Don't Be stingx.

Economy is not stingineSS.
1t is getting out of thing all there is in
It, and not expending twenty volumes of
heat to boil one volume of water, not pay

the barrel of apples and buying barrel Of
acid at the druggists later on, for the
apple juice is much the cheaper medicine
of the two.

Claims Against tho Government.

Never was anybody so pestered by duns
as Uncle Sam. Claimants who say that he
owes them money are always swarming
about the Capitol when congress is in ses-
sion, while thousands are clamoring con-
tinually by letter for payment. Some Of
them are cranks and not a few of them are
frauds, but many are honest creditors,
hopeful or despairing Of settlement. Nu-
merous are the bad debts recorded against
the government, which has been accused
often Of never paying anything unless it
was compelled to pay.
True stories Of lives ruined, fortunes
wrecked and homes destroyed in the prose-
cution of just claims against this govern
ment would ill volumes. Unpaid victims
haunt the Legislative lobbies from congress
81 congress, pursuing the delinquent debtor
with never dying hope, while scores OF
others are relegated to the poorhouses and
the lunatic Esylums. Some Of the claims
are handed down by the creditors from
generation to generation, legacies usually
productive OF misery and unhappiness.

Music I'm Heaven.

The thrum Of harpstrings; siNery
psalms; music from the golden wires; the
echoes of angel trumpets; the praises of a
thousand choirs; harpers harping with
their harps; the shout Of one hundred and
forty and four thousands on the summit of
the holy mountain with the Lamb; the song
Of victory sung by the redeemed church;
the tuneful voices of the ten thousand
times ten thousand and Thousand of thou
sands; the hallelujah choruses like the
noise of many waters, and the sound of
mighty thunders, in which Thanksgiving
roars like fiery flame and gratitude swells
like an infinite tempest. These hallelujah
choruses arg nothing short of sacred
storm.
No element has the place in heaven that
the element of music has. In it are sobs
and antiphonal responses and full choruses
aud magnificent inbilates. The angels
sing; the nations sing; the white robed
multitudes sing; the four living creatures
sing; the four and twenty elders sing; out
burst of praise follows oatburst of praise,
rolling east and rolling west, rolling north
and rolling south, until the very throne of
God trembles and quivers with praise.

throughout the country as far as the de-
mocracy is concerned. Mr.. Cable said:
"The outlook is exceedingly bright
throughout the country. In the west we
certainly have great cause to feel very
hopeful. We have good prospects in
Illinois, while Wisconsin is surely demo-
cratic. don't think there is possibility
of doubt about Wisconsin being in the
democratic column in November, while
with proper work l think we shall carry
other western states which have hereto
fore been regarded as safely republican. ="

consequence of the dangers of the cholera
epidemic, MIR. Cable said he would not be
at all surprised if the fair was postponed.

eccentricity. Melee of Dublin" in
which John T. Kelly is the starring
comedian. supported by Miss Florrie
West and Miss Matte Vickers. While q
clever entertainment was presented, the
comedy did not come up to the full ex

not il it. The scenery. songs and dances
are new. but there is nothing particularly
catchy in the music, although Mr.. Kelly
makes the most of whatever is allotted to
him. particularly that entitled There
are Moments When We'd Like to be

and quite a clever singer. Matte Vick-
ers is always favorite. and her speciali-
ties are taking. but she has lost her voice

doubtless improve as it grows. Matte

1t comes here with a powerful, strong
cast and will undoubtedly prove one of
the strongest attractions Of the season.
Inasmuch as the dialect of the stolid and
imputable Swede is both novel and
funny, and as the incidents Of the play
are both hilarious and exciting, and as
the piece is presented by the best farce
comedy company now travelling. there is
little doubt but hat our play goers will
