disease.
When We visit factory where there
are the most delicate and most danger
pus machines, we are amazed to notice
how Indifferent the workmen are to
the danger about them. Saws and
knives work rapidly, and yet no one
seems to think of danger. Long assoc
citation with danger causes indifference
to It.
If tho statement were made that
there was contagious disease abroad
in tho land which was killing people
at the rate Of 5000 a day In Europe,
thirty day in New York State, and
nearly 100, 900 In one year in the Uni
ted States, every one would be aroused
to action. Yet such condition exists
to-day. Consumption is contagious
disease, and the above figures concern.
ing it are taken from recent reports.
But we have become no familiar with
the disease in our midst, that we do
not fully understand its terrible na-
ture.
Yet It is surprising how many re-
cover from this disease. Even after
the germs Of consumption cause seri-
GUS damage TO the lungs, thousands
recover. AS yet, no specific is known
for tho disease. The treatment con-
sists In giving aid to the body In its
effofts to destroy the disease germs.
For two centuries, cod-liver oil has
occupied the frst place In the list of
remedies. The next valuable remedies
are tho hypophosphites. Some rely on
enc alone, but a. both are recognized
as Of great value, we think it best to
combine them. Thus you are sure
Of getting every help which the best
remedies known to medical science
can afford. In SCOTS Emulsion OF
Csd-liver Oil with Hypophosphites, the
| oil is emulsified, that is the oil is
broken up into minute globules OF fat.
The oil IL digssted and thus saves the
weakened body from doing this work.
What will Scott's Emulsion do for
those with weak lungs?
If taken before the germs of con-
sumption have secured foothold in
the lungs, it will so invigorate and
nourish the body that the disease will
be successfully resisted. In this way
1t prevents consumption. Even after
the lungs are diseased, the body ema
ciated, and the health greatly affected
it will often enable the system to come

states IL is made legal holiday, and
parents and teachers Id the public
schools are recommended by official
proclamation to encourage children to
plant Mt least one forest shade tree on
public highway, or at their home or
schoolhouse. The conviction is grow
ing that the rapid denudation of the
forests is the occasion Of the prolonged
droughts which are Of periodical re-
currence throughout the land, and that
the lowering OF the levels of the great
lakes may be attributed to the same
cause. The proceedings Of the forestry
commission of the Empire states re-

established in. the heart of the Adiron-

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, July 14.-For
the first time in nearly 100years the names
of the Democratic candidates for Presi-
dent and Vice President do not appear at
the head of the columns of the News
Press. The paper is one of the Oldest in
the State and has always been Demo-
cratic. The failure to hoist the names of
the candidates is all the more remarka BILE
because the editor and owner of the News
Press is James w. Hinkley, chairman of
the State Democratic Convention. He ar
rived home from Chicago on Saturday
When asked as to the probable course OF
his paper, he remarked that no electors
had yet been chosen by Democratic con-
yention in New York State and there need
be no hurry. He advised Democrats TO be
patient and abide events. Mr.. Hinkley
denies empnatically the story that Sen
ator Hill has espoused the cause he $50

reopen headquarters tomorrow in the
Palmer House and the executive commit
tee does not doubt that there will be
enough favorable responses to the mani
festo issued last night to guarantee new
National Convention, fairly representative
of the country, before the end OF Septem-
Der.
Chairman Robbing admitted that he had
not received any additional kilograms to-
day from prominent Democrats Offering to
support the third ticket proposition, but
the assurances he had received led him TO
expect delegations from Eastern and
Southern States, even if the party ma
chinery of the States was opposed 10 the
plan on the supposition that two Demo
crstlc tickets would mean the election OF
Mckinley.
In the face of the hopeful assertions of
the gold leaders there were to-day more
prominent assertions to the silver ranks
among local Democrats of influence.
Lawrence p. Boyle, who was leader in
the gold movement from the beginning,
said:
1.-THE gold-standard Democrats of Illinois
will not follow the lead OF men who want
to put ticket In the field simply to help
the election of Mckinley"
The report was circulated to-day at the
Palmer House that the Bryan notification
committee was in communication with
Senator Hill with a view to inducing him
to accept the craftsmanship of the notihca-
ton meeting In Madison-square Garden.

knell of the third-ticket scheme.
1t is generally believed at State Repub-
lican headquarters that the National Com
mittee, at its meeting in Cleveland this
week, will locate branch headquarters IN
Chicago and place National Committee
man Jameson in charge of the Western
campaign. This would be taken as a
recogn ition of the claim that Illinois is to
be the royal battle ground of the cam
paign. The members of the Republican
State Committee are aroused to action by
the silver excitement caused by Bryan in
Illinois and a meeting of the committee
is to be held tomorrow.

GRAND ISLAND, NEBR., July 14.-Up
to this evening the advance guard to the
Populist Convention made a scarcely loud
enough noise to attract attention. The
evening trains swelIed the number until
there are about 200 delegates now IN the
city. Night trains are expected to bring
in delegations from eastern counties and
Chairman Edgerton is confident of a large
convention.
The only question which meets with
much discussion is what dimensions the
fight of the middle of-the- road men against
instructing the st. Louis delegates for
Bryan will be. 1t seems that Bryan in
structions will easily carry. AT the Hast
ings convention Holcomb will be nomi-
mated for Governor and after Bryan is NOM
mated at st. Louis the Democrats will be
expected to support holcomb and the
State ticket.
Paul Vandervoort, Barr and others from
Omaha are working for an independent
ticket, and their forces are expected to be
multiplied tonight, but their advances
are met by charges that they are boodlers,
Republican hirelings, etc. The Bryan
men feel that they will carry the conven-
ton four to one, or practically unani-
mously. Senator Allen arrived this after
noon and is making addresses tonight on
thu streets. Governor Holcomb and Mr..
Allen are expected to head the delegation

EVANSVILLE, OHIO. July I4.-John

District of Ohio. talked freely yesterday of
the political outlook. McGrath is one of
tho prominent labor men of the State,
who travels extensively and mingles
among the sons of toll. He said:
81 find 16 to 1 laboring men WHO are
thoroughly dissatisfied with the Repub-
lican and Democratic parties, and who
will vote for the Democratic ticket this
fall simply because they regard the situa-
tion SO changed that it is now the masses
against the classes.
1.-THE Republican campaign managers
will be surprised at the silver sentiment
in this State among the working people.
1t is, as | said, sixteen whom find for it
against one against it, and if there is no
change in the situation, Bryan will come
very close to carrying Ohio.
There are $4,000 Populists in this State.
and unless | am badly mistaken they will
all vote for Bryan. 1 believe the st. Louis
convention will indorss BRYAN without a
doubt. When the Mckinley managers
claim that be has an easy victory in this
State, l am sure they do not realize the
strength of silver with the working peo-
pie. Ohio will be good fighting ground, -

IL hopes the hepN0fc011 Party VIA
RehdbiIitate the White Metal.
PHILADELPHIA, PA, July 14.-Jay
COOK, the veteran hnancier, who success
fully placed millions of Government
bonds during the Civil War, was inter
viewed to-day on the money question.
What is your opinion on free silver ?''
was the first question asked.
1.-THE opposition to the free coinage of
silver" he replied, sis crime, a misera-
bly, crazy notion. If I had the doing of
it there would be no room for goldbug
in this country. The single gold standard
would ruin this country, positively ruin
it. 1 have seen in my time silver superior
in value to gold, and its depreciation has
been caused by its demonstration. The
silver dollar was the unit of value until
1873, when there was per cent premium
on the metal. At that time the value of
silver was per cent more than that of
gold"
"What effect did this have on the coin
age2''
There was no bullion presented for COIN
age except that which the Government
was compelled to buy to furnish subsidiary
coin. That mad been adulterated."
Nh. Cook then picked up q book and
said: Let me read you what Mr.. Car
Isle said in 1873, before he was allied to
Cleveland and the goldbugs. According
to my view of the subject, said Mr.. Car.
Isle, the conspiracy which seems to have
been formed in this country and Europe
