Tic snfr.r,nrs of Our snla,sr..

The stories OF the sufferings of the
American soldiers now engaged in a
vigorous campaign In the Philippines
are narrowing in the extreme. Ad-
vices from Manila say that during tho
expedition of Gen. Lawton, "scores Of
mon dropping out sick were left at
various towns without adequate sup
plies or attendance. Some of them in
desperation dragged their way back
through mud, flood and jungle as best
they could. The horses of the advane-
ing force were dying, and many OF the
soldiers, even some of the officers, were
marching half naked, their clothes
having been torn to pieces in scrarnb-
ling through the iungles. Some of them
weiereduced almost to breech- -clouts,
ard hundreds were hnrefooted, their
shoes being worn cut. All were living
on any sort of provisions. Bread was
rare, and carabao meat and bananas
were the staples.
The thought that these men are
suffering in this awful manner not in
defence Of our<governmento or its princi-
pies, but in war of conquest against
a people who are fighting for liberty
and Independence, makes the recital all
the more horrible. No doubt these
soldiers would gladly endure all this,
and mole, in defence OF their county,
but to compel them to undergo such
tortures for the cause they are now en-
gagged in is nothing short Ct bloody

WH4N MorHER TUCKED ME- IN.
Hetty GarIand.

All, the quaint and curious carving
On the posts of that old bed
There were long-beaked, queer old griffin
Wearing crowns upon their head.
And they fiercely looked down Oh me
With u cold, sardonic grin;
was not afraid Of griflins
When my mother tucked me in.
What cared for dismal shadows,
Shifting up and dawn the floor,
Or the bleak and grnesome wind gusts
Beating gainst the close-shut door.
Or the rattling of the windows,
All the outside noise and din;
was safe and warm and happy
When my mother tucked me in.
Sweet and soft her gentle fingers,
As they touched my sunburnt face,
Sweet to me the waited odor
That enwrapped her dainty lace;
Then pat or two at parting,
And a goodnight kiss between;
All my troubles were forgotten
When my mother tucked me in.
Now the stricken years have borne me
Far away from 1--we and home,
Ali no mother leans above ME
In the nights that go and come.
But it gives me peace and comfort,
When my heart is sore within,
Just to lie right still and, dreaming,
Think my mother tucked ME in.
Oh. the gentle, gentle breathing
TO her dear hearts softer beat,
And the quiet, quiet moving
Of her soft-shod willing feet
And Time, some boom ask thee,
Whatso'er may be my sin,
When Pm dying let me see her.
AS she used TO tuck me in.
-Watchman.

A READING FROM TENNYSON.

The closing reading of her course
was given Tuesday Ey Mrs. We'll at
the New Century Club. Before begin
ming the considerations Of Tennyson,
she read, by request, 1.-THE Princes
Progress" by Christina Rossetti, who,
as lyric poet, ranks with Tennyson.
In this allegorical poem the Prince
symbolizes man who begins life with
infinite promise, but seduced from his
purpose, fingers by the way until it is
too late to fulfill his promised high
destiny.
1t has been said that the characters
portrayed Ey Tennyson are stained glass
characters, but when he pictures the
common affections and SORROWS Of every
day life his characters, ut least, are
vital In proof of this Mrs. We'll read
"The First Quarrel. % Scme OF his
poems almost paraphrase the bible and
prove him close student Of it. ..Dora, -
reads like a modern echo of the Book
of Ruth.
Tennyson was one OF the founders OF
the Metaphysical Club of London,
which was formed at a period when
Darwin's theory of evolution caused
such an upheaval among the different
classes If thinkers of his time. At this
club met men OF such varying beliefs
as Dean Stanley. james Martineau,
HUXLEY, Tyndall, Gladstone and Ben.
jamin Jowett. Here the vital ques-
tions of the day, especially the theory
OF evolution were discussed in untram-
melled and courteous debate. To
such gathering Tennyson sent his
poem, 1.-The Higher Pantheis'n,"
The sun, the moon, the stars. the hills and
the plains;
Are not these, o soul, the vision of Him
who reigns?
And the ear OF man cannot hear, and the
eye OF man cannot see:
But if we could see and hear, this vision--
were it not He?
This was followed by the exquisite
little poem
Flower in the cramnied wall.
| ! pluck you out Of the crannies;
| Hold you here, root and all, in my nand,
| Little tiower-but If could understand
| What you are, root and all. and all in all,
l should know what God and man is.
"Roses in the Terrace was addressed
to his wife, his beloved helpmate to
whom he referred for final criticism all
of his poems before publishing them.
1.-The Throttle" was read as showing
an old mans feelings as he neais the
great eternity in which all questions
are solved, and Crossing the Bar u:
the crown of his life's work and the
proof of his spiritual progress. A selec
tion from that richest tribute ever pait
to friend, '.In Memoriam'' was
gwen, and then Mrs. We'll read with
dramatic intensity Tennyson's nobl,
creation, "Guinivere, part of tn,
greatest epic poem since Milton. Or
1.-THE Idyls of the King" Tennysor
was engaged for 80 years, "heginninl
with the end, continuing with tho be
ginning and finishing with the middle
of his theme. which was taken from
the Arthurian Legends. This fine poem
shows Tennyson's deep philosophy o.
life. the soul free TO choose betweer
good and evil. A. S.

FRESH LAID EGGS SIX WEEKS OLD.

Dr. Mitchell Left n Copy of Her Wonderful
Preserving Formula TO Her Children.
Phladephia Evening Bulletin. Tuesday.
DR.. Isabel Mitchell. who died last
week at the county hospital, was the
inventor of formula for embalming
meats, fruits and vegetables which
promises to revoiutionize the embalm-
ing business.
Dr. Mitchell. it was supposed, had
destroyed the formula before her death,
but it seems that several years ago sho
gave sealed copies of tho recipes to her
daughter, with tho understanding that
the seals .woie not to be broken until
after her death. These recipes hayo
boen brought to light, and DIR.
Mitchell's son, II. B. Mitchell, and
his sister, Mrs. Ida Allan, who live in
Delaware, have taken steps to put the
famous process into operation.
Mr.. Mitchell says he thinks of start.
ing company to carry on the bust
ness, and he will shortly take steps to
have the process patented.
The process Is in the nature of dis
infeetant; it is said that no germ can
live where this disinfectant is present.
The formula has been carefully ex-
amined by several prominent physi-
clans, and they state that there is
positively nothing harmful in it, and
nothing foreign.
Meats have been kept for weeks and
in some experiments months by the
use of the formula.
Mr.. Mitchell says he has eaton eggs
that were six weeks old and that they
were as good as when first laid. The
eggs had been treated by his mother s
preserving recipe.

Our naval exhibit at Paris will un.

the models Of the vessels which de-
stroyed the Spanish fleets at Manila
and Santiago will probably be as popu-
laf as any exhibit in the whole exposi-
tion. Models have not been made OF
all the ships, but of types of war
vessels. They are now on exhibition
in Washington in the state. war and
navy building. The models were con
stIucted at the Washington navy yard,
and are exact reproductions of the
vessels, to the smallest detail. A model
Of the Maine will probably be the most
interesting to the average visitor. The
model was built prior to the destruction
of the battleship in Havana harbor.
A working model of a dry dock will
also be shown. 1t is an exact repro
duction of the timber dry docks which
are to be built at the Portsmouth,
Philadelphia and Mare Island yards.
According to the Marine Review, q

"The way to make crime repulsive,"
says the Milford News and Advertiser,
in aliuding to political corruption in
Delaware, is to magnify it," and this
sentiment the Morning News endorses
with the assertion, sit is true"
Well, possibly, but the question is as
to the manner Of magnifying it. A
crime may be magnified in the direc-
tion of gloriication. until the criminals
feel that they are great public bene-
factors. instead of vioators of the law.
This kind Of magnifying will not tend
to make crime repulsive.
We incline to the belief that the mere
magnifying Of crime will not answer
the purpose. The crime of ballot de.
bauchefy is sufficiently heinous to need
no magnifying. A better plan is that
suggested. by the Morning News, as
follows:
If every man detected in the act Of
buying votes or in paying voters TO
refrain from casting their ballots, and
every man suspected Of such an offence
should be made to answer before the
court that particular species of crime
would soon be made odious to the vio-
lators of the law. Let every reputable
citizen of the State mo matter to which
political party he may give allegiance
make it his duty next year to watch
every suspected person and when the
necessary evidence is obtained file
charges and have offenders arrested.
By close attention 10 that particular
evil at the particular time it is expect
cd to be revealed the number Of viola
tions can be meusnreably reduced.
Whether this course would tend to
magnify the crime or not, it could not
fail to make it repulsive Perpetrators
of crimes against the ballot do not care
! to incur prosecution. Prosecution
carries with it an unpleasant notoriety,
and shiyeiing threat of ultimate con-
finement in prison. A vigorous prose.
cution, even If it fails to secure con-
viction and punishment, answers a
good purpose. 1t tends to discourage
crime, by making it certain that crime
will not be permitted to go unnoticed,
and that it may occasionally be severely
punished.
By all means, ii we are to magnify
crime in order to make it repulsive, let
the nagnlfying be in the direction OF
unremitting and vigorous prosecution.

United States $40, 500 tons. As the

subsidies to encourage their shipping,
the vast preponderance Of British ship

The death OF Vice President Hobart,
which occurred Tuesday at his home
in Paterson, N. j., makes the sixth
vacancy in that Office caused by the
death of the incumbent. The others
were:
George Clinton of New York, Vice
President with President Madison,
elected in 1908, died in 1912.
Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts, also
Vice President with President Madi-
sson. during the latter's second term,
died in 1874
William R. King Of Alabama, elected
Vice President on the ticket with Presi-
dent Franklin Pierce, in 1852, died in
1858, without having taken his seat,
although he took the oath of office.
Henry Wilson of Massachusetts,
elected Vice-President with President
Grant, in 1872, died in 1875.
Thomas A. Hendricks of Indiana,
elected Vice President with President
Cleveland in 1884, died in 1885.
1t is interesting in this connection to
note that only three men who held the
Office of Vice President were subse-
| quently elected President. These were
John Adams, who served with and sue
ceeded George Washington: Thomas
| Jefferson, who served With and sue
ceeded John Adams. and Martin Van
Buren, Vice President with and sue
cessor TO Andrew jackson, who made
him his political heir.
-Four Vice Presidents succeeded to
the Presidency through the death of
the President while in office. They
were; John Tyler of Virginia, who sue
ceeded President William Henry Harii.
son, elected in 1870; Millard Fillmore,
who succeeded President Zachary
Taylor, elected in 1S4S; Andrew john
son, who succeeded President Lincoln,
elected in 1864, and Chester A. Arthur.
who succeeded President Garfield,
elected in 1890.
In former days the succession to the
Presidency, beyond the Vice President,
was involved in much doubt, and law
governing the succession to the furthest
point deemed necessary was enacted by
Congress at the session of 1886. IL
prov ided, in the event of the death oi
the President while in office, that the
succession should be as follows: First,
the Vice Pi esident; and in tho event
of his death OF disability, the members
of the cabinet, in order as follows: 1he
Secretary of State, the Secretary of the
Treasury, the Secretary of War, the
Attorney General, the Postmaster Gen.
eral, the Secretary of the Navy, the
Secretary of the Interior. At the time
of the passage of this law thcre was nc
Secretary of Agriculture, SO that this
cabinet official is not in the line of sue
cession. II is believed. however, that
the law as il is covers all contingencies.
that are likely ever to arise over the
matter Of Presidential succession.
Should President Mckinley die priol
to the completion of his official term
March 4th, 1901, the Presidency woulo
regularly deyolve upon Secretary o.
State Hay. 1t is hoped, however, ant
with evory reasonable ground for conf
dence, that President Mckinley will b,
spared until the end Of his official term
!, While the death of the President during
his term of Office works no calamity /,
the country, 1t is always distressing
event that all the people of the countr,
sincerely pray to be spared from ex
periencing.

trooper Tales, are short stories of

Having been soldier in the army,
Mr.. Comfort writes with authority.
He tells of what he saw. and much Of
what he was, and there is large merit
in the telling The soldier pictures
that he presents seem straight and
true to nature; the stories that he tells
are interesting at all times, and occa-
sionally pathetic OF thrilling.

Under our benefoent'' system of

facture of printing paper is making
decided increase in the prices charged
for paper. The duty on wood pulp and
paper prevents competition, and the
Trust puts up the Price. \ recent ad.
vance in the cost Of the kind of paper
on which Every Evening is printed is
from 9 cents to 214 cents per pound,
equal to 1919 per cent, and further
increase to cents FER pound by the
first of the year is intimated. Now,
the cheapening of all the processes that
go TO produce the daily newspaper has
been of enormous beuefit to the people
Of this country, as it placed the very
best newspapers within their reach.
But with such radical advarces in the
cost of white paper, many newspapers

TO lower their standards of excellence,
or inci ease the charge for the printed
papers to the public. Either of these
would be inadyisable. Tho most salts

1t has been discovered in st. Paul,
Mimi, as it was long since in Will
mington and other cities, that electric
ground connections, made by attaching
wires to water pipes, not only ruin the
pines by electrolysis. but seriously in
telfere with the operation of the water
meters. In one case in st. Paul, a
meter through which large quantity
of water was being discharged failed TO
register. This was an extreme case and
easily detected, but what the effect
has been upon the indicators in cases
where the current is not so strong the
officers of the Water Board have no
means to determine. To protect them
selves, however, they have ordered the
removal of all electric wires from the
water Pipes. IT is measure of safety,
too, for the employees of the board,
many of whom have been severely
shocked while at work upor the pipes
and meters.
