try men of Christ Church, held last Mon
day, the nomination by the Bishop OF

LETTER TO MIR. j. W. SKILLESS,
Island Pond, VT.

Dear Sir: The following conversation
recently took place in our store in New
York:
Customer: II want to get some
cheap paint to do cheap job"
Clerk: well, you want our Lead and
Zinc Paint then; not cheap paint"
Customer: why so?"
Clerk: For two reasons-lst, 10
gals. OF our Lead and Zinc Paint at 81 so
per gal. will cover as well as Is gals. of a
cheap paint at Sips per gal. 3D. if it
takes painter two days to spread 10
gals it will take him three days to spread
Is gals"
These are the two reasons why a low
priced paint costs more than pure paint.
Yours truly,

Ten Million Wheelmen.

1t is stated by competent authority
that there are ten million people in
America who are bicycle riders. Probably
each one gets an average of one hurt in a
season, and that is just when Henry &
Johnson's Arnica & Oil Eminent gets in
its good work. Nothing has ever been
made that will cure bruise, cut orsprain
so quickly. Also removes pimples, sun
burn, tan or freckles. Clean and nice to
use. Take it with you. Costs 25 cents
per bottle. Three times as much in SO
cent bottle. All druggists sell it and
guarantee it to give satisfaction or
money refunded.

1 Of course, the East Is to be blamed for this seeming unfarness to the West It is not their fault if we also do not get an appropriation for an exposi- ton. The Government Is willing to help as 1t IS to help New York, Philadelphia and St. Louis If we desire an exposition and appropriation we have only to follow the example of Eastern cities and ob tain them by working for them.
 It is not to the credit of the great West that her Cities and her States are comparatively stagnan ln respect to such enterprises while the East active and progressive. In the five years cycle of expos- tons there should be at least great event of the kind on the Pacific Coast The new era of prosperity dawns as brightly for for the East, and in the glow Of its radiance light should shine brightly as that of the older States
 It rests with San Francisco to determine whether the Pacific Coast shall have great exposition or not No other city the is large or rich enough to undertake one of magnitude approaching that of the more splendid expositions to be held in the East Nor do We lack reasons for venturing upon such an enterprise within the next few years. The develop ment of Pacific Ocean commerce is in itself suf fciently notable to render it worth while for us invite the countries of Asia of Australasia and of South America to exposition at a city which is destined to be the metropolis of that commerce.

CHECK THE RAGING.

r" HE fact has been mentioned heretofore-and pos
 sibly may be mentioned again-that all-th year
 round racing is lure and a menace to public morals Incidentally IS absolutely destructive of the integrity of sport in which breeding and skill once had a chance. Now 1t is gambling game; nothing more. The man who ventures money on the outcome o contest merely guesses as to which horse has been slated to win.
 It is the moral aspect of the question, however, which appeals, much as may regret to see sport once reputable made into the whereby the public IS eeced. So great is the temptation afforded by the constant presence of the chance to bet that many unable to resist They read of fabulous win nings and fired by the allacious notion that for tune may smile them They give their hard earned money to the bookmaker He thrives They want to get even, and if the dollars lacking they borrow beg steal, Women become infatuated with the idle dream of riches, and for the sake of playing neglect their homes waste the funds supplied by unsuspect- ing husbands and eopardze their own regulations Often they become involved in open disgrace for sooner or later exposure, while more than one domestic tragedy may be traced directly the passion for gaming, awakened and nurtured by the ever-pres ent opportunity.
 One of the duties of the Legislature will be to reg uate racing, to limit the and crush the pool room which is the niqutous adjunct of an iniqutous scheme for bunkoing the public

THE WHISPERING ANGEL.

NUT of the fearful tragedy of the wreck of the | J T. C. Walker there have come several proofs of
 > heroism that tighten the gloom of the calamity. The promptness with which the and the passen- gers recovered from the shock of the explosion and hastened to the relief of the victims showed that the higher instincts of humanity not confined to one or two but were shared by nearly all whom chance had gathered into company for the trip.
 There was conspicuous fortitude shown by Cap tain John Tulan, who, though imprisoned in his state room and SO badly scalded by the steam that when rescued pieces of his flesh off with his clothing, bore the pain without groan and carried his agony heroically until death relieved him. Not less heroic that poor Italian who, though burned severely fused to give his name, saying his wife might be alarmed and he wished to be the first to break the news to her
 In this catastrophe, however many others the chief praise for fortitude and for hepulness belongs to woman. To the burned and scalded sufferers of the explosion the coming of Mrs Frances Robinson of this city, one of the passengers the steamer, was that of veritable minstering angel Skilled in the care of the sick, she knew what to do for the victims and she did 1t with promptness that made it doubly eficacious.
 This brave woman, reused from her sleep by the explosion and hearing the cries of the injured, hastened from her sateroom into the night without stopping to even put on her slippers. In her night robe and in bare feet she to the scene of the wreck and at once took charge of the work of relief Under her directions flour and oil were obtained and bandages applied to the burned flesh of the agonized sufferers their pains eased much as possible and in many cases their lives saved,
 Mrs. Robinson did not work alone. She was cor dally and bravey assisted by other among the passengers With swift hands and loving hearts of gentle helpfuness they worked binding up the fearful burns while the cold morning winds swept around them unheeded. It was another illustration amid the wreck of that awful catastrophe of the old story of woman's service, embodied in the immortal words When pain and anguish wiring the brow, minister ing angel thou"
