The Successful Remedy for
NASAL CATARRH

must be non-irritating, easy of application
and one that will by its own action reach the
infiamed and diseased surfaces.
ELY'S CREAM BALM combines the i'm

tic curative powers with perfect safety to the
patient. This agreeable remedy has mastered
catarrh as nothing else has, and both physi-
clans and patients freely concede this fact
All druggists cheerfully acknowledge that IN
it the acme Of Pharmaceutical skill has been
reached. The most distressing symptoms
quickly yield to it. In acute cases the Balm
imparts almost instant relief.

CURIOUS CUSTOMS,

Another piece OF evidence on the
power and grip of the racial habit, is
the customs prevailing in many parts
of Pennsylvania regarding funerals.
They are observed by the descendants
of the Germans who largely settled the
eastern and middle part Of the State.
During funeral services in a church,
the men wear their hats. No unity of
fashion in the hat is observed. But
it is worn, whatever it's shape and
nishing a heavy lunch of cold meats,
with liquor at the home of the de-
ceased, after the funeral is strictly OBJ
served. In spite of the notifications
of customs in nearly every part of the
country, due to education, reading and
travel, a large class of these cOnSerVa-
tive Germans or "Dutchmen" as they
are called refuse TO abandon their fun
eral program. The majority of these
people are not Intellectually bright,
and inherit a stolid conservatism.
They buy few books, know little about
their own country, and have small
public spirit. They present an extra
ordinary example of contentment.
Their wants are few. They live well,
and drive fine horses. They let we'll
enough alone. Some of their young
men drift away into the outer world.
The mass of these Dutchmen are
Lutherans in religion, but even the
whiskey at a funeral. The ideas upon
which these customs are based are in
herited and so far cannot be changed.

Social SCIENCE Society.

The Social Science Association gath
cred last evening for the first meeting
OF the season at the home of Rev. Chas.
NJ. and Mrs. Hyde. Mrs. McCully-Hig
gins was the hostess. 1t has been the
custom, since DR.. Hyde organized the
society in 1882 for the Hydes to have
the October meeting and Mrs McCully-
Higgins always entertained the follow
ing month. AS Mrs. McCully-Higgins
soon departs for the States again, the
arrangement of last evening was made
at her special request and fine cola
tion was prepared with special table
decorations. The paper was by Prof.
Theo. Richards, late principal of Ka-
mehameha School and was a most
thoughtful and interesting essay in
treatment of the economic features or
needs of education.

the fine body of men who carry the
guns.
AS a simple and practical way of pre-
venting these Offenses, the Command
ant might detail every day a certain
number Of men to do guard duty on the
cars The duties would be light and
order would be maintained.
1t is TO be much regretted that few
men should bring disgrace on a large
body of noble fellows.
We would not check the liberty of
the men for an instant. But arrange
ment should be made so that quick and
sharp justice should be done to the
transgressors. We can put up with
noise. That is a contribution TO the
war. But We ought not TO suffer from
useless and senseIess disturbances that
decent soldiers regret.

DTSORDERLY SOLDIERS.

The old kamaainaS, resident here
ffty wears ago, will recall, after walk
ing through our streets at night, the
visits of the whale ships, and the
scenes displayed by several thousands
sailors while on liberty. With unlimit-
ed freedom in obtaining liquor they
painted the town in gorgeous crimsons,
and exhibited to the "unsuspecting ma
tiyes. the hard features of our boosted
civilization.
Since the arrival of the troops, there
have been many exhibitions OF the
same crimson nature. But it is only
correct to say, that they have been, so
far of a miIder type and far less ag-
graYating.
In the tram cars there have been
several outrageous otfenses against de-
cency. Drunken men enter the cars,
and humiliate the army by their con-
duct. On Saturday last, in one of the
cars, a drunken soldier used obscene
language in the hearing of several
ladies.
1t may be said that the conductor is
authorized to eject such offenders. It
is impracticable TO do so. The often
der will resist and his companions tC
some extent will aid him. It is true
that other soldiers using the cars are
ashamed of the conduct Of these often
ders, and would gladly see them ex-
PEELED. But they will hardly volun-
teer to keep order. The conduct of the
vast majority of the men is admirable
and shows the orderly and refined in
stinct of the American. One cannot
look into their faces without pride al

ROOSEVELT FOR GOVERNOR.

The nomination of Roosevelt TO the
office of Governor of the State Of New
York is merely another instance of
what we all describe as the tidal wave
in politics, the tidal wave that carried
Cleveland into the Presidency in 1893
When the tidal wave moves rapidly
across the waters of national politics.
it is governed by laws as definite as
those which govern the ocean tidal
movements. The optimists like to
look upon it as wave of political
virtue, which lands away up on the
beach all the floating wickedness and
leaves it there. This it rarely does
OF course Tom Platt regards with
some disgust the Roosevelt wave. 1t
breaks from their mornings too many
of the Plat crafts, and then wrecks
them. 1t throws the Machine off the
track, and it costs labor and money
and patience to get il back on the
track. An old veteran like Platt looks
upon Roosevelt as the West Indian
looks upon an occasional hurricane
inevitable at times but undesirable.
Indeed his election strengthens the
Machine, for the people fall back into
Indifference, and overestimate the
power of a good man like Roosevelt to
make reforms.
The Republican as we'll as Democra-
tic leaders both in the City and State
of New York have no confidence in
Roosevelt. His services as Police
Commissioner We're in daily violation
of the rules laid down in the Political
Catechism. President Dole is a suck
ing dove in comparison with him, dur
ing those periods when the boys"
walked into his Office and told him
what to do for the good of the country
and for themselves. He used langu-
age that good mothers take painful
care to prevent reaching the ears of
their little children.
But Platt will Out-general him. For
Platt and Croker, on the appearance
of common enemy at once join forces
United they are able to pass laws over
the head of the governor. So the cleo
ton of Roosevelt will bring upon the
Republican Machine only a temporary
affiiction.
