FREELAND, NOVEMBER 7, 1595
——-
Energy Going to Waste.
Every mm and then some fool man
writes to the papers to say that we are
becoming' a weak race; that the stand
ard of height and measure of physical
accomplishment are not what they
were in the old days—whenever those !
were. The luxury of modern civiliza
tion and the substitution of mechanical I
for bodily energy are held accountable
for this deplorable state of things. Of
course it is useless to argue against J
them. No man who has grown aocus- j
tomed to pate de foie gras is going
back to sustain himself on gluten
bread while his salary keeps up, and
no man is going to pay half a dollar to
a workman to fix up liis last summer's
straw hat in two days when he can have
the job done in ten minutes for half the
money on an electric machine. But
everybody must have noticed that with i
the decrease of occasions for manual
labor there is a compensating output
of energy in other directions. Man is |
constitutionally compelled to use his
muscles. lie has lost the prehensile
caudalily that adorned his thousand j
times great-grandfather, because his
pursuit of agriculture and small game
took him out of the trees and gave him
an ampler footing 011 the ground; but
with this rather unimportant exception
he is stronger, bigger and better
equipped than the relative with which
Mr. Darwin has endowed him. The fact
that he lias everything done for him by
machinery, except his breathing and
a part of his thinking, leaves him with
a surplus of bodily vitality. Why not
employ this energy that is now so lav
ishly wasted? In old aristocratic so
cieties it was against the unwritten law
to do anything useful. A man might
tire himself to death rowing, fishing,
dancing, shooting, playing golf, and do
ing things like that, but if he sawed
wood he was done for. These aristo
cratic conventions no longer obtain, ex
cept among the most gilded of the elect.
The time is ripe, sagely observes a
writer in Harper's Weekly, to advocate
the transformation or utilization ofen
ergy. What we need is a wood-yard
for respectable middle-aged bankers.
Instead of uselessly and tiresoinely go
ing through the setting-up exercises, or
lifting himself from the floor by ropes,
or revolving with great violence around
a bar, or punching a bag, the banker
could go out early and saw wood. lie
would get fully as much exercise as
by the domestic calisthenics, and his ex
ercise would count for something. The
excitement of a sport could be brought
into the event, for a race between a
number of portly gentlemen, to see
which one could first get through his
cord of wood, could hardly fail to be
considered as an improving and exhil
arating spectacle.
As an evidence that brains and brawn
may be found together in the same per
son the invention of a combined trunk
and bathtub by Sandow, the modern
Samson, is cited. The absence of bath
tubs in Europe where he lias traveled ;
suggested the need of some such con
trivance and the strong man hit upon
the very convenient and useful article
in question. The body of the trunk is
lined with tin and the interior filled
with trays. Clothing or personal ef
fects are packed into trays, which are
made to fit the inside of the trunk.
These trays may readily lie removed
and the trunk instantly converted into
a bathtub.
A PARTY of Bar.gor (Me.) bicyclists
rode to Bucksport on a recent Sunday
and to their return they stopped at a
farmhouse to get a drink of water.
The man told them that he could not ac
commodate them with water, but they
could have all the milk they wanted. |
He said that he had to drive his cows
five.miles to water them, and on ac- !
count oi the dry weather he found it al
most impossible to get water enough
for use in the family. There is one
man anyway who doesn't water his
milk.

The Eventful Career of Hon. Amoa
J. Cumminga.
Voted a Congressional Medal for Bravery
ut Fredericksburg—llls Influenee in
the Newspaper Field of New
York City.
ITon. Amos J. Cummings, who is now
a candidate for congress from the Tenth
New York district, was born in Conk
ling, Broome county, N. Y., on May 15,
1811. His father and grandfather were
clergymen of the Christian church. He
was given a common school education
in his native town, and at the age of
twelve, when his father was editor of
the Christian Palladium and the Chris
tian Messenger, he entered his father's
printing ollice as an apprentice in the i
composing room. Then came a period
of four years, during which he left
home and hoed his own row as a com
positor in many western and southern
states. In 1857, while in Mobile, he
joined the famous Walker expedition,
which wound up with his capture,along
with several hundred others, by the
United States sloop-of-war St. Mary's.
After his release he came to New
York city and enjoyed his first taste of
metropolitan journalism, in which he
afterward became so distinguished, by
working at the case in the Tribune of
fice. He remained in the Tribune com
posing room until the call'of the trumpet
of war, when he laid aside, for a time,
the "stick," and took up the sworu.
In the war he w as sergeant major of .
the Twenty-sixth New Jersey volun
teers, participating in many battles,
and was otYicially mentioned for gal
lantry at Fredericksburg, and received
the congressional medal of honor by
order of the secretary of war. Here- '
turned from the war in time to partici
pate in the defense of the Tribune office
when it was mobbed by the rioters in
July, ISG3. Mr. Ctunmings was one of
the four compositors w ho remained in
the office. Mr. Cummings lost his situ- 1
ntion with the Tribune by a strike for
higher wages in which he participated,
and for a time set type on the Yonkers
Statesman. Returning to New York in
December,he .secured work with Charles
J3. Wilbour, one of the owners of the
Law Transcript. Wilbour contracted

jeet to the draft, and Cummings worked
upon the list until he was offered a situ
ation in the editorial 100111 of the Trib
une.
Just after Christmas, in 1564, lie was
placed in charge of the Weekly Tribune, j
After serving nearly two years on the
weekly lie became night editor, and aft
erward city editor and political editor 1
of the daily edition of the Tribune. He
has charge of the political department ;
of the paper during the first Grant cam
paign. 111 18G9 he became managing '
editor of the Sun, and remained there
until t lie w inter of 1872. Broken down
in health by overwork, he went to Flor
ida. In the following summer he vis- I
ited Colorado, Utah, Nebraska and Cali- I
fornia, sending correspondence to tin 4 '
Sun over the signature of "Ziska"
which attracted much attention. Mr.
Cummings went to Florida every win
ter until the spring of 187G, and his
Florida letters reached a world-wide
circulation. lie visited the Everglades, ;
Lake Okechobcc and other parts of the
state, then but little known.
In the spring of 187G lie returned to
New York and took charge of the New
York Evening Express. He remained
there until after the nomination of Mr
Tilden. In 1884 Mr. Cummings was
elected president of the New York
Pre s club. lie accepted a reelection,
and declined a thirdrenomination.
Jn the fall of 188G he was elected to
congress. 011 March 17 following lie
became the editor of the Evening Sun.
Ilere he remained until the opening of
congress in December. The Evening
Sun under his administration became
one of tin- leading evening newspapers
of New York.
lie declined a renomination for con
gress in l.ss.S, but in the fall of 1889 was
elected to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of "Sunset" Cox, and he lias been
twice reelected from that district. In
congress Mr. Cummings has been an
active supporter of all measures
brought, before the house in the inter
; est of labor.
Discovery of a Great River.
! The expedition of Dr. Bell, of the
geographical survey, undertaken last
June into t he fast nessesof British Amer
ica by a route directly north from Ot
tawa to Ruperts house on James bay,
has resulted in the discovery of a river
| which Dr. Bell describes as the "Nile
j of the north," and the sixth largest
river in 1110 world. Its average width
is a mile, and it is five hundred inilcs
long. 11 has three tributaries, one ris
ing north of Three rivers, another in
the Lake St. John region, and the third
near Lake Misfa-sini. A primitive for
est skirts the river's brink the whole
distance, which is navigable from the
rapids to the north.
Over Seven Miles Up.
i The highest, point ever attained by
; man was that reached by Cox and
I filaisher, in ISG3, 37,000 feet above the
sea.
AUNT SUSAN RETIRES.
! Miss Anthony to Devote tt;o Ki-maincV.
of Iler Days to Rest.
Word comes from Rochester, N. Y.,
the home of Susan B. Anthony, that the
; famous woman suffrage advocate has
determined to pass the remainder of her
days quietly at that place. Miss
Anthony's health is excellent this fall
j notwithstanding rumors to the con
trary since the fainting spells with
which she was afflicted last summer.
But it is not likely that she will ever
again engage 111 protracted effort in be
half of the suffrage,or any other cause.
She is well along in years and under
stands that she cannot do better than
to give the younger w omen of the move
inent a chance. In all probability

therefore, she will remain quietly In
Rochester for the remainder of her life
To her friends she says she is quite re
signed, but there is no doubt whatever
that she fully expected the constitu
tional convention of 1891 to give tho
vote to herself and her sisters.
Miss Anthony's home is a pretty
brick house standing 11 little back from
the street in a small grass plot, and is
shaded by graceful maples. With her
li\cs her sister Mary. She, like Susan
8., has never married. "Aunt Mary,"
as she is known to her intimates, lias
the most profound respect and affection
for In r sister, and lias practically
effaced herself all her life in order that
Susan might round out lier career. Un
til a few years ago Mary Anthony was |
I a teacher in one of the public shools.
She is nearly as old as Susan, and for
thirty years, at least, she gave most of
her working hours to the training of
juvenile minds and ministering to her
sister's comfort, or helping her prepare
addresses and papers for publication,
i Yet she managed always to keep abreast
' of tlie times and to familiarize herself
with the latest books. She lias also
done a good deal of speech-making at
home, mostly before the Ignorance
club, of which both Susan and herself
arc members, and those who have heard
her say she is as good a speaker as is
Susan. Besides she is an excellent
housekeeper, but in this she cannot
excel "Aunt Susan," who, all her
friends declare, would have made an
ideal housewife. In fact, there are
many women here who declare "Aunt
Susan's" bread to be the lightest,
whitest and sweetest they have evei
: tasted.
FOND OF RATTLERS.
A Little Dakota Girl and Zlor Collection
of Venomous Snakes.
The librarian of congress at Wasli-
I ington has recently received from an
1 artist at Hot Springs, S. D., a photo
graph of Martha Mclntyrc, an eight
year-old child, who from her infancy
has had rattlesnakes for pets. When
she was four years old she found a
huge rattler coiled up in the yard near
her father's house, and by some mys
terious power was able to come close
and take hold of him, which she did
apparently without the slightest fear.
Every niont li or so she would find a new
snake in the woods near the house, and

'William Morris, Who Ma 3' lie Foot Lau
reate of England.
There is no so little understood a
man in the literary world cf London a: '
William Morris, who has been spoken
of lately in connection with the post j
of poet laureate. It is because he is BO
many-sided a man that he is known j
neither by his countrymen nor by
Americans. Tf lie were only a mere
poet it would he easy to write of him—*
to make an estimate and properly class- j
ify him—but he is a larger ligure in I
life than he is in literature, and ho 1
therefore belongs to the future rather 1
than to the present in the way of criti
cism.
He is spoken of indiscriminately as a
socialist, as u designer of furniture and

wall paper, and as a poet. At Kelmscott
house, Hammersmith, he designs es
thetic wall papers for which he is de
servedly famous, and the Ivelmseott
Press, which he conducts, is noted for
the beautiful books which it produces.
Though he seems to be set nowaday;
on winning laurels as a designer and
publisher, William Morris lias a long
and brilliant record as a poet. His first
hook of verses: "The Defense of Guine
vere and Other Poems," was publisher
as far hack as 1858. This was followed
by "The Life and Death of Jason,"
which put him in the first rank of liv
tig poets. In his next work: "Tin
Earthly Paradise," lie well-nigh ex
hausted the treasures of Greek mythol
ogy and Gothic folklore. This is a
work with a plun which is somewhat
indebted to that of the "Canterbury
Tales."
Certain gentlemen and mariners of
Norway sail in quest of "the earthly
paradise".—an island of bliss--find it,
and remain in it for the remainder of
their lives, passing Ihe time with tales
from Creek and Teutonic sources. Tin
poem is not meant, to inculcate vigor or
active effort (though these may find
their remote position in the tales); the
primary conception implies a castle of
indolence, an existence conditioned by
languid repose. The poet does not
fume and fret, but he has hopes that
when there is leisure he may be thought
worthy of some attention:
Hut rather when aweary of your mirth
From full hearts still unsatisfied 3*o sigh,
And feeling kindly unto all the earth
Grudge every minute as it passes by,
Made tho more mindful as the sweet days
die-
Remember IN - ? a little then, T pray,
The idle singer of an empty day.
The critics of Mr. William Morris
have complained of late that he has
wasted too much time over the transla
tion of Icelandic Sagas. But, as before
.-dated, lie is far greater as a man than
as a poet. At Merton Abbey in Surrey
he has run for some years a factory it:
which by producing artistic wall paper,
furniture, etc., he has tried to restore
the dignity of art to ordinary house
hold decoration. He has fought that
•urse of the whole Philistine world,
sham' art and stupid bric-a-brac. Hi.
fundamental principle was thus ex
pressed in one of his lectures: "I do
not want art for the few any more than
education for the few or freedom fo.
the few."

DUKE OF MAIILBOIIOUG.iI.
The Young Man Who Is to Wed
C'onsualo Vandarbilt.
What TIo Drinks Lots, Smokes and Thinks
ami tho Way Ho Looks, Acts autl
Wears Ills Clothes—Not uu
Imposing Personage.
Perhaps you have never seen the duke
of Marlborough. It is quite likely that
you haven't, lie is, according to the
New York World, a very exclusive gen
tleninn—stops at exclusive hotels, as
sociate.; with exclusive people, lie is,
you know, the young man who is to
marry a girl who will get something
like $15,000,000 when she is married;
later on in life she will have about $25,-
000,000 if she survives her parents.
If you were to see his lordship the
duke, you would be disappointed.
Somehow or other the mind's eye con
jures up a vision of a deep-chested,
stout-limbed, brawny and oftentimes
handsome fellow when an Englishman
is mentioned. That is not so of the
duke. Englishmen are not always
handsome and muscular any more than
Americans are. And the vast majority
of Englishmen of the noble birth arc
anything but athletic in build. Nature
did not treat the ninth duke of Mail
borough very kindly in the matter of
physical proportions. lie is very short
rf stature and some people say of
money also, lie isn't more than 5 feet
and 5 inches in height.
In the matter of weight it is about an
even thing between his lordship and his
affianced. lie weighs about 120 pounds.
His chest is hollow, and for that reason
he is lacking in lung'power. l'eing
somewhat short of wind, as of other
things, lie speaks in almost a whisper,
and sometimes he is almost inaudible
in his speech. Servants are very fre
quently put to the embarrassing neces
sity of exclaiming: "Begging your
lord -hip's pardon," thus indieatingthat
they desire the question or the com
mand repeated.
Being short of stature, it is not at nil
likely that the duke would look one
whit more imposing if were to wear
American made clothing. That would
at least outline his figure and its sym
metry or the lack of it. But his clothes
Sdjf I
Y"'" 'V v y
THE DUKE OF MARLBOROUGH.
are of course of foreign make. lie is no
credit to his tailor. Perhaps his tailor
is a credit to him. lie looks as though
he had been thrown into his clothing.
His coats are several sizes too large for
him. So are his trousers. That is, of
course, the fault of his tailor. But it
mars tho appearance of the duke. The
only redeeming feature of his garb is
the material used. That is usually of
Scotch tweed or English worsted.
Those are very nice materials.
In the mater of linen thedukeisquite
up to date. For ordinary attire he
v ears a shirt of a delicate, shade of blue
or pink or lavender, lie is, or was,
rather inclined to suerifice style to com
fort during the warm days, lie often
appeared in the lobby of the Waldorf,
v here he makes his home, in a negligee
shirt, with collar uttached. Ills cuffs
were quite large. In the matter of
neckwear there is not so much to be
said in his favor. llis cravats would
look very chic on a small boy in aFaun
tJeroy suit, but they are too young for
the duke, llis red scarf is not that
rich red called bullock's-blood by the
haberdashers, but it is more like n rain
bow hue of pink. His blue scarf is not
the Bond street blue nor the robin's
egg blue, either of which would be
appropriate to his blond complexion.
It is a baby blue. It doesn't
look well. Bootmakers say that
a long narrow foot on a man is an
c\ idence of gentle birth and refinement.
The duke's foot is long and narapw, but
lii.i shoes are not pointed to such an
alarming and absurd extent as they
might be without transgressing the
rules of fashion.
His hats are queer, llis derby is
very low in the crown, and the brim is
not wide enough to accord with this
season's idea of what is tlie proper
thing in headgear. But it suits the
duke, and several of the uptown chap
pies are gearing the same style of
derby. They couldn't wait to have
the hats imported. But nn American
hatter who dictates the fashion on this
side sent a designer from his shop to
set his eagle eye on the lines of the
duke's hat, and straightway the de
signer made a block just like it. There
were seven hats made from the block.
The duke smokes cigarettes, some
times cigars. They are always mild..
Imported, of course. He pays twenty
five cents for each cigar. He only
buys one at a time, which leaves one to
infer that lie is not a heavy smoker,
and, furthermore, that he has not the
habit of sticking his hand intoliis waist
coat pocket and drawing out a cigar to
offer to a friend.
When the duke is thirsty he drinks
champagne. He is.very fond of that
beverage as a thirst assuager. lie can
polish off n bottle—a pint, of*ourse—
in a very artistic manner. lie don't
like the plebeian American drinks, lie
never tasted the American brew of beer
but once. Then he didn't like it. Nor
does he like the American cocktails,
