Reasons Given by IL Man Who Listens to

a man who makes u practice of Civ
ing aims to almost every bcggar that
.i,a':.,:i hiin ON the street has 4 unique
explanation for his action, says the
Washington Post.
''Str@ct h2gging is the hardest work
in the worli," he says. Surprising
Scv@nLy-iive per cent. of all the bpggars
in The business to be i;ApuotorS. What
q" y1n observe? A woman cronr!ling
a!l day over u hurdy-gmrtly, waiting for
III" pC.nii', that are dr0ppci int her
tin rc"spiaclc; men standing in The by
ways and on dark street corners in the
cold without an ovcrcoat, asking you
- %nu piss to give them dime TO buy
ii cup OF coffee with. Suppose they
make 4 dollar day that way! II YOU
think that's a comfortable business,
just try it for an experiment. Don't
take any reckoning of the hard things
thAt are said to them. Pride soon be-
comes callouScd under such a strain;
bat just look ut it from the standpoint
Of the amount Of hard work involved
and the diScomfortS from cold and cX-
posurc. You'll soon come to the con-
cInSlon that almost any kind of manual
labor is lighter than street begging;
ana for that reason l never inquire
whether Il begger is deserving or not.
If he takes to the business as a matter
Of choice he deserves all he can get"
but suppose every man should take
your view of it. Bcggary would be-
come the most profitable business that
one could engage in"
"Ah!' said the philosopher, "but how
many men take the trouble to think of
it? The discovery is mine."

Singing Letter from tho Commander ON
Army Reservations.

Singing Letter from tho Comminder ON
Army ResignAtlons.
Mrs. Johns. Brown, the wife of Vice
President Brown, of the First national
bank of Charlottesville, has relic
which is not for sale, being nothing
less than m autograph letter of Gen.
George Washington. The letter, says
the indianapolis News, was found
many years ago among the papers Of
Maj. Bcall, of Virginia, the great
grandfather of Mrs. Brown, and it has
been treasured as n precious heirloom
ever since. Maj. Beall was in the con-
tinental army, and the letter was
written to him upon his resignation
from the service, after the terrible win
ter at Valley Forge. The letter is still
in good condition, having carefully
been framed, and is one of the few au-
'tograph letters of Washington eXtant.
1t has the characteristic signature,
Astounding in flourishes, but the bal
ancc of the letter is written in a COM
paratively plain hand. The letter reads
as follows:
Headquarters, 31st March, ITS
Sir: I have received your letter of
this date inclosing your commission.
The frequency of resignation through
out the army is truly alarming. In
the Virginia line this spirit unhappily
seems to rage like an epideinical dis
ease. l am ut a loss to account how
gentlemen can reconcile such an aban-
donmcnt of the public interest at this
crisis of our affairs, either with the
principles of honor or duty to them
selves and their country. If, however,
You think yourself warranted and arc
determined 10 quit the army / must at
least insist upon your retaining your
commission till the arrival of more of
ticcrs i'll camp. l am, sir, your most
Obt. Scrvt., q. Washington"
The straightforward letter of the
great commander so affected Mai.
Ecall that he continued in the service,
and was Instrumental in bringing
abont the recall of a number of other
res: gnatiuns.

A STATEMENT.

In Saturdays issue of the INDEPEN-
DENT appears an article rejecting on
me and holding me responsible for an
article published in the Tidings OF
last Fridays issue rejecting on the
editor Of the INDEPENDENT.
Although the article in the Tidings
appeared in the editorials. yet l did.
not write it or have anything to do
with the publication of said article.
Moreover ] advised the Manager of
the Tidings not to publish anything
concerning Mr.. Booher's criticism Of
the New Years Edition of the Tidings.
am of the opinion that the article
in the TIdings was too severe and was
not justItiable from Mr.. Boomers
criticism of the New Years edition Of
the Tidings. Suppose part of the me-
chanical work of that edition was
done in San Francisco, what differ
ence does it make? why need Broth
rem quarrel and abuse each other over
such Il trifllng matter? I try to live
up to that ancient rule called Golden,
GAS we would that men should do to
you do yc also to them" Hence if l
had write any criticism of Mr..
Booher il would have been of diff
ferent character.
NJ S. RIDDLE.
The article III the Tidings to which
we replied on Saturday WIS in it's edi-
Uorial column under the name of Rev.
M. S. Riddle, and we naturally sup
posed it was written by him. But as
MIR. Riddle omphatically denies it's
authorship and all connection with it,
there remains but one honorable
course for the editor Of the INDEPEN-
DENT to take and that as to unqualili-
eddy rctract any and all statements
made IL the reply to said article III
the Tidings which i'll any manner re-
fleet upon him. This We cheerfully
do, and return TO him our sincere
apology for amy injury we may have
innoccntly done him. Justice to him
and oar own ideas of right demand
this course. Anything less than this
will fall short of what we conceive TO
be our duty in this unpleasant mat.
ter. 70 carry out the above rctrac.
ton, the article in question will not
appear iii the WEELY INDEPENDENT.
The manager OF the Tidings is neg
Hgent i'll the performan ce of his du-
ties Or this article would not have APP
peared in the columns of that paper.
The INDEPENDENT would respectfully
suggest TO him that he either attend
to his duties or kill Mr.. Olney. If he
is unable to do either of the above, lie
should at least exercise some control
over him while in the flesh, as no
newspaper man will stand his bitter
personal attacks. Mr.. Vardy should
know that the editor of paper and
not the man who sets the type is re-
sponSible for It's editorials.
AS the author of the article is ire
sponsible, the editor Of the INDEPEN-
DENT expects that the manager of the
Tidlngs III its next issue will make a
frank and manly retraction of the Of
fensive article and not make his col
umn the vehicle for conveying the
the idle vaporings of an added brain.
Nothing less will make the repara.
tons due to the editor of the INDEpEN-
DENT.

me. l ran up the three flights. Tn door was open. Amy was stopping ove her trunk, crying quietly, just little. Amy! !' cried, holding my arms ou toward her.
 She looked up quickly, and queer lit tie smile came over her mouth, althougt her eyes kept on crying. And then she came right into my arms-nOt in aggres sive way, but confidently and quietly just as if she belonged there. We stood there perfectly still for a minute; and then 1 kissed her. As did so l caught sight O some one standing in the door. way. It was the Bass Singer. He did look stern now, but very sad and white as ghost.
 II beg your pardon" he said. ''I did not know congratulate you"
 He tried to advance and shake hands but he could not do it. He made two steps forward, then turned and hurried out of the room. We could hear his reckless tread as he rushed down the three steep flights of stairs.
 "Poor fellow" said Amy, standing with her hands on my shoulders, and lis- tening to the Bass Singers steps as they mingled with other steps on the side walk. "He's been so kind to me!''
 Amy did not stay away month alter all. She came back the next Sunday to sing. But that day there were only three in the little balcony above the minister.
 The Bass Singer had resigned. Rob ert Beverly Hale in The Independent.

1he Home Circle. LINES ON THE DEATH OF SAMUEL DIBBLE. WRITTEN FOR THE NEWTOWN BEE.

There is no need OfnOIseIess footsteps now Or silent whisperings or bated breath; Time hath engraved upon that marble brow That ancient mystery the seal of death. Do we repine or grieve; If so lis well To sOothe our sorrow with the bitter tear While yet the dirges Of the passing bell Seem sounding fittul OCT the silent bier. Hope, Faith, the blessed promises: all these We fain would use to mitigate our grief, To cultivate the minor sight which sees More clear, the evidence of our belief This life, this light now tlickered out and gone Call it by whatsoever name we will, Whether Q spark from God or earthly born, Was, is, 6 d ever will be, mystery still. This much we know, that his was earnest life Brave, kind, industrious and loving home, A hero to a trusting, trusted wife, All Children's friend, the idol of his His life, his work, his worth hath need ot
 praise,
 It strengthens faith in man and tends to save From doubt and blank despair these latter
 days
 Mans fond belief in life beyond the grave

HEROIC WOMEN. Their Struggle Against Common and Merciless Enemy.
SPECIAL TO oUR LADY REApERs.y

70 make those around her cheerful, while she is racked with the eXcruciating tor t9res of womb trouble.
 Think of one who, day by day, begs her physician to help her, while the torture of tortures could not add to her misery.
 Does she yield ? No! She endures her agonies, and meets her friends with cheerfulness.
 This is woman's heroism, and few men realize how prevalent they are. Physi- clans rarely render relief in such cases.
 Aftegtwenty years of success, with ever increasing popularity, Lydia E. Pink hdm's Vegetable Compound is, to-day, woman's only sure and safe refuge from inflammation, ulceratiOn, falling and dis placement of the womb, ovarian trouble, leucorrh@a, painful and suppressed men situations, kidney trouble, nervous pres tration, and all manner of distressing and life-sapping female diseases.
 '' o my sisters, believe what is told you of this wonderful medicine Before I took it l had falling of the womb and leucorrh0a. My womb came down so badly 1 could not walk across the floor; the pain was excruciating; now all is so changed, and I am so happy. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has saved me from a life of misery. Don't, don't suffer, say, when a cure is so easily obtained. "- MRs. WILLIAM HOWE, 163 Antoin Street, Detroit, Mich.

THE NEW YORK
 TIMES.

l THE TIMES is q newspaper tor intelligent men and women who want to read all the news Ot the world every day. The paper has distinguishing merits ot its own. It is neither sensatio- al nor dull. It is not sour tempered. II is not frivolous or visionary IL secs plenty of good in the world and tells
 about it. It tells ot the bad when it must.
 but not unwhOlesomely. It prints with fuI-
 ness the record of human endeavor in many
 fields outside Ot business, politics, and war in literature, religion, science, art, sports, and household matters. No paper in the country prints so many book reviews and so nuch book news. No paper has so complete a financial page-a daily manual for inves- tors and officers ot financial institutions. Its market reports-wooI, cotton, breadstuffs, farm produce, &c.-are the best in the conn., try.
 The Democracy of THE TIMES is of the old fashioned sort-as old as Thomas Jeffer- son; majority rule, no bossism, no machine tyranny, the divorce Ot politics from private money making, sound currency, industrial emancipation, and every day honesty. To promote the advance of the Democratic Party along these lines it 1abors with heart and con- science and all it's might.
