 The American feels warranted in saying that the school ticket nominated by the democrats Is .'an insult to the good stnse and a threat to the peace of generous community, which ought to be rebuked by defeat"
 Judge CowelI. tine republican member of the present board, who wrote the annual report says that the ''R"v J. 4. Mulcahy has made an admirable presiding officer and under his tactful management the ses- sions of the board have been pleasant and harmonious. It has been a long time since there was so little friction in the direction Of the schools. The members of the board without exception have been earnest aRd jealous in the performance of their several duties.'
 If the utterance of the American is not 4 P. A'ism what is it: Time and again during the past year the respected chair man and members of the board have been commended by our contemporary. while the members of the district committee have been charged with nothing more serious than the judicious management of the finances. The fact that the nominees ol the democratic school ticket are Catho- lies is more than the American can grace fully accept. hence the sectsrian issue raised.
 No one will say that the Catholic msm- b rs of the board of education and district committee have not always acted in their official capacity as good American citi- z-ns- The question of religion has never Ina l q place in the doings. Then why should this issue be raised year after year

SENATOR HILL is just the sort of man who makes strong friends and bitter ene- mics in his own party. but the bitterest of his enemies will concede that he S a wonderful hold on the democratic voters of New York, which he has demonstrated time and time again. Circumstances hav- ing made it necesssry-that the democratic candidate for governor of New York should be man who could bring out the full demacratic vote of the state. which is always a majority. 1t logically followed that Senator Hill was that man. For that reason democrats, whether they be his friends or his enemies. were pleased with Senator Hills nomination and are confi- dent that he will be elected. He has never been defeated by the voters of New York and he will not be this year. There is much disappointment over Senator Hills nomination. but it is confined to the republicans who were not counting upon such a formidable antagonist.

SUPPOSE the Japanese do march on Peking. what then? Judging by their sue cess in Corea they would be able to cap ture the capital and subdue the Celestial empire. But would the other nations of the world be content to see the balance of power in the east thus rudely upset. Would Russia with her Siberia and Eng land with her India be entirely willing thus to give half continent to one power? It is not probable. and the mimic war may develop into A first class one before it is over if the Japanese do march upon Peking.

THE FANMAKER.

Spanglcs wax rather than wane. There are flow fans that do not sparkle in their light.
 Tho latest novelty in fans has the outer sticks gradually and definitely widening and elaboratcly carved.
 In the cheaper priced fans of ostrich feathers the lack of length and abundance of the filaments arc counteracted by mark ed crispncss at the edges.
 Fans from the two great centers of France and Austria thus early in the sea- son disclose smaller proportions. The fans of last season ran from 12 to 15 inches.
 The most expensive fans are still of os- trich feathers. These are larger than tho fans of gauge and silk and superbly mount cd on sticks of pearl and ivory. An extra rurl is given to the feathers cdges.-Jew- tlers' Circular

THE DOCTOR.

An English surgeon says that people who uso rocking chairs become deaf tho soonest, and that rocking also hurts the eyes and makes people ncarsightcd.
 An eminent medical authority asserts that n sudden immersion of tho body in cold water soon after meals Is extremely dangerous. It chills the digestive organs and arrests digestion.
 Pale, pink or colOrless lips, blue circles under the eyes and cold. dry hands and feet are evidences of derangcd and weakened system and call for the prompt attention of n nurse or physician.
 Fiery condiments, like horse radish, rcd pcppcrcd sauces, capers, prepared mustards and green peppers, should be avoided or used in very small quantities, as they over heat the mouth and exhaust the salivary system.
