Pressure from the Church.

So the Russian church authorities. who
have power to divorce, and who suspect
that the czarina's enforced conversion TO
their so-called orthodox religion was not
sincere, are said to be pressing the auto
crat Of all the Russians to put her
away
The czarina's lot is made still I'M
happier by numerous courtiers whose
enmity she has aroused. Being the daugh-
ter of Queen Victoria's favorite daughter.
Alice, she has inherited or acquired a
good many of her grandmother's ideas
about propriety and reform. Soon after the
lovely and widely popular Princess Alix
Of Hesse became Czarina Alexandria
Feodorovna she saw a court lady smoking
in the palace and remarked loud enough
for the offender to hear that she regarded
a cigarette in a woman's mouth as
offensive as an oath in a maR's. She for
babe any lady of the court to smoke in
her presence, although her own sister,
Grand Duchess Serge, smokes like a loco
motive. She further forbade any woman
even to go near her with the smell of to-
bacco on her garments.
The Russian women began spitefully to
call her the German" and the English
woman"-for In tastes and habits she is
more English than German, and the men
soon echoed the epithets.
Moreover, many once high ~ofHcials have
their grievances, That longtime imposing
court figure, Prince Sandy" Dolgorouki,
was turned out of the position OF grand
master of ceremonies by the czarina be-
cause she regarded his airs and those Of
his peculiar wife as insufferable. The
czarina ~peremptorily dismissed Baron
Frederick, an old minister OF the court, for
disobeying her order not to telegraph any
thing when the car was sick two years
ago without first letting her see 1t. The
baron had answered an anxious message
OF inquiry from the cars mother. Numer-
Gus other dignitaries trace their downfall
to the ~czarina, and it is even whispered
that the late Count Muravien, formerly
foreign minister, complained because she
blocked a plan he had laid to rob England,
when embarrassed, of Of the Red
sea. 1t can easily be surmised, therefore,
that the czarina is the object Of the re-
venge OF powerful personages, and that
their i%ntrigues alone would make her life
miserable

Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey not only
drives out consumption germs and heals
the lungs, but it builds up new tissue and
renovates the entire system. 1t aids
digestion, stimulates and enriches the
blood, tohes up the heart, invigorates and
builds up the body so that it will throw
off all diseases. AT the Medical Convention
in Albany one Of the leading doctors said
he would rather nave Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey to cure catarrh,
asthma and diseases of the throat and
lungs than all the quack medicines in the
world and the doctors present agreed with
him unanimously. Duffy's Pure Malt
Whisky is good for old and young. 1t
has carried the blessing of health to hun
dreds of thousands of poor sufferers.
Man. have tried to initiate 1t and unre-
liable dealers have been known to try to
sell their customers some cheap substi-
tute because there was more profit in the
substitute. So we caution our patients to
be careful and see that 'Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey" is on the label and that 1t Is
our own patent bottle, with the name
blown in the bottle. This is the only
way Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey is sold.
II offered In bulk or in TASKS It is a fraud.
The genuine at all druggists or grocers
or direct, $1.W a bottle. 1t is the only
whiskey recognized by the government as
a medicine. This is a guarantee.

symptoms and treatment of each disease

THE ATcHIsoN (Kan.) Globe the other day
referred to the wasteful extravaganza of the
farmers around that city as follows: ''At the
junk yard on Main street dozen or more car
loads of old iron are received every week, and
nine tenths of the iron consists of farming i'm
plements ruined by rust. Many of the i'm
plements look as if they could be saved from
the junk pile by blacksmith. The farmers
thought differently, however and bought new
ones" An agent for western manufacturing
firm said lately that harvesting machinery
lasted in this country about four years longer
than in the West, which could be attributed
largely to the fact that we house our farm i'm
plements when not in use. Still, when one
travels over this well-shedded and farmed
country, he notices a vast amount of careless
ness about the care of tools and implements
You will often see scythe hanging on tree
and mower or reaper under it long after the
harvest is over, and perhaps to remain there
all winter. The farm engine has tough time
of it and also the circular saw. The axe rusts
on the out-of.doors wood pile, while shovels,
digging irons, mattocks and so on lie by the
fence where last used. Carelessness is not
quite so bad as formerly, but why should
there be any?"A penny saved is a penny
gained" and "willful waste makes woeful
want" 1t never pays to let any farm imple-
ment court the rust from rain or bleaching
of its paint from sunshine.

ONE OF the most violent storms ever expert
enced in Baltimore passed over some sections
of the city little after o'clock last Sunday
afternoon and caused damage estimated at
$250,000. Not less than four hundred houses
and other buildings were unroofed and other
wise damaged, and several large churches
were so badly shaken that there was danger OF
their falling. ManyItrees were either broken
off or uprooted. The saddest result Of this
visitation was the drowning Of twelve persons
whose homes were in Baltimore and who were
seeking pleasure either sailing or bathing
For the space Of a few minutes the wind blew
at the extraordinary rate Of sixty-four miles
an hour. Had this condition Of Affairs con-
tinued thirty minutes millions Of dollars Of
damage must have resulted. The storm came
up from the southwest and was accompanied
By the most vivid flashes Of lightning and deaf
ening peals Of thunder

THE UNEXPECTED happens rapidly in the
highest court circles as well as elsewhere. In
stead of witnessing one of the greatest royal
spectacles in history the British public is read
ing medical bulletins from King Edward and
Colonial Secretary Chamberlain, both Of
whom are now confined by sickness. At the
same time Lord Salisbury, three times premier,
retires by resignation from bis high office and
his nephew. A. J. Balfour, is his successor. If
Mr.. Chamberlain had ambitions in that direc-
ton he was disabled at the critical moment
Sir Michael Hicks-B Beach, at the head of the
British financial department, has also re-
signed, and some of his steps leading toward a
restoration ofprotective taxes may be modified.
Sickness seems to legislate as well as war. If
King Edward were in good health, and if Mr..
Chamberlain had not met with an accident,
some of these rapid changes might not have
come to pass

county (Pa) finances have been made, the bills
of nearly eighty assessors having been raised
800 each after payment had been made. Our
Democratic brethren are wont to say and al
ways believe that Republican officials only
steal. Human nature is the same under any
disguise. Honesty does not depend upon a
name, but resides in the individual. Neither
party in itself has anything exclusively to do
with making integrity. Man makes himself
first and then joins that organization which
he thinks best carries out his convictions and
ideals

THE DEMOCRATIC Executive Committee of
Carroll county met at Westminster on Monday
last for the purpose of fixing dates for the
Congressional primaries. A letter from West
minister says The members generally favor
ed an early date for the county convention,
which it was decided should be held on Mon
day, August 4th, and primaries to be held
on the preceding Saturday, August I'd. This
was the only business transacted. The men,
bers were generally canvassed as to their pref
erence for a Congressional candidate and the
sentiment was, without exception. favorable
to Charles E. Fink, of this city. There is no
doubt that the county will send a delegation
to Havre-de-Grace to vote for him and that
without any opposition from any quarter in
the county,"

AN Iowa man named Abraham Simmer
wants to give away his fortune of S10,000,000.
He is quoted as saying: "My possessions are a
trust fund. 1 accumulated them from the
masses, and back to the masses they shall 60,
but find it is far harder task to give away
money than it was for me to earn it." 1t is
suggested that men like Mr.. Simmer and Mr..
Carnegie may have to form trust for the
purpose of facilitating the distribution of their
wealth. The only general plan to follow is to
SO distribute wealth that it will not increase
the dependent spirit, but to give the means by
which men can be educated to seize oppor-
tunity and learn to paddle their own canoe"

RETURNING FROM trip through New Eng
land few days ago Secretary of the Treasury
Shaw said, while discussing the political sit
uation, that he did not think there was any
doubt about the nomination of President
Roosevelt in 1904. This appears to be the gen.
eral feeling of the members of the Cabinet and
it is doubtful, when the time comes, if there
will be any opposition to Mr.. Roosevelt.

A CENSUS bulletin just issued gives the con-
dition of agriculture in the United States for
the year 1900. It shows that there were at
that time 5, 739 657 farms in the entire country,
which were valued at S16,674, 694, 247. Of this
amount SO, 800, 1913, 191, or over 81 per cent,
represented the value of buildings, and s13,-
ia, 492,056, or over rs per cent, represented
the value of lands and Improvements other
than buildings. The value Of farm imple-
ments and machinery was 1851 PSI $50 and
of live stock s3O7s, O50,O4. These values,
added to the value of the farms, gives a total
value of farm property amounting to $2O,514,-
001, 1888. These are large figures and hard to
take in, but they show in what magnificent
country we live.

Wednesday resigned the marshalship without
assigning any cause for his action.
