ART ON CANAL BARGEs.
Pictures of All Sorts of Celebrities Found on Cabin Walls of Old
 Canal Boats.

Capt. John A. Hiester lately com pleted the tearing up of his one hun dred and tenth canal barge to be sold for firewood. These coal barges were gathered from the canal graveyards all along the Reading company's Schuylkill canal system. Many of them did service for 30 years, says a Reading (Pa.) report.
 The cabins of these old canal boats are interesting studies. In one were found pasted up pictures of sthe Heenan-Sayers fight in England, to- gether with engravings of all the fa- nous fighters of America and Europe. Evidently the captain that piloted the old barge was interested in prize fighting and the illustrated history of the manly art of self-defense. : Another cabins paper on the wall was made up of pictures of singers and actresses, beginning with one of Jen- ny Lind's arrival at New York. Every actress or singer of note figured in this collection, but the engravings were soiled and yellow with age.
 Another cabin was full of illustra- tions of the assassination of Lincoln and Garfield. The old boat had been laid up and abandoned before the shooting of Mckinley at Buffalo. An other cabins walls were pasted full of illustrations of the leading battles of the civil war, with pictures of lief ferson Davis, Ulysses s. Grant, Stone wall Jackson, Robert F. Lee and other commanders of both sides.
 In another cabin the captain had pictures of sea fights of the civil war, from the Monitor and Merrimac to New Orleans and Farragut and the Mississippi gunboats, and the sinking of the Alabama by the Kearsarge. Each captain apparently had made speciality of one subject, dating from the civil war.
 Tn one cabin were simply the pres idents and vice presidents of the Unit- ed States from the Buchanan admin istration down to MT. Cleveland. One captains taste evidently ran to dogs, as his cabin was filled with engravings of all kinds of kennel show winners.
 Pictures of Flora Temple and other crack trotters of years ago were in another cabin. Another curious study was the title lines of the leading news papers of the country.

roo SWIFT A PACE.
kS crease of InSa nifty and Crime a n Result of ENtravn%Nnt Habits
 and Dissipa ton.

Some startling conclusions are set forth in report drawn up by Dr. Ar thur Mcdonald, specialist to the Unit ed States bureau of education, forthe information of congress. One of them is that within the last 30 or 40 years there has been an increase, relative to population, in crime, suicide, in- sanity and other forms of abnormal ity." Tn giving his opinion of some of the causes for this increase, says a Washington report, Dr. Mcdonald says: s..
 ''The rapid development of society, as we have suggested is possibly one of the main causes of the increase of crime and abnormality; it includes great number of new inventions, in- creased opportunities for travel and the enterprise of the press enabling at breakfast. It was quite otherwise 50 years ago.A
 ''This haste of civilization puts an abnormal strain upon the nervous sys- tenn as compared with the muscular system. Thus the electric car, auto mobile and the telephone tend to make people exercise less and think more. A reaction has set in already through the development of systems of phys ical culture. The less cost of living and the increase of wealth, with the luxuries of the table, have tended to overeating, which, in connection with lack of exercise, has had it's evil effects and doubtless. produced an additional reaction on the nervous system. When the nerves are unstrung by overpressure the will may become weak, depression and pessimism set in and loss of self-control follow with it's consequent abnormal actions lead ing on to crime and other social evils.
 ''In the statistics of crime some spe- cial points may be noted. The youth, as compared with adults, have com mitted more crimes as society has de- veloped. Suicide among children has greatly increased; this might be re- garded as a symptom of diseased pre- cociousness.
 "The recent rapid development of women by entering more and more into the work of men--a transition i'm volving great strain-seems to have some unwelcome accompaniments. ts. Tn Vienna, for instance, general paral- ysis, mans disease, Is increasing among women. In Belgium insanity and suicide have been growing rela- lively faster in women than in men. In Austria 1t has been found that the criminal influx into cities is relative ly greater in women than in men and the effects of heredity are greater upon women than upon men.
 "If we shake the tree the bad apples fall first So, in periods of rush and strain, the weaknesses of human na- ture become more apparent, But this increase in evil may be only 8 tenn porary one, due to the necessary pres sure of adaptability to modern ciyils ization. The increase in crime, for in stance, is not necessarily proof that the world is growing worse. Periods of decline in history show that the world does not grow better in g straight line upward"

HUNGARIAN ORCHESTRA. Matus and his Royal Hungarian Court Orchestra Wednesday evening at Polls.
"NOTRE DAME"

It is pity that Miss Bertha Gar land could not continue to star in some production in which she would again become a favorite with all classes as she did in "The Pride of Jennico." It is. pity that an ac- tress with bright future before her should find it necessary to accept the leading part in production which is direct insult to a large portion of the citizens of every city i'll which this play is produced. The name of the production itself should be held in sufficient reverence to prevent placing such disgraceful and insulting stig-' ma on religion practfced by millions of people, as is done in this production of "Notre Dame' as enacted by Miss Galland and her company last evening. The production and all who have had connection veith it should be driven from the American stage. True, it has been altered some since It's first introduction and that, too, in New York, but that was done only after q

Mrs Johanna Soderholm, of Fergus Falls, Minn, fell and dislocated he. shoulder. She had surgeon get it back in place as soon as possible, but 1t was quite sore and pained her very much. Her son mentioned that he had seen Chamberlain's Pain Balm advertised for sprains and soreness, and she asked him to buy her bottle of it. which he did, It quickly re- lieved her and enabled her to sleep which she had not done for several days. The son was so much pleased with the relief it gave his mother that he has since recommended it to many others. For sale by all druggists.
