SANK Ely.

4 figure of much international note
passes in the death of Ira Sankey, the
great singing evangelist. He and
Dwight Moody stirred the world as no
other two men have stirred it in the
evangelical way before. They had the
spirit and fervor which is necessary
to all successful work of that kind
But above all they had the knack of
getting next to the plain people.
AS composer of gospel hymns
Sankey was a great success and many
of them became classics at the first
recitals as witness his Ninety and
Nine" and when the Msts have
rolled away" His songs, it is said
had a circulation of over $4,000, 900
copies and the great effect that they
had in the famous meetings that they
held is so marvellous that many CON
verts were made after one hymn had
been sung by the yelling chorus that
Sankey led in person. Sankey's own
voice is said to have been so rich and
sweet and full of religious ferver that
people wept at the sound.
The recent experiments which psy-
biologists have made in the depart
ment of music in it's effect on the emo
tional life of man bear out the won
derful stories which are told of this
famous man. IL is not too much to
say that Moody would have had only
a partial success without the help of
Ira Sankey

appeal to the Well-Informed in every

success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs

known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as laxative, and its component

BRONSON HOWARD,

The death of Bronson Howard last
week took away what many of our
fellow countrymen were pleased to
call the Dean of American dramatists.
1t were better to call Bronson Howard
the first of American playwrights. BY
this is no disrespect-it is an honor
which he would rather have borne.
At the time that Bronson Howard
commenced his career the American
stage was overgrown with adaptations
Of European plays. 1t was more merit
to have it said of play that it was
a translation from the French than to
say that it was a typically national
production. 1t is significant that How
ard was the first man to have his
plays translated into other languages
and he was the first man to create a
demand in his own country for native
plays. 1t is in the production and pop
ularization of plays that are American
that Bronson Howard has performed
his most conspicuous service.
AS a rule his characters seldom en-
ter into the graver racial or social
problems which now are so numerous
on the stage. There was in them al
ways faithful representation of mod
ern life and circumstances which had
no deeper intent than monetary inter
est and entertainments In his artist
ry and artifice Mr.. Howard was a mas
| ter and therefore his plays always
acted we'll His Saratoga" and
| Bankers Daughter" are types of his
| earliest successes. His most success
full and artistic play was ''Old Love

THE ATLANTIC CABLE.

Cali idea of connecting Europe with
America by lines extending directly
across the Atlantic is utterly imprac-
ticable and absurd But by way OF
Boring Straits the whole thing is prac-
ticable and its ultimate accomplish
ment is merely a question of time. so
wrote Alexander Jones, the author OF
the History of the Electric Telegraph
in 1852. How vain is prophecy, The
author thought he was we'll within
the bounds of reason. But in 1853 on
the sixteenth day of August the first
cablegram was sent across the Allan
tic ocean.
There is no chapter in the history OF
invention and modern enterprise
which is so full of romance as the
laying of the first cable. The many
difficulties, the unflagging enterprise,
the breaking of the cable on the eve
of success and the final completion
in 1866 have made a record beside
which the mere work of exploration
of country is a mere nothing.
Cyrus Field and his courage is dis
sapating an entire fortune in this pro-
ject assume the size of heroic pro-
portions when his life is examined.
There is little need to pause to con-
business. 1t is a commonplace that
the railroad, the steam boat, the cable
and the telegraph have made the
world a much smaller thing. But it
has only been fifty years age today
since Queen, Victoria sent her mes
sage to President Buchanan. Today
the Atlantic, the Mediterranean. the
Red Sea. the Indian Ocean, the Straits
Settle ments are entangled with the
snaky cable. 1t is the thing that
makes huge empires possible.
1t is well to note that Boring Strait
is as yet given over to sealers and
despite the prophecy of 1852 is still
without the cable which Mr.. Alexan-
der Jones then thought so much more
feasible than The Atlantic cable.
Today there are 247,SSS miles of
cable. 100000 of which are owned by
corporation, the rest are the property
of governments. Although wireless
telegraphy and telephony are making
rapid progress, the cable still holds its
own as it has for the last fifty years
Fifty years ago on August 9, the
New York Herald said: The cable
is laid and now the most honored
name in all the land is that of Cyrus
Field. Bells are rung and guns are
fired and buildings are Illuminated
throughout the land in his honor. The
nation is proud of him, the world
knows him and all mankind is his
debtor"

just In time to prevent the complete
annihilat ton of the little company. the
leaders had escaped with the remnant
of their surprised forces. Scores of
Filipinos were captured, dozens We're
killed and wounded. Eight of the dash
ing scouts who went out with Jerry
Cornell gave up their lives in exchange
for the final victory.
A small guard was left at the con-
vent to care for the wounded, the bulk
of the command hurrying Off at dawn
to search for the routed Filipinos.
Graydon Bansemer was put in charge
of the convent guard A surgeon and
the application of first aid to the in
jured' principles soon transformed
the convent into a well arranged hos
pital. Uncle Sans benevolence was
also cheerfully extended to the wound
ed Filipinos. The days of the water
cure" and ''ungodly butchery" had not
yet come.
Young Velasquez died soon after day
break. He had been dying for days.
His sisters grief was pathetic In the
extreme-aye, demoralizing, for it
struck deep into the hearts of soldiers
who had scoffed at the lifeblood of
man, but could not brave the tears of
a woman.
Bansemer did all in his power to
comfort and console her 1t was to
him that she chung in her despair He
had been her captor. and yet it had
been he who stood forth in his might

was dead. At nightfall the dead were
buried in that faroff wilderness, their
humble graves marked and recorded
before the time when the government
could come to give other graves in
other lands to these who had given
their lives. Velasquez was laid beside
the Americans. Teresa. a shivering,
sobbing little figure in the garb of an
insurgent soldier, was supported by
big Graydon Bansemer. There was no
service except the short army ritual
there was no priest or pastor; there
was but one real mourner-a pretty,
heart broken girl who lay for hours
beside the rude mound on the hillside
Word came back at nightfall that
the detachments were to form a juno
ton at one of the big villages west
ward in two days. The instructions
were that the wounded Filipinos
should be left in the village, where
native women and doctors would care
/ for them
What in thunder are we to do with
the girl?' was the question that came
from the officer in command. More
than one man scratched his head
| thoughtfully and looked toward the
disturbing element that had come into
| the army. She was sitting alone and
disconsoiate in front of the church
There's no way to send her hack TO
her friends. and we can't leave her
here" said Bansemer
But, gee Whit We can't take her

THE SAME OLD BRYAN.

Once it was the money question;
now 1t is Shall the people rule?," or
What shall we do to predatory
wealth." 1t is the same Bryan. In
In 1896 Bryan sought to stir up the
people Of the country by the same ap-
peal to class distinction and the ar
raignment of all business interests be-
cause they were business interests.
That the cure all of Is to 1 was repu-
dated has not made any difference.
1t is the same demagogic appeal. Pick
out a few luxuries and a few abuses
and hurl vigorous epithets at them,
stir up discomfort, promise anything,
and any man can gain an audience.
This has always been the sphere of the
demagogue and always will be. The
demagogue aims at destructfon-any-
thing to win. In his responsibility
he would not stop at the humiliation
of business, but he would tear down
the foundations of organized govern
ment. Anything he can do to make a
misunderstanding is meat for his
cause. And so it goes until we are
hurled into financial and governmental
distress all to satisfy the inordinate
greed for Office of one man.
Bryan's remarks in his speech of no.
LITIGATION did not bear the true ring of
honesty. The man who distorts facts
to make his point is far more danger
Gus than any other. II is to be borne
in mind always that If there ever was
a time in our national history when
the administration of the affairs of
the nation was honest and fearless:
when the whole of the legal depart
ment of the government was ever act
i've in the fight against those who
sought not only to disobey, but evade
the law: ii was in the administration
of Theodore Roosevelt. And Mr.. Bry-

discussion, adopted q resolution pro-
testing against "the admission to the
union of states, carrying such g. CONF
st1tution as Oklahoma, with it's i'm

position to the sophistry of such
