Meanwhile a Senate commltUe has
given te the advocates of a fitngle
chamber ground for a telling argument.
The committee en the Panama canal lean
has reported the scheme favorably,
although it has been plainly shown that
the company had again and again violated
Its pledges and deluded trusting and
patriotic Frenchmen. It was shown that
by the Elfel contract, a trifling guarantee
only was given for the fulfilment of aeon aeen
tract involving the expenditure of many
millions ; that 21. Elfel, the builder of
tha famous iron tower, was quite safe no
natter what might happen te the com
pany by reason of his failure te fulfil the
contract ; and n member boldly charged
that the great tower rising ever Paris
was being built with the money of
Panama shareholders. It will net matter
te a Paris mob whether It Is true or net
and it Is quite likely that a mob will ap
pear when the Panama company Anally
disappears with all its burden of leans.
That calamity appears as certain as the
"riaiag of the sun, and it may come before
the equally inevitable crisis of parlia
mentary dissolution.
A Geed Move.
Many et the most pregresBl- mer
chants of Lancaster, bave slgurd u paper
agreeing te clesa their Bteres en Memerial
day from the neon hour. It is a proper
thing te de. We de net have enough
holidays. Life becomes tee much of a
tread-mill, when there aie no eases in the
desert otweik en which we may browse
for a time, forgetful et the goad of ncces
aity that se many feel in the Ubering
hours. Business Jealousy keeps some
merchants from agreeing te close ou pub
lic holidays, and their action shows them
te have less public spirit than private sel
fjahness.
But while our merchants were en this
question, why did they net close for the
whole day V It all would de se, none
would sutler. And if proper advertise
ment of the fact was made, the rural
customers would net complain. Ilut a
halt leaf is better than no bro ,d , and se tie
local merchants are te ba congratulated
en taking a step which, if net as com
plete as it might be, is still a step In the
right direction.

A Poisonous Suggestion.
These are the days of curious theories.
We see it seriously advanced as a geed
thing for a busy man te occasionally get
drank. It is said in favor of the sugges
tion tbat it gives his overworked brain a
ehaacefera geed rest. The advice Is
uppesdd te have special weight for hard
worked newspaper men and these who
always carry their cares with them.
Drunkenness is thebalm prescribed for the
worn-out brain worker.
Cju'4 anything have mere et poison m
It than this suggestion ? There are thous
ands en the brink of giving way te their
appetites for drink, who would welcome
jutt such a pretext as this for tbe satis satis
factien et their desires. These wLe have
bean struggling te held themselves from
the reach et the tempter are insidiously
told that a prolonged spree is a thing net
all evil. Tbey forget the immeasurable
fall which man, fashioned after Gcd's
lavage, makes when be becomes besotted
with drink. Prem the klcgly state of
greatest of created beings, he falls te the
Jettest place In the brute creation,
"Come off the Hoef."
The Presbyterian general assembly in
session In Philadelphia has found away
te make its proceedings quite as enter
taining as the trial of Dr. Woodrew by
the Southern ceneral assembly for his
views en evolution.
The assembly in Philadelphia gees
back te days before the war for a live
topic, and becomes very much excited
ever the color-tine in the church, while
the assembly in Baltimore concerns itself
with new and hardly developed ques
tions of the relations of a scientific
theory te religion. The unpregresslve
Seuth is boldly dealing with a question
that seems as far in advance of the
thought of the day as the color line is be
hind it. Clergymen in Philadelphia are
showing mere bitterness in debate than
old soldiers who fought it out years age
en the Held of battle. The latter, along
with a veiy large majority of the nation,
are content te let the matter alone for
adjustment one way or another by Provi
dence, nnd by tacit consent, dlscueslen of
the destiny or tne race has been generally
abandoned.
The Southern assembly is perhaps
forced te devote time and thought te
evolution, but there is a homely popular
expression that contains feed for deep
thought and Is quite appropriate te both
assemblies. 'When there is se much
work te be done within the church, it
would be well te 4I come off the reef."

We have already oemmeutod upon tbe
dangerous preposition advaneed by tbe
phoxpballe jeast or baking powder makers
te dally dose tbe entire oemmuulty,
Irrespective et Its physical need or ali
ments, with llmesutphateaand phosphates,
Impurities tbat are found In their pewdera.
It eeeuia ultneat incrodlble tbat any sat.e

conditions if properly prescribed by a
iihslclan might bu useful as a modlclue.
1 uyslcaua will at once seu that te ouderso

goreus than te recommend te tbeir patients

In the recent examination of baking
powders made by tbe Ohie State Feed
Commission the puospbatiebaklugoryeant
powders were found te contain large
quantities of lime phosphates, llme sul
phates, eta, which appeared as Impurities.
Their manufacturers bave be far found It
luipocblble te get rid of thtse lmpurltlec,
and tbla probably accounts for tnelr re
markable claim that uuch Impurities are
geed fur us te eat.
Tbe preposterous character of this claim
Is evident from the fact well-known te all
physicians tbat the body gets with its
ordinary fecd mere llmepheaphatia tlmu

taxef, even In health, te threw this excess

DRIFT.
Last Mt I told you about Mrs. Margaret
Deland'a dainty and beautiful llttla velume
of poema, called Tbe Old Garden." That
Utile book has secured for lta gifted author
a high place among the female poets of our
country, itut aba evidently waa net con
tent with th If. Her ambition or Is It her
genlus? urged heron Inte new and ether
fltbls ; and the result la that sbe has written
a novel, which net only has taken every
body by surprise, but which, 1 feel positive
will win her a place among American
wrltera of fiction fully aa high as, or higher
tban "The Old Garden" aeonred ber
among our peetn, " Jebn Ward, Preacher,"
la tbe name of the novel j and If anything
atronger In Us way has been written In
American fiction slnce tbe appearance of
He! en Jacksen's "JUmens," I haven'tseen
It ; certalffly nothing has sppeared with a
mere original plot and novel motif, nothing
with mere skilfully drawn characters mero
skilfully managed, with strength, assur assur
ance and reserve that would be admirable
In a thoroughly trained and experienced
novelist, but tbat In a " first story " are
wonderful, almost Incredible.
"Jehn Ward " la a Calvlnlst preacher of
the old Puritan strlpp, who bolleveiwllh
all bis soul, net only In every tenet of his
theology, but as firmly tbat sueh belief Is
essential te salvation. In this way he holds
le the faith In a llteral hell. He honestly,
sincerely believes that te doubt It is te be
everlattlngly damned. Ills wife Helen, a
lovely young woman, who ha never
learned the Importance et creeds, but was
brcugbt up in the a' me iphere of thnoleglcal
lndlMurentlsm, oauuet tiring herself te be.
Hove In ber loving and beloved husband's
bell, much as she tries te de se. Ills con
gregation, a narrow, Ignorant, pbarlsjle
set, scent ber ' heresy," and bring all tbe
Inquisitorial machinery of eccleslastlelsm
te hear against ber and him. A coerd leg te
bis faith abe will be eternally lest It she
does net repent and be net couvertcd te
hla Idea of bell. He tries te cmvert her.
Htie tries te be converted, They fall.
Finally, se doth bis heart yearn for her
salvation tbat be drives her from blm,
though It nearly kills him te de It, think
ing that thus she may be converted, Ae.
Itut I'll net go en. It sounds tee unreal
and unnatural te tell It thus, whlle as elab
orated In the story It Is all horribly, pathet
ically, tragically natural and real. Tbat Is
Just where the author's skill tecum most
marvelleus te me. Hew alie can keep ua
net only from despising and bating Jebn
Ward as a mtaorable fanatic, but can keep
up our sympathy for him, make us pity
bun, almost bs much as we pity bis peer
wile, Is almost Inexpllcable te mr. ilut
novertheless she does It.
Nerls Jebn Warden impossible charac
ter, as from any attempted outline Ilka tbe
abeve it might appear. He is, If anything,
mere possible and real tban Uelen, I bave
known fanatics Just as lovable, tonder,
noble, In their humanity, and Just as bate-
ful and diabolical In tbeir thoelcgy, Ua is
thoroughly real and perfectly natural: a
painful oharaeter but a fascinating ene, as
the here of a novel; one of the most diffi
cult ones, Justly and adequately te doplet
tbat can well be Imagined. X don't xee
bow Mrs. Deland could de It se admirably
well.
Ker are tbe ether leading cbaraotera less
skilfully drawn. Net only the borelne,
who winB the reader's heart from tbeatart
and keepn It te tbe end j but capeclally ber
unele, the easy .going, comfortable Kpleoo Kpleeo Kpleoe
im I rector, who Is aa typical of bla class as
Ward Is et the ether extrerne. 1 bae
known morn tban oue Just llke hltn w
have you. Tbe old bachelor lawyer Is also
n fine character, most amusing yet pathetic
In the Indecision and attempted Imparti
ality of bis life long attention te the two de
lightful old spinster staters. He can't
make up bis mind which one be loves, or
rather ought te love most, and finally dies
still trying Impartially and Justly te divide
his alleotlens and attentions between thorn.
Take It all In all, the mero I think of it
tbe mere 1 admlre tbe skill of tbe author.
Tbe novel is a work te be proud of. I don't
knew of a stronger ene In recent American
fiction. Tnose who fail te read It will miss
meet tbe best things of the kind tbat has
been produced for many a J ear.
The publication by Me'srs. Houghten,
Milling Ce, utmost filuiultauoeualy with
their publication of "Jebn Ward, Preacher,"
of a cow edition of HoweIIs'h "Their Wed
ding Journey," with an additional chapter
describing a visit te Niagara by husband,
wife and children "twclve years after," led
me te reread the whole book. I laid tbe
velume aside when finished with net a Uttle
regret. What a pity that an author who
emild wrltoee charmingly, and who still
can, as the "additional chapter" clearly
shows, what a great pity tbat be has aban
doned the Held ei his early triumphs te be
come the champion, worshipper and
preaoher of mere realism I Fer after all
Mr. llowells hai never Blnce wrltten any
thing mero genuinely enjoyable, mere
truly charming In every reHiwxit, than lliose
early stories ltkn "Their Wedding Jour
ney," "A Chance Acquaintance," "A Fore
gone Conclusion," and tbe reat of that
kind, no; and it is certain tbat be never
will se long as he Is Joined te bis Frencb
and Kus.lan Idels, nnd tries te be resl for
realism's rake. Let blm repent " and de the
first works." Let blm ih himself again,
and bla realism will be real and natural and
ci tbe very beat kind.
That "additional ehuptei," by tbe way,
you want te read. Henoeferth "Their
Weddlng Journey" is uet com plcte with
out It.
Whlle I am bilking aheut novels, I want
te tell you about a projeet started by the
fertile brain and untiring enterprise of tbe
New Yerk publisher, Jehn 11. Alden.
While ethers have been holding meetings,
making vpeeches, petitioning Ceugress,
aud what net, te pretect and oncenrsgo
Amerlcau authors, Mr Alden bas gnne te
work aud done something that will open a
Held te American wrlterr, will soeuro them
BKOlnBt forelgn competition, and at tbe
same llme will glvu tbe American readers
clean, pure, feed literature, at a cost se tri
lling us hardly te be called cost at all,
Ills projeet Is this : He Issues In
weekly numbers part of a novel
or entlre abort stories written ex
clusively for blm and exclusively by
American authors (no forelgn writer's work
will be accepted and none is reprinted)
paid for by blm and copyrighted, which
numbers can be had by suDBcilbers atene
dollar h year I That Is, for ene dollar jeu
get every week aleut fifty pages et an
original American story, as geed as Ameri
can writers cau be t mi pted te prodiieu; se
tbat every four te eight weeks you tiaean
entlre net el of from 'J00 te 400 pages, and in
a year you get from alx te ten or mere such
complete novels. iBa't that simply wonder
ful? The publication is called Tht Novelist,
la printed en gerd paper, in large, clear
type and In neat aud attrautlve form and
cover. The completed novels, then, will
be republished teparately lu hatidsema
oleth blndlug, and In this form eiti be had
ut au average price of about thirty cents
each I
Itlsuredleas teaay tbat Mr. Alden will
net, under any circumstances, publish In
"The Novelist," or for that matter any
where else, auj thing trasby or morally un un un
wboUaeme or questionable In tone or ten
dency. His whole pa.it record is guarantee
of this ; lu fact bla whelu enterprise is a
pretest aglnst the floods et cheap llterry
poison that 11 led the country. He alma ie
counteract their infiueuce by clfwrlng pure
and wholesome reading at a price eveu
cheaper thau thclia.
Tbe first tour or five numbers of The
Novelist" contained a bright and racy
novel by " Hebert Tlmiel " entltlel " A
Pessimist." The author, while net known
in tbe realm of fiction before, U a tralned
aud experienced writer In ether sphere et
ileratuie. Indeed, 11 I were te tell you
bis real name, which 1 happen le knew, I
think jeu would be astonished, for yen
would atonee reeegnlzi la blm a scholar
and professional wan of high lank, hee
