A supposed Cholera victim Alive

In the beginning Of September a doc
tor went from small German town to
Hamburg to assist among the cholera
patients. Five days after arriving there
news reached his home that in following
his profession he had fallen a victim to
the deadly disease. His previous thrift
less career was Immediately forgotten,
he was mourned as Il martyr and all
sorts of laudatory compositions were
dedicated to his memory. A lady to
whom he had been betrothed was among
the mourners.
A sensation has been caused in town
now by the news that the young mans
mother has received letter from Amer
lea in which the son who was supposed
to be dead informs her that he is very
we'll, and explains that while at the hos
pital in Hamburg he had placed his card
in the pocket of man who had died of
cholera. and who. resembling him in
features, was buried as the DOCTOR

Sarah Bernhardt Is Disturbed.

Sarah Bernhardt is in great state of
mind just at present. Her reckless son,
Maurice. has squandered all of his own
fortune and not little of hers at
baccarat. and as his independent little
wife refuses to support him any longer
they have quarreled and separated.
Then business has not been exactly sue
cessful of late with the actress. Several
of her ventures have not been rich in
results. Finally they have burlesqued
her Cleopatra. and represent the divine
as mildly dancing and singing "Ta-ra-ra
Boom-dc-ay." and Sarah doesn't like it a
bit. One can fancy the choice but un-
translatable variety of French profanity
with which the great tragedienne dis
cusses this succession of misfortunes.-

pa,Ia Is. Hill in the senate.

Mr.. Hills influence in the senate is
very much greater than is generally be-
lieved, though it may not be strong
enough for contention with the admin
istration. In a measure Hill has taken
the place of German in the senate. All
the friends that German lost in Chicago
Hill gained, and this gives him sufficient
power in the senate TO make himself
quite disagreeable to the administration
if be desires to do so. The assumption,
however, that no is going to put on u
coat of war paint and carry bowie
knife in each boot and Il brace of six
shooters in view does not give sufficient
credit 10 his discretion and skill as a
political wirepuller.
Notwithstanding the bitterness of feel
ing which is provoked by the New York
senatorial fight. it may be depended upon
that Mr.. Hill will not appear in the SEN
ate in the attitude of an open opponent
of the administration. There is good
reason for believing that Mr.. Hill will
not only decline to pose as the leader of
an opposition. but in spite of all the al
fronts he feels have been put upon him
he will support the administration in
most matters. Where trouble is looked
for by those who are skimming over the
surface is with relation to the comfrma-
tions. There is notion of some people
that Hill will make fight at every op-
portunity. They are probably mistaken.
Men who are pretty familiar with the
situation and know Hill very well be-
lieve that he will follow no such line of
policy, but will approve everything and
every person passing his test of Democ-
racy.
1t is believed the only thing Hill has
in view is to stand on guard to prevent
the preferment of Mugwumps. His test
of party qualifications will not be per-
sonal support of himself But he hates
a Washington Star.

Married at the Head of a Coffin.

Mourners who gathered at funeral
in Elmhurst saw remarkable sight, In
the coffin in the parlor lay the body of
Mrs. Lucy D. Clay. Friends and rela-
tives were seated about. The Rev. T. j.
Collins, of Scranton, was there to preach
the funeral sermon. Just before the
time set for the services to begin A. B.
Clay, son of the dead woman. walked
into the room leading Miss Lillian Sny-
der. These two were lovers. and they
there requested the Rev. Collins to mar
ry them. When young Clay produced
the required certificate the preacher con-
sented to perform the ceremony. The
bride and groom took their places near
the head of the coffin and, with the
mourners for witnesses, they were pro-
nounced husband and wife. Then the
funeral services went on.-Cor. Phil

The Dangers in Iced vgater.

Cautions have been issued by the i'm
pcrial health Office of Berlin with regard
TO the use of ice. Investigation has
shown that the ice of commerce sold at
Berlin contains heterogeneous that
are dangerous to health, and the con-
clusion has been arrived at that illnesses
frequently observed after iced drinks
have been taken have probably less to do
with the coldness of the drink than with
the disease germs contained in the ice.
The public have consequently been
warned to eschew drinks and food which
have become dangerous to health in the
manner suggested. d.-Cor. Manchester

early hour Tuesday morning, tho parties

groom startled the invited guests by fall
ing in faint. His nervousness agitated
the bride, and it was feared postpone

quest, when he regained his composure,
the officiating clergyman completed the
ceremony. While going down the aisle

A Japanese Hero.

The story of Sogoro, a peasant of Japan,
s one of the most pathetic in the annals OF
1croism. In 1914 the country folk of Sa-
zoora were so oppressed by land agents that
heir condition appeared to them simply un-
oearable. They had no newspapers to set
:orth their wrongs, and remonstrance of
any sort was dangerous. Driven to despera-
lion, some of them met together and pre-
pared II petition to the daimio, who was
spending in dissipation ut Toxic the money
wrung from them by taxation.
Taey wrote and sent the petition, but
pG notice whatever was taken of it. Posi-
bly, no one had even taken the trouble to
cead it, and their wrongs seemed to be with
put remedy.
Moved by the general suffering, Sogoro, II
man of middle age, determined as q last
and desperate resort to present the petition
in person to his august greatness, the ty
coon.
Taking leave of his friends, he went to
Toxic, secreted himself undera bridge which
the great man was to pass, and at the right
moment pushed the petition at the end of a
long bamboo directly into the royal hands.
The act was without parallel in all the
history of Japan. A mere peasant had dis
turbed the royal seclusion and at the same
moment broken the etiquette of the realm
into thousand pieces. The enormity of
the act led to immediate inquiries into the
circumstances of the case, and the justice of
complaint was fully proved
The peasants wrongs were at once re-
dressed but since decorum must be pre-
served in Japan at any cost the one man
who had thus served his people was deliv-
cred over for punishment to the very daimic
of whom he had complained.
BY his order Sogoro, his wife and their
three children were put to death. Today q
monument marks the spot where they died
and their names are held in grateful re
membrance.-Youth's Companion.

About the Spelling of Words.

The Springfield Republican has adopted
the disagreeable trick Of spelling certain
familiar words ending in ''gue" without
their full complement of letters. In re-
viewing new book a few days ago it
says, for instance. The author excels in
bright and amusing dialog," etc. 1t al
ways fatigs us to see such vulgar iber-
ties taken with our native tong. and we
think it as much of crime for a liter
ary man to cut off the end of word as
for rog to cut off the end of pigs
tail, for instance. Form is to all printed
language what brog is to the speech Of
the Irishman, and plag. we say, be on
the man who would deprive either Of its
natural charms.-Charlesto News and

Too PROMPT in His Application.

One of the most interested parties in
the late Connecticut River road deal was
a former superintendent of the Central
New England and Western. When it
was first reported that the River road
had gone into the hands of the consoli-
dated road this gentleman sat down and
wrote President Clark asking for the su-
perintendency Of the new acquisition
After mailing the letter he bought a
newspaper and read of the unexpected
turn affairs had taken and the control OF
the road passing into the hands Of the
Philadelphia and Reading, the company
that had ousted him once. Now he's
sorry. he wrote. --=Hartford Post

Dentistry and Diplomacy.

We notice that the United States lega-
ton is doing duty as a dentists office
and consul generals court. This no
doubt is another good stroke of business
which kills two birds with one stone.
But what if the White House were let
out in part to a publican? The Ameri-
can legation is national property and
ought not to be converted into drug
stores or dentists Offices. A sense Of the
fitness Of things or the dignity Of the flag
is evidently unknown at the American
legation. Siam Free Press.

fire smoldered in corner, the smoke
disappe airing in a crack. In another
corner was a bed of faded hemlock
boughs and two blankets. Cooking
utensils and clothes lay about with
boxes and a barrel.
OF these things the four men took
small cognizance. The pudgy man
did not curse the little man, no. did
the little man swear in the abstract.
Eight eyes were fixed upon the center
of the room of rocks.
A gray stone, cut squarely, like an
alter, sat in the middle of the room.
Over 1t burned three candles in
swaying tin cups hung from the cell
ing. Before it, with what seemed to
be small volume clasped in his yell
low fingers, stood man. He was an
infinitely sallow person in the brown
checked shirt of the plows and cows
The rest of his apparel was boots. A
long gay beard dangled from hischin
He fixed glinting eyes upon the hear
ofmen and remained motionless. Fas-
cinated, their tongues cleaving, their
blood cold, they arose to their feet
The cleaning glance of the recluse
swept slowly over the group until il
found the face of the little man. Then
it staid and burned.
The little man shlyered and crum.
pled as the dried leaf under the glass
Finally the recluse slowly, deeply
spoke. It was true voice from .
cave-cold, solemn and damp.

Then And Now.

The Republicans of Snyder county
and everywhere else for that matter
may, in view of the near approach
of the election, do well to remember
this-that on the 4th of March last
the country was N prosperous con-
dition. Farm and manufactured
products brought good prices, labor
was in demand and wages good,
trade and industry fourished, mon
ey was abundant and found ready
investment in the various pursuits
of life. On that day not only n
Democratic President was inaugur-
ated, but a Democratic Congress
in the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives-came into pow er.
Within sixty days from that time a
panic ensued, currency became
scarce and commanded n premium,
trade was paralyzed, manufactures
closed, banks failed, workmen were
thrown out of employment, wages
declined, demand for products of
all kind ceased and shorter hours
and fewer days work for the toilers
in the mills, in the stores, in the
workshop and on the farm was II
daily occurrence. With the decline
III demand for manufactured articles
came decline in the quantity of
these products, and consequent
decline in the need for employment
of the workman and necessary de.
cline in wages. At that time the
National Treasury was filed to over
flowing. Now there is an admitted
deficit and shortage of fifty millions
of dollars. The Democratic voter
may also bear in mind these indis-
putable facts. Let him ask himself
whether this is not the plain truth.
He need not inquire into the causes
He knows the fact. If he wants the
causes he can readily find them in
Democratic hostility to our indus
tries, in the distrust of the Demo
cratic policy, and in the demon
strated incapacity of the Democratic
party to govern the country. There
fore it is that we earnestly urge ev-
cry voter of whatever party affilia-
tion to o. I his ballot in favor of
principles and for the
A.. arty and ticket in or

and this land of ours, so abounding

wealth, may be restored 20 it's form
