JOIN THE PROCESSION"

In harmless littl+ squib you, the other
day, exhorted all hands to "fall in" and
"join the procession of coming pros
perity, which you, no doubt, honestly
thought you saw looming UP before your
admiring gaze. This has become some
what stale old joke. Somebody has seen
same thing, in their minds eye, for at
least three times a week for the last
three years or more. and still prosperity
has not put in an appearance.
The good book tells us that we should

my mind the multitude is. going in the

of civilization, has there been such a

has there been such cyclone of business

part of bank officials, so many suicides.

A NEW PHILANTHROPIC ENTER
PRISE.

i hloGI.
In its endeavor to aid the poor, desti-
tute and suffering, the State Herald in
vitesJ the attention of the management OF
the United Charities to the following
from the New York Evening Post:
The association for improving the con-
dition of the poor has just begun 70 put
in operation plan which, II IT snail re-
ceive from the public the hearty co-opera-
ton that it merits, will go far towards
abolishfng professional begging In this
city. On Monday of this week large
workrooms for unskilled labor were open
ed In the Industrial building at Hartley
house, No. Alb West Forty-sixth street,
to which any one who has tickets may
send women who apply to them for re-
lief There they will receive food and
clothing in exchange for work; their cases
will be promptly investigated and cared
for in accordance with the need found.
But philanthropic work cannot be car
ried on without money. and the public is
invited to- assist in carrying out this plan
in the following way: Books of tickets
have been prepared, by the purchase and
use of which 1t is confidently believed
that the worthy poor can be more effect
lively relieved and the unworthy dis
oouraged. Books containing twenty
tickets will be mailed to any address on
receipt of IS; one containing twelve tick
cts, for So. One of these tickets should

money; because if she is not an impos-
ter, 1t will be worth to her much more
than it cost the given; and if she is a
professional beggar, she will not present
1t at all. and the money paid for 1T will
go to purchase food to be given, in ex-
change for work, to those who really
want to earn an honest living.
Each ticket will entitle the holder to a
days work at Hartley House, good hot
lunch in the middle of the day, and about
fifty cents worth of groceries and sup
plies to take home with her at night, the
amount varying according to the thor
oughness of her work. The women will
be employed in renaking and renovating
old clothes, and In making rag carpets
for which a market has been found),
patchwork quilts etc. The clothes and
quilts will be given to them in exchange
for their work. Those who have never
had an opportunity to learn will be taught
how to sew. Old or discarded garments
of every description. clean rags and rem
naI,ts Of all kinds. are needed, and on
receipt of a postal card the association
will gladly cali for such contributions
This plan provides for work for women
only, but the ,'iWa yfarers' Lodge" car

cies the more materially will be lessened

Thos. H. Clark has also concluded to
dismiss his contest suit and allow Jesse
Stallings to hold his seat in congress from
the Second district unmolested. Tom,
doubtless, did not care to put Jesse or the
state to any more expense. nor to worry
congress. 1t is given out that Mr.. Clark
has a very strong notion of taking his
stand with the democratic party again.
We are always willing to let down the
bars for such prodigals as Tom Clark
He realizes that the swine husk Is not
pala table, and when the ring is placed
on his finger and he sits down at the
banquet table at home again he will be
the best boy in the family, and though all
may forsake the old democratic ship, Tom
will stick to the hull like barnacle. His
sufferings from political dyspepsia are
greater than he can bear and the sooner
he takes the medicine the better.

plants of industries above enumerated

a highly prosperous manufacturing CEN

Senator Harris, of Kansas, calls Great
Britain "our Nemesis" He has the idea
that Nemesis means enemy, or robber,
and this is the popular acceptation. But
the dictionary gives the true meaning
as ''retributive Justice which conveys
a far different idea from that entertained
by the Populist senator.

1T seems 10 me, however, that this
talk Of cannibalism Is unnecessarily re-
viVed. think 1t has been conceded
that the tragedy OF Cape Sabine forced
the men into conditions which could
not have existed under other clrcum-
stances. It seems to me that the viola

been to have thesllving to perish when
their existence might have been sus-
tained by the food" which was put be-
fore them. It would be, 1t seems to me,
only matter for the individual to de-
eide whether he would partake OF the
dead or die.

Itching piles. indicated by warmth,

The usual treatment has been some

The only permanent cure for Itching

Cure not only for itching piles, but for

gives instant relief and the continued
use for a short time causes a perma-
