The Mean .Spirn Of DR.. Pork-

We have seen nothing recently that
equals in bad taste, in irreverence and
in shocking insensibility the comment
which is ascribed to the Rev. Charles
H. Parkhurst of New York on the po-
litical effects of the Buffalo tragedy
DR.. Parkhurst. it should be explained

the president because the latter. re-
fused TO come to him as the fount OF
wisdom and discussion when he ac-
cepted Platt's support for the govern
orship. He now says. having the last
presidential election in mind:
cone funny thing-one immensely
funny thing-is the fact that Platt pro-
posed to shelve Roosevelt. But it
seems that even divine providence is
a match for Plat
The conjunction of Immensely
funny" with the reading of divine
providence into a murder is revolving
to every sense of reverence and de-
cency.
The divine aiiliction has been felt
most deeply by the president and by
all Americans worthy the name,
though apparently it has only stirred
the venom OF Parkhurst. He is so pos
sessed by the small spirit of vinSictive-
ness that he has no time to realize n
national sorrow, but must hurry on to
vent his spleen and parade again mis-
wounded vanity. 1t is pity that he
did not remain in Europe.-RecoTd-

American Locomofivsr ii
Europe.


The British consul at Bilboa. Spain.
has notified his government that sew
sral large orders for railway locomo-
tives have been refused to English
firms and given to American builders
because of the quick delivery and low
sr price offered on this side of the At
lantic He admits that the American
locomotives are better than the Brit
lsh for Spanish railroads. Some time
ago the Midland railway OF England
made trial of several American loco
motives and reported that they were
e2,400 cheaper in first cost. and were
satisfactory in power, but they used
from 20 to 25 per cent more coal than
those Of English make. The trouble is
| that the British freight cars carry only
4 fraction of the cargo which American
| engines are intended to haul, making
rates extremely high and wasting most
of the power of our large locomotives.
Railway men all over Europe are grad
lally discovering that American en-
gines are the best and most econom-
cal wherever large cars are used. Con-
sui General Mason of Berlin reports
that the American locomotives with
which the Bavarian government is ex-
oerimenting are giving excellent salts
faction. The same is true of those in
use by the Prussian government. Mr..
Mason says the Germans have just
learned the secret of the value of large
cars drawn by heavy locomotives, and
he predicts that the German builders
soon Will be turning out engines on
the American model He sees little
opportunity to sell our locomotives ex-
tensively either In Germany, France.
Or England, because these countries
have facilities for making their own.
| The best field is in Russia, Turkey, and
the Balkan States. All the European
nations are gradually being compelled
to admit the superiority of the Ameri-
can engine, however. and no manufac-
turer on that side of the water can
compete with Americans in the quick
ness with which contract can be
| filled.

HERE'S A NAY FEVER CURE.
u Consists In Keeping the windows Closed
In the Hal Fever season.

ST.. PAUL, Aug B.-Hay fever victims
have noticed a popularity Of this season
which seems to confirm the theory that the
disease il produced by the pollen 81 rag
weed. golden rod and other similar plants.
Wherever drought has prevailed to an ex-
tent sufficient TO destroy these weeds he
fore they cached maturity, hay fever has
not Ia lie appearance.
Hundreds Of victims Of the maiady who
live In South Dakota. Iowa, Missouri and
Kansas visit Northern Minnesota and Wis
consin resorts annually. and generally
AVE their quarters engaged a long time
in advance. While a great many sufferers
have already come north from other States
the annual pilgrimage from The States
named has not vet set In. Letters have
been received saying the hay fever people
In those States were waiting Tor The APP
pearance Of their enemy. but that II IL a
month overdue.
Physicians hero have wondered why
their hay fever patients have not sought
their aid, as they have done for years, be-
tween July Is and Aug. 10, and have been
surprised 20 learn that no treatment has
been needed 10y them thus far A St Paul
physician who has treated annually for
several years from twenty to hfty such
patients, said to-day that not a single cass
had come to his notice this year. though
last season they began to come as carly as
july 10.
In this region the weather has been very
dry this season, though II canot he said
TO he within the drought district. The
absence OF hay fever here IL attributed
to the drought Of the Southwest which de
stroyed the disease producing vegetation.
on the theory hat hay fever IL produced
by rag weed pollen a st. Paul man, who
contracted hay fever in southern Mime
Gotta, undertook To cure himself by exclud-
ing the cause. Beginning In the early
spring he tightly closed the windows OF
his bed room every afternoon at 5 O'Clock.
BY beginning when the weather was cool
he gradually became accustomed to the
closed room and endured II throughout
the year. The first season only n slight
touch of the disease appeared, and this
he attributed To hunting trips. The fol-
lowing season the same procedure Was
kept up, hut there was no recurrence 81
hay fever. After continuing through an
other season the windows were opened
except between July Is and sept. rs. This
was five years ago and there has been no
return 81 the malAdy,
A severe case Of asthma was treated
the same way with succcss. A physician
say. he has no doubt this treatment will
furnish relief II not effect a cure where
the patients ara not Of too nervous a tenn
permanent. and he adds that he has never
seen a victim 90 hay fewer or asthma Who
vas not extremely nervous, often needing
treatment for the nerves morc d for
the fever.
