HIGH GRADE VOLUNTEERS.
A high standard has been set for
the volunteers now being recruited
lor the Philippines. If every Am
crican who wanted to enlist was ac
ceptable to the Government, the ten
mriimnts which it is proposed to
o a
send to the islands would be raised
in two weeks. But the qualifica
tions demanded are so high that on
the first day of the enlistment, two-
thirds of the applicants were reject
ed. It is only prudence which sug
gests the selection of men ot strong
constitutions and good physiques, as
the service is not child s play. Many
of the men already recruited have had
military training, some for nearly a
year. It is highly gratifying, too,
to learn that in granting commi
sions the President has an eye to
fitness only.
BRYAN S BIG DOLLARS.
Thirty dollars for 'i piano, five
dollars tor a billiard table, twenty
five dollars for four watches and
clocks, ninety dollars for three horses
and three carriages, five tiollors for
a sewing machine, and the house
hold goods to the amount ol $260,
are the values placed upon his jht
sonal belongings by Mr. Win, J.
Hryan in answer to the tax assessor
of Lincoln, Neb. A casual exam
ination of these figures creating the
pleasing impression among his ad
mirers that Mr. Hryan is really one
of the people and lives most mod
estly. A little closer scruting,
however, discloses the unpleasant
fact that Mr. Hryan hoseither driven
exceedingly hard bargains in the ac
quisition of all the necessities and
some of the luxuries of life and has
used dollars of exceedingly great
purchasing power, or else he has,
like ordinary mortals, simply been
telling the tax assessor a good-sized
fairy tale, to avoid contributing too
much to the support of the State.
Law on Fruit Limbs Over the Line.
The Iaii(stcr Inquirer, in answer
to a qiiestion,saysthut"ifthe branch
es of a tree growing on one's land
extend beyond the line of the same,
and over his neighbor's land, the lat
ter may cut them off so far as they
extend over ; but had they lieen al
lowed to remain for 21 years over
the neighbor's land, ho would have
no right to remove them. Fruit
hanging on a tree is a part of the
real estate and is not the subject of
larceny. If the fruit had fallen to
the ground the neighbor might pick
it up and use it ; but while your
neighbor may remove the branches,
he has no right to the fruit hanging
on the tree. It is not the product ot
ROBERT G. INGERSOLL.
The death of no man in America
would Ik! received with feelings more
widely varied than are aroused by
tin' death of Col. Robert G. Inger
soil. Among those who knew him
only as the aggressive agnostic, his
death will awaken in some a feeling
f relief that the brilliant combator
let ilk 9 . . !
oi unnaturally is forever siienceu :
in others regret that in some way or
other he was not brought toacknowl
edgc his error, and there are still
.1
outers wlio will cherish the convic
tion that a righteous retribution has
at last overtaken the sufferer, while
by all that have had the personal
acquaintance and friendship of the
man and thosearemany hisdeath
will be viewed with profund sorrow.
Colonel Ingcrsoll hail in high de
gree the qualities of head and of
heart which endear a man to his
fellows. Handsome of person, bril
liant of 'wit, pTsuasive of tongue, a
clear logical reasoncr and a deep
student of literature, law and poli
tics, he had every requisite for a
successful career. Hrave, generous,
truthful, charitable and patriotic, he
hud the power to f-way the reason of
men and win their hearts. He was,
in all his dealings, a living exempli
fication of the golden rule. He was
s i a i i y .i
a devoted Husband, a kiiki tauter, a
generous neighbor. Love was his
religion, home was his heaven. He
had no sympathy with those of his
pretended followers and blatant uni
ev-
ucatcd man.

ot marriaee and the liberty ot law. Shoulder 8
t the Cincinnati convention in 1876
delivered the most eloquent, thrill
ing and effective political speech
that has becu made in America since
Patrick Henry. At the funeral ol
his brother a few years later he paid
the most beautiful tribute of frater
nal affection of which wc have any
knowledge, while at the same time
ulmitting the possioility ol and ex-
irvssins a tender yearning lor a
meeting in the great beyond.
And yet the life of this man, en
dowed to win the brightest laurels
in the gift of a great and generous
leople. must be written in failure.
Why ? Because his richest gills,
us keenest wit, his most persuasive
eloquence were used to break down
the Christian religion, the most ben
eficent civilization the world has ever
known, the only civilization that has
worked to the elevation and real od-
ancemcut of mankind. His fatal
fault was not that he was an unbe-
iever, but that he paraded his un
belief and sought to destroy the
faith ot others. He tried to tear
down the dearest iosscssion God has
given to his children, and offered
nothing in its place. Therefore is
the man's name, which should have
been placed so high, written in
sand.
But we can safely leave his final
judgment to Him who in his death
agony cried : "Father, forgive them,
for they know not what they do,"
while we lay flowers on the coffin of
a tender father, a faithful husband,
a generous friend, an open-handed
benefactor, a brave soldier and an
unflinching patriot Phila. limet.

There la not the slightest doubt that the
docton do more harm than good in treating
Contagious Blood Poison; many vlctima of
this loathsome disease would be much better
oS to-day if they had never allowed them
selves to oe dosed on mercury and potash, the
only remedies which the deeton ever give (or
blood poison.
, .. , M The doctors are wholly unable to get rid oi
this Tile poison, and only attempt to heal up the outward appearance of the
disease the sores and eruptions. This they do by driving the poison into the
ytjtetn, and endeavor to keep it shut In with their constant doses of potash
and tneroury. The mouth and throat and other delicate parts then break out
Into sorts, and the fight is continued indefinitely, the drugs doing the system
more damage than the disease itaelf.
Mr. H. L. Myers, 100 Mulberry St., Newark. S. J., says: I had spent a
auuurvu uwiui wnn ine uooiors, wnen i reauxea that
they could do me no good. I had large spots all over my
body, and these soon Osaka out Into running sores, and I
endured all the Buffering which this vile dlaease pro
ducea. I decided to try ST S. S. as a last resort, and was
soon greatly improved. I followed closely your 'Direc
tions for Self-Treatment,' and the large splotchea on my
cheat began to grow paler and smaller, and before long
disappeared entirely. 1 was soon cured perfectly and my
skin has been as clear as glass ever since. I cured my
self at home, after the doctors had failed completely.'
