relief that I felt made over new.

her stomach could not digest the

CURRENT COMMENT.
THE VITALITY OF HUMBUG.
New York SUM-

A young man named Hargrove was
| elected President of the Theosophical So
ciety ON Sunday by convention at Madi-
son Square Garden composed of more
| than three hundred delegates. The size
Of the meeting and the prominence the
| newspapers have given to the reports OF
its proceedings might lead people TO i'm.
agine that they were of Importance, and
that tho movement now headed by this
young fellow Is of serious consequence !.
The truth is that there is nothing in
Theosophy except as a curiosity. OF
COURSE there Is really no such thing rs
Theosophy. 1t is only word. There can
be no such thing as human wisdom con-
corning the divine. Theosophy, more
itself and according to the standard OF
measurement which is fixed by even the
most extravagant popular Imagination.
All told, the last census gave the number
of Theosophists in the United States at
only twenty five hundred, and it is not
probable that they have increased since
1890. 1t is more likely that there are
In the movement was then, it has been
dying out ever since Nine. Blavatsky' e
death at London in 1891. She had been
exposed completely as a charlatan long
before. Theosophy had been proved to be
mere trickery and false pretence The
only wisdom about it is the wisdom of
the serpent. 1t is based on pure jugglory.
Nine. BIayatsky herself used to laugh at
the stupidity Of her dupes, for she was a
clever woman who had a spice of humor
in her composition. Their gullibility
amused her, and she seems to have found
special enjoyment in putting 1t to ex-
treme tests.
The whole device of the so-caIled The
osophy was contriyed by this wicked old
woman for the purpose of playing with
the voracious credulity of her round -eved
following of "muffs." as she used to call
O1cott and the rest of the scatter Drained
tribe. 1t must have been great fun fol

sleep, appetite, and strength.
After trying many doctors, hospi-
tails, and medicines in vain, Mrs. j. S.
DAILY, of Cambridge, Mass, had also
abandoned hope, when Puritana was
brought to her relief. It gave her
strength and health, pure, rich blood,
vigorous digestion, and raised her
from the sick bed to the full vigor
of happy womanhood.
Yes, one drop of Puritana will
bring more real relief, mere real cure,
more real strength, more real nerve
force, more real power and vital
energy, more real " life-is-worth-
living" than dipperful, bucketful,
barrelful of so-called tonics, blood
cures, nerve foods, pills, and doubtful
preparations from unknown sources,
that is the reason why Puritana is
the most economical medicine as
well as the most effective in the
| world.

Puritana is the prize formula of

two years at the head of Dartmouth

makes the heart right, lungs right,
liver right. blood right, kidneys right,
nerves right, and health right, because
it makes the stomach right. To any

it as directed, Puritana will practi-
cally give new stomach. That is
why hundreds and thousands of
people have proved that it cures from
head to foot.

1t is well for the country that the at
tempt which was made the other day in
the Senate to get the tariff under discus
sion again at this session Of Congress
failed. 1t was demonstrated many weeks
ago when the Dingley bill making slight
advance in duties was defeated in the
Senate that no tariff legislation was pos
sible at this session. That being the case
a reopening Of the matter would only
serve to prolong the session, thus infiiot-
ing needless expense upon the country,
and perhaps giving business men new
'scare." What the country wants Con-
gress to do is to adjourn as soon as the
indispensable business is concluded, and
any attempt to prolong the session be-
You'd that time will hurt the party or
the faction that is the author of it, If it
was MoKinley's friends who attempted to
stir up the tariff question again on the
idea that it would give it new promineno
with the country and thus help hist
campaign the intended beneficiary o
these tactics ought to feel happy in their
failure, for their success would certainly
have hurt him more than it would have
helped him.

1t is difficult to see why the New Eng.
land Sunday Protection League should
| rontine their energies to the suppression
of Sunday bicycle riding. To ride on a
bicycle on Sunday is no more desecra-
ton of the day than to ride in carriage
or an electric car. Perhaps their idea is
that carriage and electric car riding on
Sunday has been going on too long to be
successfully attacked, while bicycle rid
ing, being a new thing comparatively, can
be checked. We have no idea, however,
that the crusade Will amount to anything
practical, any more than former crusades
against the borse or electric car did. The
majority of the people nre not very strict
Sabbatarians, and in popular govern
ment the majority are likely to have their
way in the long run whether it be the
best way or not.

yesterday adopted resolution asking the
next legislature to increase the tax or

larger tax; and doubtless if Mr.. Powers,

President Kruger of the Transyaal
Republic has committed the sentences OF
the men charged with high treason, and
thus saved himself from a conflict with
England, for it is certain that if the sen.
tenoes had been carried out or promise
not to carry them out not been given
English Etroops would speedily have in.
vaded the Transyaal and in the end have
reduced the republic to dependence upon
England. Even as it is 1.-THE mere threat
of the execution of these men oouplad
with the naughty refusal of Kruger to &c
to England will create bitter hostility
against the Beers among the English
residents in South Africa and very likely
ultimately precipitate a conflict.
