Bryan as - witness.

AJacksonville, ILL.,, dispatch Of the
goth says: Won Jennings Bryan has
made his appearance as witness in
the Draper murder case. Upon Mr.
Bryan's entrance the audience be-
came enthusiastic and it was with
great difficulty that order could be
maintained. The presence OF two Of
the Presidential candidates OF the
last campaign-G General Palmer and
Mr.. Bryan-was too much for the
spectators. Counsel frequently ap-
pealed to the court to prevent the
demonstrations Of the audience, but
His Honor was unable to keep them
in control.
Mr.. Bryan testified that he was in
the same Office with Mr.. Draper for
four years and that he knew his repu.
tation for honesty and integrity TO be
good. On cross examination the wit.
ness admitted that Craper had q vio-
lent temper which was easily pro-
voked.

COSTERS' ENGLISH.
At Least 1t Is Supposed to BE English,
but 1t DOesn't Look Like 1t.

English costers have language of
their own. There is nothing very re-
markable about it, its chief character
istic being a palpable kind of back
spelling, says Tit-Bits.
In money matters coster will speak
of halfpenny as d "fatch,' while
"gen" is shilling; but "teaich-guy"
is eight shillings. "Couter" means a
sovereign, "net-gen" passes for half a
sovereign, half crown being given the
somewhat unpronounceable term,
"fatchynork." -.
A curious method of expressing multi

means "a good Market" "dabheno," n

for "a regular bad one"
eyes" and "no" are represented by
mo" and "say." tumble to your bar
rikin" expresses understand you."
"Flash it" signifies "show it," Gross
chap" means thief. "Showfuls" is an
equivalent for bad money.
"Do the tightner"-a very expressive
term, the derivation of wfich is not
difficult to understand-means Ego to
dinner" "Nommus" stands for "be
off," and "tol" is SHARE"

"THEATER SICKNESS"
A New Disease Discovered by a French
Physician.

"Theater sickness" is the name of the
new disease recently discovered by the
eminent French physician, DR.. Morti-
cole, which is at present a topic of a
good deal of discussion in scientific and
lay circles in Paris. The doctor declares
that 'theater sickness" and sea sickness
resemble one another, take their VIC
tins entirely unawares, and prey espe-
cially on women The symptoms con-
sist of giddiness, loss of consciousness,
deep faint, and in perverse cases the
malady causes death. 1t seizes victim
after he hasgazed long at the stage, and
more commonly in tragedy than in
comedy, and, in brief, it constitutes a
species of asphyXia. When men feel
"theater sickness" coming OH they be-
come, according to DR.. Morticole, obliv-
ious to all considerations of locality and
put their heads between their knees,
while women feel an inclination to re-
cline with their feet at an acute angle
above their heads, so excessive is the
vertigo. Fortunately, cases of "theater
sickness" are as yet the exception
rather than the rule. A theater where
all the mems heads would be bowed
down between their knees, and where
all the women were to have their feet
in the air, would furnish a strange mix
ture of the mournful and of the hilari-
Gus. .--.

AASoEosInB experience OF an Indian
aPolis Gentleman.
No trouble is more common or
more misunderstood than nervous
dyspepsia. People having it think
that their nerves are TO blame and are
surprised that they are not cured by
nerve redicine and spring remedies;
the real sat Of the mischief is lost
sight Of; the stomach is the organ to
be looked after. f.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not
have any pain whatever in the stom-
ach, nor perhaps any of the usual
symptoms OF stomach weakness. Ner-
Yous dyspepsia shows itself not in
the stomach SO much as in nearly
every other organ; in some cases the
heart palpitates and is irregular; in
others the kidneys are affected; in
others the bowels are copstipated,
with headaches; still others are
troubled with loss of flesh and uppe-
tlte, with accumulation of gas, sour
risings and heartburn.
Mr.. A. W. Sharper of No. 81 Pros
pect ST., Indianapolis, Ind. writes as
follows: "a motive of pure gratitude
prompts me to write these few lines
regarding the new and valuable med
icine, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. 1
have been a sufferer from nervous
dyspepsia for the last four years;
have used various patent medicines
and other remedies without any favor
able results. They sometimes gave
temporary relief until the effects Of
the medicine wore off. I attributed
this to my sedentary habits, being a
bookkeepcr with little physical exer-
else, but l am glad to state that the
tablets have overcome all these OBJ
stacles, for I have gained in flesh,
sleep better and am better in every
way. The above ID written not for
notoriety but is based on actual fact"

INTOXICANTs IN WARFARE.
From a Pli

From a Physicians Letter In the sun.
1t is encouraging to intelligent and
progressive minds. even at this late pc
riod in our boasted civilization, to learn
that the house committee on alcoholc
liquor traffic has rendered report unanl-
mously declaring that the canteen at SOL
diers' homes and army posts Is not only
detrimental to discipline, but has a gen.
eral demoralizing effect and no corre-
spending benefit. This committee might
well go further, and with truth and JUS
tice, demonstrated by long experience,
state what has been established as a
fact that alcoholic liquor is not only
detrimental to discipline and generally
demoralizing in it's effects. but that 1t Is
detrimental In it's effects upon the physi-
cal nervous, and mental powers and quail
ifications of those who use it.
No person Is better. either mentally or
physically, for having fused alcoholic
liquor in any form. Field Marshal Lord
Wolseley has demonstrated this fact. un-
der the most trying ordeal, with the Brit
ish army in tropical country; and
many large manufacturing firms In this
country and in others have found, by
prolonged experimentation, that the best
work of every character and kind is al
ways done by the employees who are abb
stainers, or by others when absolutely
free from alcohol.
BY all means abolish the use of Hlco-
holc liquor among our troops, and give
them tea, coffee, cola, or even strych-
nine and digitalline. under the direction
of the army and navy surgeons, and a
wholly different class of men will be
found on duty. enabled to endure the
greatest fatigue possible for the indi-
vidual. with always a clear head. steady
nerve, calm in judgment and an ener-
gizing effect each day, which will bring
surprising results. Alcohol first excites
and overstimulates the nervous and ar
terial systems, and then causes a dulling
of the perceptive faculties.

A COMING CITIZEN.
From the Utica Press.

From the Utica Press.
If his life is spared and the war lasts
long enough to give scope to his activity,
Theodore Roosevelt will return from the
fields of battle one of the most famous
men of the United States. His career
may already be called a brilliant one. 1t
is quite in contrast with that chosen by
most young men possessing his environ
ment. He has from the beginning sought
to serve the public good. He has shown
courage In every position in which he has
been placed. His work in the refOrmatio
of the New York police force is particu-
larly well-romembeTed. In his brief term
as assistant secretary of the navy he rem
dered service of the most important char
acter. When he resigned this post there
was sincere regret on the part OF Presi-
dent Mckinley, but Mr. Roosevelts de-
sire to go to the front was gratifed, and
by gallant conduct at Santiago he has
won the colonelcy of the Rough Riders,
in whose organiza tion he was largely in
strumental No doubt greater honors are
In store for Colonel Roosevelt, and he viii
be sure to deserve them, His example is
worth much TO the young men of the
country. 1t shows them the right path to
pursue i'm peace and in war The United
States can not have too many citizens
like Theodore Roosevelt. He has his
faults, but they are lost TO view in con-
sideration of his intense purpose to be OF
use in his day and generation.

States May 25, He has been in poor
health for some time. but preferred to
come down for the naval battle before
leaving his command. The ceremonies
attending his departure were quite ap-
propriate and affecting. All the men

How The Country
Accepts The News
From the Philadelphia Enquirer.

From the Philadelphia Enquirer.
TP THIRTY DAYS after his departure
from Tampa General Shafter has
received the surrender, not only
of the city of Santiago but of
nearly the whole of She province
of that name, with an army corps esti-
mated at 2j,0O0 men. AS against this
there is a loss of the American forces of
about 260 men dead and some 1900 wound
ed nearly all of whom will recover. In
addition, the fine squadron of Cervera
has been completely destroyed, with the
loss of one man. We think this is a
complete answer to those yellow journals
who have been criticising the conduct of
the war from it's beginning, who have
told the administration daily that 1t was
doing drong and have laid down the cam
paigns for their guidance which have
been refused. We doubt If the history
of warfare shows anything more admir-
able than this. 1t will be hard to find a
case of an army so hastily collected.
transported by sea, fighting its way from
a landing point, besieging a city and cap
turing it with an army greater than it's
own numbers. together with immense
territory, in the space of month. 1t is
a high compliment to the valor of the
American soldiers to the strategy OF the
American generals, and to the power of
our navy.

Terms of Peac :.

Public opinion i'm the United States
forced the war with Spain; public
opinion must decree the conditions of
peace. Those in authority will recog-
nize that their duty is to act in obedi-
ence to the general sentiment of the
people rather than along any lines Of
personal sentiment. 1t is possible, for
instance, that President Mckinley, be-
ing by nature a most generous man,
would personally incline toward leni-
ency to Spain; his individual choice.
perhaps. would be to let Spain off as
easily as possible. We do not know
that this is the situation; we simply
assume it, Such an attitude would do
credit 10 his sympathies and his mag
nanimity. But being officially the cx-
ecutive of the will Of the people he will
do as the people desire and it, there
fore. is now for the people through
press and public men to declare their
intentions.
Our Interpretation of the general
judgment is that while il is Indifferent
to the matter of money recompense
from Spain, preferring to rest its de-
mands on a higher basis, and while it
entertains no feeling Of bitterness or
thirst for revenge, yet it can view in
no other light than as an imperative
moral duty that Spain he separated
from all her colonies. Spanish colonial
administration stands sef-revealed as
so grossly cruel, unfair. dishonest and
inefficient that Il war begun on a
Humanitarian basis cannot compromise
its own motives by stopping shpit of a
complete undoing of these inhuman
colonial bonds. How the people of
Spain choose to govern themselves is
very largely concern and risk of their
own, with which we need not interfere;
but how they govern other people is a
matter of humanity, and since we have
undertaken to execute humanity's COM
mission in S?ain's premises we must,
for our own reputation and conscience,
do a thorough job,
This being true, it remains to save
Spain from false hopes and to this end
candid declaration of intentions is
fast becoming an international neces-
sity.
