The Information Supplied BY
This Barber Will Prove Of
lnestimable Value in This
Vicinity.

When the striped pole or sign, which now
indicates barber shop, was employed to let
the public know where cupping or blood
letting was professionally performed, close
shaves were daily occurrence-not the easy
removal OF the hirsute or hairy adornment
OF the head and face, but close shaves from
entering eternity. More than one unfortu.
nate entered the barber-surgeon' doorway
to leave it corpse or so weak that weeks
were required to get the victim of NAL
practice on his feet. Blood-letting was used
for everything from heartache to corn, and
pain in the loins was invariably treated
with two incisions-one on each side Of the
spine. Like plasters and liniments, these
helped from the counter irritation they
created, and we may presume that had Mr..
]. M. Townsend. head barber in Bliss
barber shop, in the Bank Building, Lebanon,
NH, lived in the time Of George ILL.,, of
England, in place Of taking the course he did
short time ago with his back, blood
letting would have been resorted to. Read
how he treated his trouble: "My kidneys
have been weak and sore ever since rails

on me and injured my back in some way.
There was dull, aching pain over my loins,
especially if l over-exerted myself in any
way, or stopped or lifted. / could not lie
on my back on account of the pain, and a
urinary weakness, very annoying, followed.
l saw Doan's Kidney Pills advertised and SO

drug store. They helped the pain in my
back and relieved the urinary weakness.

Unauthentic Portraits of Franklin.

1t seems the height of absurdity to
look upon the so called "Sumner Por-
trait of Franklin at Twenty" belonging
to Harvard university, as an authentic
portrait. Where did Franklin, who was
grubbing for funds to carry him home
at the time this picture is supposed to
have been painted, get the money for
the purple and fine linen" in which he
Is arrayed, let alone to pay the artist
for his work? Aside from franklin 8 cir
cumstances being against its authentic
ity, his Autobiography" is silent upon
so important a subject as this portrait,
and its history is purely mythical.
Another picture that has no better
claim to be considered likeness Of Ben
jamin Franklin hangs in the Metropoli-
tan Museum Of Art and was painted by
Stephen Elmer, an English still life
painter. There is nothing to show that
it was given the name of Franklin until
1924, when plate engraved by Ryder
and published in 1889, as 1.-THE Politi-
cian," was relettered and issued with
the name of Franklin.
The last picture to be mentioned in
this expurgatorial list is of the first i'm
portance as work Of art. TWAS paint
ed by Thomas Gainsborough and is in
the collection Of the Marquis Of Lands
downe, but it is clearly not Benjamin
Franklin. 1t is, in my opinion, the por-
trait Of Governor William Franklin

was a boy Of good native ability, al
though by no means hard student So
perfect was his sense of honor that, in
the numerous cabals which were often

Grant Drilling tho Homo militia.

Grant left West Point in midsummer
and spent his furlough in Bethel and
Georgetown. He was invited by the off,
GERS Of the militia to drill the troops at
general muster, which took place at
Russelsville during August of 1874.
William Wilson and Peter Wamax are
two Of the few witnesses living who re-
member the splendid occasion.
It impressed itself intellectually on
young Wilson'S mind because it seemed
wonderful, even revolutionary, to see O
young lad such as Cadet Grant looked,
ordering the pompous old officers about.
"He looked very young, very slender
and very pale.
"He was dressed in a long blue coat,
with big epaulets and big brass buttons,
and his trousers seemed to be white,
though they may have been a light gray.
He wore cap and red sash around his
waist, and he rode his horse in fine style.
II was particularly struck with his
voice--that is, his way Of using it. The
old men barked out their commands.
You couldn't tell what they said. Noise
seemed to be their idea Of command,
but Grants voice was clear and calm
and cut across the parade ground with
great precision. 1t was rather high in
pitch, but it was trained. 1 could tell
that, though was only boy. Ham

The Democrat party of Maryland has
got to plant itself firmly on the Populist
platform of Chicago and St. Louis or go
under the gold ring contingent of the
Republican party that is endeavoring to
make a diversion, organized as the
National" Democrat party, and figure
headed by the ancient aristocracy which
pulled itself together in this State out of
the ante-bellum slavery democracy ruins.
The Sun is using its best effors to estab-
lish in Maryland such a fossilized party
and it behooves the Peoples party ele-
rnent to get together and make it authori-
tatively known that they stand with the
solidity of Greek phalanX or Roman
legion against any such dead and alive
political nondescript, a corpse carried in
sedan chair.
The founders of the Peoples party
ceased following the blind leaders of the
blind and went back to the philosophy OF
Thomas Jefferson which places humanity
above powers and principalities and the
rights Of man above the rights of money;
and to Andrew Jackson who denounced
the tyranny, despotisn and political
meddling of the bank power, as the
greatest danger that the people should
fear and fight TO the death. This is the
position the Peoples party occupies, and
all that are not for these principles the
party will oppose,

The Tariff bill was reported to the
Senate Tuesday and notice given that it
would be called up for consideration On
May IS. 1t was thought the bill would
be held in the Finance Committee for at
least two days, butt was found that Sen
ator Jones, of Nevada, who held the bal
ance of power, was in accord with the
Republicans for an early report. The
Democrats had agreed that the bill
should be reported whenever a majority
vote could be obtained, so there was prac-
tically no opposition to taking it imme-
diately into the Senate. Opinions vary
as to the length of time the bill will be
debated in the Senate; Republicans say
four weeks and the Democrats six. The
changes made by the Senate Committee
are so numerous and so radical that a
protracted struggle over the differences
between the two Houses will likely occur
when the bill reaches Conference Com
mittee.

The War in Greece.

Reports about the war situations are
conflicting. One report says the Turkish
commander in Thessaly has asked for an
armistice of five days; according to
another, an armistice already exists by
the tacit acquiescence Of both command
ers, while third story describes the
Turks as only awaiting reinforcements
for an attack upon Pharsala, to be follow
ed by an attack upon Volo.
The Turkish army is advancing in
three columns OH Pharsala, while an
additional column is operating in the
direction of Volo.
The decision of the new Greek Min
istry seems to be in favor of a continuance
of the war
The Greek Premier is negotiating to
secure the intervention of France, Russia
and Great Britain in favor of all armis-
tice.
1t is believed in Coastantinople that
the war with Greece will soon end. 1t is
held that the sccesses attained by the
Turkish troops are all the Porte could
desire, yet the preparations for war show
no signs of abatement.
1t is stated that Volo is not occupied by
the Turks, and that the Greeks have de-
cided to concentrate their forces there
and make stand.
M. Ralli, the Greek Premier said
Tuesday that the front line of the Greek
army at Pharsala was in battle array and
the Turkish attack imminent. He said
that all the preparations possible had been
made for heroic defence, and the spirit of
the army was much better than before
The Ministers of War aud the Interior
have returned to Athens from Pharsala,
and it is understood that as result of
their inquiry the war will be discontinued.
1t is rumored in the Greek camp at Phar-
sala that peace will soon be proclaimed.
On the other hand, there is report that
the Greek Cabinet has resolved to con-
tinue the war.
The Intervention of the Powers has
been rendered to Greece, but the Govern
ment has reserved its reply.
Turkey has decided to increase her
army i'll the European provinces to
10000 men in order to be prepared for
all emergencies.
simultaneously with the attack at Veles-
tino Wednesday, the Turks attacked the
Greek outposts at Tatar Both attacks
were repulsed.
1t is said there has been great slaughter
at Pharsala, where the battle is still pro.
ceeding.
Six divisions of Turkish troops have
marched forward to Pharsala, and it is
understood that the Porte has given
Edhem Pasha free hand
1t is stated that crown Prince Constau-
tin ordered Larissa to be burned previous
to evacuating the place, but there was no
time to carry out his instructions.
The above is in brief the mixed ac-
counts of the Greeco-Turkish war that
appear from day to day. 1t reads like
puzzle.
