An 1902 Newspaper.


An interesting relic of bygonc
days was brought into the Boston
Herald Office recently, says that pa
per, and attracted considerable in
terest among members Of the staff.
1t was the Washington Federalist, a
small four-column folio, printed Mon
day, May "a, 1902, containing an an
nouncement of the death at Mt. YER
non of Martha Washington. The
two inside pages of the paper are
surrounded with turned column
rules as mark Of esteem. The fol-
lowing death notice appeared at the
head of the editorial column of the
paper:
Died-At Mt. Vernon, on Satur-
day evening last, Mrs. Martha
Washington, widow of the late illus
trious General George Washington.
To those amiable and Christian yir-
tues which adorn the female charac-
ter, she added the dignity of man.
ners, superiority Of understanding,
a mind intelligent and elevated. The
silence of respectful grief is our best
eulogy.
The paper was published by w.

Dana's Maxine


Charles a. Dana, editor Of the
n. x. Sun, gives the following max
inns in one of his books. "Thc Art Of
Newspaper Making =
l. Get the news, all the news,
and nothing but the news.
2. Copy nothing from another
publication without perfect credit.
8. Never print an interview with.
out the knowledge and consent Of
the person interviewed.
4. Never print paid advertise
ment as news matter. Let every adj
vertisement appear as an advertise
ment.
5. Never attack the weak or de-
fenceless, by argument, by invectiye,
or by ridicule, unless there is some
absolute public necessity for it.
6. Fight for your opinions, but
do not believe that they contain the
whole truth, or the only truth.
I. Support your party, if you
have one; but do not think that all
the good men are in it and the bad
ones outside OF it.
s. Above all, know and believe
that humanity is advancing; that
there is progress in human life and
human affairs and that as sure as
God lives, the future will be greater
and better than the present or the
nast.

sits Done sir,n

One day an employer said to a
youth beginning life as a clerk !;
"Now, tomorrow that cargo of cot
ton must be got out and weighed,
and we must have regular account
of it,"
He was young man of energy,
says the Weekly Star. This was
the first time he had been intrusted
to superintend the execution of this
work. He made his arrangements
over night, spoke to the men about
their carts and horses. He resolved
to begin very early in the morning,
and he instructed the laborers to be
ready at 4:3O. His master came in,
and seeing him sitting it the count
ing-house, looked very blacksuppos-
ing that his commands had not been
executed.
81 thought, said the master you
were told to get out that cargo this
morning ~
ut is all done, sir,'' said the
young man ''and here is the ac-
count of it,
lie never looked behind him from
that moment-never His character
was fixed; confidence was establish
ed. He was found to be the man to
do the thing with promptness. He
very soon came to be one who could
not be spared he was as necessary
to the firm as any of the partners.

Salt is q good barometer. When
| it is damp 1t is probable.
A low barometer almost invarfa-
bly, betokens coming storm.
Squeaky shoes squeak louder than
usual when a storm is coming.
A rainbow in the morning foretells
rainy weather during the day.
Rats and mice are generally very
active and noisy just before storm.
1t is said that the nearer the
change of the moon occurs to mid
night the fouler the weather that
may be expected for the next week.
When horse stands with his tail
towards the direction which the wind
is blowing, rain or snow will follow
in the next few hours.
When drops of water stand on the
outside OF a pitcher the air is full of
moisture, and a change of weather
for the worst is impending.
If the new moon in summer falls
between midnight and 2 a. m. the
probability is that the weather for
day or two at least will be fair.
In winter time if the new moon
occurs between midnight and 2 a. m.
the probability is for frost unless
the wind is from the southwest.
In the winter season a new moon
occurring between 10 a. m. and 10 m.
means colder weather, with possibly
high winds from the north.
When the new moon occurs be-
tween II m. and p. m. in summer
time rainy weather will probably re-
suit; in winter, snow or cold rain.
The fall of dead branches from a
tree is an excellent sign of an ap-
preaching storm. The dead wood,
much decayed, absorbs moisture and
loses its tenacity, thus causing the
branch to fall.
The sensitive plant is good in
dicator of the weather. On the APP
proach of a storm these delicate
members Of the vegetable kingdom
will curl up their leaves as though
dreading the rain.
Many wild birds indicate by
change Of the tone of their voices
the nearness of rain. The black bird,
for instance, whose voice is usually
soft, utters shrill cry when storm
is impending.
Shepherds say that the wool of
sheep furnishes an excellent indica-
ton of weather changes. When it
is crisp there will be no rain. When
it is limp and feels very soft to the
touch storm is imminent.

A New Cave Discovered.

A cave, alleged to rival, in extent
and grandeur, the great Monmouth
Cave, has been discovered in Ed
monson county, KY, in which Nam
mouth Cave is situated. The
newspapers of that region tell many
stories Of the remarkable character
of the new cave. 1t was discovered
by a travelling photographer ofBow-
ling Green, several weeks ago. He
stumbled across an opening in the
rocks, and, following it downward
sixty feet, found himself in an i'm
mense cave. He got others to ac-
company him in an exploration Of
the cave, and it is alleged; that more
than sixty miles of subterranean
avenues have been explored. 1t is
said that company has been formed
to exploit the cave, that it will be
lighted with electricity, and that an
electric railway will be built to its
mouth from Cave City.

CUSTOMER want remedy for
catarrh.
Drug CLERK-All rightsir. Here's
a blood tonic that is advertised to
build up the constitution.
CUsToMER-Young man, do you
think I'm going to dose myself with
blood tonic for months, just on
the chance oft doing me some good?
Not much I want immediate relief;
besides, catarrh is local affection,
and no tonic or blood purifier ever
made, can cure it. Here's so cents.
Let me have Ely's Cream Balm. It's
the only thing know of to cure an
attack of catarrh.

Charmed The Doctor.

DR.. Abernethy, the famous Scotch
surgeon was man of few words,
but he once met his match-in a
woman. She called at his office in Ed
inburgh one day and showed hand,
badly inhamed and swollen, when
the following dialogue, opened BY
the doctor, took place:
"Burn?'
"Bruise."
"Poultice.
The next day the woman called
again, aud the dialogue was as fol-
lows:
"Better ~
"Worse."
"More poultice.
Two days later the woman made
another call, and this conversation
occurred
"Better ~
"Well. Fee p
Nothing" exclaimed the doctor.
"Most sensible woman l ever met !"

Ii we could trace Dyspepsia to its
source, it would lead back to our
kitchens. In fact, the secret of good
health is good cooking. If well
cooked, foods are partially digested;
if poorly cooked, they are less d.
gestible than in their raw state. II
you suffer from Dyspepsia, the "a
tional cure must be looked for in an
artifcially digested food, and a food
which will at the same time aid the
digestion of other foods. Such a
preparation virtually rests the tired
digestive organs, thereby restoring
them to their natural strength.
The Digestive Cordial, as pre-
pared by the Shakers of Mount Lee
banon, is just such a preparation,
and a single 10 cent bottle will con-
vince you of Its value. If your
druggist doesn't keep it, he will be
glad to get it through his wholesale
house.

DISCOVERY OF RICHARD BY MUSIC.

DISCOVERY OF RICHARD 1 BY MUSIC.
Richard the I, an ardent crusa-
der, was taken captive and impris-
oned in 1893 by order of Emperor
Leopold. His place of confinement
was kept a secret, and was discover
ed in the following manner A min
strel called Blondel, one of his most
faithful subjects, resolved to 60 over
the world till he would find him. He
had already travelled over great
part of Europe, and was returning
home through Germany. In CONVEX
sation with an inn-keeper at Lintz,
in Austria, be was not little sur
prised to learn that near the city, at
the entrance of a large forest, there
was strong castle, where foreign.
er of some distinction was confined,
who was guarded with great care.
Blondel was persuaded by secret
impulse that the prisoner was Rich
ard. Blondel Immediately went IN
the direction of the castle. He learn
ed from a peasant that the prisoner
could not be seen, and was not al
lowed to communicate with any one
except his keeper and his servants,
and that the prisoner had no other
amusement than looking over the
country through small grated win
dow. Blopdel listened with eager
attention, and thought of how to
come at the prisoner. When he
found that from the height and mar
rowness of the window he could not
get glimpse of his dear master, if
it was he, he bethought himself of a
French song, the last couplet of
which had been composed by Rich
ard, and the first by himself. After
he had sung, with loud voice, the
first part, be stopped, and directly
heard a voice, which came from the
window, continue and finish the song.
Transported with joy, he was now
certain it was the king. One of the
keepers servants happening to be
sick at the time, he hired himself to
him as substitute, and thus made
himself known to Richard, and, in
forming his mobiles with all possibly
haste, he became the instrument for
bis liberation. But it was only eff
fected by a heavy ranson-three
hundred thousand pounds, of which
one hundred thousand pounds were
to be paid before he received his
liberty, and sixty seven hostages de-
Iiyered for the remainder.

The camel is q beast of great
strength and endurance. Nothing
hurts it until the proverbial "last
straw" is added to its burden. The
human digestive system is very
much like a camel. 1t is really ss-
tonishing how much abuse it will
stand. Sometimes, however, some
thing worse than usual will be eaten,
and viii go through the stomach
into the hpve's, and there it will
stick--tta. constipation. Nine
tenths of all human sickness is due
to constipation. Some ofthe simplest
symptoms are coated tongue and
foul breath, dizziness, heartburn,
datulence, sallowncss, distress after
eating, headaches and lassitude. A
little thing will cause constipation,
and little thing will relieve it. DR..

returned TO Poland and began the study of
law with Judge Charles Z. Glidden of Ma
honing county. During this time he went
to Albany, n. Y, and took a two-years'
course in the law school there. He was
a poor man; he had no resources save his
native pluck and brain, but he determined
to win. He left Poland in the spring of
1867 and began the practice of law in Can
ton
In those days Stark county was so strong
ly Democratic that a Republican nomina-
ton for Office was but an empty honor
Nevertheless, two years after taking up his
residence in Canton Mckinley was nomi-
mated for county prosecutor on the Repub-
llcan ticket. He accepted the nomination,
stumped the county from one end to the
other, made himself acquainted with every
voter in the county, and was elected. He
not only surprised the Democrats, but his
own party by his victory. He served two
years and then was defeated for reelection
, by a majority of -. But he had made a
strong impression on the people of Canton,
and in 1876 he was elected to Congress,
where he remained until 1891 as a repre-
sentative from the 18th Ohio district.
While in Congress serving on the commit
tee on the revision of laws, the judiciary
committee, the committee of expenditures
of the postoflic department and the com
mttee on rules he made his executive
strength felt as he had in the army and at
the bar before. When Garfield was nomi-
mated for the presidency Mckinley was as
signed to the committee on ways and
means in his place, and remained with that
committee until the end of his congress
