rhe Lycsum League of America.

The Lyceum League of America.
EDITORS HERALD: The Lyceum
League OF America, which was organ
lied by the Youths Companion only
about year ago, is now attracting the
attention of the nation. The Youths
Companion is the headquarters from
which charters are issued to the lyce-
ums when organized. This paper or
ganizes and equips each lyceum to
which charter is Issued. There ia a
general constitution for the government
OF the entire league, and each lyceum
makes it's own special laws and rules.
At the present writing there have
been over 1860 charters issued, and
over 1900 lyceums are in active work.
Hence over 95 per cent of the lyceums
which have been organized are yet in
actual operation, which shows the spirit
in which this new venture has been re-
ceived.
The object of the league is to promote
good citizenship among the young men
OF America, I'd by ytraining them to think
Tor themselves, (2) by making them in
telllgent upon the issues confronting the
American people, (3) by impressing
them with the duties of citizenship.

says, orations and debates which are
held at the meetings of the lyceum.
Every state and territory in the United
States except Delaware is represented in
this league, which testifies to the earn
estness Of the coming generation to un-
derstand political questions and to be
able to act with good judgment.
There are at present over 10000 mem
bers in the entire league. Membership
is open to all young men and lads OF
sufficient age to take an intelligent
part in the exercises. Lyceum No. 538
has been organized in the Los Angeles
high school. While there are at present
no members except high school students,
the membership is open to all who wish
to join, provided tnat they are favorably
passed upon by the lyceum.
There can be no doubt that the influ-
encis OF the league will be seen at no far
distant time. The young men who are
members will be educated upon the
questions which they will soon be called
upon to solve, and, therefore, they can
act wisely and for the good of the ma
ton which they serve.

The Father Of Many Ills.

Constipation leads to multitude of physical
troubles. 1t is generally the result of careless
ness or Indifference to the simplest rule of
health. Eugene Mckay of Brautford, ont,
writes:
constipation, had taken a great many different
remedies, some of which did me good for a
time but only for time, then my trouble came
back worse than ever. l was induced py a
friend, whom BRANDRETH's PILLS had bene-
flied, TO try them. Took two each night for a
week, then one every night for about six weeks
slightest difficulty whatever, and my bowels
move regularly every day. / believe firmly
that for sluggishness of the bowels and bilious
ness BRANDRErH's PILLS are far superior to
any other" -717T

Says silver Controls Prices.

WASHINGTON, March 29-George o.
Jones, the well-known Greenbacksr, has
issued a chart showing how, as he claims,
the price of silver has controlled prices
for wheat and cotton between the years
1871 and 1892 The chart shows that the
price Of wheat has generally advanced OF
declined from q to IS cents per bushel, and
cotton from 20 to 40 per cent. on an aver.
age rise or fall OF 20 cents per once in silver
"These figures says Jones, "clearly
prove that all legislation intended to adj
vance the price of silver is not solely to
benefit the prod Icers."

PTrTsBCRG March 2L-The mystery of
the death of the thirty-one miners in the
Hill Farm mine is being solved and the

1t was on June It, 1890, that the fatal ex-

miners escaped but thirty-one were locked
in by the fire and falling coal.
Twenty-Five Months of Labor.
The Dunbar Furnace company since then
has had force of men at work putting
out the fire, pumping out the water and
trying to recover the dead. After twenty

Only one of the twenty-three bodies found
was identified, that was little John Deva-
ney aged 10. The bodies were in pretty
fair state of preservation. The remaining
eight bodies will likely be recoveder today.
