A SUDDEN FLOOD.
People in Ohio cities Aroused in Dead
Of Night by Rising Waters uEd
Forced to Flee.

Mansfield. O., June 2l.--A storm of
unusual severity occurred here Monday
night and extended to other points in
ONO, notably Shelby on the northwest
and Loudonyille on the southeast. Here
the storm lasted from 1880 until after
midnight, and was accompanied with
active thunder and lightning and with
heavy rain and hail. number of
houses in the lower part of the city
were moved from foundations and dwell
lings were under water several
feet deep. The street ear power house
was flooded 50 that cars could not run
after nine p. m. Traffic on all railroads
was suspended until four a. IN. Wash
outs occurred on the Baltimore d Ohio
road. All factories in the lower part of
the city were flooded and are unable to
run. No one was drowned. but there
were many narrow escapes. Two hun
drcd people at the Casino were sur
rounded by the flood. Many wadcd out,
but others were compelled TO remain
all night in darkness. Total damage
done in the city is estimated al 500, ,OG0,
and may be more.
At Shelby the rise in the little stream
running through the town was so rapid
that citizens were aroused at two a. IN.
by the fire alarm and by ringing of
church bells. All cellars were flooded
and the principal streets became run
ming streams. The post office could not
be reached early in the day and bust
ness was at Il standstill. \ new bridge
was wholly submerged. The damage
to it cannot be ascertained until the wa
ter subsidies. The Baltimore d Ohio
railroad suffered from washouts.
At Loudonvilie the storm seems to
have gathered strength and there was a
decided cloudburst. Horsetail creek
soon broke over its banks with such
force that the first house it struck. that
OF Isaac Hunter. was swept from its
foundations and completely destroyed.
Hunter is missing and may be drowned.
Bridges and roadways have been broken
or destroyed, entailing a loss of $780,
BOO The damage to crops, fences. live
stock, etc, will reach perhaps 100000
more.

GoLrING AND CYCLING.

These two great sports go hand in
hand. The links are perforce situated
at some distance from town, and the
easiest and quickest way to reach them
is with the bicycle. For golf good links
are needed; for cycling Good Roads.
Golf links can be made anywhere by
digging holes, and making artificial
barriers. On Long Island Nature has
been particularly kind. It's North
Shore is all rolling country, in many
places glacial action has formed hills
and hollows of perfect delight to the
followers of this sport. The level and
beautiful ocean shore is broken in
many places by rolling hills covered
with grass and shrubs which go to
make up links so close to the Scottish
ideals that all who have played in the
old country are struck at once by their
wonderful fitness for the sport, and
added to this the fact that the cool
South breeze comes up every day
throughout the Summer from across
the ocean and brings with it bracing
and eXhilaration that nothing else can
give. Nowhere but on Long Island
do these conditions exist. 1t is unique
n this as it is in its varied scenery and
its unsurpassed attractions in every
line. The roads are good and many
beautiful side paths and cycle path,
wind through the woods. The tour
around the Island which can be mad.
in three days is most enjoyable, and
week taken to the trip can be filled very
full of pleasure. The camera should
not be left at home, as the scenery is
constantly changing, and its beauties
are well worth preserving for future
enjoyment.

A RARE INSTANCE.
One Democratic Organ That supports
the President In HIS Phil
iDpine Policy.

There are some democratic ncwspa-
pers which not only have no synpa-
thy with the attempts of their anti-cX-
pansionist colleagues to make political
capital out of censure of the admins
tration on account of its policy in the
Philippines, but which emphatically
protest against and denounce such Il
course. Among such the New York
Times is conspicuous. recognizes the
fact that to attempt to make anti-eX-
pansion a campaign issue is Il colossal
blunder, and is frank enough to say so
without beating about the bush. 1t
points out that the presidents task is
not an easy one, but eXerts itself pa
triotically to hold up his hands in a try
ing time, and calls upon him to be not
disheartencd by the censurc that has
been hcaped upon him by unscrupulous
representatives cf its party.
In leading editorial in the Times the
president is commended for the stand
which he has taken, for the tirmness
which he has displayed, for the un
swerving course toward the right which
he has held, and he is warned that ''he
should not be dishcartened by these
symptoms of dissatisfaction, he should
not be misled by an inevitable diversity
of opinion"
Such a warning is not necessary, and
therefore has no particular value, eX-
cept as gratifying evidence OF good
will on the part of a political opponent.
1t is a pleasing proof that there are
yet democrats who take pride in max
ing it known to all who read that they
are unwilling to subordinate the vel
fare Of the nation to seeming advan-
tage to their party. And the Times
goes even further. 1t administers a
direct rcbuke to its party and declares
that it has weakened itself by opposing
the administration conduct of the war
and denouncing its acceptance of th"
responsibilities that came to it as the
result of that war. 1t says:
THE queruous voice and unreasonable
attitude of anti-impcrialism 90 not reflect
the temper Of the American people. Tho
democratic party, discredited and despcr-
ate. cropping wildly for an issue, is weaker
now than ii was three years ago. WhcnMr
Mckinley defeated its candidate. The
president has the great mass of t4le people
at his back. lie has with him the strong
leading men of the country lie is armed
for advance"
1t is extremely unlikely that this. or
anything of like nature that the Times
or any other fair and just democratic
paper may say. will turn the dominant
faction of the democracy from its sui
cidal course; but. having made plain

What we get out of life is just about the

Don't judge a man by the scowl on his
face; perhaps 1t wasn't there before he

When a frivolous young lady tells you
how awfu,y interested she is in the spe-

take her word for it, and then change the
subject.
1t isn't always fair to judge a man by the
hat he wears; perhaps it isn't so much a
matter OF taste as of salary.
Don't think that because Mrs Continual
Performance is busy she is necessarily do

to get over the greatest distance with the
fewest strokes.
1t is a mistake to imagine that because
people listen to you they are interested in
hearing you talk about yourself; poverty
isn't the only recipient of charity.

PRICES AND PROSPERITY.
The Wages of workingmcn Ad-
vapced Under the Republic
an Admins istrat,oB.

Current dispatches report something
akin to a famine in the iron market,
with a corresponding advance in the
price, and of all manufactured articles
in which it is factor. AS this includes
locomotives, rolling stock, and, conse-
quently, transportation, together with
all agricultural implements, all ma
chinery, tools and building materials
in fact, affecting everything directly
or indirectly, it probably means a cor
responding advance in the prices of all
commodities. This accords with cs-
tablished principles of political econo-
my. The relationship between pros
perity and wages, consumption and
prices, is so close that its operation
can always be traced from one to the
other and predicted with approximate
certainty. Prosperity brings higher
wages, higher wages bring greater
consumption, increasing the number
and capacity of purchasers, and this in
turn causes higher prices. Thus an
era of prosperity is generally an era o-
comparatively high prices as well as
of good wages. There is no hardship
to the people in this. Better high prices
with good wages than low prices and
no wages at all. High wages, high
prices and good money with high pur-
chasing power are signs of high pros
perity, such as the American people
are now enjoying.
The iron trade is traditional barom-
oF al s.14 81
of the so-called precious metals fur
nishes as sure Il criterion for judging
of national prosperity as does the COM
moncst and cheapest of all metals. The
consumption of iron, and, consequent
ly, its price, are an unfailin~ indica-
tion of the times. The fact that, not
withstanding the great increase in the
Productive capacity OF American mills
during the last few years and the steady
growth of their output, there is now an
actual scarcity of iron with a big ad-
vance in price, indicates n great in
crease in consumption. This is due
partly to the increasing prosperity OF
our own people and partly to the
growth of our exports of iron manu-
features. With the American people
using more iron than ever before and
with foreign customers ordering Amer
lean locomotives, steel rails, iron
bridges, agricultural implements,
steam and electric engines and tools
and equipments of all kinds, it is not
surprising there is boom in the price
of iron. Steel and rolling mills, blast
furnaces and iron fouudrics are
swamped with ORDERS says dispatch.
Meanwhile the voluntary advancement
of wages continues. Within the last
four months the wages of $4,000 en-
ployes in the iron industry have been
advanced in the city of Chicago alone,
and throughout the country OF several
times that number. Thus we have Il
new demonstration of the fact that
prosperity, high wages and high prices
go hand in hand.-Indianapol Jour

Our Militant Strength.

For defensive purposes, the lesson of
American martial ardor and skill thus
taught to Europe within the year that
is past is of incalculable value, and for
long years to come, says the Phila-
delphia Ledger, it must temper the ag-
gressiveness of nations that might
otherwise have sought to check the
progress of republic whose uneXam-
pied prosperity is a standing menace
to monarchical institutions. This sense
of reserved power to be found behind
the towers along the steep" in the in
tellgence, the material resources, the
skill in improvising, if need be, the inn
plements of war, steadies the nation
when it is called upon to take firm
stand for good causes. 1t should sum-
mon its energies for no other purpose.
The intelligence which makes nations
strong for war should restrain them
from going to war for wars sake. Not
withstanding the republic has joined
the ranks of the modern militant powers
in such a dramatic way and in such
n short time, we may confidently trust
that the country will remain a slumher-
ing giant a.nid the unworthy conflicts
into which some Of the militant nations
have been so prone to enter.

REFUSE TO ACCEPT.
Cleveland Strikers Reject Terms
Which Had Been Agreed to by
Their Committee.

Cleveland, o., June 23.-The hope of
a settlement of the street railway
strike was shattered Thursday night
when the strikers, at meeting, re-
jected, by a unanimous vote, the prop
osition submitted by the company to
the special committee of the city coun-
Gil, and to which the strikers commit
tee agreed in the afternoon. The prop
osition of the company states that it is
ready and willing to take back into it's
employment, as it has ever been, such
of its employees as it's business de-
mands, aggregating at the present
time so per cent. of such employees, and
as vacancies occur will give preference
to such former employees, excepting al
ways those that have committed I'M
lawful acts against the company, its
property or employees during the pres
ent strike. 1t was generally believed
after the conference of the representa-
tives of the company and the commit
tee of the strikers was concluded, that
the end of the strike would come this
morning, and the action of the strik-
ers came as surprise. After rejecting
the proposition of the company, the
strikers began the work of drawing up
a proposition of their own which will
be submitted to the council committee
