Crookes said: This fatal quality of

A lady of one of the old families liy-
ing zeal Boston related to a writer the
other day an anecdote of Daniel Web
ster which has never been in print be
fore. This lady happened to be n of
a few friends who went with Mr.. Web
ster to the hall where hung on exhibit
ton previous to its final location in
Faneuil hall Mr.. Healy's now famous
painting representing Webster making
his reply to Hayne. "Mr. Webster
said the lady, was very feeble and
was led in by the artist. Ascending the
platform which commanded a view of
the picture, Webster looked at it for
some minutes, making some pleasant
observations to his friends respecting
the different senators and the various
points of interest on the canvas This
portrait and that were spoken of and
even the pages recognized. Finally,
turning to go, Mr.. Webster quietly re-
marked, And as for that man standing
there in the center-well, I've seen bet

Lucky Chemists.

The number of chemists shops in
German towns is strictly limited. and
new licenses are rarely granted. The
value of these licensed establishments
is therefore constantly growing. At
Breslau a chemists shop has just
changed hands for $4,000, including
$4,000 for the license alone. At Dant-
zic a chemists business recently real
lied $500, including $4,000 for the Ii
cense. 1t was sold a fortnight later for
f9, 1900, including $4,000 for the license.

New Way of Using ChamberIain's
Cough Remedy.

Mr.. Arthur Chapman writing from
Durham, Natal, South Africa, says:
LAS a proof that Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is a cure suitable for old and
young, l pen you the following: A
neighbor of mine had a child just over
two months old. 1t had a very bad
cough and the parents did not know
what to give it. l suggested that if
they would get a bottle of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy and put some
upon the dummy teat the baby was
sucking it would no doubt cure the
child. This they did and brought
about a quick relief and cured the
baby" This remedy is for sale by

OUR REAUTIFUL PARK

The people OF Wilmington realize
that they have one Of the prettiest
parks in the country. that along the
Brandywine. AS the years come and
the city grows in population, we shall
appreciate the foresight which secured
this land and made IL the common
property of all OF our people.
But to realize how beautiful it can be
one should visit it at this season. and
stroll through it from one end to the
other. The upper park is not much
frequented by pedestrians, but il is
there that there is the greatest charm
Of natural scenery and native beauty.
just now the dogwoods and the wild
honeysuckles are in bloom, and from
the woods steal all sorts Of enhancing
scents, while every tree and shrub is
resplendent in its new dress, now fresh
and green, without tatters or tarnish.
Everybody should spend a few hours
In the woods occasionally at this sea-
son. To saunter along care-free, TO
picka few blossoms and TO get a few un-
polluted whiffs OF air is inspiriting and
wholesome. 1t is a good place to take
the children; there they may learn les
sons Of botany that win be enjoyable
because there is the element Of interest
and because the lessons are so differ
ent from those of the text books In
an hour a bright boy or girl may learn
more OF trees and their distinguishing
marks than could be acquired in the
class room in a year. II you want your
children TO enjoy nature study, let
them go to the parks; and be sure TO
accompany them IN the capacity OF
guide and companion.

May TEST MONROE DOCTRINE

Reports from San Domingo indicate
that the affairs Of that island are in a
distressing condition. one revolution
after the other has harried the people
until business is practically suspended
and the public debt has grown till it
now reaches over s2o.oOO,OOo 1t is held
In America and several European
countries, and the interest having been
defaulted pressure for some settlement
will undoubtedly be made.
Possibly the history Of the late Vene-
zuelan blockade win be repeated, but 1t
is doubtful whether the funds to meet
the demand would be forthcoming with
only the security offered by rotten and
revolutionary government. But in the
event OF a European demand backed by
a show of naval strength, and nom
compliance on the part of San Domin-
go, what then? The customs Of the
island may be seized and applied to
the satisfying of creditors, but these

there being little probability that all
win be paid IN full, other measures are
likely TO be taken.
In that event our Monroe Doctrine
would come up again for consideration.
Under it we should be obliged to deny
to any country the right to seize the
territory, yet how we could deny that
right without satisfying the debt, is not
clear. Should we decide to clear off the
obligation, then TO secure ourselves we
should have TO annex the island, which
when we consider its inhabitants,
would be an expensive thing for us to
do. The spirit Of our Monroe Doctrine
Is sound. but in its practical operation
there are many emergencies that re-
qulre broad diplomacy.

Here is the latest method Of getting
around state Constitution: The
Pennsylvania Legislature recently
passed a law increasing the salaries Of
all OF the judges Of the State, from the
Common Pleas to the Supreme Court.
The Constitution says NO law shall
extend the term OF any public officer
or increase or diminish his salary or
emoluments after his election or ap-
polntment" SO the increase in salary
clearly transcends the Constitution.
Yet the legislators declare they knew
this when the law was passed. but
since the judges are disqualified to
hear any question in which they are
personally interested, the law cannot
be tested. and the judges VIII draw
their extra salaries despite the Consti-
tuition. They have great ways of do
ing things in Pennsylvania.

TIE sAGINAw DISASTER

When a terrible disaster such as
that which occurred off Hog Island
yesterday is chronicied. there is little
to be said 1t may have been due 20
carelessness or it may have been the
work Of the fog. When there is the
element OF human negligence we may
preach our sermons. but when it is
'the act Of God,' as the lawyers say.
no comment is necessary.
The horrors OF such disaster are
Impossible TO imagine. The ship is
moving slowly along rising and falling
on a gentle swell. The passengers are
asleep in their snug berths dreaming
Of friends and kindred TO be greeted
on the morrow. There comes an awful
crash. the thrush OF water. wild excite
ment. prayers and impreoations. In
u moment all are thrown into the black
waters struggling for life. Loved ones
are separated in the awful struggle
and each fights for himself An houI
passes and the face Of the deep bears
no trace OF the disaster; the ocean has
hidden its prey.
These things make us shudder and
dread 10 trust ourselves at sea. Ye
we are assured by statisticians tina
the safest place on earth is on ship
board and the next safest place is ol
a railway train. Perhaps it is tn
thought Of the hungry waves below
with only a plank to keep US from be
corning their prey that hils us wit
fear Then the terrors Of a single dis
aster like that which occurred yester
day make a deep impress and increas
our timidity.

MonERN OouRAGE

The old-fashioned hero was more or
less of swash buclSler, whose posi-
ton in public esteem was based more
or less on his ability to spill gore and
to pay graceful compliments to the
ladies' This age is less romantic, and
we have been compelled to shift our
view points. Occasionally we hear Of
q physician or Sister OF Charity go
ing to a leper colony or to a fever dis
trict That requires the highest type
Of heroism. since there is nothing Of
excitement to stimulate the nerves.
Many a soldier can make a dash at the
lines OF an enemy who would quail be-
fore the continued terrors Of a Valley
Forge
So when we read in the papers of a
poor laboring man going TO the hospital
and submitting to having nearly a
square foot of his skin removed in or
der 10 supply that which was neces-
sary to save the life Of a little child
who had been terribly burned, we are
Obliged TO conclude that we have dis
covered a hero. There was no glamor,
no excitement about It. No thought
OF medals. honors or promotion moved
him; it was a simple human impulse
which makes the humblest and rudest
Of mortals godlike.
Perhaps the time has come for re-
adjustment OF our standards True
you can't write a poem about a man
who sacrifices a huge section OF his
skin for another. while the flash Of the
sword and the screech Of shells have
been the source OF many stirring
line; but down in our hearts we recog
nize that the highest courage is tina
kind which evinces the finer qualities
OF the heart.

Recent occurrences have served strongly.

tween the Vatican and the chief three
powers Of Europe. One Of these latter

tlons to the Holy See as the recognized
protector of Roman Catholic missions I'M
