Remember the Maine. +"

General Fitzhugh Lee is a prominent
and patriotic figure in Lincoln j. Car
ter's stirring and really beautiful play
Remember the Maine" Captain Slgs-
bee is another of the characteristics
Admiral Dewey-uhese characters are
not merely thrown in TO attract, but in
enls magnificent production by Mr..
Carter, act and speak just as they did
during she real struggle. They are the
sensible, coherent result of necessity
in making a play of merit and fact and
not of the cheap trashy sort.
Remember the Maine" is a stirring
play of modern times The idea of
writing such a play was suggested by
Mr.. Carter Immediately after the
Maine was destroyed, and In conse-
quenoe the result is a dramatized dairy
of actual events, with of course play
makers license in small detail allowed.
Mr.. Carter spent some hundreds of
dollars gaining facts for this play.
Remember the Maine" comes to the
Auditorium Saturday night, Sept. 30.

In former times liniments and plast

cause people mistook effects for diseas-
es, and attacked pain where they
found IL. Temporary relief convinced
them they were right, and so they laid
return of the pain TO return of the
complaint when in fact the disease was
there all the time. Baekache is not an
aching OF the back, but an aching of
the kidneys, and remedies must reach
the kidneys and be perfect in their
work at that before permanent relief
is secured. Doans Kidney Pills are
perfect in their work and permanent in
their cure. A backache gives way at
once because the kidneys resume their
normal functions and there is nothing
TO ache. There is nothing so hard 10
combat as the evidence of our sen es,
and yet all who believe us ON the sub
ject of backache are glad they did be-
cause of the cure.

The Democratic Columbus Times on
Jan. IS, 1888 said edtorially: THE
Democratic party in the state of Ohio
needs, more than all else, unity of
thought and action. May we respect
fully inquire whether the Cincinnati
Enquirer. has ever pointed the way?
Whether its views OF Tilden, Pendle-
ton, Thurman, Hoadly McSweeney,
Durbin Ward, Converse, Newman and
every other prominent Democrat that
stood in the way of its ambition has
tended to that end?"

The Stark County Democrat said the
same week:
Democrats now feel too good over
the grand result in Ohio to heed The
Enquirer's malignant assault upon Mr..
Thompson chairman of the Demo-
cratic state committee). In its hurry
it has overshot the mark. A little de-
lay might have rendered its malice
more eifeceual. Democrats remember
The Enquirer's mean attacks upon Mr..
Tilden, upon Senator Thurman, and its
continued thrusts at Senator Pendle-
ton"

fluencei
"Had 1t really had influence and
power, James W. Newman would not
be the secretary of state-elect."
The Democratic Delaware Herald of
Oct, 26, 1882, said:
1T is well known to every Democrat
iu Ohio that The Enquirer is a worse
and more dangerous enemy to the
Democratic party than any other jour
nal in the state, and any effort 1t may
make in the future to disrupt or injure
the party will be fruitless. 1t tried at
Columbus, at the state convention, to
bring about a quarrel among the lead
ers of the party and defeat 1t, but
ANONYMOUSLY failed in its efforts
there During the campaign, in
mean, cowardly and treacherous man
ner, 1t stabbed the party through its
most active leaders, and now that the
party has triumphed over the efforts
of the Republicans and the treachery
of The Enquirer, that sheet has COM
menced a crusade against those who
managed the campaign successfully
and honorably."

The Louisville Courier-Journal, the
leading Democratic organ of Ken
lucky Of Jan. %, 1888, said editorially,
regarding The Bnquirers opposition
to Senator Pendleton:
"As to the war upon Mr.. Pendleton
in Ohio, 1t is the offspring of nothing
but personal interests, animated by
corrupt and malignant motives, we be-
lieve."

On Jan. II the Wayne County Demo-
crat said: "The Enquirer continues its
warfare on Senator Pendleton. 1t is
now trying to read him out Of the
party. If all those who support the
civil service reform bill are to be read
out of the party The Enquirer will
have to read the majority OF the Dem
ocrats in the United States out and
among them the best men on the Dem
ocratic side"
Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1899-09-27

The Democratic GAINESVILLE Signal,
Dec. &c, 1882, said:
THE Enquirer would be OF more as
sistance to the Democratic party,
which means the people, if editorially
and through its correspondence it
would devote little less space to at
tack on Democratic leaders, and devote
more attention to the devious ways of
Republican statesmen"
The Bellefontaine Republican, early
in January, 1888, had an editorial in
which it said:
ut is said that John r. Mclean of
the Cincinnati Enquirer will be a can
didate for Pendleton's seat in the
United States senate, in case the DEM
ocrats carry the next Legislature"
Commenting on this, the Champaign
Democrat said: "The Democracy of
Ohio will flatten John r. Mclean adj
mirably, remembering how the Nc
Lean element was sat down upon at
the last state convention"

On Jan. 1883, the Democratic Della
ware Herald, in strong editorial
entitled "A Cowardly and Malevolent
Attack" said, after defending Senator
Pendleton at length from what it
called the "cowardly and infamous"
attacks made on him: Just now,
when he has led his party triumph
antly out of the wilderness, where it
has been hopelessly wandering for the
past 20 years, a few narrow-minded
short-sighted persons in his own party
some Of whom are jealous of his great
leadership and popularity, have COM
menced to attack him, with view Of
weakening his strength with his party
and the people 1t will avail them
nothing Mr.. Pendleton has proven
his devotion to the great principles Of
Democracy, and all the vituperation
directed at him by few personal enc
mics, championed by THAT VILE
AND MERCENARY SHEET, THE
CINCINNATI ENQUIRER THAT
HAS BEEN DEFAMING THE CHAR
ACTER OF EVERY LEADING DEM
OCRAT IN THE PARTY FOR
YEARS, will have no effect with the
Democracy, with whom his name is
dear"
Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1899-09-27

The Democratic Mt, Vernon Banner
remarked a few days later:
"The Cincinnati Enquirer has COM
menced grooming Judge Hoadly for
governor. We do not think that
Hoadly deserves such treatment"
Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1899-09-27

Later in January, 1883, the Demo
cratic Steubenville Gazette, said: I'VE
wish that the editor of The Enquirer
was as good Democrat as Mr.. Pen
dleton."

added: "If the Cincinnati guerrilla

TO the intersection of the siXty-third
parallel of north latitude with the one
hundred and fifty first meridian of west
longitude, and is designated in recent
maps of Alaska as Mt. Mckinley: al
though it was not inaptly named by
the early Russian settlers around Cook
Inlet, Bushaia, which translated,
means big"
In a general way the great height Of
Mt. Mckinley has always been known
TO the Indians and the scattering
whites, who settled in the vicinity of
Cook Inlet and along the banks of the
Sushitna. as its towering summit is
plainly visible on clear days for a dis
lance of 125 miles or more. So far as
there is any record. however, no at
tempt was ever made prior to the sum
mer of 1898 TO measure its exact height.
UNEMPLOYED ALASKA
Alaska has an area of nearly 100000
square miles exclusive of its many is
lands and its coast line exceeds that
of the United States Accurate data
with regard to the geography of this
immense territory is as yet difficult to
obtain. There are many large areas
on the map of Alaska which have never
been viewed by the eye of the ON
niscient white man and are totally I'M
known.
II was in response to a very general
desire for more and better information
about Alaska that several departments
of the government received appropria-
lions from congress TO equip and send
out exploring parties. whose duty 1t
would be TO break up several OF these
blank areas and to ind and report on
routes TO the interior from American
seaports. Twenty thousand dollars
placed at the disposal Of the United
States geological survey. determined
that body to organize and send into
