Fainting Spells Always indicate a weak heart. They usually follow palpitation or fluttering, shortness of breath, irregular or inter mittent pulse. When the heart mus des are ovrworked or exhausted theye relax, the flow of blood to the brain is interrupted, and unconsciousness follows. Should relaxation continue completely for two or three minutes, sudden death is the result. The surest and best remedy for overworked and debilitated hearts is DR. MILES' Heart Cute* "My heart trouble began several years ago with palpitation, shortness of oreath and smothering.

"A National Bleating/' This was Jay Cooke's familiar say ing, and its acceptance as a truism is the parent of our financial degrada tion, dishonesty and corruption to day. Moreover, its offspring is the pernicious money power which is grasping our entire circulating me dium and doling out to a deluded peo ple, at a cent per cent, rate, as much as it thinks the said people ought to be allowed to have. Now comes the perpetuation of the Jay Cooke maxim through the refund ing scheme which the Senate has Just passed. The bill has become a law and will compel the country to carry the entire present national debt for at least another thirty years. It will saddle our iniquities upon our de scendants. But the increasing surplus In the United States treasury gives every in dication of being sufficient to pay off the present bonded indebtedness of $850,000,000 inside of the nine years they have yet to run, and there will be no interest to pay after 1909. These bonds it is proposed to refund in new ones having thirty years to run, and turn them over to the na tional banks as a basis for their cir culation notes, and in this way future congresses will find it impossible to bring about the withdrawal of the latter and replace them with the gov ernment's own notes or greenbacks. It is destroying the power of the govern ment to create money and vesting that power in private individuals. As the bonds which It is proposed to refund into others to run for thirty years are not yet due, they will have to be bought in the market at the cur rent premium if the Senate bill goes through. This will offer Wall street a splendid chance to send up the price and make a complaisant Secre tary of the Treasury pay it. This is an other reason why the scheme meets with so much favor from the money trußt. As the bonds to be purchased are quoted to-day, their purchase will cost the government almost one hun dred million dollars above their face value, and when the law undertakes to provide for their retirement the price will, of course, go still higher. The plausible Republican argument ip that by the refunding there will be a saving of interest. That thirty-three year bonds bearing 2 per cent, will be in better demand for Investment pur poses than bonds having only eight years to run bearing 3 per cent. But if the money for the payment of the debt is in the treasury earning no in terest it is the height of absurdity to pay 2 per cent, or any interest. It is a manifold robbery of the peo pie. It robs them of thirty years' in terest at 2 per cent, or 60 per cent, on $850,000,000, or $510,000,000; it robs them of over $100,000,000 for prem iums on the present bonds; It robs them of the interest on the money which the banks create on the basis of the refunding bonds, and it puts a mortgage upon every dollar that sweating labor earns to its full equal amount. As this thieving scheme is accepted by the house, then the Republican party will be confronted during the coming campaign with a wave of in dignation that will end almost in a revolution. The people do not yet fully grasp the true inwardness of the outrage, but they will be made to understand that Jay Cooke's maxim Is the equiv alent of the McKinley prosperity—a repudiation of honesty and the pro viding of the rich with safe and profit able investments at the expense of all the people and their reduction to a ! slavish dependence upon a merciless ■ money power. Iron and Steel Trusts. New Jersey has pawned a new In fant industry in the Shelby Steel Tube Company, with a capital of $15,- 000,000—a combination of the Shelby Tube Company of Pennsylvania and several other concerns, increasing the capital stock from $10,000,000 to sls-, 000,000. Of this $6,000,000 Is in 7 per cent, cumulative preferred stock, and $9,000,000 common. On this the earn ings will pay 7 per cent, on the pre ferred and 6 per cent, on the comron stock, which, on the basis of "water," means 16 per cent, on the original capital, which was watered up to $lO,- 000.000 from $6,000,000. CURRENT COMMENT. Notes nnd Comment*, l*olltlenl sad (XhrrwUr, on Matters of Public Interest. Andrew J. Palm. •} If Porto Rico is not a part of the United Stateß what right has congress to appropriate money of the United States for her benefit? There never has been a case In the American con gress In which there was so much hy pocrisy, cowardice and Inconsistency shown as the Republicans have exhib ited In dealing with Porto Rico. Prof. Goldwln Smith, who left a high political position In British politics and a professorship in Oxford universi ty to live In Canada, says that England will no doubt ultimately win In her contest with the Boers, but he consid ers the measure of glory In so doing will be about the same as that gained by England In burning Joan of Arc. The credit to be derived by the United States In subduing the Filipinos may he likened to the glory we gained in hanging Mrs. Surratt because she kept a hoarding house. The broom corn trust has 12,000 tons of stock on hand, but refuses to sell for less than S2OO per ton. This Is far beyond the real value, and as a result a Chicago factory hns Imported 500 tons from Hungary at a total cost of ♦ 120 a ton laid down In Chicago. This Is the first broom corn ever Imported for American factories, and this would not have been bought abroad had not the trust played the hog game a little too hard. The broom corn trußt will now doubtless ask congress to raise the tariff on broom corn In order to pro tect the American farmer, and unless congresß rises above Its usual plane of criminal stupidity In dealing with such questions, the demands of the trust will be speedily complied with. Anything and everything, no matter how out rageous, goes under the lying plea of protection. In the face of the reports that the Filipinos have given up fighting In an organized capacity, Gen. Young, In north Luzon, has recently made sev eral requests for more men. Gen. Bell In southern Luzon has made similar re quests. They declare that their men are exhausted and their force Insuf ficient to hold out against the patriots. The little Insurrection that McKinley speaks of in his message promises to continue long enough to do Its share In defeating the "Emperor of Indecision" for a second term of wicked misrule. Gen. Otlß holds out the Idea that the Filipinos are whipped, hut that It will take more Iroops to keep them whip ped. McKlnley's plan of "benevolent Bufflcation" comes high, but it seems that our people are foolish enough and wicked enough to look on It with Indifference as a necessary evil. The supreme court of Michigan de serves credit for rendering a decision agnlnst the railroads and In favor of the people. It is a sorry fact that courts of last resort usually decide In favor of the corporations. The laws of Michigan provide that when the earnings of passenger trains shall reach a certain sum the fares shall he reduced from three cents to two and a half cents per mile. The report of the Wabash road for 1898 showed that Its earnings had reached the amount fixed by law to Institute a reduction of fares. The road set up the defense, however, that the mall, express and baggage carried on baggage trains are not prop erly counted as part of the earnings of such trains, and refused to pny on the ground that earnings of passenger trains exclusive of these Items did not reach the amount calling for the reduc tion in fares. The court decided, how ever, that the profits from baggage, ex press and mall are properly a part of the earnings of the trains on which they are carried. How many In the state had heard of Foerderer, tho Republican candidate for congressman-at-large, until it was announced he had agreed to pay the price at which the nomination was held? It Is said that the price wns SIO,OOO to the state campaign fund and a like amount to the national fund. It must be humlllntlng to Republicans who have any sense of political hon esty to know that the nomination was hawked about for a financial consid eration and finally picked up by a man who would never been thought of for the place had It not been for his will ingness to pay the price demanded hy the bosses. Money is the first consid eration, fealty to Quay the second, while ability and fitness weigh but lit tle with the machine. Dr. Flood is a man of character and ability, with a reputation that extends beyond the confines of his own state. He Is lo cated, too, In that part of the state from which one candidate should have been taken, but he was turned down, simply because he wouldn't pay the price demanded. Hon. John Wanamaker comes In for a good share of abuse from the Quay organß on account of the hard tumble their patron saint received In the sen ate. They blame Quny'a failure to be seated on Governor Stone'a certificate to the Influence of Mr. Wanamaker. There is no doubt that he contributed more largely to the desirable result than any other man, and he doubtlesß considers the criticism that arises on account of It as the highest praise. Mr. Wanamaker has for years been a persistent and consistent enemy of Quaylsm, and has given both of his time and his means to bring about a better condition of affairs In his party In Philadelphia, as well as In the state. It was due almost entirely to his speeches in '9B and to the efforts of the Business Men's League, of which he Is a leading spirit, that Mr. Quay Is not an honored If not honorable mem ber of the United States senate today. Mr. Wanamaker says that there has not been an honest election In Penn sylvania In 15 years except in spots, and that Philadelphia hns not within the memory of man been so governed as to ensure fair elections. He Is not loved by Quay men, he they Quay Dem ocrats or Quay Republicans, hut he has the respect and good will of ail those who desire honest methods In political matters. Mr. Wanamaker Is not an of fice seeker, but If the time comes when the Pennsylvania Republicans want a man for high official position who has ability and Integrity, and who Is doing | more than any other one man to purify • his party, Mr. Wanamaker will not > long remain without a call. I MM It Will Offer an Unusual Opportunity for Science- THE RESULTS EXPECTED. V..._le In the United Statee—the Track of Totality—Skilled Observ ers Will Be on Hand—Locating Stations. In one respect the sun's total eclipse of May 28 next will be without precedent. Its path Instead of extend ing over the sparsely settled regions that intervene between lowa and the western coast, as In 1878, or stretch ing over the watery expanses of the PaclAc, as In 1883. when the United States had to send an expedition to the Caroline Islands, 4,000 miles west of South America, or let the eclipse go unobserved, will cross the six states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Ala bama, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina, touch Virginia and traverse a very fairly settled portion of the republic, which is covered with a perfect network of rail. The track of totality begins on the PaclAc ocean Just west of Mexico at sunrise, trends due eastward over Mexico, enters the United States very near New Orleans, La., and extends northeastward over Mobile and Montgomery, Ala.., passes close to Atlanta, Ga., and Columbia, S. C„ over Raleigh, N. C., and leaves this country In the region of Norfolk, Va., and Cape Henry. Besides the cities named It Includes thirty other towns that are large enough to And place on the smaller maps. After leav ing the United States the path of the eclipse crosses the Atlantic ocean and touches Europe at Colmbra, Portugal, takes in Algiers nd northern Africa and terminates near the northern end of the Red sea at Buset. The eclipse will last about 1 minute and 12 sec onds near New Orleans, and 1 minute and 40 seconds near Norfolk. The accessibility of the path of the eclipse will render the coming event of Incalculable value to science. Prep arations are being made by nearly all the scientific Institutions in the coun try to place their best Instrumenß and most scientific observers in the field. The United States Government will spend thousands of dollars establish ing observation stations along the path of the eclipse. As Uncle Sam's chief star gaser, Professor Brown, will have charge of the government's prin cipal observations. He Is making preparations for the work with a knowledge born of long experience and a natural genius In all matters appertaining to his science. He has been connected with the observatory for nineteen years. He Is a graduate of the Naval Academy at Annapolis and holds the rank of commander in the navy. "Greater results are probable from the observations thlß year," says Pro fessor Brown, "than from any taken heretofore. During the half decade since the last total eclipse there have been great strides In Improvements In the apparatus employed in the work. Photography has been wonder fully developed and the Improvements In photography alone may efTect re markable discoveries during this year'B eclipse. Moreover, the ease with which the eclipse region may be visited will Increase the number of scientific observers enormously. "The government Is already prepar ing to occupy several stations along the path of totality. The necesary ap- (Path of the Eclipse.) paratus is being gathered and arrang ed. and men especially adapted for the work are being engaged, and their special parts in the observations are being outlined. Congress has allowed $5,000 to the naval observatory for ex penses and $4,000 to the Smithsonian Institute. The naval observatory will send out two expeditions. "The eclipse will be a great attrac tion for amateurs —persons who own photographic outfits or other scientific instruments used in observing the phenomena of the solar eclipse. Let ters have been received at the observ atory which warrant the prognostica tion that probably 1,000 of these unat tached 'amateurs' will be somewhere along the path of the eclipse. The government does not discourage these amateurs, but rather gives them every encouragement and courts contri butions of photographs and data from them to add to the government rec ords. It is remembered that one of the finest sets of photographs of the eclipse In India in 1896 was taken by an amateur with a home-made camera but one having an excellent lens. Am ateurs have been a help in the field In many instances, and they are always ready to volunteer their services. When Professor Carahell of the Lick observatory went to observe the eclipse In India he took only his wife for an assistant; on the field he found all the trained volunteers necessary to manipulate the seven instruments he made use of." HANDSHAKING. Cu*tom That Data* Back to the Be ginning of Time. "It U said by ancient astrologers that shaking hands Is a scientific cus tom which dates back to the begin ning of time. There Is all the differ ence In the world between the various modes of shaking the hand of stranger or friend as to the resulting impres sion obtained by and through that op eration, consciously or unconsciously," said a society woman at a select af ternnon tea. "I claim that the result depends upon the proper position tak en by the two hands clasped, although a mere touch will tell much. We shake hands In order to form a connection between us which will result in the exchange of planetary vibrations which notify us whether we have met a friend or foe. Few people go Into such an exact scientific analysis of the reasons, but perhapß think that they do It because other people do it; that It Is the custom of the country, or because the person met offers the hand. It remains an Indisputable fact, however, that we form likes and dis likes upon touching the hands of strangers, and that friendships or dis likes often start at that point whether we realize It or not. The exchange of impression is strong at the moment of contact of the palm. It makes us un happy to touch some people, and we will not if we can help It. "The most effective handshake Is not the close clasp in all cases, but varies according to the sizes and shapes of the two hands which clasp each other. However they may meet, there Is one spot which Is the mag netic centre of the enltre being—thq mount of the sun, speaking from the standpoint of palmstry—which has the most direct nerve contact with the brain and also most direct blood connection with the heart, and Is, therefore called the ring Anger—with the magnetic pole at Its base. "The physical and mental strength are there united In the strongest mag netic centre of the body. If the two hands thus clasped are placed with magnetic centres in close contact, no matter where the rest of the palm may be, I Insist that there is a strong magnetic current established between these two people. "It may be IntenslAed In effect If the mounts at the baseß of the other Angers also be brought into as closp contact with each other, thus bringing the minor magnetic poles also to gether. Then If the third, or ring Anger, curls around the mount of Venus—astrologlcally situated at the base of the little Anger, above the heart line, and traversed by the mar riage line or lines—and the thumb ex tends across the back of each friend's hand to the knuckle at the base of the 'ring Anger,' clasping those chief mag netic poles the more closely, the law of magnetics Is carried out to com plete perfection, the effects are more pronounced, and we enjoy the pleasur able interchange of vibrations, wheth er we know the 'whys and where fores' or not." "DOCTORED" CIGARS. Pointers on the Manipulation of the Fragment Weed. "Because cigarettes are said to con tain an admixture of certain drugs which are believed to be deleterious to health," said a western dealer in tobacco, "many benevolent ladles and well-lntendirjg gentlemen, the latter, In all probability, having never cut open, much less smoked, a cigar in their lives, think that the small roll of leaf so dear to the heart and purses of other men Is loaded with all sorts of InAammable and dangerous ma terials. "As a matter of actual fact, cigars are, as a rule, made of pure, good to bacco, free from any 'doctoring' pro cesses or manipulations which add to the already sufficient poisonous quali ties of the active principle of tobacco —nicotine. There Is enough of the narcotic In that element. "The so-called 'doctoring' Is largely a matter of popular Action The real leaf of the tobacco is too cheap to at tempt to palm off a smoking substi tute. The poorer grades of the weed are rank enough without adulteration. The cigars put on the market now adays are vastly superior to those smoked by men some years ago, and especially Is tills true of the domestic leaf, which, by Improved cultivation and quality of the seed, and advanced methods of curing packing and hand ling has undergone a change In keep ing with the times. Beyond a slight sprinkling of Innocuous Aavorlng ex tract, to enhance the aroma, as per fume on a handkerchief, cigars of to day, are 'straight goods.' More than ever do men call for a certain brand, even In the cheaper and nickel grades, and It is oftimeß difficult to get them to adapt a new one which we wish to Introduce to the trade. "Several brands of nickel cigars are made from the clippings of a higher priced cigar. There are as many grades of tobacco as of woolen goods, some men don't know this. Some men don't know the difference between a Connecticut and a Havana cigar, and never will. In fact, the ignorance of some men about tobacco IB conceived of only by those who deal in it. They are worse than some women buying dry goods—some men; not all. These men are great bores, as other men of observing bent of mind must notice, when the Arst kind are explaining to us what they think they know about tobacco when made In the form of a cigar.—Washington Star.
