STRATEGY THAT SUCCEEDED
One Way to Get Woman to Take
Her Hat OF in q
Theater.

She sailed down the aisle Just before the
curtain rose for the mat nee, an elegantly
dressed woman of middle age and more,
wearing broad, black hat with a long,
curving feather on it. She took "a seat in
front of two young women and gave not
the slightest intimation of removing that
marvellous tower of headgcar, relates the
Chicago Inter Ocean.
Pardon me, tut would you mind re-
moving your hat!'
This request apparently made not the
slightest impression on the owner of the
handsome plume, and few minutes
later the second young woman asked, in
tone somewhat louder than that of her
companion
Would you please be SO kind as, to take
off your haty"
The offender moved her head slightly,
but otherwise gave no response.
The victims Of fashion were silent for 4
few minutes and then one of them wal
heard to say very distinctly to her friend:
"Oh, well, perhaps she is little bald
That, of course, explains it. Don't think
of asking her again"
The woman with the hat started and
before the speaker had finished the Of
tense was removed.

Catarrh of the kidneys is very COM

better known to the physicians as well

People have kidney disease. They
take some diuretic, hoping to get better.
They never once think of catarrb. Kid

associated in the minds of the people,

in the minds of the physicians. Too

PARKER's ACTION.
He Gave the World Assurance of 1
 Mang
Brooklyn Eagle

Brooklyn Eagle.
 Alton B. Parker, on Saturday, did something never done before.
 He returned a nomination TOT tne Presidency to the Convention making IL, with the statement that he must have liberty to act on certain convictions or his own, touching great question WHICH the Convection had omitted. on pur- pose or that body must accept his de- clination and nominate another man. That was a provisional declination of a great party's nomination for the Presidency. Such a nomination never otherwise, when made by one of the two great parties.
 The action Is unprecedented. It stands alone in the world.
 Platforms of the great parties, moro
 than once. have in letters of acceptance by nominees been construed differently from the interpretations put upon them by the conventions making them. As we showed on Saturday, Mcclellan. Seymour. Tilden and Cleveland--the
 latter twice-did that; but they ac- cepted the nominations even when they, so to say, dispatched the platforms with their letters of acceptance.
 The difference between what they did and what Judge Parker did is apparent. The reason for the difference Is this: They had to consider matters in the platform which. they thought, were not rightly treated there. Judge Parker
 saw that a matter which, in his judg-
 ment should be in the platform was not in 1t at all He regarded the mat
 ter to be vital and the omission of 1t to
 be wrong. He also thought that any
 acquiescence by him in the omission
 of 1t would put him in false position,
 while his insistence on or projection
 of his own view might be held to do
 violence to the right of the Convention,
 to be solely its own issue maker.
 Accordingly he said In effect: I think
 so and so, and shall say so and so If
 take this nomination. The Convention Is silent on the matter. Informally.

 from my views. l can, therefore, only

 on my view of it as set forth in this
 telegram.
 That was candid. honorable, manly, brave-and unprecedented. It scents easy, as every grand thing does-after it has been done It seems easy, but in error Judge Parker put the high est honor a man can obtain from q party-an honor he then held fin his handsome side. He set his sense of duty against this deliberate policy of a great party which. as said, had just put in his hands the greatest honor 1t could confer. He acted on his sense of duty. instantly. There was no time for reflection or consultation. What he did, he did by himself, in his country home, at once. His confidants, his ad- visers and his counselors were 1900

ton. He declared himself not merely to friends, but to rivals. He declared himself not merely to rivals, but to op- ponents and iil-wishers. Barring his character barring his action itself, he was without explanation or re- course.
 No such situation was ever before presented. No such test was ever be- fore confronted. Policy. prudence. am bftion, ease peace, all precedents whatever were against what he sad and did. Action or utterance could be avoided or evaded by him with d certainty of Justification everywhere except in his own conscience. and in the consciences of those who put prins ciple before selfish mentions to waive or defer-consideration of them.
 He obeyed his conscience. The Con- Vention tumultuously acclaimed his act l. gave to him the liberty he knew he ought 10 have and felt he must have, Tn effect it actually made his views It's own. Ills opponents themselves are filled with appreciation and with admi. ration of what he did

The moral value of 1t Is infinite. The influence of 1t on conduct and on character never should. never will and never can be lost. As 1t never was equaled, we venture little in say ing it will never be surpassed.

THE UNIvERsALIsT HERALD.
Complete Files Sent to Alabams
 Archives.

AfcntyeS,
 The receipt by the Department of Archives and History of a complete file of The Universalist Herald" draws attention to the editorial career of Dr. John E. Burruss as one of the most remarkable of Alabama editorial writers.
 Dr. Burruss was editor of The Uni- versalist Herald" from 1857 to its con- solidation in 1896 wl,h a similar pub lication published in South Carolina For little less than half a century Dr. Burruss was actively engaged fin editorial work. He is still hale and hearty at his home in Notasulga and he would now be writing for the Herald had it not been deemed neces- sary to merge 1t with the South Car olina publication. Dr. Burruss sent the donation of the files of his paper to the department.
 The Universalist Herald" was founded in Montgomery in 1857 and continued here for a number of years. It was later moved by Dr. Burruss to Notasulga and published there until it's consolidation with the other pa- pers.
 The rare old file is considered an invaluable contribution to the religi- oTs history of the State.
