country be opened 10 the trade Of the
world; that Russia should remove her
troops, except in the neighborhood OF
her railway concessions. and abandon
her right to cut wood on the banks of
the Yalu River. Also that she should
cancel her concessions at Ma-San-PhC

should be considered within the spher,
Of Japanese influence.
The paper says that Japan has ap,
proved these proposals.

ACCOUNTS FOR ALL"
Healing Can Now Proceed,
He Says-Mrs. Nations
Bout With Elijah"

NEW YORK. Oct IA few of the
faithful, weary and footsore, gathered
together this morning to hear Eli
jah" discourse on the Fourth Command
ment Somehow the discourse proved to
be another attack on the wicked
press.
Dowie claims that over one hundred
thousand homes have been visited with
the message from Zion. but he did not
further add that many Of his host, in
a sick condition, had been taken in at
many OF the homes and properly fed.
Neither did he tell of forty-three work
ers who have become sick and exhaust
ed from their house-to-house labors.
Dowie Makes Discovery.
The doctor discovered this morning
why his healings have all gone wrong.
It's all because Chicago is one hour be-
hind New York in point Of time. II
seems that the hosts in Zion City have
been praying at o'clock. while the
healers here have been doing the same
thing. Dowie says they have now al
lowed for the difference in time and the
healing will so on perfectly.
A new star was added last night to
the great Dowie show. in the person
of Mrs. Carrie Nation. The Kansas
destroyer blew isto the Garden while
the ''only one was blowing up" the
newspaper men. Just at the psychOlOg-
teal moment Mrs. Carrie bObbed up in
her seat and shouted: Doctor, 1 want
10 ask you a question"
Carrie" Thrown Out.
Then followed a "taIkfest'' which no
one could follow. Dowie ordered the
band to play and the choir to sing in
order TO drown Mrs. Nations voice. But
Carrie kept right on throwing hot
shot" until the reserves were called to
quen the disorder. She was finally
rushed out into the street and the meet
ing was broken up.

AN OLD TRUTH.

Some one has said that one-half the
misery Of life, at least, if not more,
comes to people from not being able to
make both ends meet, and yet how un-
necessary is the nervous strain and
worry of mind which arises from the
foolish attempt to keep in the midst of
fashionable people-to keep up ap-
pearances which are beyond ones in
come! If it does happen, as it some.
times will, with qualification to both
sides, that bright people with small
means arc thrown in the way of wealthy
acquaintance, always let it be with
frankness and with open acceptation of
the fact. Putting on airs is detrimen-
tai to selfrespect. Much better to
say at once, "We cannot afford it,"
never apologizing for the smallness of
the house or the lack of domestics,
never pretending to he other than you
are. In this way and this only can
housewives, who do much of their own
work in unpretentious homes, find in
tercourse with their wealthy neighbors
agreeable.

THE NEED OF EXERCISE.

Exercise is very important ele-
ment of medical regimen for the pre-
servation of health and the cure Of
diseases. The development of the
muscles and brain requires more or
less regular exercise. Scholastic edu-
cation may be regarded as exercise of
the mind, and gymnastics as exercise
of the body. The best regulated life
it that which secures proper exercise
at proper intervals for all the mental
and bodily functions. The love of &C
tivity shows itself very early in life.
So strong is this principle that
healthy child cannot be restrained from
exercise even by the fear of punish
ment. Nature implants no disposition
in vain. 1t seems to be law in the
animal creation should enjoy health or
be able to find subsistence without ex-
ercise. Every creature except man
takes all the exercise necessary; ex-
cept man and the animals which he
has domcsticated, which he forces to
violate the law and which suffer &C.
cordingly.
Weak nerves are the constant CON-
panions of inactivity. Nothing but
exercise and the open air can strength
en- the nerves and prevent the diseases
which arise from a relaxed state OF
these organs. We seldom hear the
active or laborious complain of ner-
vous diseases. Such complaints come
from the children of ease and affluenee.
Incidence, when INDUCED, becomes
agreeable, and hence many who were
fond of exercise in the early part of
life become averse to it afterward. Ac-
tive diversions are essential, not seden-
tary diversions. The latter do not fill
the lungs with fresh air, Or add bright
ness to the eyes or twill to the mus
cles. They even fail to relieve the
mind, for they often require as much
thought as study or business.
The Prince George's enquirer and southern Maryland advertiser. (Upper Marlborough, Md.) 1882-1925, 1903-01-30

lay, as the agreement allowed. Cob
bit could not get his work through
in time, and the American firm who
now advanced cheaper tender with
all plans prepared, secured the con-
tract. The loss drove Cobbett & Co.,
into bankruptcy, and the great Kaura
bridg &c in Russia is American built.
Somewhat similar, but more roman
tic was the moment of forgettulness that
wrecked the career of the great rail-
way contractor, Purbeck Jones. He
had undertaken the contract to build
the Maiwar line in Central India, and
staked all he had. Security was neces-
sary, however, and he was bound to
deliver by May 9, 1891, sufficient
quantity of negotiable bonds, etc, to
cover loss by the railway syndicate.
This sum amounted to over f2 600, 900,
and even Purbeck Jones found it hard
to raise such sum, but his credit
obtained it for him, and he deposited
his security in great safe at his offices,
prefering that to safe deposit
1t was not until the morning that
the Indian mail went off that he arriv-
ed to dispatch the securities under
special guard to India. When he ar
rived, to his utter dismay, be found
that he had left the keys of the safe
behind. They were in his country
place, and to get them in time to catch
the mail was impossible. Ifhe missed
the mail his time limit for the de-
posit would lapse. He sent to the
safe makers for expert workmen, and
offered large rewards to them if they
could break the safe open within two
hours. They could not ko it, Purbeck
Jones was ruined, for the syndicate
refused an extension of time, and the
loss of the contract made him hope
lessly bankrupt. He died in an in
sane asylum last year.-Business World.
