Presbyterians to the Fore.

IT'S rather strange that the Presby-
terians should have come SO markedly
to the fore in the matter of presidential
candidates. Everybody knows that
President Harrison is a Presbyterian
elder. Mr. Reid is member, of DR..
John Halls church in New York. Elk
President Cleveland is the son Of
Presbyterian clergyman, and attends
Presbyterian church. Mr.. Stevenson is
connected with the Presbyterian church
through his wife, who is a daughter OF
the late Rev. DIR. L. w. Green, of DAN
Vile, KY. Gen. Bidwell has long been
the mainstay of the Presbyterian church
at Chico, Cal We ere not informed as
the religious connections of the Far
mers' alliance candidate. The only
thing for unbelievers and agnostics to
do is to vote that ticket, and hope that
that isn't Presbyterian, too.

Prof George Davidson of the Coast and
Geodetic Survey, who was one of the
pioneer explorers of Alaska, takes deep
interest in the recent reports of volcanic
disturbances in the far North.
''There is nothing really remarkab
about the recent volcanic disturbances in
Alaska" said Mr.. Davidson recently, "al-
though the event is Of interest. The
whole coast of Alaska, out to the east of
the Aleutian Islands, is the volcanic and
glacial region of the world. 1t is quite
to be- expected almost every week
that some of the numerous volca-
noes along that rugged coast will
break forth, fill the air with Gin
ders, ashes and smoke, and cover the
glaciers with nasty black sand and SCOT.

could not have seen Black Peak as reported,
for it isonly twenty four miles wes.-north-
westfrom his position. He saw Mount
Pavlof on the west side of Pavlof Bay,

from Chignik Bay. The man who was at
Wesnessenski island, lying off Pavlof
Bay, saw Pavlof volcano, distant from

.Pavlof is one of fifty volcanoes of the
peninsula of Alaska and the Aleutian
Islands, of which twenty five are in a
state of activity, shown by smoking.
Just west of Pavlof, about ten miles, lies
a cluster of peaks called Aghileen pima
cles, which are marked by craters. Paw
lof is in latitude ODD. 27s. north, longitude
181d. AIS west, and it has two craters. In
1894 and 1885, according to Russian au-
thorities, Pavlof was active, in 1888 it
was smoking, and in 1867 I saw it smok-

tee, by patriotic ladies of that city, who
presented it to Paul Jones.
The reason for placing only twelve
stars upon its blue field was that the
flag was made before Georgia had joined
the. confederacy.
When Jones took command of the
Bon Homme Richard he flew this flag at
her masthead as the American colors,
and fought under it through the Revolu-
tion.. 1t was afterward transferred to
the American frigate Alliance, on which
James Bayard Stafford served as mid
ship1nan and acting lieutenant.
About ten days before the battle be-
tween the Bon Homme Richard and the
English frigate Scraps, Paul Jones cap
tured British vessel of war and her
prize. an armed American ship, the
Kitty, commanded by Captain Philip
Stafford. The Kitty's crew were in
irons. They were released and the irons
were transferred to the British prison
ers. The crew of the Kitty volunteered
to serve on board the Bon Homme Rich
ard. Among these volunteers was
James Bayard Stafford, a nephew of the
captain of the Kitty. Being well edu-
Gated man, he was made an officer of
the Richard.
During the fight with the Scraps this
flag was shot away, and young Stafford
jumped into the sea, recovered it and
nailed it to the mast Of the Richard.
1t was the first flag bearing the stars
and stripes ever hoisted over an Ameri-
can vessel, and the first to be saluted by
foreign naval power.
When the Alliance, over which the flag
afterward flew, was sold, this banner
was bestowed upon Lieutenant Stafford.
and was kept by him and his widow until
her death, Aug. 9, 1861, when it came
into possession of their daughter, Sarah
Smith Stafford, who also carefully
guarded it up to her death in January,
1880. By her will it descended to the
present owner at Cottage City, who in
tends to keep it while she lives, and at
her death bequeath it to the Smithsonian
institution.
Paul Jones had three flags. The first
was flag with pine tree and a rattle
snake coiled, with the words, ''Don't
tread on me-" The second was flag
with red and white stripes without stars
or blue field. The third was the stars
and stripes here mentioned.

One fact strikes the inquirer at the
outset-it is very difficult to find time
when there were not more presidents
wives living than ex-presidents, and this
despite the fact that six presidents were
widowers when they took office and two
were bachelors, one of whom, James
Buchanan, remained a bachelor to the
last. Indeed some of the widows sur
vived to see generation to whom their
husbands were only historic characters.
and Mrs. Sarah Childress Polk outliEed
all the eight presidents who followed
her husband in succession, except Il. b.
Hayes, and of his successors she out
lived two. Including her husband, ten
presidents after she left the White
House preceded her to the tomb.
Of her successors it might be pre-
dicted Gf it were lawful to guess at the
lives Of those we love) that Mrs. Lucretia
Rudolph Garfield would most nearly re-
peat her experiences, for she is but sixty
years old, of a family with marked
tenacity of life.
Mrs. Julia Dent Grant was born in
st. Louis Jan. 26, 1926, and was married
Aug. %, 1S48 Of all our presidents
wives she has probably been most
fortunate She saw her husband rise
from acaptaincy to command the great
est army in the world; saw him twice
inaugurated as president; was mistress
of the White House for eight years, and
then accompanied him on tour around
the world, sharing in more oyations and
receiving more honors from monarchs
and dignitaries than any other Ameri-
can woman ever did.
It is the rule that presidents step from
office into obscurity. General Grant
was the great exception. Instead OF
stepping down he stepped up. His coun-
trymen had disputed bitterly about his
public acts. They rejoiced together at
his reception in the Old World. With
every days report of his progress the en-
thusiasm grew till the papers had much
more to say about the ex-president than
the man in office. When he reached the
Pacific coast on his return it seemed that
q nation rose to meet him, and as he
iourneyed across the continent it was as
though in a continuous triumph-the
day vocal with glad acclaims, the nights
Illuminated with all the resources of
pyrotechnics.
Of Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. Cleveland
the reader of current literature is kept
well informed The serious illness of
the presidents wife could but be mat
ter of general regret at any time. 1t is
matter of especial regret that it should
occur at such time as this. 1t only
remains to hope for the best, and if pos
sible find melancholy satisfaction in re-
flecting that regardless Of party ties the
svmpathv of all the nation is hers.

CURE FOR ALCOHOLISM.
Public Interest in the Mysterious
Gold Remedy Increasing.
Fully 10000 People Treated for Drunk
enness During the Past Ten Years.
Whore the Gold Cure People
Have Made Mistake.

The fact that a leading newspaper has
Just established in New York city six
gold cures for alcoholism increases pub
lie interest in the mysterious remedy.
The relapse and tragic death of its most
brilliant example, some two years ago,
together with the attacks of several sem
sational journals, were ses-SAck 90 the
new discovery which is has taken little
time to overcome.
During the past ten years fully eighty
thousand people have been treated for
drunkenness by the gold method. OF
this number fully ninety per cent. lost
all craving for liquor, viii lie the remainder
were only temporarily benefited. There
is an occasional case that cannot safely
submit to the treatment as the organiza-
ton has become so enfeebled by years OF
drinking, and so dependent on daily
stimulant, that there is no longer any
foundation upon which to build the
structure of health.
The gold cure people have made
serious mistake in claiming too much for
their remedies, and too little for the
doctors who administer them. Ths
medicines are powerful, and should only
be used by people who understand them,
and can intelligently counterfeit any un-
expected effects.
Several so-called branch insti tutes are
in charge of physicians who inject into
all sorts of people, young and old, weak
and strong, medicines in large doses which
they know absolutely nothing about Il
the patients show unfavorable symptoms
the doctors do not know what to do, for
the reason that they do not know what
they have already done. It is a fact how
ever, that every one of the principal Of
fees of the principal gold cures, where
common sense and ordinary medical
skill are shown, is brilliantly successful.
In proper hands the gold cure is a
blessing, but it is only medicine and
not miracle. Sometimes it gives only
temporary relief. Occasionally it Injuries.
The good results, however, as compared
with tho neutral or bad, are as ten to one.
The gold cure is come to stay. Its
mystery will soon be cleared away, and
every physician in the country will use
it as freely and as confidently as he uses
mercury and morphine.
Drunkenness cannot be doctored out of
the world in day, but the antidote is
known, and the plague must lose many
of it's terrors.

reaved Contemporaries nf Tennyson.
The poets and authors of Chicago are in
state of violent commotion. 1t seems
that when the news of Tennyson's death
reached this city a reporter for the
Times" was sent out to interview the
local poets and authors to ascertain, il
possible, whether the littcrateurs of Chi.
cago regretted the demise of the poet lau-
reate. The reporter interviewed Miss
Monroe, the poetess of the Worlds Fair,
Uncle Joe Kirkland, author of 'tZury"
and other novels, and DR.. Francis F..
Browne, editor of the "Dial." These
three and none other did the re-
porter interview, and the conse.
quence is that the ninety and
nine litterateurs who were not in
terviewed are madden than wet
fury will end. It is not enough. they
say, that Miss Monroe and Uncle Joe
Kirkland and DR.. Brown should have
expressed regret at Lord Tennyson's
death; who constituted these three q tri-

half OF Chicago, upon Lord Tommy sons
