Az the worlds a Stage.

To enable everyone 10 act his part well needs
that he shall be in perfect health. The very best
of actors require prompting occasionally, and so
it is with the functional parts of bodies they
sometimes require prompting. sluggish liver,
impaired digestion or weak stomach, If taken in
time, only need a little prompting to set them
right, but il neglected may lead to complications
that win necessitate physieian's care. An arti-
Gle that has, comparatively speaking, been but
recently introduced in America, is by far the best
little prompter in all the aforementioned cases.
We refer to Beecham's Pills, staple article in
England, having been before the British public
for over fifty years and already in great demand
in every other Englishy speaking country
throughout the world. These pills are really a
wonderful medicine, arousing and strengthening
the system and prompting every organ to the
proper performance of its part. 1t has recently
been shown that they nine times more used In
England than any other pateat medicine, and
have the largest sale Of any IN the world In
fact they are the Worlds Medicine. No home
in America need be without this famous and in
expensive remedy. for although they are pro
verbally pronounced 70 be Worth guinea a
box they can be obtained of any druggist for
twenty five cents or from the Sole Agents for

FROM OVER THE RIVER,
The Crusade Against the Deadly
Electric Wire.

The death of Lnieman Feeks among
the wires at the corner of Centre and
Chamber streets has probably caused
more excitement in New York than any
accidental death which ever occurred
there. The circumstances, now familiar
to every one, could hardly have been
made more horrible if the combined in
genuity of all the electric lighting COM
panies in the city had been directed to
that especial object.
The inquest showed that the mans
death was probably instantaneous. The
doctors pronounced the case to be the
most perfect example of what electricity
can do in the way of murder and mutila-
tion that has ever come to the notice of
the medical profession.
Mayor Grant called a meeting of the
Board of Electrical Control in the fore
noon, and resolution was passed order
ing the cutting of all improperly insulated
wires. Expert Wheeler had reported that
there were fifty miles of such wires that
he knew about. Heaven knows how
many miles there may be counting the
dangerous communications with wires
that should be harmless. Before the
meeting adjourned the Mayor and the
Board were served with injunctions re-
straining them from interfering with the
wires of the Brush, the Manhattan, the
Harlem and the United States Illuminat-
ing Companies. Expert Wheeler said he
thought that there were others which
could be found, and he went out to find
them with Commissioner Giiroy.
Thomas A. Edison was interviewed
with reference to the subject of danger
Gus wires, and he said that no insulation
could make high tension currents safe in
transmission. In his opinion the sub
ways would not remedy the evil, but
might even carry danger into offices and
houses through connections with pipes
etc.
1t is said that the number of accidents
which have lately occurred can be traced
to the action of the companies in
increasing the tensions of currents. In
cases where they have been forbidden to
put up new circuits they have made con-
nections with old ones, and have raised
the tension of their currents in some
cases to 5000 volts.
In spite of the flake" testimony in the
case Of Kemmler, the murderer, it Is
well known fact that a 1900 volt current
will kill a man who receives it as GER
tainly as would cannon ball fired
against his head.
The shocking death of Lineman Feeks
is almost certain to result in Limitation
of the tension of currents. Mr. Edison
suggests such an inspection as is given
to steam boilers.
Mayor Grant and Coroner Schultze of
New York will push the enquiry to the
last possible point with a view to ascer-
tanning where the responsibility should
be placed. The Mayor talks of taking
the case before the Grand Jury himself II
he can secure sufficient amount of evil
dence.
A box was nailed on the pole upon
which Feeks met his death to receive
contributions for his family. 1t was we'll

The Razor strop Man Is Dead.


The Razor Strop Man Is Dead.
OldSmith, the razor strop man of New
York, is dead Friday he was at his
stand in front of Vermilye & Co.'S as
usual, selling and praising his wares, and
resting between.whiles on his old cane
bottomed chair Just below the sidewalk
by Vermilye & Co. IS door, A short time
ago he was carried home unconscious,
probably suffering from Il paralytic
stroke, though he afterward said the doc
tor could not tell what allied him, but he
was soon at his stand again.
Yesterday morning he had an attack
of heart failure at his home, No 1885, East
Fortieth street, and died without suffer
ing pain.
One of the most widely known New
Workers, q real monument of the city,
has gone. Every old New Yorker aud
thousands of young ones knew the razor
strop man. The tide of Wall street flowed
past his old stand night and morning,
and Smith had so many friends and ac-
quaintances in the crowd that his head
had acquired regular up and down
motion, almost like that of those porce-
lain Mandarins with separate heads
delicately balanced to swing.
Each movement of the razor strop
mans head was q nod to an acquaint-
ance. Lots of those who spoke to him he
only knew by sight, although he was
proud to think that they all knew him.
But the big, important ones he knew and
called by their names. The Astors and
Vanderbilts and strings of such men
were his old friends, aud their habit of
stopping occasionally to shake hands
went long way toward making the life
of Razor Strop Smith the happy one that
it was.
Henry Smith came to New York in 1912
from London, where he was born, and set
up his stand in Printing House square
He was almost the original street fakir of
New York, hut not your common, noisy,
talentless fakir of today. He had a fine
voice and loud one; he was tall and
strong. He used to sing in praise of his
wares and tell the crowd who gathered
around the camp stool on which he stood
rare and exciting tales of his own com
position. He viii be long remembered.

The members CT the Tabernacle are
much distressed over the resignation of
Mr.. G. W. Clerihew as superintendent of
The Sunday school. Mr. Clerihew has
been an efficient superintendent for many
years, and the Sunday school feels that it
is losing one of its best friends, but ow-
ing to the serious condition of Mr.. Cleri-
hew's health he was forced to resign.
Much of the present prosperity of the
school, and it is one of the largest and
most flourishing in the city, is the direct
outcome of the hard work of Mr. Cleri-
hew, and 1t was with universal regret
that his resignation was accepted.

The first lesson OF the Pau.Amerlcan
Congress is to be found in the way the
delegates from southern countries are
Obliged to come. They are arriving on
European steamers, having twice cross
ed the Atlantic to get here, So they
must send and receive correspondence
and such freight as will notbear the de-
10y Of sailing transportation.
There mightbe regular and expedite
GUS steam communication between this
country and the Republics Of the South
without opening up the trade which we
desire; but it is clear that without this
communication the desired trade cannot
be had. To secure this result the Coun'
try can well afford to assist it in estab'
lishiug and maintaining American steam
SLIP lines.
We may call this assistance what We
please, subsidy or mail service. The
name does not matter as long as we gel
the service. With such steamship ser
vice as we ought to have aud can have
and such attention to the South Ameri'
can markets as they require, new field

field Europeans have long cultivated
with energy and tact, and from 1t they
have reaped a rich harvest.

gress has been called, and every citizen
