Sulfur for Diphtheria,

Sulfur is one of the most efficacious
and simple cures for diphtheria. All
that is needed is -four of sulfur and a
quill, and with these, it is said, one
celebrated physician cured every pa
tient with out exception. He put a
teaspoonful of -four of sulfur into a
wine glass of water and stirred it up
with his finger instead of a spoon, the
sulfur not readily amalgamating with
water When the sulfur was well
mixed the physician gave it as a gar
gle, and in ten minutes the patient
was out of danger. Sulfur kills every
species of fungus in a man, beast and
plant in few minutes. Instead of
splitting out the gargle, the swallowing
of 1t is recommended. In extreme
cases in which the above specialist
had been called in the nick of time,
when the fungus was too nearly clos
ing to allow the gargling, he blew the
sulfur through quill into the throat,
and after the fungus had shrunk to al
low of it, then the gargle.-Human-

Poetry In Courtroom.

Anderson, Ind, Nov. 24.-The at
torney for the defendant in case in
the Circuit Court served notice that he
would present his argument in poetry
The attorneys for the plaintiff protest
ed, and the Court arose in dignity and
said that he would not admit poetical
arguments.
The matter led to am argument
about the right to employ poetry in
law, and it was found that there was
no precedents or statutes against such
a method, and the poetical attorney
was obdurate. The Court refused to
let the case proceed on this basis, and
it was postponed until January 2. The
attorneys for the defense insist that
they will present and argue their case
in rhyme, and there seems to be no
way to head them off.

which took place at Belpre this after

ing which Harold Want and "Cud'

badly stabbed, and Monk ONeal, of
the Belpre crowd, severely dubbed.
O'Neal is said to have used the knife.
The fight was caused by Parkersburg
winning the first half easily by a score

spectator was engaged in the battle,

Work and Life,

Everybody in the world belongs to
one of two classes-to those who have
joys in hand and troubles to seek, or
to those who have troubles in hand
and joys to seek. We see it every
where-folks who have the luxuries of
life in quest for it's difficulties, and
folks who find difficulties in great
store ready-made to their hand IN
ate quest even of it's necessaries. 1t is
all SO plain to the observant eye that
the philosopher is certainly justified
in assuring himself as he lays down
his pen or his pick or his awl or his
pill-case, or his law book, that if it is
the common lot, and the unavoidable
condition of contentment to strain af-
ter something, it is more interesting
and better sport to strain after some
thing that is vitality important than
after thing which is of no particular
consequence when you have got it.
The struggle for bread finds an i'm
mense reward in the bread, if you
manage to get ft,for bread is truly i'm
portant, albeit not the only good that
life demands. The struggle for the
ordinary luxuries of life, for education
solvency, choice of work, reputation,
and satisfactory maintenance, "bounds
in excellent hazards and chances and
give motive for maintaining all the
faculties at the point of greatest ef-
ficiency: Just as soon as the satisfac-
tion of all reasonable wants is assured
the need of a provision of new diff
culties Immediately becomes apparent.
Nature orders it so. She says that
men shall either work or rot The
rot may be dry rot, or it may be al
coholic. In some form vt impends over
every idle person, and the fear of it,
recognized or instructive, tends to
make the comfortable uncomfortable
and goad the ought-to-be contented
into restlessness. 1t puts some men
on horses and sends them over stiff
fences; it sends others far into the
. woods to live on tea and bacon and try
to shoot beasts; it drives others to golf
or to polo, or to stagger along under
huge loads of business responsibility,
and others it sends into politics or
compels to busy themselves with
founding colleges and promoting char
Ities or scientific esearch.-December

lake the Army Out Of Politics,

The most urgently needed reform is |
the absolute enforcement of the army |
in all Of it's departments from politics
1t is absurd to expect the same thor
ough efficiency and preparation found
in other departments of the public
service unless the same methods are
used. Military service is certainly as
important as civil service-more so in
the time of emergency. It's admins
tration ought to be conducted with the
same single eye to efficiency, and no
department of the army should be
more exempt from political influence
than the staff. This points at once TO
the most urgent reform, viz, make the
commanding general the real working
head of the army, instead of the Secre-
| tary of War. No good results have
come to the service by the extension OF
the Secretary's powers in Grants first
administration. Most of the evils of
the service can be traced to the fact
that the general commanding has
since that time been practically de-
prived of his proper functions, and the
real head of the army has been poll
tician, usually not versed in military
science. Promotions in the service
should never depend upon political in
fluence in any department, nor should
the recommendations of politician
carry any weight in the military SER
vice more than would in those offices
filled through the civil service exam
nations alone. The restoration of its
proper functions to the office OF the
general commanding, as Grant exer-
cised them when he was commander
in chief, would be long step in the
right direction. 1t would put the ad-
ministration OF the army in the hands
of a soldier, and that would be. an
origin of all other necessary admins
trative reforms.-Lieut. John H.
Parker, in the american Monthly Re-
view of Reviews for December.

John Philip sousa and his famous
band will give a single concert at the
Auditorium on Tuesday night, Nov. 29.
This Is an announcement that will
bring pleasurable anticipation to ev-
cry lover of music, for Sousa is prob
ably closer to the hearts of the people
than any other conductor or composer
of the day, and with thorough ap-
probation of their tastes he is giving
them what they want. Sousa is as
much master of the art of program
making as he is of march composition.
His concerts are models of good form
and good taste in this respect, and that
is one reason why the coming of Sou
sa is an event in the musical season
that arouses great enthusiasm.
A distinctive feature of the concerts
of Sousa and his band, in addition to
the liberality and graceful courtesy of
the conductor in gratifying the wishes
of his public in the matter of encores,
is the fact that there are no tedious
was between numbers, a Sousa con-
cert being in reality continuous feast
of melody from beginning to end. The
program to be given here will include
some of the newest music of the day,
and a number of standard favorites.
Several of the great Sousa marches
may be anticipated as encores, the de-
mand for them being so insistent that
the composer-conductor must perforce
obey. Mr.. Sousa will present Miss
Maud Reese Davies, soprano, and Miss
Dorothy Hoyle, violiniste, as soloists.

a heavier capacity than have been in
use in the past and the Receivers have
just ordered from the Schoen Pressed
Steel Company, of Pittsburg, 1000
steel coal cars of capacity Of 1OOO0
pounds each. These cars will be used
for the seaboard trade and are ex-

both of which await further advices.
The general business Of the depart

THE BATTLE OF SANTIAGO.
Interesting Account of the Memorable Conflict
Related by Lieut.. willard. U. S. A.

Culver's hall was crowded with
people last Friday evening to hear
the personal experiences OF Lieut..
Harry O. Willard in the Santiago
campaign. The band was out and
played n number OF patriotic airs.
Before the speaking Mrs. Hollenbeck,
a friend and guest of Mrs. DR.. Will
lard, sang two selections very beau
tifully. The speaker was introduced
by Attorney Edgar G.. Worden, no
spoke in glowing terms of the gallant
conduct OF Lieut.. Willard and his
Juan.
The speaker gave q detailed ac-
count of the life in camp at Chicka-
manga. OF their trip to Tampa, of
the embarkation of the troops ON the
transports, etc, He gave an anus
ing account OF the voyage and said
that the first morning out from har-
Dor they aw0ke tn find themselves
