But with the wood floor wet with

There has been nothing but Spanish

The penetrating drug-like smell of all
sinthe will throw the mind completely
back to Paris in whatever land its
sickly odor strikes the sense. There
is also great consumption OF other
so-called ''aperitifs, bitters, YER

the essential oils. They deeply trouble
the system, and make their subjects
ripe for tuberculosis: nevertheless you
see little or no drunkenness in Paris
What exists here is special intoxica-
ton, as different from drunkenness as
drunkenness is from sobriety.
The purely alcoholic and spreeing
drunkard in Paris is scarcely ever

that drunkenness exists among them

no well-dressed men deliberately abus-

DEMOCRATIC PRoTEcTIONlsTs.
Convincing Evidence in Favor of High
 Tariff.

Congressman Wilson, the chairman
 of the ways and means committee, is T | West Virginia democrat and free
 trader. At the tariff hearing of his
 committee he was confronted by the
 democratic governor of his state, MT. l McCorlile, who, though he was elected
 on tariff reform platform, appeared
 as the earnest advocate of protection to
 the coal interests of West Virginia. | Gov. McCorlllc said that every man,
 woman and child in West Virginia de-
 mauded protection for West Virginia products from injurious foreign compe- | tition.
 EX-Scnator Davis, from the same state, reminded Chairman Wilson that in six counties in Mir Wilson's con | grcssional district there was popula- ton of seventeen thousand persons de- | pendent upon the production of coal for living, and all favorable to the | continuance of a protective tariff. Mir. Reed, of Maine, ventured to ask the | democratic governor of West Virginia what he thought about the tariff on New England's manufacturing inter- ests, and received reply which must be entirely satisfactory to every friend of republican protection. Gov. McCorlSle said: "I suppose the New England pco- plc know better than anybody else how high tariff is necessary. l think would he willing to take their word on that subject"
 During the discussion ex Senator T, ln1t,,.,l .h., hA l,,t, ought to be higher than it is. He said West Virginia has greater coal bear ing area than any other state in the union; that four years ago the Elk horn valley was wilderness, while to- day it has population of thirty thou sand largely employed in making coke. He said the miners are trembling with fear because of the tariff agitation. Senator Davis implorcd the manufac- turers of New England to stand by the people of West Virginia in their de- mand for q continuance of a protec- tive tariff, more especially because q syndicate of eastern capitalists had re- gently obtained control of Nova Scotia coal mines, and were seeking by the aid of a reduced tariff to enter into competition for our homc market.
 It is not little surprising that, knowing these facts last November, the people of West Virginia voted for candidate who ran on q platform which favored the destruction of the pro- tective tariff as an "unconstitutional" creation. The most urgent appeals for the continuance of protective tariff that have been made before the ways and means committee during the past few days have come from demo- crats whose democracy has been un- questioned.

 JvNCTIoN CITY, Kan, Sept %9-The interest of the ". C. T. L. convention ccntered in the election of officers for the ensuing year. Mrs. $. F.

Mrs. Grubb will give her time to the work of the union among foreigners. Mrs Thurston, of Topeka, was reelected corresponding secretary; Mrs lIartough, of Leavenworth, was reelected recording secretary, and Mrs. Berry, of Cawker City, treasurer. Dinner was furnished the delegates by the Universalist church.

Miss Bray spoke for the Messenger, paper published by the convention, and asked a more hearty support Miss Julia A. Wilson aroused the convention by stating in her report on non-alcoholic medication that members of the union were in the habit of keeping alcoholic medicines in the house for use and urging them to become total abstainers.

IRRIGATION MEN.
After the Convention at Saiina Delegate
 Proceed to Garden City.


 GARDEN CITY, Kan, Sept. 30.-The interstate irrigation convention. which closed it's session at late hour in Salina Thursday night, was the busiest meeting of the kind ever held in the west.
 The Interstate Irrigation associa- tion will hold its next meeting in Sep tember of next year at Wichita, and in the meantime the executive committee will do all in its power to advance the cause.
 The following delegates were elected to the international convention in Los Angeles, Cal: Judge Emery, Lawrence; L. Baldwin, Great Bend; J. K. Wright, Junction City; J. l.. Bristow, Salina: A. W. Stubbs, Garden City; F.. R. Moses, Great Bend; D. M. Frost, Gar den City Mir Hardy and Mir. Maxwell, Topeka.
 The Garden City is sharing the hon. DTS of the irrigation movement with Salina. At midnight over 200 delegates accepted the kind invitation of the Santa Fc railroad to enjoy free eXcur- sion to Garden City. The excursion ar rived at noon and was cordially well comed by large delegation of Garden spent by the delegates viewing the work of irrigation in Finney county. Over 15O miles of ditches are now in op- eration here capabl of irrigating over 15. 900 acres of land.

but their ex parte statements are soon riddled under the questioning of such men as Reed and other republican leaders.
 The testimony being in, the commit tee will now proceed to formulate q bill without the least regard for any thing that has been said. The chair.- man is himself one of the doctrinaires, an eX-professor, able of his kind, but saturated with the errors of his school. Still it is doubtful if any very radical measure will pass congress. Too many great business interests would be in- juriously affected thereby. Any bill will be largely amended, for the poll tlcians dare not destroy these interests, and besides that they know well enough that q reduction of tariff means q reduc- tion of revenue which is all impossibil- ity under existing conditions Chicago Journal

A Matter of Health

Housekeepers faintly reaIiza .l
 danger of an indiscriminate use of tLo numerous baking powders nowadone found upon every hand, and which ara urged uponconsumers with such her. sistency by peddJers and many rrocsr. on account of the big profits made ;a their sale. Most of these powde-s ,ro made from sharp and caustic acids and alkalies which burn and infame ths alimentary organs and cause indiges, tion, heartburn, diarrheal diseases etc. Sulphuric acid, caustic potash burnt alum, all are used as gas-produc' ing agents in such baking powders Most housekeepers are aware of tba painful effects produced when thesa chemicals are applied to the external flesh. How much more acute must be their action upon the delicate internal membranes! Yet interruptions mann. lecturers do not hesitate to use them because they make a very low-cost powder, nor to urge the use of their powders so made, by all kinds of allur- ing advertisements and false repre. sentations. All the low-priced or So. called cheap baking powders, and all powders sold with a gift or prize, be. long to this class.
 Baking powders made from chemical. { ly pure cream of tartar and bi-carbon. ate of soda are among the most useful of modern culinary devices. They not only make the preparation of finer and more delicious cookery possible, but they have added to the digestibility and wholesomeness of our food. But baking powders must be composed of such pure and wholesome ingredients or they must be tabooed entirely.
 Dr. Edson, Commissioner of Health of New York, in an article in the Doe tor of Hygiene" indicates that the ad. vantages of a good baking powder and the exemption from the dangers of bad ones in which the harsh and caus- tic chemicals are used, are to be se- cured by the use of Royal Baking Powder exclusively, and he recom- mends this to all consumers. "The Royal" he says, contains nothing but cream of tartar and soda refined to ShShllCaA puIlIy, WHICH "utn COhDlleu under the influence of heat and mois- turc produce pure carbonic, or leaven- ing, gas. The two materials used, cream of tartar and soda, are perfectly harmless even when eaten, but in this preparation they are combined in ex- act compensating weights, so that when chemical action begins between them in the dough they practically dis appear, the substance of both having been taken to form carbonic acid gas" Hence it is, he says, that the Royal Baking Powder is the most perfect of all conceivable agents for leavening purposes.
 It seems almost incredible that any manufacturer or dealer should urge the sale of baking powders containing injurious chemicals in place of those of a well-known, pure, and wholesome character simply for the sake of a few cents pound greater profit; but since they do, few words of warning seem to be necessity.

THE MICHIGAMME DISASTER.

Twenty-elght Lives Lost-No Hope of Re- covering the Bodies.
 CRYSTAL FALLS, Mich, Oct D. Twenty-eight lives were unquestiona- bly lost by the flooding of the Mans. field mine by the waters of the Michi- gamme river Thursday evening. Eight cen men employed in the lower levels escaped.
 None of the bodies have been recov- cred and none can be until the rivers course shall be diverted. It took all night for the river to fill up the shaft and levels and until yesterday morning the bed below the break was dry.
 Eight of the lost men have families and about half of the others supported parents
 The mine was flooded in the lower level last spring and while in this con dition the ore pillars in the upper levels were removed, it is alleged, by order of the superintendent. This, no doubt, hastened the collapse and prevented many of the unfortunate miners from escaping. Already talk of suits for damages against the operators by rela- tives of the dead men is being heard. The mine was being operated by the receiver of Cerrigan, Ives & Co. of Cleveland. The money loss will be S6O0 OOO

VACATIONS AT SEA.

In Spite of a Few Drawbacks They Arc
 BenetciaI to Landsmen.
 A variety of circumstances coT1pine to invest the holiday spent at sea under ordinarily favorable conditions with a composite charm which is something peculiar in itself and which must be felt in order to be rightly appreciated. The panoramic survey of surrounding nature, the unsurpassed purity of the atmosphere, the society of agreeable companions, the regularity of daily life and, finally. the fact that physical rest is compelled, while access to busi- ness is forbidden by the existing con- ditions, unite in forming a total of leisured recreation which requires no filter prelude than hard work for its enjoyment
 For all the reasons above given week or two so spent should furnish the busy practitioner with ali admir- ably suitable method of relaxation. Interruption and irregularity are at all times characteristic of his calling. Neither in regard to sleep, meals or home life does he enjoy the privilege of certainty which is common to most other men. Add to this fact that every day he lives brings him into contact with much that is anxious and respon- sible in work. and we need be at no loss to explain why the freedom blended with order which are found on shipboard constitute for him restorative influence of much value. We admit that there are drawbacks to travel by sea, Its famil- jar physical disturbances need only be mentioned: its occasional monotony cannot be denied. Its constant subjec- tion to the action of climate, season and weather must now and then prove ! depressing.
 Yet withal the amateur sailor, if in fair health, finds in it ample means Of recreation. He may not perhaps, be so fortunate as member of the profess sion-Dr Fyfe-who lately closed a series of published letters descriptive of a yachting cruise around the world, extending nearly over two years, and unmarked by any case of illness or se-' rious injury. For all purposes of the ordinary holiday, however, a much { briefer voyage will suffice, and the < season is now near at hand when from 2 every considerable port on our shores < it will be possible, by means of we'll < appointed passenger steamer service 1 to visit other shores or to sircumnavl- | gate our own.
 The accommodation provided even ! on the shorter routes is often excel lent, though better adapted, perhaps
 for travellers of the sterner than of the
 fairer sex. We feel certain, therefore
 that a pleasant trip of the kind indi- | eated will commend itself as the 1 season advances to any of our medical
 brethren who may choose in this way
 to combine the enjoyment of we'll
 earned rest with the interest of novelty
 amid the purest and freshest atmo'
 spheric surroundings, London Lancet
