Faults of Many Mothers.

American women Of all classes are,
as rule, siufully negligent Of some of
the duties which pertain to health,
especially exercise In the open air.
The excuse that their many cares EN-
gross them. and that they. in conse-
quenoe. have but little opportunity for
leaving their homes, is scarcely suffi-
Client The number who actually can
not enjoy, each day. an hours outing,
must be small indeed, even among the
class forced to work the hardest Not
only do many women fail in this re-
spect in their duty to themselves. but
their young children suffer in conse-
quenee Of the same neglect. From one
weeks end to another, during the
winter, not few of them keep their
huddled around the kitchen stove. and
the result is we find them, as spring
approaches, weak. puny and ailing
In such families colds. coughs, sore
throats and the like are common affec-
tions. There is scarcely day during
the coolest season when even the baby
can not be safely taken out of doors
Mothers should understand that upon
the daily enjoyment of fresh and open
air depends. in great degree. the
health OF their little ones. as well AS
themselves; ii is, in fact. absolutely in
dispensable TO the well-being of all

i UnioatoKn telegram 10 the PiitsbG'ga
Tss4es. Of last Wednesday, has this to say IN
regarl to the alleged moonshiners operating
in this county
The work IS carried on in what IS known
As tie Tinkey -Pritts settlement, on the bor-
sders Of Somerset county. In fact, some Of
the men engaged live in that county. The
country is quite vel settled. and there are
at least = or 81 reputable land holders who
are directly Implicated in the unlawful
work. In fact. they are very generally re
pnted TO have bought and raid for their
farms with money gained from the product
Of their stills. They have Desperate for
their chief, who would scrnple al no vio-
lence 10 prevent the detection OF his nefAri-
Gus work. Ii is impossible for stranger To
90 among them and learn anything Of their
secrets. If he asks where he can purchase
wkiskey, be viii probably be told that the
PARTY with whom he talks has heard that It
is 10 be obtained somewhere in the neighbor-
hood, but he canno; tell where Perhaps
the party giving this snswer may even then
have still at home in full working order
Ifthe ques,ioner makes himself too numer-
Gus and insists on having the stuff before he
is youched for, he is liable 10 be run out Of
the place and his pace accelerated with clubs
and stones.
As sample Of the means 10 which these
men are willing to resort when threatened
with exposure, I may tell you that some
time ago the two sons of justice Of the
peace in the neighborhood procured whisky
from them and went on a most disgraceful
drunk. The father learned Of it and forced
his sons 10 tell where they got the stuff He
then sent word to the uoonshine makers
that he meant TO prosecute them For an
swer. they said that if he did they would
burn his barn and house, and moreover, for
firing the latter wonid choose time when
he and his family were all in it, This threat,
coupled with the appeals of the bows. pre-
vailed, and the old man refraintd from en-
tering suit
It is said that before selling the youths the
whiskey they required them TO take most
appalling oatIi never to testify against the
makers of the stuff
There is plenty OF demand for the liquor
In the first place, they all drink themselves.
In fact there are some who make just what
they want, and no more. Then there IS no
place for miles arOand where whiskey IS
sold legally, and as there are always people
who want it, the moonshiners thus become
their own retailers. or course they could
not afford TO risk selling it to legalized
wholesalers, nor could they risk buying it,
but there are still plenty of people who viii
brave the penitentiary by selling without
license. and our moonshiners have found
not a few customers among them.

The Death OF a Republican Con-
gressman Causes ApprehensIon.


WAsHISGros, August 1.-THE death Of
Representative Laird, of Nebraska, announc-
ed to-day, emphasizes the gravity Of the sit
uaiion in the body Of which Mr.. Laird was
a mensher, and the slight majority which
tbe Republicans vill have for the purpose
Of organization Is discussed this evening
more than ever before. While the Second
Nebraska district is considered surely Re
publican. there is always a chance for defeat
and the Democrats are already canvassing
the possibilities.
Republicans are little scared, however, as
they have great confidence that the manage
ment OF Quay and Clarkson. Of the National
Committee, VIII prevent any reduction Of
the majority in the House by the loss OF
district which naturally belongs TO the party
They VIII insist on the sinking Of personal
ambitions and factional quarrels, and the
nomination Of the most popular candidate
available, that there may be no doubt Of the
result on the ground Of weak selection.
The death Of Mr.. Laird was announced at
the White House shortly before the depart
ure Of The President for Deer Park, and was
a suhiec; Of conversation. The President
indmaica that while the election Of Re-
publican 20 succeed the dead Congressman
would really strengthen the Republican ma
jority. a. one would doubtless be elected
about WHOSE ability to attend the sessions Of
the House there would be no question, that
result would not DO away with the argument
advanced in favor Of called session. and he
said that lie had almost fally decided to call
such a session in the interests Of an early
organization. and he added that the extra
session would probably he called about the
middle Of October.

The subsequent arrest Of Judge Field
Is only further attempt to infict per

or even breach Of the peace He was

would-be assassin. What Nagle did was
done instantaneously, and there was no
time for completely on the part of Judge
Field or Of anyone else. 1t is as great an
Outrage to attempt TO hold Judge Field
responsible as It would be TO hold that

DEPUTY SAGLE JUSTIFIED IN KILLING TERRY.
ISDIAxAPoLIs. August lG.-Attorney Gen
eral Miller, speaking to-day OF the killing of

il has ever been Necessary before to provide
protection for United States Judge In
case Of trial, suppose | viii be called 10

ever be trial. / though; the protection
Of the officers of the law might be necessary,
and knew something about the desperate
character OF the man with whom Justice
Field had to deal. If a Justices life was in

ances, but plainly indicated that he believed
Deputy Nagie was justified in killing Terry.

~IN regard to the act Of United States
Marshal Nagle, says the Philadelphia
Times, '-there can be only one opinion
lie could not stand idly by and see a
Judge Of the Supreme Court murdered
before his eyes. The coutumely that
Terry sought TO put upon the Judge was
only the insul, that was 10 70 before pre-
meditsted murder. The case has no
moral except the certainty that violent
life will end in a violent death"
