"If the debt which the banking COM
panies owe be blessing to anybody, it is
to themselves alone, who are realizing a
solid interest of eight or ten per cent OIL
it. AS to the public the companies have
banished all our gold and silver medium
which before their institution we had
without interest, instead of which they
have given us two hundred millions of
froth and bubble on which we are to paw
them heavy interest
These are some of the opinions left BY
Jefferson, the greatest champion of the
cause of the people this country ever
produced.
How marvelously we'll he described the
arrogance and greed of the banks, which
is inherent in their nature, and the danger
they always present to popular govern
ment and the liberty of the people. In
place of taking the government "out" of
the banking business his advice was that
the government should assume that func-
ton, and if either should go out it is the
private banking corporations. At all
events the government should assume the
sole Prerogative of issuing all of the cir
culating medium.
The Peoples Party of today stands on
the money question exactly on the ground
occupied by Jefferson, and if the Demo
cratic party hopes TO contiue it must take
and hold the ground occupied by Jeffer-
son, who they claim founded the party.
Jackson was equally explicit with JEFF
ferson on the financial question and op-
posed to the usurpations of bankers.

LITTLE THIN IS.

Little things are Ofte! the hard
est thing. 1t is comparatively
easy to do a MOmentary deed OF
daring that will startle every
BODY; it is not SO easy to do little
deeds OF quiet courage from day
to day, unheeded by all and un>
llee@ing all. Perhaps you are not
called to do the great deed. But
YOU are called every day to do
the little deeds, which more sure
lv wear out life and strength IN
the long run. BE glad that you
are called t. this; for this is the
harder task, and he who is faith
ful here, will not be ulfaithful
in the easier great things.
Not every one knows good ad-
vice when he sees it. Most often
the best advice does not tell a
pcrsol in direct language just
what he ought to DO, and how lie
ought to do it. Good advice
ought usually make one think
before he acts. This helps to de-
vrloped the whole man, by treat
ing him as a rational being IL
stead of making a machine OF
him. Show man who needs
advice what the condition of his
case is, What results are likely to
show themselves in the event of
certain courses Of action, and
then let him choose what zhe
will 10.

TALMAGE ON TREATY.
AN ELOQUENT PRAYER FOR
PEACE.

DR.. 7. De Witt Talmage, in
his Sunday morning sermon, re-
ferred to the arbitration treaty
in the following language:
The mightiest, grandest move
ment for driving brutal war out
of the earth dates from Jan. II,
1897. The men who, On either
side of the sea, did most to effect
that plan of arbitration have
made themselves immortal. The
evening of the present Admins
tration of the United States Gov
ernment has been honored with
the gladdest event of eighteen
centuries. All civilized nations
will copy the sublime example.
I implore the illustrious Sen
ate of the United States to allow
nothing to interfere with a vote
of ratification, that the bells of
all Christendom may ring out
"Peace on earth, good will to
men"
Senators, many of you my per
sonal friends, let me say that
this is the opportunity Of your
lives. BY emphatic and enthu-
siastic vote rise 20 the sp!endor
of the occasion and win the ia
vor of all the good of earth and
the Almighty of Heaven. Let
the "Aye" of our American Sen
ate resound through all the cap
itals of Europe and make all the
arsenals and armories of the
world hear that theresszshall be
no more murder among nations.
The worst thing you can do
for a man is to kill him. The
best thing you can do for a man
is to save him.

On Tues lay afternoon the

OIL Mobile river, caught fire, and
was totally consumed, there be>
ing no appliances sufficient to
cope with the flames. They
spread to the dry kilns and it was
also consumed, with a large
quantity of lumber both i'll the
kilns, and i'll the yard. The saw
mill was saved. The plant was
valued at about $4,000, and
was insured for about SIS 900.
During the progress of the fire
sparks were carried by strong
wind to the city powder magaz-
inc, near by, and the citizens of
Mobile were alarmed at 5 o'clock
by the report of a tremendous
explosion, which, shook many
buildings, and broke window
panes in the northern part of the
city.
There were $4,000 pounds of
powder and 800 pounds. of

inc. The air in the vicinity was
filled with flying bricks, and a
number of cottages were. blown
to pieces by the terrific explo>

NOT A WIDOW AFTER ALL
AFTER TEN YEARS MOURNING
MRS. THOMPSON DISCOVERS
HER HUSBAND.

For about ten years Mrs
Hannah Thom pson, of V:neland
N. J., has believed herself a wild
ow. She had not seen her hus~
hand. John Thompson, for twen-
ty years. Now she has just
learned that he is alive and pros
porous, and the matter of the
discovery is one OF the most Gu
rious features of the odd story.
One day, twenty years ago,
John Thompson said: "Wife,
times are hard; cannot get work
here and l have decided to go to
Australia and seek my fortune. B"
John settled up his business,
arranged a home for his wife and
children, and one bright Sums
mer morning, after promising to
send for them as sOou as fortune
smiled upon him, he said goods
bye and started off with his grip.
The couple corresponded con~
stantly until ten years ago, when
Mrs Thompson received her last
letter from her husband, i'll which
he said that he was about to ell
bark for home by way of En-
gland, where he wished to visit
relatives. Day after day the
wife waited in vain for the glad
moment of her husbands return.
AS the years rolled by and
brought no tidings from him she
began to fear that he had been
shipwrecked on his voyage to
England.
Recently Mrs. Thomason ap>
piled for a widows penson, her
husband having been wounded
in the late war. A few days ago
she received word from the Pen
sion Bureau that her application
had been rejected on the grounds
of no title, the soldier being alive
and having himself lately filed
an application for a pension.
Thompson is now living at
Kingston, New South Wales,
Australia, and is said to be a
prosperous farmer, Mrs '7homp-
son and her two daughters are
elated over the news that the
husband and father is alive, and
will write him.

A TEN DAYS SLEEP.
AND THE YOUNG WOMAN DOES
NOT SHOW SIGNS OF
AWAKENING.

Charlotte P1ttilla. the youns
hat trimmer at Danbury, Conn.
whose long period OF uncon'
sciousness is attracting medical
attention, has entered her tenth
day of continuous sleep without
giving any indication of return
ing consciousness.
The most surprising feature of
the case is the remark lble vital
lty which the girl has. She HIS
been practically without nourisll- :
lnent since she became uncon-
scious in the hat factory where
she was at work, yet she IS in
such good physical condition to-
day that medical opinion is that
she will eventually awake and
recover entirely from her ail~
1nent, whatever it is.
At times when efforts are made
to arouse her, she appears to be
sensible to pain, but at other
times she remains III perfect
stupor Her family believes
that she is conscious of what is
transpiring around her but has
no power to express herself or to
move.
The doctors are not able to
determine whether this is SO or
not, neither have they been able
to decide the cause of the girls
condition. Her relatives believe
the reprlmand OF d factory fore>
man caused the trance. He is
said to have scolded her Just be
fore she became afflicted with
the peculiar malady.

Senator Pritchard, i'll a speech
after his election, said to his
"Populist friends who had stood
by him i'll this trying ordeal
that they would never have
cause to regret their action
that he stood where he did two
years ago; that he would i'll fiji
ture as i'll past, keep every
pledge; that his victory means
much for the Republican party
i'll the nation; that with a pro
tective tariff prosperity would
return.
Governor Russell then spoke,
saying that he was not one of
those who believed the Senat>
orial conflict betW cen Populist
and Republican parties will be
in any way disa ,trous to those
policies which they haue desired
to carry out. BY this he means

Congressman Skinner, then
spoke, declaring that the Popu

done the best deed they had
ever done for Republican;sn
and the cause Of humanity; that
it would not disintegrate the
Populist party; that the Repub>
licans ought to be given absolute
power to bring prosperity to the
people; that Populism had now
bound Pritchard to its cause;
that if in four years protection
didn't bring prosperity, Prit>
chard would walk out Of the
next national convention and
take North Carolina with him
as Teller did Colorado.

CriainaE Observations.

\ stitch in time saves many
yards of thread.
No words Of slander ever fell
from wagon tongue.
Nature puts up many parcels,
but few contain prizes.
The cabbage head never suf,
fcrs with the brain fever.
They stop Staying even

A bill deferred until to morrow
often drives a man to borrow.
A wood stove is not made of
wood, neither is a sponge cake
made of sponges.
A religion that could adapt its
self to all kinds of business would
find many votaries.
The cod>liver oil industry is
said to be languishing. Another
case of overproduction and lack
of consumption.
The men who advertise in the

BURNED To DEATH.
Sixteen Orphans Cremated at
Their Asylum Near
Dallas, Texas,
Horrible Beyond Description.
NINE OTHERS WHO ESCAPEI
CREMATION INJURED AND
THREE WILL DIE.

Last Saturday, the 10th. the
Buckner Orphans Home. locat,
ed near Dallas, Texas, was com
pletely destroyed by fire. Six
teen children were cremated, and
nine injured, three of them fa-
tally. The fire was discovered
about midnight. Mrs. Britton,
the boys matron, had been in
bed some time when she was
suddenly awakened by smell of
smoke. She jumped to the floor
but found it so hot she could not
stand on it, and she Immediately
raised the cry of fire. The at
taches were hastily aroused and
sent in all directions to arouse
the children.
Such was Mrs. Britton's ankle
ty for the safety of the inmates
that she forgot her own children,
and despite her frantic efforts at
rescue they were burned to
death.
The fire is believed to have
originated in the room under
that occupied by Mrs Britton.
Before Mrs. Britton retired for
the night she had the boys clean
out and prepare stove situated
i'll the room just under her for
the morning fire. She then sent
one of the largest boys to see if
the work had been properly
done. He reported that every
thing was all right, but it is be>
!ieved some live Goals were scat
tered on the carpet near the
stove, which ignited and soon
spread to the woodwork. The
building was of wood and the
fire communicated to its various
wings with increditable rapidity.
The children were hastily arous-
ed and hurried out of the build
ing, wrapped in their night
clothes and bed quilts.
All were badly frightened ,and
when the shrieks of those who
were being cremated in the roar
ing mass of flames reached their
ears they became almost unnan-
ageable, and were with ifi Guilty
prevented from rushing into the
fire in an effort at rescue.
The building was soon de-
stroyed, and at daylight the work
of searching the ruins was taken
up. All the farmers in the vicin-
ity turned out and assisted in
making coffins, digging graves,
etc. There were I47 boys and
more than 100 girls in the home,
but all arc accounted for.
The home is ten miles from
Dallas, aud it would have been
impossible to get aid out in time
had it been requested.

former statements and blamed
Joiner, but admitted that he was
