V P1GES THAT APPEAL TO TflB PAKCI
nvxrrnur fob thb dispatch. 1
In answer to the question what book Has
given me most pleasure, I reply, without
hesitation, 'Pilgrim's Progress." It was
when I was about 7 years of ace that I
jL, passed from "Cinderella" to Bunyan's
matchless work without suspecting that it
v vii not a child's book. And. -possessed of
"- , ,
the precious volume new books were rare
in those days I climbed a tall "secretary,"
to escape the younger children, who were
too small to scale the back of a chair and
follow me. "We were a noisy set nine in
all and, secured iu comparative quiet, on
my high perch I dreamed dreams and saw
visions such as no fairy tale ever unveiled
to me. Types and shadows there were none.
The actors of the drama were not creatures
of fiction, they were positive substance, my
familiars, and now .are placed with my per
sonal recollections.
The narrow path, straight as a rule could
make it, was plain to my eyes as the foot
paths which streaked my father's orchard,
under the apple trees. I hung entranced
over every step in ;the marvelous journey,
and saw clearly, as I see this pen and paper
, the very stately palace, the name of which
was Beautiful, and it stood by the highway
side. How my young heart rejoiced when
Ohristain found the lions guarding it were
chained!
A PETKOELT HpEO.
As he dropped his load into a sepulcher
and gave three leaps for joy, my soul
t leaped too, only to sink again when he fell
, into the clutches of Giant Despair and was
beaten with the grievous crab-tree cudgel in
the awful courtyard paved with skulls of
Pilgrims. How foolish of him to forget the
key Promise, which would open any lock in
Doubting Castle, and how I;longed to twist
my hands in the hair of that Flatterer With
his netl
Delicious to imagination were the good
things the travelers had to eat by the way.
The raisins and pomegranates, the cordials,
wine red as blood and those wonderful
grapes that go down so sweetly as to cause
the lips of them that are asleep to speak.
The feasts almost made up for the fights
with scaly dragons and terrific shapes coming
ont the burning pit, terrors that made
hideous the road through the Dark Valley,
and satisfied my juvenile love ot the myste
rious and horrible.
Sweet to childish fancy were the rarities
and fair shows of the Interpreter's Honse;
the letter of the king which smelt after the
manner of the best perfumes; the orchards
and vineyards of the Delectable Mountains
(then I had never seen a mountain), and
the loving shepherds atBeulah who strewed
flowers before the feet oi the pilgrims bound
for the city of their Prince.
CHILDISH PERPLEXITIES.
Here and there I had to spell out hard
words, many things were puzzling, but the
Tery wonderments added to the charm of the
story. "What was a qnagmire, what was a
muck-rake, what were stocks, a civet-box;
how conld one grasshopper burden a man,
. and what sort of shoes were they which
- never wear out, and how could the Shining
Ones dress in gold clothes ?
. I shivered at the passage through the cold
black river, forever flowing; the river that
has no bridge, bat, oh, the rapture in. the
j f triumph beyond 1 The ringing bells, the
L Jnelodions noises, the singers and' harpers
Vith their harps; above all, the One who sat
in the great white throne with the rainbow
round His head. Those pages thrilled me
like an outburst of triumphant music, the
exultant feeling one has in cathedrals re
sounding with Borne mighty anthem.
It was winter time, and the pleasanter for
deep snows withont were thoughts of warm
palace rooms, the delicate plain ease, the
shady arbor and the meadow curiously beau
tified with lilies, green all the year long.
At sunset I looked through glistening
towers on frosty window-panes, as many
n years afterward I watched the domes and
, spires of old Stamboul floating in silvery
mists of the Bosphorus, and recalled the
tremulous glimmer in the shepherds' per
spective glass.
GEEATHEABT, THE "WABBIOE.
On top of a high hill called Clear they
could not look steadily, yet they thought
they saw something 'like the gate of the
Celestial City, and also some of the glory of
the place. .Nothing was faint or vaporous.
Near at hand, not high and distant, was the
City of theping an nndimmed" splendor.
"When I went to bed that night, lovely
EnapeswaiKing, noating. Hying, went with
me, and angel-eyes watched over my sleep.
The supreme delight of the book was Great-
heart, my hero in bright armor and helmet
with plumes; the giant-killer, the lover of
women and children, who marched up to the
lions, eot minding if they were chained or
not. That warrior-image has not changed in
the waste of years, nor can it change. He
lives while realities have died. I loved him
then, I love him yet.
Familiarity has not dulled the charm ot
the wondrous tale, and still does the mystic
touch of memory sound the ancient strings.
In a half century of pilgrimage I have re
peatedly met tne very brfsk lad named
Ignorance, who came lrom the country of
Conceit, have caught glimpses, ton several
continents, of Madame Bubble selling her
vanities, a tall, comely dame, with some
thing of a swarthy complexion. And, in
strange lands, while under the friendly roof
of our missionaries, I bethought me of the
large upper room where the Pilgrims slept
and Mercy dreamed her glorious dream. Its
window opened toward tUfc sun-rising: the
name of the chamber was Peace. '

me like the poor little house where he spent
his boyhood, unconscious that he was to en

As I write the name, there rises before me
the cool, gray day we spent at Stratford.
The 'waters of Avon go softly past the old
town, which is specklessly clean and bow
ered in vines and creepers. On the Lucv
estate, hard by, is the Shakespeare stilel
made in the ancient fashion, so the upper
bar drops and catches the feet of the poacher
trespassing on the deer park. "We regis

which he used to sleep among the rolls of

There was the chimney seat where the lad
must have wamed his leet and watched the
embers ot the hearth turn to phantoms dim
and gray. Immortal beings were all abont
us. They filled the air, peopled the spaces,
flitted by on noiseless wing and swnng on
threads of gossamer in the tree-tops. The
pleasant spirits came unsought and without
call. Mysterious footfalls left no sound or
imprint in the quiet streets, though august
shapes attended us. We felt the
MAJESTIC PRESENCE OF LEAK

Moor. They joined our walk and hovered

Not one thought "of the endless debate
came near us that day. Among the green
haunts were many shadows, but the cloudy
spectre named Bacon did not appear. Who
wrote Othello, the most pathetic of human
composition? As well ask who made the
world.
Next to Shakespeare stands Scott. "Iran
hoe" is a perfect romance, and the last con
Venation of Bebecca with the Templar is
worthy the great master himself. The syl
van scenes, with scented woods and rushing
brooks, are reminders, of the deep forest
where Jacques mused and Eossllud laughed
at love till he caught her in his net.
It ill becomes One who has not read "Bob

or tell, even in this strict confidence, how,
in the general deluge of literature, the only
rest is found with a few souls counted worth
saving from the flood. .
tUS BEST BOOKS TO BEAD.
Bead nfean books and you think the
whole world mean. Better to seek the dem
igods of Plutarch, or read tales of brave
men near our time, who were stirred by
deep impulses to endure sacrifice for a noble
end. Though there is no opportunity for
heroic deeds, we can admire and revere the
heroes who heard heavenly voices and
thrilled with the sense of great things, visi
ble and invisible, to be struggled tor. So
shall we, too, be uplifted.
The brief space allotted me forbids more
than a hint of afternoons filled with the
music of the poets. Familiar are th'e melo
dies of "Penseroso" and "Allegro," the
words of the "Ancient Mariner," of "Mar

voice, "hollow like a ghost's, of Arthur

New Yobk, June L Patrick Fitzger
ald, who keeps boats to hire at the foot of
Bast Eighty-ninth street, stood under his
shed just before 1 o'clock this afternoon
watching three men who had come up the
East river in a row boat The stiff breeze
had roughened the water, but one of the
three men sat in' the stern with his hands pn
the gunwales aiding the rocking motion of
the boat by swaying his body from side to
side. The man at the oars, too, was appar
ently trying to capsize the boat, or see how
much tipping it would stand without actually-going
over. Finally he lost his hat.
He pulled up close to it, but before he could
get it the boat went over, spilling its occu
pants in the river about 100 feet offshore.
1 Jfitzgerald shouted to Alonzo Jerolomer,
who was on a float near by, and Jerolomer
and another man put off in a boat to rescue
the three men. Two of them had struck out
for shore, after clinging to the capsized boat
for a few moments. The third was drifting
down stream. He was the man who had
sat quietly inthe boat. His head appeared
above the water two or three times, and
then he disappeared. The others were res
cued. They were taken to the police sta
tion and there gave their names as Osborn
Mackay and Peter Linden. They said the
man who floated down the river was Corne
lius Carr. 19 years old. of Williamsbnrc.
The police sergeant thought they intended
to capsize the boat, and they wcreield on a
charge of homicide.
A SOCIAL BRIGADE.
AKnmberof Tonng West Enders Enjoyed
Dfecornlion Dny In the Rain.
On Thursday, Decoration Bay, a number
of young people who called themselves- the
Social Brigade of "West End enjoyed them
selves in a grove several miles beyond
Mansfield.
The brigade was organized under the
management of Messrs. George Phillips and
Stewart Horner.and consisted of 30 persons,
ladies and gentlemen. The brigade was
taken to the grove, at which it arrived
near noon, in two four-horse wagons. Sin
ner being sooi? prepared and over, the party
indulged in numerous games, and pleasure
seemed to be at its height, when all were
forced to seek shelter from the rain which
came down Abundantly. The gentleman
who owned the grove kindly invited the
party into the honse, and at his consent
they took fuH possession.
Sapper was soon prepared and those who
so desired ate and drank freely, and at 7:30
the wagons were re-loaded and a start was
made for home, where all seemed anxions to
be. The rain fell continuously all the way,
but all melancholy feelings were driven
away by singing, the music of which seemed
to charm and stimulate even the horses. At
9.30 the tired party arrived near the place
from whence they had left more than 12
hours before.

In Uie' Republican1' County Commit
tee delayed Awhile. '
IT WILL COME A MONTH HENCE.
Home .Signs of the Expected Tussle at
Testerday'a .Meeting.
PEAIS1 FOB THE BETIB1HG OFFICERS
There was just the beginning of a battle
over the rule question' at the meeting of the
County Republican Executive Committee
at City Hall yeerday afternoon, when it
was cut short and the gttns of oratory were
spiked by an adjournment for four weeks.
The organization of the committee had been
an event anxiously looked for since, the
primaries, as it was expected that then the
Magee, or rather Fllnn, and Quay forces
could be seen in the flesh and not on the
tally sheets as made out by either faction. ,
The Flinn claims of a majority were ap
parently well founded by the appearance
of the committee as it gathered itself to
gether in Common Council Chamber.
There was qnito a different scene than that
which usually characterized former meet
ings. The membership and attendance were
not so large by .nearly 100 and the membeiB
were more easily handled. In consequence
of this the committee got down to. work at
330, with President Von Bonnhorst in the
chair. The roll of membership was read by
"W. H. McCleary, Secretary Berry being
weak as regarded his' voice. The attend
ance was rather large, but the Eighth dis
trict showed up with but orie member.
The lob'by was filled with some City Hall
officials and others interested, but to the
many who usually attend outside the rail
'there was more to be seen about The Dis
patch bulletin board.
THE NEW 0FFICEE3,
Chairman Von Bonnhorst announced an
election of officers as the first business, and
to begin the business "William Flinn, he of
"home-rule" fame, nominated "W. D. Porter,
Esq., of Allegheny, for Chairman. John
N. Neeb, of Allegheny, wa3 nominated for
Vice President by Wiljiam Langhurst, and
Bobsrt Berry for Secretary was proposed by
"William McCleary. The gentlemen were
all elected, and Mr. Potter being absent
owing to illness, Mr. Neeb grasped the
gavel and assumed the dnties of Chairman.
The first resolution offered was by A. O.
Bobertson. It was to the effect that the
sufferers by the flood be tendered tho sym
pathy of the committee, and that each mem
ber use his best efforts to do alj that he can
in the way of tendering relief. The resolu
tion was unanimously adopted.
Then the rule question arose. It arose in
material form in the person of Mr- Flinn,
who offered a resolution that the active
chairman appoint a Committee of Bules,
consisting of nine members, each Legisla
tive district to be represented, and that all
propositions as to rnies snonid De submitted
to the committee without debate.
This didn't strike Walter Lyon as being
proper, and he moved to amend by having
the chairman appoint the committee, Mr.
Flinn said that it didn't matter who made
the appointments. "There's been a good
deal of talk about these rules," said Mr.
Flinn, "and I want to see them changed,
and as soon as possible.
Mr. Lyon This Committee on Bules will
have 'a great deal of work to do, and the
Chairman should be held responsible.
After some small talk Mr. Lyon's amend
ment was put and defeated, and the commit
tee was appointed as iouows:
First district, W. D. Porter: Second. C.
"W. Dahlinger: Third, John Gripp; 'Fourth-
r Ji. jucvieori xtitu, it imam Jiiinn
and A. C. Bobertson; Sixth, Dr. E G. Fos
ter; Seventh, "Walter Lyon; Eighth, "Will
iam German.
Mr. Flinn then moved to reconsider the
vote under which the so-called obnoxious
rules were adopted.
Mr. C. "W. Bobison, of Allegheny I sec
ond it.
Mr. Flinn Did you vote for the rules?
Mr. Bobison No, sir, I
Mr. Flinn I thought you couldn't sec
ond the motion.
John F. Cox thought the reconsideration
of the rules would dissolve the" body, as it
would then have nothing to authorize its
existence. He said that every rule pro
posed by this new committee be rejected
and the presentrules would then be adopted.
ILLEGAL ADOPTION ALLEGED.
Mr. Lyon said that at the time these rules
were supposed to have been adopted there
were other rules in force. "If we refuse
these rules the others will be in force. The
present rules were never legally adopted.'
The chair ruled that the only way to get rid
of the rules was to reconsider the vote.
Mr. Lyon took exceptions to this by saying
that only 80 members at present could not
undo what 180 had done last year. How
ever, Mr. Flinn's motion to reconsider was
passed, and then John B. Henricks moved
that the rules be referred to the committee.
Mr. "Flinn moved to amend this by adopt
ing all rules except No. 23 relating to any
changes proposed."
John S. Bobb This committee is abont to
antagonize every Bepnblican in the countv
who voted at the last primaries with the un
derstanding that the rules were to be
changed. They voted to wipe out the rules
and here we are abont to adopt them. If
we adopt them the committee may not make
a report for a year.
"While this was going on "Walter Lyon,
Mr. Flinn and others were consulting, and
as a result Mr. Flinn moved that when the
rnmmittee adiourn it do so to mnet in fan
weeks to hear a 'report from the Committee
on Bules. Tbis was adopted with a good
grace by all.
The following resolution was introduced
by Mr. Flinn and then adopted!
Besolved, That the officers and members of
the Republican County Committee or 1888 are
entitled to the thanVs of tho Bepnblicans of
Allegheny county for their efforts which re
sulted in maKin
more than zo.ouo
ncr HepuDiican
Mr. Bobertson then paid a tribute to ex
Chairman Von Bonnhorst, after which the
meeting was adjourned.
It was the sentiment of many of the com
mittee that the rules should be changed so
as to allow each election district a
member in ,the County Committee, which
wonld place the membership at the same
number as before the operation of the much-talked-of
rules.
Cramps of the Mnicles Cnred.
John L Wood, of Stratford, Ont, "was cnred
of cramps in the legs by wearing Allcock's
Porous Plasters. Mr. Wood says:
"Some three months ago I was taken very
sick with severe pain m the small of my back
over the kidneys. Tne pain was excruciating.
I applied an Allcock's Porout Plaster over the
affected region and had relief almost within an
hour. At the same time, in conjunction with
this trouble. I had very great nervous disturb
ance, affecting my legs with cramps so I conld
scarcely sleep. Meeting with snch success with
my back I applied a plaster under the knee on
each leg, and In three days was completely
cnred, and have never been troubled in either
way since." su

i., .
The Sates and Places Kot Tet Decided
Mount Gretna "Will Have o Contingent
Harvesting Interferes.
The arrangements for the encampments
of the National Guard of Pennsylvania are
as-yet in a very unsettled state, and no defi
nite preparations have-as yet been 'decided
upon by the authorities in charge of that
matter.
A semi - official request has been
made by the regiments of the Second
Brigade that the time for the .encampment
be fixed any timebetweea the 2d and 16th
of July.
Batteries A,B and O, the First City Troop,
of JfhUadelphia; the Sheridan Troop, of Ty
rone, and the Governor's Troop, of Harris
burg, will go into oamp at Mount Gretna
with two troops of the regular army
(cavalry) and three batteries of light artil
lery. .
The Colonels of the different regiments of
Battery B, however, have sent in a request
that the time of the encampment be post
poned from July until August. They state
that harvesting will very much Interfere
with the encampment if it takes place in
July, and the men cannot be got together.
The Fourteenth Begiment has made ar
rangements to goto.Idlewild, nearLigonier,
on the Llgonler Branch road, and the
Eighteenth Begiment has asked to go up
the Monongnhela valley, but it wis learned
yesterday lrom a very "reliable source that
the permission to go there will not be
granted it for the reason that the Monon
gahela valley is not a suitable pjace lor an
encampment.
THE KEW U. S. COLLECTOR.
Samnel D. Warmcnstle Assumes His Duties
as Collector of Internal ttovenno No
Chances In the Force Until Jane 30.
Samuel D. "Warmcastle. who. by virtue of
being a Bepnblican and on the right side,
was recently appointed Collector of Internal
Bevenue for this district, yesterday assumed
the duties of hfsofiioe. There wasn't much
ceremony about the affair, and the stepping
up and in of Mr. "Warmcastle succeeded the
stepping down and out of Mr. Bigler'With
out any stumbling on the political stairs,
Mr. "Warmcastle accompanied Mr. Bigler
to-the office before business hours yesterday
morning, and took the oath of office as pre
scribed by Notary Bichard "Webb. The
business of the office was then turned over
to the new collector and Mr. Bigler was
onoe more, bjj virtue of being a Democrat,
and on the wrong side, a private citizen.
Mr. "Warmcastle was asked about changes
In the force of employes, and he said that
none would be made. The same clerical
force was attending to business yesterday,
and all of the deputy collectors were sent
new bonds, which they will be expected to
fill out and return.
From another source it was learned that
the changes will not be made until June 30,
the end of the fiscal year. The reason for
this is that it is desired to have the present
employes close up the year's business, with
which they are so familiar.

A E1YAL TO PORTLAHD CEMENf.
A Koff
Process to Is Introduced
German flhetaist.
by a
$200,000 CAPITAL TO BB IHYESTED
Mr. Charles Spannagel, of Berlin, Ger
many, is now in the city negotiating for the
Introduction into this oountry of the manu
facture of a cement, of different chemical
constituents, but the same In effect to Port
land cement which is now wholly imported
from Germany and England. Dr. Ludwig
Preu&sner, a member, of the, Geological
Society of Berlin, is expected here from the
latter place next Tuesday to work in con
nection with Mr. Spannagel. Dr. Preuss
ner Is a practical chemist, who has discov
ered a valuable process of making cement
equal, ifjiot superior, to Portland cement
out of common limestone, clay and some
other constituents obtainable many places in
this country.
WHY THEY CAME HnHEB.
When fold by Mr. Spannagel qf the pros
pect lor the new cement and the great de
mand for it in America, which country had
been visited before by the informant, Mr.
Preussner decided to visit this country and
Mr. Spannagel came over ahead of him in
his interests. .
Mr. Spannagel said he had visited St.
Louis, Indianapolis and various other cities
in different parts of the United States, but
found in no place the natural resources so
well adapted to its manufacture as in Pitts
burg. Several local capitalists have already sig
nified their intention of joining in the en
terprise and it is the purpose to establish a
cement works as soon as possible near Pitts
burg with a capitalization of abont 5200,000.
An exact location has not been decided on
yet, bnt it will be within a short distance of
the city.
The limestone, clay and other ingredients
nsed in its manufacture are found in abun
dance in and about Pittsburg, and
THE CHEAP ITTEIi
will make it possible to manufacture it very
cheap. Dr. Preussner will arrive Tuesday
and make a close analysis of the materials
at different points, and the location will be
decided on accordingly.
It is estimated that the cement can be
easily manufactured for $1 SO per barrel,
while the Portland cement, which has to be
imported, costs $3. The duty, ocean and
inland freight on the latter cost about $1 per
barrel. There is now 2,000,000 barrels of
cement" imported into the United States, so
there seems to be no danger of a market,
and should the new departure prove a suc
cess in every way the saving to builders
will amount up into the millions.
The process will be patented as soon as
possible, and it is proposed to enlarge the
works or establish others as soon as its man
ufacture is introduced into this country.
A WOMAN PHYSICIAN ARRESTED.
Charged With Malpractice nod tho Killing
of Hospital Patients.
rSFXCni. TELXOBAM TO Till DISPATCH.l
Brooklyn, June 1. The Kings county
grand jury for a week or more has been in
vestigating the management of the "Women's
Hospital on Greene and Sumner avenues.
It not only brought in indictments against
Mrs. Dr. Mary Ann Dixon Jones, and her
son, Df. Charles Dixon Jones, who are in
charge of the hospital, for manslaughter in
the seconddegree, bntrecommended District
Attorney Bidgway to take immediate steps
to have the charter of the hospital revoked
on the ground that the transactions in that
institution are a disgrace to the city.
The charges against Mrs. Jones and her
son are based on the oirenmstances attend'
ing the deaths of Ida 1. Hunt, last Febru
ary and of Sarah T. Bates in June last, after
they bad been under treatment at the hos
pital. In the case of Mrs. Hunt it is averred
that an unnecessary operation was per
formed and that the woman was hurried out
of the hospital on a, cold night while almost
in a dvinz condition. Mrs. Bates died at
'. the hospital, and it is alleged that the un
dertaker had been summoned ana tne aeatn
certificate made out for one honr at least be
fore breath had left her body. "While the
certificate assigned malignant blood poison
ing as reason ot death, the antopsy, it is
said, clearly showed it resulted from mal
practice. Mrs. Jones and her son were arrested and
arraigned before Judge Moon in the Court
of Sessions. Through their lawyer, Bichard
S. Newcomb, a plea of not guilty in each
case was entered and a demand made for a
speedy trial. Bail was-fixed at 57,600 and
55,000 respectively, and was furnished after
a delay of several hours. Mrs. Jones says
that the charges have been trumped up
against her by some neighbors who object
to the hospital as a detriment to the real
estate in the neighborhood.
A Snre Deliverance.
Not Instantaneously, it fs true, but in a short
space of time, persons of a billons habit are
saved from the tortures which a disordered
liver is capable of Inflicting, by Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, an anti-bilious medicine and
aperient of the first rank. The pains in the
right side and through the tight shoulder
blade, the sick headache, nausea, constipation
and saffron hue of tho skin, are entirely re
moved by this estimable restorative of tone to
the organs of secretion and digestion.

Dr. Campbell, of Latrobe, Tells of That
Fever Caie The Blat'o Board of Health
,' Ends Its Work.
At the closing session of the State Board
of Health yesterday Dr. Campbell, of
Latrobe, was present in reference to the
death certificate in which a corpse was
shipped from Latrobe to Ohio. He satis
fied the board that the certificate was made
Out in good faith, withont any intention to
defraud or for any pecuniary reward. The
board decided that it was not-a case of issu
ing a certificate with false intent, but
warned the doctor against giving a certificate
without information, either personally or
through an attending physician, of the
actual disease and history of th,e case.
Similar action was taken in the case of
Dr. Vankirk, of McSeesport,
The first paper read v? as by Dr. J. O.
Flower, 6f this city, on "Hygiene of the
Teeth.' He said that the principal cause
of decay of teeth was from injury to the
spine, caused in children by bejng com
pelled to sit in a constrained position while
at school. Good food, air and no confine
I ment in school were suggested as means for
preferring me leera oi emiuren.
Crosbv Gray, for many years an 'officer on
the local Board of Health, read a paper on
"Local Sanitation," which was exhaustive
and told of Pittsburg's improvement in san
itary matters.
"A review of the laws of the various
States relating to contagions diseases among
domestic animals with special reference to
glanders," formed the theme for an able
paper read by Charles Mclntire, Jr., M. D.,
Professor of Chemistry in Lafayette College.
"The Suburban Home," a paper read by
George G. Groff, acting President of Bnck
nell University, was interesting, and then
the following papers were accepted without
reading:
"Some Effects of Orer-tndnleSnca in Animal
Food," by J. C. Dunn, M. D., of Pittsburg;
'The Metal Worker's Occupation and His
Health." By Pemberton Dudley "The Hygiene

"Some Advantages of Modern City Bujld
ingiWith Special Beference to theEespi

paper on "Bovine Vaccination," by H. M.

mittee and then adjourned.
DISTANCES IK ALASKA.
Ton Can Go West From Sitka Farther Than
East Withont Leayins; the United States.
Detroit Free Press.
"When I sat at my desk in Sitka," said
Governor Swineford, "I was further from
Attn Island, the westernmost part in Alas
ka, than I was from Portland, Me. This
may serve to give some idea of the prodig
ious distances of Alaska. But I can furnish
n more striking one. If the capital of the
United States was located in the center of
the United States that is to say, at a point
equidistant from Quaddyhead, Me., atfd
Attn Island, Alaska it' would be in the
Pacific ocean, some 600 miles north by west
of San Francisco."
It isindeed, an almost boundless empire
that Mr. Swine'ord has ceased to govern and
that Fred A. Maynard has lost. Few peo
ple appreciate the colossal size of the Alas
kan dominion of the United States. Even
prominent Dublic men are apt to regard it
as a little fringe ot the frozen zone, quite
unworthy of their attention. William S.
Holman once had this idea of Alaska. A
couple of years ago, when Governor Swine
ford was urging the House Committee on
Territories to report favorably on 'a bill to
give Alaska something more than a sem
blance of Territorial Government, Mr. Hol
man said:
"Well, Governor, my idea Is that Alaska
ought to be made a county of Washington
Territory. That wonld be the simplest way
to dispose of the troublesome Bussian pur
chase." ,
Swineford was mad in a minute. He
promptly advised the great objector to go
and buy some primer geography, and He
never had the patience to discuss the matter
with him again.
It has .ong been said that the sun never
sets on the British Empire. But it is not
generally known that it is equally true that
the sun never sets on the domain of the
United States. It is shining on the Aleu
tian Inlands while it is the dead ot night on
Martffc's Vineyard. The United States laps
nearly half way around the world. It ex
tends from 67' west longitude to 169 east
longitude. Alaska has between 800,000 and
900,000 square miles of land surface, and a
great water area. 'It is nearly as large as
tne Uplted states east ol tne Mississippi.
Governor Swineford took a journey last
summer of more than 10,000 statute miles
without leaving his domain as Governor.
He went on the United States steamship
Thetis, which was placed at his disposal by
the Secretary of the Navy. The Journey oc
cupied four months and five days being
much longer than tne famons exploring ex
pedition of Governor Cass, which played a
part in the early history of Michigan.
BAR ASSOCIATION MEETING.
Non-Members to Attend the Plcnle Bes
olntlons on Mnjor Harper's Death.
The regular meeting of the Bar Associ
ation was held yesterday afternoon. But
little business was disposed of. A discus
sion was occasioned by a resolution pre
sented, which gives the Executive Com
mittee discretion to invite members of
the bar, not members of the association, to
attend the picnic June 17. The resolution
was finally adopted, thereby repealing the
action taken bv the association about two
months ago, when it was decided that none
but members of the association be invited to
attend.
Edward Smith, Esq., reported the death
of Major Samuel Harper, and, though
Major Harper was not a member of the as
sociation, a resolution of respect was ordered
to be placed on the minutes. Fourteen new
members were elected.

A. Snake Charmer Swears OAT After an
Evening; of Terror
V IsrECTAI. TZfliailAJI TO TnXDISPATCTM
New- Tobk, June 1. Snake Charmer
'John McConnell was hastily summoned
from his home to the Eig'bth Avenue
Museunoast evening, to persuade a willowy
and elusive rattler which had escaped from
the snakehox to return thereto. Mr. Mc
Connell got up feeling a trifle rocky. He
became conscious that he had a system, and
appreciated that a demijohn of whisky was
a little more than the system could assim
ilate without something of a strain. He
put on all his apparel except a necktie,
which he had mislaid the night before. He
sav the tie on the floor, and was about to
Sick it np when It rose on its tail and began
issing threateningly.
Mr. McConnell, with a coolness bred of
long familiarity with dime museum mira
cles, placidly picked up the snake and tied
it around his neck, not doubting that it
wonld" resume its original shape. He was,
a trifle puzzled when it didn't, and grew
jnst a little alarmed when he found thathe
room was lull of the reptiles. He got a
clothes basket and started to pick theni up,
when presto they turned into rats.
The transformation was too much for Mr.
McConnell. He had never had any experi
ence in charming rats, and he rushed out
into the street He got a big dose of bromide
from a druggist in the neighborhood, went
to the museum and put the sure-enough
snake- away. He has sworn off on snake

The old shantvboat, which has been moored

danger of being swept away. The woman

The colored roustabout, Albert Green by

THE TRUE TAILOR SYSTEM
Why Not Draft Ladies' Garments the
Same as aTailor Does Gentlemen's,
Using Only a Tailor Square
and Tape Measure?
They are drafted the same, but only a few
are aware of the fact. Dressmaker are too
busy to look after their own interests, and
having been fooled, persuaded and deluded
so many times Into buying "pasteboard
charts," "models," "graded scales" and ma
chines called "tailor systems" of cutting of
some kind, that they have lost confidence in
all, good and bad, and only think of it.
"Who can blame them?" Not I. for to-dav
the same story is being told them by parties
in this city who are trying to sell them a
"pasteboard arrangement" and giving them
some English or French name to delude
them.
Dressmakers should remember this and
saVe their money. The moment you buy
pieces of pasteboard filled full of holes, that
moment you are buying a chart. No mat
ter what name it is called Smith's, Brown's,
Clark's, English or French tailor systems,
they are all alike, for a "chart" is a paste
board arrangement. Now, if you want a
"chart" I will furnish you with them at
37 cents each, or $1 SO per dozen, but I
would much rathergive you a knowledge of
cutting the same as a tailor for $10. Some
thing you cannot lose, will not burn up or
wear out.
"Knowledge Is wealth," "Pasteboard is
pasteboard." Now which do you want, a
pasteboard chart and be dependent, or a
knowledge and be independent?

Specialist In the Care of Rupture and Chronis

Dr. "Woods has had a large practice in
this branch of his profession without any
public advertising, bnt as many who might
have been useful and ornate members of
society, fill untimely graves, whom he might
have cured by seasonable treatment and
given them "le'ngth of davs," he has long1
felt it a dnty he owes to the afflicted to step
aside from the restrictions of so-called med
ical etiquette and announce to the publia
that he gives special attention to a much
neglected class of diseases.
Many years ago Dr. Woods went through
the prescribed course of medical study
with his fellow students, received his
diploma and took an equal stand in the
profession with the best of his medical
brethren; yet he is fttily -Evinced from
jengiueneu uuservauon, inac Dtrng a graa

sequent success in practice is the proper
gauge by which to judge of his merits. Oa
this severe and critical test Dr. "Woods has
stood and the elevated position he occupies
in the medical profession makes it clear that
his success has been unusual. Profession
ally Dr. Woods relies on his own powers and
resources, and has achieved a remarkable
degree of perfection in diagnosis, which en
ables him, at a glance, to comprehend the
complications of obscure, new and anoma
lous type3 of disease. He has given years
of devoted study to his practice and effected
snch marvelous cures that the greatest as

afflicted are false to themselves not to avail

successful modern method of treatment-
Dr. Woods' treatment being mild and
safe, his patients are in no case subjected to
painful or unpleasant operations, and in the
majority of'instances they can pursue the
course of treatment directed at their homes '
and without interruption to their usual voca
