Political Dirt.

There are people who cannot argue
political principles without personal
abuse Of the candidates chosen to
represent these principles. 1t is a
shame that personal abuse should
ever enter into a political campaign
and the person who has knowledge
enough to talk politics will not resort
to such tactics.
Any reasonable person likes to
hear the political questions Of the
day discussed In q fair way, but PEG
pie will not listen to personal attacks
on NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Journal.

he lay there for some minutes roasting
Then, summoning his strength, he crawled
away Mrs. Kilby and her mother put
out the blaze. Kllby, with rare fcrtitude
told his mother-in-law how to put out the
flames in the bath room. DR.. Allen de-
clared that the chances of recovery was
about two In 100, and sent the injured
man to the hospital. In so desperate a
case, he said. the only chance was in
patching up the burned space with small
pieces of skin from other bodies
The physician said that at least fifty
persons must volunteer Word was sent
to the Hanson Place Baptist church.,
where the Kilby family were worship
pers and less than twelve hours later
more than one hundred men and women
had offered themselves.
At different times in the past two
months and half thirty pieces of skin
has been removed from the injured mans
wife, and about the same number from his
daughter Lucia About twenty particles
were removed from the left arm of his
father.
Last week DR.. Allen discovered that
he required about two inches more and
gave it from his own arms and legs.
IF the skin had not been grated Kilby
would be dead man. said the physician
Mr. Kilbys body is covered with more
skin belonging to others than that of any
person in the world.

ADJUSTMENTS
East Lake Casino.

Bigger and brighter than ever, 1t Is
claimed, will be the entertainment offered
the patrons of the East Lake Casino
Monday night when an all-star vaude-
Vile cast is presented It will consist of
mirth, music, mystery and magic, to say
nothing of all the auxiliary forms of en-
tertainment.
The management is being congratulated
upon its ability to secure such duo of
comedians as Early and Late, who APP
peared here last with the Bijou Musical
Comedy company. They will also be re-
memebered as the funny pair with Ward
and Vokes for number of years. 1t is
said their success in vaudeville has been
even more pronounced than in musical
comedy, and the act in which they will
be seen here has tickled the rsbles of
thousands this summer. Just Enough
of Everything is the original and pleas
ing name of the melange of fun, and by
special request the famous talking and
dancing speciality will be introduced.
Rogers and Clifton will be seen in their
sensational version of hypnotic aerial sus-
pension entitled Faust and Venus" Ar
rayed as Mephisto, Mr.. Rogers makes
his appearance on the stage, The scene
represents a deep wood, with thunders
rolling and lightning flashing. He sees
Miss Clifton, who appears as the Maid
of the Forest. and casts spell over her.
Then he makes her perform in midair.
1t Is a beautiful as well as mystifying
act and must be seen to be appreciated.
Miss Jennie DeWeese Is a banjo and
violin soloist and a dancer with many
new steps. She is also trick instru-
mentalist and will create no end of fun
with her little caprices. She plays with
her left hand without changing string.
The motion picture craze has caught the
entire country and Manager West is de-
termined to keep up with the times. The
pictures play an important part on the
programme this week and every film is
new. There will be matlnees Wednesday
and Saturday, and reserved seats may De
secured at Parker's.

Nobel Prize for President.
no pittshnrg Post.

From the Pittsburg Post,
The report that the great Nobel peace
prize is to be given to President Roose-
Welt this year is interesting. Let us hope
that II Is true The Nobel prize of $4,000
is given each year to that person who
shall have best or most promoted the
fraternity of nations and the adjustment
or diminution of standing armies and
the formation and Increase of peace con-
crosses"
Lest any one should be surprised that
our most strenuous public man, the
fiourisher of the big stick, the champion
of a great navy and fighting army, the
bellicose Roosevelt who has lauded war
as an antidote to the cankers of long
peace should be chosen as the peace cham
pion, It may be well to mention that the
President very promptly and successfully
used his good offices to mediate between
Russia and Japan. says the Philadelphia
"Publlc Ledger"
But even II the President had not ended
the Russo Japanese war 1t would be wise
and politics for the trustees to grant the
prize to him. There is a wise principle
underlying such selection. In the west

gerent man In the post or town was al

Trout of HIGH slerras.

From the National Geographic Magazine
The finest trout in the world. saws DR.
Barton w. Evermann of the bureau Of
fisheries, is TO be found In a little stream
of the high Sierras in southern Califor-
mia, called Volcano creek The trout is
named the golden trout" and in beauty
of coloring, gameness and delieacy of
flavor 1t has no equal.
So far as is known, it exists only in
this stream, which is about twenty miles
In length. President Roosevelt recently
called attention of the bureau of fisher
les to this unique specimen. with the re-
suit that DR.. Evermann was sent to Cal
ifornia to study it's habits and environ
ment and to see whether it might not
be introduced elsewhere.
He reports that the trout is in danger
of determination and that fishing In the
stream must be prohibited by the state
of California for three years If the trout
Is to be saved. DR.. Evermann has also
recommended that the bureau of fisheries
undertake the artificial propaga ton of
the trout and cooperate with the state of
California in transplanting it to a num-
Der of barren streams that can be easily
reached.

Becalmed.

From Harpers Weekly
There Is a concert singer In the
west whose voice Is not only OF great
sweetness and compass, but of such
extraordinary power that no orchestra
ever browns its tones.
Now, the husband of this singer fire.
quently acts as her conductor, and he
is ever anxious to impress upon the
fact of the great power of his wife's
voice. On one occasion the lady was
rehearsing for a concert to be given
in a large hall. In one of her songs
she was to be accompanied by trum-
pet obligato. Although the performer,
in obedience to instructions from the
conductor, blew with all his might and
main, yet his best efferts were invari-
ably met with a call of Louder,
louder," from the Unsuitable leader.
Finally the performer rested his In
strument on his knee and, surveying
the leader with every evidence of in
dignation on his purple face, broke out
with:
"Tsouder and louder is ferry easy to
say, but we're is re yind?"

REMARKABLE GRATING.
New Yorker Wears Four Hundred
Pieces of Foreign Skin.

From the New York World
More than two-thirds of his body was
severely burned by an explosion OF
small alcohol lamp nearly three months
ago, but George S. Kilby, 81 years old, of
No SO Gates avenue. Brooklyn, upon
whose body Ala pieces of skin had been
grated, was pronounced cured yesterday.
According to Dr. Herbert C. Allen of
No. 3e4 Cleremont avenue, this is an un-
precedented case in skin grating. 1t was
only made possible by a great number OF
Kllby's friends. who volunteered to save
his life.
Among the first to offer themselves
were little Lucia B. Kilby, ~ years old.
daughter of the afflicted man, and his
father, George F. Kilby. While the child
was being flayed she smilingly told the
surgeon that she suffered no pain, and
that she was willing to stand any torture
to save her Dad. The child was on the
operating table several times
Kilby, employed by firm in Wash

rounds this institution! The peace of God
reigns here.
It would be an instructive lesson for
some of the mothers in this county and
state if they were to pay visit to this
orphans home and see how children are
taught and trained in all the duties which,
as men and women, they will hereafter be
called upon to discharge
As my visit was on a week day and
quite accidental I had an opportunity Of
seeing the daily routine Of life as it pro-
oeeds at the home. 1t was about 10 o'clock
in the forenoon when / reached the place
and was met by the Sister Superior. who
has the management of the whole instl-
tuition entrusted to her, and under whose
guidance I was shown all over the prem
fses.
We have eighty-ive children she said,
varying in age from y to years. More
than half are girls. Some of the children
have one parent living. but many of them
are without either parents or relatives.
The institution is supported mainly on
the charity and voluntary subscriptions Of
the public No distinction is made be-
tween children Of different religons IN
fact there are more non-Catholic than
Catholic children here Visitors are al
ways welcome, but we prefer they would
come ON Sundays so as not 10 interrupt
the children in their work or lessons, We
have made considerable improvements in
the last year, but much still remains to
be done. We hope and expect the picnic

bring us about $1,000 and we have imme-
date use for every cent Of it,"

A New Road Across the Continent.

From the Technical World.
Although less than two years have
passed since the enterprise of building
a line 5000 miles long. from Nova Scotia
to the Pacific, RUNNING through the heart
of the, great fertile belt of Canada, was
launched already the surveys have been
completed and more than 1000 miles
placed under contract for construction
The line from Winnipeg to Port Arthur
consisting of a small portion of the main
line to be built by the government and the
Lake Superior branch. together with the
main line from Winnipeg to Edmonton
will be completed before September,
1907
1t is estimated that it will take seven
wears from 1904 to complete the line from
Moncton to Port Simpson. and until that
time the traffic of the northwest will go
by way of Port Arthur by boat TO some
Great Lake terminus of the Grand Trunk
railway where 1t will be received by
that road for eastern points.

When killings were of everyday occur

there was peace, because on the side of
peace was the man most expert at gun
