STUDENT EsCApApEs

DR.. Rainsfmd, of New York, has
created numerous sensations in his
public addresses, and he has often
aroused the various temperance organi-
cations by an expression OF views CON
trary to those usually held by clergy
men and reformers. AT a recent ad-
dress at Harvard, however, he uttered
sentiments which must be endorsed by
all right-thinking persons. A dispatch
referring to the address says:
DR.. Rainsford blamed Harvard men
in that they thought too lightly Of get
ting drunk and didn't take a strong
stand against men who make fools OF
themselves in that way Coming as il
does from a man OF such high stand
ing, and a man so accustomed to pro
ducing sensations by his addresses, Il
is small wonder that this statement
has aroused considerable feeling no
only in Cambridge. in Boston ant
among Harvard alumni. but in tn
minds as well OF all college-bred mel
throughout the country.
The fact that this address was mad
at Harvard, shows that Or. Rainsfor
is not without courage. And Will

From the Morning News.

From the Morning News.
While some Of cur Democratic
friends are almost frantic ia their de-
nunciations of General Smith and other
soldiers in the Philippines. they should
turn their attention to the Southern
states in this counry. Especially
should those Southern members of
Congress. who arc just now so sadly
shocked at the use of the water cure
in the Philippine Islands, do so.
ylt is declared that the water cure
Is not fatal. and one returned soldier
statd that he has taken tine cure
and finds its more acceptable than a
beating. But our Southern friends
should bear in mind the fire. l.e rome
and the bullet cure" so frequently
used in this country. II is not un-
common to read of negroes being
burned alive at the stake. to read of
others being hung up to enforce con
fessions. TO read of others who are
shot down like dogs for minor viola
uons Of the statute laws. and various
oiienses of an equally atrocious char
acter.
There may possibly be more excuee
in view of the exigencies OF war TO
commit deeds that would shock and
astound those who are not in the field.
War Is not a pleasant affair. and all
the deeds committed by men under
arms are not calculated to make Il
agreeable for the victims or TO provide
entertaining reading But in the South
the bitter brutality and cruelty shown
for the negroes Is even worse than
the alleged cruelties charged against
our soldiers in the Philippine Islands.
Yet political capital cannot be made OF
the atrocities against the Southern
negroes.
The detractOrs of the American sol
diers revel in charges OF cruelty
against a few individual soldiers. but
they lose sight Of the outrageous
treatment OF negro suspects in the
South. The difference is that the
water cure does not kill, while the
cures applied in the South do kill,
and they are so intended. While criti-
cism is being made of our army in the
Philippines there should be at least
so.ne consideration of the fact that in
the South negroes are tortured and
killed for oifenses that. in other States.

vERY PLAIN ISSUE

Aren't the Republicans of this State
getting little bit tired OF moves and
counter moves? These may be divert
ing. but they present no new aspect OF
the situation. I'VE want Addicks for
senator" say the Union Republicans.
They have said Il in conversation, in
the press. in their manifestos and in
all their acts. 1t is a position that mas
never been modified a particle. OF
1eviated from an instant IL was their
position when their party was in a
hopeless minority; it is the same when
they claim a majority.
The Regular Republicans have been
equally consistent They will enter no
deal. offer no plan. enter into no COM
promise that has for its object the
sending of Addicks TO the Senate.
This was their position when they
were in an overwhelming majority; it
is their position now thatthe party is

turned its back on them.
There was never an issue more
clearly drawn. Every compromise
that can be made has been made The
next step means surrender for some
one. Addicls must be elected, or not
elected: he cannot be partially elected.
The Regular Republicans are as GER
tain that thedevil is fit for beatification
as they are that Addicks is fit for the
Senate Believing this, they will fight
on. They will endeavor to eliminate
malice or uncharitablenoss, just as
thay eliminate il when their religious
beliefs are attacked. but they will not
change them for that reason. Mean
while the issue remains; on the one
side. any two good men for the Senate;
on the other. the claim that Addicks,

The people Of Milford and it's vicin-
ty are busy in the discussion of a
case which was decided by the Kent
county court yesterday Four men. we'll
known and generally respected. were
sentenced to a term Of six months i'm
prisonment Sudh Incidents are pain
ful. since the convicted men have many
friends, and all of them have borne a
reputation for good character. The
difficulty was that they decided that
they were above the law, and therefore
they proceeded TO regulate the conduct
of another by the use of physical v.o-
lence.
It grew out OF a dispute over fox
hunting. the defendants having made
free to roam over the lands of the
prosecuting witness. They were warn
ed to keep Off. but answered by threats.
Then the enraged farmer shot their
dogs as a desperate remedy. The next
day this inoffensive man was pounced
upon by one Of the defendants. 1he
other three stood guard and prevented

Under these circumstances the jury

tasteful to them, since they were ac-
quainted with the defendants, but il
was stern duty There are too
many breeches of the peace in this
State, too great n tendency TO resort to
violence. The only way to protect the
public is to- rigidly enforce the law,
no matter who the defendants may be,
and in this case no other course was
possible. There is always a tendency
for the muscular and vigorous to take
advantage of the weak, and the good
OF society demands that the law in its
attempt to preserve the equities be-
tween men, should be upheld.

About Physical Culture

In looking through the advertising
pages of the magazines these days one
is struck with the numerous counterfeit
plcsentments Of gentlemen half nude
with muscles that stand out in wads,
and with chests that assume a heroic
attitude. Every month brings forth a
new face in the picture gallery, and
each in extent of muscle Outstrips the
last These muscular gentlemen in their
advertisements inform us that they
are teaching physical culture by an en-
tirely new method, warranted to pro-
duce Simpsons upon the slightest en-
couragement. Each has a method
newly discovered, and which has been
unknown to science through all ages.
TO get strong ii is only necessary to
get a letter of instruction from one
of these gentlemen, paying the nee
essary fee. and the rest is only
a matter of a little practice. The new
treatment requires no apparatus. Ger
tain of the popular journals have taken
uD the matter. and by humorous IL
lustrations we are shown just how to
do the trick. We imagine from these
that the only way to get strong is to
stand on ones head, lie on the back
and bring the knees to the chin till
we shut up like a clam, twist and con-
tort till the last suspender button has
severed its connection with the trOus-
ers. and lOl we are strongl
In order that we may be sufficiently
impressed. some Of these beefy gen.
tlemen advertise intelligent physical
culture. 1t may be taught by an ex-
pugilist whose strength is entirely mus
cular and which does not extend to
the region of the gray matter. Most
Of these gentlmen so amply blessed

idea of the real science of physical
development than an OK has.

Fortunately we are so constituted
that we may get pretty nearly all the
exercise we require in our work and
in our sports 1t may be doubted
whether there is much of any other
kind that is valuable In the first place
we walk too little. and this is regard
ed as a most healthful exercise. Many
business men puff like porpoises in
walking a block, and street cars are
taken to cover two or three squares.
1t is a mistake to suppose that in this
legs alone are exercised. The arms,
chest. and above all, the heart and
lungs are employed.
Every business man should have a
garden or a work room where he can
spend a half hour daily. The exercise
will be pleasurable, start the perspir-
alton. timber up the muscles, give him
an appetite and create in him a
brighter view of life. This is better
than any mechanical exercise where
one stands up and goes through GER
tain motions which grow distasteful.
Plcasurable work or sports are best.
The thing most to be desired is that
the mind shall be engaged. | have
in mind a clergyman, who from his
work became a physical wreck. The
doctor prescribed walking. but there
was no improvement, for he said that
as he was walking he was thinking of
his sermons. and OF the troubles of his
parishioners. Then get a boxing in
structor." said the doctor. He did so
ana when he was asked how he got
along he said: Il don't get to think OF
church work during this exercise, oI
of anything else;I only think of how Il
prevent my being landed under the
table"
There is another thing worthy oi
being remembered: we give up oul
sports too early in life. picture

II would be ungraciOus, of course, to
intimate that none of these gentlemen
who obtrude their anatomy upon us
in the pages Of the magazines are not
capable of giving many valuable direc-
tiOns for the development of our ply
siaue, but there is a too common i'm
preston that the goal to be attained
is immense muscle. The dray horse is
muscular and strong; SO is the racer.
but the former is clumsy, while the
latter is elastic. energetic and wirey.
Most young men have an ideal Of ply
steal manliness. and it is measured by
swelling biceps, and great rolls of flesh.
We have in mind an athletic instructor
in a great university who was giving
advice to a new and ambitious pupil,
who was disgusted at the young mans
attempts to get strong by swinging
immense iron dumbbells. Said he:
Get q pair of light wooden ones, just
something to hold in the hands, and
exercise with them"
over exertiOn and over training in
persons who are not naturally strong,
or who have sedentary habits is very
often harmful. The strain is unnat-
uIal and is too great a tax on the heart
and lungs. For the purposes of health
excessive physical development is
neither necessary nor desirable.
There are several requirements for
good healtn. chief of which are a plen-
ty of pure air, nourishing diet sound
sleep and a reasonable amount of exer-
else. Most OF these are within the
grasp of everyone. The air is free and
everyone may have it in his home, in
his bedroom. and if not, all he has to
do is to step out of doors. A wholesome
diet is not necessarily an expensive
one For the purposes of health, most
families could live better and, at the
same time. cheaper than they do.
Nearly all persons eat more than they
can digest and assimilate. and the ex-
pensive foods frequently are the ones
most detrimental to health. Sound
sleep usually follows normal living,
and many men clip years off of their
lives by neglecting it. Regular habits
is another most desirable item. Then
comes exercise. and it may be pertinent
to make certain brief remarks regard
ing it.
