WON'T PRAY AGAINST CHOLERA.
Because Heaven Helps Those Who Help
Themselves.


The members OF st. Stephens church
who attended divine service Sunday
morning listened to a sermon which in
the proper sense of the phrase created a
sensation and furnished them with food
for discussion during the remainder of
the day. The topic of Dr. McConnell's
discourse was on municipal govern
ment and incidentally upon cholera, but
instead of combining himself to common
place utterances on the subject he dealt
with it in its broadcast bearings and gave
his hearers Il discourse of which it is safe
to say not a word was lost.
I'VE are told" said DR., Mcconnell,
"to be on our guard against the cholera.
The medical profession is united in the
belief that the scourge will break out
again this summer not only il Europe,
but in this country. The germs of the
disease have lain dormant during the
winter, Int so soon as they arc revivified
by the sun the death roll viii begin to
be called. and all the resources of mod
ern science will be called on to combat
the plague It is admitted on all sides
that we are in jeopardy; it is admitted
on all sides that tho work of prevention
cannot begin too soon.
"There are various methods Of meeting
the situation, most of which are in our
own hands. That the most = anuous
efforts are necessary cannot be ques-
toned. But it has been S rested that
the clergy should unite in offering up
prayer TO Divine Providence that this
calamity may be averted from us. With
afull sense Of the gravity of the occasion
and after the most earnest reflection,
have decided that | for one can offer no
such prayer. Will not pr, J that this
city may be spared from e cholera
when | see that the city itself is making
no effort to guard against the LANCER.
~ the cholera makes have among
us, it will be because our streets are
dir, our water is impure, Or drainage
is [ Thy. And whose fault is this? 1t is
yol-' fault. it is my fault, in that we 10
not &c to it that our city goverlmer is
rig ly administered and tk"t po- ic-
ciar5 are not permitted to use its fran
chs for their own ends. and our
lethargy is all the more unworthy in that
it Is selfish. For the cholera. if it comes
will not place us in danger We can
avoid it. We can leave tE2 crowded
city and betake ourselves comfortably
to places where pure air and good water
will free US from apprehension.
But if you should go where go, into
the dwellings, of the poor, you would
realize what a calamity is impending
over the great mass of the inhabitants of
the city, and how empty, yeaard worse,
it would be to pray that the c&olera may
be staid from entering homes which
our neglect has left to stand amid sur
roundings which must breed the very
pestilence that we seek to escape

A Woman VINO KNOWS Not what Fear Is.


A Uniontown correspondent sends a
bit of the history of Mrs. Taylor Oliver,
which shows that the pluck exhibited by
that fearless woman during the murder
Gus attack upon herself, her husband
and her daughter has been characters
tic of her during life. The story is as
follows:
Many years ago Mr.. Daniels, the father
of Mrs. Oliver, was what was known at
that time as a slave driver. During that
time he incurred, of course, the hatred
of the negro race. After freedom, and
when Daniels was living with his family
in Jefferson county, band of negroes
determined secretly to murder him and
his entire family. A night was selected
and party visited his house in the dead
of night and made an attack.
Daniels defended himself as best he
could, and Mrs. Oliver, then II years Of
age, shouldered gun and took q posi-
ton by the side of her father. In the
melee there was great loss of life, and
when the smoke of battle had passed
away seven dead negroes summed upthe
loss ON the attacking side, and none of
the Danielses was injured. Mrs. Oliver,
it is said, did the best shooting, and her
shots were more effective than those of
her father. She does not know what fear
is, as she has proved in her recent and
most trying ordeal. Henderson Cleaner.

physicians have given up hope.

his lips and blows a blast and says,

herds on the Alpine heights or down in
the deep valleys respond with other
blasts of horns, saying, "Glory be to
God" and then all the shepherds uncover
their heads and Lleel in worship, and
after few moments of silence some
shepherd rises fro. his knees and blows
another blast of the horn and says,

mountains the response comes from other

spond to the hills CT heaven, with sounds
of glory and tn q ks, and it be harp

Thorough Americanization Needed.

The state department should be warm
cd up and brought more closely in touch
with the people. Its working force
should be made up of live, modern, pro-
gressive men, also in touch with the peo-
pie. It's rules of etiquette should be
based upon the principle that in this
country the people are sovereign, and
that none of the great departments of
the government shall be used to house
and feed and build up privileged class
secure from the contact of plebeian as
sociations. Above all, let Mr.. Gresham
see to it that his department is thorough
ly Americanized.-Wa Post.

Lysander Morse and Phoebe MacOmber
were married 60 years ago. 1t was q
love match that won the envy of all
their neighbors by its promises of hap
piness. The couple lived together for
only a year, when in a violent quarrel
over some trivial incident they separated
and were finally divorced. Morse prompt
ly married again from a spirit of pique,
and his erstwhile bride was not far be-
hind him i'll resumlng the welded state.
Neither found any peace or happiness,
and it soon seemed to be a race between
them as to who could make the most I'M
fortunate alliances. Morse succeeded in
contracting four marriages, but his rival
won the hearts of six different men,
whose names she bore in turn. These
facts did not come out until they met
for the first time since their separation
recently III Allegan county. AS they re-
hearsed their various experiences it ap-
peared that each was single again, and
they decided to try a second marriage.
A few days after this marriage they
disagreed and came to blows, which
produced final separation.-Decatur

local managers of the exposition bit of
advice. We counsel them not to impose
a charge of a cent glass for Hygeia Wa
ter on the grounds, even if an abundant
supply of other drinking water be fur
nished free. Hygeia water was given
without charge at the Democratic con-
vention last year, and the good will of
the people who expect to visit the fair is
as valuable to Chicago as was the friend
ship of the Democrats. We urge them
not to permit of an extra charge of 5
cents for the use of any of the lavatories.
