WAR DECREASES CIVIL CRIME.

In the very beginning of the war
the authorities of the cities were
astonished at the falling of in petty
crimes and misdemeanors. These
smalImalcfactons, itmust be known,
are not committed by professional or
confirmed criminals, but by casual
idlers; by those who, havingnothing
goed to do, are impressed into the
service of his Satanic Majesty. The
war. if it did not give actual employ
mcnt to these casual oilers, gave all
of them something to think about.
1t gave an interest to their lives.
And so the police magistrates found
in a little that more than half their
occupation was gone. | donot sug-
gest that the unfortunates who usn-
ally keep the police busy all went
into the army and navy. That was
the case bya grcaldeal. 1t is likely,
indeed, that the soldiers and sailors
who enlisted in this emergency were
the best Of the best. But the idlerS
were, after all, Americans, and IL
the stirring times when dyums were
beating, rifles cracking sharply ahc
great cannous Goo.-irg in foreign
seas there WAS something else to dc
than to serve the gentleman below
there were other things to be inter

OUR WARSHIPS FOR CHINA.

Baltimore and Petrol VIII Go as Near
ns Possible to Pekin.
Washington, Oct. 4.-Secretary Long,
upon advices received at the state de-
.partment showing the existence of
threatening conditions in China, has
ordered Admiral Dewey to send two
warships Immediately from Manila TO
a point as near the Chinese capital as
possible for a warship to approach.
The vessels selected for the undertake
ing are the Baltimore and the Petrol.
1t is expected that the Baltimore will
not be able to get beyond the Taku
forts at the entrance of the Pang-He
river, upon which Pekin Is situated
but the Petrel, being of smaller pro-
portions, may be able to reach Tien-
Tsin, so miles above the mouth and
about the same distance below Pekin
The officials keenly regret that there
is not now on the Asiatic a light
draught gunboat of the Helena class
which could ascend the river as fal
/ as the Chinese capital
| Secretary Long said the sole pur
/ pose Of ordering the Baltimore and th'
/ Petrol to Chinese waters was to safe
guard American interests and protec
life and property of American citizen
in the event of an outbreak In the in
! terror.

The magnificent building at the corner
OF Eighteenth and Arch streets, Philadel-
phia, is monument that tells what a
great charity is the Women's Christian
Association of the Quaker City.
The superintendent of the w. c. A..
home is the accomplished woman whose
portrait is printed here. Miss Katharine
Kennedy. What she has done and what
she is doing for the benefit of other
women commands the highest respect
and admiration.
In all other institutions of this kind
more attention is given every year to
teaching the laws of health and right
living, physically as we'll as morally.
The health of communities is more and
more frequently a subject of attention
from clergymen and teachers. An ailing,
nervous man or woman finds it more
difficult to be hopeful and cheerful and
good than a well one.
Writing to the Wells, Richardson
Company, who are the proprietors of
the most wonderful of all remedies for
the cure of diseases that arise from the
impairment of the nervous system,

was something Terrific, and thought
the thunder'd push the house in.
Just as / began gathering up the
things there came flash and a crash
that made the house rock, and could
hear things rip and smash and tear
somewhere, and then | could see light
through the blinds on one of the front
windows that was where could see it.
The lightning had struck the porch Of
the house and ripped off lot of the
woodwork there and banged it against
these blinds hard enough to smash 'em
IN and smash the window, too.
You know / ought to have taken
warning by that. but l said to myself
lightning never strikes twice in the same
place and went ahead. A little later,
just as had picked up big heavy silver
coffee pot, there came little lull and
turned Tor minute to look out through
that opening in he blinds, before putting
the coffeepot in the bag. AS I stood
there looking there came flash of light
ming that covered the whole front of the
house opposite, as far as l could see
through the hole in the blind, with
sheet of crinkly silver and blue light, and
the thunder that came whit was awful.
Standing there looking and listening
to the last mountains tumbling down,
and thinking OF that sheet of blue and
silver, it struck me all Of sudden that
the coffeepot / was holding was very
light-1'd held on to that, just the same,
all the time-and looking around sa Nv
that was now holding only the handle;
the Topped off body Of the coffeepot was
lying on the floor; and then realized
that the dazzling blue and white had
seen on the house across the way was
the reflection of the bolt that had passed
within an inch of me through the room
in which stood.
We'll, | amt superstitious, and don't
know as I'm over scary; but l wished
then there'd been somebody in the house;
but there wasn't, and | didn't want to
stay there myself alone. So 1 gathered
up the bag with what there was ia It,
but not picking up the coAeepot nor put.
ting in the handle; laid that down on
the sideboard. And then went out and
lodged the lightning all the way down
the road, and was more or less shv OF

tinue the use Of it." So many women
run down in health by overwork, or
what is worse, overworry, have been
restored to perfect health by Paine's Gel
cry compound, that its record in the
Philadelphia home has been duplicated
in every large city in the Union. Crate
full testimonials of this character have
been published time and again in these
columns, and it is fact that no other
remedy has ever received hundredth of
the hearty blessings that the managers
OF public institutions have openly ac-
corded to Paine's celery compound.
The widespread use of Paine's celery
compound, in the most intelligent, care
ful homes, and among the most thought
ful portions of every community, has
grown up by just this sort of personal
guarantee, by word of mouth, from per-
sons made strong and well to others
needing exactly the kind OF invigoration
and toning up that Paine's celery COM
pound gives.
In time of great mental strain, when
other remedies only NEEDLE and muddle,
Paine's celery compound feeds the hard
pressed nerves.
Paine's celery compound purifes the
blood of all bad humors, and cures the
many ailments from this familiar cause.
vast proportion of all diseases are
preventable. Paine's celery compound is
universally prescribed by medical men to
stop the progress OF disorders, due to
poor blood and badly nourished nerves.

October Eighteenth.

Today the flag goes upin Porto Rico
marking the final withdrawal of Spair
from that island. Henceforth, while the
Stars shine and Stripes endure, Porto
Rico will be American territory.

for expansion. Twice before in our his.
tory it has witnessed memorable events
in the nations march onward and out.
ward.
Thirty one years ago today the colo.
NAL authorities OF Russia formally trans.
ferred Alaska to Gen. Lowell H. Rousseau
OF the United States Army, the Commis.
sioner appointed by our government to
receive the vast territory which William
II. Stewards practical wisdom and pro-
phetic imagination had added to the ma
tional dominion. The flag at Sitka pre-
ceeded the flag at San Juan by exactly
thirry-one years.
Ninetv-hve years ago today the Senate
OF the United Stated took up in execu-
tive session the treaty with France by
which Thomas Jefferson secured the ces-
sion to the United States Of the vast
region covered by the Louisiana pur-
chase. The act of expansion added near
ly twelve hundred Thousand square miles
OF territory to the American Union,
more than doubling the area of our
country. The treaty or convention was
before the Senate only two days before
it's ratification.
Thus does the flag move on, not only
on October Is, but also on other DAYS
notable in the patriotic calendar. The
greatest of Democratic statesmen and
one of the greatest OF republican states
men, Jefferson and Seward, equally
understood the law OF national progress,
and they both obeyed it.
When the flag went up at Sitka it
covered Alaska. When it goes up at San
Juan it covers Porto Rico. When it goes
up at Manila it will cover the Philippines.
