The Santa Fe depot in this city was
almost in total darkness Wednesday
evening when the passenger trains
came in, due To the fact that the agent
WAS out of lamp chimneys. One wait

was lighted by one lamp with a broken
chimney. a movement to collect Chin
neys for the depot is contemplated SO
that the people passing through on
the evening trains may not think that
this is a b-nfghted community.

The Issue of the Hour.

Equal rights to all, and special
privileges to none" the slogan consid-
cred by the conference of number
OF representative democrats of Hi
nOis at the office of Chairman John
L. Hopkins of the state central com
mittee in Chicago yesterday. as suit
able for the party in the Forthcoming
state and congressional campaigns.
not only covers the two great and
most vital issues before the people in
the Philippine policy and the trusts.
but possesses the patriotic and rally
ing ring suitable to such a political
movement in behalf of humanity, hui
man rights and common justice.
The democratic party has splendid
fighting ground this year, and it is
but necessary for it to declare itself
properly and unmista kabIy to win.

Monument to First Steamboat.

y monument to John Fitch was ded-
icated yesterday near Doylestown.
Penn. at the spot where he propelled
his first steamboat. While a resident
there in 1855 he conceived the idea of
using steam as motive power. the
thought coming to him one day as he
was watching Il wagon moving along
the road. Originally he intended TO
drive land vehicles by steam power.
but after experiments he resolved to
direct his labOrs to steamboats,. The
trial trip of the model was on the
mill dam on the farm, later owned by
Gen. John Davis, and at the time
known as the Watts farm. The men,
bers of the party were stationed
about the dam to catch the boat when
it came ashore and turn it back. The
fire was lighted, the boat put in the
water, and after a few moments de-
lay she started putting away up the
dam. Several hours were spent in the
experiment, and at the end of that
time the little steamboat was declar-
ed n success. Fitch then carried il
home under his arm, being sure that
the problem of propelling boats
through the water was solved that
day.
In 17SS Fitch built a-steamboat that
made several successful trips on the
Delaware between Philadelphia and
Burlington. The boat met with so
many accidents, however, that Fitch
was unable to secure the necessary
financial support and was forced to
his work. Twenty years lat
err Robert Fulton, n native of Lancas-
ter county, improved steamboats, so
that they became of practical benefit.

lconciliatory measures in Ireland: BE
just and fear not" To older Ameri-
cans il recalls the no less eloquent
protest of Mr.. Hoar's predecessor,
Charles Sumner, against the project
for annexing the island of San Do
mingo by force and fraud without the
consent of her people.
Nothing could go straighter to the
pith and marrow of the whole con-
troversy than Mr. Hoar's summing up
of the two violently contrasting poll
icies pursued in Cuba and the Phil
ippines. in which he invites his party
and the country to Look here upon
this picture. and on this"
l. For the Philippine islands you
have had TO repeal the Declaration
of independence.
For Cuba you have had to reaffirm
it and give it new lustre.
=. For the Philippine islands You
have had to convert the Monroe doc
trine into Il doctrine of mere selfish
ness.
For Cuba you have acted on it and
indicated it.
,. In. Cuba you have got the etern-
al gratitude of a free people.
In the Philippine islands yau have
got the hatred and sullen submission
of Il subjugated people.
(. From Cuba you have brought
home nothing but glory.
From the. Philippines you have
brought home nothing of glory.
). In Cuba no man thinks of count
ing the cost. The few soldiers who
came home from Cuba wounded or
sick carry about their wounds and
their pale faces as if they were medals
of honor. What soldier glories in
wound or an empty sleeve which he
got in the Philippines?
6. The conflict in the Philippines
has cost you S6OO.OOO,O00. thousands
of American soldiers-the flower of

thousands of -Filipinos slain.
In the splendid peroration with
which the Massachusetts, senator
closed his great speech-the master
effort of his career as il viii doubtless
be ranked-he showed. by piano.

from it's first to its latest chapter.
how absolutely irreconcilable is a
persistence in our present course in
the Philippines with all that, as "A ma

Hoar's Speech in Vindication of Bum
ker Hill.

No speech delivered in the United
States in many years has, the New
York World says, made SO deep an
impression on the country as that of
Senator Hoar on our relations 10 the
Philippine islands and people. Neither
its eloquence nor its logic gave it the
great moving power that has caused
it to be commented upon more
than any speech to which the senate
has listened since the days of the
giants and passionate debates on the
issues that grew out of the civil war.
The secret of its strength was its
moral earnestness. 1t scarcely
touched the material side of the
question; avoided statistical exhibits,
scarcely noticed the commercial ar
guments based on exports and inn
ports and the gateway to China"
theory. Its appeal was wholly to. the
moral sense. the conscience. the his
toric ideals of the American people.
So rich in rhetoric that it will take
rank with the few American political
addresses which. like Webster's re-
ply to Hayne, are destined to perpet-
ual recitation in our public schools,
the strength of il was, nevertheless,
in the clearness of its call to the ma
ton to be true to its own highest self.

II never heard of it," said Julian.
"Try it. Kate"
There was n universal demand for 4
spirit from the hostess, so TO quiet the
clamor she called:
"Come forth, grandma"
a door opened, and the counterpart
OF the spirit photograph walked into
the room. She wore grandma's pink
silk, though the color was nearly gone;
Srandma's shoe buckles. grandma's
powdered wig. and in her hand she
held grandma's snuffbOX, from which
she proceeded to take an imaginary
pinch.
Julian Mainwaring stood looking at
the apparition with eyes and mouth
wide open. The others. all of whom

been made the victim of practical

Mrs. Henriette G. Olberg, superinten-
dent Flax and Hemp Exhibition at the
Omaha Exhibition, writes from Albert
Lea, Mimi, as follows:
"Tbis spring I contracted an agra
waiting cold, having been exposed TO the
damp weather. CaEarrh of my throat
and head followed, which persisted in
remaining, Notwithstanding I applied
the usual remedies.
Reading of the merits of Peruna in
the papers, I decided to try it and soon
found that all that has been said of your
medicine in such cases is true.
81 am very pleased with the satisfac-
tory results obtained from using Peruna,
am entirely we'll, and consider it most
valuable family incidence
HENRIETTE c. OLBERG.
Summer colds require prompt treat
ment. They are always grave, and
sometimes dangerous. The prompt
ness and surety with which Peruna
acts in these cases has saved many
lives. y large dose of Peruna should
be taken at the first appearance of cold
in summer, followed by small and Oft
repeated doses. There is no other rem
edy that medical science can furnish, so
reliable and quick in its action as Peruna.
Address The Peruna Medicine Com
pany, Columbus, Ohio, for a free book
entitled "Summer Catarrh," which
treats of the catarrhal diseases peculiar
to summer.

Professor Grimsby, lecturing TO his
class, lis very limited. The telescope

Julian Mainwaring. one of those who
heard the lecture, was of an inquiring
turn of mind. IF an invisible star" he
reasoned, may be photographed by
long exposure. why not an invisible
spirit:' The more he thought on the
subject the more he felt disposed to
make an attempt TO test the truth of
his theory. He took up his camera and
going to his homestead. now in charge
of a caretaker, went to a room on the
second floor, placed an old rocking
chair in a window and planted his
camera to point toward it.
There he said to himself; eff grand

pertinent. Kate confided the matter 10

girls visited the homestead, carrying
between them large gripsack.
That evening Julian removed his

When he came to examine the result of
his labor, he nearly collapsed with as

Kate asking him to come in the even

some one and could scarcely wait for
evening. When he arrived, he found

he entered. I'VE are all anxious TO
learn the result. Did you get grand

piled, producing his proof. 1t was a
good deal blurred, as might be expect
ed from ghost picture, but there was
recognizable not a wrinkled old woman,
but a pretty young girl. Kate threw
up her hands.
''Grandma!" she exclaimed.
