SATURDAY, NOVEMBER %. 1898
This paper is Democratic IN principles
and is independent an ats vieaos on q" local
questions.


Notwithstanding the awful disclosures
regarding the murder of our troops by the
Mckinley administration which the I'M
willing Wan Commission is daily eltciting,
the evils of the opening months Of the
campaign still continue. Fever and death
in Cuba, death and fever in Porto Rico,
death and fever in Manila. and death ard
fever even in .'our own territory" of
Hawaii are daily features of the news re-
ports. In the home camps. sickness is rife
and hardships of a wanton and unnsces-
gary kind lead to disorders verging on
mutiny almost every week.
The latest scandal is that Of the First
New York Volunteer Regiment, which is
perishing off the earth at Honolulu. The
War Department itself has been seized
with panic at the awful mortality. and
has ordered the regiment home 10 San
Francisco, and has directed the removal
of the camps from the sites where incon-
pefence and jobbery have located them 10
the higher lands of the island.
There has been no fighting in Hawaii;
none Of the strained conditions Of wal
have compelled commanders and staff
organizations to take sanitary risks 10 ac-
complish military results. The problem
for Ayers Amateurs was hardly more
serious than the summer eneampment Of
a National Guard regiment at Sea Girt or
Peekskill.
Still the slaughter goes on. The news
dispatches of Thursday showed 162 men
sick on November IA, with s. cases of ty-
phoid, and a steadily growing death roll.
But there is no investigation. There IS no
attempt TO fix responsibility. There is no
effort to punish those who are guilty Of
producing this state of things by their ig-
norance ard Indifference. Worst Of all,
there is no sign of any effort to substi-
tute competent and conscientious men for
the somebody's sons and the Republican
heelers whose appointment to the service
by the President has been the source of
all the disasters of the war.

When unsolicited testimonials are con
stantly received from mon Of such Dromi-
nence as the distinguished citizen whose
portrait is here printed-when among
the thousands of letters received by the
proprietors Of Paine's celery compound
there are to be found in almost every mail
some from men and women of national
reputation, it is easily understood why
this remedy which makes people well has
proven its remarkable efficacy among all
classes Of people.
No other remedy has the hearty ap-
prevail of a like body Of educated men
and women and professional men, nor
has there ever been a remedy that was
welcomed in so many intelligent, prudent
homes, where pains is taken to get only
the best in so vital a matter. In such
families all over the country Paine's
celery compound is the first and only
remedy used
Prof. Phelps had studied the nerves in
health n disease. when web nourished
and when und~er-nourished, in men and
women and children years before he look
ed for the remedy. Paine's celery COM
pound is the outcome of his entire pro-
fessionai life. II is the one remedy that
the world could not lose today at any
price.
Paino's celery compound induces the
body to take on solid flesh.

OPEN MEETINGS..
High School Custom to Be Re-
v1ved.
He does not improve.

Now that winter is here. the several So
cieties in the High School are striving
TO revive the custom of holding omen air
meetings in the assembly room. These
meetings were always a source of pleas
ure TO the invited guests and they served
to bring the societies into closer touch
with the faculty and pupils. The great
est benefit is derived when the meetings
are held jointly; that is, when The de-
bate or Grafton, or both, are contested for
between two societies.
When meetings are conducted in this
manner competition is created, ana in
tense interest is excited among the pu-
pills. The eighth grade pupils in many m
stances, form their opinions Of the socie-
ties at their meetings. It is hoped tnat
the meetings will be revived shortly.

At last it has been discovered.
Who?
Why that shining paladin Of political
romance, who is to overthrow rings,

of political corruption and to restore to
the people of the State, county and city
their rights, as pure and as unsullicd as
they descended from the fathers who
chucked tea chests overheard and twisted
the lions tail over a century ago..
Yes, he has been found. Perhaps, it
would be more proper to say that the
up-to-date Sir Gallahad has been reveal
ed. for in truth he was found out and
discovered by himself, and those to
whom he disclosed himself in all his
enulgence were a little band of chosen
devotees.
And who are they?
Why, they are the Twelfth Ward Nc
EVAN Association.
Then the restorer of all things politi-
cally is none other than the yexillary Of

Bijou Theatre, Jersey City,

Lost in Siberia will be the play given
at the Bijou Theatre next week. Russia
is a land of extremes in many cases. In
its daily routine the grave is constantly
casting its shadow over the gay, and the
most gorgeous wealth is placed in con-
tinual contrast to the most squalid and
abjeet poverty. Extremes in Russia are
nowhere more forcibly Illustrated than in
the great forwarding prison or the road
to Siberia, n the great annual fair at
Novroerod.
In the former hundreds of poor unfor-
Inmates whose only crime consists of love
and belief in Gods greatest mercy, lib
erty,'' are huddled together into a long
low. narrow pen that reeks with filth, the
accumulation Of thousands who. ave
passed on before into a living grave in the
mines of Siberia. All is misery. Want,
cold, and cruelty are the only sensations
seen and felt by these human cattle. And
the contrast presented by Novrogrod in
fair time. The gayest, most gorgeous
glittering Kaleidoscope panorama Of
humanity TO be found on earth, a carnival
of all nations in a semi-Oriental city, with
the mountebank and Merry Andrews Of
the entire world gathered to embellish the
festivities. 1t is seldom that one is per-
mitted to look upon such a scene, but
those who are fortunate enough to wit
ness the presentation of the new Russian
play Lost in Siberia will see a clever
stage reproduction OF these scenes, and
Russia in all her extremes. The produc-
tien was painted from photographs taken
in Siberia and Russia and is without a
doubt the greatest mounting ever given a
dramatic play. Other clever scenes are
the famous Jewish quarters in Odessa,aad
the gorgeous governors palace. The com
pany was selected with great care and a
most satisfactory evenings entertain
ment is promised. The popular matinee
Wednesday and Saturday win continue at
bargain prices.

HEcLEcTING THE SINGING,
Some High School Pupils Seem t
Have No Music In Their Souls.

Some of the senior members Of High
School are complaining about the lack Of
interest taken in the singing lessons
which are given each Monday morning.
They say that the pupils in the rear Of
the assembly room fail to sing, and that
at present the lessons are far from being
successful. They want to know what is
the use Of having a professor to teach
them If no interest Is taken in the les-
sons.
Unless more attention is paid, they say
they would not be surprised IL the lessons
were discontinued until pext spring. when
the commencement choir will be orgaa-
tied.
Another thing they would like is the
teaching Of a fea~ march songs.
