wanted No Partner,

One of the many odd incidents that
marked the life of the late George
Francis Train. the noted inancier, was
told in the hotel corridor of the Wal
ton Hotel the other night, says the
Philadelphia Press.
When Train was very much in the
public eye a few years ago." said the
speaker, Steve Brodie, the bridge
jumper. had reached the hight of his
renown and was making money out
of his saloon. He wished to increase
his pile and he conceived an idea to
have someone write a play. the feature
of which was to be a scene where the
hero would leap from the Brooklyn
bridge.
Brodie wrote to Train, who at the
time was getting more space in the
news columns of the papers than any
other person. He proposed that they
form a partnership in the prospective
melodrama, and that both Of them APP
pear in the play as stars, dividing
equally the proceeds of their venture,
which Brodie told Train would amount
to hundreds of thousands.
The eccentric financier did not know
Brodie, and the unique and character
istic reply that he sent to him was
Shown by the bridge jumper with an
air Of injured pride. Here it is:
Mr.. Brodie: No, thanks. I've
always been the whole show myself

A COOP SANITARY MEASURE,

In the February Sanitarian DIR. L. c.
LeTIardy of this city has an interesting
and instructive article on the "Impor-
lance of Food Inspection as Sanitary
Measure" We do not intend to re-
view is or make a synopsis
of it's leading features. Our purpose
is simply to call attention of the pub
lie, and especially of the authorities, to
the article so that the Importance Of
pure food and medicines may be better
understood, and the authorities may
be spurred on in their efforts to pre-
vent unwholesome articles of food from
being sold In the markets and impure
medicines from being put into pre-
Scriptions.
DIR. LeHardy is of the opinion that
to impure milk and the eating of spoil
ed meats and fish, of stale vegetables
and of fermenting or decaying fruits.
may be attributed most of the summer
complaints common to infants and
children and much among adults. He
believes also that very large per
cent Of all heinous crimes is due to
the effects of vile liquors He gives II
as the experience of physicians that
want of success in treatment of cases
of sickness is due to the inertness,
substitution or adulteration of the
medicines dispensed.
The point that DIR. LeHardY makes
is that the effect of wholesome foods
and pure medicines would be to lift the
people TO a high plane of health and
morality. and that it is as much the
duty of the authorities to see that only
pure foods are sold in the markets and
pure drugs in the drug stores as it is
to see that society is protected against
criminals of various kinds.
He points out that certain diseases
that are due to Accommodations of filth.
bad drainage and bad water disappear
with the introduction of good sewers,
good drainage and good water. other
diseases would disappear il only
wholesome foods were obtainable and
still others would quickly yield to
treatment II the medicines dispensed
were pure. Therefore he is for rigid in
spection all along the line.
1t will be admitted that DR.. Leaardy
is right about It, There has been a
good deal Of pure food and pure med
icine legislation, but unfortunately,
owing to the lack of proper inspec-
ton, the public isn't properly protect
ed against unwholesome foods and i'm.
pure medicines.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Ledger says: THE
American Newspaper Publishers Asso-
citation proposes to try conclusions with
the monopoly by appealing to the Fed
eral antitrust laws and by agitat ton
for the reduction Of the duties on paper
and pulp. A substantial fund is to be
raised in aid of the movement. This
is a matter of far-reaching Importance,
not only to the newspaper publishers,
but to the vast reading public who will
be benefited by a reduction of the tax
on intelligence"
The Memphis Commercial-Appe
(Dem) says: Our attitude towards
the free silver issue is purely com
mon sense attitude. In this instance
we are simply following the path mark
ed out by nature. Every man of
course meets with certain bereave-
ments and he mourns his dead: but
he is not. unless he is insane, apt to
deny that they are not still in the flesh
II Is all well enough to cherish the
memory of the dead. but there is no
reason why the Democratic party
should tie itself to the corpse. -

Painful Situation.

The train on which the distinguished
citizen was travelling for the purpose of
fulfilling lecture engagement was
late, and he arrived at his destination
only an hour or two before the time
appointed for the meeting, says the
Chicago Tribune.
He went straight to a hotel and was
shown UP to his room.
He was tired and dusty

The boy went to execute the mission,
and few moments later a committee
from the local society under whose
auspices he was to appear called upon
him in his room
He was comforting with the commit

THE BRYAN-HEARsT CoMBINATIoy.

The Bryan Hearst combination seems
to be making some friends. No one is,
of course. in a position to say how
great its strength is or how great II
will be by the time of the meeting
of the st. Louis convention. From a
number of states comes the report that
Mr.. Hearst is making a big fight for
delegates.
The Courier-Jour of Louisville
practically admits he will have the
Kentucky delegation. 1t says: 1.-THE
Hearst barrel is already on tap in
Kentucky. The Governors machine is
reasonably intact. We see no reason
why the combination shouldn't prove
all powerful. There is not likely to be
anybody to resist it," In another part
Of its article It says: ut is not the
intention of the Courief-J Journal to
make war on the Governor. Nor shall
1t be its purpose to raise hand
against his plan of sending a Bryan
Hearst delegation to the National Con-
vention.''
From the foregoing it would seem
that the Governor and his friends have
practically agreed that the Kentucky
delegation shall be for Mr.. Hearst, and
according to the Courier-Journal they
will doubtless be successful in carry
ing out their plans.
Doubtless we shall soon be hearing OF
the Bryan Hearst combination in other
states. Comparatively little has APP
peared in the newspapers yet as to the
candidates which are favored, but those
who are travelling Through the states
are impressed by the fact that they
hear good deal of talk In favor OF
Mr.. Hearst.
1t is probable that Mr.. Hearst has
agents at work all through this state,
combining their efforts to those sections
where Mr. Bryan was most popular
four years ago. In the Georgia cities,
however, there doesn't appear to be
much Hearst sentiment, though 1t may
be stronger among those who are ac-
lively engaged in political work than
it is generally supposed to be.
But what is particularly surprising
is the intimatiou thrown out by the
Courier-J Journal that Mr.. Bryan will
dominate the st. Louis convention. II
says: Truth to say. if we are to lose
another presidential election through
the agency of Mr.. Bryan. let Mr.. Bryan
and his friends carry the whole re-
sponsibility." The Courier-Journal APP
pears to have abandoned the fight be-
fore It has fairly begun.

The Chicago Tribune tells an inter-
esting story of Mckinley and Hanna.
In 1897, before MeKinley's Inaugural
of going into the cabinet as Secretary
of the Treasury. But Mr.. Mckinley
declined to make the appointment,
giving as the reason that Mr.. Hanna
had no experience as a public speak
er." 1t seems there was no question
about his ability as a financier, but a
public speaker was wanted in every
cabinet place, if possible. 1t transpired
later, however, that Mr.. Mckinley un-
derestimated Mr. Hanna's ability as a
talker.
