"A man killed on railroad never dies
with his boots on, remarked Reading
Railroad employe, at Wayne Junction,
recently. sin my experience of over
twenty years l have seen perhaps over a
hundred cases where people have been
struck and killed by engines, and in every
instance, when the body was picked up,
the feet were found to be minus Shoes
Even men wearing heavy top-boots are not
exempt from the invariable rule. Any
old engineer will tell you the same thing
1t is mystery which nobody seems able
to solve, and it is as inexplicable as that
other strange phenomenon of the drowned
man, who always floats on top of the water
face downward, while the woman floats
face upward

Another quaint society entertainment
was the ''Husking Bee at the Hotel
Waldorf one night last week, given by the
National Society of New England Women.
The invitations to this affair were written
in red ink and, woman fashion, had three
postscripts. Real corn was in the ball
room to be husked, and everything was
arranged to resemble as much as was pos
sible in the greatest of metropolitan hotels
the husking parties of former years in the
big country barns. There was singing
and recitations, and after supper there was
dancing.

Cold Water in Rooms.

A singular property Of ice cold
water is that it attracts to itself alarge
quantity OF the poisonous gases which
are exhaled through our lungs and
pores. The colder the water the great
er its capacity for holding impurities,
and water which has stood during the
night in a close bedroom is highly
injurious to drink. At normal tenn
perature a pitcher of water will, under
these circumstances, probably contain
lin the morning. from pint to pint
and half of carbonio gas and a larger
proportion Of ammonia; when nearly
at freezing point its capacity for inn
billing polsons is doubled.
As a means of purifying the at
mosphere cold water is very useful, es-
pecially so in the case of newly
painted room, where basins of water
should be set (emptying them every
few hours) to collect the poisons given
out by fresh paint. But water so used
becomes a deadly poison, and should
be carefully thrown away where no
children or domestic animals are like.

OF Course 1t Lives.

With the charming modesty charnc-
teristic of Chicago, Alderman NJ. d.
Madden, of that city, shyly said in his
speech as Chairman of the Illinois
Republican State Convention: at is
agreed on every hand that the Repub-
lican party still lives; that the country
depends on the enforcement of Re-
publican principles. This grand and
glorious announcement is reported to
have been received with ''great ap-
plause."
OF course the Republican party
lives. 1t has its origin and support
in greed and dishonest selfshness. It
depends for existence on the desire of
some men to get rich at the expense
of others. Since human nature has
not yet got rid of much that is evil
and base, it is only natural that Re-
publicanism should thrive. So long
as lew cunning monopolists can
trick the masses with catch words
about protection" to labor, "tha
home market for farmers" and can
American tariff, so long will there be
a party which win serve them. Until
the people get intelligent enough to
see that they are being robbed by high
tariffs and other class legislation, they
will continue to vote for the party
which is depressing them. Error is
long-lived, and it will not be until
the masses have been educated by the
painful experience of idleness, poverty
and suffering that they will bury Re-
publicanism, which isreally Mckinley
ism, with other dead issues.
"The time hns been that, when the
brains were out the man would die. -
The Republican party long ago lost
its soul, which was traded to the devil
of monopoly in exchange for cam
paign contributions. The party now
is merely an organized appetite. which
swallows corruption funds and spreads
abroad poverty and industrial death.
It will exist until a majority Of the
people kill it.

WILL REDUCE REVENUE.
General Weyler's Order Prohibiting
the Expectation of Tobacco.

General Weyler's Order Prohibiting
the Expectation of Tobacco.
A special from Jacksonville says:
The order of General Weyler, prohibit
ing the expectation of tobacco from
Cuba, has caused CONSERVATION among
the Cubans of Florida. The revenues
of the United States government will
be eut down at least ST. 900, 600 from
the port of Tampa alone during the
next year, says Collector Wilson, Of
the internal revenue department, if
the orders are carried out by the Span
ish authorities.
Thousands of Cubans in Florida will
be thrown out of employment if there
is no Cuban manufacture, aud having
nothing to do, these Oubans will 90
over to Cuba to fight for the inde-
pendence of their native land. 1t is
the general opinion that General Wey-
Ter has made bad move in issuing
any such order. His object was, no
doubt, to throw the Cubans in this
country out of employment and thus
reduce their ability to aid the cause
of the insurP Is financially, but while
he may succeed in this he will, in re-
atty, have strengthed the Cuban army
to great extent and brought the vic.
tory of the Cubans nearer.

The town of Leicester, in England,
boasts its possession of the ruin OF an
ancient temple dedicated to Janus.
The ruin is claimed by tine vicar and
churchwardens Of st. Nicholas parish.
This remarkable relic is in danger Of
being destroyed, that q new railway
station may be put up in its place.
Leicester is famous for it possessions
of this sort, but it has already lost
many historic relics The vicar and
churohwardens are making strenuous
efforts to preserve this one, their OBJ
iect being to keep it intact and to
maintain their ownership. An action
in the matter is pending.
From old accounts it appears that
King Lear founded the town of Leices-
ter SS4 years before the birth of
Christ. He also built temple, dedi-
Gated to Janus, placing therein fla
men pagan PRIEST. Cordelia, King
Lear's daughter, buried her father in
the temple. Another king, Archigalls
by name, was also buried there.

WHAT sM,KNLEYIsmg MEAvs
II IA Treason Against the American
People.

People,
The methods which are now being
uaod TO secure MoKinley's nomination
for the Presidency, and which will DO
used 70 secure his election six months
hence, are nothing lesa than O treason
able conspiracy against tho people
and Government of the United States.
The principles on which American in-
stitutions we're founded was that nll
laws enacted by the Government
should DO in the interest Of the whole
people, and that each aud every citi.
zen should have an equal representa-
lion in the National Legislature.
There we're 10 be no privileged govern
ing classes OF wealth or inherited pow
eT, but tho poorest laborer's vote was
70 count for as much as that OF the
millionaire. This is the essence of
"Amoricanism."
"McKinleyism" issomething very diff
ferent. Justnow itmeans thecollestion
OF large sums OF money from a small
number Of mon who were made rich
through tho Mckinley law OF 1890, aud
hope by aiding TO buy the nomination
FOR their agent, TO get still greater
wealth under his administration. The
men who have contributed TO the Nc.
Kinley corruption fund, said by Re.
publican Senator William &. Chandler
to be $3.50, 600, do 50 in the knowledge
that if the Republican party is re-
stored to power, laws viii be enacted
which viii enable them to rob the
masses by charging exorbitant prices.
Under the swindling pretense OF
protection" heavy taxes will be i'm.
posed on oil imported goods, thus Civ
ing a monopoly OF the American mar
ket to the combines and trusts which
control the production OF so many
kinds of goods. This will compel the
seventy million American consumers
to pay more for q large portion Of the
things they buy, and will mike great
fortunes for the men who own, the pro-
tected trusts.
If, as the result of the free use of
the money'given for corrupt purposes.
Major Mckinley is nominated at 81.
Louis, the campaign for his election
will be simply a repetition on q much
larger scale of the disgrsceful methods
used to nominate him. Instead OF
$3.50, 900, at least so, 500, 900 will be
wrung out of the trusts and monopo-
lies, under the promise that it, and
much more, will come back as soon as
the laws can be twisted to suit those
who put up the cash. A machine rep
resenting the interests of wealth will
buy votes and debauch whole States.
Doodle will be king, and the fat-fryers
will be his high priests. Instead of
an election by the whole people the
votes cast for Mckinley will,be the
price of National dishonor.
1t ought to be clear to every Amer
ioan that the practices on which Nc
Kinley relies for his election are not
only disgraceful but are contrary to
the letter and spirit OF our Republi-
can institutions. For small body
of monopolists and trust millionaires
to usurp the powers which properly
belong to the whole people, is treason
pure and simple. Shall it go unre-
buked by true Americans?
