EPISCOPAL CHURCH STRUCK BY LIGHT
 MING.
 Last week Thursday night, May 26, about 1O.3O o'clock the Episcopal church was struck by lightning and damaged to the amount of about $500, it is estimated. The bolt struck the steeple, tearing off shingles and sid ing and badly shattering it. After this it entered the edifice, tearing off considerable clustering at the south end of the church and splitting nearly every casing and each post. The plas- ter and splinters were thrown clear across the church and it was a sad looking sight as one looked at it Fri day morning. Although the shock was very heavy at the Center, and especial ly at the rectory, it was not discovered until Friday morning that the church had been struck by lightning. Services were held as usual in the church, last Sunday morning.

 Mrs Dora B. Frazier, of No. 140 AL thea street, Providence, Rhode Island, is to- day the very embodiment of vii vacity. She is an energetic forewoman in a large laboratory and shows no traces of her recent long struggle with nervous prostration succeeding typhoid pneumonia.
 My illness began in 1s98," says Mrs Frazier, land lasted for about three years in all, and for three months I was confined to my bed. 1 made oc- casional attempts to work, but 1 could only manage to put in two or three days out of week at the very best.
 Several times l was actually at the point of death.
 "I had agood physician but he could not succeed in getting me out of my weak state. It was hard for me to re- tain any food and my weight dropped down to seventy-tive pounds. had 8 great deal of dizziness and sutfOcating spells. One of my legs was swollen so as to interfere with my walking. l could get scarcely any sleep, my color was very pale and suffered from irreg- ularities that are very painful and de pressing to women.
 II dragged out month after month of such an existence. Then I read of Dr Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo- pie ina Providence paper and I thought I would just try them. Before l got through the first box I said to my mother: "Why, these pills are certain ly doing me good. We both grew hope full and kept on taking them steadily for six or seven months and then Occa. sionaly for some time longer, and al the time my troubles kept lessenine until at last they were gone altogether I got rid of indigestion, headaches nervousness, sleeplessness, dragging sensations and irregularities of ever! kind and my weight ran up thirty-twl pounds.
 "It is more than a year since tool up my full work and in all that tim, l have not lost day through illness Dr Williams Pink Pills have made m a we'll woman and I have no lack O strength or cheerful spirits"
 Dr Williams Pink Pills are spe cific for all diseases of the blood an' nerves. They are sold'by all druggist throughout the world.

LOOKING FOR woRK-sU1o1DE.

Hardly a day passes that one does
not read Of some poor man who has
been looking for work in vain, until
in desperation lie ends his life with a
little poison, a gun or a jump into the
stream, whose waters seem peaceful
and inviting Looking for work, and
unable to find it. Carlyle said that
was the most pathetic thing in all the
world. Think of i'll Men going with
out place to sleep, going hungry, 60
ing madl Does it no. give some of
our dollars criminal lookP
Not until men change may we look
for a change in material conditions,
but one sincerely hopes that men will
change some day. One hopes that the
spectacle of men going without a bed,
going hungry and going mad, until at
last the friendliest looking thing in
sight 10 a gun, package marked "poi-
son." or the cold waters of running
stream, will some day be thing OF
the past. Let any man stop to con-
slider for a moment that this condition
may be his some day, or, if not his,
the condition of his son or brother, and
there will be more sympathy in every
community for the man who is not
prosperous. 1t is ones duty to see
that every man who wants to be
factor , and not a cipher, a worker and
not drone, in the industrial world
shall have an opportunity. The world
owes none of us living, but it does
owe every one of us an opportunity to
make living.

ROOSEVELT AND THE ELECTION

Probably no act of Theodore Roose'
welt gave him more pleasure while
governor than the signing Of certain
laws relating to the control of the
schools of Greater New York. These
laws, which emancipated the educa-
tional system Of the metropolis from
the control of Tammany Hall, were
naturally opposed by Tammany' may
or, Robert II. Van Wyck, and the laws
were passed and signed over his veto.
They provided for an amended char.
ter, which included the raising of the
standard to be maintained in the mat
ter of salaries by all grades of In
structors. This charter also provided
for a uniform and businesslike method
of conducting the schools of Greater
New York in each and every depart
ment, and for a businesslike admins
tration of funds. A uniform schedule
for the supervising and teaching staff
was also adopted, and is maintained to
this day. The increase of salaries was
on an equitable basis, and that, too,
has been maintained to this day.
Principals and teachers have been en-
plOyed upon certificates testifying to
experience as well as ability, and
since the passage of the socalled Davis
Educational Bill the schools of Great
er New York, have been conducted as
have the schools of the rest of the
state, upon a basis of absolute fair
ness toward both instructors and schol-
ars, as well as taxpayers.
This law, in which Governor Roose-
welt took so deep an interest, and the
passage of which he insisted upon in
spite of the veto of Tammany's may
or, and which he was enabled to sign, |
was simply one of those many laws
which Governor Roosevelt was en-
abled to see enacted for the better
ment of the conditions of the so-called |
laboring people of New York City,
not only as regards their salaries, but
their conditions of work as well. and
this characteristic Of Governor Roose-
velt has continued to be an individual

THE POWER OF A GOOD WOMAN.

Yes, Joseph Folk, the man who has
beaten boodleism in st. Louis, is a
great man, says an exchange.
But there is an element that has
dropped out of the Doodle cases that
show more strength for good than a
thousand Joe Folks.
Charles F. Kelley, boodler, made such
humiliating confession that one would
think that never again could he walk
before the eyes of honest men. He
was eold-blooded robber for years,
and now he says: 81 could no longer
remain silent. My wife urged me to
make a full confession and attempt to
undo the harm l have done"
The power of a good woman again!
II has been shown in half a dozen of
the Doodle cases.
Women's love is stronger than the
affection of men, purer and holier. The
man comes to her. His face is hag-
gard and his eyes troubled. There is
that in his breast that has been eating
for years-the knowledge that he is
scoundrel. Harder than all else, more
terrible than penitentiary sentence,
is his task to look into her face and
tell HER that the man she loves is un-
worthy.
That is what Charles Kelley had to
do, and what his wife did is what
women do in the great majority of
eases. She forgave and then arrayed
herself on the side of right. She was
willing to remain the wife of penitent
thief; to share the ignominy and scorn
that will follow him all of his days;
to endure privation and suffering all
to make her husband an honest man
again.
Don't imagine that women do not
appreciate the gravity of crimes such
as were committed by Kelley and his
associates. They do They hate wrong
as man does not know how to hate it. |
They love virtue as a mans nature |
prohibits his loving it. The human
who confesses that he is a thief to his
wife would iuAiet less physical agony |
did he stab her in the heart.
But they also love, and loving they |
forgive, and forgiving they endure
and the cause of RIGHT finds a power
full ally wherever good woman is
found.

courage crime, The good wives of men
who have gone wrong have done more

rict Court, on the adoption of the pres
ent state Constitution, was so secure
that he would probably not have been
disturbed up to the present day had he
chosen to retain it.
The reputation by such a Democrat
of the head of his party ticket means
something, for it is only against the
partys Presidential candidates that he
diseriminates. In announcing his de-
termination to vote for Roosevelt and
Fairbanks he says he expects "to vote
the rest of the Democratic ticket to
the end
McNeal's reasons for supporting
Roosevelt are noteworthy. He says
"The people have, I believe, more to
hope for from Roosevelt than from
Parker" While he recognizes that
the latter is 'an excellent man and ga
wise Judge" he also realizes that ga
man cannot escape his environment, F"
and believes that Parker will be large
ly controlled by Belmont, Pierpont
Morgan and the class responsible for
and controlling the great trusts,
"whose interests are not with but
rather opposed, to the interests of the
people. He bears the significant tes-
timony, moreover, that Roosevelt has
shown himself more or less independ
ent of this crowd,' and that the peo-
pie "have more to hope for from him
than from Parker" Judge McNealy
is fair representative of the more
thoughtful and intelligent Democrats,
who will not allow themselves to be
carried off blindly by party prejudice
and his course is good indication that
this class is wisely slipping away from
its party ties this year in it's support
Of the national ticket.-San Francisco
