Democracy and the Trusts.

The Democratic party has ever been
a prince in promise and a pauper in
performance. The st. Louis platform
contains a plank promising complete
annihilation of the trusts if the Demo-
Gratis are given the reins of govern
ment This promise has been dis
counted some by the assertion of Mr..
Bryan that 1.-The nomination of Judge
Parker nullifies the antitrust decla-
ration of the convention, but there
is even stronger evidence against hope
that the declaration would bear fruit
in case of Democratic success. The
American people have habit, doubt
less annoying to Democrats, of Judging
of the future by the past, and they
have not forgotten the record of the
Democratic partyin dealing with the
trusts, They were in power when the
trusts were in their fullest activity,
with the Sherman antitrust law fresh
on the statute books. The people
were clamoring for regulation of the
trusts, for the suppression of unlawful
combinations that were controlling
the necessaries of life and that at a
time when Democratic policies had
reduced the wage of the American
workman and brought the trust ques-
tion home to every citizen The pop
ular demand was entirely ignored dur
ing the eight years the Democrats
were in power, while the party gave
its entire time to accomplishing the
overthrow of the industrial system of
the country and the consequent i'm
poverishment of the people. 1t took
years OF wise statesmanship on the
part of the Republican party to re-
habilitate the nation and repair the
damage wrought by Democratic NAL
administration. The Republican party
points to its trust record as one of
achievement, one of actual deeds in
contrast with the Democratic collec-
tion of unfulflled promises, made to
catch votes.

RAISE MONUMENTS TO LIARS
Dyaks of Borneo Have Singular Gus
tom That Is Hard to
Follow.

A correspondent of the Straits Budget
of the Straits settlement says:
while other nations should build
monuments to the memory Of men who
have done great and noble deeds, the
Dyaks heap up pile of the branches Of
trees in memory of the man who has ut
tered a great lie, so that future genera
tions may know of his wickedness and
| take warning from it.
"The persons deceived start the tug
ong bula by heaping up large number
of branches in some conspicuous spot
by the side of the main road. Every
passer-by contributes to it and at the
same time curses the man in memory of
whom it is.
THE Dyaks consider the adding to any
tugong bula they may pass sacred duty,
the commission of which will meet with
supernatural punishment, and So how
ever pressed for time a Dyak may be.
he stops to throw on the pile some
branches or twigs.
This custom dates from very ancient
times. II Is interesting to notice that
though the ethics of the Dyak, even at the
present day, do not agree in many points
with the moral code of other and more
advanced races still from the earliest
ages the Dyaks seem to have agreed in
considering a lie most disgraceful
crime, and liar man Who deserves the
curses not only of his own generation, but
also Of peoplpe yet unborn.
"A few small branches, a few dry twigs
and leaves--that is what the tugong bula
is at first But day by day 1t increases In
size. Every passer-by adds something
to 1t, and In few years time 1t becomes
a large and imposing monument raised
to the memory of one who was liar.
1T has often been remarked by Dyaks
that any other punishment would, II q
man had his choice, be much preferred TO
having tugong bula put up in his mem
ory. Other punishments are soon for
gotten, but tugong bula remains as a
testimony to mans untruthfulness for
succeeding generations to witness. and
is a standing disgrace to his children's
children.
Believing, as the Dyaks do, in the ef-
ficacy of curses-a curse among them
being finable offense--it is easy to un-
derstand how Dyak would dread the ac-
cumulation of curses which would neces-
sarily accompany the formation Of q tu-
gong bula'

FIND NEW KLONDIKE
GOLD DISCOVERY IN CALIFoR-
MA CAUSES EXCITEMENT.
Ore from Mountain Assays as High as
$134 Ton and Formation Can Be
Traced for Miles-Prospectors
Rushing to the Scene.

Bryan Dorsey Phillips, prospector
Bridgeport, Cal, has discovered noun
tain of quartz assaying from SO to s134
ton. He dug shaft 20 feet and found
five-foot ledge of $45 ore.
Prospectors are rushing to the find
for mile around and are finding high
grade ore. There is great excitement
in the vicinity. Jack Sawyer had a
:laim with a six-foot ledge assaying $40
on the cropping. The Rough and Ready
claim has three-foot ledge assaying
$134.
big camp is expected at once. Find
ers are to organize mining district and
work has commenced on some claims
already. There is some doubt as to
whether the find Is in California or Ne
vada. 1t is close to the line.
The formation can be traced for miles.
A lot OF the ores are free milling. II is
hilly country and wood and water are
plentiful. II is claimed that the ore re-
sembles the ore of the Fortuna, the rich
ledge Of the Bodie mine.
Work was done at Masonic mountain
30 years ago, but rich ore bodies were
not found, as the work was done on the
wrong side OF the mountain. All of the
country is mass OF broken quartz rock
which does not pan until burnt and for
this reason 1t has been passed over by
prospectors.
The finders are Colorado men and
liken the rock to Cripple Creek ore. The
whole country Is excited and men are
going to the find on foot and horseback.
Men have arrived from the new camp
with samples OF ore. Tonopab men
claim the rock to be the same as Tono-
pah rock.
The country has not been half pros
pected. Men from all kinds OF business
are out with picks and seeking claims.
The formation is in porphyry, granite
and slate, a portion being capped over
with eruptive rock; in fact, much like
the Goldfields formation.

THE sANITARIUM HABIT.
Acquired by Many Persons in Good
Health Who Imagine Them
selves Invalids.

Victims Of the sanitarium habit, per-
sons whose health is at least fair, are to
be found in nearly every institution
maintained for the treatment of in
valids. Such persons are for all practical
purposes well, but imagine physical ma
ladies to which they can lay no just claim,
says the Chicago Chronicle.
Most of these persons at one time or
another had disorders which caused
them to take refuge in a sanitarium. Now
the modern sanitarium, appealing as
the great majority do to the patronage
of the wealthy, is fitted up with every de-
vice calculated to make life easy. The
servants are trained to anticipate the
patrons every wish: in fact the patron
is expected to do something except
amuse himself and in order to help him
do so there are usually provided billiard
tables, bowling alleys, shuttle boards,
cardrooms, tennis courts and golf links
And If he suffers from the slightest i'll,
there is always a doctor on hand to
soothe him and supply nostrums, the
necessity for which may be real OF
! fancied.
Having become accustomed to the
sheltered life of the sanitarium with its
daily round of coddling. the patron Is
loath to leave when restored to his usual
health. and II he is long on money and
short on will the chances are that he
will postpone his departure again and
again, until at last he settles down with
the full intention of remaining in
definitely.
The probabilities are that in order
to set himself right with his conscience
he will endeavor to make himself be-
lieve that he is still physically unfit to
play an active part in life, and naturally
IL Is not to the interest of the sanitar-
ium's proprietor to have him undeceived
BY far the great majority of the vic
Tins of the sanitarium habit are women,
the feminine nature being especially sus-
ceptible to coddling. When a semi-in-
valid of the fair sex once gets used to re-
ceiving daily visit from soft-spoken
physician who tenderly holds her hand
and lavishes upon her sympathy and ad-
vice it is difficult for her to go back to
a life where such an experience is not
always there to command at moments
notice.
Women also are prone to acquire a
morbid habit of harping on their real or
fancied ailments. and no place provides
such sympathetic listeners as a sanitar-
ium

STATE FAIR
To Be Held at Columbus from Aug
ust 29 to September 8.

AS the time approaches for the Ohio
State Fair and Industrial Exposition,
to be held at Columbus, August 30, 30,
81 and September l and 2, the general
interest increases. Reports from
headquarters indicate that the ex-
hibition space in all the great build
ings has been taken, while entries in
the live stock departments are such
as to insure fine representation of
all the pure breeds.
The park fair grounds are being
beautifed, and everything will be in
complete order to begin the full pro-
gram on Monday morning, August 20,
the first day of the Fair. This will be
"Woman's Day" admission will be
free to the women of the State who
present themselves at the fair gates.
The structures for the big array of
outdoor free attractions are being
put in place, and all will start
promptly and be repeated each day.
Music is also to be made one of the
striking features. Nothing SO enlivens
a public occasion as band music, and
that the State Fair will be we'll sup.
piled is evinced by the engagement
of three bands for each day. The
Fourth Regiment and the People IS
Bands, of Columbus, will render con-
certs from the park stands. The
Euterpean Military Band of twenty
pieces will furnish music at the race
course, and the Glenford Military
Band will furnish music for the re-
unions and association assemblies. In
the Music Hall there will be daily
Organ and Piano recitals. Each ex-
hibitor to be given specified hours,
so that this feature Twill be almost
continuous, and there will be music,
music everywhere.
For the entire week of the State
Fair, the railroads of the state have
made special cheap arrangements,
tickets to be good returning the day
after the Fair. The indications are
that the people will quite generally
avail themselves of the opportunities
for attending, and it is now certain
that none will be disappointed in the
great show and general enjoyments
that await them.

The latest publicity scheme in
Hazelton, Pa, is advertising in hymn
books recently ordered by two local
churches. Solicitors are circulating
among the business people for space.
There is much opposition to the
scheme, and at the next meeting of
the Merchants Protective Associa-
tion an effort will be made to have a
resolution adopted favoring newspa-
per advertising exclusively. An ex-
change expresses the hope that the
opposition will prevail. When the
promoter of advertising schemes in
vades hymn books, it is time to draw
the line. Next we shall have Sunny
Jim disporting himself in the colored
glass of church windows and the
Gold Dust twins pirouetting on the
wall back of the pulpit.

ILL FLOCK ITO MINER.
MARVELLOUS CURES EFFECTED
BY A sCoTcHMAN.
His Lowly Home Near Glasgow the
Mecca of Halt and Maimed-Is Ig-
norant of Medicine and His
Surgery Causes Surprise.

London has been recently flooded
velous cures effected By William Rae,
Scotch miner, living at Blantyre, a
little village near Glasgow.
Special correspondents have written
columns telling how the halt were
cured and the deformed made straight
by an old man whose medical know
ledge was limited TO a few notions of
anatomy obtained by cursory study
OF a handbook. Some of them went SO
far as to suggest that Rae's power was
superhuman. His cottage, it is said,
presented a remarkable sight daily.
Crowds OF people, some on crutches,
others hobbling along with walking
sticks, but all filled with hope Of being
cured, besieged the former miner, who
is devoting II hours a day TO treating
his patients.
One instance OF Raes methods was
given by highly yeracious correspon.
dent as follows:
"The patient was little boy who
could not walk here. Said Rae: This
is case Of a dislocated hip; the doc
tors call 1t disease, but ii Is not He
made the boy lie down; then suddenly
seizing the limb he gave it jerk.
There was a sharp crack, sharper
cry from the boy, and before the lat
ter's mother, who was present, could
recover from her astonishment, her
child was walking about the room de-
lightedly waving his discarded weight
ed boot In the air"
Another case termed typical was de-
scribed as that OF a girl who was a
hunchback. In this instance the mother
was not permitted TO be with the child,
but quarter of an hour later the child
came out OF the cottage straight as a
die" and sobbed out her happiness on
her mothers shoulder
There were dozens of stories such as
these detailed at length In the London
newspapers, Photographs Of Rae have
been published, showing him to be a
somewhat uncouth-looking man, with
badly trimmed beard and heavy fea-
lures. His fee never varies. To all
alike he charges half guinea.
fiou cNciy part u E<h6iduu anu
Scotland, il one is to believe the ac-
counts one reads, people have travelled
to seek Rae's assistance and pay their
half-guineas. Still, Rae is not wealthy,
although 1t appears he has been carry
ing on his "bloodless surgery" for
years.
Rae's doctrine appears to be that
bone disease is an invention of the
doctors. To him conclusive proof of
this Is that neither he nor anyone else
has ever seen diseased bone In a liv-
ing person.
The secret of spinal curvature and
every other condition causing deformi-
ty or lameness is contained in the
single word "Bluid," for Roe's Scotch
accent is one Of his special charms.
Where that's wrang," says thia
pathological oracle, "a the rests
wrang."
The British Medical Journal. COM
menting on the affair, says there is
nothing of this wondrous talk of the
collier surgeon that will surprise those
who know how little education has
done to dissipate the clouds of ignor-
ance and credulity which darken the
public mind. The really interesting
point to know would be how SO foolish
q thing was made subject Of a sue
cessful boom.

COUPLE HAS ELOPING FEVER
Are Welded, Divorced, and Then Run
Away Second Time to Be
Married.

In all its history of romantic mar
riages Washington, d. C., has made q
new record. Mr.. and Mrs. Adoph Henz
are the couple now being talked about.
They eloped and were married at
Rockville, Md, in November, 1894. In
1900 they disagreed and separated for
ever, as they then said. Last November
they were divorced. The reaction was
sudden.
The young people had seen d good
deal OF each other while they were sep
aratsd, It seems, and they had no sooner
obtained their divorce than they were
again making love to each other, and
just before Christmas they were en-
gagged.
The young woman had gone home to
her father, and the idea of a reengage-
ment was not received ut the parental
domicile with manifestations OF Joy.
Now they eloped again and we're mar
ried at Rockville, the scene Of their i'm
mature vows ten years ago.
