Champe S. Andrews, a New York
lawyer, found waiting in his office for
him a client named Hulett, from Og-
densburg. says the New York Times.
According to Mr.. Huletts previous ac-
count of some tangles. which he wanted
Andrews to straighten out, he had been
victimized by shrewd and unscrupulous
lawyers in the vicinity of his home
town. Therefore he had small re-
gard for members of the bar as a
class.

Enrag ed at being publicly affronted
the judge stopped proceedings at once
and sentenced the offensive witness to
three days imprisonment for contempt
of court
Pardon me-" said the incorrigible
witness, but, if you know anything OF
law, you must know that you cannot
sentence me unless you obtain the con-
sent of the other judges
This was true. and the judge hurried
off to get his colleagues consent. In
half an hour. however, he returned and
coldly informed the smiling witness
that his colleagues did not agree with
him and that consequently he need
not consider himself under arrest.

PARKER STEADILY GAINING.

The action of the Indiana Demo
Gratis in naming Parker delegates TO
the st. Louis Convention greatly in
creases Judge Parker's chances for be-
! ing the Democratic nominee for Presi-
| dent. Mr.. Hearst and the friends of
| Mr.. Bryan made a strong fight for
! delegates opposed TO him. They thought
| if they could beat him in Indiana they
! could prevent him from getting even
d majority of the ST. Louis Convention.
Their defeat in that state means their
defeat at st. Louis.
The fact that Mr.. Hearst got the
Iowa delegation has been pointed TO
as an indication that Judge Parker
| was losing ground. 1t was Mr.. Bry-
ans influence that gave the delegation
of that state to Mr.. Hearst. Without
| that influence Mr.. Hearst couldn't have
obtained it. And it is worthy of no
tice that Mr.. Bryan's influence is chief
~ in those states which are Republi-
can. Therefore he ought not to have
much influence in making the national
platform and ticket.
OF course Mr.. Hearst hasn't any
ground for expecting the presidential
nomination. His friends in Texas prac-
tically admit that by saying they pro-
pose to help nominate Mr.. Folk, of
Missouri, if they succeed in having
Hearst delegates chosen in their state.
With the friends and followers of Mr..
Bryan and Mr.. Hearst it is anybody
to beat Judge Parker. And. strange
as it may seem, Mr.. Roosevelts friends
are as eager to prevent the nomination
of Judge Parker as Mr. Bryan and
Mr. Hearst are. Why is it that the
administration wants to prevent the
nomination of Judge Parker? Is it not
because they believe he is the strong
est man the Democrats could nomi-
nate? Are they not practically salts
fed that, if nominated, he would car
ry New York? There certainly can
be no other reason.
Mr.. Roosevelt's principal New York
organ is now saying in its Washing
ton correspondence that the Demo-
Gratis of the South are turning away
from Judge Parker and are advocat-
ing the nomination of John Sharp Will
liams. of Mississippi, the minority
leader of the House. Mr. Williams is
an able man and is popular in the
South but it has been only a few
days since Mr. Williams said it wou dn't
be advisable to nominate a Southern
man for President this year 1t is
doubtful if the Presidents newspaper
organs have heard of any movement
in the South for the nomination of
Mr.. Williams. What they are trying
to do is to defeat the nomination of
Judge Parker, to sow dissension in
the ranks of Democracy and to pre-
vent the nomination of a strong Demo-
cratic ticket. The indications are now
that they will not succeed. The fact
that Democratic states are choosing
Parker delegates shows what the
Democratic National Convention is
likely to do.

TRIB1TEs TO HENRY VI. STANLEY.

] 1HAbtIES TO HENRY vi. STANLEY.
/ Notwithstanding the fact that nearly
quarter OF a century has elapsed
since Henry NJ Stanley was promi-
nently before the world, the newspa-
pers and periodicals are paying gen
| erous tributes to his memory. In fact.
except within the immediate circle of
his acquaintance in England, he had
| been almost forgotten. The an
! nouncement OF his death in the dis
patches on last Wednesday. however,
served to recall his remarkable ca
| reer.
1t is about thirty-three years since
he started to find the explorer,
Livingstone, who was supposed to be
somewhere in the interior of Africa,
if Nill alive. of which there was
| much doubt. AT that time compare
| lively nothing was known of that vast
continent, with the exception of por-
tons Of its coast territory. At Fan
zibar he organized an expedition, pene-
trated the wilderness for hundreds of
miles, and, after overcoming difficulties
that would have caused a less deter
mined man to turn back, found Liv-
ingstone.
That deed made him famous. On his
return to England his story Of his sue
cess was doubted until he showed
Livingstone's diary and produced let
ters from him, and then all sorts of
honors were showered upon him.
He 1ad ofbap ayBadf4ioOS info frira
and made discoveries which were of
great benefit to the world. 1t may be
said that he was the founder of the
Congo State, which, though 1t doesn't
amount to a great deal yet, will some
day contain a large population of civ
ilized and prosperous people. 1t is a
rich country, and with good govern
ment. it's resources would be rapidly
developed.
Mr.. Stanley was an example of what
can be accomplished by ability, energy
and courage. He had no helping hand
III his struggle for fame and fortune.
He achieved both by his own un-
aided efforts. 1t is not even certain
who his parents were, nor where his
birthplace was. 1t is generally be-
lieved, however, that he was born at
Denbigh, Wales, and that the name of
his father was John Rowlands,
farmer. 1t is known that he spent
the greater part of his youth in the
ST. Asaph Union Workhouse. He left
that institution when about Is years
of age, and became a cabin boy on
schooner bound for New Orleans.
There he entered the employment of a
merchant named Henry NJ. Stanley. 1t
has been stated that he was adopted
by this merchant. 1t is certain that
he took his name.
Mr. Stanley was born in 1s41, and,
consequently, was about 20 years of
age when the Civil War began. He
enlisted in the Confederate army, was
taken prisoner and afterward volun
teered in the federal navy. Having
made a reputation as newspaper cor
respondent while travelling in various
countries, Mr.. Bennett of the New
York Herald selected him to Lead an
expedition to find Livingstone, the At
rican missionary and explorer.

WHY NOT A BUILDING LINEs

If the City Council has the right to
fix building line, as stated by an
eminent legal authority a few days ago,
it would seem as if there would be no
delay on the part of the Council in
taking that matter up. We are sure
that the Mayor and Council are as anx-
ious az the citizens generally are to do
whatever they can to increase the at
tractiveness OF the city. There is no
doubt that, if on the new streets. 1t
were required that all houses be placed
on line fixed by the city, a great inn
provement would be effected. The ap-
pearance of some of the new streets is
far from attractive, because some of
the houses are close on the sidewalks
while others are set back so as to leave
a space for flowers and grass in front
OF them.
And if the city has authority to es-
tablish a building line, why hasn't it
authority to require property owners
to plant trees in front of their lots?
Some property owners take pride in i'm
proving their property by planting
trees along the sidewalks while others
object to spending money for such a
purpose. 1t is impossible to Sc
cure uniformity IN this kind of i'm
tprovement without the city's assistance.
There is no way in which the city can
! be bcautifed so satisfactorily as by
means of trees, and the City Coun-
| ell therefore ought to use whatever
| authority it has in the direction of tree
| planting.

The Worlds Greatest
Skin HumOur.

The Only Sure Cure is
CutiCura.

II there were not another external
skin disease known, eczema would be q
sufficient infection on mankind. 1t per-
vades all classes, and descends impair
TALLY through generations. While some
are constantly enveloped in it, others
have it confined to small patches in the
ears. on the scalp, on the breast, on the
palms of the hands, on the limbs, ETC.,
but everywhere its distinctive feature is
small watery blister, which discharges
an acrid fluid, causing heat, inhamma-
ton, and intense itching, scaling and
crusting.
The Cuticura treatment is at once
agreeable, speedy, economical and COM
prehensive. Battle the affected parts
freely with hot water and Cuticura
Soap, to cleanse the surface of crusts
and scales, and soften the thickened
cuticle. Dry, without hard rubbing,
and apply Cuticura Ointment to allay
itching, irritation and Inflammation,
and soothe and heal, and, lastly, take
Cuticura Resolvent, or Pills, to cool and
cleanse the blood. This treatment af-
fords instant relief, permits rest and
sleep in the severest forms of eczema
and other itching, burning and scaly
humours, and points to a speedy, per-

A wORRiEH MAYOR.

Mayor Wells. of st. Louis, is in an
anxious state of mind. 1t is about
Forest Park-a park which the city
turned over to the exposition company
on condition that it would restore it
after it had served the exposition's
purposes. The exposition company
agreed to give good and sufficient
bond for carrying out its contract.
The bond has been offered to the
city, but the Mayor says it isn't sat
isfactory. In his opinion it doesn't
protect the city. What is he going
to do about it? That he doesn't know
yet. The exposition company says
practically. Well, what are you going
TO do about it?
The Mayor might probably get out
an injunction and close the gates of
the fair, but if he were to do that it
is probable that he would have the
whole city down on him. But it is his
duty to see that the city's interests
are cared for. After the exposition
is ended, IL the exposition company
doesn't restore the park, the people
of the city will want to know the
reason why, and they won't accept
any excuse.
He would be condemned If ne in
terfered with the fair now and he will
be blamed when the fair is over, if
the park is not fully restored in ac-
cordance with the contract. 1t is not
to be wondered at, therefore. that
he is worried He should have got
the bond before the exposition COM
pany got possession of the park
