when my attention was attracted to the
Electropathic Institute of 507 Penn avenue,
Pittsburg, and its method of treatment.

they made an electrical diagnosis of my
case, discovered the true nature of the
disease and pronounced it durable. The re-
suit has verified their verdict. l am cured
My catarrh, my deafness and the discharges
from my ears are thoroughly cured. My
general health is better than it has been for
years, and nv exhausted nervous system
has been completely built up. 1 cannot too
highly recommend the physicians. of the
Electropathic Institute for their skill and
science, their perfect and varied electric
appliances and their intelligent use of them,
as shown in my desperate case"
This young man is, as has been said, very
favorably known in the village of Port
Perry, and his rapid and complete recovery
from an apparently incurable disease of
years standing has given great surprise as
well as much pleasure to his numerous
friends there.

GOV. BoIEs ON PROHIBITION.
He Opens the Iowa Campaign for the
Democrats at Cherokee.

Democrats at Cherokee.
CHEROKEE, Ia, Aug. 23.-This was
Democratic day in Cherokee. Governor
Boies was the principal speaker. The
prohibition law, tine Governor declared, had
proved failure, and he cited the fact that
4,095 persons in the State, or an average of
more than Al in each county, hold Federal
licenses for the sale of liquors, to say moth
ing of bootlegsers and joints in counties
where no open saloons exist, Continuing,
he said:
The simple truth is that the penalties
which this law inflicts are in many in
stances hideously cruel, and their con-
sequences to entirely innocent parties
are so serious that no man
possessed of a human heart can
turn deaf ear to the appeals that are con-
stantly being made to the Governor for re-
lief. I do not underestimate the evils
of intempernnce. yet don't hesi-
tate to declare that the enforce
ment of this law, as far as 1t has been en-
forced in this State since it's passage, has
pauperized more families and inflicted
greater suffering on wholly innocent parties
than all the intemperance that would have
existed in the State if the sale of alcoholic
liquors had been absolutely unrestricted
during that time.

A BIG CLUB SCANDAL.
The Pacific Union Gets Hilarious the Night
of Members Funeral.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPATcH.I
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 23.-The Pacific
Union Club, an aristocratic organization
and one of the leading clubs of the West,
has set the town to thinking. Judge Ogden
Hoffman, of the United States Court, who
died last week, was one of the oldest club
members, and resided at the clubhouse. The
annual dinner of the club was postponed on
account of Judge Hoffman's illness and
death. Notwithstanding this, Mr.. E. j.
Pillsbury gave an elaborate dinner party in
the clubrooms on the night of Judge Hoff-
mans funeral, in honor of Justice Stephen
j. Field, of the United States Supreme
Court.
1t was hilarious dinner, with plenty of
wine and song. Among those who clinked
their glasses in the clubroom were Senator
Fair, General Dimond, NJ H. De Young,
Congressman Morrow and others. There
were II courses at dinner, and the story
teller kept up the fun until daylight. Great
indignation is expressed among club men
at the bad taste they believe Mr.. Pillsbury
and the Chief Justice to have shown.

Mr.. Thomas McGreevy, a well-known
railroad brakeman residing at Port Perry,
in speaking of his successful treatment with
the physicians of the Electropathic Insti-

ears were large and most distress

and unpleasant appearance. Ny head

so affected my stomach as to seri-
ously impair my digestion, and
my nervous system was almost ruined. I

CANNOT TURN BACK.
soThe Republican party of Kansas

'The Republican party of Kansas must
continue to indorse prohibition until
other parties cease to denounce ana assail
it, then it can consistently and honorably
omit it from its platform and leave it to the
loyalty of the people to enforce, as Mr.
Higgins suggests.
The agitation has stirred up hornet
nest, and the straight-out Prohibitionists
are getting to the front, preparatory to
beat back any invasion, as they term it,
from the enemies of the cause. The ultra
prohibition Republicans do not hesitate to
say that if the party should go back on
prohibition, a third Prohibition party
would rise up in Kansas and poll 60, 600
votes, which would largely come from the
Republican party On the other hand, the
Republicans who indorse Secretary Hig-
gins views believe they would gain more
than they would lose in dropping the mat
ter entirely.

DRIFTING FROM THE OLD PARTIES,
The Third Party Has a Majority of Friends
in the Texas Alliance.

DALLAS, TEX, Aug. 23.-The Farmers
State Alliance, which has been in session
here for nearly week, finally adjourned
tonight. Aside from adopting the Ocala
platform and reaffirming the sub-treasury
scheme, it took no other step in a political
way.
But in canvassing the delegates, the third
party was found to have more friends than
enemies. 1t is useless to deny that the
tendency of the Alliance is to drift away
from the Republican and Demo cratic par
ties.

and demanding the repeal of all special

RESCUE YOUR OWN KIN.
And while you are saving strangers you
may save some of your own kin. You think
YOUR brothers and sisters and children and
grandchildren all safe but they are not
dead, and no one is safe till he is dead On
the English coast there was a wild storm,
and a wreck in the ofing, and the cry was:
'TIan the lifeboat,''
But Harry, the usual leader of the sailors
crew, was no: to be found, and they went
without him, and brought back all. the ship
wrecked people but one. BY this time,
Harry, the leader OF the crew, appeared and
said:
"Why did you leave that one?" The an
swer was:
'He could not help himself at all, and we
could not get him into the boat"
"Man the lifeboatT' shouted Harry,
"and we will go for that one"
NO." said his aged mother, standing by,
"you must not go. lost your father in a
storm like this, and your brother Will went
off six years ago." His reply was:
Mother, must go and save that one
man, and if am lost, God will take care of
you in your old days"
The lifeboat put out, and after an awful
struggle with the sea, they picked the poor
fellow out of the rigging just in time to
save his life, and started for the shore.
And as they came within speaking dis
tance, Harry cried out:
'We saved him, and tell mother 1t was
brother Will"
Oh, yes, my friends, let us start out to
save some one for time and for eternity,
some man, some woman, some child. And
who knows but it may, directly or indirect
ly, be the salvation of one of our own
kindred.

IN THE MAIL.BOX.
Where Little Lulu Put the Kitten She
Wanted to Give Away.

In a warm bed in an old soap-box in
the cellar old Tabby kept her three
little black kittens. says the Youths
Companion. But sometimes when she
sprang into the cellar window and
went to the box she found it empty.
Then she always went upstairs to the
sitting-room to look for her kittens. and
she was sure TO fiud Lulu playing with
them.
Lulu was only years old, and she
liked to play with the kittens better
than with her dolls She would dress
them up in the dolls clothes. and take
them to ride up and down the room in
her little carriage and put them in the
dolls bed aud try to sing them to
sleep.
Lulu was very fond of her little
cousin Amy, who lived in another part
of the city. and came to see her some
times. and she thought she would like
to give Amy her kittens.
So one day she put the three kittens
in her apron very carefully aud carried
them TO the street corner. on which
stood a big mai-box painted red.
1t was for packages and newspapers
that could not be put in the little box.
Lulu had very often seen her man.
ma put packages in there to send away,
and she thought that in order to send
the kittens to Amy she had only to put
them in the box.
So she lifted the lid and dropped the
kittens in one by one. Then she ran
home, very happy over what she had
done.
When she had played with her dolls
little while she went upstairs to her
mother and asked if ) o'clock had come
yet.
1T is almost o. said her mother.
Then Amy will almost get my kit
tens" said Lulu for she had heard that
the carrier came every day at c, clock
to take up the mail.
Her mother asked her what she
meant. and when she heard that the
kittens had been put in the mail-box
she laughed Il great deal.
Il think we had better 20 out and
see if they are still there" she said to
Lulu.
They reached the mail-bOx just in
time, for the carrier had opened it and
taken the kittens out, and very much
surprised he looked. He was very glad
to put the three mewing little creatures
into LIiu's apron. and she carried them
home again. where Tabby was looking
for them and growing very uneasy.
Amy was given one of the kittens the
next time She came to sec Lulu, but she
carried it home in her arms, and did
not try sending it by mail.

The White Traders in Africa.

Lord Wolselev has very poor
opinion of the white trader in Africa.
He says it is useless to appeal to his
humanity or feelings. The average
trader, he says does not care whether
the vile alcohol he sells claims more
victims tran war or pestilencc, or
whether the arms he barriers for oil and
ivory cause large districts to be laid
waste by the slave dealer. If he only
grows rich he cares nothing for all the
suffering he may. inilict, though Lord
WolSelev adds that the mouth of this
same trader Is often filled with moral
platitudes when he speaks in Europe
on African topics. Lord Wolseley
thinks African questions should he

opinions of African traders.
