Illuminating blood diseases can be cured.
This is not "a theory, 10 is "a fact. Cures are
being made every day, though they are not
made in "a day The reason why 50 many
suffer without hope is because they have
been so often induced to try impossible rem
edies. The man who says that blood dis
ease can be cured by q local application or
operation is "a fraud There is but one way
the blood must bee purified. When that is
done the disease disappears. The best puri-
fer is Davld's Sasaparilla. IL does the work

Present Day Thoughts

Freedom Of thought wonder
whether any of Us really understand
what we mean by freedom ofthought.'
We boast about it aud regard il a. "A
precious heritage from the fathers who
fought for il, but 10 what extent do we
understand il? Possibly a great deal,
as far a. we ourselves are concerned.
Our ideas 90 soaring away in this
direction aud in that until we are
thrilled with rejoicing at being able to
think on great subjects and puzzle out
great plans for ourselves and the world
around Us. But when it relates to the
other man, with thoughts at variance
from our own, then where is our glory
ing in freedom? ! tell you tyranny
turks very near 10 great hearts for
they are on fire with enthusiasm and
80 concentrated in their efforts that
they cannot brook the idea Of there
being any side but their side to a ques-
ton. Yet surely one mans right TO
think carries with it the right for all
To think and TO think unhinderedly.
The way to down error Of thought is
not by denying it the right to exist,
but by treating It with sweet reason
ableness. Thought never did harm to
any land. 1t is like measles, harmless
if allowed on the surface but exceed
ingly dangerous if forced to "set in"
The man whose freedom to think as he
chooses is denied him, has within him
the seed of revolution and the last end
of the repressOr is worse than the first.
Instead Of less freedom let Us have more
of it, particularly in our great cities,
and thus many nOxiOus influence
will he made harmless because Of IFS
freedom, and because its strength is
not aroused by opposition. Martyrs to
restrained thought are dangerous storm
centres.

Tuesday was a disagreeably damp
and rainy day, bat despite the weather
and bad roads "A good size crowd was
at Cumberland county court. The at
traction, however, was not in anything

leaf tobacco i'm the warehouse, which
enterprise has recently been started
there. The quantity of tobacco there
on Tuesday was a surprise While 1t
would not have been especially notice
able at either one of Farmyille's COM
modious warehouses, yet for Cumber-
land it was well nigh a "glut." There
was no marked difference i'm the con-
duet Of the sale from what is seen in

of the auctioneer, Mr.. j. b. Phillips.
Unless, perhaps, it might be found IN
the stentorophonic voice Of the veteran
crier J. l.. Chernault, we would be
totally at sea looking for the equal Of

fire of bidders on every side Captain
Phillips seemed thoroughly equal TO

Another Bad Piece of Road.

preached bv number of Cumberland

thing is not done with the road between

Well, it does seem strange that right
i'm the corporate limits Of the town
such conditions Of the public thorough
fare should be allowed a. do exist, and
especially is it shameful that the road
way from the depot to Cumberland
bridge is so poorly kept up. This Is

Standard Of Measure. How full OF
splendid records this world would be If
all were measured by their own inner
feeling of worth and Of merit. But
alas there are, as a humorous philos-
opher has expressed it, three John
Smiths-John Smith a. he thinks he
is. John Smith as his neighb0rs think
him to be, and John Smith as he really
is. So it is not surprising that our own
selfestimate runs counter to the
opinions formed about US. There
comes the rub and many a good fellow
better even than he himself thinks
grows soured over misunderstanding
by those who cannot see the workings
of his heart. The trouble is that we
make too much Of being credited with
all we think We are worth; and like the
restless, eager child we constantly pull
up our paintings to see If they grow,
and consequently set back the crop Of
good results. We cannot make over
the world, and the wise man has to
reconcile himself to the fact that we
are sized up more generally by our
wisdom, by our mistakes rather than
by our successes. know it seems
brutally hard that a clerk after long
service should be treated a. though his
whole career had been no better than
the one careless mistake, just found
out. would make him appear to be.
But he is after all neither better nor
worse of than the best Of Us. The
only comforting thought is that our
own overestimate and the worlds un-
derestimate do not in reality affect the
permanent value Of our work so long
as we determinedly continue to do the
best we can. To be really happy in
work and to be most effective, which
surely should be the ambition Of all
rightminded men-is to stop worrying
about long-delayed pats Of approval
and to just keep on exerting ourselves
in the way that lies open before US.

Real Culture. Culture Of the head
alone Is disastrous in its effects, it
either makes a man mere scrap-bag
of odds and ends Of knowledge, or
superclious eur who looks down on
the rest Of us 81 Philistines and out
casts, or il turns man into ponder
Gus nuisance who needs must air
knowledge and awe listeners on every
possible occasion. You know all three
kinds-so do /. There is i'm my men,
DRY at this moment the picture Of an
awkward lout who by reason of college
education knows the most eXtraor-
binary details about languages, ancient
and modern, but cannot succeed in do
ing anything higher than write adj
dresses for a pittance of less than -
per week. That other sort of fellow Is
in every town, little more bookish
than his neighbors, by reason perhaps
of the short-sleeved father who spoiled
man and made a fool when he denied
himself To give the lad "A crust Of educa-
ton. Since the fatal day when the
boy was led to think Of himself as a
little superior to the plow-boys he left
behind, he has made culture an Oflense
to the nostrils of those who have an
infinitely better quality than miles Of
book acknowledgement knowledge
which goes so much further than dead
languages in the storms and stress and
trials of life. The noisy, positive, dis
putatious character who has read
much, remembered much, learned little
is also familiar to all of Us. Real
culture is of head and the heart to-
gether. SO that the learned one has
pity for those less favored, energy for
making the best of his mental outfit,
and the strain of consideration to him
that characterized old Benjamin Frank
lin, who won his way by gentle courtesy
and by diplomatic behavior towards
those who differed from him. Useless
knowledge furnishes no table, conceited
knowledge makes no friends, overbear-
ing knowledge fallOws no fields for
future cultivation. Real culture carries
man above the pettiness, the jealous
les and the disputings Of lower planes
Of thought, and lifts him up to where
the view is broad and where he can
see that there are two sides to things.

TEN YEARS FOR HOLMES.
He Files Notice Of Appeal to the
Supreme Court.

-
Judge Johnson yesterday sentenced
|J. w. Holmes, one of the proprietors
Of the Real Thing saloon, to ten
years imprisonment at San Quentin,
the limit of the law, for the robbery of
L. S. Posten-
In sentencing Holmes the court said
that he had no doubt of his guilt, and
that the jury had convicted him after
full and fair trial. He considered it
an aggravated case, and would sentence
him for ten years.
Hiram Johnson and Peter Shields ap-
peared for Holmes and filed a motion
for a new trial. on the ground that ad-
ditional evidence had been discovered,
tending to prove his innocence. The
court granted writ of probable cause
and Holmes will be held by the Sheriff
pending the result of the appeal. He
had previously denied a motion for a
new trial and arrest of Judgment.
1t was stated yesterday that w. ].
Phillips was the man who was to give
the new evidence claimed, but Phillips
himself was behind the bars yesterday,
being charged with robbery of James
Kelly. 1t was said that he would
swear that he saw two women rob
Posten, but he told Chief of Police
Dwyer and others that he would swear
to no such thing, as he knew nothing
about the matter.
The proprietors of the ''Real Thing
saloon (Holmes and Mosher) cannot ex-
pect much satisfaction in the way of
mitigating evidence from any state
ments of Phillips, who is relied upon as
a new witness
1t is known that Phillips got here
from Benicia after the robbery, and
that he was not in the Real Thing
saloon at all the night of the crime.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAvORERSs
Greeting Of the Detroit '99 Press
Committee to Them.

The Press Committee for the eigh-
teenth international convention of
Christian Endeavor to be held in De-
troit July 9TH to 10th has begun work
by Issuing letter setting forth the at
fractions of Detroit in general, and of
the coming convention in particular.
Detroit expects to entertain at least
$4,000 visitors on this OCCASION.
This letter says: Never was there
brighter promise of great things for the
Endeavor hosts, and never has city
FELT gladder thrill over certainty of
blessings to come. The program prom
ises a five-d'ay feast that will educate,
ed1fy and enthuse the thousands that
will partake"
The convention will be characterized
by two new features, viz: The employ
ment of a higher grade of music than
formerly, and lectures upon sociological
questions and other present day prob
lens. The latter feature is designed
however, to supplement and not to sup
plant the spiritual element which mas
always been the great characteristic Of
Christian Endeavor Conventions.
The attractions of Detroit as a con-
vention city are set forth with partic-
Vial IC1ClCllCt " tUc CITY > WCll-hllOWn Ii
outing facilities on land and water. The
close proximity of Belle Isle, Detroit's
great natural park. is cited in this con-
nection.
In conclusion the letter says: "Crim-
son and white are the colors in which
Detroit will array herself for the great
convention. The houses of the city will
be opened wide and cordiality will find
expression in every face and voice and
manner. You will have a One-fare
railroad rate; you can come by rail
from everywhere and by water from al
most anywhere; your entertainment will
be at a reasonable cost, and you can
visit the famous Northern Michigan re-
sorts after the convention You need
the physical invigoration of the trip to
Detroit, and the mental and spiritual in
spiration that comes from contact with
the wholesome life of the EndeaVor
host But most of all we want you"

BACTERIOGICAL TESTS.
What the Jewell Filter Is Said to
Do for River Water.

AT a recent meeting of the Board of
Trustees DR.. A NJ. Henderson and Dr.
Darcy Powers were appointed to make
daily psychological tests of the river
water before and after being run
through the Jewell filter.
Following is their first report:
Sacramento, Cal, March 16, 1899.
Number of colonies found in culture,
to which one cubic centimeter of
unfiltered river water was added,
after seventy-two hours growth . i 800
to which one cubic centimeter of
filtered river water was added, after
seventy-two hours growth. ......... 80
Number of bacilli excluded. ............111 10
Percentage of baciIli excluded. ...... 95
As most people are not familiar with
the metric system, a comparison with a
well-known quantity like the inch
would give a more definite idea to them
AS a centimeter is 1887 of an inch, or
little less than four-tenths, it would
follow that to make a cubic inch of
water it would require nearly 61a cubic
centimeters. If, therefore, there are
left 80 colonies of bacteria in cubic
centimeter, in a cubic inch of filtered
water there would be nearly 61a times
that much, or about $50 colonies
