Not n Competent Opinion.

TITS a case of whitewash from begin

fuzzy whislkers and shoes which had large
round holes cut in their sides, accord
ing to the Washington Star.
What's a case of whltewash?" asked
his wife, who was wiping her hands on an
apron as she stood in the door.
The whole business" he answered
turning to his paper. But of course I
wouldn't expect you to know anything
about it,"
Anyhow" she remarked, decidedly. "I
don't think It's case of whitewash."
''Ch, you don't"

maybe you've read some facts on the
situation that haven't been brought to my
attention"
Not a word
And, of course, being your husband, I
shouldn't expect you to to take my say so
for 1t. You couldn't think of relying on
my opinion in the matter"
well, ordinarily, I don't know but what
lis my duty to take what you say about
things as being ell that need be said. I
suppose it's my business to take care that
the house is run right and look after all
the marketing and see that we have
enough saved up to meet our debts while
you sit by and think up the opinions for

But this case is an exception-is IT.?

THE VACATION SEASON.

The vacation season, which Is at hand
takes city and town people to the noun
tains, the seashore and the country for a
brief period of rest and recreation. The
respite from daily labor is INDUCED in for
the good of the health. But how many
persons suffer their first and often only ILL
ness during the year in the vacation sea-
son? How many go away for rest, and
return home more tired and broken-up
than when they left? The number of such
persons is undoubtedly large. Instead of
benehting from their outings, they suffer
from them. Instead of resting, they phys
ically overtax themselves, often with Sc
rous results.
The average city person who goes away
for vacation In the summer leads at
home a somewhat sedentary life. Com
paratively little exercise is TAKEN and a
regular routine is gone through with day
after day. But on the vacation the rou-
tine is broken. The temptation to indulge
in excessive exercise without prepare ton
for it is very strong, and many yield TO IT,
AS a consequence, in numerous instances
as the Medical News points out, complica-
tons that are serious are brought on. The
kidneys may be started along dangerous
path by the strain of sudden and violent
exercise, or the heart may not be strong
enough to perform the extra work placed
upon it, Possibly every person who has
had much experience in holidays will re-
call having suffered in greater or less de-
gree from the upsetting of the normal bal
ance of the system by excess of exercise.
and many Will be able to recall instances
in which serious illness, or even death IT,
self, has followed activity and fatigue to
which the body was unaccustomed DR..
Williams. an eminent practitioner of Bos-
ton, says that the safest plan for those
who are contemplating a vacation where
there may be rowing. hunting riding or
considerable walking is for them 90 go in
to training for the occasion, Just as If n
were an athletic contest in which tbev
hoped to take prize, beginning gradually
and working up to approximately the
amount of exercise expected TO be accom-.
pnshed.
DR.. Williams rule is no doubt n safe
one, but 1t will not be followed TO any
great extent. The people haven't the TINA
or else they haven't the molina
ton to follow 1t. There is. how
ever another rule which is very

fclal results from their summer trims

WAS THE MINISTER DUPEDf

A very interesting question was raised
when the general assembly of the Con-
gregational ministers of Connecticut prac-
Greenwich, Conn. a few days ago, for
marrying Mr.. Perry Belmont to Mrs.
Sloane. It will be recalled by newspaper
readers that Mr.. Belmont and Mrs Sloane
were married on the day that Mrs. Sloane
was divorced on the petition of her hus-
band. The question raised was this: Was
the minister who performed the marriage
ceremony duped?
In his own defense DR.. Barrow said that
he was misled by the Belmont-sloane
crowd, but he didn't say, so far as VIC
have seen, in what respect he was mis-
led His plea seems to have been accept
ed. however, by the assembled ministers.
But, as a matter of fact, was he mis-
led? The lawyers who managed the mat
ter for Mr.. Belmont say that he was not
in any respect-that they dealt fairly and
openly with him. In fact. it is difficult
to see how he could have been misled,
unless they told him that Mr.. Sloane had
been shown to be the offending party, and
that the divorce had been granted to Mrs.
Sloane. But he doesn't say that they told
him anything of the sort.
What the lawyers say is this: DR.. Bar
row agreed the day before the divorce
was granted, to perform the ceremony.
He was to have a fee of $3.50. On the day
set for the ceremony he told one of the
attorneys for the contracting parties that
he was so troubled about the matter
about the notorIety It would bring him
that he had about decided not to tie the
marriage knot. The lawyer, as a persuad-
er, offered to double the fee-to make 1t
$780, 1t appears that that argument was
effective and DR.. Barrow performed his
part of the contract. But DR.. Barrow S
conscience got to work again and bother
ed him so that he returned the money to
Mr.. Belmont.
But in all of this 1t doesn't appear
wherein DR.. Barrow was misled. AS far
as the published reports go he wasn't
the dupe of anybody. Ought not the
Congregational ministers of Connecticut
ask DR.. Barrow for an explanation of his
statement that he wouldn't have per-
formed the ceremony II he hadn't been
misIeda Doesn't it really seem as If il
were the $500 fee that misled him?

A NEW sPooK PRIEsTEss.

From time immemorlal man has been
trying to lift the veil which hides the fu-
ture from the present. Witches, clair
the power of divination have fourished for
centuries under one professional title or
another, and have found many followers.
From the days of the Witch of Endor up
to date, history and literature have been
literally spiced with the doings of sooth-
savers and second-sight specialists. From
time to time there appears in some quar-
ter of the world some person, usually a
woman, whose reach of vision into the
unknown realms of futurity, or whose IA
miliarity with the spirits of the departed,
is declared to be marvellous; and that per-
son becomes for the time quite the rage.
The recent case Of Mile. Couedon, the
Paris seeress of a year or two ago, is a
case in point. 1t will be remembered that
she had, or claimed to have, communica-
lions with the Angel Gabriel, Napoleon
Bonaparte. Jeanne dare and many other
dwellers in the spirit land Zola and other
French celebrities, including, It has been
asserted, several prominent officials.
visited the young woman. and many OF
them were convinced of the truth and sim
certify of her representations. Now, how
ever. the Paris seeress has passed from
the public mind.
But there has arisen a successor to her,
in the United States. The new spook
prlestess is Mrs. Piper, a resident of
Arlington flights, near Boston. She has
been called human telephone between
the living and the spirits of the dead.
Her 'sittings"-she is a professional
trance medium"-are said to have been
attended with most wonderful results and
she has attracted to her train of believers
some of the most learned and heretofore
cold-blooded of scientific men, among
them being Prof. James H Hys-
lop. of the chair of psychology, ethics and
logic in Columbia University New York.
and DR.. Richard Hodgson, of Cambridge
University, England These eminent gen
tlemen have been present at a number
of the "sittings." For years they had
been students OF so-called occult phenom-
ena, and each had exposed various fraud
ulent manifestations of spiritualism, mind
reading. slate-writng. cabinet tricks, etc.
1t was Prof Hyslop who. In 1894, climbed
upon the stage OF Roster & Balls. in
New York city, and gave what he called
an exposure of the fraudulent pretenses
of Annie Abbott. the Georgia magnetic
girl These scientific men, it is said
went to see Mrs. Piper as skeptics. ex-
pecting to be able to trap and expose her.
But she, instead, trapped them. From
skeptics they have become firm believers.
Together they have compiled book giving
a description of the woman's powers This
book is to be published year hence. I'm
til that time it cannot be known Just what
| conclusive proofs have been given Prof
Hyslop and DR.. Hodgson, causing them 10
become converts; but the former named
gentleman, who seems to have become an
enthusiast, says the publicati ton win cause
a profound sensation.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New Orleans Picayune Dem) says:
THE sooner that President Mckinley calls
into being the provisional army author
lied by Congress the better. The task be-
fore us is not pleasant nor a profitable
one; but the national honor demands that
it be faced. The people are extremely dis
gusted at the way the war is dragging
along, and they demand that an end be
made as speedily as possible. The admin
istrations hesitation, backing and filing
are becoming ridiculous, and will soon
bring the country into contempt abroad.
If the Mckinley administration is not
better able to rise to the demands of a
true imperialist policy than 1t now appears
to be, it made a serious mistake in ever
essaying the task If British ministry
were guilty of the vacillation and weak
ness that have characterized our govern
ment Of late. 1t would not last twenty
four hours"
The Charleston News and Courier Oem.)
says: 'In the death of Mr.. H. B. Plant
the South has lost one of its best friends
His whole life was devoted to the devel-
opment of the South, and there has been
no more powerful factor In the upbuilding
and uplifting of this part of the country
than the great system of railways which
was organized by him. We do not know
what will be done with the valuable prop
critics which he brought together, but he
was a very wise man, and 1t is almost
certain that he made provision for the
prosecution of his work when he should
rest from his labors. Mr.. Plants history
reads almost like romance. He was a
great man."
The Nashville American (Dem.) says:
Republican papers are now claiming that
Havemeyer Is a Democrat. free trade
Democrat, and that his telling criticism
OF trusts and trust methods are therefore,
OF little moment We do not know Have
meyers political creed. He may be like
Jay Gould testified he was-'Democrat
when the legislature was Democratic; Re
publican when it was Republican. What
ever Havemeyers political leanings may
be, he has evidently hit the trusts and the
advocates of trusts the hardest ticks they
have received in a long time.
The Philadelphia Ledger Qnd.) says:
when all is said and done, the American
people remember that the fleet under
Schleys command achieved a glorious vic
tory at Santiago, and they do not care
a plcayune whether the Brooklyn turned
to port or starboard at the point in con-
troversy. Seeing that the maneuver,
whatever 1t was, led TO complete success,
they are willing to believe that it was the
right one"

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ron OTIS.

II looks now as If the President had fin
ally determined upon a more vigorous
prosecution of the Philippine war. It is
stated that he has decided 10 cali for vol
unteers as soon as he returns from his
New England trip. The reason he has not
done so before probably s. that he was
afraid Of the criticisms of the members Of
his own party who have been persistent
and even bitter critics Of his Philippine
policy. The President can't stand adverse
criticism. He likes 10 be praised, to be
patted on the back and told that he is do
ing The right thing. He has found out, how
ever, that IL he doesn't prosecute the war
in the Philippines more vigorously. and
bring II to a successful conclusion quickly,
he viii be not only severely condemned.
but viii lose a great deal of the popularity
which he gained from the successful war
with Spain.
There is no doubt that the great ma
1orlty of the people want the war prescott
ed with vigor. But 1t doesn't follow on that
account that they approve the Presidents
Philippine policy. They are concerned now
in having the Philippine trouble settled as
quickly as possible with honor TO the 'coun-
try. When that is accomplished they will
turn their attention to the President, and
VIII tell him what they think of him for
paying $4,000 900 for a lot of islands and
war which threatens to cost us several
hundred million dollars more.
When the President found he had re-
bellious population TO deal with in the
= 4,
the situation with vigor that would have
brought submission to our authority
quickly. Instead of doing that however,
he became timid under the criticisms of
men of his own party like Hoar, Atkinson
and Boutwells-f1e Undertook to coax Agui-
naldo and other Filipino leaders to accept
our terms of peace. He is beginning to I'M
derstand that he made a great mistake.
Prompt and vigorous action would have
brought him success probably Timidity
has increased his difficulties.
If he thought he could carry on a war or
adopt an important policy without any OPP
position and any hostile criticism
from those to whom he looked
for support he hasn't read history
with profit. AS a matter of fact he seldom
takes a stand upon any great public ques-
ton unth he thinks he has discovered what
public sentiment in respect to 1t is. He
didn't take a stand in favor of the war for
the freedom of Cuba until both political
parties declared in favor Of 1t. He didn't
demand the Philippines until he had taken
a trip through the country and thought he
discovered the people wanted the islands
He was greatly surprised and worried
therefore when he was bitterly attacked
by members of his own political party for
his course in respect to the Philippines.
What the people are now concerned
about Is the settlement of the Philippine
trouble quickly and creditably to the ma
ton. They understand that the war has
got to be fought 10 a finish, and they are
ready to stand the cost in men and money,
but they reserve the right to deal with
the President and his party, and the whole
Philippine matter as they think best when
the war is concluded and peace Is restored
