WON'T PRAY AGAINST CHOLERA.

Themselves.

because heaven helps InOso VINO help
Themselves.
The members of st. Stephens church
who attended divine service Sunday
morning listened to q sermon which in
the proper sense of the phrase created
sensation and furnished them with food
for discussion during the remainder of
the day. The topic of DR.. McConnelrs
discourse was on municipal govern
ment and incidentally upon cholera, but
instead of combining himself to common
place utterances ON the subject he dealt
with it in its Nroadest bearings and gave
his hearers discourse Of which it is safe
to say not a word was lost.
1--WE are told" said DR.. Mcconnell,
"to DO ON our guard against the cholera
The medical profession is united in the
belief that the scourge will break out
again this summer not only in Europe,
but in this country. The germs of the
disease have lain dormant during the
winter, but so soon as they are revivified
by the sun the death roll will begin to
be called, and all the resources Of mod
ern science will be called on to combat
the plague. 1t is admitted on all sides
that we are in jeopardy; it is admitted
on all sides that the work Of prevention
cannot begin too soon.
"There are various methods of meeting
the situation, most of which are in our
own hands. That the most strenuous
efforts are necessary cannot be ques-
toned. But it has been suggested that
the clergy should unite in offering up
prayer to Divine Providence that this
calamity may be averted from us. With
full sense of the gravity Of the occasion
and after the most earnest reflection, l
have decided that | for one can offer no
such prayer. will not pray that this
city may be spared from the cholera
when see that the city itself is making
no effort to guard against the danger.
"If the cholera makes havoc among
US, it will be because our streets are
dirty, our water is impure, our drainage
is filthy And whose fault is this? 1t is
your fault, it is my fault, in that we do
not see to it that our city government is
rightly administered and that polite
clans are not permitted to use its fran
chises for their own ends. And our
lethargy is all the more unworthy in that
it is selfish. For the cholera, if it comes
will not place us in danger. We can
avoid it. We can leave the crowded
city and betake ourselves comfortably
to places where pure air and good water
will free us from apprehension.
But if you should go where l go, into
the dwellings of the poor, you would
realize what a calamity is impending
over the great mass of the inhabitants of
the city, and how empty, yes and worse,
it would be to pray that the cholera may
be staid from entering homes which
our neglect has left to stand amid sur
roundings which must breed the very
pestilence that we seek to escape" -

In the judgment of Hon. James 8.
Clarkson, ex-president Of the National
League of Republican Clubs, the Repub-
hcan party may now safely take a new
departure after having summarily de-
parted from official life. Several new
departures will not be too many, Presi-
dent Clarkson apparently thinks. Among
the planks which he believes the Repub-
lican platform of the future may safely
contain are the following: A one term
presidency, election of senators by vote
If the people instead of by legislatures,
improved roads, government ownership
Of telegraphs, equal political rights for
women and courts of arbitration for la

| The hopelessness of the fight against

Ono of the Greatest Americans,

One hundred years ago this May Eli
Whitney perfected his cotton gin and
put it to practical working, or its ef-
fects on the destinies of this country
Macauley, the historian, said, "What
Peter the Great did to make Russia DOM
inant Eli Whitney's invention has more
than equaled in its relation to the power
and progress of the United States"
1t is interesting to know that the first
idea of machine which should sepa-
rate the seed of cotton from tAe fiber was
woman's inspiration. What is more,
Eli Whitney could probably not have
made it if he had not been a trained me
chanic before he was Student, teacher
and inventor. Whitney was born In
Westboro, Mass, in 1765. During his
early years he was nailmaker, and
in that humble occupation he earned
money to start to Yale college. After a
b. of stay there he was scholar enough
to teach country school. That was his
first step upward. He taught school and
saved money sufficient to graduate him
at Yale.
Time out of mind, teaching first, then
studying law, has been the plan of impe-
cunious young college graduates. Itwa
Whitney's plan. He was visiting the
widow of General Nathaniel Greene on
the Savannah river in 1893, pursuing his
law studies. Some Of Mrs. Greene's
guests were one day saying what a pity
it was that the seed could not be sepa-
rated more readily from green seed cot
ton, for then it would be the most profit
able of all. At once Mrs. Greene pro-
posed that Whitney should be set at the
task of inventing seed cleaning ma
chine. "Whitney can do anything" said
Mrs. Greene.
Whitney began the work and more
than justified her expectations. But so
few machinists were there in the south
at that time that he himself had to weld
work and draw every part of the iron he
used both for the machine he made and
the tools with which he made it. Before
his invention only one pound of green
seed cotton could be cleaned by hand in
day. The cotton gin at once placed
the United States triumphantly at the
head of all the cotton neutrality-suspicious.,
where it has remained and will remain.
But the ingratitude with which Whit
ney was treated by his countrymen is
almost on par with the treatment Co
lumbus received from the Spanish ma
ton he enriched. The greatest bene-
factors of mankind fare the worst.

Luck and Ill Luck.

Some persons seem lucky in any en-
terprise they undertake, while others
who make Investments are sure to lose
their capital" was remarked by Will
Bertram. II knew young fellow that
invested brass watch which cost. him
50 in a lot in Lincoln, Ills, which he
sold later for $4,000. 1t was the lot
that the Lincoln House was later built
upon, and the rise in real estate came in
less than four years after his investment
was made. / know another man who
went to Sumner county, Kan, in 1874
and carried with him shotgun which
cost him $13. Wellington had just been
made the county seat and was then a
town of 300 inhabitants, but 40 miles
from a railroad. The young man was
offered six choice lots in the center of
Wellington for his S13 shotgun. The
offer was refused, and five years later
the same lots were sold for 200 each. :"

e.mething wili DROP at Chicasos.


! 1t may be the prices for board and
lodging, but if it is not, then Chicago
herself will hear something drop that
will makes tremendous racket. Despite
the declaration that prices would not be
raised exorbitantly, despite the official as.
surance of General Davis in magazine
article that Chicago had better sense than
to kill the goose which lays the golden
egg, the cry already goes up that extor-
tion is the rule on all sides. One CORE
spondent declares that it cost him 70
cents to get cup of tea; another writes
over his own signature that for So day
one can get only the commonest sort of
food and lodging.
This looks as if Chicago has not the
common sense the rest of the country
has hitherto given her credit for. She is
in debt deeply. On the great influx of
visitors to her fair depends her ability to
get out. Thousands of her citizens will
be ruined financially, and the fair guar
antors will be saddled with debt that
will bankrupt some of them if that show
is failure through the greed of board
ing house keepers. Has the prevailing
characteristic of the millions Of hogs an
nually slaughtered at Chicago perhaps
somehow entered into the spirit of the
people of that town? Their conduct
looks especially queer alongside the fact
that the railroads are making liberal re-
ductions in rates.
The stories that have already gone out
about the dizzy prices for accommoda-
lions at Chicago will, if uncontradicted,
prevent at least 500, 900 people from visit
ing the fair. They simply cannot and
will not pay the prices quoted as being
extorted from visitors. We are the peo-
pie, but we are not millionaires-we
whose little admission fees and board bills
are to make that fair success. If the
spirit of the favorite Chicago staple gets
in the air to the extent of making the
fair a failure, Chicago will get name
for herself that will go laundering down
the corridors Of time along with that of
Shylock and the fellow who would not
trust some of our soldiers for beef dur
ing the Revolutionary war. She will be
mathematical from one end of this re-
public to the other, and her name will
henceforth have an evil smack in Europe
till she could even wish the waters of
Lake Michigan were rolling over her I'M
quiet bed.
Let Chicago look out!

Sanitary Day.

! The idea of establishing a state SAM
.tary day is making progress in Pennsyl-
ivania. A special committee of the state
board of health have reported in favor
of setting apart the first Thursday of each
May as state Sanitary day. They do not
recommend, however, that it be made
legal holiday, but that its observance be
simply impressed on the people of the
state and its hours be spent in instruct
ing popular gatherings in the way to be
healthy. If this were done and the peo-
pie could be induced to follow of their
own accord such instruction, then the
state of Pennsylvania would be the
healthiest in the Union. No epidemics,
however dangerous, would affect her cit
liens to any great extent.
The methods proposed for teaching
sanitary science to the people on the
given day are described in The Public
Ledger as follows:
The means proposed to accomplish this pur-
pose are that only one session shall be held in
THE public schools, and that shall be devoted to
Ian explanation to the pupils of the meaning
and intent of hygiene; that the board Of health
shall prepare or have prepared popular PAM
lphlets on hygiene to be distributed with the aid
pf the school children; that articles on the
progress of sanitary science shall be prepared
and submitted for publication In the news
papers; that clergymen shall be requested to
call attention to the observance of Sanitary
day; that athletic sports shall be organized in
every community for the afternoon of Sanitary
day, and that the state board of health shall
promote the holding Of local mass meetings on
the evening Of that day, when representatives
of the board of health shall address the people
upon the sanitary needs Of the locality, and the
people shall discuss and decide what sum Of
money the proper authorities should devote to
sanitary work for the ensuing year.

pills, and was able to walk out greatly i'm
proved in health Another case Mr.. Barr
vouched for was city patient, who had been
cured by the pills of the effects of la grippe
after having been given up by the doctors.
Many others had spoken highly of the Pink
Pills as fine remedy for nervous and blood
disorders. Other druggists told the same
story.
A further investigation revealed the fact that
Dr. Williams Pink Pills are not patent med.
icine in the sense in which that term is usual
ly understood, but are scientific preparation
successfully used in general practice for many
years before being offered to the public gener-
ally. They contain in a condensed form all
the elements necessary to give new life and
nerves. They are an unfailing specific for
such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial pa
raysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia,
rheumatism, nervous headache, the after eff
fects of la grippe, palpitaton of the heart
pale and sallow complexions, that tired feel
ing resulting from nervous prostration; all
diseases depending upon vitiated humors in
the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipe-
las. etc. They are also specific for troubles
peculiar to females, such as suppressions, ir-
regularites, and all forms of weakness. They
build up the blood and restore the glow of
health to pale or sallow cheeks. In the case
of men they effect radical cure in all cases
arising from mental worry, overwork or ex-
cesses of whatever nature.
On further inquiry the writer found that
these pills are manufactured by the DR.. Will
liams' Medicine Company, Schenectady, N.
Y. and Brockville, Ontario, and are sold in
boxes (never in loose form by the dozen or
hundred) at 50 cents box, or six boxes for
$3.50, and may be had of all druggists or di-
rect by mail from DR.. Williams Medicine
Company, from either address. The price at
which these pills are sold makes course of
treatment comparatively inexpensive as COM
pared with other remedies or medical treat.

Man In the Ewes of His Interiors.

1t is the habit of man to look down
upon the brute creation as his interiors
and yet if man could know what the
dumb animals think of him perhaps he
would be less pulled up with his own
Importance and superiority.
1t must appear ridiculous to the dog,
for instance, that man should require SO
extensive an equipment of words to ex-
press his wants and emotions-words
that serve rather to hide than to illu-
inmate his thoughts-when the dog with
his limited vocabulary expresses himself
clearly. Surely dog must regard his
bark, capable as it is of almost endless
modulations, as superior in the express
sion of thought to mans cumbrous flow
of ambiguity.
Then the swine, which I'm is prone
to regard as the living embodiment of
gluttony, has no doubt an opinion of
man which in its turn is by no means
fattering to its object. The hog might
