the hose wagon of the Crystals got dis
abled on Wyoming avenue and John
Gilleran, a member of the company,
who was riding on the rear step, had a
close call from serious injury, a piece
Of the tire of the hind wheel on the
right side of the wagon broke off and
flew within a few inches of his head
with great speed. There were three
others Of the company on the wagon
also.
This occurred midway between
Spruce street and LaCkawanna ave-
nue.. The driver was unable to bring
the team to a standstill for several
feet, by which time the rest Of the
tire and the rim of the wheel came off.
The wagon had to be brought to
Gould's shop, from which 1t had not
long been sent out. The first time it
was used since it was smashed in the
collision ON May is last was Fircmen's
Day.
The fire was located in the rear Of the
Jewish synagogue on Hickory street
and caused only slight damage.

THE BOND ORDINANCE.
Provision May Be Made in 1t For
West Side Park.

Being unable to arrive at an agree
mcnt on soma of the claims presented,
the committee on bond ordinance ad-
jomned Saturday night without COM
pleting its report. to meet again next
saturday afternoon at o'clock.
Park Commissioner Bedford appeared
before the committee Saturday night
and agreed to secure options on the
land in Keyser Valley talked of as a
site for new park. Councilman San
derson took the position that $4,000
should be expended on Nay Aug park
so that the city would have one park
any way. Councilman Norton opposed
this view by saying that Nay Aug is
too far away from the West Side and
the people over there are entitled to Il
place near at hand when a good site
can be secured at cheap rates.
Almost every councilman in the city
has some project big or small which
he asks to be provided for in the bond
ordinance. This man wants a new
building for his hose company and
that man wants money to widen and
grade a street. Some of them will be
disappointed.

TAX ON EXPRESS MATTER.

The high handed express companies
of America have received well-deserved
rebuke from Topeka, Kan, manufac
turer. Recently he had lot of posters
printed, one of which he placed upon
every package shipped by express from
his factory. These posters carried the
following statements:
We protest against the non-payment
of taxes fixed by law upon express
companies or other corporations that
possess no bodies to be kicked, souls to
be damned or hearts to be patriotic. 1t
lily becomes those who share the priv
ileges and benefits of this nation to at
tempt to evade the law and avoid pay
ing their Just share toward maintaining
the honor and integrity of this govern
ment in the present hour of financial
need.
The express companies have notified
him that they will not forward any
more of his goods If the Objectionable
poster is placed upon the packages.
We hope he is not man to be so easily
blufled. The express companies are
common carriers" and must forward
his goods along with any advertisement,
Illustration or announcement he pleases
to print or post upon the packages. The
law was plainly intended as "A tax to be
paid directly by the express companies.
The same law applies to telegraph mes
sages, upon which the companies con
trolling the service require the sender to
pay the tax. Litigation in many states
is now In progress to test the provisions
of the law affecting common carriers,
with the view of placing the direct pay
ment of the tax upon the companies that
control the service rather than upon a
meek but patriotic public. Everybody
should protest-protest with emphasis

Countless homes in every city in
America have been saved from the loss
of some despairing member by Paine's
celery compound.
The story of the life-work of The dis
coverer of this world-famed remedy is
familiar to most readers. The likeness
of Dartmouth's greatest professor, Prof
Edward f. Phelps, NJ. d., LII. D.,
given above, is the best portrait of him
yet printed.
"Excepting Its handful of magnificent
statesmen and its military heroes" says
the most recent writer upon the critic of
America, 1.-THE people owe more to
Dartmouth's physician-teacher than to
any other one man.
SIN every walk of life, among the
highest office-hOlders at the national
capital, in the homes of the best people

folks of the country, families in com
Portable circumstances, families that live
from hand to mouth and could not, if
they wished, afford the services of any
but an ordinary Neutrality-suspicious.
l have met people to whom Paine's
celery compound has been blessing"
1t was the worldfamed discovery by
Prof. Phelps of an infallible cure for
those fearful ills that result from an i'm.
paired nervous system and impure blood
which has endeared the great doctor tC
the world, and made his life an era in the
practice of medicine.
Prof. Phelps was born in Connecticut
and graduated in medicine at Yale.

Smith and Wilson-printed in the
World, define the policy of the admins
tration very clearly.
1t includes the permanent acquisition
of all the Philippines" as Postmaster
General Smith states it. Secretary Gage,
who at first was opposed to the acquisi-
ton of the Islands, now fayors it. "Com-
mercial necessity has compelled ter
ritorial expansion" is his way of putting
it.
Just how the acquisition of these
remote and savage islands is TO benefit
our commerce the secretary of the
treasury does not explain. The report
of his bureau of statistics shows that the
value of our exports for the year ending
with October was 81 ,229,G COG, 4O4. OF
this magnificent total the Philippines
took S94, 597-abOut one carload of such
goods as we send there. The total i'm
ports to the Islands for 1896 from all
sources were valued at only $4,000, 900
less than we send to Europe in two good
sailing days.
These are the facts as to the com.
mercial value of the Philippines. As to
the possibilities of developing a trade
Mr., Henry w. Peabody, of Boston, the
head of the only American firm ever
established at Manila, says that "there i:
no market in the Philippines for any
important American product. The
natives have few wants beyond a striI
of colored cloth, usually cotton of 8
cheap grade"
Commercial necessity" is therefore
quite as vague phrase as the president

It will now become necessary to re-
wise the Guide to Highway Robbery"
The petty thief who steals along the
street with his sharp eye fixed on the
dainty and valuable little watches that
rich women carry has a new trick TO
learn. The watch on the front of the
waist is no longer before his eyes. Nor
has it a little watch pocket of its own.
A brand new repository, never heard
of before, has come into fashion-the
neck.
The why and wherefore of this new
fad cannot be discovered. But the
girls are doing 1t, and they claim it is
the safest and best way of carrying a
watch yet devised. OF course they
ought to know.

reputation and prominence among his
professional brethren. First he was
elected to the professorship of anatomy
and surgery in the Vermont University.
Next he was appointed lecturer on ma
terra medica and medical botany in
Dartmouth College. The next year he
was chosen professor of the chair then
vacated by Prof. Robby, and occupied
the chair, the most important one in the
country, at the time when he first for
mulated his most remarkable pre-
scription.
Prof. Phelps has given to his profess
sion in Paine's celery compound a posi-
tive cure for sleepnessness, wasting
strength, dyspepsia, billousness, liver
complaint, neuralgia, rheumatism, all
nervous diseases and kidney troubles.
1t is the only specific recognized and
prescribed today by the best physicians
for diseases arising from a debili.ated
nervous system. For such complaints
Paine's celery compound succeeds again
and again where everything else fails.
No remedy was ever so highly recon-
mended, because none ever accomplishes
so much.
Paine's celery compound stands with
out competition for feeding exhausted
nerves and building up the strength of
the body. 1t cures radically and per.
manently. A healthy increase in appe-
lite and a corresponding gain In weight
and good spirits follow the use OF
Paine's celery compound. 1t is the mosr
remarkable medical achievement of thi:
last half of the nineteenth century.

In an editorial in which Henry Wat
terson went extensively Into the race
question in the Louisville Courier
journal he said:
The president may express such be-
coming horror of the race troubles in the
Carolnas as he thinks the moral or par
tisan exigencies of the administration
require, but he cannot hold himself
wholly guiltless from responsibility for
their existence. If he wished to expert
ment with the negro as an office holder,
why did he not undertake a few test
cases at the north, where the black
population is not so dense, and, there
fore, where the race friction is less
acute.
TO set black men over white men in the
more negro ridden dirtricts of the south
is to light a torch In powder mill. Yet,
In northern communities, from which
disproportionate numbers have expelled
the menace, and almost the conscious
ness of racial antagonism, this would
not be considered from the political
point Of view prudent thing to do.
Imagine a negro postmaster at Boston,
or a negro collector of the port of New
York even a negro United States mar
shall at Pittsburg or Cincinnati might
find Jordan an Indifferent road to travel.
Truly what a world of difference 1t makes
whose OK is gored.
The simple remedy for the ordinary
corruption of elections at the south lay
and, in measure, still lies-in the po-
81, al L. Or I,a al
from the menace of negro domination
through aid of the national government
operating as a hostile force, it was in.
evitable that the whites of the south
should break up on other issues than the
race issue.
The negroes, rid of external encourage
ment, would break up with them. Then
each set of whites could and would take
care of its own set of blacks and a free
ballot and fair count would follow.
There was never time when the ques
ton of free ballot and a fair count was
other than a race question.
The whites of the south, no more than
the whites of the north, were built tC
| think alike. But here life and property
were the sole objects of consideration
and. as black domination meant ire
sponsible government, the whites, com
PEELED to act together, were substantially
united
/ IT, by a miracle, the white population;
OF South Carolina and Mississippi could
have been replaced by an equal number
of white men from Massachusetts and
Ohio, the conditions, within a year
would have been the same, or worse
1t was never a party question, never q
sectional question, but always, and
wholly and purely, race question.
As matters stand, there is but one way
to deal with it, and that is for the gener
al government to leave it severely alone
