and cannot tell you where it is or

not in school. He will say: Father

old mother why her little fellows
were not in school, she will say:

around here all day, and today
my little fellow returned the visit.

Well, preachers, missionaries and
teachers have hard time trying
to suit everybody and their Lord

In missionaries because they can't

and they will say: He is not
strict enough or he would stand

the mean boys and girls half the
time. Some think their children
ought to learn whether they send
them to the school or not Just so
there is school in the neighbor-

Mr.. EDITOR: Being on the
sick list and not able to do any
thing but sit around | thought |
would pass off some of the weary
moments by penciling a few lines
to your worthy columns. How>
ever, if you think me off my
equilibrium mentally as we'll as
physically, | shall not feel badly
to know of this falling into the
waste basket. But, Young says,
"Who does the best his circum,
stances allow, does well, acts
nobly; angels could do no more"
Hence to the rural districts, in
whom | am SO much interested
from the serious and deplorable
fact Of their ease and contentment
of failing to keep pace with the
times, allowing their children to
be brought up in total ignorance
and In consequence enslaving them
to the rest of civilization, ask the
question, are you able to comply
with the affirmative of the words
quoted above? You ask what
have to do with it, Nothing
more nor less than to assert that
there should be law compelling
you to send,your child to school
especially when right at your
door and in session. And most,
because | love you and your pos
terity.

A Home for Consumptlves.

culoSlS mas made the astonishing
statement that Is per cent of the
entire human race is afflicted with
either latent or active germs of
tuberculosis, and that nearly 25 per
cent of'all deaths are caused by this
one disease. The above statement
was made by specialist of world
wide fame, and after thirty years
of experience with thousands of
tubercular cases.
For the past ten years, in one
of our great cities. there were
2O9, 257 deaths and 27,24S of this
mum Der are recorded as having
died with consumption. A
majority of these victims must
have come from the ranks of lab>
orlng people and from the poorer
classes, on account of insufficient
clothing, poor food and unsanitary
lodgings.
The patient suffering from Pul,
monary consumption becomes q
source of infe ction just as soon as
necrosis of the lung occurs, by
throwing off, with the sputum,
tubercle bacilli or the germs of
tuberculosis, and when it becomes
dry, these germs float in the air,
thus others are infected. A per-
son cannot inherit consumption,
as is generally supposed he can
only inherit a disposition to get it
from an infected patient. No
we'll Informed physician would
dispute this fact.
Consumptlves cannot he treated
properly by common practcing
physician for several reasons.
The first is he does not have time
to visit patient every day during
a period of from three to six
months, which time would be re-
qulred to effect cure. Tho
second is physicians as a rule can.
not properly handle Pulmonary
consumption because they are not
and cannot be expected to be ex-
perts on all diseas. and they cam
not afford to buy pneumatic cabi~
nets, etc, which are entirely es-
sential in order to treat consump.
tion in the light of the present cen.
tnry. Science has made such
progress during the past two years
that 1t is during the past two years
that this disease under proper
treatment can be cured.
1t is worse than useless to teach
people, especially the working
classes, facts concerning consump
ton and not point out the remedy.
Oar State government should pro.
vide an institution for the treat
ment and cure of tuberculosis.
Massachusetts has a state Santa.
rum for consumptives, and why
should not our beloved "Palmetto
State" keep in touch with the
progress of the coming century
and take care of her sick poor.
You will say that Massachusetts
needs such an institution on ac-
count of being IN a cold climate,
causing a greater number of tubs
CIRCULAR patients, but such does not
seem to be the case. South Caro-
INA is rapidly becoming factory
state and consequently greater the
need of a home for consumptives.
We have an asylum for our insane
and yet no place for our consump
tive poor, when if they were
properly cared for, thousands of
cases coold be cured any possibly
be made immune from the disease
hereafter. A prominent physi-
clan of Philadelphia recently said:

to the voters of Lancaster county.
10 the citizens at large, Dear Sirs:
the time has come when the candi-
dates for the different offices are
making their appearance through
the press. Let us bear in mind,
that those Candidates have a partic~
ular object in view. Some of
them ar seeking the office for the
money that there is in it. Some
are seeking offices of honor. Let
us as a good people, and a free
people take no advantage of them
because they are candidates. All of
their doors are open to those who
wish to partake of their hospitali-
ties. On public occasions, when the
crowd has commenced to Aisperse,
you will see the candidate start.
and it will look to the eyes of the
spectators as little army was on
their way to place of rendezvous.
While men extend to us, such q
cordial welcomed it is our duty.not
tonmpose on their good nature. 1t
might he the case sometimes that
the good wife of the candidate had
made preparation for only four
or five, and to her utter astonish-
ment, she finds that there are seven
or eight men-don't you know
that'she would be nonplussed. A
candidate may be recognized in
the light Of public target. They
are asSalIed on every hand. You
will see some men when public
building is about to be erected 90

how much are you gong to give
me on my subscription. And
again you will find another class
who will approach the candidate
and ask him if he had heard of the
mlSfortunes of my family. The
candidate will answer yes or no,
as the nature of the case may be-

family Is in Il critical condition.

remember that sickness is not con,

locality in the county, and if the
candidates were to attempt to
all of the applicants, they
would have but little money left.

AN ULTIMATUM SENT
TO Ii HUNG CHANG
Secretary Hay Demands That Communication Be
Established With the Ministers at Once.

gregate strength of the column Is not over
$4,000 men.
This, however, is regarded by our gov
ernment as quite sufficient for the purpose
of an immediate advance, and holding
that in view they have lost no opportunity
of quietly but earnestly urging the Eu-
ropeans to action.
The advantage was taken of the oppor-
tunity afforded by the Presidents return
to Washington this morning to hold a
meeting of the cabinet. Secretary Hay
was present with a full report of all that
he had done in relation to the Chinese
trouble since the Presidents departure,
and there was little for the cabinet to do
but to set the seal of it's approval upon
the secretary's. policy and particularly
upon the energetic communication to Ii
Hung Chang
