For Dosing Oneself.

A physician recommends rochelle
salts for amateur doctoring. He says
that it is an excellent thing to- several
times day. take as much of the salts as
may be put on a 8 cent piece in little
water; that they will sweeten the stom-
ach and act as very desirable spring
medicine. He also speaks highly of
soda, having no patience with those
timid people who have an idea that it
is dangerous dose, doing some vague
harm to the coating Of the intestines
why, everything we eat almost has
soda in it," he cries in disdain. ut is
an admirable thing to take half rochelle
salts and half bicarbonate Of soda, as
directed, several times day. 1 know

A Friendly Hint.

The small cigar cutters generally seen
in tobacco stores seem to exercise a
strange fascination over some people. 1t
seems that few people can stand near
one of these machines without playing
with it, and sometimes there is finger
cut. A dealer has II clever scheme by
which to obviate this danger. A small
sign upon the cutter reads, For cigars,
not fingers. ''-Exchange.

At the recent Evangelical general con

and to incorporate into the discipline

from joining oath bound secret societies.

RIDE A RAMBLER,
RIDE A WINNER.

How do we know? Well,
look at the records at the track
on the 9th Of June. 3 firsts
S seconds and 3 thirds for the
Rambler. 3 frsts, no seconds
and | third for the Cleveland.
l first, 3 seconds, no thirds
for the Tribune.
Then how about the great
Relay Race on the 4th of July.
You read in "The Star" that
the 5 miles was made in 13
minutes and % seconds by a
Tribune, but we are inclined
to think this is an error. To
be sure this time was made by
a Tribune rider, but to do it
he had to have a Rambler,
and every one knows that Geo.
Martin, who holds the record
for fastest time in the Relay
Race, rode Rambler Wheel
and thus got there. The wheels
we handle did not get their
reputation in a day, but after
a year of hard work on the
part of the makers, and now
the average racing man knows
Just about what to get for
speed and wear. This is the
reason that out of the Is
wheels ridden in the Relay
Race 9 came from us.
Ladies Wheels for 1896 are
pretty wheels, and Judging
from the way ours sell we are
sure that the ladies are fast
finding it out.

THE DONGOLA MOVEMENT.

The confirmation of the report that
Egyptian troops have been ordered to
advance I'D the Nile and take possession
of Doneola gives decided color to the
susniclon that the peace negotiations in
progress between the Italians and the
Abyssinians were inaugurated by the
former simply for the purpose of gain
ing time. In view Of Great Britain's
interest in keeping Italy on guard on
the road from the lower Red Sea littoral
TO the Soudan, and OF the understanding
between those two Powers regarding the
Italian colonial venture In Africa, II has
seemed that Great Britain was almost
bound to help the Italians out OF the
present scrape. The Italian colony in
Erythrea was planted with the advice
and consent, so TO speak, OF Great Bril-
tain. and the British from the first, but
especially since the fall of Khartoum,
have encouraged policy OF aggression
and expansion on the part OF their pro-
teges. No one has ever imagined that
Great Britain has given up the idea OF
reconquerng the Soudan, and II has
been an open secret that when the OPP
FORTUNE occasion arrived for that recon-
quest the British and the Italians
would make parallel movement
against the Mahdsts.
The disasters that have oyertaken the
Italian arms and the rumors OF intended
British evacuation of Egypt have. It is
said, and doubtless truly, been used
TO incite the dervishes to another descent
upon Egypt and another effort TO Sc
cure a port through which they could
resume the slave trade with Arabia. But
whether this is really the case or not, 1t
would appear that Great Britain, in con-
junction with Egypt, now has, or has
made, the opportunity for giving a help
ing hand to Italy. An Egyptian move
ment against Dongcla is an Anglo-Egyp-
Mahdists not contemplating another war
against Egypt, 1t would tend to pro-
woke hostilities. furthermore. the move
ment, besides creating a diversion in
favor Of the Italians, and giving them
chance TO mend heir hold. may be de-
signed to serve still another purpose. A
war with the Mahdists, be IL never so
small an affair. woul1 furnish Great
Britain with proof with which to con-
front France and Russia that the task
she has undertaken in Egypt has not
vet been accomplished. The British
have no intention Of yielding to the pres
sure that France and Russia are bring
ing to bear to make them cvacuate the
land OF the Pharaohs, but what with
the nations other foreign complications
at present, It is very well to have such
an argument for retaining their grip
as trouble with the Khalifa would af-
ford.

EIrNEEAI REFORM.

We are glad that the ministers OF
Richmond have taken up the subject OF
funeral reform. Since at is appointed
unto all men once to die" all men must
be interested in the subject The Minis
terial Union of Richmond, at its meet
ing OF Monday last, appointed DIR. Hoge
to present his views on this interesting
topic to that body, which represents, We
suppose. all the ministers in this city.
The Richmond Ministers Union have
taken up a theme which is well worthy
Of the attention of thinking men. 1t has
been discussed for years both in this
country and in England We have before
us a sermon on Burial Reform" preach
ed some time ago in New York, Liver
pool, Manchester, and Westminster Ohe
last three places being in England. by
Rev. L. Lawrence. lie quoted Numbers
Xxx, &C. as follows: And Aaron shall
be gathered to his fathers"
Mr.. Lawrence argued that this Ian
guage did not mean that Aaron's
body was 70 be gathered TO his fathers,
but he himself apart from his mortal
body, which after death is the worn
out fetter which the soul has broken
and cast away. and which is sown a
natural body to be raised a spiritual
body.
The fact thus stated by Mr.. Lawrence
must be recognized as fact before
much progress can be made in funeral
reform. so difficult is II for even the
most intelligent persons to divest them
selves Of the desire to do something TO
indicate their love and respect for their
dead. Having nothing else they proceed
to act as if the poor dead body were
the dead man himself.
l. Mr.. Lawrence says that the dead
body is retained too long unburied, and
suffers an indignity from which it should
be spared.
2. Mr.. Lawrence objects to strong,
durable collins He would have the body
restored to mother earth.
3. Mr.. Lawrence objects TO all unnec-
essary show, which is often in the worst
possible taste. 1.-The grave" he says,
sis marked by the unmeaning urn or
decked with artificial wreaths which
teach no lesson, but are mere make
believes in the midst of stern. awful
realities" Ministers should instruct their
congregations on this subject. The dead
body is not your beloved departed, but
merely the tenement of clay which he
has left behind.
T. Mr.. Lawrence asks wherein lies the
remedy for these things, and replies that
IL lies in right views Of life and death,
and of the relationship of the body TO
the real person or personality.
DR.. Hoge will treat this matter as II
deserves to be treated. In some places,
the coffin is turned over to the under
taker at the church door. Nowhere
should the persons at funeral be ex-
pected TO stand uncovered on cold
day, or upon the snow or muddy ground.
Nowhere should there be two funeral
services over the same man. Nowhere
should the friends Of the deceased be
made to hear the clods Of earth falling
upon the coffin.
But this is a fruitful theme. and we
leave It TO the clergy, who are the great
est sufferers from some. at least OF the
things which demand funeral reform.

think It likely that they will bring ABOUT
very timely discussion. with the re-
suit that when the state con'e'''on
meets at stanton in June members WIZ
be very well informed as to the questions
that will come before them.
II our party would assure the people
that, in the event a constitutional con-
vention is held, the Democratic members
thereof would steer clear of the matters
referred to in the Governors statement
published In this paper yesterday. the
convention scheme would have friends in
quarters where 1t now has enemies. The
views advanced by Governor OFerrall
seem to us TO be sound, and by calling
popular attention to the subject In ques-
ton he has done a public service.

The unseating Of Mr.. Robbins, OF Ala
bama, and the seating Of his opponent
may mean a good deal more than appears
upon the surface. The Republicans in
Congress would like to devise some
method Of taking the whole State Of
Alabama out Of the hands of the Demo-
Gratis and putting II into the hands OF
the Republicans. The Robbins case In
the House OF Representatives and the
Morgan case in the United States Senate
may be fruitful OF wrongs to the south
ern people. However, the Republicans
will think twice before they undertake
to Dust the officers Of the State OF Ala
bama. or the members Of Congress from
that State. and substitute Republicans.
The job is a dangerous one.

THE DELAWARE CASE.

The Dupont case from Delaware, now
pending in the United States Senate, is
an interesting one 1t is an intricate
one, too; and forbids the idea that 1t
can be decided out of hand, even by the
great lawyers in the United States SEN
ate The question TO be decided Is, can
one person exercise at the same time
the functions of Governor and State sena-
tor?
The case arose as follows: The Della
ware Legislature is composed OF thirty
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. In the House, ana
nine in the Senate. The Governor dying
the Speaker of the Senate becomes Gov
ernor. as provided in the State Constitu-
tion. The Governor did die, and the
Sneaker duly assumed the Office of Gov
ernor. From the time Of assuming the
office of Governor until the day
United States senator Dupont was elect
ed. the Governor did not again pre-
side or even appear in the State
Senate. On that day he took the seat
of the Speaker Of the Senate. and voted
in the election Of United States senator
making thirty votes cast In all. dupont
received fifteen votes. II the Governor
was still a member Of the State Senate
and had the right to vote, Dupont was
not elected; seeing that fifteen Is not a
majority of thirty. But, II the Governor
cannot hold the two offices at once, and
was not still a member Of the Senate.
and had no right TO vote, the joint con-
vention Of the two branches of the Della
ware Legislature was composed of TWEEN
ty-nine members only, and Dupont was
duly elected. having received fifteen votes.
n majority OF twenty-nine. The Democrats
I'm the Delaware Legislature voted
against Dupont, and the Republicans
for him.
We say this is an interesting contest.
1t is difficult TO make out clear case
in favor Of Dupont. 1t certainly does
not seem 10 be right for man to hold
an executive office and legislative Of
