Rooms OF THE TERRITORIAL fRwoerl
CRATIC CENTRAL COMMITTEE.
RAWLINS. Aug. 10.

CRATIC CENTRAL COMMITTEE,
RAwLINs. Aug. ~.
Ia the Democracy Of W~gomaa-As
chosen representatives of your organiza-
ton, the territorial central committee take
occasion respectfully to submit for your
consideration a few suggestions which
seem o%pportune as bearing Immediately
upon the issues of the coming campaign,
The material interests of the territory and
the practical want Of The people
The importance of securing the best
representation IN congress which the Inn
tied privileges of a territorial condition
afford is absolutely momentous in the in
cipient but highly progressive state in
which every industrial enterprise and
every local interest stands to-day. An
earnest and vigilant delegate, with broad
views and without local prejudice, one
who will work diligently and can work
effectively to promote the welfare of our
people, can accomplish much. A Demo
crat, in sympathy with the party and in in
telligent working harmony with its intluen-
tial leaders would be able to shape national
legislation in the interest of his constitu-
ents to an extent only to be measured by
the total absence of result from recent
Republican effort. The wants of Wyo-
ming have been disregarded beyond those
of any other territory, because her dele
gate accredited to the popular branch of
congress has therein been practically ig-
nored.
In order to rebuke the growing spirit of
local Jealousy and sectional strife, it seems
proper to suggest that the standard bear
er of the party shouii be "A man whose
record shall Identify him with the welfare
Of our whole chrysalis commonwealth,
and who shall be capable of Ignoring the
petty bias of locality in Difference to the
common wants of all. Such a man from
whatever county he may come. and with
whatever interest he may have been iden-
tilted, must necessarily combine all the
elements OF success
With regard to the local interests of
the counties it may be said that by far the
most important offices are those of coun
cilmen and representatives in the terrific
rial legislature. The past Is too fresh to
require comment on the glaring defects
and serious blunders which have wrought
injury to all without working benefit to
any interest, or to the people Of Wyoming.

The Training Of children.

THE best satisfaction for a father is
to deserve and receive loyal and unfail-
ing respect from his son.
mo, this is not quite the best, not
quite the supreme satisfaction of pattern
ity. Shall | reveal the secret hat lies
in silence at the very bottom of the
hearts of all honorable and worthy
fathers! Their p~rofoundest happiness is
to be able themselves to respect their
sons."
1t is in one of the Franconia books
that the rule is laid down for family
education. which really applies in all
legislation and in all life: IF you grant,
grant cheerfully; if you refuse, refuse
finally This means hat your children
are TO understand that you have not
given YOU directions thoughtlessly, and
that importantly or what they would
call teasing" is not going to change the
decision. As you watch the children on
a hotel piazza in summer, in their inter
course with their mothers, you can tell
in n minute whether the mothers live
by this rule or do not. One set of chill
dren will expect to carry their points by
making fuss enough about them, while
the other set will accept the inevitable
at one and make their arrangements
accordingly. This latter set, it may be
said in passing, are not only the better
children of the two, but they are in fact
the happier; they get a great deal more
out of life.-Edward Everett Hale in
The Chautauquan.

The Rev. Casper Everhart, a Method
list preacher at Frederick, Nd, who had
been n chaplain in the Revolutionary
army, was brought to Washington dur
ing the soujourn of Gen. Lafayette, and
was n prominent guest at n banquet
given by members of congress. When
called p he told several Revolution
airy anecdotes, and was bou to resume
his seat when some one inquired: "How
was it, Mr.. Everhart, that you, I'M
armed, took three British soldiers pris-
oners " But | was armed, " he replied.
True, | had no gun, nor pistol, nor
sword, but | had a powerful weapon,
and one that, if used too often, is very
deadly, and | used it on this occasion.
1t was n bottle of rum. l met these sol
diers and entered into a little conversa-
ton with them, and finally invited them
to go to a spring neal by and take re-
freshing drinks. They required no per-
s%uasion, but went at once, stacked their
arms, sat down, and soon became hors
du combat, as our French allies used to
say. Wishing to extend my hospitali-
ties still further, | took their muskets,
and invited them to accompany me to
our camp. Duly approaching my kind
ness in taking cart of them when not in
a fit condition to take care of them
selves, they did not refuse my pressing
invitation. ben: Perley Poore.

The Alpine journal contains 2 state
ment of the results obtained by DIR.
Marcel from many experiments on
breathing while climbing at high alti-
tudes. lie first shows by experiments
at ordinary attitudes and in II state of
rest that some persons make much bet
ter use than others Of the air they in
hale, inasmuch as their exhalation is
very rich in carbonic acid; this may be
expressed by measuring the volume (at
sea-level pressure and freezing tempera-
turc) of air inhaled to produce one gram
weight Of carbonic acid. DIR. Marcel
himself had to breathe 1913 liters of air,
while two younger men needed only
IL. and 1913 liters respectively; the lat
ter had II remarkable power of keeping
his breath under water, and was little
troubled in mountain ascents.
Further experiments, conducted at
various attitudes up to IA, 600 feet, show
that, rs "A person ascends, he breathes 10
To - per cent. less air (reduced, rs
above, to standard pressure and temper
ature) TO produce a given weight of car
bonic acid; the action of air on the blood
in the lungs seems, therefore, to be fa-
cilitated with decreasing destiny. 1t is
evident that this will materially diminish
the quickness of breathing that would
otherwise be required in rarefied air. -

Or with apparently no cause at all, chills
and fever, thought to be cured, germi-
mates and refructifies in the system. This
giant among diseases cannot be laid out
with quininc. The only way TO give it a
final and extinguishing q%uietus, Is to use
persistently the national antidote to miasma
poison. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which roots it out completely. The pro-
cess of cure is, OF course, much easier if
the bitters is used as n preventive, when
the first chill is felt, but persons who are
not acquainted with the nature of the
symptoms arc sometimes in error as to
their cause, and neglect the simple and
pleasant remedy, of all Others best suited
to check the progress Of this dreaded and
destructive malady. Visitors to, or so.
journers in, malarious. localities will, more
over, act the part Of wisdom if they use
the bitters as n preparativc. Rhouma-
tism, constipation, b%iliousness, Indigestion
and kidney troubles are removed by the
bitters.

The reason why ten is a favorito-
perhaps the most favorite-number is
obvious enough. namely, that we have
ten fingers. When we begin to count
we almost of necessity do so with our
fingers; if we have a large number OF
things to count, say a flock of sheep, we
instinctively divide them into tens, or
perhaps into scores; if the number of
things be very large the collection of
tens are naturally grouped again by
tens, and so we have hundreds. a
further grouping of hundreds leads to
thousands, and so forth. Thus we get
the ordinary system of Enumeration, and
there can be no manner of doubt that
mans ten fingers are the roo of it.
We are told in treatises on arithmetic
that it would nave been much more CON
~venient if we had agreed to count by
twelves instead of by tens; and possibly
this may be true. But, if it be, we have
SO much the more evidence, if evidence
be needed, that the basis of the system
of counting was not determined by the
o~retical considerations, but by the sim
pie elementary fact of the number of
human digits being ten and not twelve.
Nevertheless twelve has its turn as a IA
vorite number; we often by doz-
ems, and the reason probably is that
twelve admits of being quartered as
well as halved, which in many cases is an
advantage.-Bishop of Carlisle in Con
temporary Review.

DAILY NEWS FROM SHIPS.

How Marine Reporters Gather Informa-
tIon from Sen Captains.
The marine department in the average
daily newspaper in this city is n very ex-
tensive field of labor. 1t involves the
recording not only of disasters of the
deep, but the arrivals and departures of
prominent persons on the great fleet of
ocean steamers which enters this harpor,
the nature and direction of the terrific
gales and hurricanes which occasionally
sweep the Atlantic and the passing and
sighting of wreckage, derelicts and ice
bergs at sea. These are generally pub
lished, and the reading public gobble
them up, but never pauses for n second
to consider how they are collected. The
majority believes that the reporters
board each ship TO obtain such informa-
ton, but such is not always the fact.
Directly alongside of the imposing
barge Office at the battery stands n two
story wooden building. The exterior is
painted a dull brown color and the words
Ship News Office overs n space over the
entrance. 1t is from this place that the
tales of the sea in concise form emanate,
and they are given to Ii representative

lengthen them at will. Every casualty
and incident connected with the sea
come through this source. The service
is perfect now, so much SO that n good
item seldom escapes the news collector
stationed mt quarantine, who dispatches
it by private wire to the little offices at
h battery.
This collector, Richard Lee, a hard
and faithful worker, operates in this
way: From sunrise to sunset Zach day
he roams about the quarantine grounds
in u small Whitehall boat and rows
alongside each incoming vessel, whether
a steamer or n sailing craft of square or
fore and aft rig. lie halls the captain of
each, inquiries the name of the ship, her
hailing port, where from, character of
cargo, days consumed on the voyage,
names of consigners, and whether she
encountered fair weather or met with
any unusual occurrence on the passage.
The captain is compelled to answer these
questions, but to save time he invariably
throws n copy of the log to the boatman.
If the vessel is n mail steamer it is the
usual custom to lower a large quantity
of press exchange papers and passenger
lists to the small boat. These are taken
ashore and shipped by the Staten Island
ferry to this city. They always arrive a
full hour before the steamer reaches her
wharf.-New York Mail and Express.

Said a friend who has passed many
years among the Indians: Every one
knows that whisky is the worst enemy
an Indian has; and, because they dis
play such a strong desire to get hold Of
it, most people imagine that they have
an inordinate love for it. Now | have
had an excellent opportunity for coming
to n fair conclusion, and it is my opinion
that their appetite for liquor is no
stronger than that of a white man. The
whole trouble is that the Indian con
siders it al honor to get drunk. Where
this outrageous idea originated no one
knows. They themselves can not ex-
plain it. To us il seems most strange
that a human being should consider it an
enviable distinction to become intoxi-

i. S. Gillette, of Detroit, who was here
in attendance on the meeting of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
said to me: "A great change has taken
place in the feeling of engineers with
reference to the engines they run. In
the old days II man became attached to
his locomotive. He made it a part of
his daily life. He got into the habit of
looking upon the machine as n human
being. He was tender with it. He was
careful not to push it to its utmost ten
sion, no matter what the occasion. Grad
ually the feeling has spread that an en-
CINE is constructed to do n certain
amount of work and that it must be
made to do that work regardless of the
wear and tear of the machinery. Rail
road superintendents prefer men for en-
gineers who understand that machinery
is made for use, and who will push tfor
all there is in it, if necessary. OF course,
they want men to be careful and prudent.
But they do not want the engines coddled
like sick babies. New York Tribune.
