The Preventive of a Terrible Disease.
No disorders, excepting the most dead

To prevent this disease. COT should

DANGER AHEAD.

While we confidently believe that
statehood will be achieved for Wyoming
at the present session of congress there Is
nevertheless the possibility of failure
staring the people in the face. We have
seen much more or less important bust
ness disposed of even during the tendency
of the silver bill. The understanding
was that the Wyoming bill would come
up Immediately upon the definite dis
posal of the silver bill IN the senate. This
promise is beng technically complied
with, but much irrelevant business is
being sandwiched 10 between the breath
ing spells 10 the discussion of the silver
bill, with the result that the disposition OF
that bill is being strung out to an uncon-
scionable length while the close OF an
already prolonged session stares US in the
face.
With these facts before them the ques-
ton is whether the people of Wyoming
are going to stand idly by and let every
thing go according to its " sweet will
or on the other hand whether they will rise
in mass and by their numbers and en-
shusiasm make it clearly manifest to the
senate that something must be done and
that right speedily.
There can be no doubt in the mind Of
any thinking man as to the proper course
to pursue in such an emergency. The peo'
pie themselves must be up and doing if
they hope to achieve the glorious results
of statehood, otherwise there is the posi-
bility OF everything going by the board
for the present session and indefinitely
thereafter.
II, therefore, behooves the people to
be up and doing. Matters have already
passed that stage when it Is within the
power Of one man, or half q dozen men,
to accomplish statehood. 1t is now a
question With the entire people. Every
man who favors statehood should now
show his hand, and show it 10 no uncer-
tain or halt hearted way. The proposition
published in smother column that every
board Of trade and every city council
throughout the territory should adop,
strong resolutions earnestly urging upor

of the by-electiOns was of such char
acter as to make him most sanguine of
the speedy return of his party to power,
his hope of such cOnsummatiOn was
not based solely on that fact, but as
well upon the assured conviction that
the tide of public opinion was surely
turning in their favor.
Mr.. Gladstone lives a very regular
life at his home He breakfasts lightly
about o'clock, and shortly before 8
walks to the church for prayers. To
the intelligent observer the sight of the
great statesman walking to church at
this early hour in the morning cannot
fail to be interesting. Glad in a long
coat, tightly buttoned, with a long
shawl wrapped closely around his neck,
and wearing a soft felt hat, his appear
ance is decidedly picturesque. Upon
his return to the castle from morning
prayers he retires to his study, where
he reads and answers, with the aid of
his secretary, his enormous mass Of
daily correspondence.
There is no regular hour for luncheon
at the castle, and it is partaken of by
those at home at various times. In the
afternoon Mr.. Gladstone takes a walk
in the grounds, and if the weather is

tie exercise of tree-chOpping. He dimes
at 8 o'clock, afterward reads or writes,
and at 1Oretires for the night. Though
abstemiOus in his habits, he usually
drinks bitter beer with his lunch, and
a glass or two of claret or port at din
ner Mr.. Gladstone is not in any sense
ascetic, is a generous liver, and is
great believer in the virtues of glass
of good port wine. When engaged in
speaking his flip is a compound of
sherry and egg, which is prepared by
Mrs. Gladstone with as much anxiety
and care as if it were the elixir Of life.
Mr.. Gladstone never smoked. He &C
quired his habits at a period when
tobacco . smoking was generally re
garded as somewhat vulgar among the
better classes.
Mr.. Gladstone usually has three
books in reading at the same time. and
changes from one to another as his
mind reaches the limit Of absorption,
or when he fancies that the volume in
hand has interested him just enough
not to be the sole object Of thought.
This mode Of reading is intended to be
corrective of natural disposition Of
his mind to devote attention to some
particular subject to the exclusion of
everything else.
In Mr.. GIadstone's study, besides
his books, which are seen everywhere,
there are three writing desks IN the

tatI0n as a parliamentary speaker the
intense gravity and earnestness of his
utterances carrying conviction to the
minds of his hearers. In over fifty
years of public life he has either insti-
gated or participated In a series Of
measures which have caused a most
admirable change In the English laws
and government, the most notable be
ing the extension of the franchise to
every man who has an established
home.
He was born at Liverpool En-
glishman by birth, but of Scotch de-
scent. His father was a wealthy mer-
chant, who acquired a large fortune in
the West India trade.
He was educated at Elton and the
University of Oxford, and graduated
before attaining the age of twenty-five
years. He entered Parliament In 1882
as a member for Newark, Nottingham
shire, which borough he continued to
represent until 1916. During these
years honors fell prOfuseIy on the head
of the youthful cOmmOner, Handsome
Gladstone" as he was called. At this
time he was a constant contributor to
the Quarterly Review" chiefly on
literary and ecclesiastical subjects.
In 1884, he was made junior lord of
the treasury, and three months later,
under secretary for colonial affairs. In
1871, Mr.. Gladstone was made vice
| president of the council and master of
! the mint. In 1913 he relinquished the
! first named of these Offices in order to
! assume that of president of the board
OF trade. In 1915 he entered the caEi-
net as secretary for the colonies, under
| the premiership of Sir Robert Peel
! but soon resigned this Office and also
! his seat in Parliament. In 1851 Mr..
Gladstone broke away from the con-
| servative party. The following year
! he became chancellor of the exchequer,
! a position for which he showed a mar
/ YeIOus aptitude, handling the national
! accounts with an easy mastery, and
| presenting them before the House OF
! Commons and the country with degree
! Of elOquence which perhaps had never
/ before adorned so unSttractiye a mat

/ In 1858 Mr.. Gladstone declined a
/ position in the cabinet, but accepted a
| special mission to the IOnian Islands.
/ In June, 1859, he again became chan

/ PaImerstOn, at whose death, in 1865.
/ Mr.. Gladstone became the leader OF

! In 1868 he became premier for the first
/ time, which Office he held until 1874
when the conservative reaction dispIac-

Irish land bill of 1870, and also an edu-
| catiOnal reform bill; he abolished the
! purchase of commissions in the army,
and established the system Of voting by
ballot in elections.
In 1880 the country welcomed the
liberals back into power, and Mr.. Glad

Office he held until 1885, with the ex-
ception of brief intervals. Under this

A MINER in Rhonoda named David
Davis is just now an interesting sub
ject for medical doctors and doctors of
divinity. He was a victim of the ter
rible explosion Of Pen-y-Craig in 1880.
He was bed-ridden for four years, re
covered sufficiently to be able to go
about, but was completely deaf and
dumb. His doctor hit upon a novel
plan to restore his hearing. He was
placed by the side of big gun during
target practice. After the sixth shot
his hearing came suddenly back to him,
but he remained dumb The other
day one of his companions said some
thing to him that put him in a tower
ing passion, and his speech returned in
a flood of profanity.

HENRY WOOD, farmer near Beach
City, Stark County, Ohio, welcomed a
plausible young stranger claiming to
be a son of a deceased brother from
California. The newcomer had the
family history quite pat and was treated
as one of the family, furnished good
clothes, loaned a good deal of money,
and obtained a lucrative situation. He
courted and was engaged to daughter
of Wood, as he was supposed a cousin.
The day before the marriage the chance
arrival of an old friend OF the Califor-
MIA brother made known that his only
son had died several years ago. The

had made his deception easy.

In a report Just issued, she Trans
pOrtatiOn Committee Of the Scranton
(Pa.) Board of Trade seeks to prove
that cuIm, or anthracite waste, is the
cheapest fuel there is, and, as there are
mountains of it in that city, that Scran-
ton Is an excellent place In which to
locate all sorts of manufactures. The
report gives as the relative cost a day
of different fuels per horse power per
boiler Anthracite coal, prepared sizes,
5 to 8 cents; bituminOus coal, 4 TO 6
cents natural gas, to 5 cents; cuIm,
J to 2 cents.
The cheapness Of cuIm, as fuel, over
natural gas, is shown in the fact that
steel rails are made In Scranton with
culm for less than it costs to make rails
in the same way with natural gas, so
that rails can be carried three hundred
miles from Scranton to PittsbuTg and
be sold there for less than rails made
in the latter city with natural gas.
The report claims that cuIm fifteen
years old has been used with salts
factory results. 1t also asserts that the
flow Of natural gas diminishes gFadU-
ally in every we'll and finally ceases,
thus necessitating the opening up Of
new territory and indicating a time
when this fuel may be dearer than coal.
Although the Scranton cuIm mount
aims are not ineXhaus6ble, they are,
with the constant additions Of new an

years to come. With the general adj

ADAM FoREPAUGH, it is said, never
smoked nor chewed tobacco, nor drank
Intoxicating liquors. His success was
due to thorough application to his bust
ness and to shrewd business methods.
He was kind at heart-especiaIIy so to
animals-rough IN exterior, fond of a
joke, naughty and brusque to his en-
plOyes, except heads of departments,
and he attended to the smallest details
him seIf. When all went well he used
to go to his bed in his private car every
night at 10 o'clock; at home this was
his invariable hour of retiring. He
always sat at the main entrance of the
show, and his face was more familiar
to the great mass of people, rich and
poor, and in every State, than probably
any living American.
