heavy type between it's editorials the immense totals of our pension list. l know that you believe as we'll as do that this pension business has been overworked. I know that there is many fellow who for years has been fattening at the public crib, whose claim for a pension has no more solid basis than this, that his grandmother may have sewed buttons on the coat of some patriot who fell at Bunker Hill. l know that some men, not a few. went to the war
 NOT TO SAVE THE UNION,
 but to save their necks from their creditors. Over-much ad- ulation is a bad thing. Dewey day was trumped up hastily to sat- isfy the American passion for hero worship; it was a bubble that burst with the pricking. It is not we'll to erect monuments until you are sure that some passing peccadillo will not spoil their fame. It may be that some men who have made draughts upon our treasury are hardly worth our keeping their bodies and souls togeth- CT; but, for my part, would rather a hundred undeserving ScampS should purlOin their living from Uncle Sam than that one deserving soldier who, to the tune of Yankee Doodle, faith fully followed Sherman in his march to the sea, should go hungry and un- fed. Don't be frightened because now, forty years from the close of the war, our pension roll is big and con- stantly growing bigger. It is debt that we owe and, as a Nation that pays its bills, must honestly own. What do we who never smelled pow der smoke except at Fourth of July celebration know about war! To us war is sentimental horror; to us war furnishes a theme to wax eloquent over on occasions like these. But what was it to the boys who said to sweethearts goodbye, who tramped on forced marches until from sheer exhaustion they fell by the way, who, with Pickett's line, march cd across the field at Gettysburg, and did not break line though a raking fire moved them down as the scythe lays the grass in swathes. l read of fine

Towns and villages, thrift's pleasant abode, were razed to the ground.
 Millions mourned for millions slain; and others, suffering the prolonged miseries of war, counted death as some sweet boon. The sword sat chief in half our Nation. Fruitful fields were
 turned into wilderness. The words of the old-time prophet were fulfilled,
 ''The sun shall be turned into dark ness and the moon into blood" The public veal was invaded, industry
 paralyZed and morals debauched.
 When the shot whizzed across Charles ton Harbor, it was as if political night had shadowed the world. The world stood by amazed; the earth trembled with the shock.
 l see these scars yet tracing their lines upon this goodly land; but what men who fought its battles! Count the surried ranks of those who fell mid battles smoke and roar. Count, if you will, the mighty host that per ished in hospital camp, and among the embraces of home where they had gone to die. Count the ranks upon ranks that have since those days been called to the Grand Review, when dis ease, contracted in the marshes of the South and as the result of wounos, made for them their mastering out. Need I speak in this presence here of that awful scar which the war left upon the men? I mean the scar of strong drink, ruinous habit fastened with ever-tightening grip by the ex- periences of the war. How these who went boldly to the cannon's mouth have been falling, falling ever since, slain by an enemy they had not the power to resist! Oh, what ghoulish procession See ever marching on and toppling over the brink; and the vail that rises from their last groans is this, "Alcohol is king!" Then there is the scar of our war debt, two billions or more. It is the custom nowadays for some white-livered citizen, who never spilled drop of blood, to express his disgust with all this war business and to hope that soon he will hear no more of what is due these veterans. For some years The New York Herald printed in

ly planned procession that was given up because the militia would not march behind the Grand Army. Oh, no; I do not believe there is much danger of too many bands turning out on Tues day to do honor to our surviving braves. Flowers are never sweeter than when placed upon the graves of our soldiers dead: Eulogies never find happier mission than when spoken in memory of those who preserved us a nation. The great pension list is scar; but God bless the scar, since it enables us to repudlate the charge that republics are ungrateful to those who sacrifice for them. The scars of the war fell nightly upon the sunny South. Those who dwell in warm climes do not quickly feel the rebound that comes to those whose sinewy strength is toughened by the rigors of long winters and scantily producing soil. The war dealt staggering blow on's line. God cheer them and help them as the New South now asserts that the tardy hour of her renaissance has come.
 1 Hook to-day upon land still scared, upon you, men, bearing yet the scars of the bloody scenes through which you passed. Scars here, scars there, scars everywhere except upon our flag! Oh, no, I mistake, there was one scar, but when this flag was surrendered, it was
 SURRENDERED TO AMERICANS ALONE. When traitorous men sought to raise a tyranny of oppression at the South, they had to find another flag than Old Glory under which to do their work. When thoughtful men look upon a flag, they see not the cloth, but they see government, principles, truths, history, they see nation. When we see the tri-color flag of France we see not the cloth, but France. When we look upon Italy's ensign we see not the cloth, but resurrected Italy. When we see that other three-colored flag we see not the cloth, but the struggles, the Hopes, the tears that have made Hungary free. When the combined crosses of St Andrew and St George appear upon fiery background, we see not the cloth, but the ideas that have made possible that little island and mighty empire upon which the sun never sets.
 Whatever the symbols, whatever the insignia, placed upon our flag, there is but one message which it reads out to the world, and that is

DIR. KENNEDY'S
 REMEDY
Breaks no Hearts, Excuses
 no Crimes.


 Dr. David Kennedy's FAVORITE REM EDY is not disguised enemy of the human race; where it cannot help, it does not harm. It is composed of vegetable ingre- dients and does not heat or infiame the blood but cools and purifes it. In all cases of Kidney troubles, Liver complaints, Con- stipation of the Bowels, and the delicate Arrangements which affiict women, the ac- tion of Dr. Kennedy's FAVORJTE REM EDY is beyond praise. Thousands of grateful people voluntarily testify to this, in letters to Dr. Kennedy; and with a warmth and fullness of words which mere business certificates never possess. It makes no runkards-excuses no crimes breaks no hearts. In it's coming there is hope, and in it's wings there is healing. We challenge n trial and are confident of the result. Your druggist has it. ONE DOLLAR a Bottle. Bear in mind the name and address Dr. Dauid KENNEDY, Rondout, New York.

ladder into the hole. covered it with
boards and went away for few days.
When next ne visited the place hef
found that masses Of ice covered thef
sides of the excavation. These were'
shaped like huge icicles. Then he be-
gan systematic observations. He soon
learned that or the days Of greatest
heat the amount of ice in the excava-
ton was far in excess Of that found
there on cool days.
Rumors OF the> Potter county ice
mine" had spread far aheld. II was
not long before professors from colleges
and universities camc\to examine tthe
ice mine. None however, was ableNto
account for the formatioHNof the ice,
While digging around I'M the bottom
OF the shaft with a pick '6pe day the
old soldier cleared away the loose eartlA
from p small opening which proved to-
be a cleft I'm the rock A current OF
cold air rushed out and led him TO be-
lievc that a small tunnel led 20 a
cavern in the body OF the mountain.
Chemical action Of some sort going on
/, in some subterranean expanse may al'-
count for the manifestations in thG
local excavation. This solution of the'
problem, however, has never been veri-
fed
A narrow stairway was constructed
from tho roadway up the steep
mountainside to the rude platform sur
rounding the shaft, and here the dis
coverer and owner of the mine began
in a modest way to reap the profits
OF his find. Mild refreshments were \dis-
pensed and a small admission fee was
charged.
As the cool nights of the high alti-'
tudes came on with the advance Of the
season, the ice began to disappear, and
,at the onset OF winter it was gone,
leaving the interior of the excavation
perfectly dry and many degrees warm
er than it had been throughout the en-
tire summer. The same phenomena
have been observed each year since the
discovery of the place. The ice forma-
tion and the frigid atmosphere at and
near the mouth of the mine shaft are
lnever-ceasing sources OF wonder to all
who visit the place When the heat
lis extreme an examination OF the gray
moss which covers the ground in the
adjacent forests discloses the fact that
its interstices are filled with ice.
There has been talk of building a
big summer hotel on the mountainside.
