Pastor White Replies.

AUGUSTA, Feb. 5.-Rev. A. j. White, pas
tor of the First Baptist church, who was
charged with appearing in public when his
children were i'll of diphtheria and there
was danger of communicating the contagion,

laws and been in communication with the
city health authorities; furthermore he had
conferred with his physician. and his chill
dren had been isolated and he had disinfec-
ted his clothing Neither had he made any
pastoral calls. His arraignment of those
who had made the charges against him was
quite severe.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. 4.-No violence
has yet been done to the property Of the
Reading Coal and Iron Company by the She
nandoah strikers, so far as the officials In
this city are aware. Supt S. B. Whiting
came to the city today and conferred with
General Manager Mcleod and President
Klien Of the coal and iron company. He said
that the only damage done thus far was OF
personal nature. Another executive officer
of the company, commenting on the outbreak
at Shenandoah, said: "This disturbance is
simply another evidence Of the hopelessness
of an unjust cause, and is sufficient PROOF tnat
the company has been paying iair rate OF
wages, because men who are willing 10 accept
are not permitted to work. The great ma
iority Of the miners-men OF famlly-are op-
posed to the strike, as they are to the vio-

the State authorities for assistance, as 1t will
be necessary to exhaust the local resources
first but mark my word, II the militia goes
into that country, the strike will quickly De
over. The malcOntents have already done
their cause a great deal of injury, and hope
that better counsels will prevail. A set OF
men calling themselves Knights OF Labor

People who Remember Them.

BANGOR, Feb. A singular feature OF
the Stain and Cromwell case, is the fact that
SO many Maine people of good repute, recog-
nize either one or the other of these two men.
In addition to several in Dexter, who believe
they saw the accused there on the day on
which the dying Barron was found. Bangor
people are positive that they have seen Stain
here.
The other day lady, former resident OF
Bangor, who was visiting her old home,
went with company to the Jail to view the
many prisoners there. Coming to the cell OF
Stain, she was struck with the familiar ap-
pearance of his face, and, after few mo-
ments thought, recollected him as myster-
ious boarder who occupied room at her
house five days, Just prior to the Dexter
tragedy, and who left in mysterious man
ner. She did not know then, the name OF
the man, nor the charge on which he stood
committed, but so impressed, was she that
she pointed him out to the turnkey, and ask
| ed his name. To her great surprise she wa;
| told that it was Stain. The full particular:
of the Identification cannot, of course, b'
told. but they will be presented in full tt
the grand jury next week.
Freeman Fernald of Palmyra will be ont
of the witnesses for the State. He was il
Newport when Stain and Cromwell wer'
there, en- route for Bangor, and when h
caught sight of Stain he at once excleimed

For Cheap Postage.

That the temper of Congress is largely in
favor of penny postage has come out clearly
in both Houses. The immediate opposition
to Mr.. Sawyer's adverse report on the sub
ject in the upper branch, shows the feeling
there, while the debate on the cheap postage
bill in the House, Thursday. was another IN,
stance The post office committee was solld
in favor of the bill to rate as second class
matter anything that was but book or re-
print. No one explained it to the House.
Mr.. Cannon of Illinois, clearly was in the
fog about it, and quick and hot was up with
an amendment to make everything penny
postage. This would have created alarm az
deficit in the funds there, but the eagerness
with which it was talk over, and the vote
it had-the solid report Of the committee for
the bill being the only thing that kept " Id
tact-showed that when the proposition
shall come, and that must be soon, 1t Will
meet little delay OF obstruction.

The Turple Case.

The coming week will see also the opening

ly be anything more than aperfunctory duty,
to look over the evidence and rule in the
matter, for the Indiana Senator is pretty
firmly fixed in his seat. There are rumors,
ably disgusted with the way in which the
House is treating the contest, and is more
than inclined to pull the new man over the
Goals. If nothing more in return.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The coming week
promises more in Congress than has any one
vet. 1t looks as If the Senate might finally
get rid of the Blair bill which has blocked
business so persistently for nearly month.
The Senate committees have several import
ant measures on the calendar and some
which can well be handled at once. Penny
postage will probably demand attention as
soon as the educational bill passes from
sight and hearing. There are number of
Indian bills to be acted upon at once, and a
large amount of time is likely to be con-
sumed over the exiradition treaty, which is
still pending in secret session. The extra
dition treaty makes great sport for Riddle
berger if for no one else. He is bound, if
possible, to force discussion of it in open
Senate and rampage in full cry before the
gathering daily, mbre to annoy and disgust
his colleagues than anything else. Riddle
berger evidently feels that his present oppor-
tunity is his last one and although he may
make fame by getting into Virginia Jail on
occasions, it is not to be compared with the
exhilaration of parading when bit lacka-
daisical with drink before an august Senate.

MASKED MALARIA.

II Takes Many Forms and Deceives
All but Experienced Physicians.
While September, October and Novem-
Der, says DIR. j. V. Shoemaker in the Medi-
cal Bulletin, are prolific Of typical cases of
malaria. it must not be forgotten that this
strangely omnipresent disease is capable of
assuming the most protean aspects. Its three
marked ieties-intermittent, remittent
and congestive-are SO well known as t. be-
recognized at once, not only by physicians,
but by the people at large. There is reason
to believe, however, that many of its minor
varieties are frequently mistaken for other
disorders, to the discomfort Of the patient
and the annoyance or discontinue of his
medical attendant. The PECULIAR poison or
miasm Of malaria may attack any organ or
area OF the body, producing congestion and
inflammation differing from ordinary or
only its peculiar tendency to intermit or re-
init at certain intervals
Practitioners in maarial districts are so
well aware of this fact that they order anti
periodic remedies in every case in which
they suspect iniasmatic element to exist.
In this manner they cure in few days
many cases of malarial congestion CT the
lungs, pleura, brain aud bowels which in
experienced physicians would term pneu-
monia, pleurisy, brain fever and cholera
morbus, or choleraic diarrhoa, and
treat unsuccessfully by administering the
remedies ordinarily employed in those dis
eases.
Sciatica, neuralgia. rheumatism. syno-
Wits, laryngitis, peritonitis and cystitis,
may also be simulated 80 closely at times by
the manifestations of malaria Ak 20 defy
differentiation, except 10y the speedy disap-
pearance Of the latter under antiperiodic
treatment. Astonished at the good results

general, and of 100 men and women it is
said that seventy or eighty are inveterate
smokers
Besides all these natural products the
people of Kouang-ToDg have the greatest
ingenuity in the manufacturing Of innumer-
able little articles Of bric-a-brac, and it is
said that they almost supply the entire
market in the United States for firecrackers
and fireworks of the common varieties.
They are very expert at this, and at Can
ton. Tong Kouan and Houang- Kong they
make all sorts of pyrotechnics, firecrackers,
large and small skyrockets, fuses for burn
ing on the water. roman candles and
artificial contrIvances of all sorts. IL is said
that the annual value of these exports to
this country are 600, goo francs. IL seems
rather astonishing, however, that the prices
which the writer gives as current in China
should be so high compared with this coun-
try. He says: 1.-THE actual prices of fire.
crackers at the markets of Canton are:
For a pack of sixty-four firecrackers, 60
cents; for a pack Of seventy-two fire.
crackers, SO cents; for pack of eighty
firecrackers, rs centsn
Perhaps, however, they are extra large
size, of the kind the boys call ''cannons"
and which costs from cents to 10 cents
apiece here.
And all this is contained within only one
of the provinces of the Chinese Empire, the
complete resources of which will probably
not be known to the outside world for
many years yet to come. There is certainly
a field for extending our foreign trade which
is not equaled in any other quarter of the
globe. Why should we not be the first to
take advantage of it,
