PHILLIPS BROOKS SA|D Il.
1t Has a World or Meaning to All
But the Sick.
To the Sick It Rings Like a Knell
to Happiness-Can You Under
stand and Appreciate It's Deep
Meaning?

Rev. Phillips Brooks said, "The man
who knows what it is to act, to work,
cries out, This alone is to live.'''
How many there are, broken down
in health and strength, who would
gladly test the truth Of the divine's
words, but who feel themselves unable
TO work and act. They have lost their
health and strength. They are run
down, weak, tired. They go to bed at
night fatigued in every limb, feeling
that life is hardly worth living; they
wake in the morning unrefreshed after
a restless night, with dull and aching
head, impaired digestion, dispirited,
languid and unfit for the days duties.
Happiness, then, means good health,
and if you will follow the advice and
example Of Mr. L. J. Boardman, Of

ANOTHER ROBBERY.

The foreigners who are thickly pop.
ulated below the Wheeling Iron and
Steel works, seem to be enticing prey
tor burglars. The facts OF the robbery
of a Polander, who lost between $500
and s400, which was taken from a
trunk in a house where he boarded,
was mentioned in Sundays Register.
A similar robbery occurred SATURDAY.
night in the same locality, but will
a considerably less loss While John
Nokatchko, Pole who is employed
at the Riverside plate mill, was at
tending a dance at Dolan's hall, bur
glars went through his rooms and
stole SS11 in money which was Sc
GREETED in trunk. The robbers com
pletely ransacl1ed the house, opened
up mattresses, overturned trunks,
looked under carpets, pulled out draw
ers and made a complete search for
more money. They evidently expect
ed to get a good sum, but were disap-
pointed, as Nokatchko had deposited
a snug amount in a bank several days
before. His room mate was sleeping

WHY HALT AT SEEDS?

Boston GIObe.
The main objection to the appropriation
bv Congress of $190,0c0 for the distribution
Of seed must rest upon the ground OF IN
equality. Mr.. Fitzgerald, of Boston, pro-
posed a broadening of the scope OF the
distribution by adding fish hooks and bail
for the fishermen of his district, but this
would not go far enough. The average
man does not wish to be left out. Why
should not the government issue pens and
naner to writers, brushes and paints to
artists colts to stock breeders, eggs to
noultrv raisers, and ultimately even
brains to congressman.

A SIRE WINNER

The local political pot is still boil
ing, but the greatest interest and the
only enthusiasm seems to be in the
possession of the Democrats. There
are from one to a half dozen candi-
dates for each nomination on the
Democratic ticket. Various parties of
prominence and ability have been
mentioned for the Mayoralty nomina-
ton, but it appears that there is a
general desire to give the place to
Sam Smith, who, however, has not yet
signifed his intention Of running. His
friends pick him out for sure win
ner and are confident that they will
finally induce him to make the race.

6enW0OQ NOTES.
A day scarcely passes that does not
bring with it news OF a reduction in
wages IN this locality, The heavy re-
duction made at the Wheeling steel
works was mentioned in the Saturday
and Sunday Register. This was uneX-
pected, but the end was not in sight
yet. Yesterday morning President
Hubbard gave notice to the employees
OF the plate mill that there would b.
an immediate Change ii the arrange
ment Of the wage scale for that de
partment. The heaters were told thai
henceforth they would be expected to
make six heats instead of five to the
turn. and the helpers We're notified that
instead Of being paid by the day they
would hereafter be paid according TO
the tonnage basis. The present pay
Of the three grades Of helpers range
from $2.C0 to $3.50 per day. Under
the new plan the $500 helpers will
make about S1.60 and the Others &C
cordingly, for they could not be ex
pected to earn as much as they do al
present unless they could make an I'm
usually large amount Of tonnage
which can only be accomplished with
a few orders.
The company gave notice that the
change would go into effect this morn
ing, although many Of the men object
ed to this claiming that they had an
agreement with the company that il
a change was made on either side that
a thirty days notice should be given,
but it seems that after the strike OF
the plate mill men last summer and
when tie settlement was made that
nothing was said about this rule to
continue in effect during the future
Accordingly the company took advan'
tage of this and will, therefore, lose
10 time in getting the benefit at once
The heaters say that they will & OF
be directly affected at present by the
change, but expect that in a very
short time they will also be told that
they are making too much money and
will be asked TO put through the siS
heats for the same wages that they
now get for five The probability II
that the helpers viii accept the re
duction, as they have no other alter.
native, for they know that if they
made strike that outside parties
would be procured Immediately to fiji
their places.
Benwood people are commenting on
the fact that the Register has been
the only paper to inform the people
about the heavy reductions being made
at the Wheeling steel and iron works
and say that if there had been an in
crease instead of reductions that the
news would be hurried into print by
the other papers under flaming head
lines. These papers seem to be aware
Of the fact that prosperity has gotten
a severe black eye in Benwood lately.

A SCIENTIFIC SCHEDULE.

Utica Observer.
The tariff was passed for the specific
purpose Of increasing wages and opening
mills. The cotton schedule was praised
as the most scientific" protective tariff
schedule ever devised. Yet within six
months wages come tumbling down in
the very industry which has the most
perfect protection. What an illustration
of the false principle OF political econ
omy that the protective doctrine rests
upon, 1t is an object lesson to working
men everywhere of the inability Of protec-
ton to protect.

The LADIES KISSED HIM.
The Hero Of Santiago de Cuba Enveloped
in the Fond Embraces Of Admiring
LADY 1lerks.

Washington. Aug. 27.-Admiral Schley
came to the Navy department today
quite early, and after a call upon Secrc-
tary Allen. emerged from the main door
of the secretary's office. His presence
had become known. and as soon as he
was seen, cheers rent the air from clerks
who had assembled to catch a glimpse
of the hero of Santiago. Officers and
clerks from the Navy. State and War
departments. crowded the corridors
leading up to the Navy department
until it was impossible to pass through.
They crowded around the admiral
eagerly reaching forward to shake
hands. The lady clerks were even
more demonstrativc, and the Admiral
was kissed by old and young without
discrimination. 1t was finally necessary
to form line and pass the crowd around
through the large rooms of the sccre-
tary's Office in order to give all "A chance
to shake hands with the admiral.
Many prominent army officers took
part in the demonstration. The Ad-
miral, however, finally escaped into Cap
tain Crowninshield's office. Admiral
Schley will leave Washington this after
noon. He expects to sail for Puerto
Rico next Wednesday with the military

APPEAL TO M'KINLRY
Philippine Islands Committee in Eu-

cerning Church Matters
WANT THE FRIARS EXPELLED
Accused Of Acts of Hostility Against Both
Americans and Natives Asked
in suppressing Institutions Fos-
tered by Monks.

London, Aug. 27.-The Philippine
islands committee in Europe has ad-
dressed letter to President Mckinley
regarding the appeals made to him by
high Roman Catholic ecclesiastics of
America to protect the religious orders
on the islands. The expulsion of the
friars, the committee contends, is nee
essary antecedent. The letter names
particularly the archbishop of Mayla
and the bishops of Nueya, Sagovia. and
Nueva Caseres, whose acts of hostility
against both the natives and Americans,
and against the Jesuits and other re-
spected religious institutions are con-
demned by every one"
Tha committee urges President Nc
Kinley ''to aid the Filipinos to suppress
the immortality of the diabolcal institu-
tions fostered by those monks and the
letter concludes as follows: ''Your
name can never be associated with that
of the frars; and the sense of right of
the noble nation at whose head you are
placed; will never permit the ever vie
torious and humanitarian stars and
stripes to protect them"

9TH INFANTRY'S SUFFERINCS.
The Old, Old Story Of Improper and In
sufficient Food Hardtack Only
for the Sick.

Camp Wykoff, New York, Aug 27.-
The transport Yucatan reached the
pier today, and began discharging six
companies of the 7th United States in
fantry which she brought from Santi-
ago. Seven men died on the passage,
and throe more crossed the divide last
night.
The Yucatan had 200 sick men on
board. 1t is alleged the ship left Santi-
ago without sufficient quantity of
proper food or supplies for the sick
and reached here without any food but
army rations which sick soldiers were
unable to eat. When General Wheeler
learned.the state of sisairs, he sent on
board some proper supplies. The sick
men are still on board the vessel wait
ing until there is room for them in the
hospitals.
