day morning the west-bound passenger train on
the Texas Pacific railway was wrecked at the

looked after the wounded. Some fifty passengers
required medical attendance, being badly shaken
up, and more or less bruised. Mr.. Loomis, q
commercial traveller from Chicago, the passenger
most seriously injured, was severely cut under
the left ear, and remained unconscious for three
or four hours. He has been taken to the com
pany's hospital at Fort Worth. The other
passengers have resumed their journey.

The Journals Advice Approved

IHe JOurnaIS ADVICE ApprOVed.
Boonville Standard.
The indianapolis Journal, recognized as the
Republican State paper, came out. last Friday,
IN quite a lengthy editorial, giving reasons why
President Cleveland should not attend Mr..
Hendricks funeral, after the chief magistrate
had made up his mind to come to Indianapolis
on Monday. showing the peril the country
would be left in should he meet with some un-
%foreseen accident. The good advice was taken
home by Mrs. Hendricks and the Vice-presi-
dents first friends at home, and they tele-
graphed Mr.. Cleveland not to come, and con-
slider the safety of public affairs, if not his
personal. The President acted wisely in not
going.

said: 'There are indirect benefits derived from
these meetings which the New York Central
people have lost sight Of" 1t was thought that
the Erie, the West Shore and the Lackawanna
fast-freight lines would take some action rela-
tive to the question of disseminating their
monthly meetings. This idea was informally
canvassed, and the prevailing opinion being that
it would be just as well to await the result of
the plan adopted by the New York Central lines,
nothing was done, and the meetings will be held
as usual next month, probably in New York.

Mr.. Hendricks failed in the most critical mo-
ment of the country's peril. This is his record
and it would be well for those who are now en-
deavoring to make the people believe that Mr..
Hendricks alone saved the country during the
late war, to bear in mind that history is as cold
as an icicie, and will assign to Mr.. Hendricks
his proper sphere in the stirring events of a time
in which he failed-ignobly. purposely and EN-

1t is a fact that is becoming yearly more ap-

are degenerating into national wakes, The

funeral were not calculated to inspire visiting

Democratic papers point to the Indianapolis
journal, which paper advised that the President
should not run the risk of attending the funeral
of Mr. Henricks. If people had followed former
advice by the same paper, Mr.. Cleveland would

EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, Aug. !, 1885

AsiiiNGfoN, aug. !, 1900.
DEAR SIR: have read your letter
of the oath ult., with amazement and
indignation. There is but one mitiga-
tion to the perfdy which your letter
discloses, and that is found in the fact
that you confess your share in it. I
don't know whether you are Demo
crat or not; but if you are, the crime
which you confess is the more unpar-
donable. The idea that this Admins
tration, pledged to give the people bet
ter government and better officers, and
engaged in a hand-to hand fight with
the bad elements of both parties,
should be betrayed by those who
ought to be worthy of implicit trust, is
atrocious; and such treason to the
people and to the party ought to be
punished by imprisonment, Your con-
fession comes too late to be of inme-
diate use to the public service, and |
can only say that while this is not the
first time | have been deceived and
misled by treacherous representations,
you are the first one that has so frankly
owned his grievous fault. If any
comfort is to be extracted from this as
surance you are welcome to it.
Yours truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND.

Abram Ellsworth, Of Port Even, Ulster county N.
Y, had realized this truth. His disease involved
the whole Of his thlgh-bone, and the suffering
man looked forward, not without apparent reason,
to death as his only delivery. The family physi-
clans refused TO amputate the limb asserting that
tho operation would Kill the patient on the spot
Dr. Ddpid KENNEDY, of Rondout, N. Y, who was
consulted, held different opinion and amputated
the lint. The Doctor then administered freely
his great Blood Specific FAORITE REMEDY to
afrord tone and strength to the system and pre-
vent the return OF the disease, and MIR. Ellsworth
remains to this day in the bloom OF health. This
gentleman's disease was the offspring Of foul

ned the blood and restored the blood and restored
to him the power once more to enjoy his life. Are

stronger, cheerier and more effective
with each succeeding week. He was
elected. One evening in December
while entertaining several gentlemen
he said.

Daily Bread.

A little girl in wretched attic,
whose sick mother had no bread, knelt
down by the bedside, and said, slowly:
"Give us this day our daily bread"
Then she went into the street, and be-
gan to wonder "where God kept his
bread She turned round the corner,
and saw a large, well.filled bakers
shop.
"This," thought Lettie, 'this is the
place. So she entered confidently,
and said to the stout baker, "Ive come
for it,
"Comc for WHAT"
my daily bread she said, pointing
to the tempting loaves. '1ll take two,
if you please-one for my mother and
one for me-
"All right said the baker, putting
them in bag, and giving them to his
little customer, who started at once
for the street
"Stop, you little rogue /" he said,
roughly; "where is your money 2
81 haven't any," she said simply.
"Haven't any!' he repeated angrily;
you little thief, who brought you here,
then ?"
The hard words frightened the little
girl, who bursting into tears, said !:
"Mother is sick, and l am SO hungry.
In my prayers l said, Give us this day
ourdail bread and then thought God
meant to fetch it, and so came
The rough but kind-hearted baker
was softened by the childs simple tale,
and he sent her back to her mother
with basket well filled.
Nettie had faith in God she asked
and expected to receive. Perhaps if
some older persons had more faith in
their asking, they would have more Joy
in receiving.
When she asked for daily bread, it
may be that, in some way, God may
mean us to fetch it, or to put ourselves
in the way of getting it. He Is ready
to fulfil his promises, but we must be
in the appointed attitude Of trusting
expectation.--iSe Selected
