Lucky Plymouth.

According to an evening paper (the
independently the salaries of all the
preachers are too low and are to be
raised at once about twenty-five per
cent. 1t is claimed that these over
worked ministers of the gospel are
poorly paid and poorly fed and clothed,
and that in order that they may
preach good strong sermons it is nee
essary that their salaries should be
raised without delay. Some of them
do not get over $500 per year, with
perquisites for marriages and funerals
added, and that, with a month or six
weeks vacation, the regulator says, is
not considered sufficient to enable the
pastor to live in accordance with his
high calling. 1t is well that we have
paper in our midst that, according
to its own statement, compels the old
fogy business men of Plymouth to
pave the streets. build cement side
walks, erect magnificent bank build
ing, Masonic Temple, X. of p.
Hall, and generally to exercise sup
ervision over the fiscal affairs of the
city as well as to fix the salaries of the
preachers and regulate the religious
and social doings Of the community.
1t is perfectly lovely that plymouth
has in its midst publication whose
magic influence is so great as
TO overshadow everything in the heav-
ems above and the earth beneath
Plymouth Democrat.
In administering richly deserved
rebuke to the arrogance of the paper
that issues orders from its tripod as a
car from his throne, the Democrat
makes another revelation of its own
implacable enmity for organized
churches and their clergy. The in
science of the one paper is quite evenly
matched by the intolerance of the
other.

which met in the Harrisburg
opera house yesterday to nomi-
nate Judge William P. Porter, of
Pittsburg, for supreme court

NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y, Aug.
23.-J. B. Cohen and LouisTurin,
who went in bathing in Echo
bay yesterday, had an embarras
sing experience. They went into
the water without bathing suits,
and while they were swimming
about two tramps came along
and stole their clothing, leaving
their own outfits behind. The
men, when they came out and
discovered the robbery, were so
angry that they tore up the grass
and threw sand in the air. The
stolen clothing contained their
watches and money, and that left
by the tramps were so tattered
and dirty that they could not
wear it. The men secured the
woods for the tramps, but failing
to find them, hired boy to go to
Cohen's store and bring them
some clothing. 1t took the boy
about three hours to make the
trip and in the meanwhileC Cohen
and Turin kept themselves SUBJ
merged in the water. 1t was
nearly midnight when they reach
ed New Rochelle and reported
their loss to the police.

THE COMPLACENT NMPLETON COR

The Plymouth Independent COM

edge upon the demise of the late
Muncie News and seeks to persuade
Plymouth advertisers that they are
duped in thinking that age and pres

News was the old paper atMuncie and
had the Heath influence behind it,-it
proceeds to say Of the Star, the rival

right along making money without
the county patronage, but, even up to
the finish of the News, there were
some merchants who could not be
convinced otherwise than that every
body WIS reading the News because it
was the old paper -
As matter of fact, the Star has
never made dollar of profit to this

loch, willingly admits, nor has the

cerned, purely as a business PROPOSE

The contest between the two pa
pers, and it was as bitter fight as
was ever waged in the field of Indiana
journalism, was a political contest
and business principles were wholly
disregardcd. The business manage
ment of the Star has been amazing
for its stupidity, and that of the
News scarcely less so, simply because
that department was of minor

One OF the most common statements
made in the letters grateful women
write to DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. ",
is this: 81 owe my life to DR.. Pierce"
These women have found themselves in
great danger. They have appealed
without avail to local physicians. They
have counseled in vain with women
advisers. The best that had been done
for them was just to keep them ahoat in
the sea of disease with strength visibly
failing, in the hope that the man who
had strength and skill to save them
might be found.
woMAN'S APPEAL ANSWERED.
Hundreds of thousands of women
have appealed to DR.. Pierce, for relief
from womanly ills and not one has ap-
!, pealed in vain. The use of DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription supplemented by
the medical advice of DR.. Pierce has
been the means of cure to this vast army
of women suffering from diseases pecul-
lar to the sex.

ceived from using your remedies"

One day an old neighbor lady came in

Pierce's Favorite Prescription. She
said she knew it would help me, as it
had saved her life. When the doctors
had given her up and said they could
do nothing for her she said she began to
take DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
and it cured her. So 1 got bottle of
the Favorite Prescription and one of
Golden Medical Discovery and began
taking them. Before had taken one

recently, when he learned through
the pension bureau that he was alive.
Edmund Appleton, now "a years of
age, was blacksmith at LOgansport,
and had set out for Illinois to hunt
work just before the firing on Fort
Sumter. He enlisted in company NJ,
Fourteenth Illinois cavalry, but did
not write back to his family, owing to
the stress of the times. The mother
and eight children, the eldest Is years
of age, led a tumble life, and finally,
after the mother died, the children
were sent to her people near Dayton,
Ohio, and were gradually scattered.
A man who returned from the war
told them of their fathers enlistment,
adding the information that he had
been killed in battle This the chill
dren ever after believed.
Recently, while visiting a sister,
Mrs. Frances Hickman, at Rensselaer,,
the Rev. Mr.. Appleton suggested to
to her that they write to
the pension department to attempt to
learn where their father was buried.
The department answered by denying
that he was dead, and giving his adj
dress as LOcksburg, Ark. Mr.. Apple
ton was doubtful, as he had been so
thoroughly convinced of his fathers
death, but finally he and the sister
wrote to him, with the result that
letter was received today. The old
gentleman S letter begins, "Now, Lew
is, doubt no more.'' The quoted
words left no further doubt, as the
Rev. Mr.. Appleton recognized it as q
characteristic way in which his father
addressed him as a boy.
The father promised to come to Ind
lana to visit his surviving children in
a few months. Other children are
Mrs. Josephine Medlam of Ohio,
Mrs. Cecilia Vets of Columbus, Ohio
and Elvira Appleton, whose where
abOutS are unknown to the family.
The father married after endeavoring
i'm vain TO locate his children. The
second wife died four years ago, and
he is now living with daughter by
the second marriage.

The Woman in Peril Rarely Finds
Help From Her Own Sex.

1t Is in no wise to woman's discredit
that she is not professional life-saver.
We can only fancy her in the fireman's
helmet, in the crew of the life-boat, or
welding a policeman's club, at the loss
of some of that hneness which is the
distinguishing quality of her sex. The
Molly Pitchers and Grace Darlings are
only examples of the sublime self-for-

THREATS
French Ambassador Says he will
Leave Turkey
Brief Time Allowed the Sultan to
Get Down to Business in Dis
Dute With France.

PARIS, Aug. 24.-The foreign
Office has received a telegram
from M. Constans, the French
ambassador to Turkey, to the
effect that he has sent az
ultimatum to the sultan that he
will leave Constantinople at a
given date unless satisfaction is
accorded for the French griev-
ances. The given date is not
stated.
The opinion prevails here that
the affair is being mismanaged
Either the sultan is proving
more obstinate than was expect
ed or else the governments
reticence in giving out informa-
ton IS inexplicable.
While officials of the French
foreign Office decline to confirm
or deny the dispatch from Con-
stantinople announcing that the
French ambassador has sent
the sultan a. letter which is in the
nature of an ultimatum, they
admit having received tele-
gram from M. Constans, which
has been laid before the council
now sitting at the Elysee palace
Only three ministers we're not
present. The premier, M. Wal
deck Rousseau; the minister of
agriculture, NJ. Dupuy, and the
minister of public works, M.
Baudin, are absent from Paris.
M. ConStanS has been given a
free hand. Any step he finds
proper to take will be full in
dorsed. The foreign minister,
M. Delcasse, if he deems it nee
essary, will withdraw the French
embassy from Constantinople,
and Munir Bey, the Turkish
ambassador, who is now in Swift
erland, will be notified not to
return to Paris, in which case
Munir Bey will probably with
draw the legation to Berne, AS
he is also accredited as minister
to Switzerland.
No naval demonstration is yet
contemplated, but the sultan will
probably be seriously incon-
venienced by the closure of the
Turkish embassy here, which is
the center of the espionage main
tanned to watch the numerous
young Turks and other disaffect-
ed Ottoman subjects and volun-
tary exiles who make their head
quarters in Paris, and who will
have a free hand of diplomatic
relations between France and
Turkey are completely broken
off.
1t has been suggested that the
French government issue orders
for the bourse to cease dealing
in Turkish securities, but it is
not likely that this step will be
taken, as it would only injure
the French bondholders. The
entire Turkish group fell on the
bourse today, in some cases 60
ing down 10 to IL francs.
According to special dispatch
received here from Berne, Munir
Bey has already leased a villa
there for the use of the Turkish
embassy.
