If DR.. Orvine w. Owen of Detroit can
only succeed in converting any considerable
proportion Of this earth's educated men and
women to the doctrines which were origi-
nally advanced by Ignatius Donnelly and
will continue his study Of Bacon's literary
products he will make English history dur
ing the Elizabethan era mighty interesting
reading. Donnelly claimed great deal for
his idol. but he is modest when compared
with his fellow-laborer in Michigan. DR..
Owen asserts positively that he has discov-
cred another cipher, which when worked
out Is rather astonishing in it's revelations.
In the new cryptogram the deceased Bacon
Is alleged to declare that he was the son of
Elizabeth and the Earl OF Leicester by a
secret marriage, and. therefore. the rightful
heir to the throne; he tells how this became
known to him, and he relates how Essex,
his dearest friend. was murdered at the
command of the queen, and how he was
made party to his condemnation: how Eliz-
abeth in her last sickness acknowledged
Bacon as her son to the doctor who attend
ed her; how Elizabeth was poisoned and
afterward strangled in her bed by Robert
Cecil. and several other thing that are
important if true

AS the young ladies entered the par
lors the parents hearts shrank from the
interview, and George fully shared the
pain. That they were laboring under
some strong excitement was very appar-
ent. They passed, without pause, direct
ly to Mr.. Newton's side, and the eldest,
laying trembling hand on his arm, said;
what is it all, father? We called at
Roseville and were told that the ladies
were engaged, but while we stood on the
steps receiving this message we could
not fail to hear Mrs. LIE Barron using the
most violent and abusive language to her
husband, and, oh, father, she coupled
your name with injustice and dishonor,
employing the most bitter terms, which
she surely intended US to hear
ssBoth accusations are utterly false"
Indignantly replied George.
.sOh. we of course were sure of that"
answered Rose, seating herself on her
fathers knee; ''but tell us directly, papa.
for that you and mother are greatly dis
turbed about something is very evident.
Drawing Lillian closer to his side. Mr.
Newton answered.:
'sMy dear girls, we are only disturbed
because we must tell you that which
may bring our children uneasiness and
disannointnent. but no dishonor.'

lack Chandler was the Republican
leader of the senate He died just after
making campaign speech for Blaine in
Chicago. William Window was the
most important man from Minnesota.
He and Blaine served together in two
presidential cabinets, but Blaine out
lived his friend.
When Blaine first became prominent,
Frederick T. Frelinghuysen was senator
from New Jersey. He succeeded Blain.
as secretary of state on the death OF
Garfield and the accession of Arthur.
but he did not live to see Blaine take his
old place under new president.
In Blaine's early days as congress
man Charles Summer and Henry Wilson
were senators from Massachusetts,. Both
died long ago. Ben Butler was in the
house. He died few day ago. Ma
thaniel P. Banks, just quarter of a
century older than Blaine, still lives. OF
the Massachusetts, delegation of that
time only Henry w. Dawes remains in
congress, and he will retire from the sen
ate next month to give place to young
Cabot Lodge, who for several years has
been one of Mr.. Blaines most intimate
friends
Then Kentucky had in congress sucL
men as Garrett Davis, the gifted but &c
centric Thomas G. McCreary, Proctor
Knott and James B. Beck Knott only
survives.
In the time of which we speak Andrew
johnson was president. He, as well as
his successors-G Grant, Hayes and Gar
feld-has gone the way of all mortals.
William H. Seward was secretary Of
state. He is dead. It was in the house
where Mr.. Blaine so long lay in the val
ley of the shadow that the attempt was
made to assassinate Mr.. Seward. Hugh
McCulloch was secretary of the treasury.
He died only recently. General Spinner
then treasurer Of the United States, is
also dead. Browning, secretary of the
interior; Randall, postmaster general.
and Gideon Welles, secretary of the
navy, are all dead.
Of the nine men who then sat on the
supreme court bench-Chase, Nelson,
Grier, Clifford, Swayne. Miller, Davis
and Field-the last named only sur
wives.
This rapid review of the noted names
of 20 years ago shows how Mr.. Blaine
survived nearly all the important men
of his earlier career, yet day before
yesterday was only the 63d anniversary
of Mr.. Blaines birth.

day school, and at the request of Mr..
Samuel Slater he opened a Sunday school
in the year 1791 or 1899. was pupil
in said Sunday school," Children Of the
most prominent men in town worked in
the mills, both boys and girls.
A prominent western man still living,
who has accumulated wealth and who is
ex-United States senator and ex-governor
of his state, can remember his life in the
mill in Pawtucket and going to Sunday
school. The old cashbooks of the firm
of Amy, Brown & Slater of "1797, fifth
month"; show the, amount of ''two
pounds fourteen shillings" paid fol
teaching school first days" This
record was made in the language of the
Friends, who were liberal supporters OF
the school. AS new mills were estab
lished each one contributed toward the
payment of expenses. The master re.
ceived dollar day for his services.
There was some doubt in the minds or
the people about the propriety of giving
secular instruction upon the Lords day,
and Mr.. Slater was at times obliged to
teach the school himself on account OF
these scruples. A Connecticut clergy
man refused to allow his son, student
at Brown university, Providence, to
teach, and another student who was pre-
pairing for the ministry would not accept
the position, although the remuneration
would be most acceptable addition to
his income, until he was convinced that
the work would not be a Dissertation of
the Sabbath, but the channel for dispens-
ing a widespreading good.
The library Of the school consisted at
one time of two New Testaments and
three Webster's spelling books. Reli-
gious instruction was gradually intro
duced, and with the appearance of week
day schools and churches the secular
work was given up entirely, and Sunday
schools became the special property Of
the different religious denominations.

Especial Correspondence


PAwTUcKET, R. l., Feb. 2.-It was in
1901, when Pawtucket was tiny village
with no churches and almost no oppor-
tunities for education of any kind, that
Samuel Slater started the first Sunday
school in New England and undoubt-
edly the first in America. That he did
so is mentioned on the marble tablet in
St. Paul's church, which perpetuates his
memory as matter Of as great impor-
lance as his introduction of the first cot
ton mill In this mill were employed a
number of children, and it was Mr..
Skaters idea to give them the rudiments
of an education on the only day they had
to devote to study.
The school was taught by a man
named David Arnold, and in 1865 his
daughter made an affidavit concerning
this work, which was published. She
said: 81 was born in 1888, as appears by
the family record. When a child I
worked in the factory of Amy, Brown
& Slater at Pawtucket. My brother,
Turpin H. Arnold, worked there at the
same time. My father resided in the

Fashion Notes for Men,

It is quite the "swagger thing" now
for man to have fur lined overcoat
for evening wear, and the handsomer the
fur the more ''swell" is the garment.
Mink and beaver look quite modest and
unpretentious beside the gorgeous sables
which are owned by those who can af-
ford them.
The most fashionable muff1er used by
men at present, says the New York Trib-
une, is of small check pattern of black
and white. This has the advantage of
not having been initiated as yet with
cheaper goods.
One of the most pronounced departures
of late in mans attire is in the ma
terial whereof his tailor makes his even
ing clothes, the traditional and glossy
broadcloth having quite gone out. All
the newest dress suits are made Of soft
vicuna, and even flannel is permissible.
81 never used to be able to tell any
thing about mems evening clothes" said
fair debutante, 'sbut I can always dis
tinguish now by the feel Of the cloth
when take mans arm if he is well
dressed or not. If it is smooth and hard
know he has an old fashioned coat, but
if it is soft and flannelly am sure he is
all right
Tan leather shoes are much worn even
in winter for bad going, and are made of
Russia leather, with very heavy soles.
They are very expensive, as az cheap
leather is absolutely useless for shoes of
this kind .

OUR DANGER.
Look Out for the Spring Of 1898 !!
FOREwARNED is FOREARMED.

4ne Hatcheries of Cholera, and What is
To Be seen There-If the Disease
Breaks Out in New York Where Will 1t
End?
There are few things which have never
come to pass which seem surer OF com
ing than Cholera this spring. Three
well known physicians, one in Boston,
two in New York, have said this. A re-
cent despatch from Hamburg in the
daily papers says:
sit is feared that the seeds of death
sowed last summer will yield fruitful
harvest in the spring"
There is no lodging this DIR ad disease
in the S ring and summer of 1898.
The country is ripe for it.
Our lax immigration laws will be
wholly responsible for the death rate
through Cholera during 1898.
For years the United States has been
Europe's sewer. ALI the scum of her
human tides have been skinned off and
ladled to our shores.
Austria, Bavaria, Poland, Russia,
Turk y, Italy, China, these and many
other foreign countries send the rag tag
the vile, the diseased, and the utterly
lost, to our shores. This they have been
doing for years with the utmost impuni-
ty.
As famous New York physician re-
Gently remarked to the writer.
''How can we escape Cholera next
year? Of course, it won't break out up
on 9TH Avenue. but it will eventually
reach there, and all over the land.l 1t
will break out over on Forsyth, and Di-
vision, and Hester streets, and the
Bowery, and Cherry Hill, and the Five
Points. and Roosevelt street. Those
points are points of dirt and vermin
That is where Cholera in this country
will break out. God knows where it
will end"
This is an awful but timely warning.
Cholera is deadly, that we know.
The way to escape the frightful vista
ton is to be prepared for it.
Get your house-that is your body-in
perfect order.
Purify your system.
Cleanse and enrich your blood.
Remember that the Boston Globe said
editorially:
contagious diseases seldom attack
perfectly healthy people. Persons whose
vitality is low and whose general health
is impaired. are the first to fall preys to
epidemics.
DR.. John B. Bray of Bridgton, in re-
Spouse to inquiry, said:
Certainly, people should now look
sharply after their health. If Cholera
reaches our shores everyone should be
prepared physically, SO far as possible, to
withstand it. We should put our bod
les in good condition, as well as our
premises. If the blood is foul, the liver
clogged, and the stomach out of order,
such a person is far more likely to be
among the first victims than others in
good health
He also indorses, as the ideal remedy
for purifying the blood and arousing vi
tality. KINGS SARSAPARILLA.
