CLARA BARToN's HEALTH.
He- ArduCus Labors in CuLa Have
Broken Her Down.

1t is feared th2. the work of Clara
Barton, as president of the Red Cross,
IS almost at an end. This has been
known among har friends and rela-
tives ut Worcester, where she was born
and reared, for some time, although
they have until now preserved the ut
most secrecy relative to Inc letters
they had received from her while she
was in Cuba.
Letters received On Friday from
Mss Barton by her nephew, John IL
Stafford of Oxford, a small village
about six miles from Worcester. stated
that she had returned from Cuba SO
Utterly broken down in health as to be
absolutely untitled for any more ac-
tive work at present. She had Deen
not only engaged in arducUs labor dur
ing her stay IN China, but had been
planning an elabCrate way for educa-
tional work among the children OF
that Island, and had cherished ambi-
ticus hopes in that direction She in
timc..es that her disappointment in
that direction is far greater than any
Physical suffering that might come to
her
Her sister, Mrs. J. H. Stafford, who
tus been visiting her in New York
since her return, writes thEI, Miss Bar
ton has grown Old in appearance to an
alarming degree since she last met her,
n little over year ago. MISS Barton
herself acknowledges that her work in
Cuba during the hot SEASON has been
more trying and difficult chan any that
she has ever before engaged in.
II the truth were known she is COM
pletCly broken down and will go to her
home in Washington under the most
careful treatment. Later, unless her
physician interferes, she will probably
return - her old home to recuperate.

KIPLING AS AN ACTOR.
The Authors First and Last Appear
ance on the Stage


From a bundle CT long-sealed up
papers that have Travelled over great
part of the world a little playful

the cast which has become extraordi-
naIily fanioue-that CT Rudyard Kip
ling, author, journalist and, as will
be seen upon a. least one occasion, an
amateur player.
Twice every year, at the Christmas
and midsummer breaking up of the
United Service college, at what in the
United States would be termed the
commencement exercises, but which at
Westward Ho was called the pastimes,
the masters and students produced, in
the intervals of speechmaking and the
distribution of prizes, one or two plays,
for the entertainment of the personal
friends of the boys, and the residents
OF the neighbcrhood invited to be pres
ent.
Some days beforehand, at the fur
ther end of the gymnasium, a stage
was erected where rehearsais were
conducted under the direction of one
of the masters chosen as the stage

some of the principal parts according

party principles plays no part in the
discussion, at least not The leading
part The main thought is how the
democrNtic party can set about to make
a semblance of winning. Even Bryan
is weakening on the idea of making
the campaign en- the free silver issue
He has at last learned 20 admit that
conditions are eminenty satisfactory
TO the country SO fur as the money
question is to be taken and he is will
ing to sacrifice a little if he can only
get she nomination of a united party.
In 1896 he cooked up coalition be-
tween the pCpulists and the democrats
and hoped TO win in that way, but next
year the probabilities of the populfsts
again sinking their iden.ity to advance
Bryan's ambition are slight The pop
ulists are not quite so raIbid as they
were and the farming sections in the
west are in too healthy a condition to
monkey with conditions at their own
expense.
Mr.. William F. Harrity OF Philadel-
phia is the last democrat of promi
nence to relieve his mind on the sub
ject Of next years issues, and it is in
terssting to learn that at least one in
teITgent democrat is willing to con-
cede facts as they are. He says: pres
ent conditions are quite unlike those
which prevailed in 1896 The condi-
tons are better, so far as business Is
concerned; labor has less to complain
of than it had in the last presidential
campaign; the farmers are more pros
porous than they were then, and the
virtual adoption of the gold standard
in India has shattered some of the ar
guments made in behalf Of free silver"
In this way Mr. Harr,ty gently sets
aside all the stock campaign slogans
Of his party. Labor is doing better
than it was in 1896, when it was suf-
fering from the effects of a democratic
panic The farmers are prosperous
because of good crops at home and
poor crops IN other parts of the world.
India, to which the free silver legions
pointed with pride, has gone upon the
gold basis That leaves The populists
nothing to stand on, while the Bryan
appeal to the discomfort of the work
ing people cannot be worked next year.
The working people know better-they
know that they are getting good wages
and that nearly every man who really
wants to work has been able to secure
it for two years or more Nothing is
said OF the tariff, as that question is
settled by the increase in our exports
in the face of the democratic prophecy
that the Dinglsy act would ruin our
foreign business.
Thus there remain nothing but
"anti-imperialsm" and ANTITRUST"
for the democrats 30 take up next year.
Mr.. Harrity, so far as we have seen,
does not deal with those two questions
probably because he. realizes that they
are nothing but chaff imperialism
so-called is but name and does not
apply to the preserIs foreign question.
AS to trusts there are just about as
many campaign-cont.ibu ting demo-
Gratis involved as there are republic
cans. And so it stands today, and so
it will stand next year

world. The struggles of her enthusiasts
TIC and generous people against penal
laws, statutes of contiscation, oppres-
sive tyranny and bigoted attainder have
been continued combat to the death,
from which every temporary defeat has
left Ireland unconquered, and every
breathing space has given time for the
new generation to take up the battles
of the old. This unconquerable obsti-
macy, this heightened remembrance Of
departed liberty, this faculty of preserv-
Ing and nourishing, through ages of
physical misery and suffering, the
thought of that which is no more, of
never despAiring of constantly van
quished cause, for which many genera
lions have successfully, and in vain,
persisted in the field and by the eXecu-
toner, is perhaps the most extraordi-
nary and the greatest example that a
people has ever given"
Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to
God" With realization Of the truth
Of this maxim, the end of the last cen
fury witnessed a general revival of the
spirit of freedom throughout the civil
lied world. Here in our own beloved
land, brushing aside every offer of any
thing short of actual independence, the
battle had been fought, the sacrifices
made, the victories won, that gave the
rights of man a new significance. De-
spite veteran soldfery, hired mercena-
ries and savage allies, race of hardy
colonists, largely Of Irish extraction,
had fought their way across the ram
parts of English tyranny to the heights
of independence. The first shot at Lex
ington, that echoed around the world,
was heard across the Atlantic with spe-
cial interest. 1t was heard in England,
where the Omitted Britons" We're organ
lied to overthrow tyranny which had
become as calling at home as it was
abroad, and to erect on Its fragments
the English republic. 1T crossed the
channel and was heard in France and
clearing the air led the French people,
after ages of oppression and extortion,
to bury in the ruins OF the Bastille the
doctrine of the divine right of kings.
Nerved by its lesson, they taught the
world that the sceptre and sword Of
monarchy were but wisps Of straw in
conflict with the cudgel of the common
people; that human life and human
rights were more than palace or throne;
and that arms, the last resort of kings,
were equally effective as the last resort
of these once subjects but now free
men.

One day We saw very large bull and

statement that the moose in his section
of the country come around at night

moose stood beside the woodpile, less
