philanthropic old lady, who lives
on q small street below Morris, for
several years past has fed daily large
number of sparrows in the front entry
"f her house. a great many of the little
birds hover about the house Of their
friend. and perch fearlessly on the steps

""ichhors, strange to say, have the ut
most respect for the birds and take
great cure never to interfere with them.
The old lady pays for the regular re-
m0val OF her ashes and garbage. When
ever the ash man comes the sparrows
ARG generally perchcd about on the
ledge Of the ash barrel, and the man
will not go near them until the old
lady comes TO the door and calls them
al inside. Recently IN intruder in the
shape OF II white owl came to the door,
and there was great excitement among
the children OF the eneighborhood. They
would not touch it because they
thought 1t was n new pet, but when the
old lady's attention was called to the
owl, she gave the children ice cream
money to capture It and take it away
from the vicinity, 80 that her sparrows
would not be disturbed.

VANDALS WRECK A CHURCH,
Baptist Church of Wichita Desecrated
by Sacri1egIous Scamps.

Baptist Church of Wichita Desecrated
by Sacri1egIous Scamps.
WICHITA, Kan, Feb 2O.-A dastardly
act of vandalism was discovered at the
Emporia Avenue Baptist church last
evening by the pastor. Upon opening
for services it was found that the
church furniture and instruments had
been frightfully mutiIated by an AK in
the hands of some unknown persons.
The reeds and keys of the fine organ
were chopped and torn out of place
The beautiful center chandelier was
shattered to pieces and the works and
dial torn out of the large handsome
clock, besides the complete demolish-
ment of the electric motor.
Further investigation showed that
the seats and carpets had been hacked
and cut to pieces and, not satisfied
with their dastardly work. the van
dals entered the Baptistry and turned
on the water, flooding the entire base
ment, and then to complete their work
burned every book in the extensive
library, leaving the church interior a
total wreck. No cause can be given
for the dastardy. act.

ITCHING.

Persistent itching is symptom Of
many diseases of the skin, but it may
also be sign of disorder of some of the
internal organs, more particularly OF
the liver or kidneys. Sometimes, how
ever, it occurs in persons who appear
to be otherwise in perfect health. and
who have no visible affection of the
skin
Temporary itching is often caused by
the eating of certain articles of food,
especially shell-fsh; even fruits, such
as strawberries, are eaten by some I'M
fortunate individuals only at the ex-
pense of most annoying itching of the
entire body for an hour or two.
That form of itching for which no
cause can be found. either on the sur
face of the body or within it, is re-
garded by most physicians as a nervous
malady, and has been dignified by the
special name 'pruritus, which is sim
ply the Latin name for itching. Per-
sons OF advanced life sometimes suffer
severely from a pruritus which is ex-
ceedingly difficult or impossible to re-
lieve, for the reason that it is due to
changes in the skin consequent upon
old age.
A very common form OF pruritus is
caused by cold acting upon the skin,
and is called for this reason "winteg
Itch 1t is felt chiefly on the insides
of the legs and thighs, although it may
occur on the upper extremities, or even
over the entire body. It gives no trou
BILE in summer, or even in warm days
in winter, but in frosty, snappy wealth
er it is intense. Coarse underclothing
may aggravate it, but 1t occurs even
when the finest and smoothest silk is
worn. 1t is usually worse at night
when the sufferer is undressing, but
gets better as he warns up in the bed.
The treatment of itching varies with
the cause, but some form of external
application is almost always used,
whatever may be the underlying trou-
bic. In case of general itching Ms
relief is often afforded by an al 14ne
bath made by dissolving three or four
ounces of borax, or five or six ounces OF
bicarbonate of soda in thirty gallons Of
water.

writes:
The Pe-ru-na Drug Mtg Co., Column
bus, Ohio.
Gentlemen-For years 1 have been
afflicted with chronic catarrh, which
has gone through my whole system,
and no one knows the torture and
misery 1 have passed through. My
doctor has prescribed various RENE
dies, and have never found any relief
until I was persuaded by friend to
use DIR. Hartman's Pe-ru-na. After the
use OF one bottle 1 feel like a new

suffering with catarrh I take pleasure
IN recommending your great medicine.
Very respectfully.
Thomas C. Fletcher.
Everything that affects the welfare
of the people is a legitimate subject
of comment to the real statesman.
The statesman is not narrow man.
1t is the politician who is narrow. The
true statesman looks out on the world
as it is, and seeks, as far as is in his
power, to remedy evils and encourage
the good.
Catarrh in its various forms is rap
idly becoming a national curse. An
undoubted remedy has been discov-
cred by DR.. Hartman. This remedy
has been thoroughly tested during the
past forty years. Prominent men have
come to know Of it's virtues. and are
making public utterances on the sub
ject To save the country we must
save the people. To save the people
we must protect them from disease.
The disease that is at once the most
prevalent and stubborn Of cure is ca
tarrh.

PARIS, Feb. 20. M. Loubet was
elected president of the French re-
public, to succeed the late Felix
Faure, by the assembly of deputies
and senators Saturday afternoon.
There was only two candidates, NJ.
Loubet, Moderate Republican, and NJ
Meline. Conservative Loubet re-
ceived 4s3 votes against 27O for Meline.
Loubet is 81 years old and lawyer
by profession. He entered public life
as mayor of Montelimart. In 1876 he
became member of the chamber of
deputies. His present distinction
makes of interest the fact that he
voted for the expulsion of religious
orders from France several years ago.
He was, however, inconsistent enough
to secure the exemption of the Trap
pists in his department from this
harsh treatment. He became a mem
Der of the senate in 1855 and minister
of public works in the Triad cabinet
in 1887. The portfolio remained in
his hands only four months.
In 1882 Loubet became premier His
cabidet went to pieces in the Panama
revelations. Last month he was
elected president of the senate.
The fact that Loubet was opposed
by the antiSelnites, the bitter enemies
of Dreyfus, indicates that he is re-
garded as favorable to the revision of
the Dreyfus case.
