The heroic act of Il. NJ. HUH, an engross-
ing clerk of the Ohio House OF Representa-
uNes, Is now tho talk of the people of
Columbus. one morning last week, Mr.
Hull accompanied by Mrs. William SaltZ

feet above the roof of the building,
and has two tiers of windows running
around IT, large pane of glass had been
broken in one of these windows, and
through this opening the little girl fell
head first, alighting on n projecting stone
or sill eighteen feet below. This ledge was
but three feet wide, and below IL fully
twenty five feet was the roof while hun
dred feet below was the court As quick
as thought Hull jumped through the brnk en-
window, hung moment by his hands and
dropped 10 the ledge, where lay the appar-
entity llteloss form of the little girl. How he
stoadiod himself to keep from falling over
the narrow place il miraculous. lie not
only steadied himself, but TAX ing the bleed
ing form of the child in his arms, climbed
a lightning rod until he was able To deliver
his precious burden 10 those who had been
attracted To the dome hy seeing his perilous
situation on the ledge. The mother was
quite beside herself with grief during tho
progress of his heroic achievement and
her JOY knew no bounds when her little
daughter, though bleeding and torn, was
restored To her.

A Mild Sensation.

A very shady story about James Cor
don Bennett, the Mahdi and Chinese
Gordon comes forward as the sensation
Of the hour. In its most startling form
the tale begins with the receipt by Ben
nett when at the Mereton club, in Paris,
Of dispatch from Cairo correspondent
stating that an envoy Of the Mahdi had
declared that Chinese Gordon was alive
and might be ransomed for million
francs, or two hundred thousand dollars.
Gordon at once raised the cash and set
out for Egypt. In this form the story Is
quite too wild for even the compliment
of an incredulous smile. The other YER
sion represents the ornamental editor of
the Herald engaged in useless discus
sion of the safety Of proceeding to Khar-
toum, or other fanatical and intolerant
Moslem cities. Several members Of the
club maintained with warmth that no
European could visit the Mahdi's capt.
tai and return alive, but Bennett de-
clared that any man with money and
brains could do II, and offered heavy
wager that he could do it himself. The
bet was taken and like hero of Jules
Verne the doughty editor set out at once
for Khartoum. This tale has at least
the merit of agreeing with the general
estimate of Bennett. He Is fond of adj
venture and notoriety, and the fame
gained for himself and his paper by such
an expedition might he sufficient com
pensation to him for the risk.
Very recently there have been stirring
accounts published Of the adventures of
daring men, who, with no other motive
than curiosity and a love ofcxploration,
have pierced i'm disguise to the very
centre of the most dangerous hot beds of
fanatical Mohammedans. One man,
who could not speak the language and
knew little of the life and customs of the
people, assumed the character OF deaf
mute, stained his skin TO the proper
color and managed to accomplish -
hazardous aud useless journey to n
mountain town of Morocco. He had the
pleasure Of overheariDg a group Of men
discussing rumorthat a"Christian dog
was In the town and would surely be
caught and killed. II Bennett has
taste for this sort of thing no one will
object strenuously, and he certainly will
be more picturesque and startling as a
millionaire explorer than in his custom
ary summer pose rs grand Mogul of
Newport. He may perhaps make the
trip with perfect safety by giving AS
surance to the Mahdi that great pile of
money will lie paid If he is allowed to
return unharmed. But Mohammedan
rulers have an unpleasant way of dis
regarding promises aud valuing revenge
and slaughter above money.

II pays TO he honest, you say.
Granted.
Yet how many are dishonest through ignor-
ancc, expcdiepcy. or Intentionally. One can
be dishonest and yet say nothing.

are cuipabiy dishonest.
Speaking Of the dishonesty Of medical men
reminds Us that only the past week there has
come under our personal observation form of
dishonesty which Is almost too mean for mar
ration.
n is generally known that doctors bind them
selves by codes resolutions and oaths not to
use any advertised medicines. Now, there Is
medicine on the market which. for tue past
ten years, has accomplished marvellous
amount Of good In the cure Of Kidney and
Liver diseases. and diseases arising from the
arrangement of these great organs,-we refer TO
Warmers SAFE Cure. SO widespread are the
merits Of this medicine that the majority Of the
doctors of this country know from actual evi-
dcnce that n viii cure Advanced Kidney DIS
ease which is but another maine for Brights
Disease.
The medical profession have put themselves
on record as admitting that there is no cure for
this terrible malady, yet there are physicians
bnsc enough and dishonest enough 10 procure
Warmers SAFE Cure In n surrcptitious manner,
put the same into PLAIN fDnf~DufiC' VINES, anu
charge their patients $500 per vial. when a six
tccn-ounce bottle Of the remedy, In It's original
package, can be bought at any drug store In the
world!for sl.25.
Perhaps the doctor argues that the cure Of the
patient Justifes his dishonesty, yet he viii
boldly stand upst III" next county medical
meeting and denounce Warmers Safe Cure az n
patent medicine, ana one which he cannot and
viii not use.
The nct is that the people arc waking up to
the truth that the medical profession Is far
from honest, and that It does not possess a
monopoly Of wisdom In the curing Of disease,
doctoring the many symptoms Of kidney dis
ease, instead OF striking at the seat Of disease
the kidneys themsclvcs-alowing patients to
die rather than nse remedy known To be n
specific, simply because II has been advertised.
ana when patients are dead from Advanced
Kidney Disease, stli practiciDg deception by
giving the cause of death In their certificate as
pneumonia, dropsy, heart disease, or some
other accompanying effect Of Brights Disease.
All this is priD,o Gucieievidence of incompe-
tcucy, bigotry and dishonesty.
We speak but the truth when we say that
Mcssrs. II. III, Warner Co., have done n most
philanthropc work for the past ten years In
educating the people up to the know ledge they
now enjoy, especially OF maladies growing out
of diseases of the Kidneys and Liver, and are
deserving of all praise for their honesty and

something about him. after his intimate
association with him for a couple Of
months. The public idea has been diff
ferent; regarding the attorney general
as simple lawyer, Of no great acquire
ment even In the line of his profession.
The fact that Harrison took Miller into
his cabinet affords good evidence that
Mr.. Jenks' view may I've right, for II Is not
probable that he would have taken his
law partner with him II he had not
wanted him very much. IL Is, we be.
lieve, a unique thing In presidential
practice.
II Is quite common observation, In
this life ofshams and deceptions, to find
that the pulling horse in team Is not
the snowy one. II often happens that
glory goes to one for labor done by
another. The wife may he the husbands
creator and the world not know IL and
silent partners may yield to the gaudy
plumagc Of one fame that his feathers
alone could not have won. All is not
gold that glitters, nor all dross that does

.wANAMAKEWs PROFIT SHARING.
A Rig sum For the Employees Distributed
on Friday,


Mr.. John wanamaker on Friday evening
distributed to 37s persons who had been
employed at his large store seven years and
upwards part OF the profits Of the last year.

salaries, with the sum given on Friday
night. aggregates for the year sl0i, ,3i5.6s.
The amount distributed TO employees In
this way In the previous year was sos, f39.-
6S.
In the course Of n speech of considerable
length Mr.. Wanafnaker said:
1--WE have paid the usual salaries, and
exactly s2l3, 3,7S536 more by this free will
distribution. Not one person, 10 the best
of my knowledge and belief would have
had any larger salaries had this plan of
distribution not been in force. Sothat II is
out of our pockets into yours. and without
any obligation on our part except good will
and interest in the welfare of our good
people. Under n system Of monthly ex-
aminations of individual records all our
clerks have had proper consideration ac-
cortling 10 merit, and perhaps fow salaries
have been reduced as above value of ser
vices, while many have been advanced
without solicitation. We allow double
interest on the principal Of these distribu-
tions.
''Tho checks given out tonight might
all have been larger, and II is a disapponl
mont to me that they are not You have II
earnest efforts 20 increase or diminish what
the firm has set aside for this distribution.
at is entirely out of place for any of you
to say, would rather have my salary in
creased instead of this check. ! am sure
your salary is all that your record shows
You to he entitled to, and your check is all
clear gain to you. When you are entitled
to more salary you will get IL, whether we
make distribution or not. None Is ask ed
or expected to stay who IL not fully paid.
II is stupid for any one to do that, and we
do not want stupid people.
! regret to admit that do not sec much
that has been gained by the experiment we
have made, except the satisfaction of max
ing the effort and the pleasure there IL in
giving to you share in our returns.
"Tbere Is n great deal Of foolish talk
about relations Of capital and labor. You
keep your savings and they become capital.
You are entitled Ia all that such capital pro-
ducos 40 long as You pay current and
proper wages to those who work for YOU.
When you have done that no man has any
right To ask or expect you to let him have
a part of your profits any more than he
has 10 live for nothing in part of your
house.
"If an opportunity offers To you TO lie
taken into consideration by your employer
other than on the basis Of common wages
you owe something for that extra consider
alton.
You arc not called to add money capital

enthusiasm. conscience, improved methods
and leadership, and these things count as

Mr.. ,Jenks. Oniniou

Solicitor General jerks having sue
ceeded in shaking of the office which
he promptly resigned when Harrison

TO deliver his opinion of the admins

back behind the distance stand.
Mr.. jerks gives US quite new ideas
about Quay's and Miller's position. He
thinks that Quay is playing 'possum in
letting the impression he created that
ne has little influence with Harrison.
he thinks that with his big lot of un-
deniaoie premises on hand, il is very
convenient for Quay to let the can
didafes think that he is out with tha
president. Mr.. jerks says that the situ-
alton Is quite otherwise that he knows
that Quay is often aud confidently con
suited by Harrison, who attributes his
election to Quay's guile plus his own
high consideration with the people.
FIRST came the greatness of Harrison as
the prime element in his success showed
along by the able manipulation Of this
chief marshal, In the battle.

interesting revelation that he has always
neen the best man Of the firm of

cent Is accustomed 10 lean upon him.
