Triumphs Of Modern surgery.

Wonderful things are done for the hui
man body by surgery. Organs are taken
out and seraped and polished and put
back, or they may be removed entirely;
bones are spliced; pipes take the place Of
diseased seetionse of veins, antiseptic
dressings are applied to wounds, bruises
burns and Ike injuries before infamma-
ton sets in, which causes them to heal
without matInation and in third the
time required by the old treatment.
chamberlain's Pain Balm acts on this
same principle. 1t is an antiseptie and
when applied to such injuries, causes
them to heal very quickly. It also. al
lays the pain and soreness. Keep a bot
tie Of Pain Balm in your home and it
viii save you time and money, not 10
mention the inconvenience ana suffering
which such injuries entail. For sale by

The BIG Stick.

II viii do no harm TO review. for
the benefit OF those who are afraid we
cannot be trasted with a big stick,
few of the facts in recent history.
Until Chandler took hold OF the Navy
Department. and Whitney continued
his work. we had nothing that could
properly be called a navy. Before
the war with Spain it was uncertain
whether our navy men could be
matched against the more experienced
forces Of any European power and
come off without disaster. The war
with Spain proved that they could.
Since that time the country has had
no reason to feel uneasy about the
discipline and equipment OF our navy
If there is only enough of it.
But suppose we had remained con-
tent with the vessels which remained
10 us at the close Of the war be-
tween the North and South? Sup
pose no effort had been made to bring
that navy up to date? Should we
have come out of the Spanish war
with a record of TWO big naval )at-
ties and only one man on our side
killed? Should We have remained
safe from the assaults of other coun-
tries which were more or less openly
sympathizing with Spain2 1t is 10
be feared not The destruction of
the Maine will hardly be paralleled
in future That awful crime was un-
doubtedly committed in the belief
that we neither could nor would
exact a penalty. Spain treated US
with contempt Neither she nor any
other foreign nation does so now. Is
II nothing that our sailors and our
citizens are made safe in foreign
ports by the existence Of a stick as
big as the navy is proved to be? Is
it not clear that an efficient navy is
the best preventive of trouble? Is
anybody going to make war upon us
more readily because we are pre-
pared for it?

The Real Esopus.

Nobody, of course, ever heard Of
EsOpus until it was known that the
Democratic candidate for President
was living there, getting in his hay
and digging his potatoes in calm, if
somewhat ostentatious, indifference
to the possibility that he might be
nominated for the highest Office in
the gift of the people
When the name of this little town
did become generally known, it gave
most people the impression Of being
rather dignified and of an old-time
stateliness. 1t made one think of
Cincinnatus, and Marcus Aurelius An
toninus, and Spartacus. and all the
classical names in the school readers.
New York State has a good many of
those names. II has Ithaca, and
Rome, and Troy. 1t was settled in
the period of Roman eloQuence. One
might naturally suppose that Esopus
had something to do with Esop.
But somebody has cruelty dug up
the real origin of the name of the
little hamlet. and found it to be
Sopers. Even this might be endured
if SoDers had been the name of a re-
spectacle citizen who founded the
town. Esopus is certainly more
euphonious than SOpersville. In fact,
# is difficult to imagine any man be-
Ing nominated for President if he
spent his summers at Sopersville
However, Sopers was not 2 surname.
1t was the name of a class. It was
Dutch. and came from "5esOffen." In
a word. Sopers was early Dutch for
''soakers'' -topers-tanks. Lord, what
9 fall is herei
il is tine for the Prohibition party
20 keep watch OF a town like that.
II Judge Parker is obliged to welcome
many Of the Democratic delegations
from New York. and distribute much
Clevelandesque literature, Esopus may
prove anew the justice OF its name.

GAVE TAMMANY MAN
A VERY RUDE SHOCK
Former Judge Mackeys SIeight- Hand With Campaign
Buttons Turns the Leaders Cold

Thomas ]. Mackey. formerly a circuit
judge in South Carolina in reconstruc-
ton days. and now a practitioner in the
District courts, tells an amusing story of
his recent visit 70 New York city. While
in South Carolina Judge Mackey was
Republican in national politics and a
Democrat In State politics.
When he visited New York a few DAYS
ago he met some of those whom he as
sisted in whooping up the election OF
Grant, Garfield, and Hayes. His friends
believing that he was in New York to
offer his services for the election of
Roosevelt and Fairbanks. they imme-
diately pinned several Republican cam
paign buttons on the lapels Of his coat.
Shocked Tammany.
After leaving his Republican friends
Judge Mackey wendell his way 70 Tam
many Hall, where he also met many old
friends. Before entering the home of the
Tiger, the Judge however was careful
to remove the Roosevelt Fairbanks but
tons from his coat
The Tammanyites, Judge Mackey says
were more generous In the gift of cam
paign buttons than the Republicans and
extended to him box well filled and

The American.

The fear expressed by a New York
er that the American race is dying
out leads naturally to an inquiry as
TO what the American race really is.
The assertion is accredited to those
who have made a study of immigra-
ton that citizens of pure American
blood are rapidly growing scarce, -
and reference to the statistics of the
Indian department would probably
verify the assertion.
But, apart from the Indian, is there
really any American race? Are we
not, indeed. a race of mongrels,
neither fish, fowl, nor good red her
ring? And can race of mongrels
ole out so long as more races keep
coming in to add TO its mongrelity,
SO TO speak?
This country was settled along the
Atlantic coast line-middle class Eng
fish in New England; phlegmatic
Dutch and Huguenot French around
Manhattan; more Dutch, and more
bourgeoise English in Pennsylvania;
English aristocracy, with faint of
the criminal hereabouts; Spanish and
French still further South. and since
then Irish have been added every
where. From this mixture has come
the American race" and il can be
safely prophesied that such an Amer
lean race cannot die out as long as
the process OF mixture continues.
What we suppose the anxious soei-
ologist means is that the so-called
''old families" are gradually being
eliminated by a process OF fntermar-
riage. fortified with the relentless
operation Of the law of the survival
OF the fittest This is probably true.
even as il is true abroad; but the pro-
cess is more rapid here. for the old
families" OF this country are not
strengthened and perpetuated b. caste
as is the case abroad. They have 10
hold their Owl without dollhouse cUl-
tivatinG. and under those conditions
cid age is always sooner OF later
sure 60 60 down before vigorous
youth
It IS not the dying out OF the
American race" that this country
has TO fear, but the swarniinc into
its confines OF the already morally
dead CT Continental Europe Rich,
undeveioped stock we can care for
ard thrive upon, but the degenerates

for our fertilizers. Hence the need

requested him TO take a plenty. The
Judge is nothing IL not a wag. He had
prepared himself for the offer OF the
Tammanyites so when the box OF but
tons was extended to him he dropped the
ROOSEVELT Fairbanks buttons which he
held in his hand for the purpose, among
the Parker-Davis buttons.

Taking one Of the ROOSEVELT Fairbanks
buttons up he showed it to several Tam

the same Judge Mackey had unobserved
placed there.
In a moment Judge Mackey says those
who were near we're In q state Of wild
excitement. Imprecations were heaped
upon the head of the manufacturer; or
ders were given to return all the cam
paign buttons In Tammany and to can
eel the orders for future delivery.
Just when a messenger was about be-
ing dispatched to the manufacturers 70

Mackey brought quiet TO the disturbed
Tammanyites by acknowledging the joke
he had played upon them.

think OF this, the last pleasure of the
effete rich, being forbidden them
when they travel in Europe. There
are so few pleasures out OF all those
which are supposed to accompany a
journey abroad, which they are able
to enjoy. They can no longer delight
in the beauty and historic associa-
tions of the Old World, because the
excursion tourists do the same thing,
and it would be really quite too COM
mon. They cannot buy their cloth
ing on the other side with any con-
scious feeling of superiority because
American tailors are now quite as
skillful and expensive as those of
Paris or London They cannot even
enjoy in peace the acquaintance of
the nobility. since in the most select
circles Of England they may meet
some one whom they wouldn't like to
know at home About the only en-
joyment they get out OF a journey to
Europe nowadays is that OF snug
Cling jewels and trinkets past the
custom house officials.
OF course, It may seem rather I'M
fair to send a common sharper to
prison for sewing $500 worth of duti-
able stuff into his coat lining, while
woman Of fashion tucks a diamond
necklace worth two or three times as
much inside her gown and sails in
scot free; but those who object to
this distinction fail to appreciate the
motives which induce people to Snug
gle when they can afford to pay duty.
II is SOFT of game, made the more
enjoyable by slight flavor of danger.
Increase the danger and the game
would, of course. be hardly worth
while, but the danger hitherto has
been just enough to add piquancy to
the experiment. The ordinary sharp
er. on the other hand, cheats the Gov
eminent for business reasons-really
quite different thing.
1t is to be feared that in time the
law may come to be no respecter of
persons.

BORED TO FREEDOM
IN THE CIVIL WAR
Thrilling Escape of Two Famous Confederates From the
Old Capitol Prison Here in Washington

II see a civil war tunnel has been
found down near Macon. Mo-" said a
grizzled old ex-Confederate soldier the
other Gay. We'll" he continued, "the
papers say that the 'Yanks' built that
tunnel, but reckon we furnished the
idea-enough Of US escaped from their
prisons by such means at any rate
The tunnel he spoke Of was found
about two weeks ago. It was over a
mile IN length. and in some places for
ty feet wide. and was capable OF &C
commodating two entire regiments OF
soldiers. 1t Is thought to have been built
by the Union soldiers during their &C.
cupation OF the country around Macon,
as an intended escape from Guernsey 5
GuerTillas, who were at that time the
dread OF both North and South. The
discovery has stirred the memory OF
the SOutherners, and many are the tales
now being told of escapes from the "Old
Capitol prison here in Washington by
men who fought under the ''BOnny Blue

Probably the most noted Confederate
ever held as a prisoner IN this section
Of the country was the late Gen

girls will have TO do. Hitherto they
have devoted themselves to training
teachers, because two-thirds of the
students expect to get their living by
teaching. But there are dozens of
ways in which a college bred woman
could earn a living, with technical
training better than she could with
out it. Why should she not be taught
bookkeeping instead of trigonometry,
since ninety-nine per cent of the wo-
men who are In business have TO use
bookkeeping, and not one-tenth of
one per cent has any use for trigo-
nometry?
Why should she not study zoology
with an eye to the care of poultry and
farm animals, or chemistry with enc
cial training IN scientific cookery ?
She is told that she can use the
sciences in housekeeping" but she
has to supply the connecting links
herself, and by the time she comes TO
the housekeeping her memory of the
sciences is apt to be vague 1t would
not be so with thorough technical,
practical, manual training TO supple
ment textbook knowledge. The trou-
bic with college trained women at
present is that they are compelled to
assimilate bushels OF rubbish in order
20 get at very few grains of valu-
able knowledge.
