WILD ALARUM OF MORNING.
The Only Mcintyre Ponders on the
Strange Tastes of an CrclvE-
lied Country.

Twas a calm morning. The milk
man had just started on his rounds and
the inhabitants of the various fats
were still slumbering sweetly. The
door brasses were awaiting the bur-
nishing process which was to cause
them to glitter in the sun, when sud-
denly wild squawk, a grunt and a
yell, as if some one was in his death
agony, was heard, says the Chicago In
ter Ocean.
Wives nudged their husbands, say
ing in their usual beautiful way when
their spouses are enjoying their last
and sweetest nap: Did you hear
that?" Nine out of ten lad heard the
weird noise, but none of them would
stir.
The squawks and grunts and yells
continued, not always in the same or
der, for sometimes grunt would de-
velop into squawk and then become
a yell, while at other times they
would all seem to be mixed together in
one unearthly note in which they had
no separate identity.
This was continued for five minutes
until everyone was wide awake. and
all along the line of the street a sig
nal of nightdresses and pajamas ran.
The milkman's horse dashed furiously
away to his stable; some small boy
tumbled into the river and sent in a
fire alarm; some one else most cOnso-
erately ran for a doctor; while the
sleepy policeman. who was having his
morning cocktail in the corner saloon,
drew his nightstick and awaited events
Presently the fire engine dashed up,
followed by the truck. only to find that
there was nothing for them to do. No
one knew what the matter was or had
been, for the ghastly sounds had died
away. So the firemen proceeded to
return, the doctor called down i'm.
precautions on his lot; the milkman
drove out cautiously once more, and
the policeman was on the point of re-
suming his cocktail when suddenly,
once more, growing louder and louder
and fuller and fuller in. its intensity
came those awful sounds. Everyone
listened for a moment and then the
policeman dashed up the stairs of the
nearest house until he reached the
fifth story. The sounds increased in
volume as he climbed the stairs. He
hammered at the door of the room
whence the noise proceeded, and was
met by: Fat ia tell dye mean?"
''What do / mean?" answered the
policeman. ''What do you mean?
There's too much noise at this time in
the morning."
'Weel, maybe there is, but it iss
ferry goot music for a that. Weel
weel, she'll no blaw no more till after
breakfast"
And the only Mcintyre, who had ar
rived in the city the day before, put
his bagpipe away carefully and pom
dered on the tastes of an uncivilized
country.

in England giving the English "ex-
planation" of the Boer war.
The literature is being sent to
school-teachers in states where re-
publican success seems doubtful. 1t
is rather an insult to the intelligence
of educators to assume that they
know so little of current events as to
swallow campaign yarns of English
manufacture.
The bureau of statistics still grinds
out republican matter with great
regularity. It's latest bulletin tries to
make it appear that the English oc-
cupation of Pretoria has opened a
great market for American-made ag-
ricultural implements.
The bald fact is that the Boer in
habitants of the Transvaal are still
using swords instead of pruning
hooks and machine guns instead of
reapers.

ABOUT BRYAN'S CHANCES.
Business Men and WcrISincmen Are
Going to Vote for the PeO-
pies Candidate.

ASK the drummer whom he will vote
for. A vast number of them have lost
their positions because of combinations
which permit of one travelling man do
ing the work of several.
Mckinley prosperity has hurt him.
He will tell you that he voted for
Mckinley four years ago. He is going
to vote for Bryan this year.
lie can tell you why, too. He can
talk. The same brain and tongue that
make him a good drummer make him
a good Bryan worker.
The drummer is not only going to
vote for Bryan. That is not his speed
He is going to work for him. He is
scattered all through this big country
and he will come pretty near equaling
the Mckinley campaign orators in
number.
The drummer is going to be quite a
factor in the campaign this fall.
Ask the man who keeps the cigar
store whom he is going to vote for. He
voted for Mckinley last year.
He is going to vote for Bryan. He
has to buy his goods from the tobacco
trust. He can't make any money. The
trust gobbles the profit of the busi-
ness.
The cigar stand is a great place for
political discussion. Men congregate
there and talk about men, conditions
and issues. The keeper of the store
is looked up to as a man pretty we'll
posted. He has much influence in the
discussions. His views of Bryan and
trusts are certain to set his friends
thinking.
Ask the grocer whom he is going to
vote for. Or the man who keeps the
little hardware store. Ask any of the
store keepers who are pinched by the
trust.
You will find that very few of them
intend to vote against Mr.. Bryan.

CATARRH
or inflammation of this delicate pink

or inflammation of this delicate pink
membrane.
The system is weakened in VIM
ter. The delicate lining is more
susceptible to irritation or it1famma-
ton, and thus we have pneumonia,
grip, colds, coughs, fevers, etc., all
catarrhal conditions which may
easily be checked by one catarTh
cure-Pe-ru-na.
That's the only way out of it.
You may dose forever-you will
not be well until you try the true
cure and that is Pe-ru-na. You
may think your trouble is some
other disease and not catarrh. Call
it what you will, one thing is sure,
your system is affected and must be
treated, and Pe-ru-na is the only
remedy which reaches the right
place and does cure.

A RESCUE AT SEA.
PeriIOus Situation Relieved by the
Timely Utterances of q SPELL
Binder.

"Help! Help!"
In a panic the passengers rushed to the
side of the ship, and gazed helplessly at
those struggling in the waves, says Harper's
Bazar.
1t was indeed perilous situation.
What was to be done? There seemed to be
no rope at hand, and there was trouble in
lowering the lifeboat, and, as is usually the
case, none of the sailors could swim.
A lawyer suggested a writ of habeas cor
pus, but that was found impracticable, as
there was not Judge on board, and no one
to serve such writ, anyway.
At that instant a man of commanding
presence pushed into the frenzied crowd
and struck an attitude, close to the rail.
The drowning ones recognized him as a
famous political orator, and their spirits
rose:
Fellow citizens" he began, eve face a
erisis!"
The next moment cry of JOY went up.
For the people in the water were hang
ing on his words, in which position they con-
tinued till the boats were lowered.

ConceaiinG the Facts.
News comes from the Philippines
that eco Of them were killed by our
troops last week. 1t requires the
killing of large number cf these
alien people in order to prepare them
for the beauties of the Mckinley
carpetbag regime.
a report has also escaped the CEN
sor that from five to ten of our sol
diers are dying daily with the bubonic
plague. This is the rainy season and
our troops suffer untold hardships
Senator Pettigrew publishes a let
ter which he received from the Fill
ipino who conducted negotiations
with Admiral Dewey. in which the
Filipinos were promised independence
if they would help Dewey defeat the
Spaniards on land.
Of course the administration press
sneers at this, but it should not do so,
for tons of extracts from the Con-
gressonal Record are daily being
sent out by the republican campaign
managers, and these statements in
the Record were palpably written to
order by officers of our army in the
Philippines in order to bolster up the
administration position.
Senator Pettigrew's letter looks
much more authentic than the mat
ter which the republicans ask voters
to believe just because it has Phil
ippine postmark.

SALARIES FOR TEACHERS

For Days When They are Not at School.
The adoption of the rule regulating
the salaries of teachers for days when
they are not at school is taking up the
attention of the Stamford school COM
mittee. 1T was said that rules of a
similar nature in other cities had been
considered, and that the rules recon-
mended for adoption here were practic-
ally the same as those in force in New
Haven. These provide that teacher
shall forfeit her salary for absence, ex-
cepting when the absence Is caused by
illness or a death in the family, uncles,
aunts, cousins, brothers-in-law, and
sisters-in-law not being considered in
the family unless residing in the same
house. In the cases of the exceptions
the. teachers are to receive % per cent.
of their salaries for an absence not ex-
ceeding twenty days in year. For an
absence of over twenty days they are
to forfeit their salary. The slperinten-
dent has power to grant leave Of abb
sence for one day. Two weeks notice
of resignation Is required, and If 1t
ID not given, two weeks salary may
be forfeited.
The rules appeared to meet with fa-
vor, but was deferred until next meet

reached Bridgeport, and Saturday
delegation representing the w. c. T.
Y. called upon Superintendent Birming-
nam at his office to urge that official
TO see that all such business was sup
pressed
The members of the delegation point
ed out the action being taken in South
NorWalk, where it is almost impossible
to get glass Of soda water, and urged
him to bring about such conditions
mere, They pointed out that the law is
being violated by allowing sales Of ci-
gars, confectionery etc, and told him
1T was his plain duty to enforce the
statutes.
Superintendent Birmingham could
not quite see things in this light, and
pointed out that he was subject to the
orders Of a higher authority, which he
would have to consult before he could
take such drastic measures as proposed
by the ladies Of the w. G. T. U. After
lengthy conference the superintendent
referred his visitors to Mayor Stirling
as the appropriate person to whom to
refer such request.
Mayor Stirling, when asked if the
committee had visited him. replied that
1t had not, but that he would give the
matter careful consideration If present
cd to him. He said, however, that he
IS not entirely in sympathy with the
movement to enforce the old Puritanical
blue laws, and did not think there was
any great immortality in selling q cigar
or glass of soda Sundays, and that no
very great good would be accomplished
by prohibiting such sales. He will con-
slider the matter fully, however, If it is
presented to him.

school laws shall be so amended that
the board of education shall provide
public kindergartens for all children
over three years of age.

think it does. 1t keeps the children out

patriotism and manly purposes. 1t
gives correct habits and pure motives

maturity, become a criminal.
