DANGERS OF DRESS.

How Mon and Women Run Great
Risks During the Summer in the
Way They Are Clothed.
Few people think at this time of the year of
the great Importance of dress.
In the winter people dress warmly because
they know it is necessity, but il the sum-
mer, when it is hot, they go to the other ex-
trerne and even dress too lightly. Hot
weather causes people to use light clothing;
suddenly the wind changes, the air becomes
chilly, and a cold is pretty certain to be the
result
Now where most people make mistake is
not guarding against these sudden changes
quickly and in time. Any man or woman
who has on light suit of clothing, and feels
change which brings a chill, should at once
counteract the chill. This can only be done
by the use of some pure stimulant, not gingers
or hot drinks, but a pure medicinal whisky
that will refresh the system, cause the blood
to circulate, and bring about immediate re-
action. There is but one medicinal WHISKY
that will do this, and that is Duhy's Pure
what has never been known before in counter
acting the first symptoms of sudden colds and
preventing the possibility OF pneumonia,
levers and all the distressing complaints
which follow any cold.
1t should be remembered, however, that
Duffy's Pure Malt is the only whisky which
will certainly accomplish this, and however
much dealers may talk TO the contrary, IL
alone should be taken.

WORSE THAN MARRIAGE.

A bachelor, old and cranky,
Was sitting alone in his room;
His toes with the gout were aching,
And his face was oerspread with gloom.
No little ones shouts disturbed him,
From noises the house was free;
In fact, from the attic to cellar
Was quiet as quiet could be.
No medical aid was lacking;
The servants answered his ring,
respectfully heard his orders,
Andsupplied him with everything.
But still there was something wanting,
something he couldn't command;
The kindly words of compassion,
The touch OF a gentle hand.
And hesaid, as his brow grew darker,
And he rang for the hireling nurse,
"Well, marriage may be a failure.
But this is blamed sight worse"

There are Many Plausible Reasons,
But None are Authoritative.
Below / give five theories OF the origin
of the dollar mark (S), they being selected
from about twenty seemingly plausible
solutions, says writer in the st. Louis
Republic:
/. That it is combination of ~. s."
the initials of the United States.
2. That it is modification OF the figure
8, the dollar being formerly called "a
piece of eight"
3. That it is derived from a representa-
ton of the pillars of Hercules, consisting
of two needle-like towers or pillars con-
nected with scroll The old Spanish
coins marked with the pillar device were
frequently referred TO as pillar dollars" :"
4. That it is combination of III. s., ,"
the ancient Roman mark of money unit.
5. That it is combination of p and S,
from peso duro, slgnifying hard dol
lar" In Spanish account peso is con-
tracted by writing the 5 over the 2 and
placing it after the sum.
According to one writer the symbol of
the dollar is a monogram of the letters

inaily ''thaler," coined in the valley of

MUNICIPAL REFORM.
No Real Need for Extensive Changes
in the Laws.

in the Laws.
There is no real need of extensive
changes in our laws; all that is needed is a
reform in their administration. Ii the
gentlemen who bewail the iniquities of
municipal government would take an ac-
tive part in the selection of officers TO ad-
minister the laws, there would be less
occasion for oratorical condemnation of
city officials. The whole trouble arises
from an almost universal disposition to
shirk one OF the duties OF citizenship. and
is the natural result Of putting almost un-
limited power into the hands OF class OF
men who are generally unprincipled and
utterly irresponsible.
The primary is the cradle of the city
official. Here he draws his first breath
as candidate fol Office The ''primary''
is ostensibly sort of town meeting, at
which all the voters of certain party
in q voting district are supposed to meet
to select delegates TO the nominating
convention, such delegates being "in-
structedp as TO the candidate to be named.
1t is plain, therefore, that the aspirant
who captures the primaries" secures
the nomination. The nomination being
made, the voters are expected 10 step up
and support the man selected, through
the convention, by the ''priunaries.'
The city official, therefore, is child of
the primary" and the primaries" are
controlled, absolutely, by professional
politicians. Ii an ordinary, plain clti-
zen ever attended primary" the fact
has not been recorded. The primary
Is frequently an informal assembly, con-
sisting of table and a few chairs,
black bottle and box OF cigars, The
ward boss and few of his cronies. Out
siders would not find it very congenial
if they came, so they stay away. This is
the genesis of the average city official.
The citizen thinks he need not bother
with the primary" because he will have
a chance to rebuke an unworthy nomi-
nation at the polls, but he seldom
does it. Occasionally there occurs
spasm of virtuous indignation that PEN
etrates even the primaries" and a
really reputable citizen becomes the reg
ular nominee; rarely does he withstand
the pressure OF the party machine for
more than few short weeks. Ills sup
porters have delivered the goods and
want their pay-and they get it..
The only way to effect municipal re-
form is to strike at the root Of the
trouble, down in the noisome atmos-
phere of the primary" When men of
honor and integrity, of force and infiu-
ence, dominate the primaries" and dig
nifty the exercise of the most potent po-
litical force, there may be some hope OF
reform in municipal government. and,
after that a purer ballot in the State
and National eleetions-not before. "Ihe
laborer is worthy OF his hire" and while
the FOUNDERS and heelers and spoilsmen
do the work they will expect and receive

Joachims." A writer in giving bis opin-
ion of Reason No. 80 as given above,
says:
1.-The American symbol for dollar is
taken from the Spanish dollar, and the
looked for in associations of Spanish
coins. On the reverse of the Spanish
dollar is a representation of the pillars OF
Hercules, and around each pillar is a
scroll with the inscription plus ultra.

generated into the sign which at present
stands for American as we'll as Spanish

peared. Even if promptness
and obedience are secured while the boys
are playing Sunday-school soldiers. it is
an artificial growth. 1t would be far bet
ter were they taught self-reliance and
self-control in some other way. The idea
OF developing an esprit de corps in the
Sunday-sehool is excellent, but why
combine the military idea with it? Then
why anything that shall be exclusively
for boys? Should not the religious life
be developed in girls as well? ANY
church or Sunday school method that
makes artificial distinction between bows
and girls is faulty. . Ii the de-
tense of our country, in the case of possi-
bic war, rests with the boys who are now
growing up, then let them have drill in
the public school as part OF their gym
nastie exercises, Military or
ganizations of this kind may be looked
on as necessary in this stage of ciyiliza-
ton, but let us think twice before adopt
ing them as a device for bringing young
people into religious and spiritual life."
"One of our earliest recollections of
New York is sof the great anniversaries
OF our religious societies." remarks the
New York EUdqageIiSt (Pres.) every
year, in this beautiful month of May, the
people came from far and near, not only
from up the Hudson and the interior of
the State, but from New England, as of
old the tribes went up to Jerusalem. The
old Broadway Tabernacle, the largest
place of assembly in the city, could not
hold the crowds that gathered to hear the
thrilling reports of missionaries from the
ends of the earth. Where are
those assent blies now? Where are the
speakers? and where are the hearers?
The old anniversaries have ceased to eX-
ist, and what is now called an 'anniver-
sary' is but the shadow of all that former
greatness. AS an Illustration, look at the
meeting Of the Tract Society last week.
Where was it held? In some vast inclo-
sure like the old broadway Tabernacle?
1t was not even in church, but in a
lecture-room, and that not a quarter filled.
= We refer to this, not to make d
point against one society more than 9TH
ers, but to remark a general decline in
the interest of such occasions, which is
too important to be overlooked. Tell us,
ye wise men of the church, what is the
explanation of this falling off in zeal IN
the things of the Kingdom?' Have the
fires ceased to burn on The affairs? Ii so,
who shall rekindle them?"

which is said 10 give the latest evidence
collected in favor of the prisoner. The
baroness asks for the assistance of the
press in behalf of Mrs. May The
baroness says she understands the re-
fusal of the home office to reopen the
May brick case is due TO the fact that
the officers are in possession of secret
adverse evidence, but she adds she ls
certain that if she WAS informed OF the
nature of this evidence she would be
able to refuts it.
Baroness Roquez says she is confident
that her daughter could give her much
assistance if she was allowed to con-
verse freely with the prisoner. This
private evidence, however, is denied her.
The pamphlet contains an affidavit
dated February 8, 1894, setting forth
that the prescription which the baroness
found in Bible formerly poss essed by

scription includes arsenic, is identical

rouBdlngs.

New YORK, May 29-Authorities OF
Jamaica, L. L., are investigating case
of cruelty OF which the annals of Long
leland appear to hold no equal.
ALI through the winter a woman was
connned in cabin of a disused scow
which stands in the mud at the edge oi
Jamaica bay. She bad little to wear,
little to eat and no fire. There was no
bed on which the woman could rest.
The cabin was in almost perpetual dark
ness, and the sudden glare of the sun,
when the unfortunate was taken out,
almost blinded her. She is bodily and
mentally affected, and is now in the
Emergency hospital in Jamaica, and her
husband is being sought by the authori-
ties.
The case was brought to the attention
of the deputy sheriff. Mr.. Sebastian
Hestach, and he started at once to nves-
tigate. Hhe story was that the woman
was confined in q scow in Goose creek,
near 1.-The Stumps," in the bay. The
place is occupied by fishermen of the
lower class. In one of the novels lives
Paul Kemn. He is a fisherman AZ years
old. His home is dark, but still as good
as any OF those in the vicinity. There
Kemn lived with his five children, all
girls The eldest is Is years old and is
married. Kemn made living by fish
ing, and was away from home most Of
the time.
Deputy Hestach went to the house,
broke in the cabin door and stepped in
side. He discovered the woman lying
on pile of damp rags in the corner.
She was almost naked. The rags on
which she lay were damp where the
water had soaked through the bottom of
the boat.
Hestach procured help and had the
woman carried from the cabin. She
was hurried to the hospital, and was too
weak upon arriving to permit thorough
examination. The condition OF her body
was beyond description. To all appear
ances the woman was black when she
entered the hospital, not having washed
for long time. An application of warm
water and soap resulted in showing that
her original color was white. but the
filth had so worked into the skin that it
was impossible to get it all out.
The woman became insane two years
ago Duiing her illness she had never
once had the benefit of DOCTORS atten-
tion. She WAS put into the cabin about
six months ago and remained there all
through the winter. She was fed twice
a day, and was provided with nothing to
drink except what WAS carried to her
with meals. She is 35 years old. Tue
eldest daughter is about half that age.
The other girls are ID. 8, 6 and 3 years OF
age, respectively.
Overseer of the Poor Wyckoff took
charge of the children. 1t WAS necessars
to procure covered wagon to transfer
the girls, as they had on littls clothing.
A warrant was sworn out for Kemn, but
up to late last evening 1t had not been
served.
The officers charged with arresting
him waited until dark for him. 1t is
thought he learned of the rescue OF his
wife and fed.
