The Broad Ax

THE BROAD AX HEW TO THE LINE. Whenever we have any occasion to pass orthodox churohes it always causes the warm blood which courses through our veins to become as cold as ice water, and our heart to become sad and weary, when we think of the vast number of liberty-loving men and women who have been put to death by its leaders because they refused to believe all of their nonsensical ideas and theories, and not among the least of that great number who felt the strong arm of the church was Giordano Bruno, who was one of the greatest scientific men that the world has ever produced, yet he was cruelly tortured and put to death by the church simply because he could not and would not remain silent concerning the false doctrine which the church was teaching respecting the construction of the universe. Bruno was also one of the most eminent scientific authors of his time or generation. His master or most valuable work is entitled "Infinity of the Universe," "Evening Conversation on Ash Wednesday," an apology for the Copernion system and of "The One Sole Cause of Things." To these may be added an allegory published in 1584, "The Expulsion of the Triumphant Blast." He also collected for the use of future astronomers, all the observations he could find respecting the new star which so suddenly appeared in the heavens in Cassiopeia, A. D., 1572. Originally Erno was intended for the church, but he was led into doubt by his meditations on the subject of transubstantiation, and the immaculate conception. Not caring to conceal his opinion he soon fell under censure of the spiritual authorities and it became necessary for him to seek refuge in Switzerland, France, England and Germany. But his tormentors followed his tracks remorselessly and they eventually hunted him back to Sonny Italy, where he was arrested while residing in Venice and he was confined in the Piombi for six years without books, or paper, or friends, In his "Evening Conversations" he insisted that the scriptures were never intended to teach science but morals only, that they cannot be received as of any authority on astronomical and physical subjects, especially must we reject the view they reveal to us of the constitution of the world, that the earth is a flat surface, supported on pillars, that the sky is a firmament, the floor of heaven. On the contrary we must believe that the universe is infinite, that it is filled with self-luminous and opaque worlds, many of them inhabited; that there is nothing above nor around us but space and twinkling stars. His meditations or these subjects had forced him to the conclusion that there is an intellect which animates the universe and of this intellect the visible world is only an emanation or manifestation, originated and sustained by force derived from it, and if that would be withdrawn all things would disappear. That everything is ready to become organized and to burst into life, that the gods are therefore "the one soul of thians the all in all." On the demand of the spiritual fathers Bruno was removed from Venice to the beautiful city of Rome, and confined in the Prison of the Inquisition, accused not only of being a heretic, but also a hereslarch, who had written things unseemly concerning religion; the special charge preferred against him being that he had taught the plurality of worlds, a doctrine which will ever be considered repugnant to the teachings of the scriptures and inimical to revealed religion and the plan of salvation by faith, and after being imprisoned for another period of two years he was brought before his judges and declared guilty of the act alleged and he was excommunicated, and on his nobly refusing to recant he was delivered over to the secular authorities to be punished "as mercifully as possible, without the shedding of his blood," the horrible formula for burning a prisoner at the stake, knowing well that though his tormentors might or could destroy his body his thoughts would still live in the hearts of those who have from ancient times to the present endeavored to hold aloft the torch of reason and of love, he said to his judges "Perhaps it is with greater fear that you pass the sentence upon me than I receive it." The sentence was carried into effect and Bruno was burnt at Rome Feb. 16, 1600. No one can recall without sentiments of pity the sufferings of all those countless martyrs who have surrendered their lives for the sake of their religious opinions, but the great majority of them always had a powerful and unfailing support. The passage from this life to the next through the dark valley of death, though a hard-trial, was the passage from transient trouble to eternal happiness, an escape from the cruelty of this hard and unfeeling world, to the charity of heaven on his way through the dismal valley, the martyr firmly believed there was an invisible hand that led him, a friend that would guide him all the more gently and firmly because of the terrors of the flames. But for our highly esteemed and valiant friend there was no such support. The philosophical opinions, for the sake of which Bruno surrendered his life could give him no consolation for he was compelled to fight his last great battle single-handed and alone. Three hundred and one years have elapsed since Bruno was burnt to death at the stake and his ashes scattered to the four corners of the earth as it were, therefore, on this day, let our orthodox theologians, their followers, the enemies of science and progress, rejoice with those who have always kept well to the front in the onward march of the human race and civilization, that the teachings and theories which were advanced by Bruno are acknowledged to be correct by all of the most enlightened nations on the face of the earth. The Country Democracy ball held at the First Regiment Armory Tuesday night was the most successful of all the balls given by the County Democracy. The grand march was led by Mayor Carter H. Harrison and Miss Hellen Eldred, Mr. Ortselfen and Mrs. R. E. Burke came next to Mayor Harrison and Miss Eldred, who in turn were followed by hundreds of fashionably attired ladies and gentlemen. President John Powers, Vice-President J. H. Brunjes, James J. Gray, Secretary Robert E. Burke, A. J. Sabath, Marshal James H. Farrell, M. C. McDonald, John G. Hceger, L. G. Matalene, James T. Jones, Hon. Vincent H. Perkins, John H. Sullivan, Walter V. Magnus, William J: O'Brien, Joseph J. Ward, Frank W. Solon, John H. Dullard, James C. Dooley, Fred E. Eldred, Thomas J. Powers, F. W. Blocki, Richard E. Burke and other leaders of the County Democracy worked extremely hard to make the ball a grand success. The Phyllis Wheatly Club rooms, 5058 Dearborn street, were filled to overflowing Wednesday afternoon with girls. They came in response to an invitation sent out by the club members last week, that they desired to meet all girls from the age of 9 to 18. Mrs. A. M. Nott, who has been a special worker among children for some time made the opening remarks and stated the object of the meeting. She was followed by President L. A. Davis who laid before the girls the plan of organizing a Sunshine Club among them and fully explained the aims and objects of such an organization. The project met with general favor among the girls and much enthusiasm manifested. The meeting closed by singing "Scatter Sunshine," after which lunch was served to all present. The club will entertain the girls again next Wednesday and perfect arrangements for a thorough organization of this new society among children. The members of the Douglass League will entertain their friends at a reception on Douglass day, Monday evening, Feb. 18, at Douglass League Hall, 5058 Dearborn street. Ladies are cordially invited to attend. A pleasant time is assured to all. CAPTAIN WILLIAM P. BLACK ON ABRAHAM LINCOLN. Tuesday evening, Feb. 12, Captain William P. Black, who is well known throughout this great nation addressed the members and friends of the Thomas Jefferson League at St. Mark's Church, 47th and State street, on "Abraham Lincoln." The program was as follows: Song by the Crescent Lady Quartette, which is composed of Mrs. E. J. Harris, first soprano; Miss Gertrude Jackson, 2nd soprano; Mrs. M. E. Crump, first contralto; Mrs. Della Ridgway, second contralto; and before proceeding any further we want to cheerfully commend the Crescent Lady Quartette to all who need their services. James H. Harris, who served in the Union army all through the war spoke on "The Negro in the Civil War;" next came Enos Bond, who also wore the blue, and talked on "The Negro in the Grand Army of the Republic." Robert T. Sims, who has expended more time and energy than any one else connected with The Thomas Jefferson League in order to make it a success had for his theme "The Negro in the Spanish-American War." Before Captain Black begun his grand and soul-inspiring oration on "Abraham Lincoln," the Lady Quartette sang "My Old Kentucky Home," for the benefit of the Captain, for Captain Black and Abraham Lincoln were both born in Kentucky, and he was visibly effected while listening to the singing of that good old song which will never die. As the Captain arose to deliver his address he was given a very warm reception by the large number present. We would like to reproduce Captain Black's oration in full if space permitted it, for it is worthy of the perusal of all men. In concluding he said: "The years, as they pass, but add luster to his reknown, divest us of all possible prejudices; clarify our judgments; increase our admiration, and deepen our reverence for this man, the singular simplicity of whose life, the beautiful sincerity of whose character, the sincere and tender nature of whose love for the people, made him, while the chief executive of a great nation, in a time tempting its leader to the exercise of arbitrary and despotic power, self-forgetful and full of a marvellous self-renunciation, the friend and brother of the lowliest and humblest citizen in all the land. "Therefore, I present Abraham Lincoln to your thoughts, I commend him to your judgments, I commit him to your hearts and your love, as an ideal patriot, standing with his head among the stars, while his feet touch the tender and common earth, that is all about us. With such ideals we are summoned to high duties, to noble purposes., to deep resolves. The heritage which was bought for us by the blood of our revolutionary sires, under the splendid leadership of Washington, which was preserved for us in the blood of the soldiers of '61 under the firm but gentle and yet superb leadership of Lincoln—this heritage let us transmit to those that shall come after us, unimpaired, and fully safeguard, 'that government of the people, by the people and for the people,' shall not perish from the earth." P. S. When the interesting meeting drew to a close, Rev. J. W. Robinson moved that a rising vote of thanks be extended to Captain Black for his most excellent address on "Abraham Lincoln." Mr. Robert T. Sims moved that the Captain be made an honorary member of the Thomas Jefferson League. Both resolutions were unanimously carried. Of all the men spoken of for alderman from the 31st ward P. J. Murphy is more than likely to be chosen to make the race. Mr. Murphy is very popular with all classes and he is also very friendly to the colored people, and if he should receive the nomination many of them would vote for him. He is a large tax-payer and has received the endorsement of the Ashland Club. He is head of the firm of Murphy Bron., corner of 63d and Ashland avenue. DANIEL M. JACKSON. It affords us much pleasure to publish the following letter for the edification of the readers of The Broad Ax: Herewith I send you my compliments, your Broad Ax is a good attempt at journalism, it truly typifies the negro democrat yourself being a good illustration. Many nigger democrats that I have come in contact with are democrats because they are too lazy to earn a living by work and in some strange manner they manage to live on "democratic bull." The nigger democratic journalists are like the poor people of Ancient Pompeii (generations to come will wonder how it happened) but being humane one ought to have mercy upon you because God Almighty neglected to properly arrange your cerebellum. Please I again implore you to discontinue sending me your paper. We consigned all former editions to the ash-box they being too vile to occupy a place in the tiolet rooms. Now I can't tell you how sorry I am that I am indentified as belonging to a race or nationality that is burdened by the like of you, all I can say. Mr. Jackson has for years boasted and blowed about his great scholaristic attainments, for he asserts that he was reared from his infancy inside the college walls. If so, then it naturally occurs to us that the only thing he did was to clean the floors while watching those whom he was supposed to associate with drink in the enlightment. For if any one will take the trouble to read his jumbled up letter they must admit that any nine-year-old school boy or girl can excel big Dan. in the Use of diction. He begins his letter by saying, herewith I, whereas he should have said, I herewith, what he meant or wanted to say in the next line was that The Broad ax is almost as good as The Chicago Tribune or The Times-Herald, but he did not possess a sufficient amount of sense to say so. If there is any man living or dead who can tell us what Democratic "bull" means, then we will pass it on up to them. Big Dan has been such a big and strong bull himself for lo, those many years, that it is easy for him to imagine that all honest men or Democrats who do not think and conduct themselves the same as he does are bulls. If it has come to pass that God or the Gods have be come so weak and powerless that they are compelled to select such creatures as Dan. Jackson to sit in judgment on the amount of gray matter to be deposited in each and every cranium then we cannot refrain from arriving at the conclusion that God or the Gods are very poor businessmen or perhaps they, the Gods, delight to train with men who have spent all their time in wading in licentiousness and debauchery up to their big ears. Now will you be good. Dan old boy? Being unaccustomed to letter writing, Dan says "editions" when he wanted to say issues, and it is the opinion of all men who are not wrong in their upper stories that the ash-box is a very respectable receptacle, for in many instances gold watches and other jewelry have been found in ash-boxes. Dan was so eager to use the word contempt that he has placed himself in contempt. Mr. Jackson in all sincerity we would admonish you to study the art of composition for at least ten years before you again attempt to write another letter to The Broad Ax. Aledrman W. F. Brennan is in favor of cutting down the number of aldermen who now occupy seats in the city council to thirty-five and pay each alderman the sum of five thousand dollars per year. Alderma. Brennan's head is level in that respect and it would be much better for the tax-payers if such a scheme could be carried out, then a higher grade of businessmen would not be adverse to occupying seats in the city council. According to statistics furnished by the United States government, the professions followed by women have largely increased in the last thirty years. In 1870 there was one woman architect; now there are fifty. Painters and sculptors have grown from 412 to 16,000, literary and scientific writers from 109 to 3,161, preachers from 67 to 1,522, dentists from 34 to 471, engineers from 67 to 201, journalists from 35 to 472, lawyers from 5 to 6,882, accountants from 0 to 43,071, copyists and secretaries from 8,010 to 92,824, and stenographers and copyists from 7 to 50,633.—Ex. CHIPS. If A. J. Ryan is not renominated for city attorney the mantle is liable to fall on the shoulders of John E. Owens. Ex-County Commissioner Edward H. Wright and family occupied a box at the Auditorium Wednesday night and witnessed those who danced for the benefit of the Old Folk's Home. Lawyer Hugh J. Kearns, Ashland block, is able and brilliant and there is much talk among the leaders of the party to select Mr. Kearns for city attorney. Jacob L. Parks, the undertaker and embalmer, 3155 State street, may consent to run as an independent candidate for alderman from the Third ward. Attorney Charles H. Mitchell, Unity building, is one of the best members of the city committee. He is from the new 32d ward and his many friends greatly honor him for his manhood and integrity. James J. McNarney, who is making new friends in all parts of the 30th ward will march into the aldermanic procession with quite a strong following and the other candidates will know that he is still in the ring. Mr. P. S. Umbles, of Kansas City, Mo., president of the Negro State Democratic League and a senior law student, has been appointed assistant doorkeeper in the senate chamber at Jefferson City.—Ex. Ex-Alderman M. McInerney continues in the lead for the nomination for Alderman from the 30th ward and he now believes he is got the inside track and that he will best the other fellows in the final shake-down. Alderman James J. McCormick and James T. Bransfield propose to lock horns in dead earnest for the nomination for alderman and the big guns in their ward cannot, at the present time, tell just how the scrap will end. Col. B. F. Moseley, who has by hard work built up a very large practice in his profession, the law, transacts so much business at his office, 6258 South Halsted street, for his Swedish friends that he could almost pass for a Swedish colonel. Rev. George W. Dickey, founder of the Burning Bush Mission, 2442 State street, after spending the last three weeks in St. Louis, Mo., has returned to the city. Rev. Dickey seems tq be doing much good among those who reside near his mission. According to the latest reports not much money will be realized from the grand fancy ball given at the Auditorium Wednesday evening for the benefit of the Old Folk's Home. We hope these reports are untrue for The Broad Ax would like to hear of the management of the Home realizing a handsome sum. Recently Minnie Nelson was awarded $100 damages for being discriminated against by the leasees of the Alhambra Theatre. The case was tried before Justice Wolfe, and Attorney S. A. T. Watkins represented Mrs. Nelson The leasees of the Alhambra have for some time been disregarding the civil rights act and this case may learn them a lesson. NO. 17. weck, Alderman W. S. Jackson, Judge Elbridge Hanecy, Judge John Gibbons, Judge Marcus A. Kavanagh, ExSheriff James H. Gilbert, Alderman Milton J. Foreman, Col. E. C. Young, Col. E. C. Dietrich, John H. Hamline, Alderman Joseph J. Badenoch, Col. Frank E. Coyne, Alderman William Hale Thompson, John R. Thompson, Col. Henry M Turner, Alderman A. W. Beilfuss, Judge Brentano. With all these candidates in the field the Republican managers ought not to have any trouble in putting up a dummy to be knocked down by Mayor Carter H. Harrison. The will of the late Jarvis Ford of St. Joseph, Mo., leaves $20,000 for a free memorial library in that place, and $10,000 to the municipal hospital. Revenge is a kind of wild justice, which the more man's nature runs to the more ought law to weed out; for as for the first wrong, it doth but offend the law, but the revenge of that wrong putteth the law out of office. At a small village near Namur a discovery has been made of 960 pieces of Roman money in a perfect state of preservation, belonging to the third and fourth centuries, and bearing effigies of no fewer than fifteen different emperors and empresses. A company at Ansonia, Conn., has just received the largest order for copper trolley wire ever placed in this country. The weight is more than 1,000,000 pounds and the destination is British India, where the wire will be used to equip one of the first trolley lines in that colony. Speaking of the difficulty students experience in remembering the exact situation of the mitral and tricuspid valves of the heart, Prof. Huxley once remarked that he remembered that the mitral (so called from its resemblance to the headgear of the church dignitary) must be on the left side, "because a bishop could never be in the right." Potatoes are now being imported from the Pacific coast to China. The first large shipment of potatoes from this country to the Walled Empire was reported a short while ago. The cargo left Tacoma, Wash., for Shanghai. The Chinese have drawn on the Pacific coast for breadstuffs in recent years, but this is the first sign that they have acquired a taste for potatoes. A curious street car line is that between Atami and Yoshihoma, two coast towns in the province of Izle, Japan. The line is seven miles long, the rolling stock consists of a single car, and the motive power is furnished by a couple of muscular coolies, who push the car along wherever power is necessary. When the car comes to a down grade they jump on and ride. Were the protection of our forests carried to the full extent, there would be no offender to come under the condemnation which Phillips Brooks thus expressed: "There is something wrong about a man that needlessly plucks off a new leaf-bud from a forest tree, even if he be where no human steps would have been sheltered by its shade and no human eye charmed with its beauty." What Booker Washington is saying to the men of his own race, another clear voice is saying to the white folks: "What the south needs is respect for work. We must put on our overalls and use our hands." There is no sectionalism in such a lesson; it is law and gospel for all latitudes and longitudes. Industrial development offers both basis and security for all higher interests. Glowing reports come from the sheepraising district in southern Colorado. The Arkansas valley is under irrigation over an area of eighty-five miles long and ten miles wide, and will shortly become the greatest lamb-feeding center in the world. At the present time over 315,000 sheep and lambs are on feed there, and judging from the rate of increase there should be 500,000 in another year. Among the noteworthy bequests for charitable purposes during the past year was that of a Navajo Indian, whose estate, valued at over $20,000, was left for the establishment of a free medical dispensary, as "an aid in extinguishing cruel aboriginal superstitions in the tribe." The giver recognized the fact that, in an important sense, it is for the Indian to say what the future of the Indian shall be. CONGRESSMAN HOWARD Of National Reputation Are the Men Who Recommend Peruna to Fellow Sufferers A Remarkable Case Reported from the State of New York CONGRESSMAN HOWARD OF ALABAMA House of Representatives, Washington, Feb. 4, 1899. The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio taken with very dis my stomach. "I seldom nad a pa els naturally. I co Gentlemen—"I have taken Peruna now for two weeks, and find I am very much relieved.

Congressman Howard's home address is Fort Payne, Ala. MOST people think that catarrh is a disease confined to the head and nose. Nothing is farther from the truth. It may be that the nose and throat is the oftenest affected by catarrh, but if this is so it is so only because these parts are more exposed to the vicissitudes of the climate than the other parts of the body. Every organ, every duct, every cavity of the human body is liable to catarrh. A multitude of ailments depend on catarrh. This is true winter and summer. Catarrh causes many cases of chronic disease, where the victim has not the slightest suspicion that catarrh has anything to do with it. The following letter which gives the experience of Mr. A. C. Lockhart is a case in point: Mr. A. C. Lockhart, West Henrietta, N. Y., Box 58, in a letter written to Dr. Hartman says the following of Peruna: "About fifteen years ago I commenced to be ailing, and consulted a physician. He pronounced my trouble a species of dyspepsia, and advised me, after he had treated me about six months, to get a leave of absence from my business and go into the country. I did so and got temporary relief. I went back to work again, but was Wheat in Africa and Australia. Each year about 44,000,000 bushels of wheat are grown in Africa.

"I seldom had a passage of the bowels naturally. I consulted another physician with no better results. The disease kept growing on me, until I had exhausted the ability of sixteen of Rochester's best physicians. The last physician advised me to give up my work and go south, after he had treated me for one year. "I was given a thorough examination with the X-ray. They could not even determine what my trouble was. Some of your testimonials in the Rochester papers seemed to me worthy of consideration, and I made up my mind to try a bottle of Peruna. Before the bottle was half gone I noticed a change for the better. I am now on the fifth bottle, and have not an ache or pain anywhere. My bowels move regularly every day, and I have taken on eighteen pounds of flesh. I have recommended Peruna to a great many and they recommend it very highly. I have told several people that if they would take a bottle of Peruna, and could then candidly say that it had not benefited them, I would pay for the medicine."—A. C. Lockhart Mr. W. P. Peterson, of Morris, Ill. says: "I was nearly dead with catarrhal dyspepsia and am now a well man, better, in fact, than I have been for twenty years or more. "Since I got cured by your Peruna I have been consulted by a great many people." If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis. Address Dr. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, Ohio. Antidote for Leprosy. A most remarkable application of the principle of inoculation is in force in Brazil. Rattlesnake poison has long been in use by the natives for the cure of leprosy.

A $1 bill bearing only a stamp and no wrapper for a written communication on mails from Chicago. The bill served as a wrapper, from a written communication on a card, and was sewed to the card. On the outside of the bill was pasted a bit of white paper bearing a two-cent stamp and the address. Question was raised as to the right of sending money in this manner, but the bill in the end was allowed to go on its way. It is contemplated to construct a railroad similar to the Jungfrau line to the summit of Mont Blanc. M. Vallot, the director of the Mont Blanc observatory, and M. Deperet, professor of mineralogy at the Lyons university, in conjunction with M. Fabre, a French engineer, have been engaged for some time past in surveying the sides of the mountain to ascertain a suitable route and the atmospheric conditions. The result of these investigations is the projection of a line probably starting from the village of Houches, on the Savoy side, to the summit; to have a total length of eleven miles. After a recent content it came out that in some instances the struggling athletes were sustained by the use of arsenic, strychnine and nitroglycerine. The winner in a close trial may triumph because the trainer has been judicious in administering tonic drugs. But does not the pharmaceutical road to victory seem less attractive than the old way which led through physical strength and skill unaided by the stimulants which medicine offers? There is a modernness about the possibility of being beaten by a sixteenth of a grain of strychnine, which to earlier athletes would have brought both wonder and regret. By the Great Specialist in Treating Weak and Diseased Hearts, Franklin Miles, M. D., LL. B.—Will Send $2.50 Worth of His Special Treatment Free as a Trial. To demonstrate the unusual curative powers of his new and complete special treatments by mall for heart disease, short breath, pain in the side, oppression in the chest, irregular pulse, palpitation, amothering spells, puffing of the ankles, or dropsy, Dr. Miles will send two dollars and a half worth free as a trial, to all who mention this paper. His treatments are the result of twenty-five years of careful study, extensive research and remarkable experience in treating the various ailments of the heart, stomach and nerves, which so often complicate each case. So astonishing are the results of his complete special treatment that he does not hesitate to offer all persons a trial free. Nothing could be more generous. Few physicians have such confidence in their remedies. There is no reason why every afflicted person should not avail themselves of this exceedingly liberal offer, as they may never have another such opportunity. No death comes as suddenly as that from heart disease. Mrs. A. Kronck, of Huntington, Ind., was cured after thirty physicians failed; Mrs. Flora Graetor, of Bristolville, O., after twenty-two; Jas.

A dull, throbbing pain, accompanied by a sense of tenderness and heat low down in the side, with an occasional shooting pain, indicates inflammation. On examination it will be found that the region of pain shows some swelling. This is the first stage of ovaritis, inflammation of the ovary.

CONSUMPTION Sore Hands Caticura SOAP MEDICINAL TOILET Red, Rough Hands, Itching, Burning Palms, and Painful Finger Ends. One Night Treatment Soak the hands on retiring in a strong, hot, creamy lather of CUTICURA SOAP. Dry, and anoint freely with CUTICURA, the great skin cure and purest of emollients. Wear, during the night, old, loose kid gloves, with the finger ends cut off and air holes cut in the palms. For red, rough, chapped hands, dry, fissured, itching, feverish palms, with shapeless nails and painful finger ends, this treatment is simply wonderful, and points to a speedy cure of the most distressing cases when physicians and all else fail. Cured by Cuticura I WAS troubled with hands so sore that when I put them in water the pain would near set me crazy, the skin would peel off, and the flesh would get hard and break, then the blood would flow from at least fifty places on each hand. Words never can tell the suffering I endured for three years. I tried at least eight doctors, but one had I knew at least eight doctors, but my hands were worse than when I commenced doctoring. I tried every old Granny remedy that was ever thought of without one cent's worth of good and could not even get relief. I would feel so badly mornings when I got up, to think that I had to go to work and stand pain for eight or nine hours, that I often felt like giving up my job, which was in the bottling works of Mr. E. L. Kerns, the leading bottler of Trenton, N. J., who will vouch for the truth of my sufferings. Before I could start to work, I would have to wrap each finger on both hands, and then wear gloves, which I hated to do, for when I came to take them off, it would take two hours and the flesh would break and bleed. Some of my friends who had seen my hands would say, "If they had such hands they would have them amputated"; others would say "they would never work," and more would turn away in disgust. But thanks to Cuticura, the greatest of skin cures, it ended all my sufferings. Just to think, after doctoring three years, and spending dollar after dollar during that time, Cuticura cured me. It has now been two years since I used it and I do not know what sore hands are. I never lost a day's work while I was using it or since, and I have been working at the same business, and in acids, etc. THOS. A. CLANCY, 310 Montgomery St., Trenton, N. J.

POTTER DRUG AND CHEM. CORP., Sole Propa., Boston, U. S. A. Millions of Women Use Cuticura Soap Assisted by Cuticura Ointment for preserving, purifying, and beautifying the skin, for cleaning the scalp of crusts, scales, and dandruff, and the stopping of falling hair, for soffering, whitening, and soothing red, rough, and sore hands, in the form of baths for annoying irritations, inflammations, and chafings, or too free or offensive periphrasis in the form of washes for ulcerative weaknesses, and for many sensitive antiseptic pur- poses which readily suggest themselves to women, and especially mothers, and for all the purposes of the toilet, bath, and nursery. No amount of persuasion can induce these who have once used it to use any other, especially for preserving and purifying the skin, scalp, and hair of infants and children. Cuticura Soap combines delicate emollient prop- eries derived from Cuticura, the great skin care, with the purse of cleaning ingredients, and the most refreshing of flower odors. No other medicinal soap ever compounded is to be compared with it for preserving, purifying, and beautifying the skin, scalp, hair, and hands. No other foreign or domestic follicle soap, howeur expensive, is to be compared with it for all the purposes of the toilet, bath and nursery. Thus it combines in ONE SOAP at ONE FRONT, VIA.

Conflict Between Church and Single Presents the Punishment Rome Letter to Pall Mall Gazette: For many years the conflict between church and state has rendered bigamy in Italy not only possible, but also easy and not punishable by law. As the marriage laws now stand only the civil ceremony is legal, but as the church up to the present time has refused to recognize this law the priest has daily performed the marriage service and given the blessing of the church without the civil ceremony. The consequence is that a man so inclined marries one wife at the city hall and another before the priest. Such a state of affairs is so gross a scandal that many projects have been brought before the religious compulsory, with a heavy punishment to any priest breaking this law. However, the effort has always been useless, as either from personal religious sentiment or for fear of offending their devout supporters the deputies have even refused to support the bill. This has produced the present absurd situation. It is announced that the holy see, to prevent a man from having two wives, has recommended the parish priests to inquire well into the circumstances and in ordinary cases strongly to advise the couple first to go through the civil marriage, to be followed on the same day, if possible, by the religious one. ONE DOLLAR PER PILL. Cincinnati, O., Feb. 11, 1901.—(Special.)—Miss Netta Hixon is Sergeant-at-Arms of Camp No. 1, Patriotic Order of America. Her home is at No. 1717 Hughes street, this city. She is a very popular and influential lady. For three years she has been ill. Now she is well. She says: "I cannot praise Dodd's Kidney Pills too highly for what they have done for me. I was troubled for three years with weakness, and often had dizzy spells, so that I dared not go out alone. My head would ache continually for four or five days at a time, until life became simply a burden. "All the medicine I took did me no good, until my physician advised me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills. I secured a box, and soon found that my headache was leaving me. I felt encouraged and kept on taking them and getting stronger. The pains gradually diminished, until I had used four boxes, and all trace of pain had gone. I am today a strong and well woman, thanks to Dodd's Kidney Pills. If the price was one dollar per pill, instead of 50c a box, they would be cheap, compared with other so-called medicines placed before a suffering public." This is but a sample of the letters received every day by the hundred. They all tell the same story of sickness and soreness, changed into health and vigor by the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills. They never fall. 50c a box, six boxes for $2.50. Buy them from your local druggist if you can. If he can't supply you, send to the Dodds Medicine Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Hanna to John G. A. R.

College professor, railroad brakeman, gold digger, adventurer, railroad builder, mine superintendent and mule driver—these are some of the occupations followed by Letson Baillet, who is today the most talked-of man on the Pacific slope. Baillet is a mining magnate, railroad promoter and financial genius at the present time, with offices in San Francisco, Baker City, Ore., and other places. Letson was born in Officer South Iowa 27 years ago. In what is known as the "Anaconda of Oregon," a mining district in the northern part of the state, he owns 21 copper and gold mines. His interests in industrials include a large ownership in refrigerating and brick making plants and sawmills. The future apparently holds boundless possibilities for this rising flanancier. Kind of Men Needed. Cornellius R. Parsons, whose death at his home in Rochester, N. Y., occurred on Wednesday, served as mayor of Rochester for fourteen years, exceeding by eleven years the term of service of any other mayor of the city. The general excellence and soundness of his administration were such that at the close of each term it was taken for granted he would be his own successor. He served in the state assembly and senate after quitting the mayor's office. Negro to Confederates Veterans Robert R. Church of Memphis contributed $1,000 to the fund for entertainment of the Confederate veterans in that city in May next. Church is a negro, born a slave. In these two sentences is epitomized a whole volume of the history of the African race in the South. These sentences contain an exhaustive dissertation on the race problem. They tell what the negro has accomplished in the few years of his freedom; they tell of what he is capable; they tell of his opportunities and his possibilities here in the South, and they tell of the relations between the races more eloquently than the most talented ora- KOTS tor or the most graphic writer could cover the same ground, remarks the Memphis Scimitar. Robert Church's contribution is bona fide, as are all the checks presented for this cause. No contributions are accepted that have strings attached to them. Ought to Be Divided. The duke of Devonshire owns almost 200,000 acres of land in England, but not an acre in the county from which he derived his title. The earl of Derby owns 70,000 acres, but possesses no land in the county of Derby, and the duke of Fife is the proprietor of 250,000 acres of land in Scotland, but has no property in Fife. Shipping Out Gold. Within the last few weeks considerable shipments of gold have been made from this country to Europe. Further shipments are expected this week.

Its business is to take care of cattle, sheep and hogs belonging to its shareholders. Anyone can become a shareholder by buying one or more shares in the company, which sell at only $10 each. It now has something over seventy shareholders scattered all over the United States, eleven of whom are ladies. Each shareholder has the right to put as many cattle, sheep and hogs on the ranch as they may desire and the company guarantees to take good care of them for one-half the increase. The Company's annual report for 1900 shows that the shareholders received from 25 to 35 per cent interest on their investments in sheep while the Company earned a 10 per cent dividend on its shares.

Any person who takes the paper regularly from the postoffice, whether he is a subscriber or not, is responsible for the pay. The courts have decided that refusing to take newspapers and periodicals from the postoffice, or removing and leaving them uncalled for is prima facie evidence of intentional fraud. The letter which we have received from Daniel M. Jackson, Esq., is so rich that we have decided to publish it in full in the next issue of The Broad Ax, so we would advise everybody to watch for it, for it is very good reading. Herd of Twenty Thousand Caribou. J. M. Bell of the Canadian geological survey department has just returned to Ottawa after-an absence of about eighteen months, during which time he traveled across Canada from the arctic to the houndary. He saw immense bands of caribou. There must have been, Mr. Bell says, over 20,000 of them in one band. He never saw anything like it. A member of the Indiana legislature has introduced a bill to deny policemen the privilege of practicing law in the courts of that state. At present anyone of good moral character can practice law in the state if he knows enough, but one member of the legislature seemingly thinks the line ought to be drawn at policemen. South Dakota's Warfare Against Wolves Anticipating the repeal of the state wolf bounty law, a number of stockmen in the Bad river section of South Dakota have contributed a handsome sum from their pockets and will keep up the warfare. The state has expended $30,000 for wolf scalps and the present legislature is not expected to keep up the appropriation. In Mosquito-Proof Hut. Drs. Sanbon and Low, who spent the summer in the Roman Campagna in a mosquito-proof hut, have returned to England in excellent health, notwithstanding the fact that the past summer is said to have been exceptionally malarious in the neighborhood of Ostia, where they were located. Great Men's Humble Beginnings Thomas Carlyle and Hugh Miller were masons. Jeremy Taylor was a barber. Andrew Johnson was a tailor. Cardinal Woisey, Defoe and Henry Kirke White were butchers' sons.

Several prominent citizens of Massachusetts form a committee which has been selected to appeal for popular subscriptions to a fund for the erection of a public memorial of the late Governor Roger Wolcott. It is designed to erect it in Boston, probably on the state house grounds. Congressman's Nancy Waistcoats. Congressman Shattuc of Ohio has a weakness for bright colored waistcoats, although in other respects he dresses quietly. His seat in the house is in the front row on the Republican side, and he says he wears bright vesture to catch the speaker's eye. Ex. Chinese Overrun Manchus. In a recent number of Petermann's Mitthliungen the statement appears that the influx of Chinese is causing the disappearance of the Manchus from Manchuria and that before very long their language will cease to be spoken, as their children are taught Chinese. Financial reports show that no less than 13,251,283 shares of Sugar common stock were bought and sold on the New York Exchange during the year 1900. This is the same thing as saying that the entire common stock changed hands forty times over. Day's Pay for Ninety Minutes. The foundation for several new skyscrapers on Wall street has been carried by shafts to a depth of 120 feet, and the compressed air used in digging is so trying on the workmen that they get a full day's pay for ninety minutes' actual duty. George Seymour, of Depere, Wis., has a curious idea of a joke. He put a buggy on the Northwestern railroad track—"just for fun."

The average number of horses killed in Spain every year exceeds 6,000, while from 1,000 to 1,000 bulls are sacrificed. Law Professioners Want the Whip. While Delaware is preparing to abolish the whipping post, or at least talking about it, Connecticut has a movement on foot to establish it. For wife-beaters and incorrigible boys, the whipping-post is the proper remedy, according to a faction of the community, led by some of the professors in the Yale Law School. They will ask the legislature to establish punishment with the whip for these two classes of offenders. NOTABLE FACTS. New York has a Socialist Metal Trades' Council.

AS TRUE AS GOSPEL. A promise should be given with caution and kept with care. Do not talk about the lantern that holds the lamp, but make haste, uncover the light, and let it shine. If you wish to be agreeable in society you must consent to be taught many things which you know already. Nature has given us two ears, two eyes, and but one tongue, to the end that we should hear and see more than we speak. "Some women think walls are held together by honey," observed George Eliot in one of her books. The wise woman knows, however, that something stronger is needed to hold the home together, and make it at once a help and a delight to those who dwell therein. It is often said that "troubles are friends in disguise"; but this can only be so when we know how to avail ourselves of their friendship. When we do not know how to do so, it may easily happen that through the darkness in which they encompass us no ray of light can pierce, and out of the bitterness no sweetness can arise.
