POT BOILING.

From the running of the maple trough
in the Spring to the boiling of the apple
butter pot in the fall, and all the house
hold boiling between times, there are q
thousand chances of very severe scalds and
burns. In all household work, winter and
summer, in great factories and in nurseries
where careless children play with matches,
there is need OF something to be always on
hand in such emergencies, and st. Jacobs
Oil fills that want to the letter. With
careful attention to directions for use,
there is nothing more soothing, healing
and curative than this great remedy for
pain. 1t cures promptly, and, making q
scalds or burns is acute and torturing, and

Admission to Community Of Lette rs.
1t is not community of writer's, but
a community of letters. One gets ad-
mission, not because he writes-write
he never SO cleverly, like gentleman
and a man of wit-but because he is
literate, a true initiate into the secret
craft and mystery of letters. What
that secret is man may know, even
though he cannot practise or appropri-
ate it. If man can see the permanent
element in things-the true sources of
laughter, the real fountains of tears,
the motives that strike along the main
lines Of conduct, the acts which dis
play the veritable characters Of men,
the trifes that are significant, the de-
tails that make the mass-if he knew
these things, and can also choose
words with a like knowledge of their
power to illuminate and reveal, give
color to the eye and passion to the
thought, the secret is his, and an en-
trance to that immortal communion

venturing upon the matrimonial sea is
concerned. Mr.. Hill gives frequent
bachelor dinners and entertains num-
Der of the prominent men from various
portions OF the country from time to

avoids the ordinary dinners and recep-

that men and women waste a great

when complaining that Congress was
doing so little, he made the point that
the men might be able to do more work

sent away while Congress was in ses-

1t is a relief even to those who scorn
to believe in the supernatural when a
supposed ghost is clearly proved to be
of earthly origin. One of the most fa-
nous murder cases in Australia was
discovered by the ghost of the murder
ed man sitting on rail of nam (Aus-
tralian for horsepond) into which his
body had been thrown. Numberless
people saw it, and the crime was duly
brought home. Even the skeptical ad-
mitted that this ghost seemed to be an
authentic one. But some years after
a dying man making his confession said
that he invented the ghost. He wit
messed the crime but was threatened
with death if he divulged it as he wish
ed to, and the only way he saw out of
the impasse was to affect to see the
ghost where the body was found. AS
soon as he started the story, such is the
power Of nervousness that numerous
other people began to see it, until its
fame reached such dimensions that
search was made and the body found,
and the murderers brought to justice.

longer man lives the less he becomes
entitled to. The payment of 81 a month
assures the payment of $1,000 to the
heirs of man dying before the age Of

Gladness Comes

With a better understanding of the
wv transient nature of the many phys
: ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasante Efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laXatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
.ssed and gives most general satisfaction.

finishing touches to the interior
of Madison Square Garden, where
horses and society folks will
share honors the coming week.
1t will be the twelfth annual eX-
hibitiOn of the National Horse
Show association in this city, and
as the demands for admission are
greater than those of last year
the usual financial success may
be exceeded. Many of the out of
town entries to the show have al
ready arrived and are now quar-
tered in the stables about the
city. where they will remain I'M
til the committee in charge will
receive them at the garden and
allot each animal a STALL. Among
the animals there are of b. w.
Ford, from Lexington, KY, with
his celebrated trOtter, Trevelyan,
and j. S. BrattOn, of Chicago,
with Is head. BrattOn's stock
consists of road horses and jump
ers. NJ. w. Durham, of Wayne,

French coach horses. III. n.

of hackneys. Adam Brack, of

are Long Shot, Huntsman, Lee,
Lady Like and lockwood. Tons
of hay and straw for food and
bedding have been unlOaded at
the garden. In the basement and
on the side of the building, where
the stalls are located, everything
is in readiness. On Saturday the
top dressing of tan bark will be
added to the ring, which will
about complete all the arrange
ments for the opening of the
show on Monday. On Sunday
the usual luncheon will be serv-
ed and during the afternoon a
dress rehearsal will take place
on the tan bark circle.

POLITICAL LOVE.
A MARRIAGE BROUGHT AT OHIOA.
GO HEADQUARTERS.
McLenS and His Republican Typewriter
Are to Maintain More Than
Business Union.

Chicago, Nov. 6.-When the
great American people exercised
their sovereign perOgative Tues
day and elected William MCKin-
ley to the presidency. they also
uncOnsciously assumed the re-
spOnsibility for the marriage of
Mr.. c. f. McLenz and Miss Ella
C. Phillips. The story is a pretty
one and presents a mingling of
love and politics that would de-
light the heart of a novelist at
loss for an original plot. When
the Republican national commit
tee opened headquarters in Chi
cagO it chose as secretary of the
German bureau a young man
named c. McLenz. When the
campaign progressed and this bu-
reau like all others, was flooded
up to its official ears in business,
it was found necessary to engage
a stenOgrapher and Miss Ella G.
Phillips was offered the position
and accepted. That was the sit
uatiOn when the story ended. But
Mr.. MCLenz was young man and
had other thoughts than the dis
position of the German votes,
and Miss Phillips had other
charms than her ability to handle
a typewriter. The end is not
hard to see. Though the two
young people had never met be-
fore the Republican national
committee threw them together
in the headquarters of the Ger
man bureau, the acquaintance
ship rapidly developed into some
thing stronger than friendship.
Few, if any, of the visitors to
the German bureau knew of the
wild surging thoughts of love
that were beating within the
breasts of the business-like secre-
tary. Few understood the ten
derness that underlay the dull
business political letter that urg-
ed Mr.. Uggenheimer to support
with all his might the cause of
sound money and protection, and
turned it into assurances of un.
alterable love, in the ears of a
pretty young woman, by the man
who dictated it. The secret was
well kept and it is only by read
ing between the lines that the
story of the queer courtship can
be made out. The eyes of love are
proverbially sharp and the ears
of love probably possess the same
qualifications. At any rate Mr..
McLenz and Miss Phillips under
stood each other perfectly wheth-
er the rest of the world did or
not.

New York, Nov. 6.-The Her
aid this morning says that the
New York anarchists held post

leaders. The following is a trans
latiOn:
"Take care you do not rejoice
too much in the hour of your vic
tory. Be just in all things. Do
not crush the workingman. 1t is
a bad time for that. Keep your
solemn pledges or the revolution
will follow. \ violent death to

(Signed) THE RED HAND"
Copies were sent to Mark Han
ma, Thomas c. Plat, Chairman
Hackett, of the Republican state
committee, Chauncey NJ. Depew,
Senator Quay, Warner Miller and
Frederick s. Gibbs. SkobOlenski,
Russian, anarchist, gravely eX-
plainedsthat the purpose of send
ing it in Greek was to enable
each recipient "to ponder over it
and carefully weigh its mean
ing"
Mr.. Hackett missed his, warn
ing, and when a copy received by
the Herald was translated to him
he laughed. Chauncey Depew's
Red Hand communication was
consigned to the waste paper
basket. Mr.. Gibbs read his and
seemed to enjoy it and Mr.. Plat
when he had read his said: 81
would rather crush myself than
crush the workingman. I am just
in all things and I always keep
