His Adversary Elected Him.

Jack Daugherty, who was elect
ed Alderman of the Seventh ward
blythe largest majority, 364, OF any
of the ward aldermen elected on
the winning ticket, thus gives the
situation: "Well, Charles Mierow
and myself were both candidates
for nomination for alderman in our,
(the 7th) ward against the city ad-
ministration candidate. The meet
ing to nominate the opposition al
dermanfc candidate was held
at Maggot's grocery store. The
administ ;atiOn candidate that his
friends there with these instruc-
TONS" By all means you should
vote for the nomination of that
fellow Daugherty because | will
beat him easy but ifyOu vote for
that Mierow | shall have a hard
time. Mr.. Hansen who headed the
delegation sent by the administra-
ton to attend the meeting in Oppo-
sitiOn to it seconded my nOmlna-
ton. He was the presiding judge
who with Mr.. Heiligmann had Mr..
Mierow the election judge and Mr..
Cumberland clerk arrested and
carried away from the polls. When
my opponent learned of his defeat
by 364 majority he exclaimed: at
would have been better to nOmi-
nate Mierow against me than
Daugherty."

great deal toward my election, and

the same if Mr.. MierOw had been
nominated. In fact, | think that

elected by a higher majority than
any other ward alderman, and |
am bound to bow my graceful ac-
acknowledgements to my opponent

Promiscuous Kissing.
Cleveland Leader.

ClbNbldHu LbdutI.
COLUMBUS, o., Feb. CDR. c. O.
PrObst, secretary of the State
Board of Health, is giving serious
consideration to the smallpox
cases in Akron. He attended the
Pastors Union and gave the rev.
erend gentlemen some very whole
some advice upon "prOmiscuous
kissing" and the communion
cup" He showed in the first place
that women were doing too much
kissing of one another, and of each
others babies, and that pastors
were obliged to kiss too many ba-
bies; that cOntagion was being
conveyed from mouth to mouth to
a serious extent, and advice was
given to check this practice to
some extent. Again DIR. PrObst
showed that the use Of one cup for
100 or 200 members of a cOngrega-
ton during communion service,
was bad and barbarous practice,
which had a tendency to spread
infection. He suggested that each
member of the congregation be
provided with his own cup. The
pastors agreed with him to some
extent, and adopted resolutions
thanking him, and promising to
take steps in the line of his sug-
geStiOnS.

first class degree in 1851. He en-
tered the House of Commons for
the borough of Newark in 1882,
where he continued as an advocate
of the Peel or Tory party until 1891
After refusing to hold office under
Lord Derby in 1852, he became
Chancellor of the EXchequer in the
government formed by the Earl of
Aberceen, from which time he may
be regarded as a leader of the
Liberal Party. He resigned from
Parliament in 1886 after having
been for almost half a century the
greatest power in the politics OF
Great Britain. He has published
several works, among which are
"Homer and the Homeric Age

The term ''village" is of an accom-
modating nature On the Plaisance.
Villages are there as thick as blackber-
ries, and they range from collection
of booths to dance hall. Two rival
Irish villages are situated close to the
entrance to the Plaisance, one of them
the pet undertaking of Lady Aber-
deem, the wife of the chief magistrate
of Canada, the other under the super
intendence of Mrs. Ernest Hart, an
Englishwoman with Irish sympathies.
Both make conscientious endeavor
to be villages, each containing its
quota Of matched cottages, where
ideslized peasants in imposaibly white
aprons sell butternnilk and bog
ornaments. Each is credited with an
ancestral mansion, Lady Aberdeen
having selected Barney castle for the
model of Ter principal building, Mrs.
Hart the Castle Of Donegal.
Some justification, TOO. may be fosszd
for Applying the term village to the
German concession, with its esh1oss
and church. The s,ar.;a.nders and
Javanese also haze transferred the
homes OF their native lands to Ar1eri-
can soil, tae Javancse village in par
ti2ular. with it's h~ul boo cottages and
roofs oS palm leaf, beasg among the
most picturesque objects on the fan

From the top Of the Ferris wheel in
the Midway Piaisance you can see all
the Kingdoms of the earth in a moment
of time All kindreds, nations ane
tongues are to be found on that queer
three-quarters of a mile, without par
or precedent. Never was there such
an opportunity to survey the world
from China to Peru. Half dozen con-
tinents are represented in the aggrega-
ton of concessions. Man, as he is to-
day, beyond the pale, as he was a few
Thousand years ago in all lands, is on
exhibition on the Plaisance. He is
there in all shades, from conventional
pink and white to lemon color and burnt
sienna. He elbows his brother from
the antipodes day after day on the
broad roadway. Half a lifetime spent
ia studying books of travel would
not convey the quantity of informa-
ton that may be derived from week
spent on the Plaisance. It is far more
than mere ssshow." It is an educa-
ton. From savage naturalness through
dim Decentralization to oriental ease,

civilization Is traced out in unmistak'
able characters.
Then, too, there is whole multitude
of displays quaint or curious from
some point of view that illustrate mat
tiers other than the manners of the
orient or the lack of them in Africa.
Things industrial are not forgotten
and the savage breasts over on Freak
avenue are soothed by the charms of
music rich and rare. Visitors who
stroll into glass factory, blase as they
may be with the marvels Of the exposi-
ton, are startled to find themselves in
close proximity to Turk or two, a
German cavalryman, a Tyrolcse singer,
French danseuse, and a Chinese his
triton. Those are the daily occurrences
of the Midway Plaisance.

eeerns to contain a forest OF spires
and domes. Not more varied or null
tiform than the inhabitants of the
street are the styles of its architecture.
There are dainty minarets surmounted
with the Turkish crescent, roof OF
thatch and red tiled buildings after the
fashion of a century or two ago. Most
of them manage, whatever their style,
to protrude tower Of some sort, size
or material slyward, and in the dis
tance the whole is an inextricably tan
gled mass of tapering turrets-
High above them all is the lofty Fer
ris wheel, with its myriad supporting
rods. that from afar seem rs closely
woven as the meshes of q SPIDERS web.
THE huge erection stands half way, be-
tween the fair grounds and the west
ern termination of the Plaisanca, and
towers above all it's surroundings,
dwarfing the tallest of the nainarets in
the comparison. Certainly it is as dis
tinctly the curiosity of the fair as was
the Eiffel tower at the Paris exposi-
ton four years ago. From the ground
to the top of the wheel is e distance
of $50 feet, and in its circumference
are contained SO cars, each construct
ed to carry SO people. ga ride in the
wheeI' comprises twice around the cir
emit. a. distance in all of $500 feet. and
oecupies in all some 90 minutes. From
one point of view the wheel is some
what on the nature Of disappoint-
ment. People who board the cars in
the hope of experiencing any OF the
utilization of the nerves that accom-
panies a risk will find themselves mis-
taken. The motion, though of course
perceptibae, is slow and dignifed. ore
does not realize that the height is
vast, and, locked in behind the grliies
of the windows, there is little moro
conception of risk than If the wheei
were tower of granite.
Theaters galore are to be fcund OH 'ne
Plaisance. Eight or nina are IN a
chronic condition OF performance all
day and most Of the night. The more
important Of them are OF the easb'
eastern, and bear strong family re-
semblance the one to the other. Their
attractions are largely saltatory, and
for the first time Americans are az
forded an opportunity to view the
dance du ventre, If not in all its naked
ness, at least nearly SO. The theater
where this performance takes place
Is attached to the concession known

as the s'Street in Cairo" Opinions as
to the advisability of permitting the
performance have been much divided,
but no official censure has been passed
upon what is sometimes termed its
indecency. Certain it is that the
danseuses are clad more after a fashion
suited to the climate of sultry Egypt
than of chilly Chicago, and certain it
is that the audience is mainly of the
sterner sex. But beyond all doubt the
theater illustrates the customs of the
country whence the performers have
come, and the concessionaires of the
Cairo street defend their danseuses on
the count of their chronological inter
est. Like all oriental dances the mo-
ton is of the body rather than or the
feet. There is no slight grace about
the performance, and there is ryti-
mic skill that probably no occidental
premiere could acquire.
At the theater attached ia the Turk
ish village there arc dances that differ
from the Cairoene in degree rather
than kind. There IS the same wave
like movement of tbs body, the same
swayipg in sections to music, and the
same languorous grace. This is like
wise tho case at che Algerian theater.
Goth these latter playhouses, how
ever. possess their distinctive features.
There is complicated presentation OF
a wedding, with feasting and cy1nbals
and quaint ceremonies, on the boards
of the Turkish stheater. The Alge-
rians show Aissaous, or torture dance,
display sufficiently horrible to be fas-
cinating. Either in actual fact or in
mimicry the performers, who are
swarthy Arab men, work themselves
into frothing religious frenzy, and
under its influence proceed to wound
themselves grievously Among their
feats are the chewing and swallowing
of broken glass and of prickly cacti,
the mastication Of live scorpions, and
the piercing of their cheeks with sun
dry spikes. This performance is given
once each day, and it requires no
small exercise of faith on the part of
the audience in the theater to swallow
the showman's statement to the effect
that it is the evening prayer to Ma
homet.
Then there are other theaters. too.
The Chinese opera house is perhaps the
most interesting of them all, and the
hoarse clangor of it's boiler-plate or
chestra rings in the earslof every pass
err by on the Plaisance. In Difference

the play has been abridged nom

The Maine Non-F0rfeiture Law.

There can be no reasonable doubt, but
that one of the chief contributing factors
in the Union Mutuars acquisition of
New Business is the fact that the Bene-
fits of the Maine Non-Forfeiture Law
are daily becoming better understood by
intending insurers-and with this clearer
understanding they naturally secure
Policies containing its benefits, it being
equally well understood that the Union
Mutual Life Insurance Company, Of
Portland, Maine. is the only cOmpa-
my issuing Policies under this law.
During the twenty-six weeks constitut-
ing the first half of 1898, no fewer than
thirteen notices of Deaths were re-
ceived in which the respective Policy-hol-
dershad through some cause or causes al
lowed their Policies to lapse, and upon
which, without any action whatever on
their part, their insurance was continued
by the benefcent operation of the Maine
Non-Forfeiture Law. These Policies ag
gregated in amount more than $32, 1000.
One of these cases will suffice to show
the far-reaching scope and liberal char
acter of this law:
