Success.

Columbus, O., Sept. 15.--(Spl.) Tie
Democrats of Ohio opened their cam
paign in this city yesterday and the oc-
casion will long be remembered as a
red letter day in the party's history.
Not less than $4,000 people listened
intently to Bryans speech in Goodale
park. The great orators former eff
forts before Ohio's Democracy seemed
insignificant compared with yester-
days speech. The vast audi
.ence seemed to be under a magic
spell. They were thrilled by the elo-
quence of the speaker and round upon
round of applause lasting for several
minutes were given at the close of the
meeting.
On account of the cold shoulder being
turned on the state committee by the
railroad companies, the crowds may
not have equaled the large numbers of
four years ago. However as the par
ade passed through the streets the
crowd was so dense that the procession
could scarcely penetrate 1t.
But whatever was lacking in mum.
bers was more than made up in en-
thusiasm and the rank and file of the
Republicans were given to understand
that the Democratic party is not dead

nlnerenoe IN omclal salaries.

The retirement of Sir William White
as head of the construction department
of the British navy calls attention to
the fact that his pay has been $4,000
a year, while Rear Admiral Hichborn,
who does the same work in the Ameri-
can navy, is paid but 5000. The sal:
airy in this instance is good basis Of
comparison, and the same proportion
holds true in many other branches Of
the service. The salaries of the officers
in the higher ranks in England are
greater than in America, and this ar.
gument is often made in favor Of in.
creasing the pay in this country, and
probably will be made now that the
comparison between the pay of the two
naval construction chiefs is suggested.
Yet 1t is forgotten that the pay Of cap
tains and officers of lower ranks in the
navy is greater in America, as is the
pay of seamen. This is the case In
civil service, as well, says the Chicago
Tribune. The First Lord of the Treas
ury in England receives more than
three times the pay that is given to
Secretary Gage. Yet the clerks and
heads of the various bureaus in the
American treasury department receive
two or three times as much pay as the
men who do the same work in Eng
land. The American plan is, on the
whole, better, though some clerks are
overpaid.

The Hoboken Horror.

The magnitude Of the fire horror at
Hoboken and the unique nature Of
some of its phases seem to call for
comment. And yet what comment can
be made beyond the trite reflection that
man is often feeble creature when
pitted against the elements Of nature?
There never was a scene that beg.
CARED description" though that is a
convenient phrase 4 for the incompe-
tent. But there are sensations that
can not be put into words. It is diff
cult to more than suggest the sicken-
ing horror that grasps the mind in
ducing sometimes physical nausea
when first 1t faces such catastrophe.
1t is hard to describe a shudder. AS
shudder, some babbling of phrases
and then we turn to something else.
1t is just as well that we do not dwell
upon such fearful, CHASTITY things.

Poklng Fire for A Living.
The trades of London are many, and
some of them seem very strange to an
American. One occupation by which
score of Britons are said to earn their
livelihood is that of "poking fires" 1t
is thus described by a London ex-
change, and whatever else may be
thought of the story, it speaks we'll for
the Jews of England, as faithful keep
ers of their law. BY the Rabbinical
law, no Jew is allowed to kindle or
mend any fire on the Sabbath; and in
certain places in England, where Jews
are very numerous, this prohibition
makes it necessary that persons shall
be employed from sunset on Friday to
the same hour on Saturday, in going
from house to house lighting fires and
lamps, and attending to them. One
woman in the East End of London
often has as many as fifty houses tc
attend to, and draws small fees from
each of them. 1t is not long since q
male ''fire-poker" in that quarter dice
worth more than three hundred poundj
which he had saved out of his earn,
ings. 1t often happens at the Eas,
End that strict Jew goes out into
the street and says to some Christian
passer-by, would you be so kind as
to come indoors and light my lamp:

services of this kind. One of them
said that he had received scores o.
small presents for putting kettles on
the fire.

some Medical Problems Answered.

~
The name rheumatism is applied to
great variety of affections accompan-
led with pain in the joints or muscles,
some of them more of equity nature,
pthers probably of infectious origin,
and others still the expression of some
disease Of the nervous structures.
Acute articular. or inflammatory,
rheumatism is disease characterized
by pain, and swelling in one or more
Of the joints, usually the larger ones,
such as the knee, together with fever
of more or less intensity. It is dis
ease of temperate climates, especially
in cold and damp regions, being very
seldom seen in the tropics. It occurs
In this country chiefly in late winter
and early spring, although it may oc-
cur, particularly on the seacoast at
any time Of the year. In England it is
said to be most frequent in the au-
tumn. It attacks persons between the
ages Of fifteen and forty more COM
monty than those who are older or
younger Physicians are not yet agreed
as to it's nature, although many now
incline to regard it as germ disease.
1t begins gradually, with slight aching
in the limbs, sore throat, and general
feeling of depression. The appetite
fails, the tongue is heavily coated,
often there is complaint of headache
and of chilly sensations, and the suffer-
er is generally "out of Sorts" There
is feverishness, and as this increases,
pain and swelling appear in one or
more of the large joints. The joints
attacked are hot. red and exquisitely
painful, and have every appearance of
being severely inflamed.
All these symptoms may disappear
in single night from one joint, and
appear at the same time in another;
and so the disease may go on, attack
Ing one joint after another, those first
affected recovering much of their tone
and function. One of the characteris-
tic symptoms is profuse Precipitation;
the skin is not red and dry, as in most
fevers, but cool, moist, and sometimes
actually dripping with sweat. The
disease may come to an end in week
or ten days, or it may go on attacking
toint after joint. and when all have
suffered it may begin over again, and
so go on indefinitely. AS long as the
rheumatism is confined to the joints
there is little danger, although occa-
sionally death results from excessive
,,sssf; but there is always danger that
t may attack the lining membrane OF
;ae heart and cripple the organ per-
aanently. Rarely it attacks the mem
lrane Of the brain. causing violent de-
Srium or death.

The Plague in Bible Times.

F..
The discovery of the part played by
infected rats in the dissemination of
the bubonic plague has led to a new
Interpretation Of passage in the First
Book of Samuel. describing fatal
sickness which affected the Philistines
after they carried off the Hebrew Ark
of the Covenant. Mice are mentioned
in connection with the epidemic, and
this fact, together with the descrip-
ton OF the effects of the disease, leads
Doctors Tidswell and Dick of the Royal
Society of New South Wales to the
conclusion that the epidemic described
in Samuel was an outbreak of the
bubonic plague. This carries the his
tory of that disease 800 years farther
back than it had previously been re-
corded.

The Pure Food Law.

The pure food law. which was en-
acted by the General Assembly last
year, has gone into full force. The oh
ject of the law is to stop entirely the
sale of food products when conea.n
harmful ingredients, and to compel
vendors of food z Sycts which are
adulterated with Ingredients which
are harmless to brand or mark their
goods so that the purchaser may know
that that is the case and may govern
himself accordingly. Certainly this
is an excellent law, and consumers
