EYE WITNESSES FROM ST. JOHNS.
A veritable Graveyard"-Arrival of the
Miranda at Halifax.

" A yeritable Graveyard"-Arrival of the
Miranda at Halifax.
HALIFAX, N. s., July 15.-"The place
has the appearance of veritable grave
yard " was the remark made by an officer
of the steamer Miranda, which has arrived
here from the ire-stricken city of St.
Johns, N. F. The steamer, at the time
of the fire, was at Pilley's Island, getting
cargo of ore, and when she arrived back
at st. Johns on Monday the principal
part of the city, or about two thirds of it,
was a mass of smouldering ruins. The
people were wandering about the streets
homeless, and in many cases with but
scant clothing.
Everybody, however, was waiting an
xiously for the help promised from the
outside world. The portion over which
the flames swept had been principally
wood, but the few stone or brick houses
in the locality crumbled away almost as
rapidly as those built of wood. One of
the Miranda's crew, resident of St.
Johns, found that his little house was
gone and his family of five had lost every
thing, including his months wages, which
he had only been paid when the ship first
reached there, and which he had given to
his wife for safe keeping. The homeless
ones now, thanks to the military and
naval authorities of Halifax, are comfort
ably housed under canvas.
When the steamer left, the place was
clouded in dense black smoke from the
burning coal in the sheds along the wa
ter front Those who witnessed the fire
say the sight was grand and awful one
and in many cases heartrending. Little
children who had got astray from their
parents We're running about in the excl
ted crowds crying, and in many cases the
little things were not recovered till next
morning. The most extraordinary thing
| about the disaster was the small number
of lives lost-about seven so far as is
known.
BosToN July 16.-Mayor Matthews has is
| sued an appeal to the citizens of Boston to
| contribute to the relief of the ST. Johns,
| n. F., sufferers. He offers to receive sub
| scriptions, to be used through the agency
of the relief committee appointed by the
| citizens of Boston.

An Open Letter.

Sawyer Medicine Co:
GENTLEMEN-Having been asked many times
by my friends, reasons for the decided change in
nv health and appearance, it occurs to me that
a public statement may be of benefit to many
sufferers For twelve C2I years / have been
greatly afflicted with Erysipelas. Repeated at
tacks had broken my general health, reduced
my vitality. and a result of a torpid liver, nv
complexion was ruined by numerous moth
failed to give me even temporary relief Oace
started the attack was sure to run Its course of
from six to nine days. during which time the
agony endured from the dreadful burning and
itching, words cannot describe. i have been
rubbed with cloth till it seemed the skin would
break, but the moment the rubbing ceased the
itching began again. Ny condition became des-
perate and had given up all hope of perma-
nent cue when you gave me a bottle of your
Dande ion Compound. 1t YVES taken with no
faith and the second bottle began In the same
way, but before this was exhausted began to
improve. The Erysipelas showed itself at first
was gone. then bought six bottles, took the
| medicine faithfully. ard constantly improved.
All symptoms of the disease gradually disap-
peared, my appetite returned, gained In flesh.
| and my complexion became so smooth and clear
that my friends exclaimed: why what has
| changed you so? What are you taking?' I am
now on my second six bottles. For the last six
/ months have had no sign whatever of Erysipe-
| las, and believe have been entirely cured by
friends have taken the medicine with great bene-
i fit. Trusting that other sufferers from blood
| diseases may receive as much good from it as /
have. am yours truly.

Senator Aldrich says that Republicans
gains in Rhode Island were the largest
where there was the fullest discussion of
the tariff. That is natural. Rhode Is
land is manufacturing state and the in
terests of its laboring men demand the
continuance of protective tariff. The
laboring men readily saw that when the
matter was called to their attention and
voted for the party in favor of protecting
them against the competition of the un-
derpaid labor of Europe.

WOMEN AS ORATORS.
1t is Chiefly the Lack of Voice that Handi-
caps Their Success
indianapolis JournaI.l

NAeppOitS
1t is not everybody who has yet grown
up to the idea that the female orator is
an essential part of the social fabric, and
yet we have her suddenly with us and
taking the prizes away from the sex that
has hitherto enjoyed practical monop-
oily of the oratorical arts and graces. 1t
is not worth while to question the pro-
priety of woman's appearance on the
platform, AS matter of fact she ap-
peared there some time ago, but as a
speaker, hardly as an orator in the prop
er Sense. 1t has been several years now
since the sight of woman as public
speaker created even ripple of emotion.
She has been presiding at temperance
meetings and club gatherings :she has lee
tured to public mblies; she has made
political stump speeches; she has even
preached sermons--all without arousing
excitement or serious opposition. The
TACT IS, women have arrived and the
people who are slow to adjust themselves
to the situation are at a disadvantage.
II, however, woman will address her
fellow citizens from the stage or the
stump, it is better that she should do it
acceptably. Even the most ardent friends
OF advanced woman-those who have
kept her In sight in her rapid progress
toward s'emancipation''-are obliged
to confess to frequent wish that she
wouldn't when she essays to electrify the
multitude. She may be earnest and elo-
quent, she may be witty and wise, but,
as rule, she cannot speak. Her voice
gets away from her; she is alternately
shriH and husky; she shrieks when she
would be emphatic; she whispers
hoarsely when she would persuade.
Sensitive and sympathetic members of
the audience incline to crawl under
the benches. She has, in short, voice
that was trained by ancestry and early
environments to domestic uses, and has
not grown to the requirements of hall
Henceforth this will be different. Col
leges recognize this lack and are pre-
pared to remedy it. If any female stu
dents show oratorical talent or are am
bilious to become spell-binders, oppor-
tunity shall be offered them. The woman
of the future, and of the near future,
who speaks in public on the stage may,
if she likes, be the Daniel Webster, the
Henry Ward Beecher or. the Chauncey M.
Depew of her sex. Whether the young
woman who SO proudly bore the orator
ical pennen from the male contestants of
other Indiana colleges recently will
choose to follow up her victory is not yet
known, but if she does she will undoubt-
eddy win renown. The public will wish
her to come give us a taste of (her)
quality"

The Andover Review for April is one
of the best numbers of the Andover.
Professor Schaff opens with vigorous
criticism of the Calvanistic system which
he regards as half truth to be super
seeded by the whole truth. Rev. G. H..
Dickinson contributes an admirable
paper on the Perfecting of Jesus. 1t is
an outline of Beyschlag's Leben Jesu

details in such manner that the main

man writes judieially on the Sources of
Authority in Religion with special refer

tum. Rev. VIM. W. McLane discusses
the Problem of Progression in tile Punish
ment of Criminals. Rev. Frederic Pal
mer furnishes the first of a series ON the
Contributions of the Several Churches to
the common cause of Christianity His
standpoint is that of an Episcopalian, and
his contention is that others have bor-
rowed many good things from the Prayer
Book, and will borrow many more, but
he does not think they will go beyond
this, and accept Episeopacy as whole.
The editorials are on The Repression of
the Critical Attack on the Deity of Christ,
The Recent Election in the Province of
Quebec, Noah Porter, and The Present
Question in Regard to Applicants to the
American Board. The theme of the

Above all things the Democratic party
love success. For that they will abandon
their dearest principles. as in fact they
have frequently done in the past, and Mr.
Cleveland may be sure that they will not
let any affection they may feel for him
stand in the way of throwing him over
board if they think they can win better
