They were seated together in car
of an incoming suburban train the
other morning, SO near TO The Saun-
tercr that he could not avoid hearing
every word OF their conveI sation, re-

FRAGRANT SALTS.
Delicate and Refreshing Prepara-
tiou That IL Easily

Women Of to-day are not as liable to
faint as their grandmothers were. be-
cause they dress more sensibly and DO
not wear as tight dresses or IS tight
shoes and gloves, but il is a wise and
sensible precaution 10 keep fragrant
salts on hand. says the New York Trlo-
une. Any salt loses its strength in
short time ne simple lavender salts
are the most desirable OF al perfumed
salts. These are easily prepared at
home. While you are preparing por-
ton OF these salts it is as easy to make

Vinaigrettes are often very elaborate,

procure from trustworthy druggist
half a pound Of carbonate OF ammonia

in mortar, or in any dish that will
mix them. Set the mixture in large

mixture several times while it is heat

the foolish habit of using vinaigrette
continually. Cases OF obstinate deaf
ness have been ascribed to this cause.
The salts are also said to have an iuju-
rious effect on the vocal chords as well
as on the auditory nerves when used
continually. Even the odor OF flowers.
notably the odor OF violets, has been
known to cause singer temporarily
to lose her voice.

CLOUDS AND WEATHER

A dispatch frcm Charleston says the
unprecedented heat wave has played
deadly havo: with the poor Negroes
living on ,he sea islands along the coast.
Il appears that the Negroes have been
Gying from fever, which is primarily
caused from the heat and allowed to
thrive because the sick cannot get medi-
cal attention required in such cases.
This summer there has been more
fever On the sea Islands than for some
years past, snd this disease has ben
sent tbrivipg ca by the hot and dry
weather. People who have been around
sick rooms with fever pat!eats can best
imagine the condition Of the poor Ne
grocs in the novels who have TO DEPEND
ou vocdooism for relief and who have
TO stay ic serious way without proper
attention and without ice The Island
Negroes have felt the bitterness of it
all aud they simply lie do|n and die
when the fever strikes them. In some
Of the huts it has been told here that 2
whole family would be i'll at time, and
that their cnly atten,ion would come
from the nelS!borS who were inclined
to leId assistance. The physicians in
these islard neighhorhocds have done
th@ir bes: TO give relief 70 the Negroes,
and pretty mdch al Of thi, has been
charity. Even With charity physicians,
however, the sufferers heve not been
cared for as their conditions might de

One of Mr.. Bryan's hot shot
which worries the imperialists
especially is this: I place the
philosophy Of Franklin against
the sordid doctrine of those who
would put price upon the life
of an American soldier and JUS
tify a war of conquest upon the
ground that it will pay. The
Democratic party is in favor of
the expansion of trade. 1t would
extend our trade by every legiti-
mate and peaceful means, but it
is not willing tomake merchan-
disc of human blood"
The Chicago Chronicle calls
attention to the fact that the op.
ponents eff Mr.. Bryan not only
concede his absolute honesty
but are actually using this as an
argument for his defeat. The
contrast between the Demo-
cratic candidates and the Re
publican is as sharp as the con-
Jrast in PLATFORM. Mr.. Bryan
is in sympathy with his party
declarations. Mckinley is not.
Bryan leads his party. McKin-
ley follows the trusts.

The Republicans started the presi-
lential campaign with the utmost
confidence. In the latter part Of Sep
tember they began to worry about the
outcome, but have recently picked up
courage, and are now quite sure THAI
President Mckinley is to be elected.
The chairman Of the Republican and
Democratic Campaign Committees
have both issued estimates CT the re-
suits, and both make claims that are
little short of being absurd. The Dem
oeratic estimate is absolutely ridicu-
lous. 1t comedies only nine states to
Mckinley, and gives Bryan more than
800 out Of 447 electoral votes. The
wildness of this claim is highly en-
couraging to the Republicans. Either
the Democratic managers are them
selves deceived as TO the outlook, or
they are trying to deceive others by a
| bold bluff, and either may be regarded
as a sign Of weakness. Our readers
