At the monthly meeting Of the Jeffer-
son County Medical Society, held in Du-
Bois last Friday, the prominent topic
discussed was anthrax. DR.. James
Hoffman, the veterinarian of Brook
vile, who held the post mortem exami-
nation on the Gricks cow that died in
this place Of anthrax, was present and
exhibited slides under the microscope
showing sections Of the liver and spleen
Of the COW above mentioned. The an
thrax baccilli and spores were so plainly
visible that the doctors agreed that it
was anthrax. The society decided that
the cases at Falls Creek were anthrax
and that they were caused by infection
from hides.

He said we could not tell the rich lady

alike, the poor living beyond her means
because she wanted to dress as we'll
as her neighbor, etc. And he said many
other things too numerous to mention,
though he wanted us to take it down

was that we would have better times II
people would be more free in lending
money. He argued that II q man

The Pittsburg Chamber OF Commerce
has taken up the matter Of cheaper ex-
cursions from this section to Pittsburg,
and we think II is step In the right
direction. The Allegheny Valley Rail-
way, the only road our people can reach
Pittsburg on, has never been noted for
real cheap excursions, and In late years
the cheap excursions to Pittsburg grow
less. One year the A. v. R'y run ex-
cursion to Pittsburg as low as $40
for the round trip and they were we'll
patronized. For several years excursion
tickets have been sold each Wednesday
during the Exposition at $40 or s4.6O

R'y has only announced two excursions
during the entire time Of Exposition,
and that is to-day, September Goth, and
two weeks from to-day. October 18th,
and the rate for these excursions is &4.45,
including admission to the Exposition.

pecially with Turkey. Therefore. the Brit
ish government will make no independent
demand that the Sultan shall evacuate
Thessaly. 1t will not lead in any movement
to suppress the Turk, even If he should con-
clude to occupy the whole of Greece. Great
Britain will permit the Turk to become
insolent, not because it does not care, but
because it is in no position TO interfere.
The wonder now is that every intelligent
Englishman did not comprehend the situa-
ton and quietly sustain Lord Salisbury in
stead of applauding the indignant rhetoric
of Mr. Gladstone. The fact that the Brit
ish press has become silent regarding the
course the Sultan is pursuing may be ac-
copied as an indication that the British
people begin to see what Lord Salisbury
saw when the Cretan troubles began, and
to learn that his policy of noninterference
was dictated by wisdom as well as pru-
dence. Now that the jubilee is over, we
may hear more of Great Britain's embar-
easements in India, which the famine has
increased.

TROUBLES OF IT'S OWN.

Those who watch the drift of events in
Europe must at this time begin TO see
that Lord Salisbury knew what he was
about when he declined to commit Great
Britain to an independent and aggressive
policy against Turkey. Many were carried
away by the able protest and vehement de-
nunciation of Mr.. Gladstone against the
course of his political opponents in the
Ministry because they acted with the other
powers in not preventing the Turks from
making war upon the Greeks after the lat
ter had opened their feeble hostilities. Mr..
Gladstone's effort was very fine and very
stimulating. If Great Britain had been in
a position to assail Turkey as Mr.. Glad
stone assumed, his rhetoric and the in
dignation of his applauders would have
been timely. AS British statesman. Mr..
Gladstone must have known that Great
Britain was in no position to punish the
"unspeakable Turk" The Turk knew that
this was the case, and being backed by
Germany and Russia, he has not concealed
his indifference TO any course which the
British government may decide to pursue,
powers, Great Britain Will not make war
with Turkey or demand even the evacua-
ton of Thessaly. AS mistress of the seas,
England could lombard Constantinople, but
Turkey has half a million of the best sol
diers in the world
The weak point of England in war with
Turkey is India. Even during the joyous
season of the jubilee reports have been re-
ceived from India which are said to cause
deep anxiety. A large part of the natives
of India being Mohammedans, who would
regard a war between England and Turkey
as a religious war, the fanaticism of thar
faith would in all probability cause them
to rise to- help the Sultan. who in GER
tain sense, is the representative OF that re-
ligious creed among the natives. An as
sault upon Turkey would be regarded by
more than a sixth OF India as an assault
upon Northumberland. At time when
the spirit OF revolt seems to be rife in
India to arouse the fierce Mohammedans
worid cause rebellion which might sweep

distant country. OF all the governments in

The stepmother has found a champion
in the person of Vice Chancellor Gray, of
New Jersey. In a divorce case which came
before him the wife was charged with ex-
treme cruelty, the cruelty consisting of a
violent display Of temper on several occa-
sions where the husband took sides against
her in disputes which she had with his
children by a former wife. The vice chan
cellor refuses to regard such manifestations
of temper as cruelty, but does intimate
that it was bad taste on the part of the
man to select such a termagan for his
wife He declines to grant the divorce and
presents his views of a husbands duty in
vigorous fashion. when a woman marries
a man." he says, "she does not marry his
children. When man marries he agrees
that he will prefer his wife before he will
consider his children. This he undertakes
by the mere act of marriage, and even if
they may be right and the wife wrong the
husband undertakes that he will stand by
the wife and be her helpmeet and adviser
to maintain her in her position. AS her
husband he should not take sides with his
children and condemn her for hasty or ILL
advised speech or action He should sup
port her as the mistress of her household
even if she may err and be unduly energetic
or even violent at times" If New Jersey
ever has equal suffrage, Vice Chancellor
Gray can count upon the solid support of
second wives and stempmothers when he
comes I'D for office.

thl nas urged by the Financier for the rea-
son that a report in which Congress had no
part in making would stand but little
chance Of adoption. and we are pleased to
see that this view is gaining ground;
Whether the work of the commission will
be noticeaby improved through the addi-
ton Of these members is a question that IS
open to debate, but looking at the matter
in a commonsense way ii must be con-
coded that a report which stands some
chance of adoption is to be preferred TO
one that might be rejected without con-
sideration.
What the commission viii do is OF
course, altogether problematlcal. There are
reasons for believing, however, that the ad-
ministration will have policy which may
receive some attention. Secretary OF the
Treasury Lyman j. Gage IL is known, has
been paying a great deal Of attention or
late to the reform or our currency system,
and the points which he considers funda-
mental to the whole plan have been sub
mitted to leading tinanciers and other for
study and suggestion. The points covered
by the secretary have not been made public
but his we'll known record a banker
and student Of current financial affairs leads
to the supposition that he will favor the
entire separation or the treasury Depdl1-
ments. of issue and disbursements and the
adoption of n currency which viii enable
local sections TO transact their business

This is the only practical bimetallsm, be-

silverites would agree to such proposition
the money question, so far as gold and sill
yer are concerned, could be settled easily.
The report that Ex-Governor Boies had

A Morning in June.

I look DER silvery fields of rye,
To where the distant, purple hills
Are set against the pale blue sky
TIE valleys rim is moist and bright,
And silently it's great bowl fills
With the warm, golden wine OF light
l hear the cat-birds matin song,
And where the ruby cherries glow
The noisy jays and blackbirds throng.
With glossy sides and udders clean,
The quiet cows from milking go
To pleasant slopes of pastures green.
Rank after rank the martial corn,
With FURNISHED helms and spears and greaves
Comes jeveled from the tents of Morn
The clouds move slow; idle breeze
Romps htfuly among the leaves
That crown the lofty maple trees.
The chords of earth are touched, and thrill
Beneath the Masters hand, and own
Obedience to His gracious WILL
And all around, below, above,
H. ever swelling. deepening tone,
L hear the melody of love.
