the Dartmouth Medical School had
accumulated the most absolutely con

virtue Of his great discovery, enough
to satisfy the most specifically inclined
person, before he offered Paine's celery
compound to his fellow practitioners
and to the world.
For absolute reliability in routing
ont obstinate disorders from the system
there is nothing that resembles or ap-

should be taken by everyone who is
trying to get rid of nerve or blood dis.

JEFFERSONVILLE. Ind. Oct. 2.-The
receipt by Mrs. Harriet Hamlin, of
this city, of $4,000 from her
brother. Winfield Stratton. the Grip
pie Greek millionaire as mentioned
a few days ago in the Journal, recalls many
interesting facts in connection with the
early life of the man who is now known by
reputation from one end of the country to
the other. A few years ago he was an OBJ
scure wandering carpenter. win" STRAIT

father at one time having been mayor of
the city. win" left here because of some
trouble in the family circle, he failing to
get along with his stepmother. He also
had q misunderstanding with his sister,
now Mrs. Hamlin. and this was the reason
that he was so long in substantially remem-
bering her after he had become fabulOuSly
rich. Mrs, Hamlin is one of the most high
vile, and has two sons, Harry and Earl,
who were also remembered by StrattOn,
who sent them 5000 each a few weeks
ago. The action of the millionaire in re-
membering his relatives after so many
years illustrates the peculiarities of his dis
position A sister, Mrs. Cobb, lives with
him at Colorado Springs. When Stratton
lived in Jeffersonville his principal occupa-
loafing place, at the corner of Spring and
Maple streets here. there to while away
the long summer and fall afternoons. The
sudden stroke of fortune which converted
him into a modern CroeSuS seems to his
friends like fairy tale. Stratton's WIFE
who left him because he persisted in wan

ing, secured a divorce few weeks before
he made his first rich strike. She is mar

graduate the city of Chicago on this grand
annual encamDment. While we deplore a
sort of journalistic Indifference in failing to
give extended accounts of the sessions and
regard it bad taste to devote a page to Mr..
Luetgert and only half a column to the
mothers, we believe that this blunder will
be recognized and atoned for before the
week is out We have followed with the
greatest care the meager reports as pub
lished and are much gratified to find all
our friends IN evidence. Yesterday was, we
should judge from the programme, honor
airy mothers day. and to-day the prospec-
tive mothers seem to have monopoly OF
the papers and talking hours One of the
morning papers favors us with a glimpse
at the audience and announces that Chi
cago mothers discuss the training of the
babies" The picture is a very beautiful one
and exhibits several pleasant old gentlemen
and attractive young women, but we cannot
with perfect regard for the truth declare
that Chicago mothers did much of tNe dis
cussing' unless Miss Harrison, Miss Miller
Miss Cook, Professors Coulter and Jackman
and Rev. l.. r. Mercer can prove their ma
ternity. However, this is a small matter. a
mere typographical error, let us say. The
main point is that competent authorities
are rounding up the mothers in good style
and ii they do not profit by the flow of sug-
geStions 1t is their own fault Let the good
work go on God bless the mothers: those
who are, those who may be and those who
save in one important particular, are quail
ned to be.

Louis Lang's Experience Mt Dawson
City and on the Trail-ChOice Cuts
of Beef $3.50 a Pound.

SEATTLE, Wash, Oct 2.-The steamer
Farrallon arrived here to-day from Skag-
uay Alaska. The Farrallon has on board
40 returning prospectors, among the num-
Der being Louis Lang direct from Dawson
City which place he left Aug. 26, coming
out on Dalton trail. In an interview he
said when l left Dawson the stores had
stopped selling supplies and restaurants
had closed because they could get nothing
to cook. l believe that provisions are
scarce, although many of the miners are
leaving. 1t was a great mistake in the
trading companies to bring so much whisky
up the river instead of supplies. Before we
left Dawson nine cattle had been driven in
and four of them butchered. Choice cuts
brought $3.50 per pound, while a soup bone
was worth so cents. paid 81 and SIPS per
pound for elk meat AS we wanted to get
out as quickly as possible, brought but
very few provisions, the entire pack of
each man, blankets and all, weighing about
sixty pounds. We came up the river to
Five Fingers and then out over Dalton
trail. We crossed the summit Sept. 81 in
snowstorm and had Indian guides to show
US the way. We had to wade knee deep in
snow We met the Sharp party twelve
miles south of the summit with their cat
tie and it seemed to me doubtful whether
they would get in. 1t took us just twenty
seven days to get to tidewater."
Another passenger on the Farrallon was
Henry Brattnober, a mining expert who is
a confidential man for the London Explora-
ton Company, which is controlled by the
Rothschlds. He has been over the Yukon

STREET RAILWAY FRANCHISES.
A System of Private Ownership and
Public PrOfit-Sharing Advocated.

e. E. Higgins in Municipal Affairs
The present system of dealing with street
railway corporations by limited term franz
chises and by the imposition of constantly
heavier burdens of taxation is far from be-
ing the best way and is in the highest de-
gree chaotic. improbable to the city and
unsatisfactory to private capital. Adequate
compensation for franchises cannot possibly
be obtained by the city nor be offered by pri-
vate capital under such system for every
thing is so tentative and uncertain that or
binary business prudence requires the ut
most caution in undertaking obligations by
trustees for invested capital. Burdens Of
taxation imposed upon street railway COM
panies are. in reality, a form of indirect
tax upon the people, since they act to pre-
vent reductions of charges for services rem
dered. Capital cannot be secured on advan-
tageous terms where franchises are short
and this, too, keeps charges above a mini
mum, not only because "A higher price has
to be paid capital in the form of interest
but also because a larger has to be
set aside each year out of earnings to pro-
the end of the franchise period. The much
public service franchises in the new char
ter adopted for New York city is econornj
cally wrong in principle for this reason
The best solution of the problem and one
which is capable of the widest application
is found, j believe, in complete monopolv
private ownership and operation perpetuai
franchises and a system of perpetual profit-
sharing with the municipality Joined to =
remission of charges to the public If and
whenever profits come to be sufficient for
that purpose.

The fact that milk has become extremely
popular with all classes of physicians of
late years is emphasized by recent writer
in the North American Review. Formerly
a fever patient was forbidden to take the
article, while in modern practice Il is about
the only food allowed and a well-nigh ex-
elusive diet of that liquid is said to be very
efficacious in diabetes. AT the German spas,
bread is allowed, the diet being mostly
made up Of milk, eggs, grapes and lean
beef: non-starch diet is the rule, bread,
excluded. Rice is easily digested and an eX-
cellent food except that it abounds in
earthly salts. Fruits are not only digested
in the first stomach, but they have a large
part of the nourishment already in a con-
dtion to be absorbed and assimilated as
soon as eaten. The food elements in bread
and cereals have to undergo a process of di-
gestion in the stomach and then be passed
or to the intestines for a still further chem
ical change before being of use to the hui
man system, showing the advantage of
diet of lean meats and fruits.
