The Services.
The services in the church were sim

of an organ prelude, Beethoven's fu-

prelude were stilled, the Euterpean

BECOME Blind at Nirht.

A st. Petersburg dispatch relative
to night blindness in south Russia
says: "This is one of the queerest
diseases known to medical science,
and is one of the camp followers of
the famine" Night blindness, how
ever, is no new disease. It has al
ways been more or less common in
armies where men have been forced
to sleep without cover. The cause is
usually referred to the moon and the
sufferer is said to be moonstruck, al
though it has been supposed that the
glare of the sunlight upon sand
beaches is sometimes the cause of it.
AS is said of the disease in Russia,
the sufferer can see nothing after
twilight, even though the moon is at
full and the sky clear, but it is some
what remarkable that he can see by
candlelight. It is not unlikely that
the Russian night blindness is direct
~ traceable to exposure in the open
air and that it is only indirectly due
to the famine.-London Mail.

WHAT THEY WANT IT FOR.
Funny storie. Told by Hobos In Drus
stores When saloons Are
Closed.


three days. growth of beard, and with
a breath that indicated the close prox-
unity of distillery, wandered into q
downtown drug store the other morn
ing about one o'clock, relates the
Washington Star. The saloons had
closed. Staggering up to the drug
clerk, he leaned over the counter and
remarked, huskily:
"Say, Willie, just fill that up with
alcohol. Ten cents worth. Sec?"
The ragged man produced q whisky
flask, and, passing dime over to the
clerk, settled in q nearby chair with .
grunt of contentment.
"Alcohol, eh?" answered the clerk.
"What do you want it for? We're not
selling rum in, this place."
The ragged individual arose, and, go.
ing over to the clerk, observed, in what
was intended to be highly injured
tone of voice:
"Now, youse don't get gay wit me.
Rum? Who said anything about rum ?
That juice is goin' to me chafin' dish
around the block. I'm goin' to cook
me supper. See? So chase along,
me lad. and produce the goods
The clerk smiled, but nevertheless
filed the order.
"That's the practice of those fellows
pretty generally" he said, after the
bum had departed. "He has just made
hot touch, and, being unable to get
into saloon, is going to drink the real
stuff. We have ten or fifteen. orders for
alcohol from his class every night. On
Sunday, if we chose to sell it, we could
do rushing business in that line.
The sable-colored boptbiacks in this
vicinity drink it almost entirely. Ten
cents worth in half-pint flask, mixed
with little pump water, some sugar
and lemon juice, makes enough Of q
certain kind Of gin to produce the
much-craved-for sensation. They tell
me all sorts of stories when Task them
to what use they want to put the poi

the other night for dimes worth.

ically, seeing that he was nine-tenths

CRYING FOR REFORM.
| Republicans Beginning to Realize
the Necessity of Doing Some
| thing for the People.

The republicans are in great fear
of coming storm; they feel they are
losing the confidence of the honest
people. Hanna and the men who
have control of the party machine
are great buffers and ruthlessly
override any that raise even a faint
cry for reformation. The enormous
patronage at their bestowal has so
far been able to stay revolts in all
quarters, but the stopping of the
mouth of politician does not satisfy
the people who are paying the fiddler,
but who are not allowed to name the
tune to which the dance is set. Re-
publican editors all over the country
are urging reform. They are in touch
with the people and know their I'M
rest. Independent newspapers are
more outspoken and see the coming
storm. The Indianapolis News, for
instance, says: "Repu b1icans them
selves are beginning to see the neces-
sity of doing something to set things
to rights. So we have republican
protests against the ship subsidy, re-
publican demands for the lowering
of our tariff duties, republican de-
nunciation of the corruption in Penn
sylvanla and Maryland and republic
an arguments in favor of still fur
ther strengthening the gold standard.
A member of the presidents cabinet
has declared Himself against the rob-
bers in Pennsylvania. It will be well
for the men in authority if they read
the danger. signals"
This cry will not be needed BY
Hanna and the machine that controls
congress. They are intent on ship
subsidy steals and legislation of SIM
liar atrocity. The small honest ele-
ment of the republican party in con-
gress will be put down with a high
hand and their efforts to legis1ate
against the trusts will be laughed at.
This is the democratic opportunity
ana they will show their hands by
giving the few honest republicans aid
to reform the corruption that rules
the party in power. There will not
be enough of them to legislate in the
coming congress, but the democrats
will give them a chance to stand up
and be counted and then appeal to
the country for new deal in 1902.

Luxurx i'm Colleges.

President Harper, of the University
of Chicago, shows little disposition to
worry over the increase of luxury
among college students. He admits
that students spend much more to-
day than they did 40 years ago, but
he says this is because the whole ma
ton has more to spend. Another rea-
son is that college communities are
not so largely made up of students
for the ministry as in the past. DR.:
Harper says it must be remembered,
too, that five boys go to college where
one used to go.

Testimony from spaninrd..

Cspt. Eulate, of the Vizcaya, does
not think any of the maneuvers of the
Brooklyn during the battle of Santa
go, the famous loop made by that
ship included, evidenced any coward
ice on the part of it's commander. In
his opinion the making of the loop
was propsr under the circumstances,
for the TessNsa was trying to ram the
brooklyn and the Vizcaya was sail
ing towards it. Admiral Cervera saws
the battle of Santiago was so short
and decisive that cowardice is hard

The Journal of the American Meoi-

there is surplus of doctors in the
United States, and regrets that the
surplus is increasing. There is now
one doctor to every 600 of popula-

unhealthy country, one physician
ought to be able to look after the
aches and pains of 1000 ordinary peo-
pie. According to the Journal 1000
doctors die yearly. in spite of their
skill. The medical colleges are turning

CRYING Needs OF Manila.
