a WIDE SPAN OF LIFE.-Mi IS Sally
Lilly died at Conewago, Pa, Jan. 9th,
in her Goth year, having been born
Oct. %, 1900. When young girl she
used to ride with the young folks of
her time to Martinsburg to visit her
relatives, the McSherrys. Mrs. An
a.tasia McSherry, buried in st. JOS
eph's Cemetery, this place, was the
daughter of Mr.. Samuel Lilly, who
died at Conewago in 1858, and he
was the grand father of Miss Sally
Lilly. The Lillys were among the
first settlers of Conewago, as the Nc
Sherrys were Of near Leetown, JEFF.
ferson Co. She was a highly esteem
ed and widely known lady, and own
ed some of the best ground rents in
Baltimore, that are now in the heart
of the city, but when she was young
girl were considered within the limits
of the town. Her life spanned nearly
the whole history and growth of this
government. She saw generations
come and go, and now passes away
with the close of century,-the
last of good and true type of woman
hood. that possessed all the virtues of
the women of tc-iay, but little of
their fashions and fcllies.

Grippe is really bad cold with
lots of imagination added. Keep
quiet, rest and don't worry, and the
grippe will do no harm. At the same
time the utmost caution is needed. In
1887, the influenza led to more deaths
in England than the cholera five years
earlier. The experience of Paris and
st. Petersburg shows that from three
TO four weeks past before the malady
reaches its height. The New York
returns point in the same direction.
Last week in New York, the intiuen-
"a about doubled the deaths from
bronchitis and phthisis, and trebled
those from pneumonia as compared
with the average for FIVE years past,
and the current week will, we fear,
show worse results.

Does Experience Count 2

1t does, in every line of business, and
especially in compromising and preparing
medicines. This is illustrated in the
great superiority of Hood s Sarsaparilla
over other preparations. as shown by the
remarkable cures it has accomplished.
The head of the firm of l. C. Hood &
Co., is thoroughly competent and ex-
perienced pharmacist, having devoted
his whole life to the study and actual
preparation of medicines He is also a
member of the Massachusetts and Ameri.
can Pharmaceutical Associations. and
continues actively devoted tosupervising
the preparation of aid managing the
business connected with Hood s Sarsapa-
riila.
Hence the superiority and peculiar
merit of Hood g Sarsaparilla is built upon
the most substantial foundation. In its
preparation there is represented all the
knowledge which modern research in
medical science has developed, combined
with long experience, brain-work. and
experiment. 1t is only necessary to give
this medicine a fair trial to realize its
great curative value.

The London Lancet. the higbes

The London Lancet, the highest
English medical authority among
the periodicals, has apparently in
spired some of the London CORE
spondents of American newspapers
with the fear that cholera will come
next summer in the wake of the
Russian influenza. Cholera is now
in Persia and Kurdistan, on the
Mr.lers of Turkey in Asia and
Russia in Asia, and not so very far
from Great Briiain's Indian posses
sions. As the grip has affinities
with diphtheria and typhoid lever it
would also be we'll for our own peo-
pie to put their bodies in sound,
fighting condition and make their
domiciles wholesome by removal Of
all decaying matter and the free use
of disinfectants.

POPULARITY OF PROTECTION.

The natural impulse Of our people
is for Protection. Every election IN
which the issue has been distinctly
made between free foreign trade and
protection for domestic industries
has proven that The demand for the
former is the voice Of a minority,
and that maintenance of the latter
is the fixed determination of the
majority of American voters. Even
that branch of the fiftieth congress
which, under the guidance of selfish
leaders, suicided by passing the
Mills bill, went up from the people
with majority committed to Protec-
ton. A knowledge of these facts
will account for the INCONSISTENT pleas
of those who still find it for their
interest to join with foreigners in
the demand for lowering the barriers
to the importation of foreign pro-
duets.
Ignoring the fact that larger for
tunes have been made in this coun-
try by those who distribute goods
than by those who manufacture,
these free trade attorneys seek to in
cite prejudice against the latter and
gain votes for policy intended to
enlarge the profits of manufacturers
in other lands. The inconsistency,
the outrageous injustice Of this,
voters are expected to overlook in
their anxiety to get cheaper goods
cheaper because made where labor
can be had for less money than it
costs here.
Protection discriminates in favor
of the American manufacturer who
gives employment to domestic work
men and keeps the profits from his
business in this country where it is
made to contribute to the public
good. Free trade discriminates in
favor of the alien manufacturer who
employs alien labor, the profits from
which go to the enrichment Of
foreign nation. Which is most di'
rectly IN line with patriotism and
sound business principles Z?

to find that they are to be turned
over to the mercies of a civil-service
board naturally excites among them
a feeling of something more than
surprise, The fact is daily becoming
more apparent that the ciyil-service
law has come to stay, and neither
party would have the temerity to
advocate its repeal. 1t is detective
IN many respects, and experience has
shown that it is not so thoroughly
adapted to our institutions as it is to
those of a constitutional monarchy.
The objection is raised that it places
nearly all the appointments to office
in the hands OF a few college probes
sors, and excludes from this line of
honorable employment that large
class of deserving people who have
not received the benefits OF a liberal
education. In England the govern
ment is made the asylum for all the
poor sons OF the aristocracy, but 1
hope that such a state ofthings may
never come to pass in this country.
The Committee of Ways and
Means have been holding daily SEES
sions during the holidays to hear the
views and arguments of persons who
wish a modification of the existing
tariff laws; and in this connection it
is somewhat remarkable that the
farmers, who. our democratic friends
assert, are so badly oppressed by a
protective tariff, have not appeared
before this Committee and stated
their grievances. The farmer prob
ably knows as well as anybody else
that the low prices prevailing for
farm productions is due to oTer-pro.
duction and not to our system OF
protection. Some of the most earn
est advocates who have appeared
before this Committee have been
the wool.growers of Texas, and their
arguments seem to have been IN
auswerable even by Mr.. Mills him
self. They stated that it cost 19
cents a pound to produce wool in
the state of Texas and deliver 1T I'D
Boston, whereas the farmers IN
Australia can produce and deliver it
IN the same city at 6 cents per
pound. They were candid enough
to state that the policy advocated by
the democratic leaders would prove
their financial ruin.
Much interest is felt here over the
result of the Senatorial election in
Ohio from the fact that portion of
the democratic party are making a
vigorous fight against Mr.. Brice on
account of his great wealth. This
gentleman was considered unobjec
tionable as chairman of the National
Democratic Committee, and the
democrats even smiled complacent
ly when Mr.. Brice opened his bank
account so freely in their behalf dur
ing the last campaign, but now that
Mr.. Brice aspires to political recog
milton they come to the conclusion
that be is a "monopolist." Every
patriotic citizen should deprecate
the undue influence of money in
politics, but on the other hand, it is
certainly very senseless business
to attempt to disqualify a man SIM
ply because he has accumulated a
fortune by his energy and activity.
If man can start in life without any
more advantages those possessed by
the ordinary American boy and &C
cumulate a score of millions it is
pretty conclusive evidence that he
is made of good material.
