Tonight, When Special Agent Helm

WIN have Reported,
ENUHERATORS EXPERIENCES
Reveal Some Ludicrous Incidents-A
Chinese Mix-up at BenwoOd
That is Amusing.

Special Agent Charles A. Helm
bright, in charge Of the taking OF the
twelfth United States consus In Wheel
ing and Ohio county. stated to an In
telllgencer man last night that he be-
lieved all OF the enumerators in the
Wheeling district will have made thelr
returns to him tonight. The country
enumerators have noe yet begun TO re-
port. their limit being July /, while the
limit In the city. two weeks, expires
Friday night. The performance OF
the city enumerators in completing
their work within the prescribed limit
is a praiseworthy performance, and
shows that supervisor Harvey W. Har-
mer made his selections In this county
with rare good Judgment.
Some Of the enumeratOrs have en-
countered very ludlcrous experiences
In the course of the past two weeks,
and doubtless the encounter OF BEN
wood enumerator with pair Of Chi
nese laundrymen carries of the honors.
The enumerator entered the laundry,
and one OF the Celestials responded to
the young mans announcement that
he was taking the twelfth United
States census:
mo wantee; no givee twelve centee."
Then the enumerntor made show OF
force by displaying silver badge. and
making the threat In no unmistakable
language and gestures that he would
place the cleaners Of clothes under ar
rest. This brought the other "boxer"
to the front. and whispered consult
alton followed. resulting in the one who
had a partial mastery of the English
tongue agreeing to "glvee censee", AT.
ter quite a struggle. the enumerator
filled the blanks to his own satisfaction

clerks at Washington. and was pre-
pairing to leave the place, when one
OF the Chinese called him back, and
sticking a yellow fist into his treasure
box, carefully counted out twenty-four
cents, which he proffered to the aston

A DEFINITION OF IMPERIALISM.

The New York Journal was asked to
define imperialism and replied: TIC
make the meaning plain by ilIustra-
ton, it may be said that the American
colonies fought the Revolutionary war
because of England's Imperialism. The
best exposition of Imperialism extant
is to be found in William Jennings
Bryan's notification speech at Indiana
polls Republics cannot have subjects,
he says. To tax without allowing re-
presentation; to govern without the
consent of the governed that is i'm
perialism. American imperialism Is to
plant our flag in an alien land without
the constitution. We have done this,
through the present republican admin
istration, on the Philippine islands.

A GREAT TASK FOR HANNA.

The Boston Post, commenting upon
the situation politically, declares there
is no ''silYer issue" in the fight this
year. Mr.. Hanna will find 1t difficult
to strike terror to-the souls of moneyed
men by picturing their wealth sudden
lY turned into 50cent dollars through
the defeat of William Mckinley. And
with this question out of the way, the
Post says it remains to be seen how at
tractive to contributors will be the plea
of the need of funds to secure the in
definite continuance of the Philippine
war or the retention of Porto Rico as
a Grown Colony instead of Territory
of the United States.

For 20 years DR.. Hathaway has confined his
practice almost exclusively to diseases of men,
and during that time he has restored more men
to health Vigor, usefulness and happiness than
any ten other doctors in the country combined.
DR.. Hathaway treats and cures by method
entirely his own, discovered and perfected by
himself and used exclusively by him, Loss of
Vitality, VarcOcele, Structure, Blood Poisoning
in its different stages, rheumatism, Weak Back,
all manner of urinary complaints, Ulcers, Sores
and Skin Diseases, Brights Disease and all forms
of Kidney Troubles. His treatment for under
toned men restores lost vitality and makes the
patient strong, well, vigorous man.
Dr.. HathaW2y'S success IN the treatment of
Varicocele and Structure without the aid of knife
or cauteTy is phenomenal. The patient is treat
ed by this method at his own home without pain
or loss of time from business. This is positively
the only treatment which cures without an oper-
alton. DR.. Hathaway calls the particular atten-
ton of sufferers from VaTicocee and Structure to
pages q, %, 20, 80 and 81 of his new book.
Every case taken by DR.. Hathaway is specially
treated according to its nature all under his gem
eral personal Supervision, and all remedies by
him preparedfrOm thepureStand beStdrugs in
his own laboratories under his personal oversight
Dr.. Hathaway makes no charge for cOnsulta-
ton or advice, either at his office by mail, and
when case is taken the one low fee covers all
cost of medicines and professional services.
DR.. Hathaway always prefers, when it is posi-
ble to have his patients call on him for at least
one interview but this is not essential as he has
cured scores of thousands of patients in all Sec
tons of the world whom he has never seen. His
system OF Home treatment is so perfected that
he can bring about a cure as surely and speedily
as though the patient called daily at his Office.

SECRET OF BRYAN's STRENGTH.

It is the custom of the Mckinley
shouters to denounce Bryan as IAN or
ganizer of socialistic revolution in this
country, who, if elected president,
would restore silver and sweep the
black flag of Reputation and dishouor
over the whole country" The MAORI
ty of the American people, however,
are beginning to resent this kind of
abuse, says the New Orleans States,
because they know Mr.. Bryan is not an
apostle of anarchy, but an honest and
sincere man. He has grown wonder
fully in popular esteem since the
campaign of 1896. Constantly before
the public for the past four years, he
has been heard by vast audiences in all
parts of the country.
Those who have composed his au-
dieneas, and the many others who have
read his frank utterances on public
questions, have come to have entire
faith in his downright and upright
sincerity of purpose. This view has
found candid acknowledgment among
those most opposed to the Chicago plat
form. Thus Mr. Thomas B. Reed is
reported to have said of him last year
in an interview: cit is the mans great
ability to rise to whatever occasion
confronts him that is his most marked
and valuable characteristic.
Mr.. Bourke Cochran was also report
ed to have said of him last year in an
interview: ST do not believe that after
many years of active participation in
politics and three years leadership
his moral nature has become colored
by even a shadow of a selfish motive,
or that in order to be elected presi-
dent tomorrow he would consent to
temporlze with his belief or evade the
expression of it."
a short time ago the Chicago Times
Herald paid the following editorial tri-
butte to Mr.. Bryan, although it is the
strongest Mckinley organ in the West:
wherever he goes he meets with
manifestations of almost fanatical
personal loyalty, Very few American
politicians have been the objects of
such general or intense devotion.
"What, then, will explain this extra
ordinary phenomenon? 1t may be re-
ferred to a combination of causes, each
potent in its way. Mr.. Bryan has
character, sincerity, winning person
atty, intellectual brilliancY, eloquence:
and the elements are so mixed in him
as to produce the best possible effect.
"Mr. Bryan is clean of speech and
act. He has nothing to explain. He
is honest in his convictions. What he
lacks most is lively humor, and this
sometimes does a politician more harm
than good, as S. s. Cox used to confess
ruefully. Much as Americans enjoy a
joke, they prefer serious men in high
places"
The country knows Mr.. Bryan very
much better now than they did -four
year ago, and in him they find man
who is sincere, who may be mistaken
in some things but is never dishonest,
and the Republican leaders have come
to realize that it will not do to as
sumo that he is a demagogue at the
head of mob. lie cannot be disposed
of by crying, Socialist, " anarchist, -
or even Traitor" He is the greatest
political leader of this generation, a
man of strong character, courage and
| serious purpose.

evening few of the "clansmen" gather

merry evening to the inspiring strains of
the bagpipes and the quaint dances so
dear to the Scotchman's heart
Following the pibroch and the dances
We're good things to eat and drink. The
affair was entirely an informal one and

their praises of the cordiality of their
