THE LONDON TIMES

Comments on the Defeats of the Demo
cratic Party at the Next General Elec-
ton.
PHILADELPHIA correspondent of the
London Times predicts democratic defeat
at the next presidential election Com
menting upon this prediction, the "Thun-
derer says, editorially: g" If this be true,
we must look for startling disclosures to
beat the record of the preceding admins
traton. The democrats have shown de-
plorable vacilation in dealing with the
tariff and silver but we should have sup
posed that it needed much more than this to
wipe out the memory of the tremendous re-
publican fascO. If there be reason to APP
prehend something worse from the contin-
uance in power of the democrats the situa-
ton must indeed be gloomy Whether Mr..
Cleveland yield to pressure and keep the
party together by giving sop to the silver
men in connection with the seigniorage
bill, or whether he veto the bill, the demo-
Gratis can hardly escape injury. The I'M
certainty OF the entire situation is danger
which must retard the improvement of
business in the states"

story told by Miss Lewis of how her own
life has been saved amply repaid the visit
ors for their journey.
Lime Rock lighthouse, the home of this
world.famous heroine, is within the harbor
and is short sail from the New York yacht
clubs house. Al high tide an ordinary cat
rugged sail boat cannot land at Lime Rock
and row boat must be used, from which a
landing is effected by climbing up the face
of the perpendicular rock upon ladder
dashed with letters of iron to the stone
AT low tide the row boat is guided toward
a pebbly beach through the sword grass
that cuts against its sides like slashing

mariners. And the fair woman to whom
the visitors listened told true narrative
for every other brave and good woman in
the country-a narrative for every woman
in the country to heed and profit by.
Ida Lewis looks to be in her thirties as to
age, with highly nervous temperament,
slight figure, bright eyes, with a dash of
color in her face.
1T is thirty years since we came to
Lime Rock, six in family, and now there
are but two of us left my brother Rudolph,

monial of her skill, courage and humanity,
in rescuing two men in the harbor of New
port, r. l., during severe storm"
Not only on these several special occa-
sions, however has Miss Lewis shown the
courage and fortitude that have made her
famous, but also in the faithfulness and
regularity with which her daily round of
duties are performed, for they are not few.
No lighthouse on the coast is better kept
than hers, and not one has better record.
People think, when they come and find
things in perfect order, that there is moth
ing to do here" she said. " But they do not
know how early we start in the morning
and how many little things there are to be
done. The lamps have to be cleaned every
day, the lenses kept clean, and the brasses
polished, to say nothing of keeping the
house in order"
Not alone are the brasses polished" on
the light, but the shining copper pump in
sticks on the mantel behind the stove all
testify to the success and industry OF the
thrifty champion of life and strength.
Ida Lewis is called the bravest woman
in America. But there are many brave
women who have suffered as she has done,
who are nearly broken down, who need to-
day true food for the brain and nerves, and
whom Paine's celery compound will make
well again., Thousands of other women
have been saved by this wonderful remedy

THE Mississippi river at Memphis, last
week, presented the appearance Of vast
inland sea. The steady downpour Of rain
for several days had flooded the whole
country. The damage was many hundreds

were the greatest sufferers and it will be
several days before the breaks can be re-
paired. Over fifty miles Of iron and track
were under water at different points. Dis.
patches from points along White river say
that the stream flooded the lowlands and
compelled the inhabitants to flee to the hills.
The Francis river was also on the rampage
and great damage was done along its banks.

BOMB EXPLODED

In a Church in France Twenty Persons
Injured-A Panic Created.
A PANIC was created in church at Gal
lieu, France, last week Wednesday, by the
explosion of bomb which had been placed
just inside the main entrance to the church.
The explosion occurred about four o'clock,
while the congregation was leaving the
building. Twenty persons were injured
some Of them, it is feared, mortally. The
bomb was filled with gunpowder, had a
long fuse attached to it, and when it ex-
ploded the whole church was filed with a
dense cloud of smoke. The panic created
among the worshipers was terrible. En-
masse they rushed toward the doors, shrek
ing and throwing the weaker ones down and
trampling upon their PROSTATE bodies. The
greater number of those injured were
women and children and aged persons.

In a certain part of West Virginia

In a certain part of West Virginia
some years ago there was a local
court presided over by an honest old
farmer, who in his earlier years had
been an attorney at law. The Judge
was quick tempered, impatient man,
but by no means ungenerous, and
possessed of a keen sense of humor.
One day while on the bench he saw
in the audience an old negro whom
he had engaged to haul some timber
from his saw-miIl near by, but who
had been afterward persuaded to do
the same kind of labor for another
person, to the neglect of the Judicial
ry. AS soon as he caught sight of his
recreant toiler, the judge suspended
the trial, quilted the wool-sack, and
approaching the old African said, with
great indignation and a very red face:
"You old rascal! Why didn't you
haul timber for me, as you promised
to do? You'll have to be taught a les
son!'
The old negro gave one look at the
indignant Judge; then he squared off
and throwing his coat to bysUander
said, cheerfully:
"Come on, massa! Dis ole chile use
to spank yo's trif1in' boy, an reck-
on he can do it again if it's necessit-
ous!"
The Judges motion was overruled
on that occasion,as the court resound-
ed with merriment, in which he was
obliged to join.
