REAPING A WHIRLWIND.
II, S. Helton's Nccond Wiln Invoke?
tho Aid of tho I.tuv.
One ot the sensations In embryo re
ferred to In these columns a week or
so ngo, has developed with tho sud
denness of a cyclone. H. 53. itollon,
until recently one of tills city n prom
inent merchants nnrt liverymen, him
iowert n tho winds nnd he Is now reap
ing 11 whirlwind.
Wife No. 2 hn.i had n wnnMiK Is
piled for his arrest nnd In her Infor

Lis wife and child, leaving their with
out any means of support, find that he
Is now living In adultery with one Win
nie Finnegan, contrary to tho tint ot
assembly ami the welfuro of tho com
monwealth. Itollon was locked up Thutsdny af
ternoon by Constable Neary, but Mayor
O'Neill ordered the Janitor to release
Mm nnd he returned to Scr-inton. Mrs.
Helton became lenient nnd de Ided nut
to pi ess the charge, but last night, up
on hearing that he Intended pnylm; her
a temporary visit only, she roncluclotl it
v 111 be better to have the Interference
of the lav In case he attompta to
leave again.

he has left his wife unprovirtJd f r mid
say he left a credit of $'.WJ at a groeeiy
Hole for his 'family's support.
He had $2.7"0 when he left the city,
having sold hN livery Interest to his
partner for that amount. Ills wife
fears that If something Isn't done soon
little ot It will be left.

wife and a ion in Honesdate. The out

CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION.
The Young .Men's Organization .May
Again Hccoinc Actlvo.
The prospects for the reorganization
of a Young Men's Christian association
In tills city are brighter than they have
been at any time since the doors of the
old Institution were clased. The recent
proposition to turn over the money In
the hands of the board of trustees to
the hospital was the means of awaken
ing a new Interest In the matter and
the voting down of the scheme Is proof
ot an existing belief that the associa
tion will one day arise phoenlx-lll'.e
from Its ashes.
This dormant sentiment la taking on
activity nnd may be expected to crys
tallze into a definite form and purpose
nt any time. The projectors will very
wisely attempt only a modest begin
ning. I: Is probable that the openlic
weiige will be made simply In the form
of a public reading room. This ,-na
the most popular department of tin;
old Institution. It probably accom
plished the greatest good, making a
pleasant and piotltable place for young
men to spend their evening hours and
one In which they felt that they wn
welcome. Such a venture could be
carried on with n very reasonable out
lay and it is possible that it will be
undertaken soon. The city clergymen
and the Ladles' auxiliary have nlri.tdy
been considering the matter.

Appomnnces of tho Young Ruler,
From the 'Washington Review.
There Is a young man In Pekln who
would be trembling Just now In his skin
if he were only able to realize properly
the danger that Is threatened to him
and his empire. He Is the Emperor
Kuang Hsu, euphemistically known as
the son of heaven and brother of the
sun. He is the most secluded monnrch
on earth. When he appears In public,
which Is rarely, matting Is hung up In
front of all the houses and strips of
cloth nro stretched across the alleys
and side streets through which the Im
perla,l procession must pass. He Is In
arlably accompanied by a vast retinue
of soldiers and an army of courtiers,
nnd the man who peeps around the
corner or has his eyes fastened to a
hole in the matting Is liable to be blind
ed by a bullet or an arrow. When he
Is nt home he is cnrefully hidden away
In the center of a big Tartar city
(which Is In the center ot the Chinese
city at Pekln), and you have to go
through three sets of walls simply an
Impossible task for n European visitor
before you approach the building In
which ho is kept, guarded by eunuchs.
Though he Is generally credited with
the possession of an ugly temper, which
Incites him to smash the bric-a-brac
of his apartments when he cannot have
his own way, his efforts at ruling go no
further than doing what ho Is told to
do. He Is kept In order ancestor wor
ship being a strong point in the celes
tial moral code by the old empress
dowager, who practically runs the state
show, and who Is influenced some
times by whims, working through a
thin leaven of diluted statesmanlike
feeling, and sometimes by that back
stairs palace Intrigue which works
through the favorable medium of her
favorite eunuch, Pltslan-ll-Kuang Hsu
which means the Illustrious succes
sion has been under the old lady's
thumb since he was four years of age,
when he was chosen to succeed T'ung-
chl. She supervised his education. She
picked out his wives for him, and she
makes the ladles of his harem skip to
day if they don't walk chalk In her
presence. Of come, she took her own
friends when she selected his wives,
and she has him so hemmed about with
her officials and girls that If he had a
will of his own he wouldn't know how
to use It. The empress dowager, who
has bossed the tsung-li-yamen for a
generation. Is now C3 years old. She
was the secondary wife of the Emperor
Hslen Fung. She was nt the head of
the empire during a greater part of
the Taeplng rebellion. She managed
its affairs during Its war with France,
and she has had more than one taste
of Russian diplomacy. She Is said to
have a mind of her own, and all
of the Chinese respect and fear her.
She Is a stickler as to form, and Insists
that all business shall be done through
the young emperor, though she really
directs what W Is to do. She Is even
more secluded thnn the emperor, and
when she receives her olllclals and the
cabinet ministers her practice Is to sit
behind a screen while they talk at Imr
through It unless she has something
strong to say to them.
The emperor Is twenty-seven, lean,
undeivized and unhealthy. Hit fea
tures are Tartar as contradistinguished
from Chinese; the reigning fnmlly be
ing (as every one should know, but pio-
bably docs notl Tartar. He does all
his btiplncrs at night and ho t-leops 'n
the daytime. Ho begins his work
about two in the morning after a mid
night breakfast, when he receives his
cabinet ministers, who, on being ush
ered into his presence, go down on their
knees and perform the seven-faced
"Ko-tou" that Is, bump their heads
again and again on th3 floor. They
also remain on their knees while beforo
him. Everything about and connected
with Kunng Hsu Is regulated by law,
oven to hi? meals. AccorJlng to tho obi
Chinese books there must bo placed he
fore him dally thirty pound of meat In
a basin nnd sten pounds boiled into
roup. He ha a dully nllowaneo of
about a pound of ho;;'s fat and butter,
and fie has the right to older two
sh'ep, t.vu fowls and two ducks, while
his di Ink for tho day is restricted to
the milk of eighty cows and the steep
ing of seventy-live parcels of tea. It
Is probable that his real diet Is differ
cnt, but these are tho regulation pro
visions, and If hu desires anything that
is not on the menu the board having
charge of the Imperial table has t'j be
consulted. It Is more than doubtful
whether his majesty realizes the exalt
ed situation and his power. He has
been hemmed In and fooled all his life.
He knows nothlnj of modern civiliza
tion, nnd, In spite ot the recent war,
next to nothing ot modern warfare. Ho
has never reviewed, and Is no', capable
of reviewing his army, and his com
mon amusement Is to shoot with n bow
and arrow. If ho ever had In him the
makings of a character they must have
been ruined long since by his mode of
life and his surroundings.

Torpedoes are divided Into two general
classes stationary and movable. Tho
former consist ot tho buoyai.t and ground
mine, while tho latter cIuhh Is subdivided
Into the automobile and dirigible. Thuso
terms have been narrowed until now the
fixed class Is geuerully known as the
submurlno mine, while the word torpedo
Is applied to the iuoablo class. Tho
buoyant mines uru exploded in contact
with or very close to tho bottom or tides
of a vesfcel under water, while the ground
mine acts at a much greater dlstanco
All mines are divided into other classes,

mU. K. V, THOMAS, ALPHA, 310.
Mir. Tfconini, of Missouri, Is one of
the many happy mothers who have
used Pc-ru-na. Hundreds of these wo
men are to be found In every part of
the United States mothers who have
been ailing for some reason or other.
They have failed to llnd relief. Many
times they have given up all hope.
Hearing of Pe-ru-na they have tried It.
not only to become cured, out to be
come life-long friends of Pe-ru-na.
I have used your Pe-ru-na and Mnn-
n-lln. I had been doctoring for several
years, out Kept gemng worse. one
day a neighbor woman brought me your
book, "The Ills of Life," and wanted
me to take your medicine. I told her
that I had given up all hope of ever
getting well I had tried so much medi
cine. My neighbors thought I wns
nearly dead with consumption. Final
ly I concluded that I would make a hist
trial. So my husband got me a bottle
of Pe-ru-na and Man-n-lln. I com
menced taking them according to direc
tions. Thnt was two years ago. A
year ago last November I gave birth
to a 10-pound baby boy, who Is well
and hearty; and I am doing my own
housework. I can never give Pe-ru-na
too great praise. I think It the best
medicine I ever heard of.
Mrs. E. E. Thomas.
Mrs. Lizzie M. Brewer, Westerly, R. I.
Mrs. Brewer, of Wcsteily, R. I., Is
well known in that beautiful city. It
would bo very dlllleult to find a more
enthusiastic, advocate of Pe-ru-na than
Mrs. Brewer. Her culture and popu
larity made Pe-ru-na a favorite rem
edy In the state of Rhodo Island long
before It was advertised in that sec
tion. Mrs. Lizzie M. Brewer writes In n re
cent letter to Dr. Hartman: "I was
very much pleased to rend lu our dally
paper for the (list time that your rem
edy (Pe-ru-na) is being advertised lu
our city. I have been doing for years
all that I could to make the peoplo of
our city understand the virtues of your
remedies, and you Judge how glad I
am to see your remedies advertised In
our papers. I have used Pe-ru-na in
my family for over four years. J llnd
It a Hiiro euro for all catarrhal affec
tions so common in this part of the
country. It .cures a cold nt once.
inore is no cough medicine that can
ai an enuai I'e-ru-na. Ah for la
grippe there is no other remedy that
can compare at all with Pe-ru-na."
When the baby has any trouble with
Its liver or bowels, instead or experi
menting with the deadliest nostrums
recommended for children, Dr. llnrt
mnn's celebrated remedy (Man-a-lln)
should he used. This remedy saves the
lives of many babies. At least this Is
what Mrs. Rogers, of Illinois, thinks.
She says:

In regard to my baby 1 will say that
your Man-n-lln saved his life, and It
was certainly n miracle, as he had tho
jaundice (caused by catarrh of the liv
er) so bad that his life was despaired
of, and before I wrote you he was so
thin his bones were pricking through
his flesh so bad I had tn pad his bands
nnd carry him on a pillow. Ho then
was three months old, and when he was
(ovt-n months old lie weighed 2.'
pounds. We stopped all other treat
ment but yours, nnd now he Is a beau
tiful baby. Mrs. C. T. Rogers.

Mrs. O. W. Heard, of Howth, Tex.,
Is the happy mother of a very charming
family. She believes In Pe-ru-na and.
La-cu-pl-a and could not be persuaded
to get along without them in her fam
ily. The portmlts of two ot her chil
dren indicate that they are as healthy
as they are beautiful.

January. She had some derangement
of the bowels. She was a mere skeleton

gard to her son Carl: "My son's ears

months old.

six weeks. He pronounced him well,
and for a few weeks he was not
troubled, but since that time tho dis
charge from his ears was almost con

began giving him Pe-ru-na and La-cu-pi-a.
and after he had tnken two
bottles of the La-cu-pl-a he was en

Miss Alda Moshcr is one of the largo
