BLIND CHAPLAIN MILBUEN.
Some of the characteristics of the Parson
Whose Public Prayers Please the Pc
(fl'ym tie EuShington Post. J

(rrVm tie H0shln5t9n P0st.)
The Rev. Dr.. Milburn, the blind
Chaplain of the House of Representa-
tireS, whose prayers are Just now
creating sensation, is u remarkable
man in more than one respect. Forty
three wears ago he was told by emil
nenL doctors tsat he would be dead
within six months, and since that time
he has Travelled, by actual computation,
a million and half miles in his voca-
ton. He is now physically, although
in his siXty-fourth year, as strong and
robust as most men of thirty, and his
intellect is Of more than common
power. He can give more accurate
descriptions Of Westminster Abbey,
Cologne Cathedral, Metre Dame and
the other Old Word monuments than
can the majority of those persons who
have not been dependent on other
peoples eyes and on their sense Of
touch. lie can describe the ROCKY
outlines and mountainous declivilicS ot
the Sierras and OF the Rocky Mountains
aud of the picturesque beauties Of t!t.
Blue Ridge with q force and rigor
combined with accuracy rarely equal
ed, even by writers who still retain
their sight, while he has been blind
since he was five years old. 1t is his
wonderful power Of thus describing in
simple language the concrete things of
lie that renders his sermons and
PRAYERS so forceful and attracts TO them
such widespread attention. His first
invocation to attract notice in the
House was a vigorous denuncialion Of
stock gambling, but recently he cast
all previous utlerances in the shade by
referring to the present labor troubles
in such manner as TO call forth from
a Representative the remark that it
was can incendiary apeech."
A reporter of the Pyst found DR..
Milburn enjoying the delight OF a
loug-stemmed pipe. A; the reporters
entrance the Doctor arose, and, in a
hearty voice, said he was "gIad 10 see"
him. The reverend gentleman is OF
tall and commanding presence. Broad
chested and inclined TO s;optnr>S, he is
the picture Of health. \ full, un-
trimmed gray beard floats way down
his vest, while bis black hair, streaked
with silver, is brushed back from his
high forehead and hangs in brushy
laXuriance upon the collar of his cler-
lcal coat. His strongiy-marked feat
ures bear kindly expression, and are
every now and then lit up by pleas
ant smile. While talking he fixes his
eyes upon the person whom he is
addressing, and the sightless orbs
appear to look straight into the soul Of
his listener. He is i most entertain
ing talker, and one of his tavorite
hobbies is the subject of health and
its promotion. :le IS a very Jew in
his selection Of lood, positively eschew-
ing all hog meats, and he treats HIM
seIfto regular course Of curry-conb
and rough towel, cold water, oil and
sun-baths every morning. AS he
himself SAYS, he is one Of the best
groomed men in the country.

4 Prohibition Victory in Rhode Island.

The election in Rhode Island on
Tuesday resulted in decided prohi-
bition victory. Governor Wesimorc,
Republican, is reelected by less than
$500 majority, while Edwin Mctcalf,
tic Democratic and Prohibition candi-
date for encouragement, has a major
ity of l,7S4. The rrohibitorv liquor
law received over one-ffth of all the
votes cast. The liquor dealers are
dumbtounded and can scarcely realize
that their occupation is gone. On the
other hand, mass and prayer-meetings
were held all over the State on Thurs
day night for the purpose Of giving
thanks and rejoicing over the result OF
the most memorable political contest
that ever took place in the State.

The school at Sulphur Spring has an en-
rollment of twenty-one.
Miss Cameron Of Coos has been visiting here
for couple of weeks, the guest of Mrs.
Cornwall.
Johnny Simmons made a flying visit up
Smith River lately; we wonder what the at
traction was.
Miss Mary Murphy who has been at Sui

turn to Norfolk.
VIM. Smith is soon to bid farewell Is this

Mrs. Kicker and Emma Sherritts, who have
been spending the week in Gardiner, have re-
turned to their home at Norfolk.

intend, when through rafting, to have ball
at Mr.. Cowans
Several teachers from this remote part OF
the county were talking Of attending the In

roads, concluded not TO go.
Why don't the young people here rustic
around and organize literary society. There
is enough local talent to support one, and
make it profitable and entertaining.
The Eccktie ball was success. both social

than has been in Gardiner since the holidays.
That was because the Smith River people
were down.
Mr.. Wankin, better known as Tacoma

4 Letter From Seattle,

EDITOR REVIEW: Some people have an
idea that this is wet city. We are Under
martial law. You arc an old soldier and know
that martial law means one man slaw. Gen.
John Gibbon is the one man in our case. He
has not ruled us very severely but he gave us
prohibition for about two weeks and Seattleites
can answer the question "does prohibition pro-
hibitF' with laundering "yesl" The saloons
were all closed and we were forced TO fall back
on such thin drinks as tea, coffee and butter
milk nolens volens. We were both dead and
dry and that is little worse than Whatcom is
at present.
The funniest Of all human beings is man,
unless We except a woman. His quirks,
cranks, follies, inconsistencies and spasms af-
ford field of study for the philosopher and a
fund Of amusement for the humorist. We
have law which, if obeyed would close the
saloons on Sundays. But everybody knows
the saloons are open, that is their back doors,
every Sunday. Our anti-Chlnese agitators
became suddenly alarmed as to the health of
the city and a committee, seized with spasm
could not wait for Monday, but started out
Sunday morning to see if the ordinance pre-
scribing certain number of cubic feet Of air
for the Cinnamon was enforced. OF course
this move was only an excuse and the COM
mencement of the illegal expulsion of the
Cinnamon which ended in riot and bloodshed.
Those terrible two or three hundred unem-
ployed Cinnamon threatened to ruin the city.
But the fifty or more dram-shops open seven
days in week, stealing the bodies and souls
of the laboring white man, o, they were un-
noticed. How We do strain at gnat and
swallow saw MILL
You are pointing 10 the sign found in all
well regulated newspaper Offices, eve want
news, not sermons" Speaking of Whatcom
recalls the fact that large number of former
residents of Canyonville are now in that young
city. The Stenger family are there and John
is still connected with the mill property. The
hard times press him as well as all other bust
ness men. Real estate in this whole sound re
gion is not held as high as it was three years
ago, but moneyed men have faith in its future
especially since it is evident, mob law is not
going to rule. Fred Shultz was here last week,
he will return soon with band of horses TO
sell. He talks of buying a mill at ChehaG,
the present home of Mrs. Nancy Thomas and
her daughter Amanda. d. Satonstall, the
jolly timer, who used to keep up such racket
in Canyonville talks of moving TO ChehaIis.
The only mistake former residents of Doug
las county made in moving north was that they
did not all come TO this city-the queen city
of the sound. Half Of the Patchen family are
here now and the other half will follow soon
as they can sell out their interests in Whatcom.

physic,o.s Ha,e Fouud or,

That communicating and foreign element in
the blood, developed by indigestion, is the
cause of rheumatism. This settles upon the
sensitive sub-cutaneone covering of the mus
cles and ligaments Of the joints, causing con-
slant and shifting pain, and aggregating as
calcareous, chalky deposit which produces
stiffness and distortion of the joints. No fact,
which experience has demonstrated in regard
to Hostetters Stomach Bit.ers, has stronger
evidence to support than this, namely, that
this medicine of comprehensive uses checks
the formidable and atrocious disease, nor is it
less positively established that it is preferable
to the poisons often used to arrest it. since the
medicine contains only salutay ingredients.
1t is also a signal remedy for maIarial fevers,
constipation, dyspepsia, kidney and bladder
ailments, debility and other disorders. See
that you get the genuine.
