Cholera, Dirt and Prayer.

DR.. Mcconnell, the well-known
Episcopalian clergyman OF Phila-
delphia, in a recent sermon said:
81 have been instructed by my &C.
clesiastical superior to use prayer
to Almighty God to avert the chol-
era. But cholera is dirt disease.
To prevent the cholera you have
only to remove the dirt. If you
leave the dirt, you invite the chol-
era. This city of Philadelphia is
full of filth, which nobody is trying
to remove. To let that filth remain
and pray to God to keep away the
cholera is to trife both with the
cholera and with Almighty God.
While that filth is allowed to remain
I refuse to offer such prayers

Getting Rich on Credit.

American shrewdness is we'll illus
trated in real estate transaction
that occurred in small town not
many miles from Pittsburg. On
capital of rs cents man possessed
himself of $4,000 worth of pro-
perty. Six or seven months ago
MIR. Blank met with some losses In
business which cleaned out what
capital he had and left him with
Is cents in his pocket. He realized
that something had to be done.
Having a place where he was al
ways sure of accommodation no
wasted no time, but on the very
day he met his loss he began to
look about to turn something up.
For long time he had noticed q
2SS-acre tract of land adjoining a
town of 5000 inhabitants which he
thought would make great real
estate investment. He went to the
agents of the estate and secured q
ninety day option on the place for
$3.50. He didn't have the money,
but being we'll known in the neigh
borhood was given credit. He next
engaged surveyor, who laid the
plot out in 1900 lots and charged
him $3.50 for his services. This,
likewise credit. He thought it
would be good idea to have a
street railway located, and as time
was money in his case he succeeded
in getting charter through, being
friend Of the Governor, in three
days, says the Pittsburg Dispatch.
He next announced through ad-
vertisements obtained on credit
that he desired to sell number of
lots at $3.50 each, conditionally.
That is, no money was to be paid on
the purchase until he had broken
ground for the location of some
mandatory employing not less
than 200 men. When such a fac
tory was started the buyers were to
hand him half of the purchase
money. In eighteen days $4,000
worth of property was disposed of
to some of the most solid citizens
of that town and Pittsburg, great
deal being sold in blocks. About
this time the creditors who favored
him were beginning to press for
their money, SO in order to hasten
a consummation of his plans he
called upon a prominent manufac-
turer of Pittsburg and made him q
proposition that if he would move
his works to this point he would
give him so much ground and q
cash bonus besides.
All this time the promoter had
nothing but bis Is cents, and his
creditors were pressing him on ev-
cry side. The manufacturer refused
to locate until he received deed
of the property. The promoter
here met another difficulty. He
couldn't get deed until he paid
for it. He finally saw way out OF
it and asked the manufacturer if he
wouldn't begin digging the founda-
ton, assuring him the deed would
be forthcoming in due time. This
the manufacturer did, and no
sooner was the stone hauled and the
ground broken than the real estate
man called upon his purchasers for
half the purchase money, according
to agreement. In couple of days
he had $42,50O in his possession.
With this he was able to pay the
manufacturer his bonus, to settle
all his debts, and by placing sever
al mortgages to purchase the pro-
perty. He now has four manufac-
tories under way, two squares of
railway laid and 1900 lots left after
having paid for everything and al
lowed himself a liberal salary be-
sides.-New York Telegram.

ity that the panic spread all over
the country.
WALL STREET CHEATED THE PANIC.
A general distrust of bank and
financial institutions seized the
whole people and an unexampled
boarding of currency began in all
parts of the country. The result is
that the nation is now undergoing
a financial stringency such as was
never seen here before, and like
retributive justice. the severest sut-
ferers of all are the financiers of the
Atlantic cities who inaugurated
and created the panic. The great
banks of New York, Boston and
Philadelphia have practically sus-
pended. and the work of furnishing
currency to those who have work
men to pay is relegated to brokers,
who sell at premium.
NEW YORK BANKS SOLVENT.
The New York City banks have
now some $37,OOO,OOO of Clearing
House certificates, which is spe-
cies of currency that is good between
the banks themselves. Checks and
drafts on Boston, New York and
Philadelphia are selling in Chicago
at from $15 to $50 per $1,000
discount, and go begging at that.
Over $25, 100000 of gold has been
imported since July 1st, but still
these great banks are not able to
resume their old relations with the
banks of the country. They under
took to teach the West a lesson
and require them to pay up, but
they found that the West is the
great source of the wealth of the
country, and that from the West
come the exports of foreign coun
tries, and that the money of foreign
countries must come West in order
to secure those exports. They have
found, too, that the West is full o
able and independent business men
who do not find it necessary tt
simply initiate their brothers of th'
East.

He Wants New Arms.

Theodore Lee, the armless news
dealer, who went east recently with
vague idea that he could get arms
grated on to his stumps, has been
heard from. He has been enquir-
ing among specialists regarding his
case, and he finds that he may yet
secure arms. First, the arms that
are to be grated on to his stumps
must be from healthy man or
woman, and the hope is held out
to Mr.. Lee that he may find some
person, condemned to be hanged,
for instance, who would for $1,000,
say, to be given to a relative or
charity, allow an arm to be ampu-
tated for grating purposes. Mr..
Lee has, in substance, been in
formed that the splice would have
to be made just above the elbow
joint.
When Mr.. Lee has found a per-
son who will submit to the opera
ton they will have to be brought to-
gether in such a position as to per-
nit the arms of both which are to
be operated upon being placed in
plaster of Paris casts, SO that they
cannot be moved. Then it is pro-
posed to cut the back part of both
the arms, also cutting through the
bone. The arm that is to be grated
on to Mr.. Lees stump, or that por-
ton of it that is cut away at the
first operation. is to be adjusted
and fastened to the stump and al.
lowed to remain until it heals and
there is evidence of circulation be.
tween the stump and the part that
is grated on. The second opera
ton will be the cutting of the re.
mainder of the inside portion of the
arm, together with the artery and
the nerve. The operation, it il
proposed, however, is not to be un'
dertaken until the surgeons are sat
isfied that the circulation through
the part of the arm already grated
on is sufficient to nourlsh ano
support the new forearm.-St. Paul

GENERAL ALGER's sensible talk
on the pension business will COM
mend itself to every thinking man
in the country. Instead Of blast
ing the administration with sever
al kinds Of palsy, as did the his
toric Fairchild, he candidly admits
that he has seen nothing that in
dicates a hostile feeling to the
veterans Of the union who are en-
titled to pensions. Alger does
not hesitate tc declare himself in
favor Of a complete investigation
of the pension rolls. When Grand
Army veterans as eminent as Gen
eral Alger talk in this vein there
is but little excuse for the frenzy
of the politicians who are declaring
SO vociferously against pension
reform.

The figures presented by Secretary
Morton of the Agricultural department
will be disappointing to those who have
believed that the system of meat in
spection established by congress some
thing over two years ago would have
the tendencyto increase exports of those
products to Germany and France. Mr..
Morton has no hesitancy in asserting
that the experiment has been a failure
in so far as practical results are con-
cerned. The United States is sending
less pork to Germany now than she did
before the inspection law went into
effect. In the ten months ending April
1, 1892, the exports of pork to Germany
amounted to 1884, 60 pounds, while for
the corresponding ten months ending
April l, 1898, the exports to the same
country amounted to GA, 900 pounds.
Pc ssibly this decline in the export of
hog products may be due to the high
price of pork.
