The danger of a mans trusting to

Illustration of a serious matter in Chica-
go. DR.. Youan. HISTORIAN of Persia,
does not approve of the way that Presi-
dent Andrews. among other Americans
has generalized in regard to Turkish
atrocities and Christian missions. No
man can understand any land as well
by travelling through it as the man who
has lived in it. and known that foreign
ers' impressions are not trustworthy.
For example, DIR. Youan says that after
two months in Chicago he should have
reported in his own country. with all
honesty Of purpose. that. 1.-The Baptist

"Pabst Beer" The general resem-

1t was two months before he saw his
absurd mistake. DR.. Youan declares
that while the Mohammedan teacher of
temperance. AL Boak, was as Jealous a
teetotaler as Neal Dow or Frances Will
lard. it does not follow that the Mo-
hammedans follow his precepts in this
regard. and DR.. Youan has seen as
many drunken Mohammedans as Chris

temperance. The work of missionaries
in the East has doubtless been too much
slurred of late. There is something of
a heavenly cosmopolitanism in hearing
that a HISTORIAN of Persia in Chicago
has said among other good things that
under missionary teaching the people
of his province are learning to look
upon women as they should. In conse-

the town needs and evidently has some
negative soul in mind when it says:
Surprising New Bedford and Salem
should have been years ago content to
have said, "Oh we are shipbuilders
and whalers. The sea is our vocation.
We know nothing about manufacture
ing!" Surprising before the first shoe
factory was introduced into either Au-
burn, Lynn or Brockton, the people of
each had declined to try shoemaking
because it was not their vocation"
To the deuce with vocation. Many a
man out Of the pulpit is as good
preacher as any in it!
1t is apparent from the communica-
ton, published elsewhere, Of a Massa-
chusetts sportsman that he does not
consider Names game laws any too
stringent. On the contrary what he
fears is any relaxation in the present
stringency.
AS the jails begin to fill up with the
human parasites. who tramp and live
all summer by begging and stealing,
and seek warm and comfortable quar-
tiers and good food in the winter, the
suggestions Of remedies are in order.
Is there not something these men can
be made to do to relieve their indolent
life of some of it's enervating effects,
if not to make their existence more
endurable to the world? Where there

portunity for a treadmill If no useful
employment can be provided. A
Lewiston official sees no reason why
the hoboes in Androscoggin Jail should

Auburn furnish to their poor. Then
there is work upon the roads to do
and why should not these lazy mortals
be made to do it, This man also thinks

ment for some Of the able bodied buns.
Pass along the suggestions. Some
good may come of them and remedy

Gomez is preparing for active work. It
is known that he has transferred the
officers of the government who were
with him past the eastern trocha into
Maguey for safety, making the seat Of
government far from Weyler's head
quarters. The trocha was passed near
La Redona without let or hinderance,
save a running fight for an hour or so
with small scattering bands of Spanish
guerrillas.
General Gomez has over 5000 good
soldiers now, and he has notified Presi-
dent Cisneros that he intends topush the
| Spanish general a little. 1t is known
| that Gomez has placed a force back of
Weyler, much to the latter's discomfit-
| ure, and that orders have been given
that sugar makers who grind will do so
at their peril, as the insurgents will
burn all plantations where his orders
have been disobeyed.
| A severe fight occurred between some
of General Gomez's bands and a de-
/
