THE PERMANENCE OF EVIL.

Extract from a Lecture by DIR. j. III. KEEL
logg, of the Battle Creek Sanitarium.
Probably no class of men see strong
| er illustration of the surety of reaping
that which is sown than do physicians.
There is a certain permanency in evil
not generally realized, for in a certain
sense it is impossible for any effect of
evil to be entirely obliterated. To il
lustrate: Suppose man going on a
journey leaves the direct route and
takes side track. Finally he retraces
his steps, and although he may eventu-
ally reach the same destination, he
can not possibly make up for
the time lost nor have the
same experiences as if he had
kept along the direct route at the out
set. Character is largely the result of
daily personal experience which produce
results more or less permanent.
Instead of discussing this question in
its moral phases, allow me few words
as to the permanence of evil as related
to our physical constitution, which is
often appalling when soberly consid-
cred. A man with a good constitution
ought to live one hundred years if he
behaves himself properly. This is not
an extravagant idea of what normal
length of life should be. Now suppose
that this would-be centenarian should
receive careful training in his youth,
but as he goes out in the world and
mixes with people he finds those
who are gratifying depraved appe-
titles and finally acquires bad
tastes himself. He learns to use
condiments and other things which are
not wholesome and which his natural
instincts teach him to avoid. He
s1nothers or neglects to keep alive his
physical conscience until, by and by. it
goes to sleep on certain questions just
as the moral conscience goes to sleep
by continued shining. He does not con-
troll his appetites, passions, or emo
tions. Instead of eating what he ought
to eat to keep himself well, he eats
merely to satisfy depraved appetite, at
irregular intervals. and in inordinate
quantities. The probabilities are that
his life will be cut short at forty, or he
may drag out miserable invalid exist
ence for ten or fifteen years longer

THE USE OF SOAP BARK.
A Valuable Auxiliary in the Cleaning O


Valuable Auxiliary in the Cleaning of
Clothes.
There are very few women who I'M
derstand how to use soap-bark. It is
the very best cleaning material in use,
Nothing else cleans black silk or black
wooden dress so satisfactorily Five
cents worth will clean an entire dress.
1t may be purchased at any druggists
in the city or country. being commonly
used by all tailors in cleaning gentle
mems clothes. 1t may be used to clean
almost any dark cloth, but it possesses
color enough in itself to be liable to
stain delicate color. To prepare soap
bark for cleaning, pour about a quart
of boiling water over five cents worth of
the bark. Let it boil gently for two
hours, and at the end of this time strain
it through piece of cheese cloth. Put
the liquor in a clean pail Have ready
smooth board of suitable size. and
have the dress to be cleaned all ready,
ripped shaken and brushed free
from dust. Lay each piece OF
cloth one after another on
the board, and sponge it thoroughly on
| both sides, rubbing carefully any spe-
| cially soiled spots. After all the clotf,
| is sponged fill large tub full of colo
| water, and rinse each piece of the goods
up and down in it, one at a time, so as
to remove thoroughly the soap bark.
Wiring the pieces through the wringer,
| lay them in a heavy, clean clothes bss-
| ket, and when all are rinsed and wruns
| out begin pressing the first that we're
rolled up. Iron them on the wrong side,
| if wooden cloth. till they are dry o,
| nearly so; then hang them on a clothes
| horse to air for at least twelve h.r,rs.
| The cloth should hang in a place free
from dust. and when it is put away ii
will look like new. If the dress to be
cleaned is silk, after thoroughly spong.
| ing it in the soap-bark lay it on a clear
| board and sponge it off with clear cod
water on both sides. Wipe off all the
excess of moisture you can. Pin the
| smaller pieces of the silk on i sheet
and hang the sheet outdoors in a shady
place. where no sun can reach it, or
| throw the sheet over the clothes-horse.
Silk prepared in this way looks very
| nice It will need slight pressing on
the wrong side when it is made up to

COLUMBUS, O.. June 12.-The situa-
ion at the ore docks at Ashtabula, O.,
among the strikers is assuming a seri-
Gus aspect. Adjt.-Gen. Dill has been
requested to call out the militia to
quell the anticipated trouble. The
communication to the adiutant-general
numbers the strikers at 500, of which
two thirds are willing to resume work,
but are compelled to lie idle by the
others. who are becoming violent. In
case work is resumed the rioters
threaten to interfere, and both the
mayor and sheriff feel powerless to
auell the disturbance that seems inn
m1nent.
Col Gibbons of the Fifth infantry
holds fifty men of the Geneva rifles in
readiness for immediate action and asks
reinforcement of 100 men. He thinks
that by placing the soldiers on the
ground the rioters win go back to work
without trouble. An order is at least
requested to protect the dock property.
Adjt.-Gen. Dill replied to notify him
Immediately if the situation becomes
alarming. Gov. Campbell will be at
Berea to-day.

LONDON, June 12.-The walters OF
Brussels propose to strike against
the payment of fees by guests
Their objection is that the largest
share of the fee, or pour-boire,
goes to the proprietor, and that the
walters share does not make up for the
non-payment of wages The walters
therefore ask that the pour-boire be
abolished and regular wages paid. The
proprietors are reluctant to make the
concession, which would benefit the
customers by leaving them the money
now paid in fees. The public sympa'

L-ECEY'S REPORT.

The Comptroller of the Currency Finishes
His Report on the keystone National
Bank of Philadelphia-A Reply to the
Philadelphia Council Communicable
Suspension of Bank-Examiner Drew.
WASHINGTON, June 12.-Mr. Lacey,
comptroller of the currency, has COM
pleted the preparation of his report in
regard to the keystone national bank
of Philadelphia and will submit it to
the president this afternoon. 1t is very
long and exhaustive document and gives
detailed and circumstantial account
OF the comptroler'S action in the mat
ter, together with the reports received
from the examiner in charge, on which
such an action was mainly based. The
president will transmit it to the mayor
of Philadelphia as full and complete
response to the resolutions of the COM
mittee of the council. Comproler Lacey
will not appear before the local COM
mittee conducting the present investi-
cation in Philadelphia. the authorities
here having concluded that it would be
establishing bad precedent to allow
any body other than congress to invcS-
tiGate federal officials and to have ac-
cess to official records of the
government. 1t is expected that
the comptroler's report will sup
ply all the information in
that officers possession required by the
committee conducting the municipal in
vestigation. A fact that does not appear
TO be generally known is that Bank Ex-
aminer Drew has been suspended from
duty pending the result of an investiga-
ton into his administration. and has
been instructed to examine no more
banks in his district for the present.
The announcement of MIR. Drew's
suspension was not exactly surprise
to the authorities and others who have
been interested in the keystone and
Spring Garden bank complications.
This was not due to any particular
knowledge affecting Mr.. Drew's integ-
rity, but grows out of the open dispute
between Mr.. Drew and Comptroller
Lacey respecting the formers reports
TO the treasury on the condition of the
Keystone bank before it was closed.
District Attorney Reid heard of the
suspension while trying a case. He
said he was very sorry for Mr.. Drew
but declined to be interviewed on the
subject.
Receiver Harvey knew nothing about
the suspension, but said that such a
move was quite natural in case where
there was such divergence of views
between an officer of the government
and his subordinate. Late yesterday
afternoon, on being shown the dispatch
from Washington announcing his sus-
pension, Bank Examiner Drew stated
that some days ago the comp
troler wrote him desiring a con-
ference on the situation in Phil
adelphia and suggesting the pro-
priety of his not resuming his work
until such conference was had. and that
yesterday he received telegram from
the comptroller stating that he would
fix an early time for the conference.
He presumes that this is the foundation
for the reported suspension.
Mr. Drew added that he had prev
iously requested of the depar tment a
full investigation into his official con-
duct. feeling confident that it will re-
suit in his complete vindication.

will cease on Septem Der l. OF course
it will. because the law so prescribes.
There never has been any question on
that point The question has been
whether the treasury will be able to
pay off these fifty millions eight hun
dred thousand dollars bonds at par, as
the law prescribes, in September, or
whether, by the usurpation of power as
sumed only once in the history of the
country, by Secretary Window, in 1881,
the treasury would undertake to ex-
tend the bonds, and on this point, with
the trickery characteristic of the Har-
rison administration. the treasury order
reads that ''such bonds that are not re-
deemed on or before september 1 may
be extended for an indefinite period
with interest at two per cent" livery
one knew, as soon as the state ment OF
the appropriations of the late congress
was published that the four and one
half per cent. bonds might be paid or
might not be paid. Everyone knew
that if they We're paid the treasury
would be compelled to use up part of the
one hundred million dollars in gold re-
served to secure pay special payments'of
the greenbacks, and everyone knew that
if they were not paid the treasury de-
partment must assume Illegally pow
ers lodged in congress, and must violate
openly the provisions of the sinking
fund act. And now the treasury de.
partment merely notifies the public
that it has not yet decided upon which
horn of the dilemma it will finally take
it's seat The Harrison administration
is acting on the theory that the people
are fools and that it can deceive them
to the actual state of the treasury.
President Harrison himself and his
coerced cabinet, we venture to say, are
the only persons who hold to this
theory.-Albany Argus.

court by the grand jury which inves-

United States soldiers, April 25. A
true bill was found against only seven

ion of the book is.
Any little anecdote about the char
acters or the places where the scene is

Explaining the Case.

Lord Chief Justice Coleridge, who
visited America not many years ago, is
a man of great ability and wide learn
ing. During his tour through the coun-
try he stopped at one capital where he
was given a dinner at the expense Of
the state.
The feast was an abundant one, and
all the great men from miles around
were invited to it to honor the lord
chief justice. His honor had the gov
ernor on one side of him at the table,
and the lieutenant governor of the
state on the other side. AS the party
sat down the menu cards had already
been laid beside their plates. These
cards were very fine. They cost twen-
ty-five dollars apiece, and they bore at
their heads the state coat of arms, upon
which was engraved motto in Latin.
AS Lord Coleridge sat down he took
up this card, and looking at the motto,
said to the man on his left, Very
good, indeed, and very appropriate"
whats good9" asked the lieutenant
governor.
II refer to these words" said Lord
Coleridge, as he pointed to the motto.
"Yes," replied the lieutenant gov
ernor, with a knowing look. 'Them
words is Latin. "-Exchange.
