A NEW DIsEAsEe

1t is the fashion these days to
discover new diseases and ailments of
the human ace. A good many Of
these are imaginary and many others
are simply giving new names to old
complaints. The latest thing in this
line Is a disease whicha British medi-
cal expert has discovered, or, perhaps,
it would be more correct to a in this
case, has invented. This new disease
IS Mental J%aundice, but it seems very
much like that old complaint which

recognized as existing when I'm the

The man who has made this discov-
cry or invented this new name. just
as you may choose, is a Londo spec
ialist on brain diseases.
This disease is said to be brought
on by worrying over triies. greed,
pride. prejudice, modification at not

worldly goods, striving after those
things which We a not and jealousy

effect a cure" but he does not say
what those rigorous remedies are. for
he knows that there is nothing in the
materia nedica, how known to heal
ers of the body CT yet to be discovered
by them, that will cure this disease.
The TACT hat he recommends no Ia
terial treatment for the cure of this
disease shows that he knows what he
is talking about when he declares the
existence of such malady and gives its
causes and describes it's symptoms.
He compares it to physical jaundice
in the following words:
Physical jaundice produces yellow
ness OF the skin, which after a while
becomes yellowness Of the eyes. This
produces a condition of the eye which
makes the patient see everything yell
low Mental jaundice is analogous.
Its victim sees nothing In it's true
colors or proportions. Every thing is
distorted by his diseased mental on
dition."
You who read this examine YOUR
selves and see If you are no. afflicted
with this baneful disease. You can
tell whether you have it or not if you
will be conscientious in your examina-
ton. 1t will not take an expert on
any subject to find out for you its
presence in your system.

THE FITNESS OF THINGS.

Louis G. Wilson. private secretary 10
District Commissioner West, is going
to invent new scheme for conducting
the messenger boy business. He be-
lieves the present system to be a pro-
vincial one.
This morning the door TO Mr.. Wilson s
office was showed open and an over
grown messenger boy. about six feet
tan and well proportioned. shuffled into
the room, carrying a tiny envelope con-
tanning a four word telegram. Having
obtained Mr.. Wilson's signature. the
elephantine youth shufied out again, to
continue his arduous duties.
Scarcely had Mr.. Wilson resumed his
work when the door was again opened
and a bundle. three feet in diameter.
came walking into the room. apparently
upon it's own legs. Mr.. Wilson's face
blanched When the bundle halted, and
a little peevish voice asked: is this
Commissioner Vests officer" The eau
tious private secretary approached the
bundle carefully. and looking over on
the side from whence came the loco
motion. discovered a diminuitive mes
senger boy, about two foot six high. by
a width of a dozen inches. Having
assured the lad that ne was in the right
place the latter dropped his burden, OBJ
tanned Mr.. Wilson's signal ure, and like
wise went on HIS way.

PARKER BOOM SHORTLY
TO SPRING INTO VIEW
His Friends Believe Announcement of Candidacy and State
ment of Principles Are Necessary to Success.

emissary in the person Of newspaper
man named Fleming has been sent forth
into the country to arouse further en-
thusiasm in the Parker boom, in order
that pressure from the outside may be
brought TO bear upon Tammany to ac-
cept and declare Parker as it's candi-
date. Now the country is looking to
Tammany to select a candidate, but
Tammany has no one 20 offer. at least
the organization is not decided upon any
one.
Leader Murphy stands by his decIara-
ton that IL Grover Cleveland were nom
mated he would lie elected. Everybody
knows that this is merely a blind on the
part Of Murphy. The chief Of the Four
teenth Street wigwam is too sagacious
a politician to believe for one instant
that the former President has any
chance of nomination or a show OF
election If nominated. He consequently
says Cleveland to avoid committing
htr7self 10 anyone else, and Z waiting
developments. The idea of Tammany
Hall supporting and demanding the
nomination Of Grover Cleveland is in it
self ridiculous, for the country has not
forgotten how bitterly Tammany fought
the nomination Of Cleveland I'm 1892 when
popular clamor forced his selection.
Mcclellan a Possibility.
There is a respectable contingent of
Democrats who believe that Leader Muir
phys favorite at the present time is
Mayor George B. Mcclellan, but that
he entertains some fears as to McCIel-
lan's eligibility, by reason of the fact
that he was born In Germany and spent
several years of hfE childhood abroad.
Then. too. there is the fear that some
thing might happen between now and
election day In connection with the adj
ministratiOn of the city government of
New York which might dwarf the pres
ent popularity of Mayor Mcclellan, al
though he has started of well In the
management of the affairs of the me-
tropolis.
But the Parker supporters hold TO the
idea that sufficient sentiment In his
favor may be aroused throughout the
country TO induce Tammany to take
up the judge as its candidate, which
would mean that he would unquestion-
ably be nominated. Judge Parker al
ready mas a considerable following in
the organization; yet this would, of
course, amount to nothing without the
approval of Murphy. Thus far MUIR
ply has never given expression to any
thing which might be construed as op-
posing Parker, but. on the other hand,
he has not given the iurist his in
dorsement BY holding TO Cleveland he
occupies a neutral position, where he
can jump to any candidate when the
proper time comes.
Already the Parker supporters have
taken steps to convince Mr.. Bryan that
he voted the regular ticket In 1896 and
in 1900. and now IL remains for them, If
successful in this. to bring such infiu-
epce from the outside TO bear upon
Tammany as viii induce that organiza-
ton TO give him favorable considerat ton.
From now on, therefore, there will be
more activity on the part of the Par
ker boomers. and it will be with the
consent and approval of their prin-
cipal

The CoaSting Question.
Can Children Be Provided With Place
to Coast in Safety?

Whenever a heavy snowfall comes
there is discussion in the cities about
children coasting in the streets. The
people in favor of this amusement ar
que that the children must have some
innocent sport and that older people
should make allowances. The people
opposed to it say that they cannot af-
ford to have their bones broken or
their horses famed in order that the
ehildren's sleds may have the freedom
of the street, and that it is not essen
tial to children's health to coast III the
street anyway, inasmueh as they get
along al right without that amuse
ment when the weather does not per-
NIT it. Others plead that special
coasting places be provided for the
children where they can do no harm.
This has been done in Boston and in
some other cities, certain streets being
reserved for the use of coasters.
1t is now argued that some such
plan might be adopted in Washing
ton. Something doubtless might be
done in that direction, but it viii be
hard to make the plan work as effec-
lively here as it does elsewhere. the
population is distributed over SD wide
an. area in proportion to its size that
nc coasting place which could be Sc
lected would crafty the desires oil
many children; and most parents have
a dislike to allowing their youngsters
to 90 any great distance from home
for such sport. Moreover, a general
eoasting place involves a mixture of
little children with the larger ones,
which is dangerous to the former, and
there are but few good coasting places
here, ewing to the level character OF
the ground.
It is, in fact, difficult to provide
for country amusements in the city,
and the city has as yet devised few
sports which are both entertaining
and faithful. What we need is good,
large gymnasiums for city children:
and p;tnty of them.
