CAUSES OF POVERTY.

The chief anxiety of most people
who are troubled with poverty Is
to hold up their heads in spite of 1t;
for the most part they do not con-
Germ themselves with trying to tig-
ure out what causes poverty. But
it IS good thing for the world
that some people do concern them
selves with the philosophy of the
things that surround them; and,
in the long run, the world is better
off for their research. Some time
ago the Herald, of New York, sent
to number of thinking men-pol-
iticians, poets, philosophers, mer-
chants. ETC., ETC., this question:
What, in your opinion, Is the
chief cause of poverty in this coun-
try at the present tuner" From
long chapter of answers, the
Helper culls few, and boils them
down for it's readers. Whether
accepted or not, the replies are
worth noting:
Prof. w. g. Sumner, Yale.--Fails
to give an answer eff we work
harder, learn more, save more, be-
have ourselves better, we shall not
abolish poverty, but we shall do
our best, and make the best of the
world and of our life in it"
Ignatius Donnelly-The lack of
property. The unequal and unfair
distribution of property, whereby
those who create it obtain little OF
it, and those who handle it become
possessed of most of it.
Chauncey NJ Depew- Lack of
self confidence. Many young men
are wanting in fxity of purpose.
Rum is the greatest cause of pow
erty; it is the cause of more pow
erty than all the other causes put
together.
Prof. G. X. Adams, Cornell-In
a country where liberty prevails,
the diligent and capable have the
opportunity of rising above the in
doIent and incapable. i Where
there is the largest liberty of indi-
vidual action, there will be the
largest inequalities among men.
Much of our legislation has
tended in many ways to increase
the opportunities of the rich and
to diminish the opportunities of the
poor.
Henry Clewes, banker-Drink !;
that one word tells the chief cause
of poverty at the present time in
this country.
Chas. Pratt-By far the largest
class of poor and idle people are
those who have come to want
through intemperance. Next to
drink, the greatest cause of pow
erty is the restless and aimless
character of many of our young
men. They have been brought up
to regard work as punishment or
as a curse. Intemperance is the
cause of more poverty and trouble
in our city to-day than all other
causes combined.
Edward McGlynn, D. D.-Pov-
erty is chiefly caused by injustice,
and the greatest injustice of our
time is the denial to men of their
God given birthright of access to
the land and it's natural opportuni-
ties.

Go! Went Gone.

The effort of Hon. Bennett H.
Young to carry away our Capital and
plant it at Louisville or Lexington
was failure, but we understand
that his capture of our "Old Proba-
bilities" is an assured success. Mr..
E. G. Went, to whom we are indebt-
ed for all the rain, hale and snow
that we have had and for precious
little sunshine, has arranged to go
with Col. Young tomorrow after
noon in his private car, on an expe-
dition against the great silver-sided
Tarpon of Florida. We hope Mr..
Vents exodus from Frankfort will
not prove permanent abandonment
and we wish the party better luck
with the fish than Col. Young had
with his Capital enterprise.

Death!"
If there is one disease more than
another that comes like the unbidden
guest at banquet, it is Catarrh.
1nsidiously it steals upon you, "with
no human BREATH" it gradually, like
the octopus, winds it's coils about you
and brushes you. But there is a med
icine, called DR.. Sage's Catarrh Rem
edy, that can tear you away from the
monster, and turn the scythes' point

wonderful remedy offer, in good
faith, standing reward of $500 for

Nerve.

There is nothing like it. 1t is the
foundation Of all action. The man of
Nerve is a success. The man without

are overworked, suffering with ner-

something to restore them again to
vigor and health. There is one med
icine that will accomplish the desired
result. DR.. Hale's Household Tea
cures nervous prostration, making
the weak strong and gives nature a
jog by putting all the organs of the
system into a healthy condition. 1t
is the finest remedy known. DR..
Hale's Household Tea, the great

The Trials Of Winter.

Winter is trying period, even to
those who have strong constitutions,
but it is doubly trying to those who
are weak and delicate, or who have a
tendency to the various diseases that
are bred and fostered in the stagnant
atmosphere of closed and heated
houses. The system should be kept
strengthened and toned up with a
liberal course of s. s. S., the great
blood tonic and purifier. 1t acts like
charm. 1t increases the appetite,
soothes the nerves, and beauties the
complexion-in short, it makes life

Capt. Holloway HI.

Capt. L. d. Holloway, Clerk at the
Penitentiary, was attacked suddenly
Thursday evening with fainting
spell, at his home on the corner of
High and Clinton streets, and for a
time it was thought he could not re-
cover, but he rallied and was some
better yesterday. The attack was
caused by heart trouble. No man in
this city has more warm friends than
Captain Holloway, and it is earnestly
hoped that he may soon be out again.

"Once there was a mosquito. This
mosquito had family of three young
mosquitoes in a nest up big tree. The
little mosquitoes said to their mamma,
Yves very hungry Then the mamma
mosquito went to a house where there
was nice fat baby asleep in a crib The
mamma mosquito carried the baby off
to her nest, and divided it up among her
children.
1.-TWO of the little mosquitoes had q
leg apiece, and the mamma mosquito
and the other baby mosquito each ate an

the fat baby was put away for supper.

circles when the official invitation. Is
officially received, it will be considered ID
cabinet. The first thing brought upon
the tapis, undoubtedly, will be the NC
kinleY tariff legislation. France is greatly
irritated over this measure, and IL must
have some effect in the way the cabinet
will treat the invitation. A prominent
member of the government said TO-DAY:
"Of course the Mckinley tariff bill Will
have to be discussed in the cabinet when
the invitation is laid before it. The meas
ure does not treat France so severely as
Germany, and that fact may lead to more
friendly reception of the invitation than
would otherwise be the case Then, again;
recent elections in the United States lead
us to believe that the Objectionable feat
ures of the bill will be removed in the
course of the new congress, so that 1t would
be bad policy for France TO decline to be
represented at the Chicago Worlds FAIR.
Furthermore, no Frenchmen can forget
the old ties which once bound together
France and the United States. or how 10y

States was the only great country that was

mornin-s outside the Office OF the minister

as possible, and thus get some OF the new
rentes or loans at the earliest moment pos.

crowd is increasing rapidly. Carriages
wealthy financiers or their rep

the crowd. and their occupants make Wig

doors of the financial headquarters OF
France. IL is thought here that in no other
city or country in the world is so much

a China Cabinet.

A family whose home is filed with bean
tiful old furniture have a cabinet Of fine
old china, and the cabinet, which brings
out the beauty Of the ware, is nothing
more nor less than TN old bookcase, which
the daughter of the house had fitted up
herself, for the display and safekeeping OF
the fragile household treasures She lined
the bookcase and covered the shelves. top
and bottom, with dark blue velvet, tack
ing it in place with gimpe tacks. On the
under side of each shelf she screwed two
rows OF small brass hooks, from which
were suspended by their handles the dainty
tea and coffee cups.
Canton flannel will answer the purpose
for lining quite as well as velvet. A mar
row strip Of wood, three inches shorter
than the width of the bookcase, tackled or
each shelf about two inches from the back,
will act as braces for the plates. set on
edge, and keep them from slipping down.
This would be very good way TO show
decorated china, and also ornament the
room.-Lsdies' Home Companion.
