had Asiatic cholera when
We had no intercourse with Asia, and
have not had it since. In 1892 over
four thousand people died from the
malady in that city In less than four
months. The cause there, a. in Tou-
lon, was the filthy condition OF the
city. Where there is cleanliness there
is not apt to be cholera, ut least as an
epidemic. The best quarantine at
this time against the approach of the
malsdy is thorough sanitary prepa-
ration, not only in the streets, but In
the dwellings Of the people. This
suggestion holds just as good In the
towns and cities in the west as on the
Atlantic seab0ard.

When Carlyle wrote his famous
disquisition on clothes he failed to

ton Of plug hats. Men in all ages OF
the worlds history have been known
by their hats. Adam wore no hat to
speak Of, but Noah, being a Demo-
crat, sported when on shore q hat OF
the plug variety. A hat or cap was
the distinguishing badge of the Paris
ian children of liberty, and even our
own particular goddess is known by
her Phrygian head-gear. When the
Tammany delegation reach Chicago
attired in white hats there cannot
fail to be a iutter of admiration
amcng the ladies. White Is the en-
blem of purity, and when the hst is
supported on the head BY means OF a
brick or other precious stone its eff
rect is dazzling. Night caps, we are
privately informed, will be worn red

In personnel the Democratic Ma
tional Convention promises to be far
superior to the recent Republican
convocation at Chicago. That body
was remarkable for its unknown
quantities. 1t was largely made up
of nobodies. The great leaders and

Gus by their absence. It was essen
TALLY a todv pitched in the minor
key ofPowell Clayton, Steve Elkins

It is not to be denied, says an in
fluential Republican journal, that
the recent Republican movement in
New Haven against the Chicago
nominees has attained formidable
proportions and deserves the atten~
ton of all thoughtful politicians and
citizens, as a development of public
sentiment unlocked for a few weeks
since. A movement that has enlisted
twenty or more of the professors of
Yale, several prominent clergymen,
lawyers and doctors, several leading
merchants and not a few heads of
large manufacturing establishments
such a movement, in New Haven,
is an event which no intelligent and
conscientious journal can neglect to
chronicle and consider.

Under the present laws the British
merchant marine is the most danger.
GUS in the world, and sacrifices pro-
portionately the greatest number OF
lives. One British sailor in every
three is lost at sea every six years:
the ratio of lost among italian SAIL
ors is only one in 454, in the Norwe-
gian feet one In 277, and among the
Germans one in 123. The risk Eng
lish sailors run is ten times as great
a. that of the brakemen on the rail-
roads or the miners in the mines. In
the last three years the annual loss of
EDglish seamen has risen from 1913
to 9 $50.

Franc0-ChiMese Treaty.

PARIS, July AT the cabinet
council today Ferry stated that the
Chinese foreign board do not disavow
the action of the Chinese regular
troops at LangsOn. The board adj
mitted that the Chinese army obeyed
orders to retain possession of that
city, though this country's second
article of the recent Franco-Chinese
treaty, provides for the immediate
WITHDRAW wal Of the Chinese garrison.
Tho Chinese. however, contendod
that the evacuation of the frontier
towns was conditional upon the sig
nature of a def1nitive treaty between
France and China. China also re.
fused to recognize the stipulations
agreed on bv Hum Ching and Capt.
Fourier, for the evacuation of Lang
son, Carbang and Lad Kay between
June 9th and June 26th.
