OUT OF AFRICA.
American Explorer Sends Word OF
His Ccp

EsAltioI'E VI "ofo VI
His Success.
Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. GA cablegran,
was received IN this city from DR.. Donald
son Smith, dated Alden, bearing the word
Successful" This news establishes the
safety of the plucky Philadelphia who
for the past year and a half has been eX-
ploring the wilds of eastern Africa, and
at the same time puts an end to the doup.
as to his safety which had been felt by
those interested in the expedition Of the
past few months.
Dr.. Smith entered Africa on the east
ern coast a year ago last June to push
across the country OF the Gallreas and
Massaito, two lakes, which had been re-
Gently discovered by another expedition.
thence on to the two Nyanzas (Albert and
Nictoria), his object being to
carry out and complete the
line of exploration from the
lakes TO the east coast, a distance OF sew
eral hundred miles. DR.. Smith was ac-
c~ompanied by about $50 Africans, and at
first by an Englishman who was subse-
quently obliged to return to London. DR..
Smith sent back some fine specimens of
the regions flora after he had been on his
expedition a few months, for the Geo
graphical society of London, and some
months later was reported to he pushing
on by another party whom he met. Aside
from these evidences of his safety there
nav been none until the arrival of his
cablegram.
AS the region which d.. Smith has
traversed is at the present time represent
ed by a blank space on the map OF Africa
the significance OF the explorers brief
message will be realized Immediately. He
has undoubtedly made many discoveries
OF much value.

HOLMAN HASN'T CHANGED.
The Ex-Watch Dog OF the Treasury

giant.
Washington, Nov. 6.-Ex-Congress-
man Holman of Indiana-it is his hrst
appearance on tine "ex list In many
years-is in Washington. Although out
OF office. his intcrcs. IN public affairs
still keeps up. and his voice. as OF yore'
Is still for economy.
In conversation with a correspondent
he said:
1--WE are spending too much money!
great deal too much money. We have
beer doing 30 now for some years. The
figures were raised out of all reason by
the Fifty-first congress-. and they have
been kept high ever since. What the
coming congress will do there are, or
course, nc means of telling. Presum-
ably the appropriations Will again be
large"
1t was suggested that Senator Quay
had already put out an ambitious
scheme, calling for a large sum for nv
ers and harbors alone.

l am not surprised to see II. That, for a
long time, has been a favorite channel
for spending the public money. one
year recently, you will remember, the
amount reached the enormous figure or
500, 600, 900. But sooner or later the thing
Il stop. 1t is not justified at all.
There Is really no justification for using
$500. 600, 900 per annum for the support
OF his government; $3.50, 0o0, 900, at the
outside. ought to be made TO answer
any legitimate purpose. and could be
made to do II congress would take hold
OF the matter in the proper spirit"

"What Is the general outlook for the

1T is encouraging. The times are I'M
proving, and bound TO improve. A great
country like ours cannot be kept down
for any long time. OF course we should
meet the upward tendency with wise
legislation. Not only should we stop
our extravagant expenditures, but we
should give very careful attention to
our currency question. That is a very
great question, and Is likely 20 give both
parties trouble next year"
as there any third term talk in Indi-

Judge Holman looked amused. "No.

that there is any serious talk Of that
kind anywhere. Surely the democratic
party will have enough on Its hands
next year without taking that up"

Years of waiting rolled away,

Turned to wine In Cana's hall
At the touch OF love incarnate.

Where the holy city stands.

Campbell Buried in Ohio.

Columbus. o., Nov. 6.-Later election
returns today do NOT materially change
the result in Ohio. With two senatorial
districts and one county in doubt, the
republicans have SO representatives and
% senators out Of 112 representatives
and 81 senators. The plurality for
Bushnell, rep. for governor. will be be-
tween 1000 and 100, 900. 1t is generally
conceded that the result has placed
Governor Mckinley on solid ground in
Ohio for support for the presidency next
year.
The state Of Ohio will now have two
republican senators at the same time,
which has not happened before since the
war, except for a brief space from 1865
to 1869. when : m Wade and John Sher-
man held seats together in the upper
branch Of congress.

The SOul In sorrow.

DR.. Robert Nicoll.
OF all trouble IL is perhaps true that It
is best wen for ourselves not to speak
much Of II. This Is so true Of the greater
gricfS that an almost certain gauge Of
the depth to which pain has sunk is the
measure Of its repression. The more real
the pain the greater is the anxiety the
world should ignore 1t. Only inexperi-
enced sufferers are voluble. Those ia
miliar with the secrets of anguish are
silent. They do their best to hide from
the outer world the consciousness, the
memory and the expectation Of their
suffering. They make much Of allevia-
tons, and eagerly welcome whatever
soothes and distracts. They know that
expression reacts upon emotion and
makes the burden heavier. This Is even
truer about lesser sorrows. The morti-
fications OF wounded vanity make a
more or less appreciable element in the
discipline Of life. and they are always
intensified by being proclaimed. Even
while he suffers one may doubt whether
there is any just cause for pain, and the
memory of the slight OF disappointment
fades away If Ii is not cherished. Once
tell 1t, and 1T becomes objective, with an
independent existence-a living minis
ter OF misery.

0fman Is DGwned.

baltimore, Nov. 5.-There seems to be
no reason to doubt that the republicans
have elected their entire state and city
ticket and that they VIII have a working
majority in the next legislature, which
will choose a successor to United States
Senator Gibson. Even Howard county,
the home OF Senator German, has appar-
emily reversed It's normal democratic
majority of 500 and gives Lowndes, re-
publican. for governor, a majority of at
least that number OF votes. Baltimore
city goes for the republican ticket. both
state and municipal. by majorities rang
Ing from 5000 to 5000, and both branches
Of the city council will probably be re-
publican for the first time in many
years. In fact there Is not a leg left for
the party to stand on In what has long
been considered one OF the safest demo-
cratic states in the union.

A Pennsylvania Man Who Takes a
Six Weeks Nan.

Shamokin, Pa, Nov. 6.-Amos j. Man
ming of Mt. Carmel, awoke Saturday
morning from a sleep that lasted almost
continuously during the past six weeks.
He is very much awake at the present
time, but Is apt TO go into dreamland
again at any moment, as he has been af-
fected with a lethargic malady during
the past eleven years to such an extent
that he frequently spends our fifths Of
his time in slumber.
AS his mother is a widow without any
means Of support other than her ability
to work, she has decided that she can
not provide for the sufferer any longer,
and they are now trying to decide
where he had better be placed. Man
ming is now 81 years of age, and usually
finds employment around the mines
when he is 10 in his sleeping spells.
The trouble was first noticed about
eleven years ago. when he began sleep
ing hours over the time usually allowed
for the recuperation OF the mind and
body. His slumbers gradually grew
upon him with years, and his family
and friends no longer express surprise
when he remains in a comatose condi-
ton for weeks at a time. Owing to the

he says that the time passed in slumber
has been blank to him. His general

A local physician thinks that Man
