Some person writing in the Chris
tian Advocate last week under the
head 1.-The Plague of the Chicken
Heart" the object of which article
seems to be to saddle the responsibility
for Kennedy's escape upon the Gov.
ernor, in part says:
We sadly need the addition of a new
petition to the prayer book. After
From lightning and tempest; from
plague, pestilence and famine; from
battle and murder and from sudden
death, we need to add: From silly
women and sickly preachers and senti-
mental governors, and chicken hearted
judges and juries, good Lord deliver
u.s."
Had be added himself to the list we
think the petition would have been
complete. 1t is plain to be seen that
the Great Judge, in order that no mis-
takes may be made, will need the ser.
vices of this party in handling the
thrOng before him on Judgment Day.

convincing proof that the kidneys and blad-
der are out of order.
What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
OF the urinary passage. 1t corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of LIQUOR,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to 20 often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.

The declas for Judge Parker in
New York is not declaration for
Parker, it is declaration against Mr.
Hearst. Mr.. Hearst is going ON get
ting delegates and creating organiza-
ton, and it was felt by those wise
prophets in New York who wish al
ways to run the Democratic party by
using 1t as they please, that the day for
action was at band, so they took up
Parker, much as the fellow used the
stick to hit the other fellow. So he
hit the other fellow he didn't care d.
what became of the stick. New 7 Ork
feels that she must name the man, but
she does admit that just now she is
sorely put TO. to present a candidate
from that State for the presidency
who will suit others as we'll as Wall
Street. Cleveland was tried, but the
machine broke cog IN an effort to
thresh out enthusiasm. Then it began
on Parker, but the broken cog wheel
still gave trouble. Still they put Par
ker in and he has been ground out and
a sorry mess they seem to have made
of it. Not a shout has been heard and
they have product on their hands
the true brand of which they cannot
publish. They are whispering to the
Wall Street crowd "Parker's all right, y
and shouting to the rank and file,
"P arker was regular in 1896 and 1900. "
This may be so, but we would like to
know it from better sources than any
we have yet heard it from. We look
for these same people to make the mis-
take of jumpin g upon Mr.. Bryan with
both feet, and also damning Hearst,
and when they do there will be trouble
sure enough. 1t is only small choice
between Republicanism and those who
follow Cleveland and whom the CIeve-
land advocates would name, and many
Democrats would about as soon vote
for one as the other, if not little soon-
er. 1t therefore becomes very impor
tant for New York if she wants to have
the Democratic party behind her, to
act decently and respectfully toward
the voters. They have not forgotten
how New York, when she did not get
just exactly what she wanted in 1896
and 1900, traitorously turned tail and
ran; they have not forgotten that New
York goes Democratic when it suits
her and only when it suits her. So the
same Independence is reserved to the
people from other parts of the coun.
try, and they will certainly exercise it
as soon as they are assured that New
York is working the Democratic party
to free New York from the evils she
has inflicted by her own party treach.

Six Persons Were
Burned to Death

New York, Sept. IA. - six persons
In one family were burned 10 death and
six others were injured seriously in a
fire which partially DESTROYED tene-
ment building at Nos. 6s-7O First
street. More than 30 families were
asleep in the building and thrilling
acts OF bravery accomplished their res
cue which was accomplished by ire
men and the police.
Ii was shortly after O'Clock when
the alarm was given. Owing 10 the
danger Of tire in such a crowded sec.
ton police reserves from three stations
were hurried to the scene.
Within few moments that elapsed
the flames were found 10 have made
great Roadway from the first floor, and
the neighbOrhood was in a panic OF ter
ror. Women and children were being
dropped from the windows Of the lower
floors and dozens Of grown persons were
fighting in the Railways TO reach the
open air.
A policeman clambeIed TO the roof
OF an adjoining building and by cling
ing TO the eOrniee with the smoke pour
ing down into his face reached down
to tho windows of the fifth floor and
raised seven children who were handed
out by their parents. Another officer,
windinga coat about his head. entered
the building from below aud rolled
down the stairs the body OF a half suf-
located man. Three times the officer
came back and carried two persons in
his arms. Then he fell exhausted.
Meantime, ladders had been run to
the top OF the bnilding. and firemsn
elambering up. rescued at least 30 tsne
ment jewellers who were about to
jump. Men sought 10 reach the IRE
men first. but were thrust back, while
the women and children were taken
out. One fireman. although badly
burned, took seven persons from q SIM
gle window ON the fourth door.
When tho work Of rescue had been
completed and the flames had been un-
der control the firemen hurriedly
searched the crowded fats and on the
fourth floor they found six dead.
Those injured sustained their hurts
chiefly BY jumping from tho lower
floors, but many received severe burns.
The financial loss was small
Police Captain MeDeFmot and the
iremen who FIRST reached the burning
building believe the fire was Of inesn-
diary origin. The ianitur Of tho build
ing says that an attempt to set fire to
the tenement was made last Thursday
night, when = burning broom that had
been sprtnk led with kerosene was found

II Is expected that he will leave co..
600 men to defend Mukden, while the

Wheat Prices
Soar Upward

Chicago. Sept. i2-At the start che
wheat market was very strong si1sy.
The feature Of paramount importance
was the government crop report. issued
late yesterday afternoon. confirming IN
a great degree the alarming stories Of
damag by rust inflicted on spring
wheat. According to the official fig
ures. the total yield OF both winter and
spring weat is 523 600 600 bushels. an
amount claimed to be barely sufficient
to supply consumption. As result Of
the exceedingly poor showing Of the
American crop. all European grain
markets were higher. This fact helped
70 increase the demand here for wheat
when trading began. In addition, re-
ports form the northwest indicated that
fresh damage by frosts had been infict-
ed upon the spring wehat crop.
With such startling news at hand
shorts II the opening made franio
effort tocover sales. The demand was
40 urgent that initial quotations on all
deliveries were up about two cents
compared with Saturdays closing quo
tatious, December showing q gain Of

Russian General
Severely Wounded

London, Sept. IS. The Morning
Post states that official Russian dis
patches, received in London, announce
that Lieutenant General Zassalitch,
who commanded the portion of the
Russian guard south Of the Hun river,
has been severely wounded and cap
tured, with 5000 out Of his 5000 men.
It Is added by the paper that Gener-
ais zaroubaieff. Kondratovitch and Bill
derling have checked General Kuroki q
advance.
St. Petersburg reports that General
kuroki has fallen back ON Yentai,
where the main army is bivouacking.
Only very small Japanese detachments
are reported on the Russian TANKS.
The war office fully realizes the dis
couraginge feet of tho battle of Lao
yang Of the heroic garrison Of Port Ar
thur. With all prospects Of immediate
relief from KurOpatkin gone it is feared
that the length of the seige will be
shortened.
The retirement Of the Japs south
ward from Mukden means nothing to
the Russian correspondent who, while
telegraphing the news, calls attention
to the fact that previous experience
has shown that when the Japanese
withdrew from the Russian front this
usually was the precursor of their ap-
pearance on the Russian TANKS. The
correspondent also thinks that indica-
nons point to winter campaign.
Moreover, he says, there remain two
full months, the best Of the year, for
campaigning.
The London Daily Nails correspond
emit with the Japanese reports from
Tientsin the report that General Line
witch, with SO, 900 men. invaded north
eastern Korea and cut General Kuro-
ki's communications with Fengwan-

Maine Goes
Republican

Portland, Me-, Sept. 13-The repub-
hcans carried the state in the biennial
election Monday up to II O'Clock to-
night indicating a plurality Of about
SS. 1000 for William Cobb, the republi-
can candidate for governor. compared
with 1884 for Hill, the party candi-
date four years ago.
In the First and Second COMPRESSION
al districts the returns indicate the
election Of Amos Allen and Charles
Littleteld by about the same plurality
as four years ago In the Third dis
trict E. G. Burieigh ran ahead Of his
vote OF four years ago.
Very few reports have been received
from the Fourth district, here the re-
election Of Llewellyn Powers is con-
ceded.
Early reports show that the demo-
Gratis have probably made slight gains
in both branches Of the legislature, but
that body will remain strongly republi-
can and will probably reflect United
states Senator Eugene Hale.
The vote complete was the heaviest
since 1888.
