In a large, commodious house at No. 104
Huntington Street, Cleveland, Ohio, lives
Mrs. Emily A. Strope, widow of the late Y. NJ.
Strope, and she is the mother of a young man
who has been, and is now one Of this city's
successful and energetic pharmacists. Mrs.
Strope, who has lately recovered from serious
cardiac difficulty, when questioned by a re-
porter regarding her late illness, stated as
follows:
1.-TWO years ago, ! had my first experience
with Dr. Williams Pink Pills For long
time was troubled with an ailment which
feared would eventually drive me crazy unless
/ rid myself of it. 1t will sound strange, no
doubt, tosome, but my heart did not beat as it
should. Its action was irregular. There
would be tive pulsations, or perhaps three, and
then sudden cessation. Myheart seemed to
rest for the period of one or two beats, and
then resume its action. Sometimes such
lapas wond not be so frequent as that, but
scarcely day passed that they did not occur.
II felt as though something would strike the
heart with great force, and push it out of
place. During that period, whenever ! lay
down to sleep or rest, my hands would become
perfectly numb and helpless. Icould feel the
temporary paralysis coming over them, but
could do nothing which would prevent it. My
feet were affected in like manner, and had
considerable difficulty in walking when such a
spell had possession of me. Naturally that
state of faflairs completely upset my nerves, and
any one whose nervous system is well nigh

The Issue,

The question Is being asked: What
shall the platform of the Democra-
cy be for the coming State contest!
We speak only for the good of the
Democratic party when we say that
the platform should be short and
sweet. Already we hear of Demo
Gratis who last fall were mislead into
boiling the regular ticket, but who
are now willing to come back upon
terms which seem reasonable and
just. BY simply reaffirming the
principles enumerated at Chicago,
without q lengthy and tiresome repe-
tition of each plank, but reiterating
word for word the money plank, and
condemning the Dingley bill, with
proper treatment of Bushnell's mis-
management, what more is desired.
We hear gold Democrats, (whatever that
name may mean), saying that they are
willing to s'chance it" on the silver ques-
ton. Like ex x.Governor Campbell once
said, they are willing to risk it.
They must have come excuse for coming
back, and SO long as we are gamers thereby
why should we drive them further away?
We do not counsel one backward step
but it is patent to everybody that there are
many people who would have voted fol
Bryan last fall II one or two planks IN thu
Chicago platform had been omitted
We believe in every plank of that great
document, but doubt the necessity of put
ting them all in another platform. Tht
money issue is greater than all of the othe
issues together, and by ladhering to it W
cannot fail. Read the speeches now belnI

emphatically. 1t is not the people who
do not purchase any Of the various So
called harmless drinks, that are the
ones to fall into the habit of buying
intoxicating ones. The danger line
is approached from the other direc-
ton, and it is often crossed as an I'M
known line because so many of these
drinks do contain certain per cent.
OF alcohol. At the same time there
Is no reason why temperance people
should not have their cooling, refresh

The necessity in everv case being,
to be sure that they are pure, that they
do not contain alcohol.
The writer of the letter quoted says
he was assured that there was nothing
intoxicating in the ingredients. Here
in lies the fallacy. The materials when
sold may have no more alcohol in
them than apples or grapes, but put
them together according to the direc-
tions for making the beer and alcohol

knowledge of chemistry to know that
sugar and water iermented with yeast
form alcohol. We would advise hon

pert; good, high school teacher will

Advertising Root Beer.

AS the warm weather comes on the
battle over root beer is reopened. Tol
those who have already mastered the
subject, the renewed questions year
by year become very tiresome. While
they indicate that the most of the
world "is lying in ignorance" and
that some are not ignorant but still
lie, yet they also indicate that there
is q somewhat general awakening on
the subject Of what summer drinks,
or SO called temperance drinks, have
alcohol as an ingredient and what
have not.
Again and again The Unaon Signal
has answered questions and given
/ analyses. But as yet even church pa
i pers have not been deferred from ad-
vertising alcoholic drinks. Personal
letters have been written to many OF
them by our constituency, and in some
cases the replies have been forwarded
to US, with entreaties that we do
something to mitigrate the evil. We
have now before US sample reply

lished in Chicago, wherein the writer
says: 1--WE have your letter in re-
gard to the subject of root beer, and
thank you for the frank and kindly
expression Of your views. We made
careful inquiry before accepting the

FATHER OF THIKTY-NINE.
A Family so Large That not all of
Them are Acquainted With
One Another.
St. Louis RepublIcI

Dave Vititoe, IL years old, ma
larlal patient at the City HOSPITAL, is
blessed fa- beyond the average NOR
tai in the ties of blood. He Is much
oefamiled. In fact, though Dave is
acquainted with most of his brothers
and sisters, there are two or three to
whom he has never received an intro
duction. When 1t is known that the
children of his father, wealthy farm
er and horse trainer in Breckenridge
county, Ky, numbered at last reports
80, this circumstance will not seem
remarkable.
The elder Vititoe has been three
times married. His Oldest son is Al
years of age. That is also the age of
his present wife, the mother Of Dave
by whom he has had % children.
There are l3 children younger than
Dave. Dawes private opinion is that
the total number of children Is 40, as
he has not heard from home for some
time.
OF this immense family, 81 child
ren, according to Dawes best recollec-
ton, are now alive. Just how many
are boys and how many girls he is
not able to say, but he is convinced
that the boys outnumber the girls
considerably. All the boys except
the very little chaps are earning their
own living, though Dave says the old
man is In a position to support them
all should it become necessary. Most
of them are jockeys or horse trainers,
having inherited the fathers love OF
horsefesh and having, as Dave says,
"grown up with the colts in the sta
ble." Three OF them, Dave, Joe and
HuntSk are connected with the St.
Louis Fair Association.
One remarkable feature of this i'm
mense family is that there has never
been duplicate birth. There are no
twins, trlplets or other combinations.
Dave is dark skinned, curly headed,
handsome boy, light of frame, as is
necessary for jockey, and yet SEEM
ingly very rugged. He came to the
hospital thr,e days ago suffering from
chills.
All the boys statements regarding
the remarkable size of his family are
fully suostained by S. NJ. Ross, an
other patient, cigar maker, whose
address is 1901 Washington avenue,
but whose home is in Louisville. He
knows the father and many of the
sons oe this remarkable family and
knows the total number of children
to be 80, as represented. He and
Dave occasionally engaged in discus
sions as to the name of some member
of the Vititoe family OF whom they
may have occasion to speak. Dave
says he has met all his brothers and
sisters save three, who live in Louis
vile.

McKinleyism and the gold standard.
Mr.. Bryan's prediction that "those who
will not be convinced by arguments will be
| converted by experience" is being verified
day by day. The business community is be
ginning to learn by experience that the
money question is as much a traders ques-
tion as it is banker'f question.
Experience has opened the eyes and en-.
lightened the minds of many a business
man whose shelves remain stocked for want
of buyers. Buyers are as scarce "a money.
They begin to see that money buys the
goods, and that confidence is not medium
of exchange.
The truths now being taught by the
hard school of experience are making con-
verts by the thousands. 1t is business
mans business to study the subject of BIZ
metalism. II affects him as mut h as it does
the farmer, lnborer or mechanic. He is one
of the most dependent of men. He must
depend almost entirely on the farmer, la
borer or mechanic for the sales of his wares.
He cannot depend on his bank. If he does,
before long the bank will close him up. In
short, all will admit that the money ques.
tion is paramount and pre-eminent and
should be the controlling plank.
Now, then, with al! this admitted, the can
didate should fit the platform and the plat
form should fit the candidate. We should
nominate man who can and will hurl de-
hance at the foreign enemy--the gold stand

He must not be a barrel candidate in Or
der to be consistent with the issus. He
must be man of the people, whose ideas

He should be man of brains rather than of
money, and of courage and ability to make
the kind of a campaign that is required in a
battle where the people are arrayed on the
one side and she syndicates, trusts and COM
bines on the other.
