Power of a Political Machine.
John Wanamoker.

John Wanamoker.
1t is a fact, though a Pennsylvania
should blush to say it, that any person
who may try to protect the honor and
guard the interests of his State, by Op-
posing the Quay machine, takes his bust
ness interests, his reputation, and al
most his own life, in his own hands
No sooner does man show independence
and refuse to indorse the misdeeds of
the political machine than he is taken
in hand to be disciplined.
If he is the employee Of a corporation,
he Is threatened with discharge; if he
is a merchant, he is bOycotted; if he is
clerk, the head of the firm is notified
that he must be suppressed; If he is
interested in a corporation, the Compa-
ny's interests are threatened; if he is
a director or stOckhOlder in a bank
large customers are found to threaten the
withdrawal of their business; if he is
a physician, good patrons object; If he
is a lawyer, his clients are given orders
and threaten to leave him; if he is a
preacher, members Of his congregation
protest; IL man daring to be independ-
ent OF political dictatiOn is in debt, he
is threatened by those who hold his OBJ
legations. This is not the result of acci-
dent, but of method. 1t is the result of
a carefully planned and manipulated sys-
tenn that extends into every county in
the State and reaches all classes of busi-
ness. 1t is everyday and every-year
working machinery; manned by host of
political retainers, who report to the
central Office the first symptoms Of ma
chine insubordination, and who are ex-
pected to advise ways and means Of ap-
plying the silencing and crushing pres
sure,
But there Is a class of men beyond
these influences which the machine must
reach. They are men who have to their
credit long years of honorable profess
slOnal and business records; men who
are leaders in their respective cOmmuni-

High Mass on a Warship.::
Washington Star.

Washington Star
The Baltimore was flagship, and the
music Of the high mass, which was one
Of MOzart's, was under the direction Of
the ships bandmaster, who utilized the
services Of his fine string orchestra to
render the music effectively. But the
real feature of the music was the singing
of some twenty-five Roman Catholic
priests, bearded men OF a mOnastic or
der, with its Hawaiian headquarters in
monastery on the outskirts of Honolulu
The chaplain had invited these priests
to assist him in the celebration. They
were all trained singers with noble
voices, and the music had the effect Of
the male choir heard in the Sistine chapel
in Rome. One Of the monks presided at
a small cabinet organ. The young chap
lain was a fine baritone singer, who
easily discounted all of the waTd-roOm
officers in the singing Of deep water,
heavy weather" songs at the mess table
after dinner He sang the difficult mass
well, and the swelling answers to his
intonatiOns by the choir of priests were
beautiful and inspiring. Naval officers
OF experience in every quarter of the
world afterward declared that they had
never heard such music before. Three
of the trumpeters of the band sounded
the "Sanctus" and the "Te Deum."

FAME's COST.

On, scorn not things Of low degree
And sigh for wealth and statel
Ear better court humility
Than burdens Of the great.
For no who wins ambitions fight
Can never be At ease.
He gains, It's true. a worldly height,
But has n world 10 please
For cares increase as hOnors grow,
And In his new estate
He finds, though bright those honors glow,
'Tis thraldom to the great.
The fatterers that about him thrOng
Each has some dole TO aslr.
To please them Is no idle song,
But herculean task.
We value things as they appear
Nor count the cost and pain
Which line the road TO that bright sphere
The envied ones attain.
Fame Is no royal heritage.
Ita crowns are free to all,
But who It's dizziest heights would gauge
Must risk the diZziest fall.
Then sigh not for ambitions need,
It's scepter and It's crown.
Uneasy lies tho kingly head,
Though pillowed upon down.

Gas Engines for Ranches.
San Francisco Call.

San Francisco Call.
Nearly every big ranch in the State
has suffered more or less for the want of
water. The rainfall has been away be-
low the average, and many a farmer has
been put to straits to save even a part
OF his crop. Quite a number of the
larger ranch owners have lost their faith
in the clouds and are now pinning it to
gasoline. Gas engines are being erected
in all parts of the State, and when they
are in thorough working order the
farmer will be in a position to snap his
fingers at a dry season.
Among those who have transferred
their allegiance to gasoline is Henry Du-
tard, Of Santa Clara county. A sixty
horsepower engine is now being built for
his ranch, and when completed it will
be one Of the very few Of its kind in
the United States. 1t will run a CEN
trlfugal pump that Is eighty-seven feet
below the surface of the ground.
A twenty horsepower engine is already
at work on the Armstrong ranch, and a
duplicate is now being put in position.
They will pump the water from the Sa-
linas river, and when in full operation
will be able to deliver into the reservoir
100000 gallons an hour. The original
pump Is now supplying Mr.. Armstrong;
own ranch, and the new one Is to work
ten-inch centrifugal pump to supply his
neighbors.

The army chapel recently completed
and dedicated at Fort Riley is the most
expensive structure of its kind in the
United States The fort, which has about
$500 men, has long been in need of a
suitable place in which to hold services,
and has heretofore utilized The mess hall
for this purpose, it being the only room
on the reservation available. In the past
few years $500, 900 has been expended on
the buildings at the post, but the new
chapel is by far the finest Of the collec-
tion. The dedication services were con-

Master, which is the greatest com

Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love

Sewage for Fertilization.
New York Post.

New York Post,
The sewage farm at Acheres, which
is fertillzed by the sewage of Paris, has
been successful both for the publication
OF the sewage and the production Of va
riOus crops. The sewage, which amounts
to 17,66O,0OO cubic feet per diem, flows
as far as Cllchy by gravity, and is there
raised 118 feet and distributed over the
farm. At present the pumping station
is Of 1900 horsepower capacity, but it is
to be increased to 5000, and to deal with
the output of the Paris sewers would re-
quire a farm Of 1,12O acres, instead of
the 2,471 acres now under cultivation.
The land Is worth five times as much as
previously, and many of the land owners
are eager to have the sewage supplied to
their properties. When the sewage
leaves the farm, so great is the degree
of publication attained that bacterial
examination reveals fewer bacteria to
the cubic centimetre than is the case of
most streams supposed to be uncOntami-

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

BY local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
ditiOn Of the mucous lining of the Eus-
taChian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness Is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to it's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out Of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition OF the mucous surfaces.

The steamboat excursion down the Sa-

jolly and informal affair which the Pres

was allowed to relax and take things in a
free and easy way He ate sandwiches
and deviled crabs from a plate upon his
knee and wiped his lips upon a paper nap
kin. He chatted Familiarity with the To-
cal committee, told stories and sat for his
photograph as often as the kodak artists
asked him. The official photographer
