Ex-Governor Bradley OF Kentucky.
lErnrn the Boston Heraldl

There is little doubt that Governor Bradley
is encontering opposition among The Kentucky
Republicans They are as a rule a very small
class of politicians and after he had served
one term in the gOyernorshp they dropped him TO
put the now notorious Governor Taylor in his
place. Governor Bradley was too able and too
upright a man for them, being far superior to
most of the locally active men of his party, both
in character and in talent. He is thoroughly
sound Republican. however; this has never been
questioned; and the fact that he refused TO per-
jtme himself under oath to shield his successor
in office should not prejudice him in the eyes of
the President.

We had occasion the other day to COM
ment on fresh promise of the Sultan Of
Turkey to pay the Armenian missionary
claims. One of yesterdays dispatches
stated that he has not paid cent to the
Cramps on account of the cruiser he con
tracted for with them. uor-for the naval
guns bought of the Krupps during the
past two years The latter are getting
tired of waiting, and should they have
the backing of the German Government,
might become troublesome creditors. In
the meantime our missionary societies
should refrain from spending that ninety
thousand dollars long ago due and paya-
bic by the Sublime Porte. BY the time the
amount is handed over il will probably
have become useless for its original pur
pose, as the whole world is likely to be
evangelical before Abdul IIamid is liable
to give UP a solitary sequin.

NOTHING EQUALS 1T


A physician now retired from practice
but who still keeps abreast Of the times
in speaking of the advance made in medi-
cine in the last ten years, says: lone
of the most obstinate and battling dis
eases is the very common trouble, ca
tarrh.
Nasal catarrh is only one of its many
forms; catarrh of the throat. catarrh OF
the stomach, bowels, liver and bladder
are very common, but the sufferer usual
ly thinks IL is something else than ca
'arrh and is treated for the wrong dis
ease.
The best and most successful treatment
for any form of catarrh is now admitted
10 be by internal remedies through the
stomach, and the safest and probably the
most efficient is the tablet form. sold by
druggists as stuart's Caterrh Tablets.
] have seen many remarkable cures OF
catarrh resulting from regular daily use
of these tablets, which seem to act on
the blood and liver, driving the catarrhal
poison out of the system through the
natural channels.
| once had occasion to analyze these
tablets and found them to contain No
cocaine nor opiates but simply a combi.
nation OF harmless antiseptics like
Eucalyptal. GuaiacoI. blood root. etc.

HEIGHTENED THEIR SORROWS.
Pathetic Incident Witnessed in Plant
system Waiting Room.


A pathetic scene was witnessed yester-
day morning in the Plant System wait
ing room, and the thoughtful act Of a
gentleman whose silvery locks shove
that he had already began the last lap
of lfe's Journey brought gladness and
sunshine TO six hearts
The room was crowded and among the
passengers was a woman with a careworn
expression, whose shabby gown told her
story of poverty. She was not alone, an
her five little children hoped her to de-
YOUR sandwich that would have but
whetted the appetite of a single healthy
child. One of the children, a little blue
eyed lassie, hobbled about on crutches,
and the tears sprang to the eyes of the
aged gentleman, waiting to step in a
parlor car and enjoy a trip of luxury
His heart was touched as his mind went
back to his own childhood days, and in
quiet and dignified way he stepped 10
where the children were seated. AS ne
passed each his hand elapsed theirs and
not only was its warmth left on their
chilled palms, but silver quarter found
its way there, too. The children look d
up in establishment, for they had never
been treated so before. They had begun
o realize that this is a cold and heart
less word and their surprise deprived
them of the power of speech. The weary
mother looked at the benefactor and her
eyes expressed more than words could
have spoken. The charitable gentleman
boarded a south-bound vestibule leaving
gladness and sunshine where he had
found sorrow and darkness. Although
performed without gusto, the incident was
witnessed by several of those in the wait
ing room.

DIR. MENDEs' LECTURE.
Discussed the Cause of the Working
mans Absence From Church.

Discussed the Cause of the Working
mans Absence From Church.
At the Tempe Mlckva Israel last nigh:
Rev. DR.. l. p. Meudes discussed the sub
ject "Why Will the Workngman Not
Come to Church. 1t is a question, said
Dr. Mendes, that needs an answer, and
a fact or condition that needs a remedy.
This absence from divine worship. DR..
Mendes said, is worthy of a certain
amount of condemnation, but then on the
other hand the workingman claims that
he has a defense, and this, too, is worthy
OF consideration, and has in 1t much of
truth.
THE workingman says that often he
fails to find either comfort for his pres
ent troubles or hope for his future. and
again that when he attends church there
is a marked difference shown between
him and those that occupy a higher
status in the intellectual world. Either
he is ashamed. or by other means made
to feel that he is an alien. and he goes
away, and often, after such treatment,
stays away for good"
In the course of his address DR.. Mendes
took the opportunity of referring to the
Sabbath question. He said that the times
now were not what they were 100 years
ago. That there had been the create
changes in the commercial and business
life and methods, and there also must he
changes as well in other matters. And,
he said, these changes will come.
To the workingman, he said. the Sab
bath should mean mere than a day of
mere rest; it should include some recrel-
ton. DO YOU think" he Sid the.
world would be less religious if men
were taught to look on the bright side
OF things instead of always at the fam
ing sword? DO you not think that Il
would achieve better results IL it were
taught that you should worship the Lord
thy God because you love HIM rat1er
than because you fear him. The Sab
bath day would he better observed and
its duties mere faithfully performed Il in

Editor Morning News: I notice that
mention has been made of the students of

Georgia Historical Society. l think this
is right; we pay SIS tuition, and should
be given all the privileges for getting
good educe ton. The Board of Education
gets over 5000 from the High School and
l think they shou d at least pay our men,
bership fee to the society after we are
elected under its rules. The money for
these memberships GOULD be taken out OF
the money we pay for tuition. l think
We could get up a monster petition" to
this effect, if necessary. Respectfully
yours. High School.
Savannah, Ga, Feb p. 1901.
Col G.. A. Mercer, president of the
Board of Education, and of the Georgia
Historical Society, was asked yesterday
what he thought of the proposition con-
tanned i'm the above card.
1T won't do" he said. for several
reasons. The first is that the money re-
oeived from this source is needed to car
~ on the High School, and is barely suf-
ficient for that purpose. Again under
the constitution governing pubic schools,
the Board OF Education is authorized to
provide for the children simply the ele-
mentary branches of an English educa-
ton. According to this constitution, we
would have no right to apply the moneys
appropriated us to the paying of the
teachers of Latin and of the sciences, AMI
so it is partly for the purposes of being
able to teach the present curriculum that
the tuition fee is charged.
Further discussing the affairs of the
Georgia Historical Society, Col. Mercer
said that what appeared to him to be
the best. if not the only solution. Of re-
iieving the financial need of the society
was to arrange a graduated membership
Offering more or less advantages accord
ing to the yearly dues. BY this he said
that he did not mean TO allow any one
member by the payment of more than
another to have any more power in the
way of voting or of holding office but
simply I'm material benefits, such as being
given permits for friends to use the read
ing room, for example; more tickets TO
the Telfair Art Academy, or possibly the
privilege of taking out an additional num-
Der OF books. 4 similar plan. ne SAID is
In use IN the Y. NJ. &. A. of this city
which allows a member certain privileges
according 10 the amount or money mat
he pays, and IL seems 70 be @ thoroughly
satisfactory plan.
There has also been discussed. he said
the advisabiity OF getting the ladies' in
tcre0tcd in the society to form an auA-
Hilary or committee Tor the purpose Of
setting In new members. This as wei
as other matters. will doubtless come IN
