THE BROAD AX OUR TICKET For President—Col. Wm. J. Bryan, of Nebraska. For Vice-President—Corgressman Wm. Sulzer, of New York. OUR PLATFORM Equal and exact justice to every man, woman and child-special privileges to none. Down with trusts, monopolies, unlawful combinations, mob and lynch law, militarism, imperialism. Secret alliances with foreign countries. America for the Americans, Cuba for the Cubans and the Philippine Islands for the Filipinos. We do not propose before passing on to the presidential election of 1852, to elaborate very extensively upon the black laws which were enacted by the non-slaveholding states. But it is sufficient to assert that no state or states surpassed Illinois and Indiana in that direction in 1850 or shortly after the enactment of the fugitive slave law by the Whig Party, the legislature of the later formulated a new state constitution, and its 13th article forbid Negroes from coming into the state and white men from encouraging them to remain. Those two propositions were submitted to the people to act upon separately, and it seems almost impossible to realize that they were ratified by nearly ninety thousand majority. Ten years bedore Indiana adopted her new constitution, Mr. Bigger, the Whig candidate for governor of that state, made himself very popular by proving that Martin Van Buren had favored Negro suffrage in New York. Congressmen Richard W. Thompson, Lane and Wallace and the other Whigs throughout the west gladly followed the leadership of Daniel Webster and Henry Clay, and they approved of the fugitive slave law without changing the dotting of an i or the crossing of a t.4 Daniel Webster, the great oracle of the Whig faith, continued to show his contempt for the free soil Democrats and while he was engaged in ridiculing them and the higher laws, the free soil Democrats of Massachusetts succeeded in electing the illustrious Charles Sumner to the United States Senate, and shortly after assuming his duties in that body, Mr. Sumner moved the repeal of the Fugitive Slave Law, which was instrumental in causing a long and an angry discussion, only ten senators voted for the repeal of the compromise measure and the Fugitive Slave Act, but it showed how signally the attempt to suppress the anti-slavery agitation had failed. Upon the adjournment of Congress in 1851, the time had arrived for the leaders of both parties to prepare for the presidential election of 1852. Franklin Pierce, Lewis Cass, James Buchanan, Stephen A. Douglas and Marcy of New Yory were the leading candidates before the Democratic National Convention which assembled June the first, 1852, and on the forty-ninth ballot the first named gentleman received the nomination. The fifth clause in the Platform adopted by the convention pledged the party to resist all attempts at renewing, in Congress or out of it, the agitation of the Slavery question, under whatever shape of labor. The Whig National Convention Winfield Scott, Daniel Webster and convened June the 16th, general Millard Fillmore were conspicuous ted on the fifty-ninth ballot. The platform which was written by Daniel Webster expressed the reliance of the Whigs "Upon the Intelligene of the American People," and the eighth resolution declared their acquiesience in the compromise Acts of 1850, "as a final settlement, in principle and substance of the subjects to which they relate," and it deprecated "all further agitation of the question thus settled, as dangerous to our peace," and it pledged the party "to discontinance all efforts to continue or renew such agitation, whenever, wherever, or however made." roughly speaking there was scarcely any difference between the Platforms which were adopted by the two national parties. August the eleventh, the Free Soil National convention met in Pittsburg. Henry Wilson was selected as President of convention and the platform it adopted was substantially that of 1848, it set forth the fact "that the Free Democratic party was not organized to aid the Democratic party nor the Whig party, but to defeat both of them, and the purpose of the Free Democratic party is to take possession of the Federal Government, and administer it for the better protection of the rights and interests of the whole people." On this platform John P. Hale, of New Hampshire, who belonged to, the old school of Democracy, was nominated for the Presidency. The real and the most enthusiasm during the Presidential campaign of 1852 was in the ranks of the Free Soilers. John P. Hale was a matchless orator and he stood up as one man against the fearful odds which was united and arrayed against him. The name of John P. Hale should be revered and honored by all lovers of liberty, for he was the last or the third Democrat to run for President on the anti-slavery or Free Soil Ticket or platform as we have stated before the other two were James G. Birney, and Ex-President Martin Van Buren. Those three great Beacon Lights of Democracy made personal and political sacrifices in order to lead their fellow-men on to grander heights so that they could grasp and comprehend the real and the true meaning of the Declaration of Independence, but as usual others have been given credit for the anti-slavery movement. Those who cooly stood by and watched the signs of the times have had the wreath of glory placed upon their brows but they never fought a battle nor suffered personal nor political sacrifices like unto those endured by James G. Birney, Ex-President Martin Van Buren, and John P. Hale. (To Be Continued.) ABSALOM'S DEATH The golden sun raged the whole day through, Then sinking from sight as the evening dew, Till from the Heaven far above; But still a mighty army raged, But still a mighty country was pillaged, For the right and for the wrong, From the weak and from the strong, For God and love. One side beheld a royal youth Descendant of the Trusting Ruth, His brown locks of only eighteen. O'er his shoulders could be seen. His eyes of richest brown Was steadfastly fixed on the ground. In the distant David's army stood The youth's army spattered with blood. 3. Another side beheld a rude Captain Who the king's shekles he had tried to gain. Every day his heart beat high with mutiny and hate Endeavor to make the innocent meet their fate, Now his Majesty made him lord Of Abraham and Israel sword, And told him to look out for Prince Absalom, Warrior and heir to the throne of Jerusalem. 4. The prince turned his soldiers to lay, But rude Joab fiercly drew the sword that day, His army cut through river's bank, The blood of twenty-five thousand and more. Near gushing Gorden's shore, The throne of the Jew "Retreat!" the prince stearnly commanded. "Who would allow their prince dead?" So mounting an ass Under a great oak he did pass, For the first time and for the last, Over the wood he passed The oaken bough bent, And the rebellious prince was spent. 6. Young Jacob in his chariot of brass Persuing the rebels and being last To see Absalom swinging there. But who should he see besides "I have seen Absalom," Jacob replied. "Why didst thou not slaughter him?" Joab cried. HEW TO THE LINE. "And he wouldst have given thee wealth." Jacob said, "Thou haughty Israels, wealth, Thou hadst make me David's heir, I wouldst not have slain one so fair." Then said the angry captain bold, "Where is Absalom bold?" 8. "Under a large oak swinging, Hearing the birds singing Israel's rebellious king." Then Jacob called, "Bring three darts and my ring, And I wilt slay the rebel brave, And David truly rave." And fleet as Sol's bright ray ran Jacob that day. Absalom swinging there still Now a shriek as if to kill! Whose figure in the distance does move? "O God, heaven and earth's soothing Dove, Take pity on David's son, And let his career not be done." 'Tis Joab, the soldier of the king. JUDGE M.

Thursday, Feb. 22d., at a meeting of the National Committee held in Washington, D. C., it was decided to hold the National Convention of 1900, July, 4th, at Kansas City, Mo. There was quite a spirited contest between Milwaukee and Kansas City, Mo., but the latter city to the gratification of all walked away with the plum. This is more pleasing to us for we were opposed to Milwaukee from the start and we were glad to see Mayorhorserosebud, and the other would-be representatives of Milwaukee get it in the neck. They can now return to their sleepy town and mediate on the might have been. A. J. Sabbath, the popular West Side justice, has requested his name to be placed on the Broad Ax mailing list, and he sent the money in order to help oil the machinery. Justice Sabath is the financial secretary of the Cook county Democratic club, and he discharges his duties in that connection to the satisfaction of all. --- 10. They killed David's offspring. There being no quorum present at the Phyllis Wheatly Club last Wednesday, no meeting was held. Justice John Fitzgerald has adorned his manly in a bran new vest of combination colorings, which is very attractive and pleasing to the eye. Mrs. Liza Harris, of 4764 Armour Ave., has been confined to her home through illness but her many friends hope to see her out soon, complete y restored to health. Prof. Wm. Salter addressed the Society for Ethical Culture, Steinway hall, 17 E. Van Buren street, Sunday morning on the "Trust Problem, or Whither Are We Tending?" James Donohoe. Assistant Prosscuting Attorney of Chicago, is alert and is ever ready to look after the people's interet. Mr. Donohoe is way up in the law and some day he will be Chicago's City Attorney. Sunday, Feb. 25, Hon. Clarence S. Darrow, lectured at Handel hall, 40 E. Randolph St., on "Government by In- F. TULEY. splendor upon the legal profession than any other single individual in the United States. junction." Mr Dorrow's legal training well fits him to handle such grave and important subjects. Alderman Martin has got a scrap on his hands with his son-in-law or brother-in-law, ex-Alderman Wm. J. O'Brien and the scrap may be hard and pretty severe. But it is our opinion that Alderman Martin will come out on top. Alderman John Bigane, of the 28th ward, has about concluded that he does not desire to serve another term in the city council, and if he adheres to this idea, he will be greatly missed by his associates after the swearing in of the new council. Col. Burke, Superintendant of the Sewer department, is one of the hardest worked offices in the city hall. But notwithstanding his exacting duties, he always recognizes his friends. The colonel reflects credit upon Mayor Harrison's administration. Henry Stuckart, who is known far and near by all the unterrified and unwashed hosts of Democracy, has numerous friends who would like to see him selected as a delegate to the Democratic National Convention, or his name adorn the county ticket. The fifth annual Douglas day exercises were held by the Douglas League at their club rooms, 5058 Dearborn st. Wednesday evening, Feb. 21st. In addition to the smoker and elegant refreshments which were served, extended and appropriate remarks were made by Col. B. F. Mosely, Judge W. H. A. Moore, S. Lang Williams, Richard W. Harrison, Rev. P. A. Hubert, Albert B. George, and several others. President J. B. Hart, Secretary W. H. Davis, deserve the highest commend- --- CHIPS. ation for so royally entertaining the guests of the evening, and each one present will certainly long remember the fifth annual exercise of the Douglas League. Mr. Zola C. Green, Manager of the Cold Blast Feather Company, has been elected President of the Furniture Manufacturers' Association of Chicago, and the association should feel highly honored in having such a capable business man as Mr. Green to pilot its affairs. Some few citizens residing in the 16th ward, who wear large sized Angel's-winges upon their shoulders, inend to prevent the re-nomination and re-election of Alderman Stanley H. Kunze. But the alderman will make a persistent fight and his friends believe that he will be victorious. The Cook County Democratic Club will visit New Orleans, during the Mardi Gras and while there, will do a little missionary work for Democracy, owing to the absence of many of the leaders who will accompany the club, the State committee will not meet at Springfield until Wednesday, March the 4th. The meeting was presided over by Mrs. M. P. Jackson, President of the Federation. The addresses by the ladies were extremely interesting and full of ideas suitable to the occasion and they emphasized the necessity of carrying life or Fraternal insurance. The Presidents and Vice-Presidents of the various clubs of the city occupied seats on the platform. The Zion church in connection with Rev. P. A. Hubert, late of New York, and Bishop G. W. Clinton, have for several months been negotiating for the purchase of a Railroad Chapel, located on Dearborn, near 39th street. It was their purpose to transform it into an institutional church but it passed into the hands of other parties and it will be used by the A. M. E. denomination. Wednesday night, Feb. 28th, the Silver Leaf Charity Club, of which Mrs. Anna Tucker is President, will give an entertainment at Douglas League hall, 5058 Dearborn street, for the benefit of the Old Folk's Home. Good music and a good social time is promised to all who attend. Refreshments will be served. Admission ten cents. Come and bring your friends and assist this most worthy cause. The mass meeting, which was held at Bethel church Tuesday night under the auspices of the Women's Federation, was largely attended. It was addressed by Mrs. Corrinne Brown, the very popular and noted club woman of this city. Mrs. Roundtree, State Commander of the Maccabees; Mrs. Evans, President of the Order of Foresters; Dr. Bell Eskridge; Mrs. Edwards, President of the Worthy Tribune; Mrs. L. A. Davis, State organizer of the N. A. C. W., and Hon. Frank J. Wheaton, Grand organizer of the United Brotherhood. Borman's orchestra furnished excellent music. The fight between the friends of Alderman C. J. Boyd and Fredrick A. Hart is becoming very bitter, which is greatly to be deplored for both gentlemen are capable of representing the ward in the city council, and neither one has a life mortgage on the ward or upon the position which is sought by both. The ward will be here, the people will be here and the city of Chicago will stand for a few years longer if neither one is nominated. Alderman Boyd should feel proud of his record. But at the same time his friends must not endeavor to blacken the character of Mr. Hart. For his reputation for fairness and honesty is above reproach. A very instructive meeting of the Mother's Council was held last Monday afternoon at the home of Mrs. S. J. Hart, 4841 Armour avenue. The lessons in Hope of the Fireside School, were continued after which the meeting was open to discussion. Mrs. Wbster and Cotton made extended remarks on how mothers should instruct their girls in all matters pertaining to their future welfare; not to let them roam the streets by day or by night, but they must keep close to their daughter and make constant companions of them, and wield such a refining influence over them for good that there will be no danger of them ever wandering from the path of rectitude. Miss Becca Hill favored the ladies with a fine piano solo, which was much enjoyed. The Council will meet with Mrs. Hart Monday, Feb. 26, NO. 18. at 2 p. m. All ladies interested are cordially invited. The Second Ward Democratic Club gave its annual ball at Freiberg's hall, East 22d street, last Wednesday night. and it was well attended and very successful in every respect. Its president, Wm. E. Burns, favored us with an invitation, thus showing his broad-mindedness The following leaders of the party in that ward were present and joined in the festivities: Alderman Chas. F. Gunther, Col. M. C. Emerich, Hon. Simon Fish, Hon. James Hackett, Hon. P. J. Cook, Hon. Jacob W. Richards, Dr. M. F. Murray, J. E. Todd, Emil Heghinger, John Riley, J. Joseph Feeney, Leon Wiel, Samuel M. Palmer, James Doherty, P. J. Sheehan, Joseph Williams, James R. Doherty, Benamin Hollenstein, Henry T: Murray, Matt N. Leinen, James Ahearn, and many others. WHAT THE LAW DECIDES. Libelous publication about a deceased person is held, in Bradt va. Nonpareil company (Iowa), 45 L. R. A. 681, to give the mother of the deceased no right of action. Employes working more than eight hours per day in violation of a statuta are held, in Bullion, Beck & Co. Mining company (Utah), 45 L. R. A. 603 to have no right of action on the contract or on a quantum meruit. Owner of premises dangerous to trespassers is held, in Cooper vs. Overton (Tenn.). 45 L. R. A. 591, to have no liability for injuries to trespassers even if they are children, unless they are induced to enter the premises by something unusual and attractive placed upon it by the owner or with his knowledge and permitted to remain there. A communication made in good faith in the course of his duty, by the cashier of a bank, by indorsing on a dishonored note held for collection that it was a forgery, is held, in Caldwell vs. Story (Ky.). 45 L. R. A. 135, to be a privileged communication which does not create any liability for libel, though it is intimated that the maker may be liable for slander if he falsely declares the note is forged. A statute receiving a barred remedy so as to impair a title to property which has vested under the statute or limitations is held, in McEldowney vs. Wyatt (W. Va.), 45 L. R. A. 609, to be unconstitutional as a deprivation of property without due process of law; but it is held otherwise with the revival of a cause of action which does not affect any vested right of property. With this case there is a note discussing the other authorities on the question of vested rights in defense or statute of limitations. WITH THE SAGES Destiny clings close to character.—Dr. Storrs.

Re- ferring to the Civil War period he said: “Amid the storm of passion who was the man, the embodiment of all that was best and noblest in northern ctvil- ization, and even in American civiliza- tion, who stood as the great apostle of liberty? Whose words of fervid elo- quence marshaled the northern hosts? Whose high moral purpose, whose grandeur of character and greatness of soul, sustained those hosts in adversity and defeat? Who stood like a colos- sus towering above the smaller, meaner men who surrounded him, and who ‘must ever stand above them,command- ing the admiration and love of all true men everywhere? Who? Abra- ham Lincoln; and I, from South Caro- lina, tell you so and feel honored in doing it. “Whatever motives may be attributed to others, whatever of selfishness or ambition that entered into the calcu- lations of others, I here declare it is my belief that he never had a thought in connection with the whole subject nor uttered a word that did not have its inspiration in the purest patriotism and the noblest aspiration for human- ity. He did not consider the Declara- tion of Independence an academic ques- tion. It was a religion.” CONGRESSIONAL FUNERALS, Mrs. Chickering, widow of the New York congressman, who met his death in an accident last Wednesday, has chosen wisely in declining to counte- mance the pagan rite known as a con- gressional funeral. Such obsequies merely furnish an excuse for a junket- ing party of senators and congressmen, who journey to the funeral jn a special train liberally stocked with stimulants and who turn up at the mortuary serv- ices redolent of whisky and stale to- bacco smoke. The spectacle is unedi- fying and Mrs. Chickering, like other sensible people, sees in it no honor to the dead and a scandal to the living. The statesmen who were assigned to attend the Chickering funeral may be disappointed, but they can solace themselves by getting drunk in Wash- ington instead of New York. BOERS REFUSING AID. Simultaneously with the departure of the fifty-seven men composing the Irish relief corps from New York for South Africa comes the announcement from the European secretary of the Boer relief fund committee that ali the money, supplies, and men needed for the present have been furnished to that organization. The committee has stopped receiving money and desires it to be understood that it is in no need of further assistance at present. This seems to indicate that the Boers are not wanting in sympathizers in any part of the world, and that the re- sponse of their friends to their first and only appeal for assistance was prompt and generous. ROBERTS IX THE FREE STATE. Lord Roberts cheered the English people and strengthened their conf- dence in him by making his first im- portant maneuver in South Africa with brilliant success. The movement of his force in reality marked the open- ing of a new campaign. It brought a British army for the first time upon the territory of the Boers and consti- tuted the first step in a new strategic plan. The maneuver was carefully planned and executed with a rapidity and adroitness which seem to indicate that England at last has a capable strategist in the field. ' SRIVTATE PROPERTY AND LAW. _ An important decision in a case in- volving property and contract rights has been rendered in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. It is justly regarded as a vindication of reasonable industrial liberty and a re- ‘buke to legislators who make assaults upon property in violation of the spirit of the Constitution and American prin- eiples of government. The court re- ‘ferred to has set aside an act of con- gress as invalid because repugnant to the fourteenth amendment, which pro- hibits the taking of private property without due proceas of law.

The Farms in His Neighborhood Are Being Rapidly Taken Up by Former Besidents of the United States. The following extracts from a lette: written to Mr. Benj. Davies, Canadiar government agent at St. Paul, Minn. give an excellent idea of what is said of Western Canada by those who have | gone there during the past two or three years. F “When we first arrived here and took @p our homes on the prairie near Dalesboro, Assa., for a short time we had a fit of the ‘blues,’ but now all hands are settled to business, hale, hearty and contented, enjoying the ‘finest winter we have ever seen. We ave got very comfortably situated, with considerable preparations for a crop, and all hopeful. I think this is a@ very fine country, and if the past sea- on's crop is not an exception, which they claim not, I believe this is going to be the wheat field of the West. It is filling up fast. In this township last spring there were 25 quarter-sections of land vacant and today there is not one. I can stand at my house and count ten houses where there was not one last spring, with six more to go up this spring. This is only a sample of what is going on all round. We intend to build a church next summer, right close to my place, so we will be strictly in line. It would have amused you to have been here last spring. There were crowds of land-seekers, and some- times in the spring the prairie is not very inviting, and of course lots were discontented. There was one in the crowd who jumped on me for putting a letter in the paper, only for which he never would have come here, and he was very hostile, but eventually he got a place and today claims he would not take a thousand dollars and move out, so I am glad he is satisfied. “Well, my dear sir, as Arthur Fin- ney is about to move out in March, with his family, and also one of my eons, anything you can do for them to assist them along and to make things smooth as possible, will be greatly appreciated by me. I will close for this time, and will write from time to time to let you know we are living. Drop us a few lines to let us know how things are moving in St. Paul. “Yours Respectfully, “ALEX.

Daniels, general passenger agent of the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad, has added steamship bureau to the equipment of the passenger'service of the road. He has engaged Captain Louis Ingwersen end F. A. G. Schultze to superintend the bureau, and one of their duties will be to meet all incoming trans-Atlantic and the principal coastwise steamships to assist passengers who wish to leave the city via the Vanderbilt system. Capt. Ingwersen will have charge of the American, Cunard, White Star, At- lantic Transport, Wilson, Anchor and Allan-State lines, and Capt. Schultze has beenassigned to the North-German Lloyd, Hamburg-American, Frenck, Rotterdam, Red Star and Thingvalla lings. They will meet all incoming steam- ships, and will be prepared to furnish railway tickets, parlor and sleeping car accommodations and to assist passen- gers with their baggage and check it to points on the line of the railroad, after it has been passed by the customs inspectors. They will also furnish pas- sengers with cabs operated by the rail- Toad company, and furnish time tables and general information to passengers. The two men have also been directed to assist passengers who come to this city with a view of going abroad, and such passengers will be met at th» Grand Central Station on incoming trains and conducted to the steamship. Their baggage will be attended to, and steamship tickets can be procured in advance by communiceting with Mr. Daniels—From the New York Com- mercial Advertiser. Kew Method of Lighting Tunncla A new method of lighting tunnels is about to be adopted in one constructed in Paris for an electric road. Electric lamps will be turned on automatically as the train enters the tunnel and cut off automatically as it emerges. The lights are arranged on each side on a level with the windows of the cars, so that during daytime it will not be nec- essarry to turn on the light in the cars. This mode has been devised by @ French inventor, and doubtless will be found of great utility.

Se Bec-Dreasted Seagster Enjoying Great Popularity. In the usual course of change in fashions, which affect the choice of pets just as much as they affect taste in dress, literature and drama, that old favorite the piping bullfinch is coming into high favor in New York just now. The bullfinsh is “the parrot of the tem- Perate zone,” not because he ever learns to talk, like his tropical proto- type, but because, having no “wood notes wili” of his own, he can learn to whistle human music and often dis- tinguishes himself as a soloist. A leading New York bird seller who is now doing a flourishing business in bullfinches last week gave this account of the bullfinch revival: “They used to be favorite pets on the other side; I don’t know that they were ever before very popular here. Of course, the bull- finch is not an American bird, but a native of Europe. Some of those I im- Port ceme from England, but more from Germany. As you know, a fash- ion like that is generally set going by | some notable or another. In this case the German kaiser is responsible. Bull- finches are a hobby with him; he has six of them that whistle ‘Die Wacht am Rhein’ in chorus, and now some of my men from over there tell me he has @ new bird learning to whistle a song which has lately become popular in Germany—‘Kruger Is a Bully Boy.’™ This somewhat startling indication of the kaiser’s international tendencies, the dealer said, has not yet got into print on this side of the Atlantic. “But,” he added, “we in the trade are far ahead of the papers on all that kind of news,” The consignments of birds are brought over from Germany under the care of a regular professional “vogelhandler.” The great field for gathering bullfinches is said to be the duchy of Hesse. There the birds are taken, unfledged, from the nests and patiently taught to whistle their iittie | repertoires while they are still young.

In spite of its bloody war witb Great Britain the South African Re- public has had time to plan and com- plete a building at the coming Paris Exposition and make it ready for the Transvaal exhibit. Every visitor to the great exposition will be specially interested in this display. The chief feature of the exhibit will be a collec- tion of native minerals, including the gold ores of the Rand and uncut dia- monds. The exhibit will also contain specimens of the agricultural industry of the Transvaal, such as fruit and cereals. A collection of hunting tro- phies, including the skins of lions, leopards and other wild animals, will show what the Boers have had to en- counter in their marcb nortb ae “ . i a ) t/ I Si Steerer Ys I sr 4» a pe rere eo) ie AA ea Pe | pe eer Saray linge fe BP ee SES ee SSS — bad a THE TRANSVAAL BUILDING AT THE PARIS EXPOSITION. through the wilderness. The building has two stories, with a central tower and cupolas on the corners. At Last a Self-Regulatinge Clock. Sn eee a a ke ee oo ee eee er rer A really noteworthy invention is ; clock that has run without winding since August, 1898. It was designed by P. M. Ravenskilde of Illinois, whe claims that it has received absolutel} no attention since the initiatory tick The clock is run with a wheel of sixty inches in circumference, and from the outside of the wheel are suspended one hundred and twenty cups, forty o! which contain steel balls three-eighths of an inch in diameter. Every minute and a half, as the wheel turns by the weight of the balls, one of them falls out of its cup and rolls down an in- clined plane twenty inches long, when by its weight it reunites a broken cir- euit of electricity and is elevated by a little car traveling along another in- clined plane to the top of the wheel where it falls into a cup. After the wheel discharges its cargo it is carried back to its original station by its weight. From cup to cup a ball trav- els three feet. The electricity used is generated by an ordinary storage bat- tery, and requires no attention for a year or more. Value of Sop as a Disinfectant. Soap is an important health factor White almond soap and potash soa; are claimed to destroy choler. serms In all germ diseases copious use of soap in washing is recommendéd by physicians, It is not only the remova) of dirt and effete matter by the use of soap, but the destruction of microbes, parasites and germs of disease. ‘The spot in the Swins Alps that at- tracts the winter sportsmen of Europe is the Cresta run, at St. Morits, which is just one mile in length. The to- Dogganing season here begins about the middle of November, when the first snow falls. The condition of the run is not left to chance, but the slide is prepared under the direction of a com- mittee. Swiss toboggans, in contrast to the Canadian ones, made entirely of wood, are raised on runners shod with fron or steel. The expert rider Mes prono upon the toboggan, head foremost, both hands grasping the framework at the sides, and both feet employed in steering. Iron spikes are securing to the toes of the boots, and by trailing one or the other foot along the ground the big sled may be guided. But as this fashion of steering tends to diminish the speed, the most skill- ful riders use the feet as little as pos- sible and depend upon shifting the po- sition. Though the Cresta run is a mile in length, the whole distance may be made in seventy seconds. At the steepest point a mile a minute is made. When an able and experienced physt- cian offers to give away $4,000 worth of a New Personal Treatment for diseases of the heart, nerves, stomach or dropsy, it is conclusive evidence that he has great faith in it. And when hundreds of prom!- nent men and women freely testify to his unusual skill and the superiority of his improved system of treatment, his liber- ality Is certainly worthy of serious con- sideration. Hon. C. M. Buck, Faribault, Minn., states: “Dr. Miles cured me after six well-known physicians of Chicago and elsewhere had completely failed.” We advise all those who wish $2.50 worth of Treatment especially prepared for their case to write at once to The Dr. Miles Medical Association, 201 to 209 State St. Chicago. “How did Sinclair Shabbs win that rich Boston girl?” “He told her to think of all the lux- uries she would be able to give hin if she married him.’—Chicago Rec- ord.

I then tried Ayer's Cherry Pectoral and it gave me immediate relief. I don't believe there is a cough remedy in the world anywhere near as good."—W. C. Layton, Sidell, Ill. May 29, 1899. Cures Night Colds How will your cough be tonight? Worse, probably. For it's first a cold, then a cough, then bronchitis or pneumonia, and at last consumption. Coughs always tend downward. It's first the throat and then the lungs. They don't naturally tend to get well. You have to help Nature a little. You can stop this downward tendency any time by taking Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. Then take it tonight. You will cough less and sleep better, and by tomorrow at this time you will be greatly improved. You can get a small bottle of Ayer's Cherry Pectal, now, for 25 cents. For hard coughs, bronchitis, asthma, and the croup, the 50 cent size is better. For chronic cases, as consumption, and to keep on hand, the $1.00 size is most economical.

One of the most interesting characters about Washington is Capt. Charles Loeffler, the confidential messenger and doorkeeper of the president. Capt. Loeffler probably knows more famous men than any other person living, because he has stood at the entrance of the executive chamber for over 30 years, and everybody who has entered the presence of the chief magistrate of this nation during all that time has handed a card to him. Capt. Loeffler is a native of Germany, but he came to this country when a child, and enlisted in the army as soon as he became of age. He rose from the ranks to be a sergeant before the civil war broke out, serving as a trooper under Fitzhugh Lee, and was detailed for confidential duty with Secretary Stanton at the war department. During the entire war he served as a messenger and bearer of dispatches for President Lincoln and Secretary Stanton to the commanding generals in the field, and US US CAPT. LOEFFLER the day after the assassination of President Lincoln was detailed as a body guard for Secretary Stanton. That was not a very pleasant duty just at that time. The president had been murdered, the secretary of state lay at the point of death because of the attack of an assassin, and every member of the administration, it was believed, was marked for a similar fate. Secretary Stanton was the most offensive of all the officials of the government to the conspirators, and many attempts were made upon his life. Loeffler was with him night and day. He guarded the door of his office and slept in his bed-chamber. The day after the inauguration of Gen. Grant Capt. Loeffler was detailed as an orderly for the president, and took charge of the door at which he now stands. He has been there ever since. President McKinley made him a captain in the army. Hearing With the Eyes. All over Europe today deaf and dumb mutes are being taught to communicate with the world by articulate speech. The oral method, which develops the voice by training the sight, so that congenital mutes literally hear with the eye, is entirely superseding the use of a sign language. This is accomplished by accustoming the eyes of a child to distinguish and remember the movement of the lips that accompany certain vowel and consonant sounds. At the beginning the pupil is taught to hold one hand upon the throat and the other upon the chest of the instructor in order to note the various different vibrations produced in the body by emitting letters and word sounds. He then places his hands in similar positions on his own body and endeavors to imitate the sounds. Average deaf and dumb children are taught, by the oral method, to speak and write connected and often intricate sentences in sixteen months' time. They have, in fact, learned to hear with the eyes. Pupils in the eighth year write elaborate essays and read anything on sight, carrying on a conversation with an entire stranger with perfect ease. The first man to teach pure oral speech to deaf mutes was Samuel Heinecke, of Germany. Automatic Glass-Blower. The old method of blowing glass has been entirely superseded in the glass manufactory at St. Helens, England, by automatic machinery that greatly increases the output of the furnaces and lessens the expense of manufacturing. The new arrangement consists of molds and blowpipes worked by compressed air, and is automatic in action. By the old methods of glassblowing the daily output of a full gang of expert workmen rarely exceeded four hundred tumblers. Mechanical glass blowing turns out tumblers at the rate of five thousand a day, lamp chimneys at the rate of three thousand a day, and large articles at a proportionate rate of speed. The Capital of the Whole World. The recent report of the director of the mint at Washington, taken in connection with similar reports made throughout the world, goes to show that the money capital of the universe makes the neat sum total of twelve billion and some few millions of dollars. Of this amount about $4,360,000,000 is made up in gold, $4,270,000,000 in silver, and the rest is in paper. Of this sum the United States owns $2,453,780,223.

The distance is three and one-quarter miles, and the trip is made in seven and one-half minutes. The carriers hold about 300 letters, and they make a total of 2,000 trips per day. $100 Reward, $100.

Hall's Catarrch Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work.

SPARKS OF ELECTRICITY In the experimenting which has been carried on in South Africa with the Marconi system in wireless telegraphy it was found that cannonading had no effect on the system. Signals have been sent by wireless telegraph through a suite of seven rooms, the doors of which were closed. They were transmitted through a telegraph switchboard containing both dead and live wires. A submarine cable from Cape Town has been laid to St. Helena, and the cable was landed Nov. 23, 1829.

In London a burglar has been caught and among his implements of trade was found a portable electric-light set. It was undoubtedly intended to be used in his business, as it could be easily switched on and off and there would be an entire absence of odor. There has been opened the first Chinese electric railway and it connects the Peking railway station and the south gate of the capital. The Chinese have no serious objections to electricity, as it does not profane the air as does the locomotive, which irritates the spirits of the water and air. In the laundry of an insane asylum at Pontiac, Mich., electric irons instead of gas irons have proved to be peculiarly adapted for insane asylum service where most of the work is done by the patients. There is no chance of their setting anything on fire with the irons, and as the irons are kept at an even temperature they do not require the exercise of judgment in changing them. THOUGHTS BY FRENCH WRITERS Love has no worse enemy than self-love. A daughter's likeness to her mother has both promises and threats. Married women are untiring matchmakers. Is this charity or revenge? We love the women we find beautiful; we find beautiful the woman we love. Courage among men is not as rare as people say; see how many of them marry. Women have a way of saying all and telling nothing; of saying nothing and telling all. Women have good eyes for detail, but a whole escapes them; they are capital at miniatures, bad at architecture. To ask which is the better, man or woman, in their natural diversity, is to ask which weighs the more, a pound of feathers or a pound of lead. In older times love killed prudence; today prudence wreaks its revenge and kills love.—From the French of Gustave Vapereau. SAGE OF SAWHAW SAYS. A vein of humor is often wholly in vain.

Mr. Julius F. Taylor, Editor Broad Ax. Dear Sir-I am glad to learn of the work that is being done by your paper in behalf of Chicago platform principles. That platform stands for such a government as Jefferson and Lincoln favored, namely, a government of the people, for the people and by the people, and I believe that such a government will prove a blessing to the great majority of the people. Yours truly, W. J. Bryan. July 15th, 1899. To whom it may concern: Julius F. Taylor, who comes to this city well recommended, has begun the publication of "The Broad Ax," which, I am informed, will disseminate Democratic principles and contend for the higher intellectual development of the Afro-American race and mankind in general. While he is thus engaged I bespeak for him the hearty support of all loyal and true friends of Democracy. Respectfully. Carter H. Harrison. Headquarters of Democratic State Central Committee of Illinois, Sherman House, Chicago, Oct. 5th, 1899. To whom it may concern: This is to certify that Mr. Julius F. Taylor, editor of The Broad Ax—a publication of this city devoted to the interests of the democratic party, and an able exponent of democratic principles—comes to us highly recommended, and I therefore take pleasure in commending him to the favorable consideration of democrats with whom he may come in business contact. Chairman Democratic State Central Committee of Illinois.
