Herdic Suggestions.

10 tne Editor OF Inc Evening Star:
VIII The Star please agitate the subject OF
herdc service in this city? Are the herdics
intended for the convenience of the public:
1 am sick and tired of standing on the street
in the rain (or shine) waiting an intermin-
able length of time for herdic to appear.
When one does come it is so crowded that
the driver does not even stop. Two more
pass in the same condition. By this time
four or five prospective passengers have
Joined me on the corner. The fourth heriic
fails to appear. and We become drenched and
angry. When it does come we all have to
stand, and, of course. 1 am five or ten min
utes late at my office. / had rather rise an
hour earlier and walk twice the distance but
that is not the point If, through indisposi-
ton, or for any other reason, / choose to pay
my fare and ride, have a right to demand
that the convenience shall be convenience.
The travel on the herdics from Z to and
from to o'clock is so great that unless
one livec near the terminus the chances are
that the experience l have related will hold
good, and especially on stormy days. Every
one grumbles. 1 have never yet heard any
one say that the herdics were a convenience
except for their route. If the company had
any business perception it would see that it
is working against its own interests. But
that is not the only consideration, for the
interests of the land owners and real esta tie
dealers in those sections suffer also. Time
and again have l heard house hunters de-
cline to consider the house that was so near
a herdic line as to make them dependent on
herdics for transportation.
If the present hei die company cannot do
business in a businesslike way, it should
give up the attempt and let some one else
try 1t. A few more herdics during the busy
Part of the day and the company would
gain the fares of all those who are forced to
walk. or go out of their way to take a Con-
. necticut avenue or 18th street car.

SUFFERING FROM HARDTlMES
Senator Mitchell Tells What Is the Matter
With the Democratic Party.
No Likelihood That 1t VIII Indorse
Silver Since the Object Lesson
in Kentucky.

"a great deal has been said about the
of BOSSES" said Senator Mitchell of wiscon-
sin to Star reporter. when a man Of
unusually bright mind secures an important
place in his party he is called a boss One
of the characteristics of our government is
that as soon as a man reaches distinction a
thousand forces come into play to pull him
down.
1.-The democratic party is suffering from
the effects of the hard times. Ever since
the panic set in the trend of public opinion
has been away from democracy. 1t was
shown to be so in the elections of last year,
and 1t was emphasized Tuesday. If times
are prosperous and industry continues to
look up and to improve. the democratic
party will receive the benefit Of such i'm
provement.
Has Seen Darker Days.
"But have seen much darker days than
these for the democratic party. 1t looked
pretty bad for the party after the war. when
nearly everything calculated to discredit US
was placed at our door. But there was a
vital principle in the doctrines of democracy
which was destined to make the party great
and which will always make IT important.
There is no likelihood, in my judgment, of
the party indorsing silver The result in
Kentucky will be an object lesson not soon
to be forgotten in that relation. There the
| issue was square and open, and where the
republican candidate indorsing sound money
was elected. The silver issue is a very an
noying one to both republicans and demo-
Gratis. and perhaps is more annoying to the
democrats than to The republicans. 1t CAD
not hope to dominate the party, however"

Here is a letter that explains itself:

J. H. COLLINS,
Proprietor Col. Natural Lithia Water and
Healing Spring. 46o X st. NV, Wash
Dear Sir:
In the month of June last called to
visit a sick friend who had been under the
charge Of n physician for a number Of
weeks. having up 10 that time taken a
great deal of medicine of various kinds.
To my surprise l learned that the physi
clan had advised the d.Scontinuance of the
medlrine-recon meniing the use of your
Columbia Lithia Water instead. l called
az once at your spring to make per-
soril examination Of the water and its
constituent properties us shown by analysis
made by u competent chemist. ! was well
satisfied with the representations made
OF Its merits and at once commenced using
TN water, and have continued using 1t
with very satisfactory results. One of the
chief physical iniirmities of my life has
been the Inheritance OF dull and in
active livcr-perinds of inactIcn and again
an overflow of hillary secretions-resultiny
In sick headaches. Indigestion In many
forms. followed by constipation and irreg-
nlarity of the kidneys. requiring at often
repeated periods the use OF purgative medi-
cine mineral water to restore my sys-
ten TO normal condition. For more than
80 ye-rs l have sought relief in the use
of natural mineral waters. My experience
embraces the use of water from all the
principal springs in New York, Pennsyl-
yan!a. Arkansas, Tennessee. Wisconsin and
Virginia. both at the springs as well as by
shipment Of the water used at my home.
take great pleasure In saying to you
that sirce ] began the of your Lithia
Water and got my system fully under its
Influence l have experienced greater free
dots from occasional sick headaches, indi-
gestion. constipation, inactivity of my liver
and kidneys than | can call to mind for
any similar period of time In 30 years.
Since began the use Of your Lith!a Water
have not been uIder the necessity of u.s.
inr much even one grain of puinine.
give your Lthia Water the entire credit
for the great improvement In my general
health. l thank gracious and kind Provi-
dence for directing my pathway to your
fcllin. spring. / most cheerfully send
You this statement. believing there are
innunerable thousands of men and women
today suffering from inherited infrmities
who Elay find great relief from the use of
your Natural Lithia Water.

No Training of Snakes.

One cannot train or teach a snake to do
anything whatever. Their brain power is
so limited that the marvel is how they
have ever managed to survive In the great
competition, especially when one finds that
they are still ON the descending curve" Of
evolution. Most Of them can be tanned to
some extent by constant human compan-
ionship and judicious handling (somo spe-
oies very much moro readily than others).
When they have learned to trust, to appre-
ciate the fact that there is no necessity for
self defense, then they may be trusted, a
principle which applies to most animals,
and there the scope and possibility of their
education comes to an end.
After that the most that a skillful ex-
hibitor can do with them is to adapt HIM
self and his actions to their movements,
which by familiarity he can pretty nearly
anticipate, so that these may appear pur-
posive and Intelligent. He may affect to
listen to tho serpent's counsels, or receive
its kiss on his lips If it's head inclines in
an upward direction, or to lure it from one
hand to the other, or to guide it to some
given spot, should it by chance glide hori-
zontally or downward, just as the Indian
snake charmer takes deceptive advantage
of the natural defiant attitude of the we'll
nigh ucta1nable cobra da capello.

THE WESTERN FLATBoATMEN.
Not Always Deserving the Reputation That
Was Given Them.

Not Always Deserving the Reputation That
Was Given Them.
General Veile, in defending Abraham
Lincoln from the often published state
mont that he was a flatboa3man in his
young days, seems burdened with the ter
rible fact, as he will have It, that those
bos,tmen were Of low grade as to morals,
drunkards, etc. The general has no right,
in truth, to mako those statements as to
tho character of the flatboatmcn OF the
early days of the river settlements. 1t Is
o gross libel upon tho general character OF
tho early settler. There were drunkards
among the carly settlers the same as now,
but they were not among the boatmcn, for
tho very good reason that they could not
be relied on in time of need in case OF
storms, wind or any other emergency.
The very reverse Of the character which
General Vcilc would give to those boat
men was tho fact. Many prominent farm
ers would send their own produce, several
uniting to fill boat, or merchants and
other men would buy produce, fill boat
end send it down tho river in sober hands.
Christians of all grades, even to tho
preacher, operated hatboats. One preach
or, remember, ran those boats even rs
long as Lincoln is said to have run on ono
and raised family Of boys who nearly all
did tho same running the most of their
lives, while many such boatmen rose from
that humble calling to be steamboatmen
even to captaincies. The late Captain
David, who recently died in Madison, had
his start on fatboat more than so years
ego. This little story about one Of the
best citizens whom Vevay ever had may
show just how near "drunkard" got to
being a flatboatman. George G. Knox
was, first of all, q Methodist and tenn
perance man, and at first a wool carder,
then q steam -four miller, and lastly q
1atboatman, at least SO far az loading
boat at the Vevay wharf. He had no pa
thence with drunkard, but accidentally got
hold of a follow to help him load his boat
who soon developed tho whisky In him so
strongly as to cause tho good man to pull
off his coat, throw it on the ground and
say to it, "Lie there, Methodist, until
thrash tho whisky out Of this fellow"
And as he was large and stout he SO wal
loped the fellow as to sober him, and he
returned to work. There Is the story Of
old Heathcote Picket-of his fatboating
experience before any steamboat aoated
on tho western waters. heard him relate
it in my very early youth, and he lived to
be over 100 years old. He made 16 trips
on flatboats to New Orleans and walked
back every time through tho Indians
country and was always treated kindly by
them. indianapolis journal.

THE STOCKBROkER.

NE IL Americas Single Contribution to the
Callings of the World.
Our single and signal contribution to
the callings of the world has been the
apotheosis Of stockbroker For the last
25 years the we'll to do father and mother
and their sons in our large cities have been
under tho spell of a craze for the brokerage
business. Tho consciousness that the re-
dnements of modern living cannot ade
quately be supplied in a large city to a
family whose income does not approx
mate $40, 600 a year is cogent argument
In favor of trying to grow rich rapidly,
and both the promising young man and
the general utility man welcomed the new
calling with open arms.
Impellod by the notion that here was a
vocation which required no special knowl-
edge or attachments and very little cap
ital, which was pleasant, gentlemanly and
not unduly combining and which promised
large returns almost in the twinkling Of
an eye, hundreds and thousands Of young
men became brokers, chiefly stockbro-
kers, but also cotton brokers, note brokers,
real estate brokers, insurance brokers and
brokers in nearly everything.
The field was undoubtedly rich ono
for those who first entered it. There was
a need for the broker, and he was speedily
recognized as q valuable addition to the
machinery Of trade. Many huge fortunes
were made, and we have learned to asso-
ciate tho word broker with tho possession
of large means, an imposing house on q
fashionable street and diverse docked and
stylish horses. There are stockholders in
all the great capitals of the world, but
nowhere has the vocation swallowed up
the sons of the best people to the extent
that it has done here during the last 80
years. And yet, apart from the opportuni-
ty it affords to grow rich rapidly, what
one good reason is there why promising
young man should decide to, buy and sell
stocks for a living?-Robert Grant in

The dESlIAIlON Ot The HONSE COoI Him ND
LIFE
white rhinocoros once threw the hunter
and his horse clean into the air. Mr.. Os-
wells adventure is thus described in The
Youths Companion:
On his way back to camp one evening
he saw q long horned white rhinoceros
standing close to the path. Dismounting
from his horse fearless and fast animal,
he fired. The shot was too high, and the
wounded beast ran off. The hunter jumped
into the saddle, and passing the rhinoceros
pulled up and fired the second barrel as
the beast went by. It stopped short and
began walking toward the horse and his
rider.
The hunter sat still, SO unexpected was
its "flurry'' and would fall dead. The
horse was as much surprised as his rider
and did not instantly answer the rein. The
hesitation cost him his life, for when he
turned his head round thick bush was
against his chest and prevented him from
getting out of the way of the beast.
The rhinoceros, still walking, drove his
horn in under tho horses flank and fairly
threw both him and his rider into the air.
As the horse turned over Oswell rolled off
and fell under the stirrup iron, which
scalped his head for four inches in length
and breadth.
Scrambling to his knees, Oswell saw
the horn of the rhinoceros actually within
the bend of his log. But the animal way
cred, and with the energy Of self preserva-
ton tho hunter sprang to his feet, intend
ing to run. He tottered, tripped and fell
to the ground within foot Of the animal,
which passed without touching him. A
native rode up with another gun, and o.
we'll pulled him from his pony, mounted,
overlook tho rhinoceros and killed him.
The horse died from his wound.
On another occasion Oswell's dogs had
brought lioness to bay, but the thickness
Of the bush prevented him from seeing
her, though he stood up in his stirrups
Suddenly roar on the horso's right quar-
ter caused him to turn his head. The
ioness was clearing patch of brush not
20 yards off. Jamming the spurs in, the
hunter tried to gallop off, but the ioness
was too close. At tho third bound she sat
up behind him.
Having jumped short, she failed to get
hold with her mouth, but drove her front
claws we'll into the horses quarters and a
hind foot underneath him and SO chung.
The horse, maddoned by fright and pain,
became unmanagcable and ran under q
projecting bough, which swept the rider
from the saddle against the lioness, and
together they rolled to the ground.
The rider was stunned by striking his
head against a stump. The dogs came so
close to the lioness that she hustored ut
being swept from the horses back, turned
to fight with them and took no notice Of
the PROSTATE man. When he came to him
self, he saw indistinctly tho combatants,
fired and wounded q dog The lioness
escaped.

to have been forgotten when the change
was made. His manners are bad, and he
