Cabinet Meeting at Deer Park.

The President remarked that, in
view of the hot, dusty ride of Friday
afternoon, he might be obliged to re-
wise his plans for the summer and
spend more time here than he had
originally intended. He does not
look forward with pleasure to a
twelve hours ride on the railroad
weekly for the next two months, and
he will probably 60 to. Washington
during that period only when abso-

heartily concurs in the proposition
to hold cabinet meetings here in the
meantime. and Private Secretary
Halford cheerfully volunteers to
make trips to and from the capital as
frequently as may be necessary, to
keep the President fully informed as
to the condition of the public BUSH
ness. This matter is still under ad-
visement.-Sam Letter.

The Harrison Grip"

NEwBURG, N. Y, July 16.-A
strange malady, that appears to be
epidemic, is prevailing in this city.
Everybody here is talking about
the disease, and at the present time
it is estimated that 1000 Newburg
people have the Harrison grip"
One physician has 20 cases, another
6S, one Y. and Others are run to death
with patients affected.
The premonitory symptoms of the
disease are lassitude. pains in the
side and back. alternating chills and
hot flashes, &c. Children principally
are affected, although when adults
are attacked the illness is much more
severe and prolonged, though as yet
no cases have proven fatal.
No cause can be assigned for the
existence of the disease, although
many think it the result of the pro-
longed wet weather and the bad con-
dition of the water in Washington
Lake, from which the water supply
of Newburg comes. The fear of the
physicians Is that the malady may
assume more aggravated form later
in the season, and result in general
spread of typhoid-malaria. The dis
ease has been variouslv termed pleu.
risy, muscular rheumatism and ma
laria, but the term "HarrisOn grip"
has now "caught on" and is in gen.
erel use.
A similar epidemic prevailed in
this part of the State in iS42. during
the term of Office of President Tyler,
and it was then called the "Tyler
grip" A large number of cases have
occurred where people were stricken
with this peculiar disease in the
street, reellng and falling before as
sistance could be rendered. and then
were powerless to walk to their
homes. So far as ascertained no other
town along the Hudson river is sim
ilarly afflicted.

The project Of the new w. Va. and

In Stamford, Conn.,, two children
attended service at the church Of
which Rev. Mr.. Vail is pastor. Mr..
Vail repeated the words: "There
is nowhere, no place that God is not"
In an audible whisper Pauline said
to her brother: HE don't know
about it, does he? But I'll tell him
after church." Just as the preacher
descended the pulpit steps a breath
less little figure caught hold of him
and ssid pantingly: "You don't

An international Sentiment.

Near the close of long career that
gave him the right to speak authori-
tatively on such subject. Lord Bea-
consf1eld said :N"After all, sentiment
rules this world" He was right,
and history furnishes no end of illus
tratlons Of the great truth that he
altered. In view OF the general
American interest in and sympathy
with the celebration of the centennial
0fthe fall OF the Bastile it is timely
to note that for over century the
one great illustration of sentimental
friendship between two great peoples
has been that which grew out of the
romantic and successful Franco
American alliance for the winning of
the independence of the American
Colonies.
It Is a grand historic fact. which
has inspired the orators of both coun.
tries with unfailing enthusiasm !;
which has been commemorated and
glorlfied in the diplomatic docu.
ments Of France and the United
States with sincerity and with grow
ing earnestness +; which has entered
into the elementary education of
French and American children and
youths, and which has its most costly
and conspicuous monument in the
colossal figure of Liberty Enlight-
ening the World" which is the chief
ornament and glory of our great
harbor.
No stronger proof of the abiding
power of a genuine and well-founded
international sentiment was eyer af-
forded ; indeed there is nothing at all
approaching it or comparable with it.
This is all the more marvellous and
honorable to both peoples from the
fact that in race and in religion, in
language and in customs, in their lit
eratures and in their tendencies, they
are 80 separated, when not actually
antagonized. Few Americans either
read or speak French still fewer
Frenchmen speak or read English.

Brain Workers.

The Medical Age says that the most
frequent fault of the brain worker Is
excessive application to WORK. 1.-THE

food is neglected, and the claims Of
exercise and sleep are but imDerfectly
admitted. Two hours exercise in the

mum, and might prudentIy be ,ex-
ceeded. The brain workers must live
sparingly rather than luxuriantly,
he must prefer the lighter classes of
food to the heavier. and he must be
very prudent in the use of alcohol.

er he needs more or less sleep than
other men. Many men of genius are
light sleepers, probably in some cases
a misfortune. but there seems some
ground for the notion that more than
a moderate indulgence in sleep is
unfayorable to successful mental eff
fort"
A commentator upon the above re-
marks says that he cannot fully agree
with them. Mental effort, he says,
and the Cincinnati Medical Ne,cs
agrees with him, causes waste of
tissue elements quite as much as
bodily exertion, and this demands
full supply of food. What with dys-
pepsia and absence of appetite. the
results of deficient exercise. and the
influence of preconceived ideas as to-
the use or disuse of special articles of
food, the brain worker is very apt to
receive too little nutriment to make
up for the waste. Especially is this
the case when he, unconsciOusly.
perhaps, replaces food by the use of
tobacco. tea, alcohol. or opium.
Some advise to 60 supperless to
bed. This most medical authorities
of the dav think is wrong notion.

other farinaceous food, with milk or

pose. Any of these would insure a

man would awaken refreshed.

Congressman Wilson's Voyage of Dis
cOvarV

Congressman William l.. Wilson,
of the Second District, has gone to
Europe. Mr.. Wilson will visit the
manufacturing districts, and, when
he returns. "will be better prepared
than ever" according to the Charles
town Free Press, "to disprOve in
Congressional debate or on the stump
the fallacy that our manufacturing
enterprises depend on the continu-
ance of the enormous tariff rates that
now hedge us in"
The InteIIigencer wishes Mr.. Will
son pleasant and prosperous voy-
age. If he can find anything in the
old country, particularly in Great
Britain to upset the wisdom of Pro-
lection to American Industries, we
shall be glad to hear from him. We
have a distinct recollection of his
effort in debate with General Golf to
show that the many in this country
are plundered for the benefit of the
few. We remember. also, that Mr..
Wilson brought all of his learning
and the graces of his Oratory to bear
on the general proposition that Pro-
lection kills. Mr.. Wilson scored a
handsome failure because he had a
bad cause.
If Mr.. Wilson will cast aside his
prejudices before he lands on the
other side. and begin anew to inves-
tigate the subject of national economy
as applied to the United States, we
are quite sure that we shall have the
pleasure of receiving him into the
fold of Protection when he returns.
His reception into the Republican
PARTY would follow FAST WheetinQ

point back to its cause. Cheap living
is the effect of cheap wages, and cheap
wages is the effect of unproductive
work. If you can send experts who
are equipped for the work, let them
examine the manufacture of steel,
wooden and cotton goods. The facts
disclosed by these will cover the
whole problem. Success to YOUR en-
terprise."

Condition of the Crops.

CHICAGO, ILL. July 14.-The fol-
lowing will appear in the Farmers
Revieao on July IL: "The reports of
our crop correspondents outside of
Minnesota and Dakota are very en-
couraging, and indicate that a con-
tinuance of the present favorable con-
6itions will result in heavy crops of
all kinds. The present condition of
the potato crop is above the average
in most of the states covered by our
report. In Nebraska, Minnesota and
Dakota, where it falls below, the
cause may be attributed to drouth.
LAS regards other crops in Illinois
and Indiana, prospects are fair all
around. Corn is small, owing to the
cold wet weather in June, but the
stand is good, and a few weeks of hot
weather would bring it forward rap
idly. In a few counties cut-worms
have worked some damage. The oat
crop is promising. Showers have
been abundant and timely in most
counties, but a few sections in the
central portion of these states need
rain.

have had too much rain for the good
of corn, which has been injured

The farmers of Worcester county,
Md, are now engaged in threshing
their wheat. A large percentage Of
the crop is found to be seriously
pamaged by the long and heavy
rains to which it was exposed after
it was cut. The outlook for the corn
crop in the county at present is ex.
ceedingly gloomy. Owing to contin.
uous rains the low lands have been
kept submerged with water. The

The French.American element in
this country is small and uninf1uen-

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES elements.
Yet during all the long series of our
patriotic centennials, from 1875 to
1899, thedemonstrations of American
gratitude to the Frenchmen whose
help was so essential to our success in
the Revolution were constantly af-
forded by our foremost orators and
statesmen and by all patriotic news
papers. They only voiced the pre-
vailing, earnest, abiding sentiment of
the pure blooded native Americans.
Their utterauces were not highly
wrought expressions of merely ira
ditional national feeling they were
the honest Outbursts of a deep Amer

thoughtful Americans who were in
their maturity before the results of
our Civil War delivered US from I'M

regarded a much greater Frenchman,
DE Tocquevile, as our most effectual
and ablest ally and interpreter. He
it was who taught the scholars and
iurists and statesmen of the Old
World the full grandeur and signifi-
canoe of the great experiment we
were making. Indeed, he first taught
very large proportion of educated
Americans to appreciate the wisdom
of our Fathers in the building un
of a double system of government
that was unique in its securities for
local freedom and national efficiency.
And it was an incalculable advantage
and support to the leaders of the
loyal North in the dark period just
preceding and during the Civil War,
that the greatest and wisest of all the
foreign observers of our institutions,
while frankly criticising many things
and predicting many great evils and

powerful reasons for the strong faith
that was in him, in the perpetuation
of our government and the triumph
