may be hidden by the aid and art Of fashion But
there is art hide the blemishes which mark and

they often aggravate the disease after time and

one thing which will cleanse the skin and brighten
the complexion is pure blood, and this means that
the blood must be cleansed from the corrupting
causes of disease. This blood cleansing and purify

CONDEMN SUBSIDY AND TRUSTS.
Changers Also Denounce Secretary Of Agri.
culture Department Needs an 0verhauIing.

Past Master Leonard Rhone was
on Thursday invested with the jewel
and badge by the Ceres of the State
Grange in recognition of his service to
the Grange of Pennsylvania during
eighteen years of service at the head
of the order.
The report of the grand legislative
committee, composed of Master Hill,
Hampton w. Rice, Leonard Rhone,
Louis Piollet and William T. Greasy,
was the most important document
that had been presented at this ses-
sion of the State Grange. The report
condemns ship subsidy and trusts, and
the proposed appropriation of millions
for the irrigation of land spectators
in the West, declaring the latter is a
scheme in the interests of land specu-
lators and to the detrment of Eastern
farmers. The secretary OF agriculture
is roundly denounced because of his
opposition to legislation proposed by
the Pure Butter Protective associa-
ton and the legislative committee of
the Grange, and it is declared that
the agricultural department needs a
thorough overhauling, practical farm
ers of intelligence being flvored for
the Offices in that department. The
report condemns the state officials for
not providing for display of agricult-
ural products at the Buffalo and
Charleston expositions. The com.
mittee gives the Grange credit fol
securing the increase in school ap-
preparation from $5,ooo,ooo to $II,-
100000.
G.. G.. Hutchinson, of Huntingdon
county, chief clerk in the pure food
department, objected to that part Of
the report scoring the secretary o.
agriculture, on the ground that it was
personal, and said the pure food com
missioner was doing the best he
could to secure convictions for viola
tions of the law, but was handicapped
bv the tardy machinery of the courts
Mr.. Hutchison said that from Janu-
ary I, 1900, to July I. 1901, the de
partment brought 1851 prosecutions
There was very animated discus
sion as to whether the dair. and fooo
commissioner was doing his duty, anC
whether he was fit man for the place
Mr.. Hutchison offered an amend
ment to the committees report, strlk
ing out all personalities, which, afte
some more discussion, was defeated
and the committees report was &C
cepted.

The Prize Money.
cepted.

We are indebted to the Washing
ton Post for the complete figures of
the bounty money in the Santiago
and Manila campaigns. AS much mis-
statement has been made, it will be
we'll to give the leading facts here.
Rear Admiral William T. Sampson
has drawn from the government in
prize money $s5,797.44, and he ex-
poets about $1c,ooo more when the
Maria Teresa case is settled. Rear
Admiral Schley has drawn $I4o.53,
and has been allowed $3,334, which
is yet to be paid.
Captain F. E. Chadwick, who was
with Sampson, has drawn $I4,oa6. oS,
and has yet coming to him $4,32I.5o,
in addition TO what he expects from
the Maria Teresa. Captain Cook, of
the Brooklyn, and Captain Clark, of
the Oregon, who were in the fight
throughout, have yet received moth
ing but Cook will get $2,1oo.32 and
Clark $I,o89 o6. Commander Vain.
wright, one of the real heroes Of the
war, will receive only $435 6S. Rear
Admiral Watson gets only $I835.
Admiral Dewey for his work al
Manila has received in bounty
$o,57o, about one third as much a:
Sampson and about half as much az
Chadwick, who was not only not II
the fight at Santiago, but who him
self testified that he kept back an ex
preston of congratulation to Schley.
So here we have Schley, the maj
who fought and won the battle, allot
ted less than one seventh as much a
has been paid to Sampson and les
than one fifth as much as the sum a
lotted to Chadwick.
1t these figures were not olficis
they would seem impossible. Con
ment is superhuous. They constitut

cord of this government.--Philade

rived in Cincinnati on Monday, ac-
companied by Mrs. Miles. They are
guests of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Wlborg
at Clifton. Mrs. Wilborg being rela-
tive of Mrs. Miles. In speaking OF
the finding Of the Schley Court OF
Inquiry General Miles said:
~ am willing to take the judgment
of Admiral Dewey in the matter. He
has been a commander of fleet and
as such has known the anxieties and
responsibilities which rest on a man
under these circumstances. He was
instrumental in the destruction of one
Spanish fleet and knows and realize:
the feelings that encompass an officer
under such conditions. / think Dewey
has summed up the matter IN a cleal
and concise manner, and l believe
his conclusions will be indorsed BY
the patriotic people of the Unitet
States. I have no sympathy with tn,
efforts which have been made to des
troy the honor of an officer under
such circumstances"

sohley Uase to go Before Congress.
His Friends will Have Resolutions Intro
duced Thanking Him for Services
and Promoting Him.

The Maryland friends in congress
OF Rear Admiral Schley have deter
mined to bring his case to the atten-
ton of congress and seek there the
vindication they claim is due him.
This action was determined upon at
a dinner gwen by General Felix An
gus and attended by Senator Nc
Comas, the Maryland members of the
house and few other friends.
A resolution will be prepared ex-
tending to the admiral the thanks of
congress for his services in the battle
of Santiago and comforting on him the
rank, pay and emoluments of rear
admiral on the active list Of the navy.
A preamble to the resolution will re-
cite Admiral Dewey's conclusions OF
the court of inquiry, giving Admiral
Schley the credit for the victory of the
battle of Santiago.
Senator McComas will introduce
the resolution in the senate and prob
ably Mr.. Mudd a similar one in the
house. If deemed expedent an effort
will be made to give Admiral Schley
the rank of vice admiral. The reso
lutions will be prepared promptly and
introduced In both houses and an at
tempt will be made to have early
action on them.
M. A. league, one of Admiral
Schley's counsel before the court of In.
quiry, and who also was guest a,
the dinner, said that the admiral
would not seek a retrial OF the case
under any circumstances. His de
sire and that of his friends was 10 be
relieved of the censure imposed upor
him by the report of the majority o
the court of inquiry, nor, he added
would there be any suit instituted
having in view the obtaining of none,
for libellous publications affecting
him.

The Prevalence of Smallpox.


Smallpox is prevalent in every
large city of the United States to-
day, and it is extremely doubtful
if there has for the past century
been such a widespread prevalence
of this loathsome disease. The
European cities have been full OF
the disease for many months and
ships arriving at home and foreign
ports have it among their crews.
A prominent physician, discussing
the matter recently said that the
trouble was primarily due to the
efficiency of vaccination. 1t had
so subdued the disease that the
public had fallen into a sense Of
security that bred indifference and
had largely neglected the precau-
tions which safety demands. There
will have to be new and univer-
sal starting up of vaccination to get
the disease under again. During
the long period of neglect the pub
lie have lost the keen sense of the
danger and of the need of preven-
ton, and it will take thorough
scare such as is now probable to
bring them round. Meanwhile
Just at this juncture, the anti vac
cinationists are trying to interfere
and prevent the precautions that
long experience has shown to be
essential to the public safety.
| Again there has lately been re-
action against vaccination and the
use of anti-toxin OH account OF a
? few cases of tetanus, or lockjaw,
especially in Camden, New Jersey.
; OF course, accidents may happen in
producing the virus against disease,
, but Investigations show that the
locsjaw cases have come from other
causes than vaccine matter or anti
5 toxin serum. There may be truth
in the assertion that as the tetanus
microbe is dirt product, it got into
: the air during the long dry spell
and found its way into any break
in the skin. One thing is sure-a
hundred years of vaccination has
: conquered a dread disease, and al
t wise people at the present time vii
. bare their arms for the familiar pre-
4 vention of a fearful plague. -Ef.

Christmas Rush at the Postoffice.
How 10 Avoid Delays and Possible Delivery
to the Dead Letter Office OF
Christmas Mail.

With the approach of Christmas
the postal service is very apt to be
unthought of, except as mere means
of transmitting material tokens OF
good will. This thoughtlessness often
causes inconvenience and discomfort
and frequently is the indirect cause of
many presents arriving several days
late.
About Christmastide each year the
mail increases to wonderful extent,
a great part of the increase consisting
of packages of all sizes, description
and weight, from the tiny parcel con-
tanning thlmble to the big bundle
just within the postal regulations. In
the hurry attending this package post.
ing the address is frequently written
almost illegibly, and many package
rests serenely in the Dead Letter OF
fee at Washington, while the sender
wonders at Its non-arrival and is in
clined to place the blame upon the
postal authorities. AS frequently the
bundles are tied insecurely and in the
none too gentle handling of tons ant
tons of mail matter the fastening
breaks and renders the contents liable
to damage.
Sometimes the address is writer
upon the wrapper, flimsy paper
covering, and coming IN contact witt
heavier matter pare of the direction
are torn away. In cases like thl
much ingenuity is displayed by thu
postal agents in fixing the package
for remailing. When the wrapper /
noticeably torn or mutiliated a searcI
of the mail bag often discloses tn,
missing portion, which is skillfull
placed in its original position and tn,
package sent to its final destination
Ip most of the large cities larg
number of packages accumulate to
wards Christmas which cannot be de
lvereI because of the instructions
A number of clerks are kept bus
sorting the parcels and endeavorin
to have them reach their destinatio
before the last delivery on Christmas
The safe guard of registering ma
o absolutely prevents packages froi
going astray, especially during til
work and confusion incident to III
