The funds of this organization are
entirely exhausted Through this notice
we ask for donations of money for the
society's work. All such donations,
whether large or small, may be left with
the Treasurer. Mr.. Samuel ZONES, at
"Iones & Franklin on Main street.
AT a meeting of the District Visitors,
held two weeks ago. il was decided, in
the future. to give help only TO the sick
and aged, together with such cases as
may be recommended by the patrons of
the churches in the city. The Associat-
ed Charities is non sectarian organiza-
ton. and the city is divided into districts
each Of which is in charge of a District
Visitor who is responsible for all cases
falling in her District. There are about
twenty District Visitors. Organized as
above stated il becomes most valuable
and efficient means of rendering aid in
any great and general distress. and for
this reason alone it deserves the sup
port of our citizens. and It is to be hoped
that the public viii respond to this call.

Perhaps you have never thought of i,
but the fact must be apparent to every
one that constipation is caused by lack
of water in the system. and the use OF
drastic cathartics like the old fashioned
pills only makes a bad matter worse

taken their action IS so natural that one
can hardly realize it is the effect OF a

We hear much about the money

that is indeed consideration, a most

the largest item in the bill; it is a

That item Is character cost To re-

do not tell the story, historians hide

Is frightful. And the poison spreads

German health officers who have
been investigating conditions in the
railroad trains of that country have
arrived Of the rather surprising con-
clusion rnat one runs more risk in
travelling second class on the rail-
ways of the empire than in taking
third-class carriages. The reason for
this is that the third-class cars have
uncushioned wooden benches, which do

When reason exists for the creation
Of special schools in crowded cities
they will serve for the continuous
widening Of the energies of the uni

life in the city is drawback; It
leads to mental and sometimes moral
dissipation; its distraction, its racket,
its hustle operate against that concen-

American Consul Describes Conditions

A story of sickness, hunger and
starvation has come to the state de-
partment from Thomas H. Norton, the
American consul at Harput, in a re-
port upon the condition of the Sassun
population in the Mush district. The
consul says Of the 10000 survivors Of

usually following upon fright, expos

Not long ago the vocation of the
street musician was regarded as a
plea for aims. In England it became
a kind of pension for old soldiers, who.
incapacitated by their wounds for
manual labor, were especially licensed
by the police as street musicians. Now
it is a pursuit recognized as legitimate

ly the street musician had no abiding
place on earth Now he has his reg.
ular route, and his regular patrons.
Though he may be exiled for a tims
from his native land, he has a homs
of his own in that quarter of the city
where the people of his race abide;
and, by the prestige he has among his
neighbors, he may be said to dwell on
the sunny side of miniature Olyxa

90 the west. In Asia travelling musi
clans, singers, and jugglers play a
religious and a military part. The
blind Chinese singers are objects OF
yeneration. In Egypt and India
musicians are indispensable to wed,

the gren banner Of the prophet to
call Mohammedans to holy war, drum
mers accompany the heralds who visit
the various villages and proclaim the
rulers will.
A review of all the street musicians

interesting spectacle.

her band Of singers, closely followed

kinds of musical instruments. France

muse players, bringing tunes from the
depths Of the forests, where the wood
cutters preserve unchanged the melo-
dies OF old France. Italy comes next
with her Roman pifferari, her hand
organ, and her famous one man or
chestra, who plays a drum with his
elbows, cymbals with his foot, and a
bagpipe or flute with his lips and
hands, while his head shakes the bells
of a Chinese chime. And, after Italy,
Spain trips along with her guitar
players, her tambourines and casta-
nets.
Ireland and Wales have harps, Of
the form and proportions which have
come to be recognized the world over
as national. Scotland, too, has her
harp, and the famous bagpipe which
Mary Queen Of Scots introduced into
the country from France. Russia fol-
lows with her horns, and her bass
singers, Poland with her pipes. And
after them are the Hungarian gypsies,
who are wont to gather on the railway
stations of their native country and to
greet incoming trains with fiery melo-
lies.
