SERMONS ON HEALTH.
Ministers Will Aid in Suppression O
 Typhoid.

Chicago. Oct. 17-All church. -goers in West Pullman probably will hear the same sermon tomorrow and 1t will be on health.
 Utilizing the pulpit for this purpose, in an emergency, is the idea of the Chicago authorities. An appeal for assistance in stopping the rapid spread of typhoid fever which is assuming the magnit~Tde of an epidemic in the southern section of the city. was sent yesterday to fifty druggists phy sicians and citizens by pr. W. A. Evans. commissioner of health.
 It was followed today by an appeal to the clergy direct to speak before their respective congregations on Sun day for the purpose of arousing the people to the danger which they face and persuading them to take elemen- tarv precautions With such assist ance it is believed the disease can be prevented from spreading.

BRYAN AND CHANLER
THEY WILL WIN IN NEW YORK,
 SAYS vANDIvER.
Mir. vandfver is Now in Washington, and Gives Out an Interesting Interview Regarding the Po-
 IiticaI Outlook.

Washington, D. O., Oct. 17.-(Spe- eial.)--w. F. Vahdiver. of Montgom- ery is here after a stay of some time h New York City. He will remain un- Ill after the hearing on the 21st in- ptant, before the Interstate Commerce Commission. in the case of the Mont gomery Freight Bureau against the Louisville and Nashville and other railroads.
 In an interview to-day Mir. Vandi- yer said that he had been in Michi- gan and much of the West since leav- Ing home in July. His first impressions were unfavorable to Mir. Bryan. but he soon saw that the Democratic can didate was gaining steadily.
 When I went East, l thought the odds there" Mir. Vandiver explained seemed far too great for him, but developments from week to week have steadily added to his chances. His last speeches in the East. whatever partisan bias may represent to the contrary. have greatly enhanced his prestige as a sincere and high minded statesman, and there is not the slight est doubt that he has gained im- mensely in popular favor In New York and elsewhere in the East.
 He has grown and broadened in character and attainments. His con sistent sincerity and his unblemished integrity. with his captivating manner have won him admiration and support. CTS among tn thousands of people who al nrst were inclined to regard him eith. CT with indifference or positive disap. proval. These new friends are amone hiS most ardent advocates
 If Tammany will give the Demo. cratic national ticket a loyal support at the polls. William J. Bryan will gel the electoral vote of New York. Oi course, much depends upon the labor vote in the East, but a big part ot the labor vote in New York City i, part or Tammany. have heard s good deal of talk of trading to gel Cnanler votes. but I have also heard this denied by reputable Tammanv men. Chanler already has far the bet ter or the race over Hughes and if seems to stand to reason that there VIII be no need to resort to such s practice to defeat Hughes. The anti. pathy 10 Hughes among many Repub. Mcans IS much more important than dneir devotion to Taft.
 At any rate. there Is no doubt ir my mind that Bryan has gained i'm. mehseiy in the East in the last few weeks and he Is continuing to Rain. "

 in common with the land fairies than
 have the nereids of the open sea.
 Nearly all these surface spirits seem
 to possess the power of raising them
 selves out of their proper element and
 floating in or flying through the afr for
 short distance. They delight in play
 ing amid the dashing foam or riding
 in upon the breakers. They are less pronounced in the stunning Of man
 than their brethren on the land, per-
 haps because man has so much less
 chance of interfering with them. They
 do not descend to any great depth be-
 low the surface, never below the reach of light.
 Fond of Falling Waters.
 Some beautiful sorts of fairies in- habit inland waters where man has
 not made the conditions impossible. The filth and the chemicals with which
 water Is polluted near large town
 disgust them, but they have no objec- ton to the watershed of quiet coun- try nook, for they may be seen dis- porting themselves in a mill race. They
 delight in falling waters, and at Ni- be seen in the summer, although they generally keep well out toward the center of the falls and the rapids.
 The sylphs are the highest type in tho kingdom of the native spirits. At this stage the lines of development both

Cheap Postage.

brOOklyn EaBle.
 The country has been slow in adopt ing these cheapened rates and when a reduction has been made 1t has been so made upon the demonstration of the consequence following the reduction in Great Britain even at this time. Great Britain, and indeed continental Flu rope, leads this country in the matter of carrying by post parcels limited 10 five pounds. An importing house Of New York had an experience last week which shows the difference and the lead of Europe in this matter. It imported on an order from a Washington instI- tuition certain goods, weighing in the package less than five pounds. were sent by parcels post under stamps cost Ing Se cents. Receiving the package, the firm sent 1t forward by express, the only way to Washington, at a cost of 55 cents. It. therefore, cost 19 cents more to send it from New York to Washington than 1t did to carry 1t from Germany to New York. 1he next step should be the adoption of the parcels post system in such successful opera tion abroad.

They Like Little Children.

occasionally fairies have been known to attach themselves to little children and develop a strong attachment for them, especially for such as are dreamy and imaginative. since they are able to see and delight in the thought forces with which such child surrounds him self. There even have been cases where the fairies took a fancy to some unus- ually attractive baby and made an att tempt to carry it away to their own haunts their intention being to save 1t from what seems to them the horri- ble fate of growing up into the aver age human being. Vague traditions of such attempts account forethe part of the folk stories about changelings,
