The other wouldn't Care.

Maurice Barrymore, the actor. once
journeyed from a hunting camp where
he was a guest to small Maine town
for the purpose of seeing Hamlet"
acted by company of transformers,
says an exchange. The performance
was so bad as to be fascinating and
Barrymore and his friends remained
until the very end. AS they made their
way to the village hotel one of the
party asked the actor how companies
of the kind managed to exist.
Don't know said Barrymore,
but they serve an educational pur-
pose"
"They do? How"
'Well, if had the time and money,
1 am sure 1 could decide the Shakes
peare- Bacon controversy after seeing
to-night's performance"
why, Barry, what was there to-
night to make you think so?''
MY dear fellow, If the bodies of
Shakespeare and Bacon were disin-
tered, you'd find that the real author
of Hamlet" had turned in his grave"

Elections were held last week in
thirty-three cities in Massachusetts. In
these elections there were polled a to-

a falling-off of but 100 votes from the

AN AppEAL FOR yIvIsECrIoN.

From time to time state legisla-
lures and Congress are besought to
pass laws to prohibit vivisection. The
pleas are. of course. placed on the
ground of humanity. And the anti
Massachusetts, claim in addition. that
the results secured do not justify the
suffering which must be inflicted on
the dumb animals employed in the ex-
periments. That this latter claim is
incorrect is shown in the very strong
letter written by DR.. Keen of Phila-
delphia to Senator Gallingher which
we published a day or two ago. Sena-
tor Gallagher is himself a physician.
hence DIR. Keen's letter must have
made lasting impression upon him.
DIR. Keen referred to the case of a
young cadet at Annapolis, who was in
jured in a recent foot ball game. The
young man had sustained the rupture
of a blood vessel in the head, and suf-
fered from commissions of the right
arm, and headache. Having made ex-
tensive experiments in vivisection, DR..
Keen was able TO determine precise
the brain, from the commissions that
were produced in the arm. He opened
the skull, found that his diagnosis was
perfectly correct, removed the clotted
blood, and the young mans life was
saved. Had this case come to his at
tention seventeen years ago, before
he had made experiments in vivisec-
ton, DR.. Keen says that he would
have been justified. in view of the
knowledge then possessed by surgeons,
in opening the skull at different place,
and the young man would have died
whether the skull had been opened or
not The patients lifd therefore,
was saved as a result of knowledge
gained through sacrificing certain
dumb brutes in vivisection. How
many dogs or rabbits or cats was
the life of the young man worth?
viii anybody attempt to answer? Let
every parent ask himself or herself
how many dumb animals he or she
would willingly sacrifice to save the
life of a son. And it may be that
hundreds of human lives will be saved
through operations identical with that
performed by DIR. Keen on the An
napolis student, as a result of know
ledge gained through vivisection.
In view of the facts of the matter,
does 1t not resolve itself into question
whether it is more humane. to per-
form vivisection in order to learn how
to save human life, or to permit men
and woman to die of blood clots, poi
sons, etc, not yet fully understood
rather than to cause suffering to
dogs, cats, rabbits and guinea pigs
In the practice Of vivisection it is
the sacrificing of the lesser for the
benefit of the greater. The guinea pig
is killed, possibly by painful methods,
in order that the man may live.
Thousands of persons die in India
every year from the bites of serpents.
English physicians have desired to ex-
pertinent with serpent poisons on dumb
animals in order to discover if possi-
BILE specifics for them. The humane
ness of their purpose cannot be ques-
toned. But the English law prohibits
vivisection, and the English doctor who
wishes to do something to save the
lives of the snakebitten Indians must
go out Of his country to conduct his
experiments.

PARDoNs FOR BANK CRIMINALS.

There used to be a good deal of crit
icism passed upon President Mckinley.
an exceptionally kind-hearted man,
for the number of his pardons to bank
officials who had been convicted of
crimes In connection with their bank
ing trusts. 1t was thought, when he
had been succeeded by the stern and
vigorous President Roosevelt that
violators of the law, no matter what
had formerly been their prominence.
would have little reason 10 expect
clemency at the hands of the chief
executive. 1t seems, however, that
President Roosevelt has developed
quite soft heart and a bit of senti-
mentality in the exercise of his par
doning power. He has committed the
sentence Of Gideon w. Marsh so that
his Imprisonment will expire on Dec.
"a. This will be his Christmas present
to the man.
Gideon w. Marsh was president of
the Keystone National Bank of Phil
adelphia when, in 1891, the collapse
of that institution startled the Amer
lean financial world. Investigation
into the affairs of the bank showed
that there had been crookedness and
President Marsh was indicted for vio-
lation of the Federal banking laws. He
was placed under a $4,000 bail bond,
furnished by William H. Wanamaker
and was awaiting trial, when he sud
denly disappeared and was as COM
pletely lost as if the earth had opened
and swallowed him. For five years he
remained in hiding, and notwithstand-
ing an extended search was kept up
no trace of him was found. Mean
while the bond had been forfeited and
the amount of it paid over to the gov
eminent After the lapse of five
years he suddenly showed up in Phil
adelphia and said he had determined,
in response to an appeal to him which
he had read in a newspaper, to return
home and stand trial. He entered a
plea of guilty on three indictments,
and was sentenced to twelve years
and three months in the penitentiary.
Subsequent to his conviction and SEN
tence the amount of the forfeited bond
was returned to Mr.. Wanamaker by
a special act of Congress.
Marsh was sentenced on Dec. 10,
1885, so that he will have served
few days more than four years when,
on Christmas Eve, he will cease to be
merely a prison number and become
again a man with a name. A thirty
three per cent. punishment, however,
is better than none for bank criminals.

LOVE LETTERS no A PREACHER.


The Rev. Joseph Lester. of Indian
Territory, is going to publish a book.
1t will be something in the nature of
a treatise on love-making, embodying
$50 model love letters by women. The
letters were not intended for publi-
cation, but solely for the perusal and
prayerful meditation of the Rev.
Joseph. 1t seems that up to about
three years ago this preacher was a
married man. Then his wife had the
good luck to die Almost Immediately
after she had been laid beneath the
daisies, and before decent period of
mourning had elapsed. the Rev. Joseph
says women began to write him love
letters. Within a sort time he had
received tender epistles from not less
than 1000 women, each and every one
of whom was not only willing but
ready to become Mrs. Joseph Lester,
No. 2. From these thousand women
there came in the aggregate several
thousand letters. The preacher tried
to answer each of them with his own
hand, but the task was too great.
However, he says he answered enough
of them to give him the clear right
to say that he has answered more
love letters than any other man in the
correspondence he has selected $50 of
the best letters, which he says he will
publish in his forthcoming book as
models; and at the conclusion of the
volume he will celebrate the whole
episode in an original poem.
1t is to be hoped that in his selection
of letters Mr.. Lester has chosen some
that will throw light upon the
question of why so many women make
themselves fools over preachers. That
question Is one which has caused the
average man to puzzle his brain and
pull his hair. Is it because the woman
is naturally a missionary, and thinks
that by becoming a preachers wife
she may be able to widen her field
of endeavor? Is it because the preach
fluence in the church sewing circle
and stands a fair chance of winning
the silk crazy quilt at the church fair?
However, such questions are idle, and
the hope that Preacher Testers love
letters will throw any light on the sub
ject is vain. The preferences of wo-
men are inscrutable. Some of them
just dote on preachers, while others
are equally fond of the worst of bad
men. Meanwhile, 1t is not out of place
to surmise that the Rev. Testers book
will throw great deal of light upon
the character of man he is. He wish
es to hold himself up to an admiring
reading public as the object of the af.
| fections of 1000 women; being alto
gether desirable and lovely. He has
had 1000 hearts at his feet, and he
wants everybody to know it. He is
a clerical Adonis, placed upon a pillar
| to be worshipped. He is a lady-kiIIer,
at whose beck women would go into
| ecstacies of delight. The publication
of the letters he has received from so
many foolish women will crafty his
vanity. With apologies to the four
footed beast, he might be called a
donkey.

OUTLOOK FoR TRUST LEGISLATION


OUTLOOK FoR TRUST LEGISLATION.
1t is a safe prediction that there will
be no legislation against trusts at this
session of Congress, Notwithstanding
the fact that the President is extreme
ly anxious that there shall be. 1t is
fluential of the Senators of his party to
take hold of the subject and bring it to
the attention of the Senate at the
earliest possible moment.
There is no doubt of course that the
House will act promptly if assurances
are forthcoming that the Senate will
pass an antitrust bill. or make such
amendments to the Sherman antitrust
law as will enable the government to
reach trusts. In fact. it is the under
standing that the House is rather anx-
ious to show that the Republican party
is against trusts-at least to the ex-
tent that the President is against
them.
There is no probability, however, as
far as can now be ascertained. that
the Senate wifi do anything. Some of
the leading Republican Senators take
the position that the country is en-
joying period of great prosperity, and
that an attack on trusts would do as
much harm in the way of checking
prosperity as an attack on the protec-
tive principle of the tariff. others of
them say that 1t is the better plan to
let well enough alone, and still others
contend that nothing can be done in
the direction of supervising or controll-
ing them unless the constitution is so
amended as to give Congress greater
authority in the matter.
We shall hear a great deal about leg
| islating against trusts along the line
marked out by the President during
this winter. but it can be stated with
certainty that there will be no anti
trust legislation. The trusts have got
their grip on Congress-. and in fact, on
the country, and it will take a great
political upheaval to wrench both free
from them. new set of men with
different principles will have to be put
in control of Congress before there will
be legislation that win seriously inter
fere with trusts. In the meantime
trusts are being organized right along,
and by the time a Congress that win
act against them has been chosen the
business of the entire country will be
in the hands of trusts. Then it will be
argued probably that any interference
with trusts would be calamitous. IL,
indeed. trusts would not be strong
enough to defy the government.

So strong is the belief that Associate
Justice Shiras of the Supreme Bench
will retire shortly that there is al
ready a fight over the successorship to
him. President Roosevelt is said to
have in mind the naming of Judge
Taft, Governor of the Philippines, to
the position, but a dispatch to the
Philadelphia Record from Washing
ton says that Senators Quay and PEN
rose have notified the President that
they want the appointment for ]. Hay
Brown of their state. Justice Shiras
was appointed from Pennsylvania, and
those patronage brokers'. Quay and
Penrose, imagine they are entitled to
the naming of his successor as a part
of their political rake-off. 1t is sin
cerely to be hoped that the President
will prove strong enough to disre-
gard Quay in his selection for a sue
cessor to Justice Shiras. Judge ]. Hay
Brown may be an able and upright
man, but the fact that Quay wants
him appointed is against him.

The price of Illuminating oil has been
advanced 31a cents a gallon since the
coal strike began. A notice of an ad-
vance of. one cent gallon has just
been issued. This advance of one cent
will mean an increase of about IS, OOO, :
900 year in the earnings of the Stand
ard OIL Company. So far as the infor-
nation goes there has been no increase
in the cost of production or distribu-
ton to the company. On Monday the
stockholders of the Standard Oil will
receive a quarterly cash dividend of
$100Oo,o00. The general impression in
Wall street is said to be that the trust
is trying to make It's profits large
enough to pay so per cent. dividend
during the next fiscal year. That is
how this good and beneficent trust is
milking the people. Rockefeller
squeezes consumers for 40 to so per
cent. profits on the many shares of
his trust. and then squares his con-
science by giving small fraction of
his income to churches and colleges.

Ken,osha County.

Kenosha county is not only loyal to
Congressman Cooper, but she was
equally loyal to conservative Republi-
canism and glad Of an opportunity to
go on record. Her loyalty to principle
endorsed cheerfully the candidacy of
Senator Whitehead for Governor. The
delegation was composed Of intelli-
gent, level headed men, and back of
them was constituency which believes
in Repu blicanism of the old fashioned
sort.
There are a good many counties in
the State that will follow the pace set
by Kenosha county. The State has
not gone daffy on La Folletteism and
when the people have an opportunity
to express themselves on questions of
State importance, there will be no un-
certain sound. Kenosha is training
in good company, and the county will
not be lonesome in the State conven-
tion.-Janesvi11e Gazette.

The Beers have at last laid down
their arms and their great struggle for
absolute independence has ended in
defeat. The governments of the
Transvaa1 and Orange Free State are
transformed into British Crown Colo
MES. From the first, without foreign
intervention in their behalf, no other
termination of the war than that
which has just taken place was posi-
bic. Though beaten, they are not dis.
graced, and the desperate valor and
heroic determination of these Dutch
farmers in the face of overwhelming
numbers has excited the admirati a
and sympathy of the world. If Great
Britain adopts conciliatory policy
and'gives to the conquered colonies a
more enlightened government than
they enjoyed under Kruger, the Beers
may become reconciled to their fate
and the peace of South Africa remain
unbroken. Should harsh measures be
taken Great Britain may yet find that
the Beers, though forced by necessity
to submit for time, are still capable
of waging another war.

THE GREATEST OF
AMERICAS
SANITARIUMS.

The principal remedy he relies upon in
such cases is Peruna, which every
woman should have, who has any affec-
ton Of this kind.
In view of the great multitude of
women suffering from some kind of
female disease, and yet unable to find
any cure, DR.. Hartman, the renowned
gyn@cologist, has announced his will
lingness to direct the treatment of as
many cases as may make application to
him during the summer months with
out charge.
The treatment will be conducted by
correspondence. The doctor will pre-
scribe all medicines, applications, hy-
gien1c and dietary regulations neces-
sary to complete cure. The medicines
prescribed can be obtained at all drug
stores. This offer will prevail during
the summer months. Any woman can
become a regular patient by sending a
written statement of her age, condition
Of life, history and symptoms of her de-
rangements.
All cases Of female diseases, including
menstrual irregularities, displacements,
alterations, inf1ammations, discharges,
Irritation OF the ovaries, tumors and
dropsy of the abdomen, should apply at
once and become registered as regular
