A revolution is going on In the world of
labor. The old order is being set aside,
and new conditions confront those who
must earn their bread IN the sweat Of in
dustry. The machin Is supplanting the
man. All modern invention simply de-
yelops in some ingenious manner some
plan of accomplishing desired results with
out the use of human hands. The trend OF
the times is not in the direction Of creating
opportunities for the employment OF msn,
is not favorable to the wage-earning
classes, but is in the direction OF marvel
Gus ingenuity for dispensing with men and
for constructing machinery. The result,
very naturally, Is that the employer of
labor can afford to be more exacting, and
only the skilful, the sober, the industrious
and persevering can succeed. The world
is too busy aud life is too short to spend
precious moments in patient forbearancs
with Incorporate men. A drinking man
is a drag on the business that is inflicted
with his presence. A clear head, a steady
hand and an unelouded mind are needed
In these active days to keep pace with tho
march OF the machine, that never gets
drunk, that never murmurs over long
hours Of labors, and that nevor rebels
against the masters orders.-Rev. James

A PROCLAMATION BY GohEz.
He VIII Not Lay Down His Sword
Until the Army is Paid.

HAVANA, Cuba (By Cable).-General Max
imo Gomez, COMMANDMENT Chief of the
Cuban Army, was recently invited by the
Junta Patriotica TO visit Havana. At n
meeting of the Junta on Tuesday q letter
was read from General Gomez, in which he
refused to come to the city, basing his re-
fusal on the ground that his place is at the
head of the army. & added: Much tact
and wisdom are necessary to make the
American heel less severe on our necks.
You need to display great intelligence,
ability and well-directed energy"
In IL proclamation addressed to the
Cuban people n army General Gomez
says: "a new era has begun. The en-
emies OF our army are leaving the coun-
try, n the sovereignty of the island,
which is neither free nor indie
pendent, is exercised by the great
American nation. According to the
treaty of peace a foreign Power is
on the island, and its military oecupa-
tion cannot end until the Government of
the Cuban people is established. We
ought to Immediately put ourselves to the
task Of forming that government in order
to end the American Intervention as quick
ly ms possible, but before this it is neces-
sary, because it Is just, and in order that
all OF us can become civilians, to end sat
isfactorily the negotiations for the pay
ment of the army, a debt contracted by the
country with its faithful soldiers. While
the army is not paid and our Government
not established l will remain at the head
of the army, which l deem is my place. l
am resolved to help the Cubans and the
work to which l have devoted all my life."

At a reunion of Mosby's men, held
recently at Manassas, Va, a farmer
told about the capture of General
Stoughton at Fairfax Courthouse.
With - men Mosby advanced on a
rainy night, captured the first line of
pickets and carried them along to the
second, making them and the pickets
of the third line his prisoners. He
had more prisoners than his u men
could guard. Alone, Mosby proceeded
to the house in which General Slough
ton lay asleep. The guard at the door
was captured and disarmed and OBJ
liged to guide the Confederate gem
eral to the room OF General Stoughton.
The general was impatient when he
was nudged and called. With some
bad language he ordered his disturber
to leave him and not disturb him
again. "Did you ever hear of Mosby?"
he asked General Stoughton. This
had a startling effect upon General
Stoughton. "Haye you caught the
damned rascal?" lie asked, turning
over in bed. "No," said Mosby, ''and
you are my prisoner" And with that
General Stoughton was requested to
rise and dress himself. He was scarce
ly convinced yet that he had been
captured and could not believe that
his pickets were prisoners like him
self and that his personal guard was
overcome like the others; but n pistol
presented at his head convinced him
that argument was not what was needed
then, that he had better dress aud
travel with the guerilla aud trust to
luck to get away. With his - men
Mosby brought away all the pickets
and turned the general and the others
over to the rebel authorities at Cor.

The writer's of medical textbooks are
now giving more space and attention to the
subject of alcoholism than ever before.
Prominently mentioned IS catarrh of tho
mucus membranes Of the nose, throat,
stomach, intestines, larynx, bronehi and
Lungs; degenerative changes in stomach,
liver, heart. blood vessels, kidneys, repro
ductive organs and nervous system; last
and not least, insanity and impotence.
Owing to the ignorance of the public of
these baneful effects OF alcoholic indul-
gence and the reticence of physicians in
properly ascribing the factorship of alco-
hol in the production OF diseases, the i'm
preston or belief has largely obtained that
1t was the remedy, not the alcohol, that
was the causatiye agent OF many OF these
ills; for alcohol so masks the symptoms OF
other diseases that frequently 1t is not I'M
til the alcohol is withdrawn that the
patients exact condition is made manifest.
