A correspondent In one of our contem poraries has raised the question as to whether the Governor of Pennsylvania Is to be addressed by some distinguish ing title, such as his Excellency. This Is a very old conundrum, both ns apply ing to the President of the United States and to the Chief Executives In various States. The Pittsburg Times revives tho his torical fact that In Congress Immediate ly after the adoption of the Constitu tion there was a Joint committee on ti tle. There was a truly funny and long continued debate on the subject, with a very Btrong disposition, participated In by both the Southern and New En gland Representatives, that the Presi dent should be known by some title. Whether It should bo his "Elective Majesty," his 'Highness," or his "Ex cellency," was the subject of a most ridiculous dispute, and It was conduct ed with so much gravity by some of tho foremoßt men of the time. Nothing was accomplished, however, and we have been getting further from the nonsense of titles ever since. The President has none, and, with tho ex ception of two New England States, there Is no legislation In any of the Estates conferring a title on the Gover nor. It has been somcthlug of a prac tice with many, however, to speak of the Governor as his Excellency, and It has been used sometimes In official In tercourse. Its commonest use, probably, has been In petitions to tho Executive, where It seems to have been thought well to use a little sweetening to securo a proper hearing. In this State we have had Governors with bad taste enough to encourage tho use of the designation, "Your Excel lency." Their communications have been announced to the Legislature as from "His Excellency tho Governor." This does not strike some people as laughable, but It Is altogether so. Wo are confident that when tho secretary of Gov. Hastings Is Intrusted with tho delivery of any message to the Legisla ture his simple announcement will be "a message from tho Governor of tho Commonwealth," and that tliero will bo no foolishness about titles.—Philadel phia Press.

Russian Physicians Revive an Old Method of Treating Wounds, Some of the best-known physicians ' In Russia are strongly advocating the ! adoption In the government hospitals < of an old Cossack custom of treating cuts and wounds with ashes. The Cos- . ' sack peasantry have treated cases In ' [ this fashion from time Immemorial, j and Dr. Paslikoff, a Russian physician, | who has been studying tho treatment, i recently said In an Interview In a Rus sian Journal: "I strongly recommend the treatment of severe cuts and wounds with ashes. Experiment lias convinced me of the thorough efficacy of the treatment, and, In addition, it Is cheap, takes little Cme to arrange, and does away with bulky bandages, which have always been the bnue of nurses and physicians. The best ashes are those resulting from tho burning of some cotton stuff or linen, and only a very thin layer should he applied. If the wound has been made by some dirty Instrument and there Is danger of blood poisoning It should be tlrst washed thoroughly with a lotion. The nshes with the blood forms a hard substance, under which the most severe cuts heal with remark able rapidity." Dr. Pashkoff has experimented with ashes on twenty-eight cases of cuts and only two of the entire number failed to result successfully. These cases would have been cured, too, had not the nurses fntlod to apply prescribed lotions to the wounds before the phy sicians took them In charge. It Is ex tremely probablo that the ashes treat ment will be adopted In the St Peters burg hospitals before long.

It Is the duty of the drama, first, to be clean and wholesome, then truly to entertain, to creato us powerful a charm as it can out of the tragic and comic elements of real life, mixed not too strongly with the ideal sympathies, the ideal beliefs, and hopes and poetry of men. Let It not skip either the facts or the poetry, for men are made up of both; and, as It hopes to live, let It not be so meanly real as to produce the thing Itself rather than the artistic and ideal suggestion, and so uttain merely a cheap shock rather than an abiding pleasure. Of all the reasons for the inability of men to write plays this ten dency is perhaps the commonest and most effective; and we commend this truth to all dramatists who desire to practice their art on matters essen tially unclean. Two or three times in a century, per haps. a genius like that which produc ed "Camille," for instance, can take the corruption for its subject and make it Interesting; but in hands less gifted only the corruption appears, and noth ing more. The same is true of the dra matic use made of the vice of so-called aristocratic society under its polite ve neer, or of any of the dark corners of human life, high or low. There is ugli ness and pollution in these dark corners undoubtedly, and it Is equally certain that the field of the playwright lu un bounded human nature; but he pushes his talent to the furthest stretch of non sense and repulslveness when lie urges the reality of his fevered and obsccno dreams, or pretends that the foul things he finds crawling in the pit are typical of the fragrant meadow above or of tho broad and sunlit surface of the world. As a matter of fact, of course, the men who write these plays do not pretend In private to any such specious motive. They think if a thing is nasty there is more money in it, and they grin and tell you that all their talk about their art and the dark pessimism of life is part of tho hypocrisy of their trade. Their art!— New York Sun. Mrs. Wlckwlre—Did you rend about that man who has been married for tho third time to tho woman he ban been divorced from twice already? Mr. Wlckwlre —Yes.

Oiw of the moat conspicuous figures In the Stogeland of America to-day Is John W. Nor ton. Born in the seventh ward of New York City forty-eix years ago, the friends of his youth were Thomas W. Koone and Frank Chanfrau. We find Keono a star at the age of 25 and Norton In tho flower of early man hood the leading man for Edwin Booth nt the famous Winter Garden Theatre. lie was starred with Lawrence Barrett early in the 70s, and alternated tho leading roles with Charles Thorno at the Variety Theatro In Now Orleans. Early in tho Centennial pear, in Louisville, Norton met our Mary Anderson, then a fair young girl who aspired for stage fame, took her under his guidance and, as everybody knows, led her to fame. Mr. Norton is now tho proprietor of tho Grand Opera House In Br. Louis, tho Du Quesne Theatro, Pittsburg, und one of tho stockholders in tho American Extravaganza Company. One afternoon early in June ho hobbled Into his New York Offloo on Broadway and encountered his business manager, George MCMAUUS, who had also been a rheumatic suf ferer for two years. Norton was surprised that McManus had discarded his cane. Who cured you? he asked. U I cured myself," re plied McManus, "with l)r. Williams' Pink Pills." "I was encouraged by Mr. McManus* euro and as a last resort tried the Pink Pills my self," said Mr. Norton to a Chronicle l re porter. "You have known me lor five years and know how I hnve suffered. Why, dur ing the summer of 1893 I was on my bank at the Mullanphy Hospital, In this city, four weeks. I was put on the old system of diet ing, with a view to clearing those acidulous properties in my blood that medical theorists say is tho cause of my rheumatism. I left the Hospital feeling stronger, but the first damp weather brought with it thoso excru ciating pains in tho legs and back. It was tho same old trouble. After sitting down for a stretch of live minutes the pains screwed my legs into a knot when I arose, ami I hobbled ns painfully as ever. After I had taken my first box of Pink Pills It struck me that the pains were less troublesome. I tried another box, and I began almost un consciously to have fnlth in the Pink Pills. I improved so rapidly that I could rise after sitting at my desk lor an hour and tho twinges of rheumatism that accompanied my rising were so mild that I scarcely noticed them. During the pnst two weeks we have had much rainy weather in St. Louis. Put the dampness has not had the slightest effect in bringing back tho rheumatism, which i consider a sufficient and reliable test of tho efficacy of Pink Pills. I may also say that the Pink Pills have acted as a tonic on my stomach, which I thought was well nigh de stroyed by the thousand and one alleged remedies I consumed in the past live years.*' WALTER BAKER & GO. -—The Largest Manufacturers of LP, PURE, HIGH CRADE COCOAS AND CHOCOLATES r*\ juh.
