A womnn,s sad Journey.

Mrs. W. G. Buchanan. an invalid who
has lost the use of both her limbs, passed
through Union station yesterday morning,
on her way to her home in Wellsburg. As
she was taken off the train, truck bearing
a long box was hurried past. At the sight

disease became deeper seated it attacked his
lungs causing much pain in his chest and vio-
lent cough. In fact he coughed night and day,
and in the night his cough was simply terrible.
He could get but little sleep. and would often
waken with such a smothered feeling he
could scarcely get his breath. He had
no appetite, and what little food he did eat he
would feel like vomiting up. The gas that
formed in his stomach after eating gave him
great distress. Helost flesh, and his lungs be-
came so weak he could not lie on either SIDE.
Every change of weather would cause him to
take cold. Night sweats further weakened
him until at times he was unable to do any
work. 1t was while in this condition that he
began treatment with the physicians of the
Catarrh and Dyspepsia Institute. He says:
ing. and the above history of my case is true.
At first noticed that my nose and throat
would clog up in the evening" and thought
was taking cold. As l treated with several
doctors, and got no better, became disgusted
with doctoring for it seemed as if 1 never
could be cured. Finally friend advised me
to try the physicians of the Catarrh and Dys-
pepsia Institute, at 1923 Penn avenue as his
wife had been cured by these doctors. This
gave me some hope. and l decided TO take

LONDON, July 19.-The new Premier of
Cape Colony, Mr.. Cecil Rhodes, is an I'm

with his principles to give Mr.. Parnell
a1O, 900 to help Ireland to obtain home rule
he has boundless belief in the future of
Africa, and, il he had his way would

He founded and is still the titular head and
guiding spirit of the British South African
corporation, which has always been anti
German and anti-Portuguese in its policy.
Taking these circumstances together, it is
considered probable that there will be seri-
Gus trouble in South Africa. As the pessi-

probable that they will be disappointed.

The greatest truths are the simplest, and

To persevere in ones duty. and to be sill

In your patience ye are strong. How
poor are they who have no patience.
The soul that perpetually flows with kind

There shall follow still, and find thee,

DON'T KICK.

Here's piece of advice I'll give to you. bub.
Old man. old woman chick
No matter what comes. matter what goes.
Don't permit yourself ever to kick.
If the world as it gravely goes jogging along.
Throws the thorns in your path fast and thick
Dodge all you can, and step on the rest,
But of all things. pray you, don't kick.
If you throw yourself into political strife,
And get hit with political brick.
You will show your good sense by holding your
jaw,
And never once making kick.
II you play for winning and draw out blank,
And some other chap makes the thing stick
Just swallow the dose like good little man,
And for heavens sake, don't make kick.
Take things as they come. they'll be right in the
end.
If you're hungry, rich. beggar or sick,
You'll only be wasting your valuable time
If you use it in making q kick.
And II. in the end. when you pass in your checks
You're gobbled right up by old Nick.
And 60 where there's fire and nothing to drink.
You'll be a darned fool if you kick.

THE NORTH DAKOTA PENITEN.
TIARY.

"A DcScrlDtlOA Ol TIC VSCA
Which Warden Dan Williams Holds
Sway. Thanksgiving Day.
Sometime ago the Fargo Argus made an
effort to describe the North Dakota peniten-
tiary. but failed to do it justice. The
prison is yet in its infancy. and. of course,
hasn't the various industries of older and
more pOpulous prisons. The number of
prisoners averages about sixty, and they
are employed on the prison and state cap
itol grounds. But as my object is to give
brief description of our prison 1 will begin
by stating that the prison was built in
1884, and the first boarders were ad-
mitted in July 1885. The prison is located
two miles east of Bismarck, and one eighth
of mile from the N. P. R. K. There is
forty acres of land belonging to the prison
but none of it is under cultivation. Three
acres constitute the prison yard which is
enclosed by board fence fourteen feet
high. There are two gates, one on the
north side and one on the south. A switch
enters the yard from the N. P. r. r. for
the purpose of conveying fuel and other
supplies to the prison. The buildings within
the yard are the carpenter shop. blacksmith
shop, paint shop. and tank house. The
barnes and stables are outside OF the wall.
The main prison building is 50x67 feet and
is four stories high. 1t is built of brick
with stone trimmings. 1t is devoted to the
following uses: warden's room, warden's
Office. deputy warden's office, dining room,
chapel. hospital. guards room, and library.
On the first floor is situated the kitchen,
bakery, store rooms. bath room, and barber
shop. The kitchen is 29x50 feet and is sit
uated in the east side of the building. The
bakery is situated west OF the kitchen, and
is 15x3O feet The store room is west of
the kitchen and bakery. All these rooms
are flOOred with white maple flooring. The
bath room and barber shop Is situated south
of the bakery and store room and separated
from them by brick wall. The bath room
is 2Ox21 feet and the barber shop occupies
the west side of the room. The prisoners
are required to shave, bathe and change
clothing once week, and those who work
inside of the buildings are shaved twice a
week.
The dollhouse, which constitutes tho
south wing of the prison. is 44x146 feet and
is built of brick with stone trimmings; the
walls are "a inches thick. The cellrOOm
has 21 windows ten on each side and one
in the south end. each of which is 4X6
inches and 1S feet in height. The windows
are protected by inch round bars of iron
inches between centers and supported by
cross bars inches wide by 1s inch thick
and "a inches apart. Our cells are suffi-
ciently lighted from these windows to en-
able us to read the finest print on the dark
est day. There are 16O cells and they are
5xS feet and feet high. The cell block is
four cells high. The cell floors are of con-

HOW GOD WORKS MIRACLES.
DR.. Wheeler Explains How 5000 People
Were Fed on the Loaves and Fishes.

Or. Wheeler Explains How 5000 People
Were Fed on the Loaves and Fishes.
Rev. DR.. D. H. Wheeler, President Of
Allegheny College at. Meadville, occupied
the pulpit of the SmithfieId Street M. E.
Church, last night. He delivered PLAIN
and practical sermon on Gods miracles, and
took for his text the parable of feeding
5000 people with five barley loaves and two
small fishes, taken from the gospel of st.
John. Among other things he said:
"We know that SOC, 100000 bushels
of wheat is produced each year.
Not one bushel of this is produced by man
without Gods assistance. He alone can
multiply things. This is his prerogative.
When we SOW bushel of wheat and reap
80 bushels we have not effected the gain; it
was God. We depend upon Him as an in
FAINT depends upon its mother. Nothing
can come out of mother earth which has not
been sprinkled with sunshine and watered
by God. Unless He does this our labor is
not productive. When we stop and reason
and find out how limited our power is, we
are filled with horrors at the thought of
Gods power being withdrawn. He gives
the products of the earth in good season
when we perform certain conditions, which,
as a rule, are always required. 1t every
thing in the way of food should fail this
year prices would 60 up and before next
spring the world would be starving to death.
We are only onlookers while God performs
the miracles. The miracle of feeding the
5000 people is analogous with the great
miracles of the present time"

A BIG SAMPLE ROOM TO BE OPENED
The Tariff on Wool Shutting Out the South
American Product.
ENGLAND GRABBING THE BENEFITS.

E. NJ. Acevedo, of Buenos Ayres Argen-
tine Republic, is registered at the Anderson
Hotel. Mr.. Acevedo represents Pierra &
Co., of New York, in South America. At
present he is engaged in making contracts
with American manufacturers to open SAM
pie rooms in the Argentine Republic and
sell Yankee goods on a small commission.
He has already made 45 contracts with
American firms, and he has come to Pitts
burg to see some of the glass men.
In short chat yesterday Mr.. Acevedo
said: 1.-THE American people make about
80 per cent of the articles needed in my
country, but their trade is captured by
European nations. The main drawback
against trade with the United States is the
lack of shipping facilities, but I expect to
see an American line soon established that
will make the trip to Buenos Ayres in IA
days. We now have to go to Europe to get
to America, and 80 days are consumed in
the voyage.
The English give us long credits, and as
the people are honest they don't lose any,
thing by it. About four years ago intro
dueed American glassware in South Amer
lea, and wherever 1 went it knocked out
English glass. 1 remember at that time
there was scarcely an English tumbler sold
in Colombo. In agricultural implements
and edge tools also the Americans have the
inside track.
Gas for fabrics, your manufacturers
usually make the cloth too long so that it is
difficult to transport it across the country,
and this is why the English cotton goods are
bought. Large quantities of American shoes,
however, are sold. The Massachusetts, people
make a shoe that is perfectly adapted to the
South American foot Our chief industry
is the wool trade. We have 70, 600, 900 sheep,
25, 600, 900 cattle and 100000 horses. If
the Americans would take the tariff off
wool we could import most of it here. Hides
and tallow are also staple articles of pro-
ductioD, and the proposed advance in duties
on hides is to shut out the
Argentine trade. The banking can't
tai Of nv State is $4,000, 900.
The Atlantic and Pacific road, from Buenos
Ayres across the Andes to Valparaiso, will
soon be completed. 1t will cost $40, ,000, 900,
and the English expect to use it as short
route to Australia. There are $3.50. 600, 900
of English capital invested in the Republic,
and scarcely dollar of American money.
Last year England's share of our
trade was ses.Ooo,ooo; Germany, s2s,;
America secured only $4,000, 900,
facilities The Republic has a standing
offer to put up 100000 at any time to SUBJ
sidize steamship line as soon as the United
States will contribute like sum.
"The population of the country is 5, ,000,-
900, with 200, 900 immigrants received an
nually, most of them coming from Italy.
We hope the American people will make
an effort to remove some of the trade bar
riers now existing"

In Foreign Lands,
At Butler Street NJ. E. Church special
Easter service was given yesterday morning.
AT the beginning of the servicel Mrs. DR..
Pearce read an interesting paper to the lit
tie folks. The subject of the morning SER
mon was "Christian Missions" In begin
ming Rev. w. F. Oldham said: SIT is be-
coming more and more the custom in Chris
tian churches to associate Easter and all
that it means to us with the passage: Go ye
into all the world and preach the Gospel
Let us for time this morning look upon
the missionary work in. other countries"
After speaking of the progress of mission
ary work in South America, Africa and
Europe, the pastor continued: Regarding
missionary work in India, speak as a
watchman who has stood on the mountain
to see the coming morning, and as one vino
has before seen the darkness. Why should
not India turn to Christ? There are many
reasons. Why do not our own people all
bow to Christ? Why is it that many of our
sons and daughters, brothers and sisters,
who are in the midst of religious teaching,
do not become Christians? The same reason
exists in India-the carnal heart of man."

TOO MUCH EASTER FINERY.
A Preacher Comments on the Prevailing
Practices of the Day.

Preacher Comments on the Prevailing
Practices of the Day.
Rev. D. S. Littell, of the Sixth Avenue
U. P. Church, yesterday morning preached
a sermon of more than usual interest to a
large congregation. In the course of his re-
marks he said: SIN the present observance
of Easter Day strong and evertincreaslng
effort is made to substitute physical beauty
for spiritual beauty. Nearly every church
in the two cities has arranged programmes
for the day, in which splendid music and
gorgeous decorations are given the most
prominent place. 1t would puzzle the most
aesthetic taste to decide what church its pos
SCISSOR should attend on this day.
"The true meaning of Easter is gradually
being overlooked. The English Easter is
derived from the name of the Teutonic
Goddess OF Spring, whose festal day occur
ring about this time of the year, was cele-
brated by the early Saxons. For this
heather festival the early missionaries SUBJ
stituted Easter Day. The real name of the
day is Passover and yet if the numerous
advertisements of Easter millinery, Easter
neckties and Easter flowers were headed
Passover millinery ETC., how strange and
uncouth the name Passover Day would be.
"In gazing at the beautiful crosses of
lilies and roses which deck so many altars
to-day, we are apt to forget the real cross,
that cross unadorned save by the bleeding,
mangled form of the Savior of mankind. In
the beauty of the floral decorations, the
music and the other accessories of the day,
when the vernal season seems ready to
spring forth into life, we are prone to forget,
or at least overlook, the beauty. of the Lord. "

A BRIDGE IN BAD SHAPE.
Foot Passengers Who Daily Fear TO Cross
Shaky Structure.

Foot Passengers Who Daily Fear TO Cross
Shaky Structure.
The Penn avenue bridge over the Penn
sylvania Railroad at East Liberty is in a
very bad condition, and people living in the
neighborhood are growing apprehenslve lest
the halfdecayed planks of the footway may
give way and precipitate them to the tracks
below. As one walks over the planks he
can feel them shaking, and occasionally a
playful lurch and rising up of one extrem-
ity of the causeway startles his equanimity.
1.-THE little rift within the lutte. with its
proclivities for slowly widening and making
the music mute, is nothing compared to the
decidedly big aperture which is a
feature of the Penn avenue
bridge, and which threatens to
destroy the whole structure. Large holes
appear where the decayed wood has given
way beneath the heels of passengers, and a
permanent resident of East Liberty declared
that scores OF canes and umbrellas slip
through these cavities weekly. Nor is the
frame work of the bridge at all sound. The
crossing of a light trap and buggy is suffi-
cient to shake the whole crazy structure to
its foundations.
The residents Of the East End are ex-
tremely anxious that something should be
done at once to remedy this miserable state
of things.
