Other Ways than by War.

When asked for an. expression OF her
views upon the great question that is
agitating the peopl, Of the country at
present, the Rev. Mary Eddy, the founder
of Christian Science, said:

"A bullet in mans heart never settled
the que, ton of his life. The mental ami
mus goes on, and urges that the answer
to this sublime question shall come from
God, and its adjustment shall be accord
ing to His laws. The character and
lives OF m,n determine the peace, pros
perity, and lite of nations. Killing men
is not consonant with the higher law
Whereby wrong and injustice are righted
and exterminaled, but ofttimes the cause
of these evils.
whatever weighs in the eternal scale
of equity and mercy tips the beam on the
right side, wherein and whereby the i'm

To be born Harrison has been, in this
country, as with the Pitt family OF Prime
Ministers in England, to turn instinct
lively towards politics and a public life.
Two presidents Of the United States,
governor OF Virginia, who was also
a signer of the Declaration Of Independ-
ence and member of congress for several
yea1s-all within four generations, father
to son, has but one parallel in this coun-
try and few abroad.
Mr.. John Scott Harrison, Jr., nephew
of ex-President Harrison, whose hard,
telling campaign work in the Southwest
showed the strong family gift, sends the
following appreciativee estimate Of Paine S
celery compound as an ideal restorative
for the body and brain when either are
excessively used:

that Paine's celery compound has proved
of inestimable benefit to me at different
times, when the labors incident to my
work and the nervous strain following
arduous work in campaigns had taxed
me physically. With the thousands Of
other mental workers, who have been
benefited by it, l can recommend it as a
great restorative and builder.

A WORD OF ADVICE
To Those Coming to Alaska or the Klondike
Gold Fields.

To Those Coming to Alaska or the Klondike
Gold Fields.
One thing should be impressed upon
every miner, prospector or trader COM
ing to Alaska to the Klondike, or to the
Yukon country, and that is the necessity
for providing an adequate and proper
food supply. Whether procured in the
states, in the Dominion, or at the supply
stores here or further on this must be his
primary concern. Upon the manner in
which the miner has observed or neg
lected this precaution more than upon
any other one thing will his success or
failure depend.
These supplies must be helpful and
should be concentrated, but the most
careful attention in the selection OF foods
that will keep unimpaired indefinitely
under all the conditions which they will
have to encounter is imperative. For in.
stance, as bread raised with baking
powder must be relied upon for the chief
part of every meal, imagine the helpless
ness Of miner with can of spoiled
baking powder. Buy only the very best
-four; it is the cheapest in the end. Ex-
perience has shown the Royal Baking
Powder to be the most reliable and the
trading companies now uniformly sup
ply this brand, as Others will not keep in
this climate. Be sure that the bacon is
sweet, sound and thoroughly cured.
| These are the absolute necessities upon
which all must place a chief reliance, and
can under no circumstances be neglected.
They may, OF course, be supplemented by
as many comforts or delicacies as the
prospector NAV be able to pack or desire
to pay for.-[From the Alaska Mining
Journal.
| A book of receipts for all kinds of cook
cry, which is specially valuable for use
upon the trail or in the camp, is pub
l,shed by the Royal Baking Powder
Company, of New York. The receipts
are thoroughly practical, and the meth
DDS are carefully explained, so that the
inexperienced may, with its aid, readily
prepare everything requisite for good
wholesome meal, or even dainties if he
has the necessary materials. The mat
ter is in compact though durable form, the
whole book weighing but two ounces
Under special arrangement, this book
will be sent free to miners or Others who
may desire it. We would recommend
that every one going to the Klondike
procure a copy. Address the Roya
Baking Powder Co., New York.

Public Opinion.

Public opinion in this country has
been influenced to an extraordinary
extent by Senator Proctor's speech
describing what he saw in Cuba.
The newspapers from every quarter
show how deep an impression his
dispassionate report and his meas.
ured indictment OF Spain have made.
Other observers Of existing condi-
tions in the unhappy island may tell
the same story, and they may tell it,
perhaps, in more emotional language;
but they can hardly add to the effect
already produced. Mr.. Proctor's
statement of facts has presented for
the first time to the great majority
of American citizens distinctly TO-
cused picture of what had previously
been vague, distant horror; and it
has made the duty of this republic as
clear as daylight.
1t is a common saying that the
American system always provides
the man needed for the occasion.
This undemonstrative, keen'eyed,
well balanced Yankee statesman from
Vermont was precisely the man
needed to command the confidence
and awaken the conscience OF the
American people last week.-[New

cause, and to counteract the strain of
unexpected, prolonged work and excite
ment. 1t is the only remedy prepared
under the eyes Of the medical profession,
and in strict accordance with the direc.
tions of physician of acknowledged
ability.
No ordinary help. no well meaning but
unprofessional connection, sarsaparilla
or blood purifier can do what Paine's
celery compound is able to accomplish:
Cure men and women of such serious dis
eases as kidney troubles, liver complaints
and dyspepsia, or permanently drive
away-and there's the point that no suf-
ferer should lose sight of-permanently
drive out OF the system, rheumatism, rleu-
ralgia and all skin affections.
Nerves and brain can be worked out.
This is the condition of thousands of ex-
hausted nervous systems that have been
almost worked to death in school, count.
ing rooms, factories and stores. Shaky
nerves, fabby muscles, muddy complex
ions and the general appearance of wea-
riness and pain tell the story of exhaus-
ton. Persistent headaches go with ner-
vous debility. That terrible throbbing
OF the heart comes from a wretched con-
dition of the nervous system.
The sure way to get back to perfect
health of body and brain is to regulate
and nourish the nerves by means of
Paine's celery compound. 1t is search
ing cure Tor all diseases that indicate
vitiated blood. 1t builds up the strength
and replaces usedup parts by new, Wig
orous tissues.

TRAFFIC STILL HEAVY
THE LOADED-CAR MOVEMENT con-
TINUES NEAR THE MAXIMUM.
Railway Traffic of the State OF Penn
Works All Over the Country.

The train records show that there were
received and forwarded at indianapolis last
week 25,761 cars, 2O,S00 being loaded, which
is 20 more loaded cars than were handled
at this point in the week preceding While
the movement was not up 70 that of Sep
TENDER, October and the first half of No
Vember of this year. it is still in excess of
she corresponding period of previous years
The corresponding week of 1897 was not so
marked as that of previous years, owing to
the fact that business had begun to i'm
prove; still just why there were 422 more
loaded cars handled at this point than in
the corresponding week of 1897, 1898 more
than in 1886, 2,7H more than in 1895 and
1854 more than in the corresponding week
of 1894. Any decrease in traffic now shown
is not due to lack of business, but the
scarcity of cars. Still, were cars in larger
supply it would tend to congestion of bust
hess at either division points or terminals
',rhe fact isl said an official of the Big
Four, "our business is healthy in it's vol
ume; we have all our cs s and locomotives
in service, and no cor estion of business
anywhere. The demand for cars forces US
10 move them more promptly, consequently
every car is kept at its full carrying
pacity, not only in its movement but in its
loading, whereas had we plenty of cars less
care would be taken in loading and unload
ing them promptly, and less effort would
be made to put all the tonnage possible into
q car; this convinces me that, all things
considered, the Big Four was now holding
it's business to such advantage" A freight
official of the Pennsylvania lines spoke in
much the same manner, making an excep-
ton of the coal traffic; in that line, had
they more cars their earnings from that
class of business would make a more favor
able exhibit. Shipments of grain, cotton
and dressed meats East are now near the
maximum. and the manner west-bound bust
ness holds out is surprise to freight men,
the tonnage exceeding that of any Novem-
Der in years, and this month it has not,
yet, shown any falling off, So far as local
business is concerned, a visit to the city
freight depots or the bulk track yards will
show that Indianapolis merchants, manu-
facturers, packing houses and stock yards
are highly prosperous. and more work is be-
ing done by switching crews and switching
engines than i'm fall or early winter in the
history of the Indianapolis lines. Below is
given the car movement for the week end

that trade is very good. Dry goods houses, boot

doing more than at the corresponding period last
year, and the business of the wholesale grocery
houses and of confectioners is at high tide. Not
in years have the iron and hardware stores done
as good business as is now in progress Commits
sion merchants speak OF business as much more
satisfactory than few weeks ago, the receipts
of fruits and vegetables and other articles not
being largely in excess of the demand, and bet

poultry and butter are all firm at the revised
quotations. The provision market is more active
Seed and HIDE markets are dali and prices easy.
