THE
Philad elphia Press,
DAILY. SUNDAY. WEEKLY.
A FAMILY PAPER,
WHICH is
CLEAN, UNSEHSATiONAl AND JUST THE PAPER
FOR THE
american Home.

The Press has the best possible organization
to secure news from the most important sour
ces, and with nearly 400 correspondents in Penn
sylyania, New Jersey, and Delaware, the state
and near-at home news is covered witha rou-
tine carefulness and attention to detail not even
attempted by any other paper
THE PPEss has also the best of correspondents
III all the great cities of the United States, as
well as financial and railroad experts In Chicago
and the West, who keep the paper more than
abreast with events.
The columns of the SUNDAY Press are enrich
ed by contributions from those whose names are
written high In our lists OF great authors, novel
lists, essayists, as well as from men of high rank
N public life. The best authors know that
their best audiences are the readers of the
DAILY, SUNDAY and WEEKLY Press
In politics The Press knows no other master
than the people and the past year has seen, as
has been seen before, the marked fact that 1t Is
subservient to no political boss. 1t has no poll
tical ambition to foster, but looks after the in
tsrests Of its readers, and deliveries itself upon
the issues of the day In manner both frank and
fearless, letting the facts speak for themselves
and evading no issues but meeting them all on
the basis of fair play to all men at all times Its
pages know no distinctions and the rights of one
class oyer another are neither recognized nor

Ths care of III umbrella.

There are a couple Of points with re-
gard to the care Of an umbrella with
which would wish to supply the pub
lie, for Lam crank on the subject. One
is in connection with the rolling Of it
mp. To do this so as not to injure the
ribs and joints. firmly grasp the points
below the cloth with your right hand
while you glide downward with your
left till the folds are nicely laid. The
other is, when the umbrella is soaked
with wet, set with the handle resting ON
the floor and let fhe water run off the
ends of the ribs If you set it with the
ferule down the water will rust the
hinges at the crest. Interview in st.

AIexander's Death Mask.

When Hamlet said that Alexander
died, Alexander was buried, Alexander
returneth to dust, he overlooked the
fact that Alexander's dust, instead of
being converted into loan to stop beer
barrel, was preserved from corruption
by the process of embalming and from
external injury by being cased in the
most precious of metals. Pettigrew, in
his History of Egyptian Mummies, y says
of the death mask of Alexander that cit
was sort of chase work, and of such a
nature that it could DO eIeT,1iocl so closely
to the skin as to preserve not only the
form of the body, but also to give the
expression of the features to the coun-
tenance."
He does not quote his authority for
this statement. but it is unqueStionably
derived from the account of the death
and burial of Alexander written by
Diodorus Siculus, who said: ''And first
coffin of beaten gold was provided, so
wrought by the hammer as to answer to
the proportions of the body. 1t was half
filled with aromatic spices, which served
as well to delight the sense as to prevent
the body from putrefaction." Then fol

the last heartbreak is ended, when the
last tear Of earthly sorrow is wiped
away, and when the redeemed of the
Lord shall come to Zion, then let the
harpers take down their harps, and all
the trumpeters take down their trum-
gets, and all across heaven there be
chorus of morning stars, chorus of
white robed victors. chorus of martyrs
from under the throne, chorus of ages,
chorus of worlds, and there be but one
song sung, and but one name spoken,
and but one throne honored-that of
Jesus only.

Woman's Endurance of Pain.

"Women endure painful surgical OPP
erations much better than do men," said
Dr.. L. M. Britton at the Southern yes
terday ''Men will receive frightful
wounds without finching, then act like
babies at the sight of the surgeons knife
and needle. Asa rule the most robust
nations bear pain with less fortituGe
than those noted for effeminacy. A ma
tive of Bengal will look placidly on
while you saw off his leg, while your
bold Britisher must have an opiate be-
fore getting tooth pulled.
''The Mexicans and Cubans endure
pain much better than do the Ameri-
cans, while Turk will let surgeon
saw him to pieces without raising half
the disturbance that big German
soldier will over the setting of u broken
bone. But for genuine stole in the
matter of patient long suffering, com
mend me to an Indian who has not been
tainted with the white mans civiliza-
ton. There is no torture human in
genuity can devise that will break his
nerve. st. Louis Globe Democrat

Admirable Training.

A man who has well deserved repu-
tation for discovering admirable traits
in people was asked one day how he had
acquired the happy faculty.
ut isn't a faculty" said the gentle
man, with a quiet smile. sit is q habit,
and it sprang from the early training of
mother who always said, There is
good in every man, woman and child in
this world; you >have only to look well
to find it.
This gentleman, as a boy, was one of a
family of seven children. 1t was an un-
written law of the household that "peo-
ple'' were only to be discussed at one
time, namely, at the supper hour, when
the whole family was assembled. By
''people" were meant private individ-
ua1s. Public characters, those who had
name and fame, were regarded as
''things,' to be talked of with books,
music, games and other matters of in
terest at any time.
If any one had comments on friends
or acquaintance to make these were
reserved for teatime. Then perfect
freedom Of expression was allowed; but
it was we'll understood that the purpose
Of the talk was to find good points in
those under discussion and to throw as
thick veil of charity as possible over
their faults and failings.
1t was surprising to see how speedily
the person who made an unfavorable
criticism was routed by the storm of
contrasting statements which ratified
about his head. Wrong doing was never
made light of, but some good was sure
20 be found and mentioned.
wasn't there some danger of incul-
eating fattery and insincerity?" inquired
the listener whose first question had
called forth these facts.
81 hardly think so,' replied the other
with somewhat quizzical expression.
Il have found in my experience that
fattery is seldom wasted on the absent,
and insincerity has slight hold in a
spirited family discussion. y = Youths

A Determined NIother-in-law.

An applicant for magisterial advice at
Marylebone police court related to Mr..
Hannay a doleful tale of misery at
home through the determined attempt
Of his mother-in-law to settle in his

that are made by the propretors of Doctor
Sagc's Catarrh Remedy. They say that their
medicine will cure, perfectly and perman-
entity, the worst case of Chronic Catarrh in
the Head-that not only Catarrh itself, bat
all the troubles that come from it, and every
thing catarrhal in it's nature, are cured by
the mild, soothing, cleansing and healing
properties of their remedy.
They can't say any more. Probably every
medicine for Catarrh claims as much But
it's one thing to promise a cure-it's a very

COUNTY AND STATE.

THE WoRLD's Emmett cor. does
not seem to have very much faith in
mining. He says he has been in the
western country twenty-five years
and has cut his eve teeth. If his eye
teeth were we'll cut he must know
that mining has been grand success
10 the western country and is becom-
ing more and more of a success every
year. Of course machinery has gone
up in many instances and failures
have been made, not on account of
any fault of machinery but for lack
OF ore. That is to be expected. No
branch OF business OF enterprise is a
blooming success in every instance
and under all conditions and circum-
stances. Wrecks Of failures are OBJ
servable on all hands outside of mi
nlng. But without the mining indus
ny on the Pacific coast it is more
than probable that there would never
have been but very few wrecks to re-
cord in business ventures, farming,
stock raising, etc., for the very sim
pie reason that all the fiourishing in
dostries to be seen on every hand
would be conspicuous by their alb
sence, and Cui Bono would not have
acted on the advice of Uncle Horace
and come west to grow up with the
country. Mining is the solid founda
u0n on which the prosperity of tbs
west has been built. Cui Bono seems
70 lack faith more especially in bas'
metal mines. If he was thorough,

Hon. w. J. Mcconnell, ex-United
States Senator from Idaho, firmly BE-
lieves that the Washington-I Idaho
boundary line = it Is now supposed

east. Should this prove % ths popu-
lation Of Idaho will - incrsassd 10
The extent Of $4,000. The ssnator,
Who i now on his way to tte nation
Il capital, will snGssvor 70 have the
boundary resurveyed. The Ssnasor,
says b has been Discussing the sub-
jsct with General Tannsts, fornsrly
the land agent Of the Union Pacific.
Who resided It Farmingtos, and his
son, 1t present county Surveyor Of
Latah county, Idaho Both Of these
gentlemen are of ths opinion, ssd
have convinced tie Senator that they
are right, that the line i about thirty
miles too far esst, and that It sbould
run about ten miles east Of Sprsgue.
The line WAS run good many years
ago, and Vas not q carefully sur-
veyed = it should have bsen, hence
the error, says the Spokane Spokes-
man.
The Senator feels confident that be
can secure from the Secretary of the
Interior an order for : survey and
that the result will add largely to the
width Of the Idaho panhandle.
If he should succeed in his scheme
and his idea prove correct Spokane
would BE- in Idaho instead of Wash
ington. Medical Lake would be very
near the boundary though in Wash
ington, but Cheney, Marshall and 81
the towns along the line of the Spo-
kane and Palouss would beloag x
the panhandle, Colfax and Almots
would be Idaho towns, aud continu
ing north from Spokane the new ad
dition including all the Caiispel val
ley, Loon Lake, but not Chswlah O
CoIville, though stone could b
thrown from the former town acrOS
the new line.
The population of this new Terri
tory cannot be far from 75,0OO per
sons, and this is more than half til.
present population of Idaho.
sWhether I am correct or not il
my proposition about the inter-stat
boundary said the Senator, sit l
time that it was definitely located .
the population is growing very rapid
Iy on both sides of the line and
great deal of trouble will ensus if th
| matter is not definitely and authori
tatiysly settled"
Another interesting point is th
fact that the university of Idaho I
Moscow is very near the boundar
| line and should the line prove to b
too far west instead of too far east
is possible that the university an
Moscow may be found to be
Washington instead of Spokane an
Colfax in Idaho.
