The Christian"
Mrs. ELIZA FROST.

Hall Gaines new book is not so great
as it is surprising. 1t teens with surprises.
Its hero, John Storm, was born too good
for this world, and found it out be-
fore his life progressed through many
chapters. He loved God and one woman,
and the author leaves US in doubt, by his
Kaleidoscope changes of situation and in
cident, as to which of the two John Storm
loved best. The girl, Glory-charming crea-
ture after long contact with the rough
world, makes grand remuneration and
marries John Storm on his death-bed.
Game gives us two types of the wealthy so
ciety man-Drake,a generous, high-spirited
fellow, who loved Glory fully as much as
did John Storm, true as steel, making the
reader wish, in spite OF himself, that this
noble young man could win the heroine
for his wife land Lord Urea scoundrel and
roltroon, the most despicable character in
the novel that cause keen heartpangs to
the sympathetic reader-Euch as Glorys
retirement from the stage which she so
splendidly honored and brakes failure to
kill Lord Robert when he strikes him in
the concert hall. 1t is a wonderful book,
because it takes complete possession Of
your emotions, masters you, leads you
where it will. makes you feel-sharing the
joys and the sorrows of its superbly hui
man creations. But there is a harshly
false note at the cIose-the marriage Of
Storm, dying, and Glory, penitent.
Throughout the story, the author firmly
fixes US to the belief that Drake should be

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED.

There was some indication in the
not distant past, that Brunswick was
to have warm municipal campaign
year. There were rumors of the
coming sensational exposes. a redhot
newspaper to scatter editorial bomb
shells all over the camp of the ad-
ministration, an annihilation to all
existing political organizations and
the substitution of new ones, the GUST
ing of the entire city administration,
and other direful things that would
make hot times in the old town and
no mistake.
Strange to relate, however, the cam
paign to date has consisted only of
two desultory meetings, the unfurling
of misspellsd banner, and the at
tendance of an agent at the registra-
ton window.
Just what has happened to cause the
sudden subsldence of the whirlwind of
reform Is a oonjectural matter. The
leaders of the movement claimed that
they had full stock of ammunition
and had the fight whipped before it
began. But something has evidently
occurred. The people have seen
neither the paper, the platform nor
the ticket.
1t Is almost unnecessary to suggest
that the real trouble with the reform
ers is the loss of confidence in their
strength. They have, of course,
mingled with the public to some ex-
tent and gathered the news of voters
in regard to the threatened contest.
1t didn't require any great amount of
discernment on their part to discover
that public sentiment was overwhelm-
ingly against them. They learned that
the great majority of the people were
in sympathy with the present admin
istration, and approved of its good
work. They saw in the registration
list the unmistakable chIrography of
their warrant of doom.
Consequently, it is not SO surpris-
ing, after all, that the "Good Govern
ment" campaign has been only a
flicker. The banner remains as
solemn reminder of the glory that was
and the gloom that is.

A woman never really knows the
nearing of happiness and content
until she is the mother of healthy,
happy child. The health of the child
depends on the health of the mother,
both before and after birth. Most all
of the wOman's weakness and particu-
larly the weakness that most strongly
infuencse the health eff children,
comes from some arrangement or dis
ease of the distinctly feminine organs.
DR.. Pierce's Favorlte Prescription
will cure troubles of this nature. 1t
should be taken regularly by every
woman during the entire period of
gestitatlon. 1t gives strength to all
the organs involved, lessons the pains
of CHILDBIRTH and insures the health
of bot b mother and child.

ANNOUNCEMENT.

THE TIMES this morning goes to sew
eral hundred homes of non.subscrib-
ers in this city, in the shape of free
sample copies. This is done to show
those people who do not take the pa
per regularly, just what THE TIMES is
now doing in the way of giving
Brunswick a first class morning news
paper.
THE TIMES asks all those non-sub-
scrlbers who receive copies to-day to
consider if their homes would not be
brighter and better with it as a regu-
lar visitor. In addition to the fact
that 1t is the official organ of the city
and county, thus making it indispen-
sable to all owners or agents of prop
erty, THE TIMES has a complete news
service, local, state and national, and
keeps its readers fully informed of
the progress of events.

ELECTRICITY AND SEWER GAS AS
FOES OF HUMAN LIFE.

ELECTRICITY AND SEWER GAS AS
FOES OF HUMAN LIFE,
Countless millions of human beings
today are reaping the benefit of the
marvellous ingenuity which has sub
verified the potent spirit of electricity
to the necessities of mankind. Under
proper control, the docile servItor of
the intelligence which guides 1t into
channels of usefulness, what ire
mendous power, what malignant
demon of power when that Intelligence
is relaxed, or the hand that manipu-
lates the application of the force
proves unsuccessful or is careless.
Nevertheless, electricity is a bold.
honest foe, its vengeance follows the
unfalthful workman suddenly and
surely; he does not dare to slight his
work, for destruction flashes on his
tracks, preclaiming his sinful disre-
gard of human life.
This then is an open foe to mankind,
unless properly controlled, dreaded,
guarded against, but what shall be
SAID of the unseen enemy, the one who
works in the dark, where no harm is
expected? If electricity suddenly
strikes and kills its victim, and the
electricity has an immense RESPONSE
bility in his work, has not the civilized
world an equally dangerous enemy in
sewer gas, that insidious foe which
creeps stealthilY in dark places, and
does its work Of destruction as fatally,
if less swiftly, and has not the plumb
err an equally serious responsibility :?
Unfortunately for the safety OF the
householder the unfaithful plumber
shirks his work, leaves it in the hands
of idle, unconscientious workmen, who
do what they have to do slightingly
aud carelessly. and the consequences
follow so slowly that he escapes detec-
ton more than half the time.
SO much of his work is done under
cover that it is temptation to the
Needless to be unfaithful, and to the
eyes of the uninitiated the net work

usefulness 10 about as unintelligible
and suggestive as would be an hero

clan die instantly, and the public pro-
nounces its verdict upon the spot, but

An Old Friend Heard From.

There is but one word that describes
Mark Twain's DIARY" now being pub
lished in McClure's. That word is de-
lightful. And that doesn't meet the re-
quirements. I'll call it delight-overtull,
OVERLOOKING, running over with delight, so
to speak. The original Twain pleasantly,
which so many "authors" have lost their
minds or regulations trying to initiate Is
in it and all through it. The years have not
detracted from the genius of Americas
greatest humorist, whose every joke will
live as classic for all time. Here are a
few nuggets, that contain more pure gold
than all the yields of Klondike:
"There are no people who are quite so
vulgar as the oYerrefned ones.
II never could tell lie that anybody
would doubt, nor a truth that anybody
would believe.
"Jane Austin's books, too, are absent

ers and shiftless work of the dishonest
plumber, and the physician when called
In to discover the cause OF their
trouble, unable to investigate the
root of the matter, not suspecting it
even in most cases, pronOunces it to
be malaria, which indeed it Ia. The
air they have been breathing is pois-
oned by sewer gas. Fortunately for
humanity there are honest plumbers,
however, those who fully realizing the
tremendous responsibility resting
upon them, send no workmen about
their business unless they are sure of
their unwOrthiness; feeling that life
and death rests upon their handiwork,
they see and know that the men on
whom they depend are fully compe-
tent to bear the grave burden which
they impose upon them. The electri-
clan and the plumber then hold bu-
man life In their hands about equally,
the one controlling the bold foe that
strikes straight out, suddenly, vio-
lently, and the other holding in check
the stealthy, lurking enemy that
slowly poisons its victims.
On the face of it, however, one sees
that the plumber has more to contend
with from careless workmen because
the resulting evil in their case follows
so slowly, and as a general rule they
escape detection and punishment. The
watchword Of the plumber should be
rhoroughness, and his only safeguard
ID to realize fully that he controls
hidden force as deadly as electricity,
if less swift and less apparent in its
fatal results.

SUNDAY THOUGHTS.
Bishop Phillips Brooks.l

Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of
this Lord, because they came not to
the help of the Lord against the
Mighty Judges, :23:
The sin for which Meroz is cursed is
pure inaotion. There is no sign that
its people gave any aid or comfort to
the enemy. They merely did nothing.
We hear so much abuut the danger of
wrong thinking and the danger of
wrong dOirg. There is the other
danger Of not doing right, of not think
ing right, and of not doing, and not
thIuklng at all. Whenever men hide
behind their conscious feebleness;
whenever because they can do so lit
tie, they content themselves with
doing nothing; whenever the one
talented men stand with their napkins
in their hands along the roadside of
life, there is Meroz over again.
Grant that you are as small as you
think you are, you are the
average size of moral and in
tellectual humanity. Let all the
Merozss in the land be humble like
you, and whore shall be the army?
Only when men like you wake up and
shake the paralysis of their humility
away, shall we begin to see the dawn
Of that glorious millennium for
which we sigh; which will consist not
IN the transformation of men into
angels, nor in the coming forth of a
few colossal men to be patterns and
the champions of life, but simply in
each man, through the length and
breadth OF the great world, doing his
best. A mans place is made ready for
him IN the mind of God; the mans
life is set here as positive fact; and
what comes next? There is no doubt
what ought to come. That life must
tell. 1t must 60 out beyond itself.
1t must have influence. 1t must test
ify and supplement the mere fact of
its existence by making other exist
ences be something which they would
not be without it.
All are needed by each one;
Nothinglis fair or good alone.
