THE TIDIES PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH 27, 1886. 3 LOTS OF BACEELORS. Peculiar candidate for District Attorney; Benjamin Franklin Davis and William Roland, Democrats by adoption and opponents of Chairman Hensel on general principles. But young attorneys are as plentiful as flies in August, and further enumeration is needless. BACHELOB DOCTORS AND OTHERS.

A doctor marries early, as a matter of business, if not for love, fun or necessity. We have but one bachelor doctor of middle age, and, being a hymoeopathist, ho has taken flirtation in homoeopathic doses. I allude to Dr. Samuel H. Metzgar.

I will only mention the young doctors, viz. Dr. G. R. Rohrer, Dr.

H. F. Eberman, Dr. Ilyus and Dr. George P.

King. For all I know, most of these may be sighing like a hollows," if thoy are not writing a rhythmiea medical ballad to their mistresses' eyebrows." These are comparatively young men, with great ambitions and, in the main, of handsome persons. P. Eckert Slaymaker, the prospective cashier of tho Farmors' Bank, has large, dark eyes and a taste for the waltz. John Carter is the young bnchclor cashier of the Northern National Bank, and as keen in business as his clear cut face indicates.

Frank Brenneman is cashier of the old Lancaster County National Bank, having succeeded Major W. L. Peiper. His odd moments are given to literature. He never appears in society, but might make some maid of Prosbytorian tendencies happy as a bank account.

OTHERS AS THEY. COME. Among tho other eligible bachelors of fortune and family I montion James M. Burke, Simon Cameron Long, supervisor of this division of the Pennsylvania Railroad and one of the brightest young men on the road Dr. J.

W. Nelson, his assistant, who comes of good old Virginia stock and who has brains enough to support his standing Roah Frazer, son of Colonel Frazor (one of the old time leaders of law and politics in this county), paymastor in the navy; Charles B. Grubb, son of Clement B. Grubb, with a million behind him; Wood Flinn, handsome and not too bald Charlos II. liarr, our most popular bookseller and publisher, and James MaeGonigle, brother of the Collector of this district good looking, somewhat cynical and not of that age yeVwlion, like Katisha, men are the worso for being a little tough.

I must not foreet tho wild eyed Ed Zahm ono who might be cnllod a star eyed bachelor without any intention to reform and handsome young Sam Bailsman. The Aldermanio calling gives us two bachelors a brunette and blondo. The first is Alexandor F. Donnelly, of tho mysterious Seventh ward, with hair as black as midnight and eyelashos of same huo. Tho other is William J.

Fordney, who administers justice in the Second ward. Ho is tho son of Colonel William B. Forduey and has circumnavigated tho globe and found no ono to master his long tawny moustache. Among journalists thore aro but two who are tho proud and happy possessors of liberty W. W.

Gricst, of the Inquirer, and Robert B. Risk, of the Examiner. As they belong to the craft, havo nothing particular to recommend them and are possibly joined to their bachelor idols I will let them alone. Hero ends tho list. THEY ARE ALL GOOD FELLOWS.

I know thom all. Thoy are not bigoted in politics or religion; thoy are not selfish, but having good digestions they might on occasion, like Shakespoare's judge, rathor bang the guiltless than eat their mutton cold they may grumble about a duty on champagne, but they have a dollar for the poor in short, they have the three virtues enumerated by Luther: they admire woman as a connoisseur does a picture, beautiful to loom at, but too expensive to buy; thoy enjoy song and bright wit, and drink wine with the moderation of gontlomen Lancaster is called old fogyish, but without local prido I say that no city of its size knows bettor what is good to oat and drink; can hotter entertain either in material or intellectual foast3 than this samo old Dutch city. This we owe to our bachelors. They havo roamed tho world like Gibbon thoy havo almost hoard barcfootod monks chant vespers in the temple of Jupiter; they havo moderate means and big hearts; they have no family caros and so look upon the world as all akin. Married men ure groat on special occasions whon a daughter is married or makes her debut to catch a husband.

But the bachelors of Lancaster stand upon our social battlements and have guardod tho citadel of our hospitality so well that the man who comes from afar is willing to tarry within our gates and call us blessed. To reassure himsolf that he has the right PRIESTS AND LABORERS. Bow the Influence of the Clergy Da Been Felt la Strike Trouble. Special Correspondence of The Truss. PrrrBBUEO, March 24.

The intervention of clergymen in labor rronT bleshas become quite popular in this region. They have had a hand in settling nearly all the great difficulties in the past year or two. Only a slight share of the credit has been given them while, in fact, they deserve the most. The one man who swung the great mob of railroad rioters, in 1877, Into the ways of peace was Bishop Domineck, of the Diocese of Pittsburg and Allegheny. That was on July 22, 1877.

He was taken out to Twenty eighth street, the scene of the dreadful confliot, by Colonel James P. Barr, and mounting a freight car delivered a ringing speech that allayed all excitement and poured oil on the troubled waters. That was the first instance in Pittsburg where a clergyman successfully dealt with industrial difficulties. Since then instances have been numerous. In the recent strike of Hungarian coke workers in the Conneilsville region Rev.

Father Lambing, the Catholic priest at Dunbar, became widely known for his influence with the strikers. For two weeks he literally lived in his buggy, which, drawn by an old lame white horse, became a familiar sight among the long rows of deserted ovens. It required bravery and vigilance to enter some of tho camps of those strikers, but Father Lambing was equal to the occasion every time. Ho understood the Hungarians, their habits of life and their language, and as most of them were Catholics he perhaps had more Influence with them and probably did more towards bringing about a settlement than any other man in the county. A couple of months ago the great Edgar Thomson Steel Works was shut down by the strike of its two thousand workmen.

There soemed no way to get at a settlement and for days violence was threatened. The men wero stubborn in their resistance of a reduction of wages and the firm of Carnogie Brothers Co. refusod to recede from their position. The majority of tho strikers nttondod the Catholic church at Braddocks. The priest in charge, Kev.

Father Hickey, quietly went among a few and proposed arbitration. Tho Idea was accepted and with shouts and choers a large meeting was held by tho strikers, at which Father Hickey was ananimously chosen as the arbitrator. In less than two days' time he had settled tho whole difficulty and the two thousand men returned to work satisfiod. This clergyman was formerly stationed in Pittsburg and is very popular throughout all Western Pennsylvania At the present time fifteen hundred working men are on a strike at tho National Tube Works, in McKoesport, this county. Four clergymen of different denominations have joined hands and by speechos, personal canvass and the principle of arbitration have so simplified the situation that at this writing a satisfactory settlement seoms inevitable.

One of these is one of the most eminent Methodist ministers in tho State, Bev. C. A. Boylo, D. D.

His co laborers aro Bev. Father Nolan, of the Catholic Church ltev. A. D. Willingham, of tho Presbyterian Church, and Kev.

H. G. Shoor, of the Episcopal Church. Their inlluonoo with the strikors is all powerful. There is at present also a strike of coal miners at the mines of W.

P. llend Co. A reduction of wages is the cause of tho trouble. Both sides are in a conciliatory position and have chosen arbitrators. The arbitrators are Rev.

Father Hickey, of Brnddock, and Kev. E. B. Donahue, perhaps tho most prominont Presbyterian minister of Pittsburg. These two gentlemen are now hearing both sides.

Rev. Donahue preaches almost weekly on the labor problem and large crowds of workingmen are attracted to his church every Suuday. liev. W. R.

Mackoy, rector of one of the fashionable Episcopalian churches of Pittsburg, has just completed a series of sermons on the industrial situation, in which ho indorses trade unionism, the boycott and socialism, too. His church, too, has beon crowded with laboring people. In addition to all the names here montioned a score or more of others, loading divines of Pittsburg, discuss tho labor problem from the pulpit Sunday alter Sunday. Profound economic sermons have indood taken the places of ordinary sensationalism in Pittsburg. To illustrate what boldness and pluok are necessary on the part of a clergyman to deal with labor difficulties in this vicinity the case of Rev.

J. D. Johnston, of the Mouongahela valley, may be cited. During the groat strike of the river miners last fall lie traveled from point to point advising tho men against violonco. Some timos he went on horseback other times with top boots ho waded in deep mud, and again he experienced the luxury of a back seat on a country wagon.

In his own words the reverend gontleman tells of one of his adventures. Ho says: "Tho band of masked strikors had been playing havoc in that section of the country surrounding Coal Valley. Three times had thoy appeared between 2 and 3 o'clock in the morning and surprised the scab workmen, as they termed them, while they wore going to work. By the shots fired several persons had been injured. The situation was growing more serious, when the employers sent for me.

I took my position shortly aftor midnight one morning behind a huge projecting rock, just overlooking the entrance to a pit. I had boen riding considerably and looked anything olso than a clergyman. That is why they took me for a black sheep when I suddenly came upon them as they marched down in a band of fifty two hours later. Every man was masked. Many carried guns, others clubs and tho balance pistols.

I was instantly covered with a brace of pistols on ono band and by two or three old muskets on tho other. Ono shot had already beon fired. None of them soemed to know me and as a last resort I pullod out a large Bible which I earriod in my breast pocket and held it aloft. Tho strangonoss of tho scone delayed further proceedings for a few moments, which timo I improved by explaining in a loud voice who I was. I then talked quietly with the mon and at last succeeded in saving loss of life and property that morning." This is all right, Hood's Can't Fool me Twice.

This old man's exporience has been that of othors. A year ago ho took Hood's Sarsaparilla with satisfactory rosults. Three months ago he had an attack of his old onemy, and went to a druggist for Hood's Sarsaparilla. The druggist, having a preparation on which he mado more profit, induced the old gontloman to try that. But ho failed to receive the benefit he derived from Hood's Sarsaparilla, so he goes to anotJicr druggist, this time with his mind made up to got Hood's Sarsaparilla.

The western edge of life finds many people feeling a lack of strength and vigor just at the time when they need it most, and they yearn for the life and activity of former years. When a certain age is reaohed it becomes essential that some restorative and tonic medicine should be taken, even if it has not boen the custom to take anything of the kind previously. Naturally, tho machinery of the body has bocomo worn and it should bo lubricated by some good modl eine. One which will give permanent vigor is bettor than a stimulant giving only artificial strength, as it woro. Hood's Sarsaparilla is peculiarly adapted to meet the requirements of Hood's Sarsaparilla is thing, when he gats outside the door he removes the druggist's paper, and by the peculiar color of the wroppor, the pocular neatness with which it is printod, the word Hood's," and the fuo similo of the proprietors' signature, all doubt is removed.

And in perfect confidence that he has got just the peculiar medicine (Hood's Sarsaparilla) which he wanted, his happiness is complete. There is a point here which should bo heeded by every reader. You undoubtedly need a good spring medicine, and now is the best time to take Hood's Sarsaparilla. Josiah W. Cook, president of the Cambridge Mutual Fire Insurance Company, recommends Hood's Sarsaparilla to all who need a regulator of the bowols orabuildingup and strengthening medicine.

"Every spring my wife and children have been troubled with scrofula, sores breaking out on them in various places. My little boy, three years old, has boen a terrible sufferer. Last spring he was one mass of sores from hoad to feet. I was advised by a friend to use Hood's Sarsaparilla, and wo have ail taken it. Tho result is that all my family havo beon cured of scrofula, my little boy being entirely free from sores, and all four of my children are now looking as bright and healthy as possibly can bo.

I havo fonnd Hood's Sarsaparilla also very good for my catarrh. I have not found anything Tc Pofiiliriri d0 me 80 much eood as recimai Hood's Sarsaparilla. I cordially reeommond it. William B. Atuektos, Tassaic City, N.

J. For many months I suffered greatly. My wbolo system seemod to be entirely run down, my ambition was gone, had pains in my back and a feeling of lassitude which I could not throw off. I was treatod unsuccessfully for kidney trouble. Ono day at my brother's I saw a bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla and determined to try it.

Bofore the first bottle was taken I can candidly say I was relieved. I have used the medicine off Tc PoriiliQT anlonever since, and reels rCLUUcU ommond it to all who are suffering from kidney or liver complaints." Mas. W. H. Stbasq, 937 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, N.

Y. "About three years ago I was troubled with liver complaint and used many kinds of modi olnes, which failod. A friend induced me to try Hood's Sarsapurilla. I doubted its value at first, but Its effects woro wonderful. I was cured and recommend it to all othors suffering with liver complaint." Thomas H.

Walters, 1947 Darien Street, Philadelphia. To Itself Important Points Which Make Hood's Sarsaparilla Unlilee Other Medicines and Superior to Them All. Hood's Sarsaparilla Is a peculiar medicine. In very many respects ltis so different from any and all other medicines ever offered to the publio that it is with peculiar force and propriety that it may be said to bo Peculiar to Itself. In its very origin, ten years ago, Hood's Sarsaparilla was peculiar.

A gentleman who had suffered intensely with neuralgic pains, and had tried many physicians and medicines without relief, at last took to the pharmacy of C. X. Hood in Lowell, the proprietors of Hood's Sarsaparilla a prescription embodying a combination of ingredients which tho experienced pharmacist had never seen before. The result was awaited with interest, and to the surprise of all the patient was in a short time porfectly cured. The Idea of this peculiar combination was carefully considered and experiments wore made, to which was brought all the knowledge which modern Tc PnrnHlT researcn ia medical science 1 rLLUHclI had developed.

Taking the successful prescription as a base, to it were added certain well known and approved alterative," diuretic and anti bilious remedies of tho vegetable kingdom, and the now famous Hood's Sarsaparilla was the result It is impossible to detail the. brainwork, study and mado before a result perfectly satisfactory in every respect was secured. Suffice it to say that Hood's Sarsaparilla is peculiar to itself in a strictly medicinal sense, in throe important particulars, viz. first, in tho combination of remedial agents used; second, in the proportion in which thoy are mixed Hard, in the process by which tho active curative properties of tho preparation are socured. These throe important points make Hood's Sarsaparilla peculiar in its medicinal merit, as it accomplishes cures hitherto unknown.

Hood's Sarsaparilla is also pe iKot culiarin its general appear i eC 11113. ance. Note tho neatness in every detail in tho way it is put up, the well printed wrapper, the explicit directions, the care taken to prevent breakage or injury. Remember that every wrapper boars the fac simile of tho signature of tha proprietors. Hood's Sarsaparilla is peculiar in the wonderful cures it has accomplished, wholly unprecedented in the history of medicine, and giving to Hood's Sarsaparilla a cleur right to tho title of The greatest blood purifier ever discovered," Hood's Sarsaparilla is peculiar in the honesty with which every detail of its business is con ducted.

Every testimonial we publish, and every statement we make in our advertisements, aro absolutely true as far as wo know. Largo Ts PpPllli Jr nHmDors oI testimonials como A COUIId.1 to us entirely unsolicited, and wo havo originals of all on file in our office. Hood's Sarsaparilla is peculiar in the originality of its advertising peculiar in the care exercised to avoid any copying of tho methods of competitors; and peculiar in tho compliments which other advertisers pay it by copying headlines and whole advertisements which have become, by years of constant use, thoroughly Identified with our preparation. Hood's Sarsaparilla Is poculiar in the wonderful record it has mado at home. Its sale in Lowell, whore it ia made, has increased slen4ily since its first introduction, and for years it has been the leading blood purifying medicine in the groat Spindle City.

Druggists of Lowoll say they soli more of Hood's Sarsaparilla than of all other Sarsapa rlllas or blood purifiers combined. Such is its popularity that whole familios and neighborhoods are taking it at tho same time. This "good name at home has indeed proven a tower of strength in making the success of Hood's Sarsaparilla abroad. It is poculiar in the phenomenal record of sales it has attained, never equaled by any other preparation in so Bhort a time. Older medicines have been forced to stand aside when real medicinal merit was considered, and to day Hood's Sarsaparilla stands the leading medicine of its kind in the country.

Hood's Sarsaparilla is peculiar in its strength and economy 100 doses ono dollar. It is a concentrated extract from Sarsaparilla, Dock, Juniper Berries, Mandrake, Dandelion and other valuable vegetable remedies, and is much stronger than any similar preparation upon the market. Hence much smaller doses of Hood's Sarsaparilla aro necessary than is the case with other medicinos. A Is Peculiar dollnrbottl of Hood's Sar 8 1 saparilla contains an avor age of more than 100 doses and will last a month, while othors will average to last not over a week. Hence on the simple quostlon of economy Hood's Sarsaparilla is given a decided preference.

If you havo nover tried this medioine, do so this season. From the vast amount of benefit it has done others we believe it will do you good. Hood's Sarsaparilla Sold by druggists, tl six for 5. Prepared by C. HOOD Apothecaries, Lowell, Mass.

ALL XHB NEWS. A PENNSTLTANIA TOWN FTJIX OF KEN WHO WON'T GET MARRIED. SOME OF THEM DISTINGUISHED Lancaster as a Paradise for Bachelors of Al Kinds and Conditions. Special Correspondence of This Times. Lancaster, March 19.

"As a walled town is more worthy than a village, so is tho forehoad of a married man more worthy than the bare brow of a bachelor." So said Touchstone, one of the wittiest of Shakespeare's fools. But we must remombor he was a fool and looking about for excuses to justify his marriage to Audrey, who could not boar herself seemly. Mauprat could contemplate death very easily, but to his face he tells the srafty Richelieu that "to willingly march to marriage requires the courage of the lion." This may account for the fact that fools rush In where angels and soldiers fear to tread. Poets may rave as thoy please about love and wedded bliss, out the world remembers the wise world that Burns was not true, Goethe found oompanion hip after trying other men's wives and Byron tallowed suit. Milton sought peace in his to meoo pipo and revenge for the ills of married Ife by giving us the commonly accepted idea of lell and the dovil.

The bachelor is the ono hu nan being who illustrates the fact that life is rorth living. Such being my opinion, I love to hink of them and write of them. Bear with me moment and I will bring out our Lancaster worthies and let the world know that tho wisest md happiest men we have do not tako their philosophy from tho wit of a Touchstone. THE BACHELOB IS POLITICS. If he cannot kiss babies with the unctuous jraoa of a Kentuokian of the backwoods and 11 sympathetically about domestic troubles, with old married ladies, the bachelor has been successful in Lancaster county poli 'ics.

The names of Buchanan and Stovons iomo trippingly to our tongues the one i President and tho other a national dictator. Coming later in the day and confining our ob iervations more to living, jolly bachelor dogs man to unweddod dead lions, we behold Hon. I. Herr Smith, ex member of Congress, still (voll preserved, though on the shady side of soventy, and whose name at the business end of check can draw a sum sufficient to satisfy any newspaper man outside of halt a dozen big editors. His life has beon successful in business, law and polities and he can rest in peace, with no fear of daughters running away with a soachmau or wild boys being tied up with a barmaid.

Succeeding him in Congress enme "Jolly Jack Hiestand," as his friends know him. A portly man of sixty, with fair round belly, with good oapon lined," as editor and politician, he has beon successful and now enjoys the higliost honor his native county can give him. Care (lies out of the back window when he entors his bachelor home, tho old residence of General James Reynolds, another famous bachelor resident of this town, who sleeps by his soldier brother In our cemetery. Give him tho books of the day, a few boon companions for a game of cards, the best roast of beef in the market, none of the luxuries of lifo and John A. Ifio 3tand knows no man as king and sighs not for a wife's caresses and the millinory bills that thereunto bolong.

THE MUNICIPAL BACHELORS. Our bachelor Mayor, D. I. Bosenmiller, has anjoyed the honors of lifo and none of its married cares. District Attornoy, mombor of tho Legislature and now Mayor has beon his por in the affairs of political lifo.

Ho is iu the prime of life, but possibly so woll impressed with the fact that the thorn in tho side of St. Paul" was supposed to be a wife that ho will not chango his ways. His successor is William A. Morton, mother jolly bachelor big hearted, with a rosy face, a moustacho that has grown gray smiling at the kindly side of lifo. If "Billy" Morton is sver called upon in his official capacity to perform tho marriage ceremony he will in the most courteous manner pronounce the benediction, "God bless you, my children," and yet with a sigh repeat the motto of Puck, What fools these mortals be." In this category of successful political bachelors I must mention Mr.

Clayton Myers, twice City Treasurer and now the Councils' nominee for a third term for tho same place. He is tho Falstaff of our politics not in methods, not in following a Bardolph or Pistol from tavern to tavern, not in drinking sack with a toast in it, neithor, indeod, in cutting wit, but In rotundity of form weighing 300 pounds. Tho only man who can boat his weight In Lancaster Is Lewis Haldy, and only one in New York, tho jamous politician of the County Democracy, Mr. Thomas Costigan. I saw them weighod for a wager and I was stakeholder for a portion of tho bet.

BUSINESS BACHELORS. I should have said bachelors engagod in tho business of the world, and not those who hang their hearts on their sloovcs for daws to pock at." First comes Major B. Frank Breneman. Ho won his military spurs by looking handsomeand riding a quiot horse when Goneral Hoyt did not Investigate our orphans' schools. Tho Major is a business man by training, a society man by Instinct.

His age wo will not tell, because we cannot. He has been under the spells of many female minds, from the literary gatherings at Phoebe Cary's to the charming wilos of a Russian countess. He has looked at aristocratic England in Hyde Park, chatted French to pretty maids in Parisian cafes, sipped wine with dark eyed Spanish beauties under the shadow of tho Alhambra, tried to speak what Byron called that "sweet bastard Latin" to veiled beauties In Venetian gondolas and even bought charms from swarthy maidens in Morocco. But all in vain. Tho handsome Major has yet seen no necessity to marry.

Xud yet ho is a charming host witty withal, and has one characteristic suitable for married existence he is bald. Ho is a great Mason and is now the Grand Panjoram of the Inner Temple of Jerusalem. Next comes Mr. George Steinman, impulsive, rich and of splendid old family. A large hearted man Is the "Genoral" (so called after his father), the head of a big iron store, one who has traveled from the big trees of California to the Hellespont, flirted with all nations, sighed over ball room dames, danced with great ladies, flattered foolish ones and mado fun of wise onos (if thore is such a "spontaneous and still is free and what is more happy.

Among men engaged in the business of putting in time I mention Mr. Mortimer Malone, a gentleman of leisure, with a fat bank account, a good man weighing 240 pounds, Irish by birth and with all the wit and good nature of his race. When he has to sign a petition and puts down his calling he designates himself A Boarder." Next comes Joseph Barnett, who looks like Julius Caisar, but with a bank account which does not become paralyzed by a sealskin coat Mr. Al Dillor, with a big turning establishment; Samuel Demuth, rich from the candy business; Andy Kauffman, with $50,000 in solid real estate; John, Jacob and George Schloich, who have become rich in tho grocery business and have twenty seven houses In their names. I could mention some half dozen of others who might make the deserts of forlorn female hearts bloom with brighter roses than ever Dr.

Higbee dreamed of when writing an educational report. Of these I add the names of William T. Ebor man, Jacob Gablo, John T. Eodsecker and John H. Metzlor.

BACHELORS OF THE BAB. Major Amos Slaymaker comes first by right of seniority. Ho has lately retired from the practice of the law and now lives with his books and only cares for womankind or knows of them as Kenelm Chillingly did In his youth by reading about them. Hon. J.

L. Steinmetz, once membor of the Legislature, now rejoicing in the luxury of a fine offioe and the emoluments of a good practice, Is a cross between a Gorman baron and a French count having the body of tho former and the society Inclinations of tho latter. Being rather fond of display, the woman who takes his hand, with tho big seal ring, may rest assured that sho will walk on soft carpets and amid colors as variegated and bright "as tho flowers that bloom in the spring." J. Hay Brown oomes next, with the largost clientage and biggest practice of any young man at tho bar. Ho figures in politics by way ot amusement and practloes law tor glory and lucre.

He can count his ducats by the thousands, but a private secretary could not keop track ot his impulsive whims. Like Judge Burnslde, of Massachusetts, he is not handsome, but great. He takes a utlliarian viow of womankind and has no more of that soft susceptibility to bright eyes than a Digger Indian bad for the rhythm of Annabel Lee. As a husband we would not recommend him, bnt as a bachelor he has our highest regard. Now cornea William Leaman, tho biggest brained man at the bar, with the most philosophic head and widest scholarship; who knows a little of everything from the fall of Adam to tho last chapter of Herbert Spencer, and who some day will be an ornament to our judiciary.

But Leaman looks upon womankind In a contemplative, humorous, philosophic way as if sho were an abstract proposition in metaphysics. Ho Is absolutely safe from female wiles and bears his liberty with the calmnoss of a Socrates. Colonel Edward MoGovern, who left tho bar to become a soldier and a veteran, and made his money by contracting a scholar and unostentatious gentleman. Then come soma of the younger members of the bar, with reputations to make or failures to endure, viz. Charles I.

Lan ais, chairman of the Republican oounty committee; Clem Kennedy, Will Brown, Harry Carpenter, William Brinton a walking definition of a straight lia having length without breadth or thickness; John ifolone, William D. Weaver, Hood's Sarsaparilla Peculiar such cases. It creates an appetite and so assists in the assimilation of food that tho functions of the body receive tho full nutrient power of that food. Sweets are not good for the appetite, but rather tend to destroy it. As a proof of this, try eating some confectionery before sitting down to your dinner.

Besides creating an appetite and giving regular digostion Hood's Sarsaparilla rouses tho liver, kidneys and other organs which have become torpid and sluggish, it expels impurities from the blood and gives it new vitality and richness, and in fact its beneficent and curative influences extend through the whole system. EIGHTY YEARS OLD. Hon. Edgar Thorn, of Foughkeepsio, N. attorney and counselor at law, ox Surrogato of Dutchess county, had scrofulous sores on his legs, which nothing relieved till he took Hood's Sarsaparilla, which effected a completo euro.

Ho writes Thero is now not a sore on my legs and I can use thorn as I choose. The doctors said that it would not do to heal them ip up, that my general health would 10 ItSGII be impaired; but I have gained six or seven pounds, and have missed but one business day from my offico, which is three quartors of a mile from my houso. I am now on the western edge of lifo, being In my eightieth year." SEVEXTY EIGHT TEARS OLD. Mrs. R.

100 Doses One Dollar MANDOLIN MAD BELLES. The New Musical Craze Among Fashionable New York Girls. From the New York Journal. Tho mandolin I It is such a lovoly name and such a swoot instrument that no wonder it has takon tho place of tho guitar and banjo," said an enthusiastic young lady tho other day. I have glvon up my banjo.

In fact I cannot bear the sound of its twang, now that I havo become familiar with the clear tones of the mandolin, and all the girls in our sot aro just wild over learning to play it." The banjo, that instrument of melody which for the last few yoars has boon the treasured companion of almost every fashionable young girl, has been relegatod to some dark corner of the music room. Its broken strings are mute. It thrums no longer in fantastio melody under the spoil of fair fingers, and its long silken ribbon lies fading and forgotten. It weops for departed glory like Tara's harp. Tho mandolin, that dainty little instrument, tho very name of whioh oalls up to the memory beautiful maidens of Andalusia with beaming, tender, dark eyes and musio in every motion as they strum its strings, has become the fashion of the hour.

The little egg shapod mandolin, decked in gay ribbon, lios conspicuously on the piuno or a special stand and is handled with most loving care by its fair owner. "The introduction of tho mandolin Into New York society may be traced very easily to Mrs. William Waldorf Astor," said a young lady who is much interested In the history of tho instrument. You know, sho learned how to play while In Italy, when hor husband was Minister at the Italian Court, and sho Is now a perfect master of tho mandolin. I remember tho first time she playod upon hor return.

It was at an informal little party givon at hor home to a dozen or more ladios. She brought out her mandolin, took up a tiny oval of tortoise shell and played 'Walt Till the Clouds Roll Santa Lucia' and other delightful little things until we all Tell in love with the pretty instrument, and this is the way it came Into fashion." It Is said that young Mrs. Astor first learned to play on the mandolin from a young Spanish student who had coma to Rome. It is well known that she playod duets with the lovely Queen Margherita, who accompanied hor on the guitar, and that thoy both took lessons from the same master. The mandolin is par exoollenoe a Spanish Instrument and is of very excollont origin.

It was formerly made of all sizes and had from six to twelve strings, and was playod like both a guitar and a luto. Nowadays it is made about the slzo of a violin, the bowl being of oak, In the form of a half egg shell, the smaller part nearest tho neck, which is arranged similar to a guitar. Four groups of two strings each run from the edgo over a bridge of ebony to the keys, and a tiny oval ot tortoise shell or horn is for plnying. The beauty ot the mandolin lies in its belllike tones," said a teacher ot the instrument. "The strings are all of clear wire and when touched with the shell give forth a volume of tinkling sounds.

Only the treble is played similar to the violin and theflugortng is much the same." The loudest sounds come when the pick touches the string just below the sounding oirole and the most Duto liko when played below the last fret. Tha Venetian Mandolin Quartette Club, com ANTHRACITE MINERS' WAGES. Coal Would be Only Fifteen Cents Cheaper if Miner Worked for Kotliiujr. From tho Hazleton Plain Speaker. C.

Ben Johnson, of Wilkesbarre, a reliable authority on mining matters and well known in labor union circlos in the anthracite coal fields, writes as follows To tho car of consumers of coal the statement may sound incredible, but tho fact is that if a miner of Luzorne county worked for nothing the cost of the coal in tho market could not be reduced more than 10 or 15 conts on that account In other words, tho citizen of Philadelphia, who now pays 5.25 for a ton of coal, would got it for $5.10 or $5.15. As nearly as can bo ascertained the average nominal price now paid to tho miner of Luzerne is 38 cents per ton, but he fills a three ton car for tho price of two tons, that is, for 76 cents and out of that money he must pay a laborer for loading it and for powder, oil, otc. Here is the account Amount paid per ton 38 One third off for three ton cars Balance 25s One third off for laborer i Balance 13 Powder, oil, etc 8 Not pay of miner. 10 Suppose wo ndd 50 per cent, to this to covor posaiblo mistakes in calculation, and the fact remains that tho Luzerno county miner is paid for mining a ton of coal the munificent sum of 15 cents. Wages of miners, indeed, wore never lower than they are to day.

Thore is a presumption that they aro working upon a basis adopted many years ago, but they have boen reducod twenty times since that basis was formed, not openly and above board, but by such dovices as increasing the size of the cars, by dockago and by requiring the miners to do, without extra pay, many kinds of propping and dead work," which used to bo dono by men paid specially for such labor by tho day. It is hoped that the new M. and L. A. A.

will romedv most of these wrongs, though not by strikes, but by potition and arbitration. One Statesman Who Has Time to Bead. From tho Cleveland Plain Dealer.

On the wall noar the lottor's Boat Is Bteratadt's painting of tho discovery of tbe Hudson by llolnrlch Hudson.

Yesterday botore the House convened a gentleman chatting with Mr. Outhwulto asked hi in what the palntiug was. The Columbus statesman with much fluency and accuracy described the whole work.

It finally came out that he had made special efforts to post hlmsslf. About two days af lor he entered Congress a couple of those officious females who perlgrlnnte the Capitol came up to this picture and asked Outhwalte what it represented, llo courteously told them he did not kuow. "Ab, I suppose," said one of the ladies, "you are so much immersed In statesmanship you have no leisure for matters of art." That was enough. The momber from the Thirteenth Ohio district sllppod away and found out all about that matter of art. He can now tell tho eiact date when all the historic fly specks on the wall near him appeared.

A Charmer With Cheek and Cigarettes. From the Brooklyn Eairle. An elovated train stopped at the Twenty third street station on the Sixth Avenue Road yesterday afternoon and a richly dressed young woman steppod daintily aboard and moved forward to the only vacant seat In the car. She sank languidly Into it, folded her hands on her lap, pursed her lips and eyes into a sort of pained and reminiscent look and became lost apparently, to her surroundings. She held a prayer book In her gloved hands.

Just bofore the car stoppod at Thirty first street she careened over slightly to one Bide and thrust her hand Into the folds of her dress. She tugged petulantly at somotblug for a moment and thou yanked out a small handkerchief and about a dozen cigarettes. They how around in all directions and the populace grinned, while three or four men stooped forward, picked them up and put them gently lino her outstretched hand, Ilor composure was woudor ful. Not a tinge of color was added to her face as she bowed hor thanks and resumed her devout expression and her vigorous clasp upon the prayer book. She had what Is sometimes called a roposo.

The Farewell thou, whose cherished Image seems A portion of my heart, Whose eyes of light make glad my dreams, Farewell, tor now we part. The tall la swelling In the bay That bears me on my distant way, For years to rove tho dreary sea For years and think of only thee. Tot will that boautoous Imago make The dreary so less drear, And thy remembered smile will waks The hopo that tramples fear. When I shall face tho tempest's wrath, Or struggle through the dangerous path Whore the blue Icebergs, vast and steep, Drlfllug and dashing, crowd tho deep. Then, too, whon Heaven with clouds Is dark And wild wlndn sweep the vale, Wilt thou not think of him whose bark Strlvos with the polar gale? Wilt thou not think, and softly pray For tbe sea wandorer far away, That all his tolls and perils o'er, Ills band may clasp thy hand once more But shouldst thou hear no more of me, Or hear that I have died And sleep within that Icy sea, Or on Its desert side, Will not a pang thy bosom press, Even In thy pride of loveliness A tear In thy sweet eyelids shine For him wbose latest thought was thine? Witiiam Cvllen JtrjatU, MONEY IN STEEL KAILS.

Cost of Production and Prices Received Expenses of Laying Track. From the Chicago Herald. "The North Chicago Rolling Mill Company must be making a great doal of money," said a railroad man. "I understand they aro now turning out 4,000 tons of steel rails a week, for which they aro gotting about $38 a ton. This company has sold rails as low as 1(27 a ton, though without profit.

A curious thing about this rail business is that the prieo Is not much governed by cost of production. Only flf teon years ago a railroad with which I was counooted laid soveral hundred miles of track with stool rails, which oost $150 a ton. Just think of that I And most of tho railroad companies in this country are now trying to oarn fixed charges and dividends on roads built with rails costing from f50 to $150 a ton. Ono year ago last fall a thorough investigation was mado at Pittsburg of the cost of making a ton of steel rails. Everything was considered, including depreciation of plant, repairs, renewals, otc.

It was found that the cost was exactly $26.83. So far as I can observe wages and mntorials are about tho same now as they wore then, and yot the selling price is 10 a ton highor or nearly 40 per cent, above cost. Of course the skilled workmon, furnace men, Bessemer operators and rolling mill hands are paid on a sliding scale the more rails the more wages they got and so the company's profit isn't as large as it might appear. But if they are making a cent they are making 18 to the ton, which is $32,000 a week. This is at the rate of a million and a half a year not at all bad for a plant whose first cost was only three millions.

How much does it cost now to lay a mile of track with stoel rails That depends upon the weight. You can buy rails as light as fifty six pounds to the yard and as heavy as seventy pounds. Sixty may be taken as an avorage. At this woight there are about one hundred and six tons to the mile, costing 4,000 at the mills. It is only a few years since tho railroad mon used to answer inquiries about the cost of rails with the round and approximately correct A dollar a foot' When rails were $150 a ton thoy cost $3 a foot and nearly $16,000 a mile."

From the Chicago Herald. I am a designer and an artist and something ot an Inventor," said a young man who stood on the corner of State and Madison streets one sunny aftornoon last week, and I am familiar with the vast possibilities in arrangoment and combination of colors and forms. But of all the exhibitions of variety I ever saw this takes tbe bark off the troe. I never saw anything like it For an even hour I have been standing here, lost in amazement" "What do you mean?" inquired the Herald rambler. Why, the women's bonnets.

Bet I have seen 10,000 women pass this corner this afternoon, and not ono of them wore a bonnet or hat or head dress of any sort like any other woman. I havo a quick eye for such things, and If there had been any two alike I should certainly have notloed them. Once in a wbile you see one that In some respects resembles some other one, but upon close comparison you find that tbey are quite unlike. The marvel to me Is, as It muet be to any one who gives the subjoct a moment's thought, how so many things as simple as most of these bonnets are can be made with such an endless variety. What designers these bonnot bulld ers must be wondorful, truly wonderful." So Ebb and Flow the Tides of Woe.
