why Family Marks" Die Out.

Fortunately for many families. family
marks die out in few generations. For
example, an aunt and a female cousin on
the paternal side Of my family have each a
flattened right thumb, but as both are child
less this slight deformity will pass out of
existence in the present generation. There
would indeed be a sadly rapid degenera-
ton of the civilized races of mankind if the
typical forms of hereditary diseases were as
permanent as the normal types of man and
woman. Were it otherwise, families, vii
lage communities, nations and eventually
races would become extinct in all parts of
the world.
But the tendency of this age is toward
improved sanitation, better instruction and
physical training of infants and children,
and it is to be hoped purer morality. \
study of the registrar generals reports and
of the annual returns of the larger hospitals
will demonstrate that great success in re-
moving or rectifying deformities and NAL
formations has attended the efforts of our
surgeons, and that the average human life
has been considerably extended.-Hom9-

An Exhibition by u Sand W ich Island Priest

Recently an unbelieving white man was
taken by u native to witness a kahuna
seance. What followed proved that the
Kahuna was something in the nature of a
juggler. He placed portions of green taro
leaves in four outside wrappers of ii and
had each rolled up tightly. Then the Ka-
huna disrobed and laid himself fiat on his
stomach. He directed those around him to
place the packages on his bare back. After
awhile he told them in the Kanaka tongue
to turn them over. This was done, and
after a few minutes he said, Pan" which
is equivalent to The jig is up Opening
the packages, the white man was aston
ished to find the leaves cooked. Asked
what he thought of the operation he said
''Pretty good. But I have seen jugglers do
tricks of that kind" The Kanakas left him
in disgust.-Honolulu Cor. Chicago Trib-

Great Rock Island Route
TO THE EAST.

Best Dining Car Service in the World.
The Rock Island is foremost in
adopting any advantage calculated
to improve speed and give that lux
ury, safety and comfort that popular
patronage demands. Its equipment
is thoroughly complete with vesti-
buled trains. magnificent dining
cars, slcepers and chair coaches, all
the most elegant, and of recently i'm
proved patterns.
Faithful and capable management
and polite, honest service from en-
ployes are important items. They
are double duty-to the company
and to travelers-and it is sometimes
task difficult of accomplishment.
Passengers on this line will find little
cause for complaint on that ground.
REMEMBER
The Great Rock Island Route runs all
regular trains to Englewood subur-
ban station. close to Worlds Fair
grounds, and you can save time and
trouble by getting off at that point
and avoid the crowd in the city.

gyman, turning over but few leaves
of the Prayer-book, began the recital
of the last offices of the church.

The failure Of three important banks
in Nashville, Tenn, with large liabili-

The extent of the disaster is not yet
certainly known, for it is probable that
number Of country banks will be in
yolved in the ruin. 1t is certainly to
be hoped that the financial disaster
will prove to be limited in extent. In
any case it will be bitter enough. But
if the result is due to conditions that
prevail elsewhere IN similar strength,
the trouble will affect credits in all the

The rumor that the Baltimore and

the hands discharged week ago at
Mt Clare, proves to be true, but the
number is so small that the men still
out of work are far from satisfied.
Several of the discharged mechanics
stated that not more than dozen OF
the old hands had been re- employed
and they only until little repair work
has been completed on several camel

SENATOR CAMDEN AS A BRAKEMAN.

1
Shortly after Mr. Camdens re. cleo
ton to the u. S. Senate some CORE
spondent Of the Of the Baltimore Neps
sent that io rnal wild goose story,
alleged to be sketch Of the Senator's
early life. 1t told of how he was
railroad brakeman, and climbed mp
ward and onward until he had reach
ed the highest pinnacle of fame, &c,
&c. The fake read nicely, and the
Ne,cs published it with fine display
head. There was no harm in it, more
than it was untrue from foundation to
coping, and as such should not have
been published. OF course, all recog
nize that If the story had been
as stated it would have been an adj
ditional feather in the Senator's cap,
but truth is truth and should prevail,
even in so unimportant n. matter as
this. In justice to the Neics tits prop
er to say that it made correction of
the story last week, but a large num-
ber Of the newspapers of the State re-
prod ced it when, if they had stop
puu 10 tmnK moment, they woulo
have recognized the sensational ear
marks without trouble.
Senator Camden began life as law
yer, and was prosecuting attorney OF
his county when quite q young man
His connection with railroads did not
begin until he took hold Of the Clarks-
burg and Weston, and then it was his
money and energy that was largely
instrumental in pushing it to sue
cessful finish. Since that time he has
become 50 identified with railroad de-
velopment in his native State that the
great system Of roads which grit her
border on the west and north, and
penetrate the interior in several direc-
tions, is known everywhere as the
"Camden SYSTEM which we hope, to-
gether with ex-senator Davis system,
will continue growing and developing
until every part of the State is in close
and convenient touch with the outer
world Wheeling Register.

The question of sheething the new
ships of the navy will engage the early
attention Of Secretary Herbert, and
some interesting experiments may
shortly be made in this direction. A
ship with an unsheathGG bottom can
not keep at sea longer than six months.
while vessel with copper sheathine
may remain at sea for an unlimited
period Of time without diminution in
efficiency through fouling of the bot
tom. The first cost will be heavy, but
it would save frequent cleaning, and
be cheaper in the end.

And Now Medical Student Whalen Has Been
Expelled
A West Virginia student at the Col
lege of physicians and surgeons, nam
ed Whalen, has gotten himself into
trouble on account of "bluff" which
he tried on his class mates, aud which
failed to work. Several days ago, it is
said, Whalen amazed his class by
appearing before them with a big gold
medal pinned on his breast, on which
was engraved, presented by Prof.
opie for proficiency in gynecology"
The madal was as big as a silver
dollar and was a sumner to the other
students. Just why it had been
awarded they could not understand,
for the reason that Whalen had never
proved himself to be a surgical phe-
nomenon.
Much talk resulted. 1t finally reached
the ears of the faculty, sort of "drum
head courtmartiaT was held, and
the gay and festive student with the
medal was called up and asked to
explain. He weakened and confessed
the medal was only cheap, plated
affair, which he had had made himself
in order to bluff his classmates and
