ALBANY, n. Y. Sept. 17.-"Thank
God. the bosses are hearing from the
people!"
That was the only comment obtain
able today from William Sulzer, inn
peached governor of the State Of New
York. On the eve OF his formal ar
raignment before the High Court,
which will determine whether he is
to continue to discharge the duties of
the high Office to which he was elect
ed by the people of the State last 40
vember Sulzer seemed outwardly
confident. He wanted to talk when
he greeted the correspondent of the
United Press at the Peoples House.
But his attorneys, fearful that he
might disclose something which
might afford aid and comfort" to the
enemy, have gagged him. He has
been directed to let them do the talk
ing and convinced that this is the
wise policy. he has obeyed the order.
Sulzer remained in his working
office in the executive Offices until
long after daylight today. consulting
the returns from yesterdays pri-
maries He carried telegram from
, former Congressman Mahaney, of
Buffalo II told of the defeat in Erie
county of State Committeeman Will

ed the announcement. the first official
word that had cached him of the
result OF the appeal 10 the people"
as highly significant. He intimated
that he believed II would have real
effect on the vote of certain of the
senators who are to sit in judgment
on him. When he finally consented
to go to bed he was still talk
ing confidently" he said Of the
victory already won"
In the capitol building Office today
Sulzer took up with apparent joy the
plan Of working out the few remain
ing details of his defense.
The High Court of impeachment
meets tomorrow This will be the
first political trial OF transcendent
importance since a new set of po-
litical ideals placed on a higher level
the standards set by the people for
public servants in positions of power
and trust. Nearly all of the impeach-
ment trials of the past-and they
have been very few in number-havt
been the outcome of chaotic condi-
tions in the commonwealths affected
With the solitary exception Of the
impeachment trial of Andrew John
son, Chief Executive of the Nation
this will be the first real recall
trial of an executive which has at
tracted the attention of the entire
world.
On two persons, woman and
man, Suffers fate seems today to de-
pend. The woman is his devoted
wife, who has been so pronounced Q
factor in his announced public de-
fiance OF boss rule. She, Sulzcr''
friends have claimed. is really re-
sponsible for his present difficulty. i
is claimed that the stock speculation

ent impeachment proceedings are
predicated, we're sponsored by Mrs
Sulzer.
II is stated with considerable EN-
phasis that Mrs. Sulzer will tell he
own story in her own way befor'
the bar of impeachment court If sh'
does, she will lend an intensely hu
man touch TO a proceeding abou
which there is still very much mys

Travelling through the Chesapeake and
Delaware canal from Delaware City to
Lorewood Grove, the delegations from
this city, Philadelphia. Chester aud New
Castle gazed on one of the prettiest sec
tions of the Diamond State.
The purchase of the canal by the gov
eminent is but a part of the scheme to
have an inland waterways system from
the rock ribbed coast Of Maine 10 the
flowery land of the South. That this
plan would bring untold millions OF dol
lars worth of commerce 10 the several
coast States is 70 be the keynote of tine
addresses at the grove.
Went on the Clyde.
The Philadelphians left their home city
this morning at 730 O'Clock ON the
steamer Thomas Clyde with more than
200 business men from that place. They
were accompanied by by the First In
fantry Band Of this city, which went to
the Quaker City carly today As the
steamer wended its way down the river
those aboard were astounded at the
signs of prosperity seen on all sides.
Steel mills, car shops, iron fopndries and
other industries, all having material
bearing on water transportation, we're
passed. and as the vessel reached point
opposite this city the advantages OF
Wilmington as commercial center were
apparent TO all, although there was much
comment that the river front is not de-
veloped with docks, wharves and indus
tries With its acres of water front
ahutting in the Delaware, which some
OF tine largest vessels in the world ira
verse. the advocates of greater water
ways realized the possibilities Of this
city as a shipping center.
After the smoke from this city's in
dustrics was left astern, the steel mills
of New Castle, but a few miles south
appeared. and when the Clyde drew into
Delaware street wharf there IL was
greeted by more than 100 residents of
this city and New Castle TO Join the
party. Those from Wilmington went to
New Castle on II o'clock cars from Front
and Market streets, and also on Later

BETTER THAN ANY COSMETIC
Combination of Repose and ReIaxa-
tion Is the Only Beauty Secret
That Is Worth Knowing.

There is beauty secret, not found
in cosmetics, and which does not lin
ger in the perfume-laden hangings of
the parlor Of the masseuse. 1t is a
secret which any woman can possess,
and its magic effect is almost in
stantly noted. The secret is merely
a combination of repose and relaxa-
ton.
A restful woman always appears to
advantage. There is culture in a re-
pose of manner that makes itself felt
both at home and in public. There
is a suggestion of reserve intellectual
strength, more impressive than the
uneasiness of the woman who feels
that her tongue or her body must be
in motion to let the world know she
is in it.
At the same time, the wear and
tear will leave the marks of strain
on complexion and figure, which NO
creams or lotions can remove To
grow old gracefully and beautifully
learn to take things easy. Repose is
more beautifying than rouge, and re.
taxation more bodybuilding than

COCA COLA HABIT, A GHOST.

We have all heard Of ghosts, but none
OF us have ever seen one. It's the same
way with coca cola "fiends;" you can
hear about them but you might search
for them until doom's day and you
would never find one. Physicians who
have treated hundreds OF thousands OF
drug-habit cases, including opium, NOR
phine, cocaine, alcohol etc, say that
they have never seen a case where the
use of Coca-Cola has so fastened itself
upon the individual as to constitute a
habit in the true sense Of the word. Al
though millions of glasses of Coca-Cola
are drunk every year, no Coca-Cola
fiends have ever made themselves Wis
ible at the doors of the sanitariums for
the treatment of drug habits.
The Coca-Cola habit is analogous to
the beefsteak habit and to the straw
berry habit and the ice cream habit.
People drink Coca-Cola first because
they see it advertised and thereafter
because 1t tastes good and refreshes
their minds and bodies. They drink it
when they can get it and contentedly
do without it when they can't get it.
II you had ever witnessed the rawlings
of a real drug fiend when deprived OF
his drug, If you had ever observed the
agony he suffers, you would never
again be so unfair as to mention Coca
Cola in the same breath with the
"habit-forming" drugs.-Adv.

Along Waterway.

London.-At Benares you realize
that Hinduism is a living thing, and
it presents itself with a beauty and
pathos which are astonishing to the
visitor who has thought of it only as
antiquated idolatry.
Just now the Ganges is low, and
the long flights of steps, the CHATS, are
bare almost to the bottom, but in the
ruined colonnades and entertainments
and a temple actually slidden into the
water the power and ravages of the
river in 4od are seen. We embark on
a miniature boathouse, and seat our.
selves on the roof; and'we are slowly
rowed up the stream, as far as the
tree-covered terrace where Warren
Hastings took refuge from the out.
ragged people of the city; then down
the stream to Sle mosque with its tall
minarets which Aurungzeb erected to
flout the HIndus and rebuke their
idolatry But neither Warren Hast
ings nor Aurungzeb, neither Moslem
nor Christian, neither east nor west,
has made any appreciate change in
the customs, the rites, the religious
ideas which find their picturesque ex-
preston in that mile or more of river
front.
The bank is steep and rises to the
height of 200 feet. On it rise temples,
with their carved sikras and gilded
SUBMITS, jumbled together with pal.
aces, fat rooted, piled high on solid
and imposing battlements, and med
ley of steps and terraces, and gate
ways, through which the river is
reached from the city. The buildings
are yellow, or terra Gotta colored,
gilded, and otherwise, so that the eff
feet is hardly less beautiful than that
of the Grand canal. Sacred bulls are
tethered in many places, to which the
people salaam. Everywhere are the
gay colors in which India delights.
Garments of bright orange, blue, mag
enta, iris colors, and dazzling white
make the whole scene brilliant in the
morning sun.

Draped Lace TUNES,

Although, perhaps, the lace tunic
has a tendency to age its wearer, it
has compromising merits which rec
ommend it to women of middle age
and even younger women who have a
tendency to stoutness. For the close
fitting pointed tunic of black lace cut
with the upper part in the form of a
coat tends to make the figure look
slim in a manner that many, alas, find
eminently desirable as years come
fast upon them.
The favorite lace employed is Chan.
tilly, and when one knows how to
drape artistically nothing can be more
elegant. On the contrary, nothing
can be dowdier than a drapery which
seeks to be artistic and fails lament
ably in the attempt.
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1913-08-08

Here long row of women with man
or two crouches on the very brink;
and a Brahmin priest, naked but for
loin cloth, passes from one to another
and gives them the sacred mark. They
put the water of the river on his feet
and kiss them; then they drink the
water which has touched him from
their hands One woman rises up,
her arms straight above her head, and
makes obeisance. The priest gives
them some irections-mutters his
mantras-and waves his hands in to-
ken of dismissal.
Though it is not easy to distinguish
the ordinary washing and bathing
from the sacred function, there is
enough of the manifested act of wor-
ship to give to the scene an air of
solemnity Men and women are mix
ed, but no one regards any one else.
Each is engaged in his own ablution,
physical or spiritual. Here a woman
crouches, splashing the water on her
| face and making mystical marks on
forehead and breast. Here a man
stands in the water, revolving and
folding his hands together each time
in his revolution as he faces the sun,
Here is another man in a red cloak
standing UP to his waist and mutter-
ing with whirring sound. There he
stands daily from 8 a. m. to noon,
and has done SO for nine years. His
eyes are bleared with the sun, all ex-
preston has left his face. He is like
| a mechanism of devotion.
In another place young men, NUT
tering their prayers, plunge into the
stream and return to their little
matted platforms. There must be
three dips to accomplish the necessary
purgation. AS the bathers return
through the narrow street they shrink
from contact Wfth>the passerby, for If
they touch they must return and re-
peat their washing.

EXCELLENT FOR TENDER SKIN
Victim of Sunburn VIII Find Relief
in This Preparation, Which Is
Home Remedy.

A preparation that will suit most
sunburned is made by mixing togeth-
er four ounces of pure almond meal,
an ounce of powdered orris, two
ounces of powdered CASTLE soap, one
half drachm oil of bergamot, four
drops of bitter almond oil and a quar-
ter of a drachm of extract Of musk.
Only tepid water should be used on
the skin and after wetting it rub on
some Of the above preparation in
stead of using soap, using the hands
to make the application because a
wash cloth usually causes friction and
this, added to sunburned skin,
would make it sore and tender. More
water is used and the skin is cleansed
with the hands and finally rinsed sew
eral times and with old soft towels
patted dry. Then a mere suspicion
of cold cream is massaged into the
skin and so left for the night
Any girl or woman who will be
careful to protect her skin and care
for it as just described even though
1t is naturally of a dry texture will
not burn or tan nearly as quickly as
will the girl with the oily skin. One
would think that girl with oily skin
would not burn as readily as the girl
with the dry skin on account of suff.
cient oily moisture, but nevertheless
