There is a disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-
tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by
it-heart disease. pneumonia, heart failure
or apoplexy are often the result of kidney
disease. If kidney trouble is allowed TO ad-
vance the kidney poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness of the blood-the albumen
leaks out and the sufferer has Bright's
Disease, the worst form OF kidney trouble.

The Indifference of Voters.

After the votes cast at the bond cleo tion are counted tomorrow night the defeated side will be able to say, no doubt, that disaster was wrought by the failure of it's friends to come to the polls. The great difficulty in carrying any election, for or against any meas ure or for or against any party, is t;i getting the voters to the ballot box. The indifference of the average citizen is never more pointedly brought out than by a comparison of the votes cast with the eligible vote, or even with the vote registered. The failure to eN- press an opinion is especially notice able when special questions are to De voted upon. Purely political questions will bring out much larger percent age of the vote than will any economic issue
 The examples are numerous. When was submitted to the voters in 1894, 1,275, GOO electors took part in the con test for governor. Of these only 73S,- 900 were recorded one way or the other on the proposed new constitution, and 539, 900, considerably more than one third of the whole number, did not taka the trouble to vote one way or the other.
 In the same contest two separate propositions were submitted to the voters of New York city-consolidation and rapid transit. On the question or consolidation 10000 votes were cast. though there were 275.OOO votes for mayor in the city on the same day, and

Extent of the Universe.

H. H. Turner, Savilian professor of astronomy at Oxford, has taken occi.- sion to traverse the theory of Alfred Russell Wallace as to the limita tions or the universe and the place of man. Professor Turner writes in the Apr,l Fortnightly on the subject, taking the ground that MT. Wallace's position Is founded on surmise and that the facts point the other way. Wallace held that the universe of matter is limited, that beyond the faintly visible stars there is nothing, that the earth Is the real center and also the seat of the most l intelligent being, man.
 Professor Turner doesn't really know any more about the matter than MT. | Wallace, but holds that the develop ment of light in dark nebulae, as in the 1 case of the new star that became q nebulae in Perseus. indicates that there | is dark matter far beyond human ken, and that the apparent darkness in the. barren regions of the sky is only appar- ent, not real. It may be filled with matter that has not sufficient light to reach our eyes. But occasionally q star, or a nebula blaZes out in the grea, darkness. Professor Turner wrote be- fore the recent discovery of a new star in the constellation of Gemini This nova is of the seventh magnitude with continuous spectrum crossed by the bright lines of hydrogen. The star is red in color. It requires close watci of the heavens to detect new star, and it is quite probable that many appear and disappear each year. but so faint as to attract no attention. A certain degree of light will reach us and q slight dirninution remove the star for ever from our vision.
 So the chances are greatly in favor O.. Professor Turner's reasoning. As to the earth being the center of the uni verse. Professor Turner says there is no true center. 4 enter means limitation. I-Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.

Today in Dublin.

Today will be momentous date in the history of Ireland. A national con- vention at Dublin will determine whether the Irish people shall support or oppose the land-purchase bill re- gently introduced in parliament on be- Wyndham, the Irish secretary. The bill provides for the purchase, for and by the Irish tenantry, of the lands now held under lease from landlords, and in addition to that provides a general scheme for the people of Ireland to acquire the lands now owned in great funds to the tenants wherewith to buy the land. The sum of sixty millions of dollars is to be given outright, and the remainder, estimated from half bii- lion to three-quarters of billion of dollars, is to be returned to the govern ment in installments. The principle is very similar to the central idea of our own national irrigation law. In each the government stands in the relation of a benevolent money lender.
 It is scarcely conceivable that tha Irish people will reject the plan which has been formulated for their relief. It may be, as intimated by John Red mond, the Irish parliamentary leader, that the governments bill requires amendment in important particulars It would be remarkable indeed if this were not so But should the convention today reject the bill as a whole, the millions of Ireland's friends in this country would be sorely disappointed. It would, of course, be too much to ex- pect a ready acceptance of the govern have their innings at Dublin today. just as they have their innings on all occasions and in all countries. The earnest but short-sighted, as well as he professional players to the gallery, will probably insist that the land-pur- chase bill must be amended to provide for home rule, and should the conven- ton be carried off its feet by appeals along the home rule line, the result would certainly be disastrous. Gen. turies of trial have demonstrated that Ireland cannot drive England an inch in the direction of justice for Ireland. An effort to engraft home rule upon the land bill would mean, simply, the defeat of both.
 On the other hand, appeals to Eng lands own self-interest never go un- needed. The unionist party has be- come convinced. and doubtless the English electorate can be convinced, that it is clearly to the interest of the British taxpayers to have Ireland made prosperous through some such meas ure as MT. Wyndham has introduced; and it is not at all improbable that within a few years more the enlight- ened self-interest of the English peo- pie will lead them to give Ireland a greater measure of home rule than even Gladstone would have thought prudent to offer.
 At no time in recent years has there been a greater need for the assertion of that abundant common sen e with which the Irish people are endowed than will be presented by today's con- vention at Dublin.

on rapid transit 115, ,00O votes only were recorded.
 The figures from the recent New Hampshire election on the question ot nine proposed amendments to the con- stitution of that state show a like in- difference to matters submitted to the voters directly. On the question of difference towoman etaoin shrdl shrdl woman suffrage, which had been dis cussed and agitated throughout the whole state for many weeks before the contest, the total vote was 14.000 in favor and 21.OOO against, a total of 30, 900 in a state which two years ago cast 92,OOO votes.
 The explanation of the disparity is that the great majority of the voters of New Hampshire were either indif ferent to the proposed changes in their constitution, woman suffrage among them, or were unwilling to go to the trouble of voting. A like result at tended the recent submission of the high license amendments to the Yer mont constitution.
 No state in the country. perhaps, is more tenacious of its customs and tra- ditions than Vermont. For fifty years fully resisted constant assaults.
 Yet when in February the question of adopting a high license amendment or of maintaining the prohibition law was submitted to the voters, a small majority was recorded in favor of the project, but less than 300O0 voters par ticipated in a state the full vote Of which is 5000.
 The record of all American states on similar propositions is the same-a rec ord of the indifference of q majority of the electors. The record of American cities on like questions is the same.
 In the city of Chicago last year 2SO,- 900 votes were cast, but on the question of the issuance of bonds by the city of Chicago less than 100000 votes were boiled and on the question of the di rect election of United States senators similar number. There was submit ted at the same time to the voters O.: Chicago the question whether or no, they favored referendum for all pub lie questions. In all 27,000 voters were recorded against it and SO,OOO did not take the trouble to declare themselves one way or the other.
 In the whole state of Illinois there were 519,OOO votes on the referendum question: 340,OOO voters in that state did not take the trouble to record themselves in favor of the proposition, which is constantly asserted by it's advocates is of such overshadowins political importance that whole com munities are clamoring for the oppor- tunity of taking the settlement of pub lie questions into their own hands.
 Wherever American states in recent years have altered. or have voted upon the question of altering, their consti- tutions even in matters of great public importance, it has been found that |, large number of voters are entirely indifferent to the question, or, if not indifferent, are satisfied to abide by the whose interest has been aroused.

Finally the piece Is bent down into
