HOW CAN WE DO IT.?
That Is What Is Agitatine
 The Public Mind.
We All Know That SOmethinG3Must Soon
 -. Be Done About It.
How To Meet a Great Crisis Among
 Our People.
Something must be done about it. There is no doubt about that.

SOmeChlng must be done about It.
 There is no doubt about that.
 And, that something must be done quickly, or it may be too late.
 On behalf of our readers we have made some very important investigations in this vicinity, and we have to report that our apprehensiOns were correct and are substantiated by the facts. We found that there is a greater proportion of our townspeople who are the victims of some form of nervous or chronic disorders, than ever before in our history. It issa fact beyond doubt, that these diseases are:increasing in our midst at san alarm ing rate.
 Feeling that something must be done at once in the matter, we have been in consultation and communication with several of New York City's most emi- nent physicians-all specialists in the treatment of nervous and chronic diseases, and we give our readers their opinions and advice as how to effect eyre in these cases.
 Dr s. M. Reynolds, one of New York City's greatest specialists, says unhesita- tingly and emphatically
 Use Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy in all such cases. l have never, in a practice of over twenty e years, recommended a patent medicine. This great remedy, however, cannot be considered under that head, as it is a physicians prescription. have used it among my patients and in my family, and l unhesitatingly pronounce it the most valuable remedy for the nerves I have ever used"
 Dr Henry Peffer, also one of New York Citys great physicians, says
 Tell your sick people to use Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve re- | medy. I have used it in my practice with | wonderful results. I have found it a perfect and complete cure for patients in my practice who were sufferinglfrom | all forms of nervous troubles, sleepless- ! ness, headache, nervous weakness. and debility"
 The great New York physician, Emil Neumer, MD, physician-in-chief of the pital, writes us
 | "We are using Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy at the Hospital for our patients with good success" l Other physicians gave us .the same | advice for our people, and; from the unanimity of opinion of the doctors, we are assured that this great and widely known remedy is just what our sick and suffering citizens require to restore them to health. All the doctors say that it does cure, and all sufferers from nervous ness, weakness, poor blood, debility, stomach, kidney or liver troubles should give it an immediate trial. We know that it is a purely vegetable and harm, less remedy, and our druggists have il for sale at $1. Another thing of great consequence is this, that it is the dis covery of Dr Green, of 35 w. 14th Street New York, who is a renowned specialist in curing nervous and chronic affections and he can be consulted free of charge concerning any case, personally or by letter.

Rain Gambling.

''Rain gambling" is the latest vice to develop in India, and the police of Bonn bay and Calcutta are just now vigorous ly at work prosecuting rain gamblers in the local courts ln an endcavor to show that the law includes this form of gambling. In Calcutta the ''outiit" of the rain gamblers is in a street in the Burra bazar. Here into a small tank, four feet square and six inches deep, an ordinary spout discharges rain water from the roof of D three-story building. In gambling with this apparatus bets are made at the beginning of the rainy season as to whether or not the tank will overflow at given shower, to the extent the rain will overflow it when the water sheets como down in proper tropical style. It is alleged that on busy days in the bazar several lakhs of rupees change hands. This is surely vice made easy for the lazy man.

ON TRIAL FOR HERESY
Dr. Briggs Before the New
 York Presbytery.
HE MAKES SEVERAL OBJECTIONS.

Contends That the Prosecuting Commit
 tee Has No Power to Bring New Charges
 After Action Had Been Taken Old
 Ones-The New Allegations.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-What is hoped will be the final trial and settlement of the charges of heresy brought by the Presby Church in the United States against Prof. Charles A. Briggs, of Union Theological Seminary, is now being conducted before the Presbytery of New York in the old Scotch Presbyterian Church in West Fourteenth street.
 After the prayer opening the trial, the Moderator asked for the charges, but was interrupted by Dr. Briggs, who asked leave to interpose several objections.
 In Q short address he outlined the line the prosecution had taken in regard to the old charges and contended that the prosecuting committee had no power to now bring these new ones.
 Col. J. J. McCook, counsel for the prosecuting committee, answered the ob- jections very technically, but deplored the fact that he was compelled to argue with the defendant.
 Dr. Briggs, when Col. McCook had fin- ished, arose to reply, but was checked by Rev. Thomas Booth, who made the point or Oruer CIaG the ulSCuSSlOu WuS irregular
 Dr. Briggs claimed that he had only been able to state his objections, while the prosecuting committee had been al lowed to answer them and say several other things which he could controvert by quotations from theological law.
 The request to allow him to answer the prosecution was denied by the Moderator, and, on Dr. Briggs appeal from this de- cision, the Moderator was sustained-73 to 58.
 The amended charges and specification S against Dr. Briggs were then read. As revised, and little more explicit and with more attention to detail than the old charges, they occupy 35 pages of a good sized book, but cover the same ground as the old charges. They were compiled by and signed by the full prose cutting committee, consisting of Dr. Birch, chairman; J. J. Lampe, D. D., R. I. Sample, D. D., John s. Stevenson and J. J. McCook.
 The reading occupied the remainder of the days session.
 After the charges were read Dr, Briggs said: "These are new issues and charges very different from the former charges. The order of General Assembly gives the power to amend the charges without changing their nature 1 had my answer to the first charges ready, but these are so different that l will have to revise my answer.

Comments of the Press.

It now behooves the democrats to be careful on the tariff issue. The republi- cans went to extremes and suffered by it, the democrats should learn the lesson by experience. On such questions parties are likely to swing too far and suffer by it. The result yesterday does not mean a sweeping and rulnous re- duction of tariff duties that will unsettle business through a want of confidence and necessitate a radical re-organiza- tion of existing conditions.-New Bri tain Herald, ind.
 The American people became restless they wanted a change; they thought the way to this lay through so-called "tariff reform" and therefore they SUD- ported Grover Cleveland and the demo- cratic party.-Hartford Post, rep.
 The real cause of yesterdays victory was the advanced position of the democracy upon the tariff question. It recalls to our mind the famous saving of Abraham Lincoln that you can fool some of the people all the time all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time.-New Haven Register, dem.
 If the manufacturers of New Eng. land, who depend upon protection for their industrial existence, and the men whose work and wages in the industries which flourish in this section, do not know what is their own interest well enough to protect it by the vote which they cast at a national election, then let us have enoughifree trade to teach them the lesson of bitter experience.-Bri port Standard, rep.

NO ENGLISH CARDINAL.
Three of Them Have Died During a
 Many Years.

Three of Them Have Died During a
 Many Years.
 Three years ago there were three English cardinals-Ncwman Manning and Howard. To-day there is not one. The late Cardinal Howard had been in poor condition, physically and men, tally, for some years. He failed to re- member his oldest friends, and some times would not take meals for days to- gether. For years past it would have been difficult to recognize in the pinched and emaciatcd frame of the cardinal the gay young life guardsman who was chosen for his good looks and fine physique to lead the procession at the duke of Wellington's funeral.
 In those days young Howard looked every inch q soldier, and it was greatly to his friends surprise that they learned of his going to Rome and entering the ecclesiastical state. He latterly Occu- pied the dual position of arch-pricst of St. Peter's and bishop of Frascati. These offices had never been united in the same individual since they were held by the cardinal of York, last of the house of Stuart.

SOME of our friends, in their chagrin over the fall of the republican party, have expressed the wish that the demo- crats be given control of the United States senate. The utterance of this sentiment was not prompted by a sense of justice or fairness, but that does not matter. If any great number of re- publicans of Connecticut really desire a democratic majority in the United States senate, why not elect demo- cratic successor to Senator Hawley, whose term expires this year. Con- necticut, with a democratic plurality of over 5000, is fairly entitled to a.senator. What say you, General Hawley? How does the proposition strike you, Gov ernor Bulkeley?

MOLAssEs As FUEL.
Ths Sweet Stuff So Plentiful as to
 Cheaper Than Wood.

Ths Sweet Stuff So Plentiful ns to Be
 Cheaper Than Wood.
 The low price of common molasscs some years or moro ago led this paper, says the Louisiana Planter, to urge its distillation into alcohol, and at the same time one of its correspondence suggested It's use as fuel, and the suggestion at tracted wide attention at the time, and several inventors had in hand nppar' atus that they believed would be sue cessful in burning molasses if it were to be used as fuel.
 Molasses Is now as low or lower than ever, two cents per gallon being hardly obtainable for it. Of heavy bodied molasscs one hundred and sixty-six and wo-thirds gallons will weigh a short ton of. two thousand pounds. This would make full cost three dollars and thirty-three cents per ton on the plan tation, and rather less per ton than cur | rent prices for coal delivered there. The question would then arise as to | the fuel value of molasses. As 1t Is al | most altogether carbonaceous matter it l must have considerable fuel value, but as to it's relative merits as compared | with bituminous coal we have no data | at hand to determine. Heavy boiled common Louisiana molasses contains, say, 20 per cent. water, 8 per cent. ash, 12 per cent. gums, and GO per cent SUI croso and glucose. Hence we have 73 per cent. of carbonaceous matter avail able us fuel, and only 20 per cent. of water. This would certainly make eX- cellent fuel if there were competent de 1 vices to burn it, such as used for liquid l fuels.
 | Molasses has recently been used fo1 fuel in Cuba, and with seeming success. It was there poured or sprayed onto tho l bagasse as it entered the furnace, ant the judgment of those interested wa that it's efficiency as fuel when used il tlsis way was incontestablc.
 Our grinding season is now approach ing, and if our inventors and engineer will take the matter in hand they ma
 be able to soon demonstrate the actua money value to us as fuel of this seem ingly worthless by-product-
 The molGsses product of Louisian
 for 1899 will probably reach 120, GOO tons and if of equal value with coal it woul
 represent 120 boat loads of 10000 bar
 rels each. Most of 1t is yet too valuabl
 to use as fuel, but the constant tend
 ancy of our molasses is toward tho loy
 grades, and year by year less of it i
 consumed as food. We need new outlet
 for it, and it's possible use as fuel prom ises relief.
