Keep in Prime Condition.
Nature, says Success, is not soatl
mentiful or merciful. If you violate
her law. you must pay the penalty,
though you sit on a throne; kingorbeg
gar is all the same with her. You can
not plead weakness or handicap as an
excuse for failure. She demands that
you be ever at the top of your condition,
that you always do your best, and will
accept no excuse or apology. A weak
ness anywhere mats one's whole career.
11,I 1 , will rise up as a ghost all through
one's life-work, mortifying, condemn
ing and convicting one of past error.
Every indiscretion or vicious indulgence
simply opens a leak which drains off
success capital. Of what use is great
success capital, of mental and physical
equipment, If you are not wise enough
to manage it to the best advantage, and
to make it last until your success Is as
sured? It is sad to see a young man try
to win high place with a broken-down
constitution, or with his faculties halt
trained, and his success army completely
demoralized, his prospects ruined by a
shattered physique. The saddest thing
of all is that wise living might have made
fulfillment of ambition possible, and en
riched the world with a noble, well
roundel life. The great problem, then,
■which everyone has to face, Is how to
generate energy, how to conserve it, and
how to keep oneself always at the top ot
his condition.
New Use for Electricity.
Mr. E. B. Green, superintendent of the
Edison Illuminating Electric company
at Altoona, Pa., writes to the Electrical
World and Engineer of his successful
use of electricity for thawing water
pipes. He has thawed 250 feet. of one
inch iron pipe in 20 minutes, using be
tween 18 and 20 kilowatts; for between
30 and 40 feet of three-quarter-inch pipe,
five to eight minutes and 11 to 15 kilo
watts are required. The voltage is re
duced to not over 50, and the connection
made to the pipe to be thawed and to a
hydrant or other connection to the main
on the other side of the frozen portion.
The work is performed for customers la
less time and with much more cleanli
ness than it could be done by the
plumber. The cost lies chiefly in the
carting of the apparatus and labor.
A large decrease of consumption In
playing cards with a correspondingly
large increase in the amount of liquor
used during the past eight months ia
noted by treasury department officials
in the receipts of the revenue service.
Compared with the same period a year
ago the number of packs of playing cards
used by the people of the United States
was reduced 8,000,000. On the other
hand the consumption of whisky was
enough larger to result in adding $2,500,-
000 more revenue to the treasury. Tho
cigarette fiend also increased his allow
ance, for the revenue from that source
went up $750,000. As to why playing
cards should be less used, while drink
ing and smoking increased, is a question
which government officials do not un
dertake to solve. Nor do we.
Bishop Mylne tells In the London
Spectator of an experience he had
when in America. A workman had
shown the way, as far as It coincided
with his own, «nd at parting, knowing
those he had directed to be English
men, he took off his cap and most cour
teously, and said, "Good evening, gen
tlemen." He had retired "half-across
the pavement" when he thus took leave
of them. "My friend and 1," remarks
the bishop, "said to each other that
an Englishman in similar circum
stances would not have retired out of
arm's length for fear we should offer
him a gratuity."'
Berlin was recently connected witn
Copenhagen by a new International
ferry. The boats run between Warne
munde, on the German coast, and
Gjedesby, on one of the Danish islands,
and carry through trains over the 20-
mile stretch of water between the two
points. The ferry makes it possible
for a traveler togo In almost a
straight line between the two capitals
without change of cars.
Makaroff was known as the "Cossack
of the Sea," while Skrydloff, his suc
cessor, is known as the "Bulldog of
the Navy." Togo is known to the Japs
as the "Whole Works of the Oceans."
A LARGE ORDER FOR JUDGE PARKER.

"The Judge's Friends Go So Far as to Say He Will Bring Cleveland and
Bryan Together."—Walter Wellman.
THE WEST AND SOUTHWEST
Some Reasons Why the Republican
Party Is Stronger Than Ever
Among the People.
The democrats charge that the repub
licans, in proposing to consolidate the
four territories into two states, are actu
ated by partisan and sectional motives,
and that they want to minimize the "in
fluence of the west and the southwest
in the citadel of federal power, the
United States senate." This is the lan
guage of the democratic report against
the bill passed by the house to admit
Oklahoma and the Indian territory
jointly as the state of Oklahoma, and
to let in Arizona and New Mexico to
gether as the state of Arizona. The
same language was repeated by many
of the democrats in their speeches
against the bill. The bill had the solid
support of the republicans and the solid
opposition of the democrats. It is said
to be the purpose of the democrats to
make this charge agarnst, the republic
ans a feature of the presidential cam
paign in the west in 190-1. The repub
licans ought to hope that their enemies
will do this. It will give a chance to
show what has been the actual attitude
of the two big parties toward the west.
Do the democrats who are prating
about republican hostility to the west
know what was the issue that created
the republican party? asks the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat. It was the demo
crats' repeal in 1854 of the Missouri com
promise, which repeal threw open to
slavery Kansas. Nebraska and the rest of
the territories above the Missouri com
promise line. This was a national issue
in its broad features, but it was directly
and particularly a western issue. The
republican party was founded to protect
the west from this democratic iniquity.
The party got a foothold earlier in the
west than it did in the east, and chiefly
for the reason that it wafe the west that
was especially assailed by the demo
crats. Previous to the rise of the repub
lican party in 1854 most of the states of
the west were reliably democrats.
Some of them, like Illinois, lowa and
Wisconsin, were democratic in every
presidential canvass in which they par
ticipated until after the appearance of
the republican party, and Illinois re
mained democratic for president until
1860. Every state in the west voted for
Pierce. the democratic candidate in 1852,
just before the creation of the republican
party. The west came to the republicans
because the republican party was found
ed on what was directly a western is
sue. The republican party started out
to save the west from the slavery de
basement which the democratic party
attempted to force upon it, and did
save it.
Did the democrats who are accusing
the republican party of hostility to the
west ever hear of a measure called the
free homes law? The homestead bill
had been before congress for many years
before the republican party came into
power. The measure was always
beaten, either in congress or by the
presidential veto, Buchanan interpos
ing the last named barrier against it.
But just as soon as the republicans, who
had been its champions from the he
ginning, got into control of the gov
ernment, they passed the free homes
law. against the opposition of the demo
crats. This law, which went into oper
ation at the beginning of 1863, has added
almost as large an area to the settled
region -of the west as was populated in
the thirteen colonies at the time of the
Dick Croker Sends Message.
Comrade Croker sends us a cheering
Trord from Wantage. He concedes with
frankness That we have no chance this
year, even with Parker, but. we must
"consolidate the party by supporting
him," so that "the prospects for success
four years hence will ba improved."
Comrade Croker is too experienced a
democrat to predict success four or even
eight or twelve years hence, but he be
lieves in gradual and consistent im
provement of chances, so that our chil
dren and grandchildren may reap that

battle of Lexington. A republican presi
dent, Theodore Roosevelt, started the
movement which led to the passage of
national irrigation, which a republican
congress enacted. This measure will
supplement the work done by the repub
licans in the free homes act which Lin
coln signed in 18ti2, and will plant hun
dreds of thousands of homes in the pres
ent arid regions between the western
border of Kansas, Nebraska and Okla
homa and the Pacific ocean. The re
publican party has been the builder of
the west. Every presidential candidate
which it has nominated thus far ex
cept Blaine has been a western man.
It has transferred the country's center
of political and social gravity to the Mis
sissippi valley. If the democrats make
a campaign issue of the republican par
ty's attitude toward the west it /.will
make hundreds of thousands of new
votes for the republicans on the Al
leglianies' sunset side.
DRIFT OF PUBLIC OPINION.

regarded his democratic confreres as
a hopeless aggregation.—Washington
Star.

to provide the republican platform with
one of its strongest planks.—St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
forget that Judge Parker's
hair is red. It may be that he is afraid
to trust himself to speak what is in his
mind. —Chicago Tribune.
(Clt is reported that Gorman still
hopes to secure the nomination. That
man must have an awiul opinion of the
democratic party.—Chicago Record-
Herald.

ty of leisure in which to repent the
hasty impulse that nominated Bryan in
18%, and the prospects are excellent for
plenty more leisure of the same kind. —

he says, to name the man he deems
most fit for the presidency. It is not
necessary. Everyone knows the dis
tinguished citizen Mr. Bryan has in
mind.—Philadelphia Record.
ETThe presidency of the United
States has never been an office with

tactics of body-snatchers, whether
they were as rich as Hearst or as poor
as Bryan.—Milwaukee Wisconsin.
Parker is trying to bring
Hill and Tammany together in har

to establish peaceful relations be
tween Cleveland and Bryan. If he
succeeds he will be known as the boss

Journal.
ICAS a matter of fact, there has
been nothing rash or reckless in the
Roosevelt administration, nothing
whatever to justify the charge that
he is an unsafe man. No action in re

has been taken without thoughtful de
liberation and without due considera
tion for the interests and welfare of
the country.—Omaha Bee.
ir?'lt is noteworthy that quite a
number of delegates to the democratic
national convention have been elected
who are "said to favor Parker." This
means that they are open to persua

in their opinion is stronger than the
New York man they are free to sup

no means been made unanimous as
yet.—Troy (N. Y.) Times.

IMPROVEMENT IS <SLOW.
No Evidence of Increased Activity In
the Leading Industries—Review of
Trade.
Now York, May 14. —It. (3. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Seasonable weather has restored
normal conditions in many branches
of retail trade, but the improvement
lias not yet extended to wholesale,
jobbing or manufacturing depart
ments, except in special lines. It
is difficult to find evidences of in
creased activity in any of the lead
ing industries, and there is more idle
machinery. Traffic conditions are
little changed, railway earnings in
the first week of May falling 7.5 per
cent, behind last year, and the late
opening of lake navigation was fur
ther retarded by a strike. While
many features of the business situa
tion make poor comparisons with
last year, it is worthy of note that
few presidential years have made a
better exhibit.
In the leading manufacturing in
dustry scarcely any decline in prices
occurred, during the past, week, but
the average has fallen considerably
from the best position of last year,
and consumers are confident that
further deiay will result in still more
attractive terms. This impression is
largely due to the recent disagree
ment among yre producers.
Commercial failures this week in
the United States are 230, against 190
the corresponding week last year.
Failures in Canada number 23,
against 13 last year.
A NERVY OUTLAW.
He is Holding Officers at Bay in the
Wisconsin Woods.
Minneapolis, Minn., May 14. —
George Loth, deputy sheriff of this
county, has volunteered to capture
the outlaw Dietz, who is holding of
ficers at bay near Hayward, Wis.
Loth's offer has been accepted by the
Wisconsin authorities and he will go
at once. He expects to get artillery
from Madison and dislodge the out
law without loss of life other than
that possibly of Dietz himself.
Chippewa Falls, Wis., May 14 —All
the men employed by the Chippewa
Lumber and Boom Co. at. the Came
ron dam on the Thorn Apple river,
which Diet/, is holding up, returned
Friday, the drive being abandoned.
Over ten million feet of logs are
lying high and dry, the dam being
kept open by Dietz. Operations of
the mills may be delayed should the
present trouble long continue. Sixty
armed men started out yesterday
from Cameron Junction with orders
to capture Dietz dead or alive.
Massacres In Armenia.
Paris, May 14. —An official dispatch
to the foreign office from Constanti
nople confirms the reports that Turk
ish troops have burned villages
throughout the Sassoun district of
Armenia, killing the inhabitants.
The official advices, although brief,
indicate that the work of exterminat
ing the Armenians occupying the
mountainous district of Sassoun is
practically accomplished. The
Turkish methods appear to have
been much the same as those adopt
ed during the Armenian massacres.
The official reports do not give de
tails as to the nnmber of towns
burned and people killed, but they
show that the action of the Turks
has been sweeping.
A New Device in Pipe Organs.
Chicago, May 14. —The $20,000 pipe
organ to be placed in the new Theo
dore Thomas concert hall here will
have an electro-pneumatic action
with a movable key desk, so con
nected that the organ may be played
from any part of the orchestra or
stage. The organ, which is to be
directly behind the orchestra, but
about ten feet overhead, is so ar
ranged as to allow a most perfect
blending of tones with orchestral or
other music. With the exception of
the Auditorium organ, 'lie Thomas
instrument will be larger than any
other orchestral organ in present use.
Counted Himself Out.
Des Moines, la., May 14.—"One,
two three." Raising himself to his
elbow and slowly but painfully
breathing his last breaths, Dr.
Crayke Priestly, a great great grand
son of Dr. Joseph Priestly, of En
gland, discoverer of oxygen, with
seemingly studied emphasis counted
time yesterday against, pneumonia
death. As ho faintly whispered
"three"he gasped, his muscles re
laxed and he fell back dead. Dr.
Priestly was one of an unbroken line
of physicians of more than ordinary
distinction since the days of the great
London physician.
A Destructive Fire.
Coudersport, Pa., May 14.—Fire
Friday destroyed an entire block
here. A high wind blew sparks from
a bonfire into one of the buildings
and the Farmers' hotel, three grocery
stores, fsed store, a music store, a
tea store, Knights of Labor hall, a
dwelling and four barns were de
stroyed. The loss is estimated at
$50,000.
Must Answer Conspiracy Charges.
San Francisco, May 14. —F. A.
Hyde and Henry P. Dimond must
answer in the United States court at
Washington to charges of conspiring
to defraud the United States govern
ment by illegally acquiring title to
public lands. This decision was ren
dered Friday by Commissioner Hea
cock.
Shot a Woman and Himself.
Pittsburg, May 14.—Fred Schuetz,
son of Henry Schuetz, of the Schuetz
& Renziehausen Co., brewers, last
night shot and seriously wounded
Mrs. Minnie McCormick and then fa
tally shot himself. Schuetz was
named as co-respondent in a divorct
suit brought by Mrs. McCormick's
husband some time ago, and since
then has been attentive 10 the woman
and it is said wanted to marry her.
She, however, would not agree to
this, and the shooting is supposed to
have resulted from a quarrel over the
matter.
"I Have Every Reason to Praise Pe-ru-na,'*
WRITES MRS. KANE, OF CHICAGO.
!Mrs. K. Kane, 172 Sebor Street, 1
Chicago, ill., writes : j
"Peruna has been used so long in «
our family that I do not know how 112
/ could get along without It. I have J
! given it to all of my •children at J
different times when they suffered *
with croup, colds and the many ail- J

I
Pe-ru-na Protects the Entire House
hold Against Catarrhal
Diseases.
One of the greatest foes with wjxich
every family has to contend is our
changeable climate. To protect the
family from colds and coughs is always I
a serious problem, and often impossible.
Sooner or later it is the inevitable fate
of every one to catch cold. Care in
avoiding exposure and the useof proper
clothing will protect from the frequency
and perhaps the severity of colds, but
with the greatest of precautions they |
will come. This is a settled fact of j
human experience. Everybody must:
expect to be caught somewhere or
somehow.
Perhaps it will be wet feet, or a
draught, or damp clothes, or it may be
one of a thousand other little mishaps,
but no one is shrewd enough to always
avoid '.he inevitable catching cold.
There is no fact of medical science
better known than that Peruna cures
catarrh wherever located. Thousands
of families in all parts of the United
States are protected from colds and
catarrh by Peruna. Once in the family
Peruna always stays. No home can
spare Peruna after the first trial of it.i

Inquiries of an exhaustive char 1
acter are being made by British offl j
cials as to the safety of Gibraltar.
The impotency of the fortress at j
Port Arthur has reopened the ques i
tion of the rock's invulnerability i
and the recent manueuvers in Gibral ;
tar bay, although officially declared
to have ended in favor of the fort j
ress, have revealed great weaknesses j
Gibson Bowles, one of the special!
commissioners who visited the rock:
and reported adversely on the posi ;
tion of the new docks, said:
"In any peace maneuvers a fort- !
ress will always win against a fleet.
So much is allowed for the assumed 1
strength of a fortress that the fleet !
usually comes off second best in
tests."
Mr. Bowles does not pose as a
naval expert, but he attaches little ,
importance to the decisions of um
pires.
On the return of Maj. Gen. P. G
Slade, who has watched the maneu
vers on behalf of the war office, he
