Az English View Of Philadelphia.

In his readable book, THE
Land of the Dollar Mr.. G. w.
Stevens has this to say of the
City of Homes Here is the
purest Anglo-Saxon citizen body
among all the large centres.
Here is less luxury than else
where, but more comfort, and
comfort extending deeper down.
New York is a city OF Offices and
palaces Boston of Parks and
villas Washington of public
buildings and houses to let for
the season. Philadelphia is
city of homes. OF it's two humid
red thousand families it has been
estimated that seven -eighths live
in self-contained houses. who
elsewhere would be in flats or
tenements, and that three.quart-
ers OF these own the houses they
live in.
aAfter the others Philadelphia
strikes you as beyond all things
q civilized city-a city where peo-
pie sometimes have a little
leisure. Elsewhere they do
business or seek pleasure here
they live. The very names of
the streets Chestnut, Walnut.
Vine, Spruce, Pine-have a
fresh and wholesome breath
about them. 1t may be fancy.
but the women here seem pref
tier, and the men better set-up.
The New Yorker takes a tram
car to go a quarter of mile and
grows fat here the physical
type is more athletic. The richer
Philadelphians live out in the
country and ride to hounds the
poorer ride a bicycle. The typ.
ical American woman's face,
long, thin, pale, pure.eyed, like
an early Italian Madonna, is here
richer and less austre. Middle
class you may call. the place,
with its endless rows of sober
red bricks. but middle-class with
little of dowdiness and much of
rational stability. If there are
few notable buildings there are
few slums. If few people are
very prosperous, few are very
wretched. In turn the Phila-
delphians get more happiness out
of their city than any other towns
men in America. Tile american.

William j. Bryan arrived in
Washington Tuesday afternoon
and paid a visit TO the House Of
Representatives. He had the
privilege of entrance upon the
floor as an ex-member. His ap-
pearance evoked applause from
many members. From his pld.
seat, he responded to the greet
ings of his friends and acqukint-
ances, his face beaming with
smiles. Among those who shook
his hand were Gen. Grosve4or,
Republican, of Ohio, one d fhe
most prominent Republicans who
extended a welcome to the late
Democratic leader. Before hay
ing the hall Mr.. Bryan paid his
respects to Speaker Reed.
A travelling man at Parkers-
burg, whose name could not be
learned, started down theriver to
Cincinnati Friday morning in q
skiff. He will make all the river
towns and expected to anchor in
the harbor of the Queen City
some time Sunday. This plucky
salesman was caught there
by tie floods and finding he Gould
not make his territory by trains
decided to do it in this unique
way. He said he would foat
with the strong current and
make ten miles an hour. Such
pluck as this deserves recogni-
ton from his employers in the
shape of substantial increase Of
salary.
Grafton was favored with Q
distinguished visitor Tuesday
evening. The Hon. William .
Bryan, accompanied by Mrs
Bryan and their little daughter
arrived on a delayed train from
the west on their way east, about
s O'Clock and were kept waiting
here for train east a half hour
or more where quite a number OF
our citizens learning of their
presence called and we're intro
duced. Mr.. Bryan looked better
than when he was here during
the campaign. Mr.. and Mrs
Bryan were very gracious in
their manner To all,-sentinel.

ALL SORTS.

Oklahoma has abolished her
territorial militia. The idea out
there seems tobe that every man
must furnish his own gun and
do his own soldering.
Austin, the new English poet,
laureate. has perpetrated anoth-

. Greece has stepped in where
the Powers fear to tread. There
is every evidence that the Turks
have done some good, stiff fight

American people is with the
plucky little nation.
Greece may be regarded as

fully announces that she will
take the full responsibility for
her conduct toward Turkey. Yet
all Europe may presently be
clamoring for the honor of shar-
ing it with her.
First the European powers
thought they would compel
Greece to let go of Crete. and
then they thought they wouldn't.
The second thought appears TO
have been both sober and safe.
Senator.elect Thomas c. Patti,
of New York, who is now visiting
Florida, visited his orange grove
in that State few days ago and
expressed himself as we'll pleased
with the outlook.
Miss Maud r. Ingersoll, daugh-
ter of Colonel Robert G. Inger-
soil, has written a letter to an
Atlanta paper denying the state
ment recently made by an At
lanta minister that she is a Pres
byterian.
OF course the State Senate of
Kansas opposes the arbitration
treaty. 1t wouldn't be the State
Senate of Kansas if it didn't.
Greece may possibly withdraw
from Crete, but if she does she
will carry the heart and sympa-
thy of Crete with her.
Abundont rams insure good
wheat crop in California next

The defeated popocratic candi-
date for President again says
that he has been offered S25, 900
a year to write editorial articles
for daily newspaper. Thus
far, however. he has charitably
refrained from naming the paper.
Senator Hill declares that
members of Congress do not get
drunk, and he is doubtless cor
root. Someo them occasionally
become intoxicated with the ex.
uberance of their own verbosity,
but it doesn't hurt them any.

Bad Drinking Water.

Every American traveller in
Europe is regarded as a million
aire. says a correspondent of the
New York Tribune, and therefore
fair game for plunder. There is
a worse evil than this, against
which it is not SO easy to protect
ones self. This is the vile drink
ing water usually supplied. Be
sure and see that it is properly
filtered. With the exception of
Vienna, there is scarcely a city
or town on the Continent, or. for
the matter of that, in England,
where the water is not polluted
to such a degree as to render it
totally unfit for drinking pur-
poses. People drink so little
water in Europe that no one pays
much attention to this branch of
sanitation, and no attempt was
made by the authorities to rene
dy the shocking condition of the
quality of the water supplied to
Dublin, until the leading dlstil-
lers of the metropolis officially
complained that it was too pois-
onous and polluted even to be
used for the manufacture of
whiskey. That of course, APP
pealed to the authorities, and
steps were at once taken to
remedy the matter.

According to the programme
the defeatedp opocratic candidate
for President has two new lee
lures, one entitled Free Silver
and the other Money he talks
on the former and for the latter.
Senator Daniel, of Virginia.
regards the postponement of the
arbitration treaty as a great VIC
tory for free silver. If Daniel is
half as wise as his name might
seem to imply he will have that
theory copyrighted.
Emperor William is dreadfully
angry with England for her be-
havior in the Grecian affair. 1t
looks as though he might even
go so far as to make faces at his
royal grandmother.
1t appears that the battle ship
Texas sailed all the way from
Hampton Roads to Galveston aud
only went aground once. This
achievement will stand in the
vessels record as a splendid
triumph of seamanship and luck.
The closest contest in any of
the States at the recent election
is believed to have been that for
the State Treasurership in South

candidate won by a majority of
two votes in total of more than

The Montgomery (Ala.) Adver-
tiser is of the opinion that if the

Mr.. Samuel H. Howe, of Bos-
ton, has purchased Longfellow's
"Wayside Inn" at Sudbury.
Mass, and will convert 1t into a
permanent memorial of the poet,
restoring it as nearly as possible
to the condition it was in when
Longfellow wrote the Tales. Mr..
Howe is a descendant of the
original owners of the Inn.
Mrs. Pearl Craigie, otherwise
John Oliver Hobbies, the Ameri-
can writer who lives in London,
where she has gained a divorce,
will, it is understood, soon marry
again. The happy man is Mr..
Walter Spirdler, who is men
toned as being somewhat the
BRIDES junior and the owner of a
fine estate in the Isle of Wight.
Kansas genius finds new
expression in a bill now before
the Legislature which provides
that type setting machines shall
not be used anywhere in that
State. The idea underlying that
measure appears to be that the
way to restore prosperity is to
diminish the productiveness of
labor,
The King of Benin and the
Emir of Nupe have been de-
throned and punished by Eng
land. 1t appears that they grew
too fond of English travellers

change their diet in the interest
of public safety.

Rousseau dwells strongly upon
the facts that weak body in a
child enfeebles the soul, that the
education of man begins at his
birth. that simplicity in diet is an
absolute necessity for sound
physical growth, and the most
dangerous period in human life
is the interval between birth and
the age of twelve.

II is too often true Of the un-
happy children who are forced to
rise too early in their classes that
they are conceited all the fore
noon of life and stupid all its
afternoon. The vigor and fresh.
ness which should have been
stored up for thepurposes of the
hard struggle for existence in
practical life have oeen washed
out of them by precocious mental
debauchery-by book gluttony
and lesson bibbing. Their facul-
ties are worn out by the strain
put upon their callow brains and
they are demoralized by worth
less childish triumphs before the
real work of life begins. l have
no compassion for sloth, but
youth has more need for intellec-
tual rest than age, and the cheer
fitness, the tenacity OF purpose.
the power of work, which make
many successful man what he
is, must often be placed to the
credit not of his hours of indus
try, but to that of his hours of
idleness in boyhood.-Hurley.

When will the sheepmen's union pay
for the scalps, is a question that many
would like to have answered II is very
nice for the sheepmen to have the coy
otes exterminated and then not pay a
cent for couple of years. The county
court lending their name and influence
to the scheme, caused people to place
more confidence in the organization, and
now it looks like the court would take
more interest in having the matter fixed
up in satisfactory and honorable man
ner. "Pay up and quit honorably,"
should be their motto.
Coroner Arthur Marvel empaneled a
jury and sat on his first case here last
Saturday night. An old German tramp,
who had been wandering around in this
section for week or so, was found dead
in Harry Clay's orchard Saturday. No
marks of violence were found on his
body, and the snpposition is that he
died of heart disease. There were no
papers on him or nothing to show who
he was or where he came from. The
body was buried at Olex Sunday at the
county's expense. August Somerfeld of
Condor was talking German to him last
week. Possibly he learned something
about the mans past history.

Thousands of sheep are going through

The report that poison had been put

However, poison was put out on the
