claims that he has no means Of knowing

From our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 10, 'S5

w ASHINGTON, ID. T., June IL, 'S0.
Upon returning from his drive this
afternoon the President found large
party awaiting him upon the portico
facing the stand where the Marine Band
are playing. Postmaster General Villas,
Secretary EndicOtt, Marshall MeNIichael
and their wives; Miss Cleveland, Mrs.
Col. Lamont and her two interesting
LITTLE ones, Miss Mollle Villas, Madame

The party attracted much attention
from the promenaders on the laion. and
many inquiries were made for the Presi-
dent before he put in an appearance.
All the windows of the south front of
the White House were occupied, and
the President appeared to enjoy the
spectacle as much as any one else.

President this year, as he feels that he
must oblige his old friend, Mr.. Belmont,

THE HYGIENE IMPOsYURE.

The Intelligencer has heretofore no.
ticed as suspicious circumstances, that
Mrs. Mary II. Hunt, superintendent of
the Women's Christian Temperance
Union, and chief agent in promoting the
passage of the recent anti-alcohol,
hygiene instruction school law, was the
author of text book on this subject,
which it would be sought in pursuance
of the law, to have introduced in the
schools. Some of the superservicable
defenders of this absurd and impracti-
cable statute have "denied the allegation
and defied the alligator" Neverthe-
less the facts are against them. Lying
before us is the book in question. 1t is
got up by A. S. Barnes {; Co., of New
York, and it is called Temperance
Physiology" and has the name of
Hunt" emblazoned conspicuously on
the cover, which is decorated further
with yellow devices that look like the
snakes which the victim of alcohol sees
in his delirium. Its title page says 1t Is
prepared under the direction of the w.
e. 7. u, Mrs. Hunt. superintendent,
and endorsed by A. b. Palmer, NJ. D.,
copyright 1884. But the dose seems tc
have been too strong; and so Barnes &
Co. ostcnsibly put out another book, il
palmer cover, the yellow serpents being
taken off, Mrs. Hunts name hauled
down and the book entitled "HygienC
for Young People" But an examina
tion shows that in all other respects tht
contents Of the ttCo books from preface Il

had no concern. The only question
with Governor Pattison was whether
the Apportionment bill submitted for
his approval was in conformity with the
Constitution, When he found that il
was not, his duty TO veto it was plain,
Those who criticiSe his action do not
pretend that the bin made an equal and
fair distribution of Representatives
among the people, They admit that it
did not make such distribution, but con-
tend that 1t was better in some respects
than the existing appcrtionment. Their
criticism Of Governor Pattison betrays
considerable confusion In their concep-
tions of the duty and obligations of a
| responsible Executive, bound by his
oath to defend the Constitution. Gov
ernor Patuson vetoed this Apportion'
ment bill because 1t was bad measure
even though it might have been better
than the act signed by former Cover
nor with looser notions of public duty
When the friends of this Apportionment

were in his position they would doubt

TIE moderate High License law in
Wisconsin works splendidly. A Mil
waul1ee journal of late date says: "Total
receipts to date of S192, 800 for liquor
licenses in this city answer the question
as to whether High License is wise or
not. The receipts last year were about
S75,o00, thus making clear gain of
$4,000, This is not all, for consid-
cradle number of the worst saloons have
been suppressed. But not enough have
been so destroyed, and license fee of
$500 would not only still further increase
the municipal receipts in a very marked
degree, but would lower the number of
saloons and weed out yet more of the
Objectionable ones"

Fashionable Dots from GodeY's Lady S
Book for July.

Book for July.
--Mantles are very small, and as light
as possible.
-Bonnets as far as coloring goes, are
works of art.
Thread laces for trimming are en-
broidered with cotton or chenille for a
contrasting color.
Green is the predominant color, its
only real rival being the lovely cream
tints which will reign throughout the
summer.
Lace and embroidery are being used
in lavish abundance upon children's
costumes of lawn and zephyrs.
-Mantles are made of black silk net
work, unlinei and threaded with beads,
edged with fringe.
Skirts are made much less narrow
at the top than they have been for some
time past. Many are gathered or plated
round the waist.
-Woollen lace is extensively used for
skirts and complete dresses; as also
woollen tulle, which is most effective
over silk lining.
Gold gauze riobon gallons with
chess-board designs formed of bronze
beads are new and novel.
"A lovely evening dress is of black
net with design in gold and silver
tinsel scattered over the front, and all
the rest in lace.
The newest breakfast-caps fol
elderly ladies ar made of heliotrope tulle,
with a bow of satin ribbon of the same
shade on top.
Silver collar-bottons, studded will
some tiny precious stone, rival those
made of gold, which have so long been
popular.
-Velveteen trims many of the plain
and small figured sateens. 1t is only
however, for revers, collars and cuffs.
--Hair-dressing is becoming more
elaborate. The style, however, is tc
still wear the hair arranged on top OF
the head.
| Buttons for lawns and other wash
| dresses are more ornamental than they
have been for some time.
A favorite style of gentlemen
scarf-pin consists of one beautiful stone
a ruby, sapphire, turquoise, opal oil
pearl, set around with small diamonds.
-Children's hats and bonnets are a:
eccentric as those Of their mothers, but
the pretty face of childhood makes then
more generally becoming.
-Colored nets for bonnets are EN-.
broidered with flowers and pendants Of
beads and silk, either in the same colol
or gold and contrasting color.

Only Fractions Of Lives.

How many persons live only fraction

lect to take the commonest precautions
against sickness. 1t is disease in its
maturity that kills, and maturity implies
growth. A slight indisposition is usual

ease, but the process of cure is far
easier one if it is used in early stages of

THE Lehighton ADVOCATE, is down
on labor organizations and thinks there
are too many of them. We think so
too. There should be fewer, but they
should be bigger and stronger. Give us
more amalgamation, strong unions, full
treasures, good officers and determined
members and then we will be able to
teach the oppressor that the creator of
wealth should first enjoy the benefits
and comforts that accrue from the thing
it has created, --Mahaaoy Tri- Weekly
Record,
The editor Of the Record puts 1t little
too strong when he says we are 'down
on labor organizations" We always
admired the manly men who stood up
for honest remuneration for their labor,
but we put no faith in organizations
whose leaders are "dead-beat" polite
ians, nor do we appreciate the efforts of
men to inaugurate a union for their
mutual protection in business who sup
port a combination of capitalists who by
furnishing "patent outside and insides"
to country publishers, keep some 5000
poor devils of printers tramping through
the country barefooted and hungry, and
then cry out for union to protect them
selves against low prices. Bosh!

PRINCE FREDERICK CHARLES of
Prussia, who died at Potsdam Monday
Mt the age of fifty-seven, was not dis
tinguished merely as the nephew of the
Emperor. He was thoroughly trained
and brilliant soldier, serving with dis
tinction and with increasing honor in
all the wars of Prussia from 1918 on
wards. He beat the Austrians at Sadowa;
he commanded the second German army
on the Rhine in the war against France,
and 1t was he to whom Bazaine sur
rendered Metz. There was not much
that was lovely in his personal life, but
he was quite the typical German soldier
AMI his influence in the army, in peace
as well as in war, had much to do with
the military achievements of modern
Prussia.

npormors Coal Stocks on Hand.

Philadelphia Record: The anthracite
coal mining companies are considering
the subject of still further restricting
production in order that better prices
may be obtained for their product.
When their combination was formed
they made the output for each month
about what they thought the market
would require. Shipping points are
crowded with coal. and the tracks OF the
Transporting companies are lined with
loaded cars awaiting an opportunity to
be emptied. On some OF the roads
every available space is taken up with
loaded coal cars. The companies are of
the opinion that by further restricting
the output they can limit the supply and
advance prices considerably.

THE SEEN AND UNSEEN.

There were watchers by the bedside
And silence in the room;
There was morning light and shadow
From a night Of troubled gloom;
There were hearts akin to breaking,
There were souls bowed down with grief;
There were drinking deep from sorrows
cup
In moments all too brief.
There were fareweils sad and tender
In whispers sad and low;
There were waitings for the messenger
OF measured step and slow;
There were earthly warfares ending,
There was cease from worldly strife
There were mortals made immortal,
There was death and endless life.
There were watchers by the bedside,
Whose forms we might not see;
There were spirit voice chanting
In sweetest melody;
There was morning light upbreaking
Into everlasting day,
When the watchers and our darling
Went up the heavenly way.

ssaee99ATE one night in June two

$500 young lawyer, sat discussing
more things than Horatio dreamed of
in his philosophy.
''Can you think" said Graham, the
lawyer, "that there is absolutely no
existence of any vital principle apart
from the physical functions that stop
with death? I will never believe that
there is not something behind all
that-the something that looks out

voice to express itself"

nothing but combination more or
less complicated of brain cells re-

you had gone into that sort of thing
as I have, you would see that it is all

steps and there will be no question
of spirit, even for such idealists as
you. Touch one spot in the brain of
a genius, and you have q glibbering

Graham shook his head.

continued Fielding, "and too many

how many trifing accidents put an

heart, take away a few pounds Of
blood, destroy his digestion, and you
have destroyed him, say. The nee

his machinery has been disarranged,
and he stops for good and ALL I
grant you for some it is hard enough
to give up the idea of soul, but
most people will be glad to welcome

presently.

they laugh at the idea after their own
