A guest 10 the GrunewaId lobby ex.

On one side was strange looking

"Life's Poetry and Pearls. I"

Deep, brilliant, thoughtful; full Of
sentiment but void of sentimentalism !;
rich and resonant with beautiful
thoughts, was the lecture by Hon. A..
A. Taylor at the Opera House Monday
night. Col. Taylor's mental superiori-
ty, his love of the good, the true and
the beautiful, his ability to Undue
thoughts with life, amply qualify him
to sustain his we'll earned reputation as
one Of the foremost lecturers OF the
day. Mr.. Taylor's is an unique type of
oratory, and, unlike many others, he
possesses the happy faculty of being
highly entertaining without sacrificing
his dignity. And there is just enough
humor in the lecture to season it prop
erly. Analysed or as a whole, "Life's
Poetry and Pearls" is one Of the grand
est lectures we have ever heard-a per-
feet product Of a perfect mind, noble,
elevating, refined. We can conscien-
tiouslY say that wherever Mr.. Taylor
goes not one will leave the lecture
room disappointed or dissatisfied.

THE FIRST BABY.
ITS Coming Is Looked Forward to
With Both Joy and Fear and its
Safe Arrival is Hailed With
Pride and Delight by All.

The arrival OF the first baby in the
household is the happiest and most inn
portant event of married life. The young
wife who is to become mother delights
to think of the happiness in store for her
when the little one shall nestle upon her
breast and latterly she shall hear it lisp
the sweet and holy name, mother. "
But her happy anticipation quickly van
ishes when she realizes the terrible pain
and suffering through which she must
pass while bringing the little one into
the world. Anindescribable fear of the
danger attendant upon the ordeal soon
dissipates her joyfulness.
Thousands of women have learned
by experience that there is absolutely
no necessity for the sufferings which at
tend childbirth; they know that by
the use Of Mothers Friend"--a scien-
tific liniment-for few weeks before
the trying hour, expeotant mothers can
so prepare themselves for the final
hour that the pain and suffering of the
dreaded event are entirely obviated and
It is safely passed through with COM
paratively little discomfort.
All women are interested, and es-
pecially expectant mothers who for the
first time have TO undergo this trial, In
such remedy for they know the pair
and suffering, to say nothing Of the dan
ger, which Is in store for them. '4Moth-
er's Friend" is woman's greatest bles-
sing, for it takes her safely through the
severest ordeal of her life. Every woman
should be glad to read the little book
Before Baby is Born" which contains
information OF great value to all. II

Secretary Alger, who has Just re-
turned to Washington, is lacking in
many of the characteristics that go to
make an ideal secretary of war, but he
attempts to make up for all of them with
gall, OF which he has about as much as
any man who ever held cabinet port
folio. And his latest is little beyond
all his previous exploits IN the gall line.
He has actually gone so far as to die
tate to Mr.. Mckinley, if the public
talk of his henchmen can be believed.
According to the Algerites, Alger is
not satisfied with the whitewashing
given him by the war commission and
the alleged vindication given him by
the report of the military court of in,
quiry, which Mr.. Mckinley has just
approved and ordered published, but
demands that Gen. Miles shall be de-
posed from the command of the army
In addition to having demanded this o.

told him that il he did not issue the or

1t has been decided by the republi-

selves an opportunity to change their
minds, should it be deemed advisable
later to do SO, they will not say more
than that an extra session is probable
The fact OF the matter is that they are

Mr.. Mckinley will, of course, be q
candidate for denomination, but it is
by no means certain that he will win.
The scandals under his administration
have made it difficult for his friends to
defend it. Alger, Shafter, Eagan and
Others, who have figures prominently
in the administration, have not added
to Mr.. McKinley's reputation or i'm

Conservative observers believe that AL

Mr.. Mckinley seems to be develop
ing disposition to play Gear. He or
dered Representative Henderson, Of
Iowa, chairman of the republican eau
Gus committee that recently completed
a financial bill, when he called at the
white house with copy of the bill, to
change it before it was submitted to
the republicans of the senate finance
committee, who it seems must approve
it before it is made public. Col. Hen
derson is peppery sort OF fellow oc-
casionally, but being candidate for
speaker of the house, he did not care to
quarrel with Mr.. Mckinley, SO he only
called his attention to the fact that
every clause in the bill has been put
there by unanimous vote Of the COM
mittee. The order to change it was re-
iterGted by Mr.. Mckinley.

A Gem.

A fair-sized representative audience
greeted Hon. A. A. Taylor at the Har,
melting opera house last night. Judge
Thomas Curtin introduced Mr.. Taylor
in a concise, well-worded talk. Mr..
Taylor's lecture was a rare intellectual
gem, which caught the audience and
held it from start to finish. He
dwelt upon the poetical side of human
life and delineated the pearls which hui
mainly seeks and struggles for in beau.
tiful comparisons and figures. Mr..
Taylor represents unique type of ora
tory and has the power of entertaining
which but few platform speakers can
boast of. Want of space will not allow
us to review some of his beautiful
flights and figures, but suffice it to say
the lecture as whole was far above the
average, being one of the best ever de.
livered in the city.-Bristel Tribune.

Boss Platt's edict has gone forth that
New York shall have but one candidate
for the speakership, and that Payne,
Ray, and possibly other members of the
delegation, who have either positively
or practically announced themselves as
candidates, will be forced out of the
way to give Sherman the unanimous
suppost Of the delegation. This, and
rumors that Sherman had made deal
