CHARM OF LONDON GONE.
Returned from Long Sojourn
Abroad.

London.-"I am sorry / ever came
back" said an Englishman who has
just returned after an absence of ten
years in Canada.
THE place | have thought about
and dreamed of throughout my trav-
els and which was SO lear to me be-
fore | quilted England has disap-
peared. Gone are the picturesque
buildings, Obliterated are the histori-
cal associations and persisted is the
peculiar charm which made London
SO dear to its natives.
"In the place of it we have wide
streets waiting for houses to border
them; we have gigantic buildings
with little claim to architectural
beauty; we have tubes in all direc-
tons for the molelike population who
love to burrow underground and we
have a crowd of motor buses which
make day and night alike hideous
with their granting, their screecbing
and their clatter. But the charm of
London-the poetry of our great city
which was SO indescribably fasci-
natkg has departed"

Scientinc medical authorities are
waging a war on soap; that is, soap
In a form commonly used. The cakes
OF toilet soap for promiscuous use
have already been driven from nearly
all the hotels and office buildings in
New York. Some startling discov-
cries were made recently in tests OF
soap taken from a number of New
York hotels. Filth and disease bac-
terra were found in nearly every sam
pie. The soap from the irst-class ho-
tells was no better than hat found
In cheaper hostelries.

CHINATOWN SECRETS
PERISH WITH THE BURNING
OF SAN FRANCISCO.
Underground Passages Wherein Many
Prisoners and Mysteries Were
Reduced to Ashes and
Oblivion.

LUIS AHSeleS Cal.-tOr the nrSt
time in half a century the depths OF
Chinatown are open to the eyes of
white men," said w. w. Overton, who
reached Los Angeles among the refu-
gees.
No heap of smoking ruins marks
the sight of the wooden warrens where
the slat-eyed men of the Orient dwelt
In thousands. The place is pitted with
deep holes and scared with dark pas
sageways, from whose depths come
smoke wreaths. All the wood has gone
and the winds are streaking the ashes
Men, white men, never knew the
depth of Chinatown's underground
city, says Mr.. Overton. They often
talked of these subterranean runways.
And many of them had gone beneath
the street levels two and three stories.
But now that Chinatown has been un
masked, for the destroyed buildings
were only a mask, men from the hill.
side have looked on where its inner Sc
crets lay.
In places they can see passages 100
feet deep. The fire swept this Mon
golian section clean. 1t left no shred
of the painted wooden fabric. 1t ate
down to the bare ground, and this lies
stark, for the breeze have taken away
the light ashes.
Joss houses and mission schools,
grocery stores and opium dens, gamb-
ling hells and theaters-all of them
went. TIL buildings blazed up like
tissue paper lanterns when the gut
tering candle touched their sides.
From this place I saw hundreds of
frenzied yellow men flee. In their arms
they bore their opium pipes, their
money bags, their silks and their chill
dren. Beside them ran the baggy
trousered women, and some of them
hobbled painfully.
These were men and women Of the
surface. Far beneath the streets in
those cellars and passageways were
other lives. Women who never saw the
day from their darkened prisons and
blinking %jailers were caught like rats
in a huge trap. Their very bones were
eaten by the flames.
And nov there remain only the
holes. They pit the hillside like a null
titude Of ground swallow nests. They
shows depths which the police never
knew. The secrets of those burrows
will never be known, for into them the
hungry fire first sifted it's red Goals
and then licked eagerly in tongues of
creeping flames, finally obliterating
everything except the earth itself"

and investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above all,
possessed of a wonderfully sympathetic
nature.
In 1S43 she married Isaac Pinkham
builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and daugh-
ter
In those good old-fashioned days it
was common for mothers to make their
own home medicines from roots and
herbs, natures own emedies-calling
in physician only in especially urgent
cases. By tradition and experience
many Of them gained wonderful
knowledge of the curative properties Of
the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took great interest
in the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature so
bountlfully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods of all
kinds so, if we but take the pains to
find them, in the roots and herbs Of the
field there are remedies expressly de-
signed to cure the various ills and weak
nesses of the body, and it was her pleas.
ure to search these out, and prepare
simple and effective medicines for her
own family and friends.
Chief of these was rare combina-
ton of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure Of the ills and weaknesses peculiar
to the female sex, and Lydia E. Pink
hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this so far was done freely, with
out money and without price, as labor
of love.
But in 1873 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were too
much for the large real estate interests
of the Pinkham family, as this class Of
business suffered most from fearful de-
preston, so when the Centennial year
dawned it found their property swept
away. Some other source Of income
had to be found.
AT this point Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound was made known
to the world.

Miss ROOseyelt's Engagement Ring.

Miss Alice Roosevelt, daughter of
the Prvsrlent and fance of Represen-
tative Nicholas Longworth, is now
wearing her engagement ring. 1t is
of three superb, pigeon-blood rubies,
surrounded with good-sized diamonds.
She has for some weeks been wearing
a ring of much value, both intrinsic
and sentimental, to the Longworth
family, it being an ancient heirloom.
This was single sapphire set in a
plain, dull gold band, the setting be-.
ing Of unique workmanship. The new
ring of rubies and diamonds is about
the most pretentious piece Of jewelry
Miss Roosevelt has ever worn. At
all state functions and brilliant pri-
vate affairs the Presidents daughter
has appeared with conspicuous alb.
sence of Jewelry Of all kinds. She
has never worn earrings nor more
than the modeet little gold chain
about her neck, and as a rule no rings
upon her fingers at all. When she
appeared, therefore, with the beauti-
full sapphire of Mr.. Longworth's to
wear until he should have purchased
suitable emblem betting the &C.
casion it attracted general attention.
Miss Roosevelt is distinctly modest,
even about this significant emblem,
and has not yet appeared in public
with it upon her finger. unless 1t was
concealed By a glove.

departed this life two years ago, De
Gem Der %, 1903. Gone, but not forgot
ten.
In the graveyard softly sleeping,
Where the flowers gently wave,
Lies the one we love so dearly,
In his lonely, silent grave.
God alone knows how we miss him
In our home, . father, dear
How for thee our heart is yearning,
How we long thy voice to hear.
There are some that still will linger,
Near the spot where he is laid,
And will come and scatter flowers
Der the grave that death has made
He is waiting by the river,
Just across the silver stream,
Where sweet flowers are ever blooming
And the banks are ever green.
When the wintry storms are Ger
And the spring comes fresh and fair
We will,meekly kneel beside him
And plant his chosen flower there.
Oft we wander 10 the graveyard,
Flowers to strew with gentle care
On the grave OF our dear father
Who is resting sweetly there.

Now let the dirt fly |

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Morgan Messenger, says that "Sena,
tor Elkins has become national char.
acter and one Of the most influential
men in the Upper House" This is,
of course, true. But he has become
known throughout the nation because
he stands as the champion of the rail
road mOnopolies and opposes the leg
islation that would restrain the inor
dinate greed Of these great corpora
tons. As for his influence, it wer.
better that he had none than to use
it so directly against the interests OF
the people.
While there are many things about
Senator Elkins that we admire, his
attitude on the railroad rate question
is such as to demand that the people
take up new man as his successor
He has deliberately cast his lot with
tie great corporations and has failec
the people by whose grace he sits il

a Senator who will stand by them
when they need representative.

Murders and Suicides.

Unofficial statistics of the year
show that the number of murders
and suicides in this country has great
ly increased and that there has been
decrease in the mum Der of legal
hangings compared with the number
of homicides. The homicides and
deaths by violence number 9,2l2, as
compared with 1882 last year.
The startling feature of the record
is the increase in the number of MUIR
ders committed in cold blood by
highwaymen, burglars and that class
of criminals, the number being 582,
against 464 in 1904.
Jealousy provoked $40 murders
and liquor 642.
The total number of suicides is g.
982, an increase of $40 over the list
of the preceding year.
Poison was resorted to in 1872
cases, shooting in 1851 cases, hang
ing in 1922. and drowning in 1858.
Ten blew themselves up with dyn-
amite and three starved themselves.
The legal executions numbered 1873,
of which 81 were in the North and
80 in the South. Seventy.three were
negroes, So white and l Chinaman.
The number of lynchings was &c,
the smallest number reported since
1885, when statistics were first gath
cred by the press.

GOVERNOR CUMMINs of Iowa poured
some hot shot into Senator Elkins of
West Virginia the other day. In a
speech at Des Moines he related viz.
idly his experience before the Senate
Committee on Interstate Commerce
several mouths ago, when Senator
Elkins cross-examined him for six
hours after having given direct tes-
timony for 80 minutes. A railroad
attorney sat at Senator Elkins' elbow
and suggested the questions to be
asked. Said the Governor 1.-THE as
ISOLATION between Elkins and that
railroad lawyer was so loving that
they sat with arms entwined. And
when l observed the attitude of that
man who had taken an oath to repre-
sent all the people, and | realized the
closeness of the association, | said
that as long as l have strength shall
denounce the spectacle from one end
of the country to the other"
The people of West Virginia should
demand OF the next Legislature a
Senator who will represent their in
terests instead of the greedy railroads
and other monopolies-and this re-
gardless of any deal that may be ar
ranged by party leaders or politicians
who hold federal office.

Organ Recital.

VI Ilh ANSSAttAh
The organ recital given in the
Presbyterian church Monday evening
by DR.. Minor G. Baldwin, of New
York, with the new Moller organ re-
Gently installed, was a musical en-
tertainment such as the people of a
country community seldom have the
pleasure of attending. DR.. Baldwin
is master of music, an artist whose
every touch shows genius, and it was
rare treat to hear his Interpretation
Of the best work of the great must
clans of the world as well as his own
sweet and harmonious compositions.
His repertoire included selections
from Bach, Handel, Rossini, Gounod
and Wagner. The pedal solos from
Bach were simply wonderful, while
of his own composition The Shep.
herds Evening Song and The Tenn
pest were thrilling and lovely. The
large church was crowded with an ap-
preciative audience that was generous
with its applause and which DR..
Baldwin felt to be in full sympathy
with his work. The organ numbers
were interpreted with a solo sweetly
rendered by Miss Ellen Turner and
very pretty trio by Misses Rachel
Turner and Elizabeth Spohn and
Charles Unseld.
