Two editors quarreled, and one re-
ferred to the others early career in his
paper.
"As for our contemporary" he wrote,
''what can we expect from man who
was five years ago hawking from door

His rival did not deny it, but in his
next issue appeared the following:
"Our contemporary says that five
years ago we were hawking from door

We were so occupied. But we are sur

WAYFARER'S NOTEBOOK
A Friends a Friend

The Wayfarer sometime since had oc-
oasion to take a train for a lower Della
ware point, and while the telegraph
poles whizzed by he was edited by the
ollowing conversation between two
'culled genman:"
Il certinly is glad to see you agin,
Rastus; | certinly is. Do you know
the last time / seed you?"
NO; Abe, | don't recullect."
1T was bout de time they said you

No. / can't say that / did"
We'll. OF course it don't make no diff

How to Care for Sunstroke Cases


For the benefit Of those persons who
may be called upon to attend to cases
OF sunstroke until the arrival of a
physician, the Wayfarer gives the fol-
lowing Instructions:
Sunstroke is more apt to occur on
the second. third or fourth day of a
heated term than on the first. Loss Of
sleep worry, excitement, close sleeping
rooms, debility, abuse of stimulants,
predispOse to it. 1t is more apt to at
tack those working in the sun, and es-
pecially between the hours of IL o'clock
in the morning and o'clock in the af-
.ternoon. On hot days wear thin cloth
ing. Have as cool sleeping rooms as
possible Avoid loss Of sleep and all
unnecessary fatigue. Do not check
.perspiration, but drink what water you
need to keep it up as perspiration pre-
vents the body from being overheated.
Have, whenever possible, an additional
Shade. as a thin umbrella when walk
ing.
Anyone overcome by the heat should
be Immediately removed TO the nearest
shade and the collar of shirt or dress
should be ioosened. Send Immediately
fCr the nearest physician, and give the
person cool drinks of water. black tea
or coffee. If able to swallow.
If the skin is hot and dry, place the
person in a sitting position against a
tree, wall, or anything that will be a
support TO the back; sponge with or
pour cold water over the body and
limbs. and apply to the head pounded
ice wrapped in a towel or other cloth.
If there is no ice at hand. keep a cold
cloth on the head and pour cold water
on it as well as on the body.

Now York Herald

r ANiA AiAN WV lOlh IANldAus
Gold bars to the value OF a million
dollars were bought az the Sub-Treas-
un'y yesterday for shipment to Europe
this morning.
Although the foreign exchanges for
some time have been vibrating round
figures which would justify exports Of
the precious metal, the news took Wall
street by surprise and caused stocks to
close with smart recession in prices.
A fortnight ago two millions
.of gold was engaged for export.
but a favorable turn in the exchanges
caused the shipment 10 be abandoned.
Borrowers here We're willing to pay
rates of interest so much higher than
could be obtained abroad that foreign
lcreditors found It profitable TO leave
their balances in New York.
More recently, however, money has
been easier here and in better demand
iabroad. and this mornings shipment
lexcites inquiry as to whether it is tn,
beginning of a considerable effux.

lie treasury, and th@e is a suspicion
that an adherence to this idea was re-
sponsible for the defeat Of the measure.
These unreasonable delays have been
Experienced elsewhere. but generally
public opinion has been sufficient to
overcome them. We know that when
on one occasion this company
wanted a certain privilege in Delaware.
It became necessary for a representa-
tive of the company to state that not
one peRny would be paid TO influence
action; and this seems TO be the pol
Icy Of the company. Frequently trans
portation companies are charged with
owning Legislatures and municipal
governing bodies; but it must not be
forgotten that the suggestion of owner
ship frequently comes from these ser
wants of the people.
There are indications that the Penn
sylvanfa Company will allow New
York city to wait until she can select
aldermen more responsive to the city's
interests. Meanwhile there will be
general regret on the part OF those who
have occasion to enter the great me
trOpons from the West and South that
the enterprise has been halted by either
stupidity or venality. The company
bought all the property it required and
offered a proper sum for closing one
small street It was to cut at its own
expense a tunnel under the bed Of the
river. but the aldermen appear to think
that a further bleeding is required.

gated the following executive order
to General Miles in Washington:
You will proceed about Sept. Is, to
the Philippines, to inspect the army
there in reference to instruction,
discipline and supplies" The order
is signed by the president, and is
generally commented upon as being
designed to relieve the administra
ton of Miles presence in Washing

The Wisconsin supreme court has
decided that dealer who is caught
between favored trusts and combina-
tiOns formed to mOnopOlize trade
and drive him from his legitimate
business can recover civil damages
against the cOnspirators. The decis-
ion was made in the case of a coal
dealer who was outside of a combi-
nation of operators and wholesalers
and whose business was practically
destroyed through the persistence of
the alliance. The decision appears
to be another link in the chain which
may yet be forged to control the
trusts

A Severe Test.

Generals Botha. DeWet and De-
larey came through the fire of war as
does refined gold. The luster of their
services, the purity of their motives
and the lofty integrity of their char
acters have given the world new eX-
amples of virtue, patriotism and
courage.
Now they must face a severe test,
and it is limited that already jeal-
ousies have arisen between some of
the generals and the civilian repre-
sentatives of the Transvaal and the
agents of the Beers stationed in Eu-
rope during the war. 1t is also hint
ed that between Generals BOtha and
DeWet there are likely to be differ
ences arising out of the questions as
to scope of authority, future handl-
ing of finances and the like.
1t is sincerely to be hoped that
these stories are without foundation
and that these men who have merit
ed the admiration of the world will
retain it by being first in peace as
as they were first in war.

General Grosvenor, one of the adj
ministration leaders, said before the
congressional convention which re-
nominated him in his Ohio district,
that the republican party was to be
the sole judge of where the tariff
should be revised, and that it will be
revised when the proper time"
comes. That proper time" will
never come however. Secretary
Shaw himself admits that the party
is afraid to tackle the tariff question
saying that if it would pull out one
of the unjust schedules which he
admits exists, the beneficiaries of
that schedule would pull down the
whole structure on their heads. Not
until these benefciaries cease to
hold the hand of the republican
party will the tariff be revised by that
party, and that will be, never!

No other remedy invented by man has
ever received as much praise from men
Of high station as Peruna. Over forty
members of Congress have tried il and
recommended it to suffering humanity.
They use it themselves to guard against
the effects of the intense strain of public
life; to ward off the i'll effects of the
changeable climate of Washington.
They keep it in their homes for family

bors, and they do not hesitate in public
print to declare their appreciation and
endorsement of this greatest of modern

the people expect from So strenuous
a campaigner.
The president said yesterday at
lWilliamantic that IF when people wax
fat they kick, as they have been
prone to do since the days of josh
urun, they will speedily destroy their
own prosperity But it is not the
people who are waxing fat that are
doing the kicking now; it is those
who are waxing lean under monopoly
prices for coal, meat and most of
the necessaries of life; with no cor
responding advance in wages and sal
aries.
The wicked who prosper are never
a pleasant sight" sagely observes the
president. But who are the wicked?
Does he refer to the coal magnates
who are doing out anthracite at $12
per ton and doing nothing to end the
strike? Or does he mean the mem
bers of the beef combine. who have
raised food prices out of reach of the
poor? And what does he propose to
do to cure these evils which stand
ish those whose wicked prosperity is
mot a pleasant sight?'
He does not say. He simply de-
clares that 1--WE may like it or not,
just as we please" but that 1.-The very
great increase of large private and
Especially of large corporate for
tunes" is San inevitable result of the
work of various causes" Well, the
people of this country are rapidly
coming to the conclusion that such
obvious and unjust aids to the in
crease of these fortunes as are con-
tanned in our tariff and corporation
laws must be eliminated in the in
terest of equal rights to all, special
favors to none" When Mr.. Roose-
welt gets down to business" in his
speeches will he say what he thinks
of this? His advocacy of pub
licity for the affairs of trusts is good
as far as is goes, but it does not go
far enough.
