THE GEN. sLoCUm DISASTER.

The terrible disaster in New York
harbor yesterday. on the steamboat
Gen. slocum, will send a thrill of hor-
ror through the country. 1t appears
likely that 1t will nearly approach in
number of victims the horror of the
Iroduois theater, Chicago on Dec. 30
last. Nearly 450 deaths have already
been counted and the number may
be increased. Many of the vic
Tins were little children, to whom
panic and then death came swiftly in
the midst of their frolicking. They
were out on a Sunday-school picnic,
with their mothers, teachers and
friends, and had given themselves over
to the enjoyment of the occasion. Be
fore anybody had time TO realize the
calamity that was impending the boat
was in flames. and there remained to
many only choice of death by fire or
by water. Broadly on the face of the
story it would seem that there had
been monstrous negligence somewhere.
The laws governing the operations of
steamboats, are very strict and COM
prehensive. When they are strictly
complied with the danger of disaster is
minimized. 1t is to the credit of the
steamboat service. and the steamboat
inspection service, that the loss Of lives
on steamboats, per year is very small
in comparison with the number of pas
| sengers carried. But there must have
been some laxity Of observance of the
regulations on the Gen. Slocum. An
investigation into the disaster will, of
course, be held and the blame will be
| put where it belongs.

Prof. Baih, of the chair of botany
of the University of Tennessee, has
had a big task assigned to him; one
however, in which it is sincerely hoped
he will win success. Under the aus
pieces of the federal Department OF
Agriculture he has been directed to
produce an. early variety of cotton
which viii mature before the boil Vice.
vii arrives. A second order is that
he produce variety of cotton with
seeds high in oil contents. Both of
these things are highly desirable. and
if Prof Balm can produce them he
will be entitled to the profound thanks
of the cotton planters, besides a sub
stantial honorarium from the depart
ment.

THE HAIR BRUSH
Breeds Dandruff, Which Causes Fall
ing Hair and Finally Badness.

Prof. Unna, Hamburg, Germany,
European authority on skin diseases,
says that dandruff is as contagious as
any other malevolent disease, and
that one common source OF the spread
of dandruff is the use Of the same
hair brush by different persons The
way to avoid catching dandruff or any
other disease from another's brush, is
to insist on the use of Newbro's Herpi-
eide. 1t not only kills the dandruff
germ, but IT is also an antiseptic that
will prevent the catching of any dis
ease whatever through contagion of
another's brush. Sold by leading

,NsTRI,cTEp DELEGATIONS.

The fact that Virginia and Ken
lucky didn't instruct for Judge Parker
is being used as an argument against
the probability of his being nominated.
1t is being said that the Democrats Of
these and other states in which the
delegates were not instructed are not
particularly partial to Judge Parker
and will not help to nominate him I'M
less they become convinced that he is
the strongest man that can be named
to head the presidential ticket. 1t is
probable that there is truth in this
statement. The Democrats want ia
win the election, and, hence, they are
looking out for the man they believe
can poll the largest vote. Here in
Georgia il is believed that Judge
Parker possesses more strength as a
candidate than any man that has yet
been named in connection with the
nomination. In Kentucky, and prob
ably in Virginia, there may be doubt
that he is the strongest candidate.
Still, the delegates from those states
are open to conviction, and will gladly
vote for him il they become convinced.
But there will be so many views at
st. Louis that it is about as easy for
a delegate 10 make up his mind as TO
which OF the candidates is the most
available before he goes TO ST. Louis
as It is after he gets there. Therefore.
most OF the delegates will have prac-
tically picked their candidate before
leaving their homes. though they may
not name him before the assembling OF
the convention.
OF course the instructed delegates
will vote as they are instructed, and

it looks now as If the great majority
Of the uninstructed delegates would
vote for Judge Parker mainly for the
reason that it appears now and will
appear at st. Louis that he is by far
the most available candidate. That be-
ing the case there isn't much reason
for doubling at this time that he will

The Declaration of Independence
holds it to be a "self-evident truth"
that "all men are created equal" Rev.
Frank w. Gunsaulus, of Chicago, de-
cfares that there was never a more
interesting falsehood." Addressing the
graduating class of Armour Institute
along this line the other day, he said
in part THE Declaration of indie
pendence was the work of an hour
of intense excitement, and on every
national anniversary this phrase is mis-
quoted. because when it is taken from
it's context 1t is false. Freedom is
something to be won. Men are not
born free. Every power into whose
control man comes is a conquered
freedom. There are no equals in
this universe of Gods. God is no
socialist"

Oficials of the St. Louis Exposition
are congratulating themselves upon
having passed through what they be-
lieve will be the four hardest weeks
of the exposition's existence. During
these first four weeks the paid admis-
sions amounted to 542,02S, or a little
more than $4,000 a day. If the EXPOSE
ton is to pay back the money it Dor
rowed from the government, it must
have during the remainder of it's term
a paid admission average Of not less
than 100000 per month, including
half-tickets. Should this exposition fail
of the expectations that are entertain
ed for it, the probabilities are that it
would be half a century, or even long
er, before another exhibition nearly
approaching it in scope of complete
ness would be attempted.

THE FRIAR LANDS.

The question of the friar lands in the
Philippines hasn't been. settled yet 1t
is hoped, however, by those who have
the matter in charge that it will be
settled within the next six months.
1t is understood that the lands con-
tain about 391, 900 acres The price to
be paid for them in $7,239, 7S4, or about
worked directly by the friars, but the
greater part were worked by tenants,
of which there are between 10000 and
10000. There is a prospect of trouble
with some of these tenants. They
have occupied the lands so long that
they think they own them, or at least
they are pretending they do
1t is said that in all such cases the
claim set up is quietly submitted to
the courts. 1t seems that the United
States will accept no lands to which the
friars cannot give a clear title. And
even when the title is declared to be
good it is probable the United States
viii have trouble in getting possession.
1t is believed that the friars were
prepared to accept $6,O00,000 for the
lands, and would have taken $4,000. 900
if they found they couldn't get any
more. They asked $4,000. 900, and Judge
Taft offered them less than half what
they asked.
OF course 1t is the purpose of the
United States to sell the lands to those
x4sha xua,f than, an far,,,ars xvhnsa y,,,e.
pose IL is to cultivate them. They
will not be sold to specializing syndi-
Gates. No doubt capitalists of this
country would be glad TO buy the best
of them at the price the government
gave for them and hire the Filipinos at
low wages to work them. There would
be money in them under such condi-
tions, but the government wants them
to be occupied by small farmers, and
IL is probable that the present tenants
will become the purchasers of the
greater part of them.
Most of the friars have left the is
lands. OF the 1,Ol3 on the islands in
1898 only about 200 remain, and they
are all in Manila. They dare not go
into the country. The people hate them
so bitterly that their lives wouldn't be
safe away from Uncle Sans protec-
ton. The American priests who have
taken their places are very popular.
The people have no objection TO the
Catholic religion. They simply objected
to the Spanish friars. who, according
/ to accounts were the real rulers Of the
islands and were excessively cruel.

There Is much discussion as to why
Cardinal setolli is in this country.
The cardinal himself has said that
he is here for a vacation of six months.
This, it seems, should be accepted as
satisfactory explanation, but some
churchmen. of Philadelphia persist In
believing that he is here on a secret
mission. The Press quotes priest as
saying: II have no doubt that the
cardinal has another purpose in COM
ing to this country besides recreation.
1t is preposterous to think of such a
thing as a cardinals taking a six
months vacation. But evidently he
wishes his mission kept secret, for it
Is possible that were it made known
1t might not be accomplished. We're
certain of one thing, and that is that

Born Among the Bullrushes.

There is a variety of grebe (colym-
bus minor) which matches it's young on
a regular raft. It's nest is a mass OF
strong stems of aquatic plants closely
fastened together. These plants con-
tain a considerable quantity Of air IN
their cells and set free gases in the
process of decaying. The air and the
gases imprisoned in the plant make
the nest lighter than water. The bird
usually sits quietly on its eggs, but II
any intruder approaches or any dan
ger is feared the mother plunges one
foot in the water. and. using it as q
paddle, transports her floating nest
to a distance, often dragging along with
it a sheet of water plants. A natur-
alist who frequently watched this re-
markable removal says: "The whole

Cnnlil Not BE Fooled.

Miss Elizabeth Alden Curtis, the
talented niece of United States Attor-
ney General Griggs, and one Of the
latest versifiers Of the Rubaiyat, has
a penchant for scientific pursuits, and
takes great pleasure in mountain
climbing, forest searching and geolo-
giving. says the Philadelphia Post.
Last summer, while ~rusticating at
Lake George, she went walking with
a party of friends, chiefly college men
and women, and came across some or
the beautiful minerals which abound
in that district. They picked u a
number of specimens which they car
ried back to the hotel. Here they tx
hibited their treaSure-trOve to the
other guests, more especially a piece
of rose quartz, in which were many
flakes of plumbago. Miss Curtis, after
explaining, left the veranda, giving
the quartz to a benevolent looking,
specialized old lady. She had scarcely
departed when the latter, who had
been scratching the specimen with her
scissors, broke out: That girl IL
either fooling us Or else she is crazy.

And Alan smoked, and they made

talked of the folly OF married men and
women who go their separate ways,
not recognizing the divinely blessed
link between husband and wife. And

they were nearer to each other than
they had ever been before. 1t had

And then they drove home again to-

necessary, seeing that he had spent a
good many hours doing nothing but
making love to Joyce. And on the
morrow he had forgotten the strange
turn that the woman had given him.
Nothing happened during the next
fortnight, which went all too slowly
for him, until his wedding day. On
the contrary, each day his heart be-
came lighter, and he looked forward
each day to that which would see the
consummation of his dearest desires.
And so the wedding day came, and
| Alan forgot everything but that the
sweetest woman in the world was go
ing to belong to him from that day
forward forevermore. His responses
rang out clear and fluent, as did hers.
He forgot Hutchinson and Hutchin-
sons enigmatic prophecy-that there
might be a strange wedding guest
though he could not have known that
Hutchinson had changed his mind. and
that there would be no strange we'd
ding guest that day.
He forgot everything. save that the
time WAS coming nearer and nearer
when the carriage door would be closed
behind him and Joyce, and he would
whisk her off, his own dear bride. And
it is no eXaggeration to say that the
sun had never shone on two happier
people than Alan and Joyce Macke0.

A Farmer Found Il.

Mount Pleasant, Utah, May 23.-To
fnd a medicine that will cure every
ailment due to diseased or ~disordered
Kidneys has been the aim of many
physicians and chemists.
Mr.. C. E. Peterson, a farmer of this
place, says he has found such a rem
edy and that he has tried 1t with sue.
cess in his owl case. Mr.. Peterson
says the remedy Is Dodd's Kidney
Pills, a medicine introduced here
about months ago.
II am glad to be allowed to testify
to what good things Dodd's Kidney
Pills have done for me. I used this
remedy for Kidney trouble and II
cured me completely.
Il can heartily recommend Dodd's
Kidney Pills to all who suffer with any
kind Of Kidney trouble.
Mr.. Peterson's case Is only one Of
many just as convincing that have
been reported recently. This new rem
edy seems to have conquered Rheu
matism completely, not a single case
having been reported where Dodd's
Kidney Pills have failed to cure per
fectly and permanently. -.
