The Shakers have made discovery
which is destined to accomplish much
good. Realzi g that three-fourths of
all our suffelings arise from stomach
troubles, that the country is literally
filled with people who cannot eat and
digest 70 ID, without subsequently suf-
fering pain and distress, and that many
are starving, wasting to mere skeletons,
because their food does them no good,
they have devoted much study and
thought to the subject, and the result
is this discovery, of their Digestive
Cordial.
A little book can be obtained from
your druggist that will point out the
way of relief at once. An investigation
will cost nothing and will result in
much good.
Children all hate to take Castor Oil
but not Laxol, which is palatable.

or an unmanly cowardice. By the time he
had said SO much, the bishop was warmed
UP. and as there were no Interruptions
from his hearers, he proceeded In his Wig
orous way to say what he unquestionably
believed-for he Is ever sincere-as fol-
lows:
Il believe that God will yet save this
state and nation from the aggravated mis-
cries of an enlarged. unqualified suffrage,
which, in its universally of male voters, is
our most threatening danger today. But
II we are TO be visited with this inflict ton,
as a well-earned punishment for many
national sins, then 1 believe that, when
We have tasted its bitterness We shall be
brought back, perhaps through anarchy
and revolution, to a democracy which shall
demand for Ats existence government by
men whom education and actual American
ism of fnal interest in the nation qualify
to govern. Meanwhile, when constitutions
shall have been altered to disturb the
equipoise of the relation between man and
woman: when motherhood shall be replaced
by mtsmanaged offices; when money shall
buy the votes of women, as 1t does now
thems elves; when tie fires Of political dis
cord shall be lighted on the hearthstone of
domestic peace: when the assertion of de-
manded right shall have destroyed the IN
stnctive chivalry of conceded courtesies:
when woman as has been we'll said, once
the superior. has become the equal of
man, then the reaped whirlwind Of some
violent political reaction will be gathered
In tears by those who are sowing the wind
In the mad joy Of the Petroleuse of the
French revolutions. Never in any ages,
nowhere in any land and nowhere In Amer
lea so much es now in our own empire
state was there such absolute unreason for
the clamor which seeks to distract women
from the duties of the vocation to which
they are Called in the mad pursuit of the
greatest wrong that can be done to their
sex, their country and mankind. The man
who is set in public place today to train
some CT the women of America for their
vocation may rot in times like these with
hold his voice of warning against the
dangers and delusion of the hour"
If this country ever does get into any
such trouble as the good bishop insists 1t
will, the moving cause of the conditions
he SO darkly portrays will not be woman.
Americas homes Will never be endangered
by such extension of the franchise as
women demand. 1t Is recognized that
wherever woman has been permitted active
participation in political life she has
worked improvement in her surroundings
Nc one questions Bishop Doane's honesty
of belief in this matter, but that he is
much too severe will be admitted by a
great many people who are by no means
favoraDly inclined toward wonan suffrage.

Tonight the Civil Service Reform Associa-

Tonight the Civil Service Reform Associa-
tion of the District of Columbia will hold
its annual meeting. Called into existence
by conditions that concerned all citizens
who were and still are anxious that the
municipal government of the national capi-
tai should be as efficient as it possibly can
be, the association has done a great deal
of valuable missionary work, for some of
which it will be praised; great deal of
the eXertion has not been of the public sort
that wins applause A rather remarkable
state of affairs and suddenly developed
weakness in the civil service law operated
to obstruct the endeavors of the association
as to application of civil service rules to
employees of the District Government. Fully
informed as to the difficulties that lie in
the way, the association may now plan a
campaign against the spoils system and get
ready to make the fight before Congress
which for awhile it was believed would not
be necessary. The associa ton is one which
should be heartily supported by the over
whelmingly large proportion of residents
who believe that politics and municipal
government should not even distanuy be
related to each other. Washington is very
much better off in this respect than any
other city in the country, but 1T is still
considerably below the altitude of a reason
able ideal Blessed with the sincere and
efficient services of a number of unques-
touably honest and capable officials, there

The Right Reverend William CroswtI!
Doane. Episcopal bishop of Albany, is in
the hottest sort of water Just now. No one
put him there; he got in himself and he
did 1t In his speech at the closing exer-
clses of young women's school at the
New York state capital. 1t IS customary
on such occasions to say all manner Of
pleasant things about the dear girls and
their prospects. but Bishop Doare had
evidently coma to the conclusion that his
opportunity to address such an aggregation
of young womanhood ought not to be
neglected. Therefore he informed his as
ton!shed audience that he was sick and
tired Of the way In which the talk of wo-
mans vocation fills the air, not merely in
tho wild vagaries of its blatant assump-
tions, but In the parade and push of It's
claims for recognition Of what are called
Its rights" The bishop declares boldly
that those who agitate for ats rights are
In the minority, and that the numberless
names on these modern 'millenary petit
tons mean only the thoughtless and good
natured yielding to persistent pursuit, just
as legislative majority votes stand. in not

Attention was called in the news columns
of The Star a day or SO ago to the bad con-
dition of the public parks OF the city with
respect to their illumination. This matter
has been repeatedly urged upon the notice
of Congress, but little has been done by
that body to relieve Col. Wilson from his
predicament which is a serious one. He
has recommended again and again that
more money be appropriated for the pur-
pose of electrically lighting the large parks,
especially the Smithsonian, which is too
great in extent 10 be Illuminated. except at
4 considerable increase over the present
plant. This matter is one Of great iraport-
ance for under existing circumstances the
parks become places OF danger rather than
of comfort and convenience after dark
Were they properly lighted and guarded
there would be every reason why the we'll
behaved people of the community should
Use them for their legitimate purpose, that
of rest and comfort, while as it is the reser-
vations are crowded after nightfal with
Objectionable characters, who regard the
parks as places of low entertainment and
whero forms of amusement are INDUCED
in that would be severely punished
If detected. Some of the parks too
afford convenient and tempting places
for highway robbery Oh dark nights This
Is not as it should be in a city of over a.
quarter of million Inhabitants and the
capital of the nation at that 1t is 4 source
of shame to the citizens, and it Is, a pity
that the evident proprietics of the s;tua ton
should not long ago have forced themselves
upon the minds of the legislators Col.
Wilson does Well not to nag in his effort t1
secure a more liberal Illuminating appro-
prfation. and the hops is that some day
success will be attained

A great deal of sympathy is being wasted
upon Mr.. w. f. Pugh, who was yesterday
made auditor for the Navy Department.
MIR. Pugh is ex-comm,ssioner of customs
and superintendent of the income tax.
1t remains to be seen whether he adds
any more "exs" after his name. He Is
being p.t.ed just now by some people as
man who has been knocked about from pill
lar to post. having been leg.slated out Of
two Offices in succession through no fault
of his own. But Mr.. Ptsgh is rather an
object of congratulat.on than of commits
seration. He has landed on his feet every
time. No sooner has office been
snatched away from him by the ruthless
hand of tine law, which knows no persons,
than another has opened itself for him to
be suugly installed anew. Mr.. Pugh was evil
IDENTIFY born under lucky star. Otherwise
1t is doubtful IL when Mr. Dockery's bill
wiped him out OF existence Congress would
have provided for the peculiar and alto
8ether new position of superintendent Of
the income tax. Were 1t not for this favor
able combination OF astrological antece-
dents Mr.. Morton might not have taken to
indiscreet letter writing to the jeopardy Of
his official head auditor for the Navy
Department just in the very nick of time
to keep Mr.. Pugh from losing a days pay
after having been gouged out of office by
the Supreme Court. There Is only one
other branch of the government that can
disturb Mr.. Pugh now. The Legislative and
the judicial branches have had shy at his
head and have made bull's-eyeS each time.
1t is not at all probable that the executive
will do the same. for II would seem as
though Mr.. Pugh stands-with every ap-
parent good reason-in the highest esteem
&I,
President. Whatever success Mr. Pugn
may achieve as auditor he will certainly
retire from the public service, if he ever
does go out, with a wider experience and
more civil titles than any other man known
to modern history. Things have turned
up for him In a fashion to have made Mr..
Micawber burst with envy.

Yesterday afternoon a general alarm
was turned in at the fire department,
bringing the new chemical engine to
the scene in GA seconds, and No. Is
with a stream of water in 1-2 minutes
No came out but could not get
water until the fun was all over. The
fire was located in the old shack back
Of Foard & Stokes used in the chem>
lcal engine test the night before. The
fire was put out by the chemical in
less than seven seconds after the
stream was turned on. AS the hook
and ladder truck went to make the
turn from Commercial street at Foard
& Stokes corner. the wheel of the
truck slid on the car track, preventing
the truck from turning until tOo late
The horses were going at a terrific
speed, and before they could be stopped
dashed against the railing on the op.
posite corner, and bringing the truck
almost on top of them. Strange to say,
neither of the animals was hurt,
though one of them came against the
railing with awful force
