tive writing on his own part Mr.
Payne objects particularly to the
cult in literature, which he explains
as having two forms. One is the un-
intelligent worship of a great writer,
the other is praise of writer of mere
secondary importance. 1t is the two
extremes which meets with Mr.. Payne's
disfaVor and very sensibly, we think
too. 1t has become a habit with the
publishers and the makers of public
lty for books and authors to praise to
the skies the work of one Hiram
Smythe, newly discovered author, as
the greatest force in letters of the day.
1t used to be that the reading public
took what the leading critics said
about books and authors as gospel
There are still a great many readers
who take their opinions ready made,
and it is because of these that great
care should be exercised. Suppose"
says Mr.. Payne, that Mr. Bowels
should proclaim a new genius in KAN
schatka." No one dares to dispute
him. On the contrary, every one sup
ports his opinion. and the editions of
the Kamschatka genius go into tens
of thousands, no matter whether we
know what he writes about or MT. 1t
is not always true that the new
writer is not worthy of praise, but it
would be better for him and the read
ing public as well If the promise of
Immortality came after he had pub
lished few books instead of before
his arrival in the literary field. The
most Objectionable feature of the new
cult is that it stops and destroys orig
inal thinking and it breeds intellectual
insincerity.

liver the annual address before the

YELLOW FEVER LOSING ITS TER
RORS.

The commission that has been inves-
tigating the cause of yellow fever at
Vera Cruz, Mexico, thinks it has made
some very important discoveries. Prof.
Boyer of New Orleans, who presided
at the joint meetings of the commits
sions of the United States and Mexico
at Vera Cruz, says that after the COM
mission makes it's report there will not
be as much terror of yellow fever as
there is at present, and that quaran-
tine against the fever win not be half
as burdensome to shipping and to tray
eiers as it is now.
One of the conclusions arrived at
by the commission is that il it were
not for certain kind of mosquito
the kind that carries yellow fever poi
son-there would be no yellow fever
The commission satisfied itself at Vera
Cruz that the fever was spread by
the mosquito. 1t seems that the people
of that city draw their drinking water
from reservoirs in which the mosquito
breeds. The commission had the wa
ter barrels removed. and the people
got the greater part of their water
supply from another source. The con-
sequence was that the number of cases
of yellow fever fell off at once fully
one-half. That is certainly pretty good
evidence that the mosquito has some
thing to do with the spread of the
disease.
that the disease is not carried by
means of fomites. That being the
case there is no further need for the
fumigation of clothing and the holds
of vessels, and no occasion for the
detention of persons who have been
in infected places or of ships from
infected ports.
But what then becomes of those
cases where it has been proven to the
satisfaction of the best yellow fever
experts that the fever was carried in
clothing or in groceries from infected
cities or in ships? How will II be
| explained that the fever broke out on
board OF an American warship a year
after there had been a slight epi-
demic OF the disease on board OF her.
and after she had spent months in
the winter season at the far North
No doubt the report OF the commission
will explain many things which at
present seem 70 be greatly IN need OF
explanation, but viii II remove al

THE ROOT OF THE MATTER.
He Cured Himself of Serious Stom-
ach Trouble, by Getting Down
to First PRINCIPLES.

| A man of large affairs in one of oul
! prominent Eastern cities by too close
attention to business, too little exercise
and too many club dinners, finally be-
| gan to pay natures tax, levied in the
form of chronic stomach trouble: the
| failure of his digestion brought about
nervous irritability making it i'm
possible to apply himself to his daily
business and finally deranging the kid
neys and heart.
In his own words he says: II con-
suited one physician after another and
| each one seemed to understand my
| case, but all the same they each failed
| to bring about the return of my former
| digestion, appetite and vigor. For two
years / went from pillar to post, from
| one sanitarium to another l gave UP
smoking. 1 quit coffee and even re-
nounced my daily glass or two OF
beer, but without any marked i'm
proVement.
Friends had often advised me to
| try a we'll known proprietary medicine.
| Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and l had
often perused the newspaper adver-
tisements of the remedy but never took
any stock in advertised medicines nor
| could believe a fifty-cent patent medi-
cine could touch my case.
ITO make a long story short, finally
| bought a couple of packages at the
nearest drug store and took two or
three tablets after each meal and &C.
caSionally a tablet between meals,
when 1 felt any feeling of nausea or
| discomfort.
II was surprised at the end of the
| first week to note a marked improve
ment in my appetite and general health
| and before the two packages were gone
l was certain that Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets was going to cure completely.
| and they did not disappoint me. 1 can
eat and sleep and enjoy my coffee and
cigar and no one would suppose l had
ever known the horrors of dyspepsia.
"Out of friendly curiosity 1 wrote to
the proprietors of the remedy asking
for information as to what the tablets
contained, and they replied that the
principal ingredients were aseptic
pepSin government test), malt dias-
tase and other natural digestives. which
digest food regardless of the condition
of the stomach
The root of the matter is this, the di-
geStiVe elements contained in Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets will digest the food.
give the overworked stomach a chance
to recuperate and the nerves and whole
system receive the nourishment which
can only come from food; stimulants
and nerve tonicS never give real
strength, they give fictitious strength
invariably followed by reaction. Every
drop of blood, every nerve and tissue
is manufactured from our daily food
and if you can insure it's prompt
action and complete digestion by the
regular use of so good and wholesome
remedy as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets, you will have no need of nerve
tonics and sanitariums.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
have been in the market only a few
years yet probably every druggist in
the United States, Canada and Great
Britain now sells them and considers
them the most popular and successful
of any preparation for stomach
troubles.

THE PRESIDENTS TRIP CHECKED

No doubt there will be a chorus OF
/ opinions expressed that the President
ought not TO go about the country de-
/ hvering electioneering speeches, but
/ should stay in Washington or at his
| summer home and attend to the pub
/ lie business. These opinions will not
be based upon a belief that the public
business is not being properly attend
/ ed to, but upon the fact that the Pres
| idents life is in much greater danger
on such trips as that which he is now
making than when he is in Washing
ton or at his oyster Bay place.
The death of the President might
bring about a panic in financial CEN
tiers that would be followed by indus
trial depression, or there might arise
complicat tons in regard to the success
sion that would have a very disturb
ing effect upon the county. There is
no doubt that the President is in great
er danger when travelling about the
country meeting great crowds than
when at home. Railroad accidents
some of them of a very disastrous
kind-are occurring all the while, and
that the assassin is abroad is proven
by the fate which overlook President
Mckinley.
The President is not at liberty to
do as he pleases in the matter of
travelling about the country-that is.
there is so much depending upon him
and upon his continuing to fill the
great Office he holds until his sue
cessor is inaugurated, that there is a
moral obligation resting upon him to
take every reasonable precaution to
preserve his life. He ought not to take
risks he is not obliged to take. Before
consulting his own pleasure or the in
terests of his party he ought to take
into consideration the welfare of the
country.
There is nothing alarming, of course,
in his present illness. The operation
to which he was subjected yesterday
was made necessary by the hurt he
received in the accident at Pittsfeld,
Mass. No doubt he will be about in
a day or two. The abscess which the
doctors opened was not of such a char
acter as to cause alarm, but the doc
tors thought it better to take every
precaution.
Until this abscess develops it was
not generally known that the hurt the
President received at Pittsfield was so
serious. He should not have under
taken trip to the South or to the
I,n f,4Il
from it. 1t is probable that he will
now remain quiet until his health is
fully restored.

The Shah supplies a fair crop of an
ecdotes daily, says the Paris letter of
the London Telegraph. His sayings
and doings lend themselves largely to
anecdotic treatment, and they are
therefore carefully recorded The latest
story is about the Shah and the dem
fist. His majesty suffered from tooth
ache soon after his arrival in Paris,
and professional extractor of high
class molars was sent for. The pro-
fessional looked at his majesty's teeth
and advised the extraction not of one,
burt of several. The operation was
postponed for a day, but when the
dentist returned to the Elysee Palace
Hotel he found the Shah all right and
in q playful mood. The toothache had
gone, and there was no longer any
need for the dentists services. AS the
professional was preparing to leave,
the Shah called him back, saying:
81 do not like to have troubled you
for nothing, SO, as you have come,
you had better draw a molar from
each of my counselors"
The Shah spoke with his eyes fixed
on the ground and in a meditative
manner. When he looked up all his
counselors had vanished, with the ex-
ception of the Grand Vizier. who man.
fully stood his ground, unmindful as
to whether his all-powerful master
was in joke or in earnest. The other
counselors evidently believed in the
earnestness of the masters utterances.
The anecdote is something like that
old one told of the present Shah's pre-
decessor, who, when in Paris, asked to
see NJ. Deibler at work with the gull
lotine. When he was informed that
there was nothing in La Roquette at
the time waiting for execution, he pro-
posed that one of his suite should be
handed over to Deibler and decapitated
in the Champs Elysees

Eve and the Garden.

Victor Smith of the New York Press
has been reading the Bible. Here are
some of his conclusions:
Where is there any evidence that
Eve was banished from the Garden OF
Eden? Moses writes: 1.-The Lord God
sent him (Adam) forth from the Gar
den of Eden," and so He drove out
the man.
Let husbands bewacei The Lord pun
ished Adam for hearkening unto the
voice of his wife and getting too gay
about the Garden.
We regard agriculture as highly
honorable. In olden days sheep culture
was the thing. In Montana and Wy
oming sheep breeders are not in So
ciety. Abel kept the sheep and Cain
titled the ground. Both made offerings
to God-one of meats, the other of veg
etables, cereals and fruit. God accept
ed the meat offering, but rejected the
vegeta bles, etc. Therefore, on what
sort of ground do the vegetarians
stand?
Civilization began with murder.
Gains descendants are named to the
sixth generation and appear to have
reached an advanced stage of culture,
being noted for proficiency in music
and arts. The murderer became rich

nal polygamist, having taken two
wives. Adah and zillah. He also was
