Soap

II is, a wonderful soap
that takes hold quick and
does no harm.
No HARM 1t leaves the
skin soft like a baby's; no
alkali in it, nothing but SOAP.
The harm is done by al
kali. Still more harm is done
by not washing. So, bad
soap is better than none.
What is bad soap? Imper-
fectly made; the fat and al
kali not well balanced or not
combined.
What is good soap?
Pears.
All sorts Of stores sell It,
specially druggists; all sorts

by the witnesses. j. w. Ward played
the part of the plaintiff-an innocent

To Cross ts.e Ocean In a Viking Ship and
Visit the Fair.
just in time for the Chicago Worlds
fair, so apropos as to seem like provi-
dence, an original viking ship, III feet
long and 164 feet wide, has been un-
earthed. The discovery is an antigua
rian romance in itself. From early days
there has been tradition that noted
viking or Morse sea king was buried long
ago in sand mound near Sandefjord, a
small port of Norway, and that his ship
was buried with him. The learned, how
ever, decided that the mound was nat
ural, and only sailors and peasants be-
ieved in the old saga tale. In the Win
ter of 1879-S0, however, a sailor in
Sandefjord declared his belief in the
story, and that he would prove it true.
He began sinking shaft, as miners say,
and in a few feet struck solid oak planks,
as the surface of the mound had wealth
cred away considerably, and he was for
tunate enough to begin at the right spot.
The discovery was hailed with delight
in all Scandinavia, and now the hardy
sailors Of Norway purpose to prove that
Left Ericsson could have crossed the At
lantic in such vessel 1000 years ago by
doing the same thing in May, 1893. The

was an obscure Mormon settlement, but
is now an important railway center, with
an opera house capable of seating 2,0O0
delegates and hotel accommodations for
them. i. "
Its first session was at Galveston some
three years ago, tssecond some six months
later at Denver, its third at Omaha, and
its fourth last February at New Orleans.
All the railroads are making special rates
to the congress, and as it will close about
the time the Worlds fair opens those
from the Pacific and other far western
states will be asked to arrange their
tickets to the fair so that visitors may
take in the congress. ALI the states and
territories west of the Mississippi will be
represented, and the principal subjects
discussed will be irrigation and the rec
lamation of arid lands, silver, public
lands, the Pacific and gulf coast har-
bors and all other matters of special in
terest to the west.
It is easy to see in all the notices and
appeals Of the far western papers in re-
lation to this congress that the idea is
prevalent that the west has been neg
lected and that the time has come to
convince the Atlantic states that the
seat of empire has shifted. California
Oregon and Washington want improved
rivers and harbors and vastly increased
coast defenses, Texas wants deep water
at Galveston and elsewhere, the noun
tain commemorative want comprehen-
sive system of irrigation, and all want
silver restored to it's old place in the
coinage.
They have undertaken big contract,
and have therefore broadened the basis
of representation to secure a big con-
gress. Each state OF territory is entitled
to 10 delegates, each county to one, each
city to one for each 5000 people or frac-
tional part thereof, all commercial bod
les in all towns TO as many each as the
town in which each is situated, and in
addition ali governors, mayors, county
judges and presidents of boards of coun-
ty supervisors are ex-officio members.
Governor Bradford Prince of New
Mexico is president of the congress,
elected at its last session at New Orleans,
and will hold over till his successor is
elected at Ogden. O. W. Crawford of
Velasco, Tex, is the present secretary.
The congress has 10 vice presidents, all
men of influence.

War and Baked Beans.

1t is good story, that told by R. K.
Munkittriclz in Harper's Magazine. He
was walking ''along the bluff at Sias-
consett' when he was accosted by a
venerable man who had been in the war.
The old fellows case seemed a pathetic
one, as he told how strong he was be.
fore the war, how he could do anything
ere the fatal years of army service that
had sapped his vigor and reduced him
to wreck. He said sadly that he had
been whole week ''a- -paintin that there
stoop." He was not SO old yet, he said
would not be IS till February, and he
ought to be as lively as cricket still
He felt thst he would have been indeed
only for the war that had ruined his
health and made him an old man befo1 {
his time. Munkittrick sympathized, and
the veteran told how the war had
knocked him out:
1T was the war that done it, he continued
with great feeling. II came back all chock
full of rheumatic and malary, and amt never
been the same man since. tell you that wal
was an awful failure for me.''
1T was a very sad affair."" | said in a kind
attempt to be sympathetic.
"Yes," he replied, ''it was. Why, do YOU
know what could do before tho WARP"

eat 10 plates of baked beans for breakfast with
out turning q hair, and now can't eat one
plateful to save my life."

Democratic Advisers.

Three gentlemen, IN Independent, q
Democrat and a Republican, respective
", advise the Democratic party how to
use the great opportunity before it. The
Independent is Hon. Seth Low, president
Of Columbia college, New York, the
Democrat is Hon. Oswald 0ttendorfer
and the Repu ublican is Hon. Henry Cabot
Lodge. @...@~
Mr.. Low says that the election of
President Cleveland was victory for the
principles advocated by him; also for the
man himself, because voters had conf
dence that he would adhere to those
principles through thick and thin. Mr..
Cleveland was elected, in the estimation
of President Low, chiefly because he fa-
vored tariff reform and civil service re-
form, and because he was opposed to ex-
travagant pension and other legislation.
If now the Democratic party will go in
for tariff reform, if it will destroy the
spoils system and also break up the Dem
ocratic local party machine, then, in the
estimation of Mr.. Low, twill be the rul-
ing party in this country for q long time.
Mr.. Oswald Ottendorfer is especially
concerned about the silver dollar He
plants himself on the gold basis as on
the rock of his salvation, and says this
country is now dancing on a volcano.
The volcano may, so to speak, erupt and
blow us into financial kingdom come at
any moment just so long as we continue
''to dump the proceeds of silver mines
into the national treasury and issue
therefor treasury notes interchangeable
for gold or silver CON- This practice
Mr.. Ottendorfer considers on par with
the teaching that it requires only an
act of congress to make 60 cents worth
of silver equal to dollar in gold" One
gathers that Mr.. Ottendorfer is "gold-
bug and considers tho repeal of the
Sherman silver act Of 1890 as the most
bowling duty of the Democratic party
and the Fifty third congress.
Then there is Hon. Cabot Lodge. He
is by no means obscure as to what his
idea of the Democratic duty of the hour
is. 1t is to inaugurate free trade. Gun
less the victorious party is false to the
plainest kind of pledge, they must sweep
protection from the statute books" He
declares the new system must have
fair trial. and the party in power must
raise government revenues by methods
which can give no protection whatever.
II their system is successful, we will
stick to it. IF it is failure, out the
voters Of the country will whop the Dem
ocrats, and in will go the Republicans
again, thinks Mr.. Lodge.

many were the Sunday mornings on
which he did not occupy it. After his
marriage his wife was admitted to mem
bership on letter from the church with
which she had previously worshiped, and
they generally attended the services to-
gether. Upon his second inauguration
the president and Mrs. Cleveland chose
the same church and the same pew oc.
cupied by them during the first admin
istration.
The old First is historic and was one
of the very first churches organized in
the Capital City. It was established
nearly a hundred years ago and for
long period was one of the most fash
ionable churches in the city, it's site on

heart of Wat was considered the best
residence district. The conditions have
changed now, and the tide of fashion has
swept away to the northwestward, while
the vicinage of the church has become
very thickly populated with people who
are not leaders in society It still
retains many of the leading residents of
Washington among it membership, how
ever, and is alert, active and aggressive
in it's religious work.
The pastor of the church, the Rev.
Dr.. Sunderland, who has occupied the
pulpit for 40 years, is more than 70
years of age, but still retains much of
the vigor and enthusiasm of his younger
days. His discourses are eloquent and
forceful as Of old, when they gained him
a reputation as a pulpit orator that
reached far beyond the confines of his
congregation. The burden of his years,
however, ha' made it impossible for him
to perform much of the work which
such a pas crate de1nands, and year or
SO ago the congregation decided to en-
gage an assis ant to relieve him. Rev.
Samuel Van Vranken Holmes of Rich
field Springs, n Y, was the man en-
gagged, and his labors have been attend
ed with marked success.

Compartment Sleeping Cars.

Our readers are familiar with the

persons (of the gentler sex) would
