lngerSolIism illustrated.

In the faith of the Christian the soul
parts company from the body in death.
The being who has been the object of love
and responsive to it, who has been capable
of thought and achievement, is not ex-
tinguished to those who believe in i'm
mortality. They see in death a veil drawn
between earthly existence and the con-
tinuing life of the soul. To the material
list the stoppage of the heartbeat ends all.
The persons in whom affection and friend
ship are centered may, as he is convinced,
be wholly eXtermnated in an instant,
leaving nothing but memory without hope
and sad remnant of clay that must be
resigned to the chemistry of nature. I'm
der such circumstances the materialist
clings with desperate tenacty to the rigid
form which he believes to be the last WISH
BILE or invisible token of past association.
The corruptible is all that remains to his
vision, and the unspeakable consolation of
the Christian he condemns and rejects. In
the event of death materIalism has no
rites to offer except those that shape
themselves into an eternal farewell. There
may be eloquent tributes to a precious
past, but the enc upon whose body the
earth closes is denied a future, and the
cruel epitaph is 1.-The End
Col Ingersoll's death was instanta-
neous. One moment he was the man of
genius, with millions upon millions of
thoughts and memories in his BRAIN with
the fondest devotion in his heart for his
family, and yet, if materialism is to be
credited, all persisted the next moment
when the tide of life suddenly stood still.
The body was worn out but what of that
mysterious essence and power that was
lngersoll? Was it turned to nothingness
IN the twinkling of an eye, utterly de-
stroyed when the mechanical forces of the
body were arrested? The materialist as
sumes that it was, though as powerless to
prove it as he is to disprove the converse.
There has been hesitation as to the dispo-
sition to be made of Col. Ingersoll's re-
mains and as to the ceremonies of his
funeral that is significant Materialism is
COMPOUNDED in the presence of death and
its own barren version of it. There is
something even in the hearts of skeptics
warning them that their creed does vio-
lence to the deepest promptings of the
human mind. [St. Louis Globe Democrat.

Messenger Boys Strike.

More than 100 boys employed by the
Boston District Messenger Company went
on strike unexpectedly Monday, July
81, and proceeded to make things lively
in the business section of the city.
They were joined by about 400 young
hoodlums, who, the officers of the COM
pany say, egged on the boys to the acts
of rowdyism they committed. The hood
lums and the strikers created consterna.
ton in the vicinity of the offices of the
Postal Telegraph Company, pummelled
and scared the boys who would not join
them, and viciously assaulted Police In
spector William T. Leggett, whom they
knocked unconscious on Devonshire
street, and from whom they took a pris-
oner who had been arrested for assaulting
another messenger boy. The places Of
the strikers have been supplied.

The Manufacturing Industries.

The branches of manufacture show as
tonishing activity for the midsummer
season. Strikes of freight handlers have
caused embarrassment on few roads,
though less than was feared, and street
car strikes are of local Importance, espec-
tally at Cleveland, while at Youngstown
several thousand iron workers have struck
for higher wages, and the dockmen at
Lake Erie ports threaten to strike which
would have seri' US consequences for the
iron interest The disposition to get the
benefit of steady work seems to have given
place in many quarters to an inclination
to strike on slender pretexts because es-
adjustments are crowded with business.
Yet the interruption thus far has been
less than in July of most years. Dunn S

story of a Slave.

To be bound hand and foot for years by
the chains of disease is the worst form of
slavery. George D. Williams of Manches-
ter. Mich tells how such a slave was made
free. He says: :" My wife has been so help
less for five years that she could not turn
over in bed alone. After using two bottles
of Electric Bitters, she is wonderfully i'm
proved and able to do her own work" This
supreme remedy for female diseases quickly
cures nervousness, sleeplessness, melan-
Choly, headache, backache, falnting and
dizzy spells. This miracle working medicine
is god-send to weak, sickly, run down peo-
pie. Every bottle guaranteed. Only SO

While some of the reports go outside
of our inquiries to complain of the
contract" service, or price, or both,
not word of complaint is made in any
report of municipal" service or price,
and several are quite enthusiastic over
results attained. A few towns report
'nearly self sustaining" which, If added
TO our list, would make the above
"average cost" considerably less.
Under either system the profits are
made almost wholly on the domestic

to see that those who use electric lighls
for home and stores pay for the public

CIENFUEGos, CUBA, Jan. IL.
DEAR EDIToR-I will take this op-
portunity to write you about the Sixth
regiment leaving Camp Poland. 1t
was on the morning OF the 9th of Dec.
and we arrived at Charleston on the
Goth. We went by way of Atlanta, Ga,
and Greenville, S. G. The scenery
along this route is beautiful. We left
Charleston the same day on the
transport Minnewoska No. "a. During
the time we were on this transport,
which was five days, we were mustered
in for our pay day. On the third day
out we sighted San Salvador, Crooked
and Long Islands. and on the fourth
the east end of Cuba. All we lost en-
route was one mule which was thrown
overheard in the Atlantic. When we
arrived at Cienfuegos harbor we could
see the block houses on the side hills.
and the lighters were there to unload
us, which took about four days. When
we arrived at Cienfuegos we could see
the Spanish soldiers watching our
transport. The Cubans do not treat us
as the Spanish do; they are sneaking
class of people and will steal every
thing within reach. We are the first
regiment that arrived here. Some ol
the natives are nearly starved while
others have no clothing to wear.

When the Gar of Russia greeted
Count Tolstoi by kissing him upon the
mouth and both ckeeks, and then
asked him for an opinion regarding his
majesty's disarmament scheme, the
Count very plainly told HIM that it
would seem more like the real thing
when the Gear would pratlce little of
his own preaching. That is generally
a good way to convince the people of
the sincerity of our profession.

senator Turley, of Tennessee, has at
tanned national distinction by declining
reelection to the United States Senate
on the ground that he ia unwilling To
devote the latter part OF his life to a
constant struggle for Office and that
tennessee has many sons better fitted
Tor the place. In letter formally de.
Ginning re-e lection the senator insists
THAT he prefers private life to public
ONCE. Such sentiments are so extraor-
binary nowadays as to be called with
proprietary nn.American. The Ameri.
can In public life at present is perfectl Y
willing to struggle for office and con-
siders the fact that his state has 'other
sons better fitted for place irreval ent.
lie says nothing about it himself and
objects to being reminded OF it. AS for
the charms of private life, he wants Of
hce to make him living. Senator Tur-
ley Is an abnormal man. His sentiments
DO himself, his state and the nation hon
or and his statute ought to decorate the
entrance to the national capitol"

AT New England society dinner
some years ago, Mark Twain had
Just finished piquant address when
Mr.. Evarts arose, showed both his
hands down into his trousers peck
cts, as was his habit, and laughingly
remarked, Doesn't it strike this
company as little unusual that a
professional humOrist should be
funny?" Mark Twain waited until
the laughter excited by this sally
had subsidized, and then drawled out,
Doesn't it strike this company as a
little unusual that LAWYER should
have his hands in his own pockets?"
