Shame!

In Saturdays debate Leader Payne
was most uneQually matched against
Leader Williams. Not only could Mr..
Williams cite ten cases of foul elec-
tions to one cited by Mr.. Payne, but
he could and he did knock the stuff
fing out of the Republicans when he
shook his forefnger defiantly into the
blanched face of their wilted Chief
tain and said: Here I stand. l stand
to challenge you that every dollar that
goes into campaign fund shall be
published to the world the day after
it is received, so that the world may
know the motive of the giver and may
Judge the means of corruption in the
hands of the recipient
The silence that followed could be
heard three thousand miles. 1t could
be heard from Buzzard's Bay to Crater
Lake-from the dome of the Capitol
on the Potomac to the Lick Observa-
tory in Santa Clara Valley-as Mr..
Payne, tired of leading the majority;
sank helplessly into the abyss OF con-
fession, daring not to accept the chal-
lenge.
That single passage tells the whole
story. Never mind the past" said
Mr. Williams "the Presidential rape
of 1876; the crisp, new two-dollar bills
and blocks of five, of 1880; Bel
shazzars Feast, in 1884; the whole
sale bribery and spoliation of 1896 and
1900 and 1904, when widows and Or
phans were plundered to make Nc
Kinley' and Roosevelt holiday! Never
mind the denials and the proof of
guilt! Never mind the stealing, the
lying and the hypocrisy that have
been. Let bygones be bygones! What
do you say to the future? What will
you do now?"
And poor Payne could utter never
a word. Nor, in all that House full
of Republicans was there one voice
brave enough, one heart honest enough,
to shout back in defance-to call Mr..
Williams hand-"We will pass the
Publicity bill here and now"
Shame upon the Republican party;
shame upon its leaders; shame, shame,
shame!

SUICIDE AFTER SACRIFICE.
Ill Man Spends Money on Daughter
Then Drinks Poison.

New York, May 25.-Julius Katz,
an expert cloth examiner, ended his
life by poison today after one of the
supremest acts of self-sacrifice.
He had been taken i'll several
months, ago, and when informed by a
physician that he was afflicted with
cancer of the stomach, began at once
to save money for an expensive opera
ton which would, at least temporarily,
relieve him. Four weeks ago, just as
the necessary sum had been obtained,
his little daughter was stricken with
spinal meningitis, and the question
arose as to whether father or daugh-
ter should go to the hospital for treat
ment. Katz settled it without mo-
ments hesitation, and today the little
girl has practically recovered from
the dread disease. But the little fund
which Katz saved had been exhausted.
In the meantime, the sick mans
malady had been steadily progressing.
Yesterday he worked all day balanc-
ing books of several Hebrew organiza-
tions of which he was treasurer, and,
after they had been balanced to a cent,
he swallowed the poison which ended
his life. 5E L

EASILY GROWN VINES.
Boston Ivy, Virginia Creeper and
Others.

For beautifying the veranda or COW
ering the wall of brick or stone
house with a living coat of green
which will be a joy to every lover OF
nature there is a large variety OF
vines which grow with little care and
are perpetual delight.
The Boston ivy and Virginia creep
er, two vines known throughout Amer
lea, cling to walls without support,
and so are especially useful for COW
ering walls. The former is not as
hardy as the latter, but in the middle
and southern latitudes it succeeds
we'll, and forms a beautiful mass
against a wall. The Virginia creeper
is perfectly hardy. 1t will hide ugly
stone fences, outbuildings and dead
trees, Transforming them into things
of beauty.
The rapid-growing Virginia bower
vine is excellent for the veranda, CIV
ing dense shade. 1t presents
snowy bank of star-shaped flowers OF
delightful fragrance, which last for
several weeks. A companion va
riety of clematis, coccinea, has rose
colored flowers, which resemble half
closed rosebuds at a distance. Gle
matis paniculate, the Japan clematis
is one of the best of vines, growing
rapidly and presenting snowy mass
of blossoms when in flower.
The wistaria is a good vine for a
trellis, but is somewhat coarse for most
verandas, being better suited for the
rustic house or pergoria, where its de-
lightful purple flowers hang in grace
full profusion. The Crimson Ramb-
ler rose is one of the hardest and
most satisfactory OF climbers, ad-
mirably suited for the veranda.

Sulphur and MOlasses as Spring
Blood Purifier.

The unpleasant but beauty making
cure OF our grandmoIhers of taking
doses OF sulphur and molasses each
Spring has never been bettered.
Few modern women know how this
tlme-honored remedy is used. Here
IS the way our mothers were afflicted
for their good in their childhood. IF
you remember far enough back Won
have not forgotten how much better
you felt after the treatment on your
own children. -
Get five cents worth of sulphur pre-
cipitate; powder it fInely so all lumps
are removed and put two teaspoonfils
OF it in a covered glass mixing with if
six teaspoonfuls of molasses or sirup.
Take spoonful oi this concoction
night and morning for three days. !.
omit for three days, repeat and omit
until the medicine has been taken
for nine, days altogether.
Keep the mixture in covered glass
or the sickness of it will attract
enough flies and dust microbes to
counteract the good effects.

Most Terrible of Weapons.

British newspapers seem to take
seriously the claim of the inventor
of the new electric weapon-it is not
a gun the inventor says-that it will
throw heavy shells at the rate of fifty
per minute to a distance of 800 miles
or more. Ns H
4 With it a hostile army in Montreal
could drop shells into Boston or New
York.
Col. Maude, British military writer
of note, says that the claims are well
founded and that the inventor will re-
volutionize warfare if it does not COM
pei universal peace. The electric
weapon, having no recoil, may be car
.ried on small vessel. If the claims
are true all big battleships will be
useless and everything in naval, plans
will have to be sacrificed to speed; for
the warship that gets there first is the
warship that will win.

Long visits, long stories, long essays

main facts in your case. If you
pray, ask for what you think you will
receive, and get through; if you
speak, tell your message, and hold your
peace; if you write, boil down two
sentences into one, and three words
into two.
