MUSTACHES.
What They Indicate To a Close Ob
server of Character.
Much has been said of late about tell
ing character by the mouth. This is
all right so far as it goes—that is,
with the women, or with men who al
ways wear a smooth face, but most
men wear a mustache. The shape
and size of the mustache may tell as
much as the shape and size of the
mouth.
A man rarely hides a fine mouth. If
he wears a mustache he does so be
cause his first experiment proved to
his own satisfaction that his mustache
was worthy of preservation, but he
trains it carefully so that it will not
entirely hide any marks of beauty or
strength. Women do not have all
the vanity.
There is a man who wears a heavy
mustache to hide an ugly mouth or
teeth, or to disguise his feelings. He
is in the habit qf biding a sarcastic
smile behind the drooping mustache.
No dandy would he guilty of such
a monstrous affair. His mustache
must be fine and delicate, at least
graceful, and readily trained into
graceful little curls at the ends. If he
is really fine in his nature the quality
of the hair is silky and soft, easily
curling, and perhaps even naturally
wavy. An even-tempered disposition
is indioated by the soft and well
curved lips, showing beneath this
mustache.
The fierce, bristling mustache which
hides nothing, but stands straight up.
like stubble in a wheat field, shows
an extremely harsh nature, bad tem
per and general uncouthness. A man
with a mustache constantly on the de
fensive. as it were, like sentinels, is to
be avoided.
This is quite different from the long
military mustache, with waxed ends,
which is supposed to be quite fierce,
but which is not so In fact. The mili
tary is quite distinctive from the
French fashion, which is also a waxed
mustache, and is arranged with as
much care as any other part of the
toilet.
As to colors, the same rule follows
aB in the color of the hair. Black is
the most intense in nature, blonde
the least so, while the varying shades
belong to as varied characteristics.
The mixture of colors, such as a red
mustache with dark brown hair, soft
ens the disposition. An absolutely
colorless hair often goes with a thin
lipped mouth, which denotes obstinacy
and lack of sympathy or feellDg.

rr AN EXTRA STOMACH.
Removed From a Man by a Delicate
Surgical Operation.
The facts In a peculiar case of sur
gery, in whioh a former Chicago base
ball player figures, hps been made pub
lic at Battle Creek, Mich. The patient
Is Seth Stratton. His peculiarity is
that he had two stomachs, and yet he
was starving.
Ever since childhood Stratton has
been troubled with his stomach, suf
fering excruciating pain at times.
Some of the best physicians in the
land have treated him. He finally
submitted to an operation at the hos
pital at Battle Creek. An examina
tion on the operating table proved
that he had two stomachs, but was
approaching starvation through inabil
ity to assimilate food. The object of
the surgeons was to remove the sec
ond and superfluous stomach and do
away with the contraction of the eso
phagus that prevented his getting food
into either stomach. This was finally
accomplished. Stratton's trouble had
increased to such an extent that food
had to be forced into his stomach. He
grew thin, weak and pale, and the
operation was all that saved his life
after his case had been pronounced
incurable.
Recently Stratton had an X-ray
photograph taken of his abdominal
region, and it showed a formation on
the esophagus, just above the dia
phragm. It was found that since boy
hood he had been the victim of the
contraction of the esophagus, which
grew worse and worse, until nothing
could pass through it. The retentiQn
of food above this place caused a dis
tention of the esophagus, until the
tubes proved its identity with the ma
jor digestive organ by itself becoming
a stomach. Every feature of the pri
mary pouch was reproduced with the
exception of the muscles. Stratton
1 is inspector for a Chicago gas com
pany. He believes now he is in a fair
way to recover.

CURRENT COMMENT.
JTptom and Comment*, Political and
Otherwise, on Matter* of Interest.
By Andrew J. Palm.
The old man Quay, who has been
considered invincible until recently,
ran up against a stone wall last winter
in the legislature, and he seems tc
have struck something equally solid
in trying to break into the senate on
the credentials furnished by Governor
Stone. Every dog is said to have had
his day, and it is to be hoped that
Quay has had more days than will ever
again be allotted to any corrupt po
litical boss in this or any other coun
try.
What is amusing, even in connection
with so deplorable a condition of af
fairs. is the Republican method of
showing our increased trade in the
Philippines since we began on our
Christianizing campaigns. The twc
thousand air tight coffins in which to
bring home our dead, the millions of
money which we are obliged to send
over to maintain our army, and the
cost of the beer we have taught the
nutives to drink are all solemnly fig
ured in and the aggregate proudly re
ferred to as one of the evidences of the
great increase of exports under Mc-
Kinleylsm.
It is not ten years since the annual
expenses of the government all told
were less than $250,000,000. Mr. Mc-
Kinley, in his schemes of "benevolent
assimilation," and his alleged partner
ship with the Almighty in following
after "destiny," has raised the amount
to $031,000,000. Who must pay it?
Will the millionaire and the trust come
forward and lay down the amount as
a thank offering on Emperor McKln
ley's altar? Not if they know them
selves. They resist to the bitter end
every effort to lax their easy gotten
gains, and if by accident or design
some court happens to decide a law
to tax these gentlemen valid they sim
ply add double the amount of the tax
to their product and make the con
sumer pay it to show him how foolish
it was to attempt to tax gentlemen who
have the ear of the national legislature,
the ear of the courts and both ears of
the executive of the country.
President McKinley says that it
was the providence of God that
put us in possession of the Philip
pines. When and to whom did the
Almighty vouchsafe the information
that $20,000,000 would be about the
right figure to give Spain for her
claim on these islands? When and to
whom did He suggest that it would
be the proper caper to send an army
into the Filipinos' territory, lay waste
their towns, shoot down their people
and establish hundreds of rumholes,
which will soon exterminate the Fili
pino race, if any of it is left after it
passes through Mr. McKinley's process
of "benevolent assimilation?" If God
came to Mr. McKinley in a dream by
night, as He did to Joseph, and told
him so many things that no sensible
man believes, he should say so and put
the responsibility where it belongs.
McKinley stamps himself as an igno
ramus or a hypocrite. God never made
some human beings to be slaughtered
and enslaved by others, nor does He
give some of His people lands upon
which they may support themselves,
and then go into partnership with
others to rob them of it by brute
strength of bloody war.
Commissioner of Pensions Evans
soys that his bureau has on file 20,000
applications for pensions from those
who had some part in the war with
Spain. Of course those who went out
were highly patriotic, men who were
so "mashed" on their country that they
could not possess their souls in peace
at home caring for themselves or de
pendent friends, but could find no rest
until they went out to maintain the
honor of the flag which, like charity,
is made to cover a multitude of sins.
Now more than half of these patriotic
gentlemen who shared so actively in
the war are willing, in the hope of get
ting a paltry pension, to swear that
they were disabled by bullet or disease.
Genuine patriotism is all right, but
that which passes as the pure article
is a sentiment generally as wicked as
it is foolish. The man who has no
love for humanity can have but little
genuine respect for his country, and
the man who has a spark of regard for
humanity will not rush out on the
slightest excuse and want to kill some
body. The common brand of patriot
ism is highly tinctured with those bar
barous instincts that led men to regard
every man outside of his own tribe as
an enemy to be killed on the slightest
provocation.
Wall street has long been supreme in
our national government, and has dic
tated the financial policy of every ad
ministration for 50 years. It never
succeeded, however, in having the
single gold standard imposed absolute
ly in the wording of the law, though
their servile tools at the head of the
treasury department served their pur
pose just as well. But when the finan
cial bill now before congress, the bill
conceived and prepared last summer
by money changers, and railroaded
through the house with indecent haste
becomes a law, Wall street will have
succeeded in capturing the last finan
cial citadel of the common people; the
single gold standard, like Shylock's
pound of flesh, will be nominated in
the bond. Never have the people's
representatives at the national capital
been courageous enough to stand up
and defy Wall street and enact legis
lation in the interest of the rank and
file, but neither have they, until now,
had the brazen audacity or the cow
ardly stupidity, whichever it may be,
to stand up in spite ol all theirdeclara
tions in favor of bimetallism, in the
face of their platforms, national, state
and county, for a generation, and fas
ten in unmistakable language the sin
gle gold standard on the country. Sen
ators who have proclaimed bimetal
lism from the housetops for a lifetime
have fallen under the hypnotic influ
ences of Wall street money changers,
and announce themselves as willing to
surrender the cause of the people. Mc-
Kinley, though an outspoken, rampant
bimetal list but a few short years ago,
will sign the bill, if he gets the chance,
asking God's blessing on this another
act in the destiny of providence, for
any man who can ask God to smile on
the slaughter of an innocent people,
struggling for freedom, can sign a
single gold standard act and imagine,
like Paul when he killed the sainte,
that he is doing God's service,
M'KINLEY SCORED.
r.::v. DR. IWAI.LOW GOER AFTER
HIM WITH HOT TONGS..
The Flghllni Parson A**all* the
President For Wlnr Blbblav, and
Put* Method tat Bishop* In a Deep
Hole.
When Dr. Silas C. Swallow gets af
ter a case of wrong doing he makes It
exceedingly lively for the subject of
his remarks, SB several Pennsylvania
statesmen can bear witness. He asks
the Methodist bishops some very per
tlnent questions which they will not
attempt to answer. As the doctor will
likely be the next Prohibition candi
date for president, It Is not likely that
this will be the last time the bishops
will heat from him. The doctor says:
"The bishops of the Methodist
church, backed by the general confer
ence, its only law making body, have
placed in their book of discipline the
following utterance:
" 'The word of God, the teaching of
science and the lessons of experience
all combing in declaring total ab
stinence from Intoxicating beverages
to be the duty of every Individual.'
"The inference Is that a man who
does not so abstain is not a Christian.
We are prepared to call witnesses to
prove William McKinley does not so
abstain, hut drinks, mingles with
drinkers In a social, unnecessary way,
and puts the bottle to his neighbor's
lips at his own table. Therefore. Will
iam McKinley Is not a Christian.
"Second—They say in their book of
discipline: 'lt Is expected of all who
continue In the church that they con
tinue to evidence their desire of sal
vation by avoiding'—many sins among
them—'drunkenness, buying or selling
spirituous liquors, or drinking them,
unless In cases of extreme necessity.'
"William McKinley encourages their
sale by not preventing It In the army,
at military posts, and In the nev. ly
acquired territory, over all of which he
has supreme control, and the encour
agement has resulted in a holocaust
of debauchery and death. He drinks
Intoxicants with drinkers and drunk
ards, and gives it to others.
"Therefore, William McKlnleyshould
not continue In the church.
"The church law again says:
" 'ln cases of .. using of Intoxicating
liquors as a beverage .. let private re
proof be given by the pastor or leader,
and if there be an acknowledgment of
the fault and proper humiliation, the
person may he borne with. On a sec
ond ofTense the pastor or leader may
take one or two discreet members of
the church. On a third offense let him
be brought to trial, and If found guilty
and there he no sign of real humilia
tion, he shall be expelled.'
"William McKinley has so offended,
and the pastor of the Methodist church
at Canton, 0., where William McKin
ley. It Is said, holds his membership, or
the Rev. Dr. Bristol, pastor of the Met
ropolitan Methodist church, if his
membership Is now held there, should
so proceed, unless the law is made only
for the poor and not for the rich, only
for the plebeian and not for the hler
arch.
"The bishops say over their signa
tures: 'The liquor traffic cannot be le
galized without sin.'
"William McKinley legalizes by per
mitting It in the canteen. Therefore.
William McKinley is a sinner, and
willful sinners should not be retained
in the church.
"The book of discipline calls drink
ing liquor as a beverage 'unchristian
conduct.' William McKinley drinks it
as a beverage; therefore, he Is guilty
of 'unchristian conduct,' and one so
guilty Is not a Christian.
"William McKinley, when owning
and receiving revenue from a saloon
In Canton, 0., was continued a mem
ber of the Methodist church. He was
received with open arms by many of
the bishops at the gonernl conference
at Cleveland In May, 1896. where he
was accorded a public reception. Many
of them quietly, some of them openly,
labored for his election.
"The bishops as members of the mis
sionary committee, held a meeting dur
ing this month in Washington and
were given a public reception at the
White House by President McKinley.
They afterwards appointed a commit
tee to express their thanks to the
president for Ills kindness, which was
done in the following language, which
was either voted upon by the mission
ary committee, including the board of
bishops, or reported to them by the
committee, or, at least. If allowed by
them to go uncontradicted, must be in
terpreted as their sentiment:
" 'We believe President McKinley to
be actuated by lofty motives and hail
him as a worthy successor of the illus
trious men who have preceded him In
the presidency. We greet and congrat
ulate him on his able administration
of our public affairs, both at home and
abroad. And as a broad minded pa
triot, as a Christian gentleman, us a
devout husband, and a God fearing
American statesman, may Heaven
bless and preserve and guide him In
the execution of his great office. Very
respectfully, John F. Hurst, S. F. Hp
ham, Thomas Bowman, James F. Rus
ling, James M. Buckley, committee.'
"Now, what 2,000,000 of the common
people composing the rank and file
of the Methodist church want to know
Is:
"Whether a man who fraternizes
with the millionaire brewer Cox of
Cincinnati, accepts the costly enter
tainment of Greenhut of Chicago,
drinks intoxicants again and again at
public banquets and at his own table,
protects the liquor traffic in the army
canteen in the Philippines and in nls
own saloon when he had'one in Can;
ton, gives young men liquor to drink
at his own table, and does it all In face
of the protest of the Christian publle,
' In open violation of his church vows,
' and of the repeated avowals of the
board of bishops In the quadrennial de
liverances, as also of the general con
ference as embodied In the law of the
church, whether such a man is, in the
language of the resolutions at the
bishops' meeting, and signed by two
bishops, 'a broad minded patriot, a
Christian gentleman, a God-fearing
American statesman?'
"The bishops were wrong when they
made the utterances still found in the
book of discipline, or they are wrong
now. Will they kindly tell the church
which standard set up by them Is the
right standard? We desire to be loyal
1 Methodist#. 8. C. SWALLOW."

I would hate to see McKtnley de

fear that he will be. This policy can
not be sustained in morals, and Is In
contravention to the declaration of in
dependence and the teachings of the
brave men who signed that document.

Robertß has as clear a right as had
General Henderson, who was chosen
speaker, to take the oath as a repre
sentative and to take his seat. From
there he could be dislodged and cast
out by a majority of two-thirds, ac
cording to the federal constitution, and
in no other way could the constitution
be satisfied. It is very dangerous busi
ness, and a very demeaning business,
for one of the houses of congress to
destroy or even to bend under the in
fluence of popular clamor the constitu
tional protection of the rights of rep
resentation.—-New York Sun (Rep.).
A nation, nominally Christian, pro
fessing to accept a divinely appointed
mission to a benighted nation beyond
the seas, and assuming that it has
providentially been called to be the
guardian of a people incapable of de
veloping its own Christian civilization,
uses, as its missionaries, beer and bul
lets, not Bibles. The Christian church
utters but feeble, if any, protest, and
appears to be blind except to visions
of military and political glory. My
protest may he without force, but I
place it on record. May God save our
nation from itself, its own worst
enemy.—Henry B. Metcalf.
Consul Oscar F. Williams, who has
recently returned from the Philippines,
pay the savage Filipinos thi9 tribute:
"The domestic life of the Filipinos
is kind, happy and peaceful. They
are simple in their ways and their fur
niture is meager, but the men and wo
men are affectionate and faithful, and
they are cleanly in their habits per
sonally, and in their homes. I have
never been belrayed or cheated by the
Filipinos since I have been there." He
also says: "They have grown, out of
their ignorance, to fear every white
man, no matter what their national
ity."—Springfield Republican.
Mr. Roberts, the representative of
Utah polygamy, will probably not get
the seat in congresß to which he was

There is a profound silence on the
part of most of the machine newspa

Though the Spanish war was but a
skirmish, as compared with the civil
war, it has been thought necessary to
raise almost us much revenue, and the
expenditures for our military opera
tions exceeded those of the early years
of the civil war, threatening to last
for years. There is no probable relief
from war taxes, and if greater economy
is not enforced either a new issue of
bonds or higher taxation will be nec
essary before the end of the McKin
ley administration. The economic
waste of war is one of its most marked
features. Commercial prosperity may
lead the people to submit for a time
without protest, hut in the end the cost
of imperialism and militarism will im
press itself upon the masses of the
people, who are the chief sufferers,
since most of the rich corporations es
cape the payment of the war taxes by
shifting the burden to their patrons,
who can only protest and pay.—Buffalo
Courier.
The English have held the enemy too
cheap. They are not fighting savages
in breech clouts. They are invading
the country of a civilized people, who
will never he conquered until they are
crushed by an overwhelming force.
The Boers are battling for their homes,
for personal freedom, for relief from
the tyrannous exactions of an alien
country. It is a fight to the death with
them, not a service for hire. Every
man and boy in the ranks has the in
spiration cf doing his duty, with the,
godspeed of wife and mother to
strengthen his courage. It will be no
easy task to whip such a foe. No won
der that the sympathy of the world
should go out to this handful of brave
people, and that every British defeat
is welcomed as a proper visitation.
Kruger has said that "the price would
stagger humanity," and England is be

tion that she must pay her share. —

On what grounds is Roberts to he
excluded from the house of representa

''attained to the age of 25 years?" Has
he not "been seven years a citizen of

was chosen? Was he not legally chosen

answers to all these questions as to

posal to refuse him his seat is a pro
posal to defy the constitution of the
United States, to refuse their political
rights to the people of Utah. This Is
a serious matter. No matter how
worthy the people who advocate Buch
a proposal, no matter how irreproach
able their moral character, the nature
of this proposal is not changed. It is,
looked at In its most favorable light, a
proposal to do evil that good may
come, and the evil is a violation not
only of the fundamental law ordained
by the people of the United States, but
also a violation of a fundamental prin
ciple upon which our liberties rest—
the principle of representative gov
ernment. For such an assault there
could be no Justification. —New York
