COMMEMORATION OF
THEIR PATRON SAINT
Concluded from J'ngc 3.
inp In build a Bont-rnl theory to tav
ern nil case, nnl yet no I look back
at tliu long line of unsuccessful orators
I bavo met nnil took the sainc with,
inv attention Is nrrested by tin; Amire
of a gentleman whom I knew years
ago, and who for a brief period en
joyed a newspnper reputation as an
orator second to none.
1 had never attended a political meet
ing, and one evening t war. attracted
by it placard which In llery letters an
nounced to tho great mn.su of uneducat
ed vntcrH the fact thnt Jlr. . I will
rail him Chlnwag, that Mr. Chlnwng.
candidate for the state- senate, would
address the populace on the Issues of
the day. The hall was thronged. On
the platform nat orators large and ora
tors small, mostly small. The presi
dent of the club under whose auspices
the meeting was held In a few words
requested the attention of the audience,
as the popular young lawyer, and ora
tor Mr. Chlnwag would address the
meeting.
SONO ON FLAGS.
I see him now. Majestically he aro-o
from his seat. With his lightning
glance he surveyed the nudlence, stand
ing sller.t for a. full moment, in son
orous tones ho commenced. Pointing
to an American flag which was bang
ing at the end of tho hall, he said,
'When I gaze at that flag every libra
which vibrates with liberty, my heart
palpitates with joy." He spoke of the
land of the free and the home of tho
brave, and when he mentioned tin
nnmes of the great men of his party
who had died and left an Imprint on
tho history of their country the audi
ence howled Itself into a hemorhage.
A night or two later I saw nn an
nouncement that Chlnwag was ready
to again enlighten the masses in a cer
tain hall, and again I went, only to
hear 'the gentleman point to the flag
and to discover that his heart was still
palpitating with unbounded Joy. And
while Chlnwag's heart was palpitating
with pure unadulterated patriotic joy,
his opponent was making the hearts of
the merry voter palpitate with whiskey,
and when the returns were counted
Chlnwag discovered that tho nwisn
were not half as enlightened us he
gave them credit for being.
The popular orator had been defeat
ed. It was a sad blow to his friends.
Today Mr. Crinwag sits upon the wool
sack of the Justice of the peace giving
judgments with oratorical flomishes,
nnd occasionally he enlivens tho mon
otony of his life by delivering a speech
at a flag raising where he and a motley
crowd as Artcmus Ward says, deliver
themselves of sentiments which con
clusively prove that they are ready to
sher3 every drop of blood every relative
possesses In their country's cause.
The day for great forensic efforts to
my mind Is past. Oratory has become,
cheap. Every ass who can arire on his
bind leg3 and bray Is denominated an
orator. Every man who is announced
to deliver a few remarks at a gather
ing is announced to deliveran oration.
Every man who ever addressed J. meet
ing If he Is fortunate enough to be ac
quainted with a reporter Is spoken of
as the eloauent Mr Dash. Why gen
tlemen, in these degenerate days It is
utterly imnosslble to throw n stone
without bitting an orator, and I might
suggest that It would not be unwlru
for the fixing of a dav in each year
when we can have a gneral massacre
of orators, and if within say ten or
llfteen days after the massacre nnv
man is found harboring or aiding and
abetting any orator to escape the just
ionsequences of his sins that the per
son so aiding and abetting be punished
bv being branded as eloquent and as nn
orator.
I doubt not but that in the time of
Demosthenes or Cicero, or rather lot
mo say In the days when there was no
dally press, orntory counted for some
thing. Then the ability to talk in pas
sionate and thunderous tones meant
much. The people would congregate in
the forum and the news of the day
would bo discussed. Propositions of
the government would be advanced and
debated and ho who was an orator, the
simon pure article could accomplish
either good or evil. Today the news
paper otates for all of us. The opin
ions of the best and wisest men are
published on any topic of interest to
the public and so tho necessity for the
old-time orator has disappeared, and
in .its place we find an engine that can
disseminate news to tens of thousands
nnd which contains tho best thought
of the day.
MR. WILLIAMS' EFFOllT.
To the toast "Ivor Hael," Select
Councilman Richard IT. Williams made
a neat respon&e. One of his choicest
A CLEAN MAN.
Outside cleanliness is less than half
the battle. A man may scrub himself a
dozen tunes a day, and
still be unclean. Good
health means cleanliness
not only outside, but in
side. It means a clean
6tomach, clean bowels,
clean blood, a clean
liver, and new, clean,
healthy tissues nnd fi
bers in every organ of
the body. The man
who is clean in this
way will look it and act
it. He will work with
energy and think clean, clear, healthy
thoughts.
He will never be troubled with liver,
lung, stomach or blood disorders. Dys
pepsia and indigestion originate in
unclean stomachs Blood diseases arc
found where there is unclean blood.
Consumption and bronchitis
mean unclean lungs. Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery prevents these
i diseases. It makes a man's
linsides clean and healthy.
It cleans the digestive or
gans, makes pure, clean
blood, and dean, healthy
flesh. It doesn't make the
flabby fat of corpulency,
but the firm flesh of health.
It restores tone to the nervous system,
and cures nervous exhaustion and
prostration. It contains no alcohol
to inebriate or create craving for injuri
ous stimulants.
Mr, John I,. Coughtnotir, of Glen Bavage,
Somerset Co., Pa., writ "My appetite was
unusually poor, and I was as wiak and nerv
ous as though I had been starved for months.
My heart kept throbbing continually and I was
short of breath, finally I wrote to you lor ad
vice and you informed me that I had Indigestion
and a torpid liver. I did not think your diag
nosis was right, but I ordered six bottles of
' Oddest Medical Discovery from you and began
its use. After uslag three bottles I began to Im
prove slowly and soon went to work, and I have
been working aver since,"
Constipation is the most unclean un
cleanliness. Dr. Pierce's Pleasaut Pel
lets cure it. They never gripe.

tilhutes to the subject of his themo
wan:
"In tho march of hlstorv, deeds and
dates may become obliterated and for
gotten, but character und the lnlluenccs
that grow out of It are perpetuated for
eternity. o It is with Ivor llnel; no
clnonlcler has preserved for us his ac
tual achievements, no grey and mould
ering parchment, nur monuments of
brass relate the story of his life. His
worth and his works are not depend
ent upon perishable material, but aru
written In letters of living light upon
the heart and consciences of men; thcru
to grow and expand with the growth
and expansion of the human spirit. All
that Is known of Ivor Unci Is that he
lived in the fourteenth century, was a
magistrate and a person of rank and
distinction. His birthplace was at
Maselech, Glamorganshire. He en
deared himself to his countrymen by
bis broad charities, his largeness of
view, and his kindly bearing toward
all classes and conditions of men. Some
will perhaps say these virtues are com
mon today. If so, then all the more
should we honor the lives that reflected
their beauty, und who have been In
strumental In making them common."
Toastma-ster D.ivlea Introduced tho
next speaker. Attorney C. E. Daniels,
with a witty speech of an early experi
ence he (the toastmaster) had when
enteilng the drug business.
Mr. Dank Is prefaced his remarks
with an allusion to tho Ulhllcal story
of the "Miracle of tho Wine," saying
"it seems to me that the 'story' has
been reversed tonight and the good
wino has bei n served first, the pool
held to the last." Ills toast, In sub
stance, was responded to as follows-
Tho historical value of the newspaper
as an educator Is lessened because of
the Meeting manner In which the rend
ing Is done. A paper a day old is an
cient, and we subsist on it no belter
than today we do nn yesterday's din
ner. Yet that paper may contain much
of historical value.
In a literary way, the newspapers
har been inlluential In molding tho
kind of literature. The Edlnburg Re
view, vol. xxxl, many yeais ago had
these lines: "Literature, tho Ameri
cans have none: no native literature.
w mean iut why should the
Americans wiite books when a sis
weeks' passage brings them in their
own tongue our sense, science nnd gen
ius in bales nnd hogsheads." Today
that is not ttue, nnd I maintain that
the newspaper Is largely responsible
that it Is not.
NOT WHOLLY TO BLAME.
The newspapers mold If they do not
altogether mnlfc public sentiment Pub
lic sentiment envelopes tho writers of
the day, und thus tho books and maga
zines we read become rejections of th
sentiments molded by the newspaper,
Tho latitude given by the people to the
newspapers in the molding of public
sentiment mny be -juestloned as being
for the best good of the general pub
lic. For Instance: A question of vital
Importance to the nation Hashes across
the country. It may come meteor
like, as the expansion question did.
The Rquedunk RIade Is published In
Squedunk. Tho expansion problem
reaches the town. Much thought,
much time, much icsearch are neces
sary to form a correct judgment. Yet
In an hour's time the editor solves tho
problem In an editorial of half a col
umn's length. It may eventuate that
his solution is the correct one; but
the chances are equal that It will not.
Xlnety-slx per cent, of his constituency
will finally accept as true the male's
solution, and it will bo dilucult to al
ter .acceptance oven in the light of
subsequent circumstances, unless the
Rlade has a change of heart. The
newspaper thus gains a tn mendous
power In doing the thinking for Its con
stituents. Hut while we agree as to Its power
we may cross swords with the modem
newtpapcr as to Its legitimate func
tIon. The newspaper has gone f.ir
from Its proper moorings when tliem
purposes r.re deliberate or untruthful
sensationalism, transformation of its
office into a detective bureau, the heap
ing of ealumy, regardless of cause or
effect, the printing of details so nau
seating as to prevent their circulation
if in yellow-colored form. The news
paper is not. legitimately a sower Into
which may be deposited all the moral
tilth of sinful communities, and that
dished up as mental pabulum for morn
ing and evening meals. There Is no
room for doubt but that along these
lines lies a danger to the Ameilcan
people from tho twentieth century
newspaper.
But while we criticise, let us praise,
too. Tho newspapers, like men, have
their faults and flaws, and wo may
And around them more weeds than
lluwers. Yet let us appreciate that tho
newspapers of today nre broadening
the mental visions of thousands of
minds and are ever bubbling fountains
of knowledge for those on whom fat'?
ha-. not smiled through schools or col
leges. I stood one evening at tho edge of
a lake as the setting sun threw its gol
den rays across the water. It had been
a scorching day, and men had fussed
and fumed at tho sun's heat. Rut In
the mellow scenery of that evening's
sunset, we thought differently of tho
sun and the sun's functl' n. and were
wrapt in wonderment .'Ud admiration.
Pn with the newspaper. We may
chnfc under it at limes, but In our
momenta of sober reilectton we see face
to face and realize the potentialities of
the nevspaper In educational lines.
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.
Judge Edwards offered the following
resolution, which was unanimously
adopted:
"Resolved at the banquet of Robert
Moiris lodge, held March 1, loD9. that
the project of establishing a chair of
Celtic Literature at Marietta college,
Ohio, receive our cordial endorsement."
Dr. Jones thanked the assemblage for
the endorsement, and said he had heard
Judge Edwards was known to always
do the right thing In the right place.
The exercises were closed at 2 o'clock.

It would be a good plan for tho au
thorities to arrest all men found loaf
ing about tho city and suburbs and un
able to give n good account of them
selves, and set them to cleaning tho
streets with a broom and dustpan, If
no other method Is available, iiy the
way, what became of all those impos
sible little go-carts nnd the shovels
that accompanied the white wings of
the Dunning dynasty?
Tills town is Infested Willi suspicious
characters. The fact has been men
tioned before In these columns. Scarce
ly a night passes that some one's house
is not entered by sneak thieves or that
lurking figures are not seen in the
shrubbery of the hill district.
In the day time tramps swarm at
kitchen doors and frequently two of
these sorty-Iooklng Individuals appear
simultaneously at front and back en
trances. They should be arrested, for
It is evident that they arc not after
food, hut are reconnolterlng for busi
ness purposes later.
Tuesday night suspicious characters
with faces disguised or half hidden,
were again about tin1 residence of W.
L. Connell, on Clay avenue. At neatly
the same time two men were seen
prowling mound Thcodoie Wolfe's
house on the same street, and the fact
was disclosed that they visited a num
ber of residences In that vicinity.
Yesterday, while the sun was shin
ing so cheerfully, a man came to the
kitchen door of one house and asked
the maid if he might rome in and warm
bis hands. She looked at him doubt
fully nnd finally nssured him that ho
might keep his hands In his pockets.
Another trmnp was discovered carry
ing off a pair of overshoes from a
neighbor's porch yesterday morning,
but he got away with his spoils before
any outcry was made. The tramp sit
uation Is becoming such a nuisance,
and the burglaries have been so fre
quent, that the domestics in most
homes are growing very waiy Indeed.
A man from the Gas nnd Wnter com
pany complained bitteily this week
that he could scarcely gain enl'ranco to
a house any more, and that It was only
by tho utmost persuasion and the
occular evidence of his book finni the
ofllco that ho could get inside th door.
Plumbers utter similar objections.
